| Okiku cutting the guy's top notch was funny but that's about it. |
 |
| Too bad she didn't also cut his loincloth. |
 |
| I love the topknot moment but hate how it took most of the episode to get to it. |
| yeah this episode was very dragged out. Not much to comment on. |
 |
| This episode left a very bad taste in my mouth. If this keeps going we'll have ourselves the second coming of Dressrosa, a fucking great arc filled to the brim with emotion but with shit tier pacing. I think that I might wait not for the next episodes to drop but for the One Pace team to make them enjoyable. |

animeisbest said: I really like samurai manga and anime so I waited for one piece to reach this arc looking foward to oda depiction of it. so far I'm a little disappointed, to many boring and nonsensical things. like fluffy holding a sword but still punching people and having khaki but not using it to save tama. does the arc get better? I wanna keep watching or maybe finally transferring to reading it but idk. The story will get better once Holdem is taken out and Luffy meets Kinemon again. Including introducing a new story element that has never been in One Piece up until now. |
| Alright ep., but the problem with this anime/maybe manga have always been that the author/director make the women (especially the side characters) look so weak. No screentime for a side-character is shown. It's always the main character who comes and saves the day. It's good to see him too, but it's annoying that they portrait him as the hero who saves all the woman. Where is the woman power in this series. If she have a famous sword and is a samurai show us more than cutting a top-knot, which was by the way very good move, but however it was too short. The women need to participate more in the fights and not be some scared weak ducks. -.- In this case, for example, I would actually expect that she resisted that slap of the purple haired sumo wrestler, not being saved by Luffy. It's true this is a shounen anime, but at the same time the women need to be portrait stronger than they actually are. There are actually some good shounen anime where women are portrait stronger than this one. All in all, a fine ep. Nothing special to brag about beside that the animation looked alright. What I really love with this director is that he doesn't show the same frame of the audience again and again when something happens. This was the case in Dressrosa arc in the Colosseum fights which I somehow found very annoying. |

I'm confident she could have beaten Sumo guy with no difficulty. |
| I agree with most people here. Nothing to much happened in this episode and atm it feels more like a side story. But tbh the kings haki at the beginning was pretty cool. The new style they use for haki overall looks so good. I can't really judge Okiku. In one moment she's acts like a super shy and helpless girl and in the next moment like when she cut the bun of Yokozuna she looked like a real samurai for a moment. Zoro with all his samurai pride didn't want to cut a naked man :D I was hoping Luffy would go to help Okiku. Luffy as a sumo wrestler. Should be fun to see this fight. |

But yeah as you said it may be that she was holding back. |

Big mom arc was the most boring shit i ever watched the only good thing was Purin and Katakuri, 902 episodes and one piece still the same shit, Luffy beats people with 1 billion Belli(Katakuri), then says "im strong" and after some minutes later he cant beat a fucking BatMan and a gazzelle guy, this is just boring and one of OP biggest problem with power leveling, how the anime/Mangaka makes chars hold their powers, ffs Luffy has 1,5b belli bounty he should fking 1hit this figurants chars...aside from that at least the animation is worth the time now, and O-Kiku seems interesting (plus she a beauty) oh yeh and finnaly we see best girl wearing a Yukata Robin <3 PS: from a 24min episode we have 10ish minutes of content cuse of the way toei animation been draggin episodes after the time Skip....it makes the show boring which makes me sad cuse i like OP and many of it chars. |

If you don't get down the level of Luffy or main characters the audience it's gonna get bored. Bored of what? Bored of an superpowerfull and over strong character as you expect of his recompense. Plus, maybe you feel like this because of you are reading in paralel the manga and sometimes this gets things so much boring than sees the anime without know anything. Maybe that is one of the reasons why you stopped to follow the animation and got bored during the arc of Big Mom. |
-¡Give yourself to me! |
| so nice...the sumo fighting starts...hope tama is ok though |
 |
| Okk this episode was totally dragged to show that Luffy is a wannabe Sumo... but at least they didn't moved it to more than 1 ep xD Overall pacing is slow... but I guess starting episodes are always weird Luffy better slap Holdem even harder after what he's doing to Tama.. D:< |
What a way to end the episode, Kiku cut off topknot of that sumo asshole, and now Luffy enter in the ring  |
| This is probably the first time that I didn't like seeing Luffy's conqueror's haki I mean what the hell was that yellow light thing? If they think adding that makes it cooler then it had the opposite effect |
 |
| Luffy, Zoro and Okiku arrived to Bakura Town, where Luffy knocked out the guards with conqueror’s haki. Suddenly, a sumo wrestler fell from the sky, and Luffy’s group went to the sumo arena, there, Urashima ordered the sumos to get Okiku, so, in the action, Zoro left them to take her, in the sumo arena, Okiku defended herself cutting Urashima’s topknot, unleashing his rage, but Luffy entered to action. I was thinking, why does Zoro did nothing, when Luffy asked the question. For a moment I thought that Urashima had Kuma’s devil fruit. |

| These sumo wrestlers that are 3 times as small really think they had a chance? - They're at crotch level for crying out loud ... Gomu Gomu no ... SUMO SLAP! |
 |
| This arc is looking greattt. The animation is amazing holy. every frame with zoro, luffy and okiku is immaculate |
 |
| someone really needs to make a video with all Otama noises, so that when people ask how good Wano arc is, we just redirect him to the video. Man, the state of this anime, 100 episodes ago I was bored but now I'm angry watching it and I have a clear mind and I'm relaxed, I'm watching it at 10:00 in the morning with a full breakfast in my stomach and clean glasses, sigh... |

| It may come off as strange to criticize an incompetent and cartoonish villain group after coming off of the Don Quixote family and the Big Mom family. Yet nonetheless I can't help but feel somewhat let down by all of Kaido's men excluding the Supernovas or Jack. Still, I must be fair and acknowledge the dichotomy that they create. By creating an incompetent and power-hungry army which thrives off status and looks at all below them as insects,we can see the kind of culture here and the class divide. The guys in charge are willing to kill an entire woman's family to force her to marry them, or kidnap and torture children. Holden cannot even make peace with his own body, and gazelle or bat man are just total weirdos, although I must admit gazelle man won me over as hilarious. That said, unlike some people here, I look forward to the next episode. To take down a big dog to force the boss out, and to do so while having fun and dunking on this blob of injustice and entitlement with his own style is really fun in my mind. Perhaps it's because I already love samurai and find sumo fascinating that this will hopefully appeal to me. |
| What happened to the crowd of people guarding the entrance? It seemed like they revamped the atmosphere in this episode. Where's the Whole Cake Island-level of ruckus that Luffy stirs up? Trafalgar Law should go back to sleep, somehow the crowd of people and Luffy gearing up to rush in and put a faint spell on everyone went into the mist. They just ended up in the entrance. No ruckus. No one's screaming invader. I'm not even sure the tiger jumped over them and feel like they just scrapped the crowd of guard preparing at the entrance situation. |
| Feels like losing all five senses & Maybe not able to have thoughts, Enjoi... |
| Love how simply badass it is to fix his mistake up by simply knocking all these guards up with Luffy's haoshoku haki. Knowing who OKiku is, honestly seeing OKiku shying away from Urashima is really adorable. Although I can't help but simply shake my head in when she shrieked every now and again. Love how Okiku cut off Urashima's top knot only to act helpless whilst sneaking in 1 more insult at his ugly ass face, fucking savage! Next up we get to see Luffy facing off Urashima, sumo matches will never get old. |
  |
| The samurai girl, Okiku chopped his topknot. That's disrespectful but deserved it. Luffy in the end was awesome there. |
 |
| Nothing really happened this ep but the end got me excited for Luffy as a Sumo wrestler |
| I'm glaad Kiku took action against Urashima, and here I thought he would get unscathed, BUT Kiku sliced his hair knot off xD NOW LUFFY WILL SMACK HIM!! |
| August 6th 2023: Biggest upset ever, deception, selfishness, or scammed, manipulated. Heavy damage costs, and more. Days since: 15 Last updated: 8/21/2023 One Piece Episode 1041 & 1042 & 1047 & 1048 & 95.75%/1049 & 1053 were a mistake and Uta brought the salvation -AhriTheS3xyFox |
| Kyaaaaaaa !!! -_- |
Loli world is just a cute world full of cute meat |
| It looks like Luffy and friends ended up getting sidetracked by Urashima making a fuss over Okiku. I hope that Otama's okay since it'll be a while until they actually end up finding Holdem's hideout... You'd think that getting your hair cleanly sliced off would be enough of an indication that the one who did it would've been more than capable of chopping your head off. Know when to fold 'em, fatty. It's probably just because of people like Pudding but I wonder if Okiku was trying to hide a smile when she covered her mouth and ridiculed Urashima before Luffy stepped in lmao |
 |
| Okiku's goading is, dare I say it, top-knotch. Her character design & samurai bearings remind me a bit of Kaoru from Rurouni Kenshin. Actually, this whole arc is giving me RK vibes (setting wise, anyway). |
 |
| i like the sumo stuff but i was more hoping they'd save the little girl and chopper would somehow get in the ring and flip his ass to the moon. all in all this could have been condensed to like, 3 minutes |
 |
| That Haosoku no Haki new effect looks really cool. Not Luffy giving him a High Five LMAO Where is Law at? He completely failed to stop Luffy from causing a trouble lol |
