Gator said: At least they portrayed how much stronger Kaido is in the very last scene, but all that beating before was pretty unnecessary and just stretched things out. To me it was clear from the moment he started engaging Kaido he wasn't going to put a scratch on him. Every single time he kept hitting him, not a single wound, not a single drop of blood ... nothing. Kaido just kept standing up, taking Luffy's punches Now it really shows the power of a "Yonko" ... Emperor of the Sea, it wasn't as clear when he was fighting Big Mom. Now I also understand the reactions we got from people seeing Luffy being crowned the "Fifth Emperor of the Sea" ... clearly he's not even close to being considered one. I honestly have no idea where this series is heading towards now, another timeskip? - Eventually finding his crew and beating Kaido together as a team? Hell ... is the plan they discussed even still on? |

| Ooof Luffy has bit more than he could chew. I wouldn't be surprised if he dies. His luck has run out. Though once Kaido reverted back all that scattered energy must have collected in one fine area. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Damn, that's the difference between Luffy and a true Yonko level. I imagine the same thing would have happened had he fought with Charlotte Linlin too, but that's for some other time I suppose. Got to say, this fight though was kind of tacky imo. Red miasma radiating from him was an interesting visual effect though, I must say. Surprised that Kaido's stronger form is in his normal mode rather than the transformation, or was it because he was just drunk giving Luffy the chance to utilise with that rampage? Luffy'll be back to prison again it seems. Poor Law, plans and Luffy just don't go hand-in-hand... |

| For a drunken Kaido to unflinchingly stare into Luffy's strongest moves, often without trying to move a finger, left a strong impression. All I could think was that he was trying to vet out Luffy. As in, he wanted to see what this kid could do, or perhaps as he has stated he wants to die, he was seeing if this kid was capable of killing him. I am unsure if this reading is actually strong but it's all I could think of while seeing his frightening presence. Every single hit Luffy landed only made everything feel all the more miserable and futile. The thing is, the music didn't seem to agree. Everybody knew that as soon as Luffy was done, Kaido was going to crush him. I swear everyone knew this going into the episode, we can see this meta-contextually, contextually in the narrative, and through the freaking episode title. All of this went to say, I would have preferred a more frightening or ominous track, but I could see the argument that the music was sporting Luffy determination. Regardless, that disconnect between what we all knew was going to happen and the tone of the episode made me cringe a little, it wasn't a good effect for me. |
| Damn dude, Luffy went mad mode and still couldn't beat a drunk Kaido.... that was intense... That remark at the ending though... "What kind of king did you say you'd be?" You little punk!" |
| Ah, I see what all the fuss is about, I can see it clear as day how the anime portrays that Luffy is able to do somewhat a little damage to Kaido while I know for sure that all Luffy was doing in the manga is just tickling Kaido before being one-shotted into fucking oblivion. Still, though I can't fault the anime trying to fill out the 2 minutes ep, ofc they want to show Luffy giving it all facing off Kaido, but alas, that's not the reality as it was in the manga. Despite that though I can't really complain, such a hype like action and goose-bump inducing OST. This ep is amazing! Kaido's Raimei Hakke and his 1 liner to Luffy after the fight was completely badass! A shame that their true difference in power is not completely pronounced in the anime. If I were to complain about something is the anime's overly used aura blast/layer. What the fuck is that besides a cheesy visual effect to make Luffy's rage look 'cooler'. If an anime-only took it seriously, they would mistake these visual effects as something like Luffy unconsciously covering himself with advanced-busoshoku Haki or maybe Luffy's haoshoku haki becoming Luffy's embodiment of rage and then shrouding him with itself. It's cool alright, but it's just an aspect of confusion and cheap aesthetics. Just wait until he actually can do something like that in some years. |

| Wasn't the very nature of Gear Fourth's Boundman that Luffy couldn't stand still even for a moment? How in the hell was he able to do so, then? FreshIngredient said: Luffy's rage aura thing felt out of place and tacky. xShaunShine said: Not a big fan of the whole "aura" thing ChMel said: Can somebody please inform TOEI that with their useless - non existent aura shit, they are just destroying the show? If I wanted to watch Dragonball, I WOULD WATCH DRAGONBALL. All these years following both the anime and the manga, I've learned to live with extended fights, added content of little significance, etc (which are needed for obvious reasons). BUT, suddenly, for the last 2 episodes, I find myself watching something that is NOT One Piece (due to the special effects during battle - I will not even mention the whole Luffy vs Kaido battle deviance from the manga - WHICH IS THE ACTUAL SCENARIO). mangalicker94 said: TheTexhnolyzed said: Is the red aura around Luffy haki? Most probably not. It's just to show luffy's flame of rage. I agree it may be cool, but it was used on the wrong place. It should have been something similar to the one we saw in the OP. For those who skip the openings I won't go further in details. :) BenRyan said: Why does luffy has a dbz aura. What is that even trying to show?

Ant161718 said: FMmatron said: Aside from the fact that the toughness of Kaidos skin wasn't highlighted this episode also undermined Kaido's speed.   Clean and simple, like a true boss. Sir, I have to certainly disagree with you. The anime is not the same as the manga. The way in that Oda developes story on a few pages and panels is fastest than some others shonen manga's. You should know that. The animation it's so much interesting and with so much action. If you just want to see the stuff same as manga, better just read the manga and don't see the anime instead of trow shit on every episode did with a so damn good animation as this. Because this quality show it doen't deserve it. Sorry for the big off-topic, but which anime is your gif profile pic from @Ant161718 ^^? |

No problem, it's from Akatsuki no Yona, if you enjoy historical romance with some fantasy stuff I highly recommended it to you. Also the manga is great!  |

| Luffy doing all that and it didn't even give him a scratch. What a beast. |
 |
| The last two eps were just Kaido getting beaten than being badass |
| The soundtrack is finally louder than the soundeffects for this episode for once, at least But what is that red aura around Luffy?? And he knew it wasn't over yet too! This whole time Kaido is left unscathed from Luffys attacks, it's like hes taking it all intentionally as if he was getting a massage or trying to sober up from it. And Luffy lost his teeth again .__. |
| 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 |
| Big Mom has her hunger pangs and Kaido has his drunken fits. Last episode felt like when Big Mom had her meltdown at the wedding - the only chance to catch Kaido off guard was before he sobered up. It was brutal seeing him one hit KO Luffy. Still, I do feel like the overwhelming might of the emperors is what makes them so profound. I can't even imagine what gear Luffy is going to have to get to in order to finally stand a chance against either one, much less Blackbeard or Akainu. Only thing that legitimately bothered me was Luffy standing on the ground in Gear Four. |
 |
| Luffy was beating the shit out of Kaido and all anyone could do was watch in disbelief but then Kaido one shotted Luffy with one attack and knocked him out so the power difference is insane |
 |
| if only luffy listened to law... |
| One strike, kill run or home run batter ! |
| On slowly decaying World's way... [বিলয়ের পথে...] |
