| Raftel = Laugh tale.. I will call this One Piece is actually: & HE LAUGHED |
| Its not about being funny because its a joke like some people presume. Personally I think its something so unreachable with the current technology in their world, that they laughed hysterically at the fact that there is literally nothing they can do about it. A tale full of laughs, a journey of years of swashbuckling adventures only to come to an abrupt dead end. Which makes you think, just what in the hell is luffy going to do about it and what in gods name is the one piece treasure? My hunch is its something from a diff time period and with far more advanced technology that when pirates lay their eyes upon, they look at it as an alien object not from their world and are just clueless and dumbstruck. hence why they laugh. To put it into perspective, how would people from like the 1500's or early 16th century react to seeing an automobile car or an airplane Jet. They would probably think its something very alien like a spaceship visiting their planet. This is what I think one piece is. Its an ancient piece of technology that completly rivals the current piracy era. But I am deffinitly open to hear everyone's theories about this now that you get a little more of a hint about what it could potentually be. |

| At times like these it makes me happy that I continued with the anime and not switch to the manga. When Memories came on I teared up and was smiling like a idiot :') So Raftel was Laugh Tale all along... 「ラフテル」wonder if it was only oblivious to non Japanese speakers? |
| I had never expected that they would play "memories" here, but it fits so well, an iconic song for an iconic scene. |
| Truly the GOAT Genuinely feel bad to people who have not watched One Piece... |
 |
| Great episode and lovely song to end the episode. So good! |
| "He laughed" is one of the best panels in Wano arc and damn it was glorious in the anime. I can't wait to watch the whole Wano arc in full once it's completed. Beautiful! I saw this comment on reddit as well, I am hoping Oda on purpose made it ambiguous if it was gonna be Raftel or Laftale - Laugh Tale. just so he could be like yohoho u translated it to Raftel for 20 years but it was LAUGH TALE ALL A LONG surprise that they added One piece ENDING 1 when they got to laugh tale. The yohohoho in your comment is apt because the last line of Binks' Sake is "Tale of laughs/Funny story". And hence the Bink's Sake song before the moment! Brilliantly done. |

| Interesting to see how the Roger pirate crew came to the last island. Very interesting to see how Oda showed they completed the task without revealing any major spoilers about the last Island. We will probably not get any further information before they actually reach the island. Also, of course, they had to find a valid excuse for Shanks and Buggy to not go to Raftael (Laugh Tale). Great to see the extended moment between chibi Pedo and Roger. Very saddening knowing he sacrificed himself for the future Pirate King. I love how they gave us a nostalgic feeling with having the first ending and Brink's sake in the ep. |

alphazero4um said: Dude that song at the end felt so perfect. Like seriously wow. The song at the end is called Memories if anyone wants to know. Like dang. This felt like the perfect song because Roger reached the island he wanted to go to. Everything he has done and all he did. He became what he is called. I give you! Gol D. Roger! King of the Pirates. Conqueror of the Seas! The man who traveled around the world and the only man who made it far with his great crew! What a blast! X3 Back way back when One Piece had ending songs....this was the first one so it's kinda up there with We Are in terms of nostalgia. Perfect song to choose. This flashback arc has lived up to the hype around it. |
 |
| It felt like getting a glimpse of how it will be like when Luffy reaches Laugh Tale. Moreover, now it's confirmed in the anime that we will learn about the 100-Year Void, People of the D & The Ancient Weapons when Luffy reaches Laugh Tale! This episode was so beautiful that I even cried! |
| INCREDIBLE episode in terms of what we witnessed on it and how it was adapted from manga Rogers journey was just a fantastic thing to see if we saw very small part of it. The final island of Laugh tale was displayed beautifully along with that super nostalgic first ending song that I’m very very glad isn’t forgotten by creators since it gets more and more nostalgic hearing it as time goes by. Now it seems that we will see how Oden’s journey continues till its conclusion Thank you again Toei for just not letting us down and making many viewers easter even better |

The director in paticular of the anime and specific voice actors will be present to Co host a special life stream from TOEI and funimation with my community. How ever I am not allowed to talk about what they are doing, but the upcoming episodes are going to be very nice, so prepare your self. |

| A very beautiful episode! The sequence Binks no Sake and first ending Memories is INSANE! |
lo-fi-weirdo said: is it just me, or does roger's crew really seem a bit... "normal"? hm? What do you mean by that? |
 |
lo-fi-weirdo said: They just look so ordinary, like they are background characters. The first member of the crew we learn about is Rayleigh, and he is the vice captain, of course he will be outstanding. Buggy and shanks aren't really strong by then, but shanks had haoshoku, i believe at that time he didnt know it yet, but then we learn about nekomamushi and inuarashi, that might be as strong as jinbei (i'm comparing them with jinbei because i think they are from the same generation). And at last comes Oden, a guy that we learn, right before the flashback, that he posseses haoshoku. 4 guys already on the crew already have it, and the other look so normal. They don't have unique desings that make them look "badass", they don't have devil fruits powers, they don't have legendary weapons. The first time we had a glimpse of new wolrd, it was during the war of the best, and the random characters of this arc, reminded me a bit of roger's crew. Idk, OP's relevant characters always have something that might make them look special, at least i believe so, and the crew didn't seem like the strongest pirate crew that ever lived This is not the studio's doing, ODA him self drew the characters as sort of stand-in background characters because they are formally not introduced yet or presented in the story at this time.This is not something new with one piece though its happened quite a few times. Oda likes to present characters with minimalistic designs untill he is ready to fully draw them out with more distinct features and abstract models. Many of the NW characters were given this same treatment during pre-time skip until they really became a larger part of the stories. Look at big Mom's first appearence for example, or many of the warlords like Doflimingo, or even blackbeard and his crew and Marco or Diamond Jozu. Alot of characters in one piece, until they are actually more relevent to current story arcs, are delogated to generic designs that kind of just blend in the background. |

| My god what an incredible episode. Oden finally made it back to Wano even if it was just for a few hours to get the copy of the Ponegliff. At this point in time, Wano was already undergoing a major change. So that was definitely one of the toughest decisions Oden had to make so far. But like he said, if he stayed at Wano he most likely wouldn't have continued his journey with Roger. Oh man seeing Pedro again made me sad, even if I really love that moment between him and Roger. Poor Buggy. By far the worst moment to get a cold and not being able to travel to the last island. But respect to Shanks who stayed with him on land. The smile of Whitebeard when he read that his friend and rival Roger finally became the pirate king. Even if I have no clue what exactly Roger and his crew saw it was such a beautiful ending where everyone laughed so much that they had to cry. It's also crazy when you think that the Roger pirates are the first to make it to this island in 800 years. I'm glad they didn't show anything about what Joy Boy left behind, but it surely is something very special. I always thought this island was just called Raftel but what an incredible idea to name it Laugh Tale. I guess we all know what is about to happen next and tbh I'm not ready for it. |

| Perfect episode! |
| >_< |
| Yes I WILL cry everytime they play Memories. That was such a good ED and I'm happy that they bring it back for the crying moments. Loved the Laugh Tale thing at the end. |
Miglota said: I expected a more bumpy road for Roger on the way to their destination. Now he literally cruised without any difficulties through all poneglyphs. Meanwhile, straw hats have fight through all times. Roger already pretty much traveled most of the world the first. This is actually his 2nd voyage with ODEN in which he finally manated to obtain the map to Laugh Tale. But he had already visiting many locations before that is why characters new him already from fishman island and water 7, etc. Luffy is still on his first voyage. So there is quite a great deal difference. |

So there is quite a great deal difference. Exactly lol I feel people don't understand this though. Roger's first time adventures and his meeting with ROX as his ultimate Rival, the events at God Valley, his first encounter with Whitebeard, how he obtained shanks and buggy, etc. This is all part of ANOTHER STORY taking place in a different time. What we saw this time is after he already explored the world and made it to ROGUE STAR the final island the log pose pointed to. He was at a dead and so thus his 2nd voyage began again to create a MAP to laugh tale. What you are seeing here in this flashback story is his 2nd voyage after reaching the end of the log pose. So many locations he already been quite familiear with so it wasn't a case of exlporing and solving what ever conflicts that may arrise during these visits because he had already done that, he became a hero in their eyes. This is most likely going to happen with Luffy as well. He will travel to the END of the log pose, find out that its a dead end and discover a way to one piece and maybe have to revisit locations again. As for the heroic tales of Rogers first adventures, well you will just have to wait for that because Gol D. Roger story in one piece is far from over. |

Biisoo said: This was one of the best episodes even among this entire flashback which Toei has nailed exceptionally. They actually played an old ending theme (which is a first in one piece I think unless I'm mistaken) They also played the same song during the duel of Sanji and Luffy. That was also one of the best One Piece moments ever. In the manga I didn't think too much of it, but seeing it animated with that music destroyed my soul I stopped reading the manga and I'm going to be an anime only once again. It's truly the best way to experience this story. Tho the only problem is that eventually when this masterpiece comes to an end and the One Piece is revealed it's going to be literally impossible to avoid spoilers as an anime only, since there's going to be a huge gap on when the manga ends and when the anime ends.... |

They are just getting into Dressrosa currently. All the secrets of OP will be finished and they will probably just start entering Wano arc |

Neji said: Quick question. I have not been watching episodes since I like to watch full arcs in one go or at least when most of the arc is done. Can anyone please clarify where we are on this arc, as in what percentage has been completed. Thank you. The arc hasn't finished yet even in the manga, so it's hard to say how far into it are we. But it looks like that the manga is 2/3 finished, unless there is some plot twist that will end it sooner. And that would put anime at a halfway point more or less maybe. Sorry mate, this is shaping up to be the longest arc in the manga history, so buckle up for at least 2 years of waiting. |

You might know this but the wano arc is separated into acts/parts and we're on act 3 so we're a pretty decent amount in already |

| One hell of an episode! So Raftel was Laugh Tale the whole time? Wonder what it'll mean!! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Taking into account how well this flashback was handled so far, my expectations were still exceeded. Thank you Toei <3 |
