| 3-4 minutes of ora ora ora Kong Gatling + 2-3 minutes of reaction still frame padding was the price to pay for 1017 lmao. We even had a flashback of Doffy's defeat xD They never let an opportunity like that slip. The endurance of the staff is as limited as Gear 4th, so fair enough. Hybrid form hype.. Btw, I heard we will get 4 special episodes for Film Red in July. So 4 more weeks of waiting before we get to the really juicy shit. @Trickieking live stream |

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| We got a pretty slow first half though, BUT! We got to hear the 3 CP0 Members! (who the F are they?!) I liked how they showed the shadow of Oden on Zoro's ENMA! The Tatsumaki was so epic!!! What are the CP0 PLANNING TO F DO?!?!? Guess I'll have to wait another weekπ One piece's the best! |

| How disappointing. I figured that the quality would drop in this episode since the budget for last week's episode must've been insane, but the animation quality here was worse than I had expected. In particular, CGI Kaido was especially ugly and is up there with some of the worst CGI I've seen in the series. Also did we really need 2 whole minutes of Luffy just pummeling Kaido and everyone making reaction faces? If they needed to pad things out (when don't they?) then they could've just extended other parts of the fight. But I guess Toei lacks creativity. The second half of the episode was kinda better... except that as usual Toei cut corners by showing some still images of the characters on the bottom floors of Onigashima instead of simply giving them proper animation. |
| yeah this episode is a skip |

The director for this episode, Kenichi Takeshita, is pretty new when it comes to directing One Piece episodes. An entire chapter was adapted yet for shorter chapters that are half action driven it's still not enough without a top tier storyboard. It doesn't sit well with me either that we can't have a streak of great flowing episodes, but it is what it is. And 1003 was the most expendable from the Roof Piece stuff+ fancy animation wasn't really needed during the CP0 conversation. This is what it takes to get banger episodes. In other news, you're probably delighted to hear that we will get the 4 special episodes. |

| Many can complain and say many things about this episode if they want too. But I am enjoying my self anyways. Been waiting too long for the action of Roof Piece to begin. A shadow of Kaido's Beast Human form was nicely done. Oh yeah. Dragon Twister vs Black Dragon Twister then Dragon Twister Demolishing Wind. Man that was nicely done. I thought the CGI for Kaido's Dragon was good. |
| Pretty bad cgi and a slow episode imo. But considering the quality of some of the recent episodes, it's expceted and I'm ok with it. That Kaido hybrid form is pretty hype though |
 ManWild |
| Toooo much recap, mid episode tbh not that I expected anything amazing after we just received some pretty hype episodes but still expected more, hopefully next episode is better. Also that kaido CGI was so gross- |
 |
| I was yelling take off his head like a mad woman. Once Luffy was done everyone, Zoro moved too slowly. The others definitely didn't do enough to get Big Mom out of the way. Cipher Pole certainly gets around. Soooo...we don't see Kaido's beast form next week and there are specials in July? |
dragynfaerieMay 21, 2022 9:09 PM
| Definitely a slower episode with okayish CGI, but considering what we got over the last couple weeks it was kinda expected. As spectacular as Luffy's king kong gatling looked you could see it had not really any effect on Kaido. Also with the knowledge of what happened to Gear 4th Luffy in the past obviously at some point he had to reach his limit. Gear 4th is incredible and increases Luffy's power level by such an enormous amount, but at the same time it costs way too much stamina and is therefor a way to heavy drawback. So far Luffy always had luck that someone was there to buy him time so he could use haki again. But imagine he was alone against Kaido? I hope he can come up with something new, so this doesn't happen in the future. At least my boy Zoro was able to show off again. It's crazy to think he's able to cut Kaido's skin which seems to be hard as steel. I'm still stumped about Cipher Pole 0's role in all of that. They seem super calm no matter the outcome. What's their incentive? I really want to know more about them. Oh boy, now Kaido went into his hybrid form. I guess it's the one we were already able to see in the OP right? Ngl I'm excited to see what he's capable of with his new form. Next week seems to show what happened to Tama in all that time the raid already started, so more of a side story/filler episode. |

| yeah that was some 7 deadly sins level shit |
Natsu88 said: I'm still stumped about Cipher Pole 0's role in all of that. They seem super calm no matter the outcome. What's their incentive? I really want to know more about them. They work for the World Government so no matter who wins the war on Onigashima, the WG would benefit if some of the top fighters get beaten or killed. Presumably they plan on capturing any of the pirates who lose the battles without having to do any of the fighting themselves. |
| You gotta be kidding me FMatron, four RED episodes?! I mean like come on, 1 or 2 I get, but 4? I hope they're at least interesting |

You're absolute right and after the war ends it would "normally" be the most likely/logcial thing for them to do. Knowing Oda I wonder if that's all to them, but in this case maybe I'm thinking too complicated. |

| Really bad pacing this episode. And a lot of re-used animation and buffering as well. I'm at least glad that this will all be cut out when I rewatch Wano on onepace. |
MAL EMOJIS - Get your specially formatted emojis for MAL forums.        |
| I think this is quite frankly the longest use of padding scenes of facial expression and static backgrounds that I have seen in this series lol. Wth!! Also get that terrible CGI out of my one piece. This upsets me because the content in this chapter could of amped up the production values with this episode to a real high level. Especially Kaido's natural disaster attacks. I am honestly appalled; they chose THIS episode and this CH to completely fart on us. Also, em I crazy or did i Just hear Luffy shout a tarzan call? Aside from that, at least in regard to the story, we finally get to see CP0 at wano and Kaido finally shifts into his Hybrid form. I pictured in my mind the dialoged exchange of the CP0 members and showcasing the worst generations steady progression would have like a killer background music track to help strengthen the triumph moment in this scene but all they did was literally "dead silence" no music at all and it felt so strange and bizarre. The scene did not feel important at all, i could fall asleep with how dreary it was conveyed in this episode. They did not even manage to do justice to the background scene of Kaido's Hybrid form as the god damn clouds were blocking his silluette. All they had to manage was 1 MORE EPISODE with semi consistent quality and they go back to there low budget crap in the next few episodes for all care. My god Next time the battle returns, I hope it will be directed by a more competent director. Who in the hell oversaw the production of this. This is probably the worst quality I have ever seen in one piece. |

| I'm the only one thinking if it's a canon one piece episode it's a banger |
 |
| Didn't like the Zoro yellow aura thingy. |
 |
| After seeing the episode again, I'm actually stumped that it was as slow as it was. Toei adapted a full chapter like they did last week, but in terms of plot it still seemed like not much happened. In the past I used to say that Toei should adapt 1 full chapter per episode more frequently, but this is one instance where they did exactly as I wanted, yet still produced an episode that's a 6/10 at best. Also Toei needs to stop hyping up Zoro so much. The constant auras are bad enough, but why did they show Zoro engulfed in flames due to Happy Mother's Blaze? In the manga he dodged the attack but the anime portrayed it differently in a way that makes it look like Zoro actually endured the flames, which makes him seem way more durable than he is and also makes Big Mom look like a joke yet again... |
| Bad start with Luffy doing gatling gun forever because pacing, but we got 1 entire chapter adapted so I'm not complaining. The rest of the pacing was ok, not bad animation but not good either. I was expecting this episode to not be as good as the previous one so I wasn't surprised, it was just very ok overall. Also I quite liked the cgi on Kaido's dragon form, and I'm not a fan of cgi in anime. |
| Well... it was a toned-down episode from all the epicness from previous episodes. But, it was fun. Looks like Kaido has been transformed. Can't wait to see him in action. Zoro was cool and Luffy is out for 10 minutes. |
 |
MegamiRem said: Didn't like the Zoro yellow aura thingy. Yeah, hat was bizarre. Just let him cut shit up with his swords. |
| I knew this episode wasn't going to be as good but I still felt underwhelmed. Luffy punching Kaidou went for too long and dragon CGI felt a little weird. |
 |
| Cgi Kaido was funny af, but after last episode it's understandable. Pacing felt slower than expected considering they adapted 1 chapter and the animation quality overall was average. Definitely far from terrible but also not good. |
 |
| this episode was so slow... :'( So hard to follow the story only via anime... The manga is a little slow by moment but the anime is very slow |
| Was this really One Piece? I never imaginez such a massive quality drop, the non-stop gattling, facial expressions and what more. Even Zoro's dragon twister was lacking everything. The first cut on Kaido by Zoro was just underwhelming. Well, it's understandable.. The latest few episodes probably took a huge toll on them but the outcome would have been better if they switched today's episode with the next one. |

VolKur said: @FMmatron is it me, or the tension in anime is more than manga. Plus Kids punk gibson looks amazing even though he is doing nothing right now. And it looks like next episode will have good animation. Ryosuke Tanaka deserves a better chapter to adapt, I think he should have directed this episode. Then again he never adapted/directe action chapter. Not in this episode. I was laughing my ass off @ Luffy trying to punch Kaido until he dies of boredom. @Ayu_01 can look forward to next week, it will be a Tama episode.

Yeah, Zoro is known to be fan favorite and the consequence is him sucking up all the badassery. The Happy Mothers Blaze was fine, it still looked ambiguous. They went the extra mile to put emphasis on the cut Zoro dealt to Kaido. |

VolKur said: @FMmatron I'm talking about last scene of the episode, kaido hybrid form. The background music matchs perfectly to that scene, and the tension in that scene & when CP-0 showing the stats was really there atleast for me. If I'm being truth I hated gatling and pacing, i really am not that disappointed in cgi. And I'm glad they didn't showed the aura when zoro attacked kaido, it was only shown when he was charging(whatever you wanna say that) his swords with haki. It was decent enough. Could've been better if I was a fan of the OST choices. As bad as the Kong Gatling was drawn out, Gear 4th theme π₯Ά |

| @Ayu_01 yeah ofcourse. And about Zoro's aura, oda literally gave zoro a dragon and aura around enma in manga as well.  |
| Could the hacker hack Toei again? At least like 1 year so they have time to animate? I wouldn't mind |

| I enjoyed the episode so much. The OSTs were fire too! |
| Now THIS! Is what you call a mistake! The horrid CGI, and pacing, along with flashbacks added. This makes 914&915 god tier episodes. Despite that this was not a good episode, i'm still going to vote "love it" anyway. For the sake of supporting this series. anyway.... Yamato episode screenshare of the week.   |

Ayu_01 said: @Fmmatron next week will be peak fiction. The saviour of this raid Tama will appear to end the war. Tama>>Shanks. It seems Toei is doing alt eps good bad combo. First the epsidoe started at 4.5 mins mark then 4 mins of luffy hitting kaido and that too mostly replays which is quite reductant.Again with the aura shit which is okay but then they consume 1 min for transformation and then dragging stuff at end. [/spoiler] I'm happy that OTama is getting relevance, she is way more likeable than Momonosuke. Well I could understand that Momonosuke stood up and took courage even as a kid. But I felt like he was underdeveloped. I assume this is Toei taking a hit from the Ransomeware hack, which had them to resort to rushing things out, like the CGI. Preferably I would want them to delay this, but this would affect the market, so... |
