| So many things got me this episode- -The moment between Dadan and Garp -Makino's reaction -Whitebeard & Ace's burial/graves -Luffy's tears But NOTHING got to me quite like that finger counting. God that was beautiful ;-; Next episode we get Zoro!! Yay, it's been a while! |

| When Dadan started beating Garp, it opened my wounds and I started crying all over again. It makes it the harder for me to believe that Ace is gone. Damn, it's like losing someone in real life. |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
| Damn, the feelings are too much for me. Luffy is in too much pain! Jinbe made him remember that he still has his nakama. |
 |
| I've come to really respect Dadan, that was sad as hell when she said Luffy was the one hurting the most... also, Makino doesn't age at all how old is she? |
| >Dadan beating up Garp I think I have something in my eye. |

| This episode was actually freaking beautiful. I cried nearly the entire time. Everything about it was amazing. Jimbei and Shanks both put it how it is, the thing I've picking up on for a long time, the series has shifted and became a series about Luffy learning that he fell behind the rest of the world. That the best he can do is run and barely get by. He learnt what it meant to keep people safe, to taste victory. He never doubted himself and always gave his all. But this arc was about striking down his confidence one strike at a time, all the way until he truly felt loss and futility. The amazing unstoppable Luffy turned into a child who refused to acknowledge he was in too deep. But, if he gets over this, this is when a man becomes a man, when one faces their own futility and moves on, as Shanks put it. Jimbei is a damn good friend. He refused to leave Luffy's side and even beat him down to make his head clear. He may have been losing this entire arc and lost the person most important to him and broken the pledge he made as a child for Sabo and may feel like the antithesis of what he tries to be, but he's not alone yet. Like Brook who lost everyone but fights for Laboon. Luffy has to carry on Sabo and Ace in spirit and fight for what he still has, his nakama. He's not alone, he still has a reason to fight!!! However, it may not be as easy as saying that, the friends he wants to see are so far away. I do see Luffy in time becoming strong from this though. As for the Dadan and Garp sequence, that made me sick. Garp, the guy who would scare Dadan into doing what he wanted, let her beat the living hell out of him. He didn't put up a hand. It's an act of atoning, its an act of taking what he thinks he deserves. He's hurt and he knows how hurt everyone else is too, because in the end he did choose his navy duty over his sons life. All he could do was sit with Ace and face it with him and now he'll gladly take all the beating he can if he helps make Dadan feel better. That whole scene was so hard to watch, Makino crying and Dadan calling out to Luffy. Marineford was truly a tragedy, Ace and Whitebeard have died, the world has changed, and everyone has to deal with the personal and broader consequences. The funeral was another fantastic scene. Shanks did take their bodies to pay respects and he did with some beautiful graves. The burned up jolly roger and their clothing on top to remember them by. Shanks is amazing, and I already touched on it but the monologue he gave to Luffy was incredible, it clearly shows he's been around this block too. In fact he mentioned just as Garp did, that Ace's death was the exact thing Roger would have done as well.. I don't think any anime arc has made me cry this much ever. And not just sadness and tears, this arc has been beautiful, disgusting, exciting, rage inducing, sickening, and at times felt incredibly empty. It did amazing things with old characters, introduced strong new ones, had a scale unlike anything else I've ever seen which was organically built to over 500 episodes, and started to give Luffy a serious character arc while exploring him in amazing new ways. Plus it broke formula as I've said countless times and solved that major nitpick I had with the series. Summit War's thematic prowess coming all the way from the end of Thriller Bark was incredible, and I have to say Impel Down and Marineford are two of my favorite arcs ever. I love Sabaody as well and Amazon Lily is nothing to scoff at. Wonderful stuff. Love you Oda!! |
| Ace's death had not hit me until now. Its probably because we got to bond with him when he was younger in the past few episodes but this episode had me bawling. Luffy reminding himself that he still has his nakama is beautiful. dadan and Garp's scenes really solidified that this is probably my favorite one piece episode. |
| I just love this episode. Luffy finally realizes things about himself and his crew. It was a really touchy episode. Tears were shed! |
| I found this episode a lot sadder than the one were Ace actually passed. Hopefully Luffy is now able to become stronger with this newfound inspiration! craaaap what an ep. |
    - ✼ - 👏 hyped for 2022 lockdown 👏 👏 all good things come in threes 👏 - - ✽ - - |
| This episode gave me an emotional beatdown. Shanks really called it when he said that it was okay to cry since it definitely felt like he wasn't just talking about Luffy. That part where Dadan beat up Garp over how he wasn't able to save Ace and Luffy already made me feel sad enough but Luffy's despair piling up and his friends giving him hope left me bawling. I'm really, really glad that he realized that he still has those precious to him even after his loss. |
 |
| I can't help but cry every time Luffy cries. |
 |
| It was so hard to watch depressed luffy crying and Garp getting beated by Dadan Finally we'll get to see more of the crew getting back together |
| This episode really got me, didn't expect such strong feels. |
 |
| The "Fight Together" opening hits real hard after seeing this episode. |
 |
| This was such a heartfelt break through. I think that having the Straw Hats split up for 100 episodes and mainly following Luffy makes it all the more powerful and greatly demonstrates that while Luffy has suffered tremendously, he still has something worth holding onto. |
 |
| Dadan W MOTHER!! That scene hit hard!! |
