| I liked it because I love One Piece but I still have issues with it: -Why draw out one chapter and make it two episodes? It's not like Oda put so much information into the chapter that it had to be split. Milking this story is ridiculous if you ask me. -Luffy crying over Sabo was just too damn much. I mean I know it was an emotional scene but to draw out Luffy's cry just to fill time is weak. |

| Can't speak for anyone else but stories related to brother's death's always make me cry. Especially in anime even if I knew it was going to happen I always tear up. Otherwise they did a fine job. |
 |
| The second part was.. Fucking awesome.. |
 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. |
| Emotional episode, the next episode Sanji, Nami, Chopper and Brook are back! (+Momonosuke)! |
 |
| Predictable episode, if you watched the last one you knew this would happen and there was nothing else happening. |
| Ace still making me cry after all this time ;_; |
| Pretty good ep. next up |
 |
| This was really good Can't believe I'm almost caught up to OP!! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Really enjoyed the flashback of Sabo so this is why he couldn't come to rescue Ace really sad. Anyway hype for next ep ^^ |
 |
| I forgot about the vivre cards, another good episode on Sabo's backstory. |
 |
| Great episode. That brother trio is really something else. Also, Koala and Sabo are so cute. Seems we got a hint of a new character at the end there with whoever was turned into a bird/controlling the birds. Seems like we'll be seeing more of the revolutionary army from now on. |
| One of my favorite episodes of the arc (although I seem to be saying that a lot lately). That has to be one of the worst ways to mourn for someone you love. I know Luffy didn't succeed in saving Ace, but at least he did everything he possibly could. Sabo grew up without even knowing who his brothers were, and by the time he found out it was too late. I loved the extended reunion between Luffy and Sabo. It went that extra mile and packed an even bigger emotional punch. Tbh I was teary throughout the entire episode, but when Sabo turned up in front of Luffy, I full-on cried. It's so sad to think that Sabo and Ace didn't know each other were alive...although I think that just adds to the idea that Sabo exists now to carry on Ace's will. They can't fully exist in each other's worlds at the same time if they both essentially have the same purpose. That'd kinda be like Roger and Luffy being alive at the same time. I'm happy they didn't milk the emotional stuff by having Sabo turn up when Luffy was asleep. Nice touch. The parallels between him and Ace were beautiful too- strange that he said the exact same thing as he did back in Alabasta, except this time it was Sabo who took Luffy's vivre card. Although that's getting me a little worried that Luffy will eventually die (after becoming pirate king ofc). Ever since Sabo said he wants to be a writer, I've always thought he'd be the last of the brothers to survive & he'd write a book all about their adventures. ;-; I'm sad to see Sabo bowing out so soon, but no doubt he'll be back! Finally we get to see what the hell happened to Sanji's group!! |

| As much as I don’t find amnesia interesting, in the same vein as I dislike brainwashing or mind control as I feel it removes character nuance and character depth in terms of ambiguity and motivation, Sabo was definitely done well. This episode was all about it, showing us Sabo’s journey up until now, and we got a long and lingering scene when it came to the hurt Sabo felt. Only returning at the end of the war, he overheard about Ace’s death and when he looked at the newspaper it broke him down and returned all of his memories back to normal. We sat with him as he shook and gasped and weeped and remembered it all. When he realized he let his brother die and was not there for him. This is a horrible experience to have, one that could create so much guilt, even if amnesia makes it undeserved guilt. It makes sense why he thought Luffy would hit him the next time they met. Sabo visited Ace’s grave, got a favour to ensure he preserved Ace’s power, and when he saw Luffy we were able to see part of the scene which was cut off. Luffy was so happy to see Sabo, crying and nodding his head with the ‘uh-huh’ he did when he was crying over Sabo alongside Ace as they spoke of living with no regrets. It was one of those moments that Luffy’s vulnerable side was as obvious as ever. And with his heartbreaking line: “I let Ace get killed in front of me”, I think he was expecting to get a good punch too. But rather, the two were just utterly glad the other one was okay. Other lines like talking about stealing sake from Dadan, or “You think I can’t tell my brother’s face because he’s in disguise?” were full of love. Meanwhile when Sabo left and told everyone to take care of Luffy, Zoro laughing about how he’s so similar to Ace was nice. It made me think that, like Luffy’s brother is proud of him for having the friends he has, I think his friends are proud of Luffy’s brother too. With another vivre card, let’s hope this one doesn’t burn up. With that, Fujitora rolled a die to decide whether or not he would hunt Luffy down tonight. However, with how his introductory scene was Fujitora being so good at gambling that, despite being blind, he had to be cheated to contest, I’d wager we can assume this sneaky old man did that on purpose. His line about not grumbling after the die is rolled reminded me of a certain Akagi Shigeru. I’ve criticized Ace’s death before, I forget if I have in these posts, but despite it having such a strong presence in the moment, and the horrific and beautiful state of Luffy after the fact, I felt the only downside to his death was the permeance or lackthereof. To me, a series needs to account for the way a death will change the series if it goes long enough to follow the ramifications. And that’s where I’d hoped to see more. Luffy uses Ace’s power in Red Hawk and such, but I felt for the long term, Ace’s death mostly signified a power up in Luffy. Like he realized he needed to be stronger, he got stronger, and now he is nearly the same as he’s always been along with the lines about no one dying hitting kind of hard. I’d have liked to see more of a change in Luffy, be it his undying idealism crumbling a little or perhaps some more seriousness in how he goes about his actions. However, through Sabo we got what I wanted. Sabo’s life changed drastically in a way Luffy’s didn’t, Sabo didn’t already go through the loss of a brother; Ace was the first. The power and care to preserve it was another great carry over of the late and great Ace, seeing how much they still care about him. How he’s still carried with the both of them. So, this is ultimately me saying I like how Ace is still affecting the story. |
| MY FEELS ;A; They hit harder when Luffy cries than Sabo, but it's still sad Q~Q I'm glad the brothers got reunited <3 if only Ace got to see a grown Sabo :'( Would've been hilarious if Franky tightened a screw up near his eye and the tears rolled back up LMAO XDDD |
| LMFAO that was so like Luffy but seriously, though, it sorta ruined the reunion. This 2 last episodes explained why Sabo was absent until now but still didn't/doesn't change the fact that he's pretty much just Ace's replacement. Ace 2.0! Also didn't explain why Robin didn't tell Luffy about Sabo but I assume he told her not to I guess. Sabo: Luffy's friends are funny. Robin: You'll never get bored. Me: True, WHEN the FULL team is present AND focused on, if even one of them is missing the show becomes hella boring, looking at you Summit War saga and Dressrora arc. If this shit ever happen again I might drop One Piece, it's seriously not worth it without it's full main cast. |

| Another emotional episode, I'm glad we got to see Sabo's part of the flashback. Their bonds as brothers are too great 😭 |

| Sabo being cool and composed all the time must've had a big role in why I ended up tearing up a lot when he finally broke down upon finding out that Ace had died. Hell, the pledge between the three and his reunion with Luffy also got me crying somehow despite already watching it multiple times. |
 |
| So many emotions man... Can't help but cry. T_T |
 |
| That hug between sabo and luffy was so emotional :'( |
| Sabo's presence has been such a heart renderer. For the first half, I was tearing up as I relived the trauma of Marineford. In the second half, I was shedding tears of joy for the brotherhood that hasn't been severed even after being separated by entire seas, long years & dormant memories. The bond of the three brothers has had the most emotional payoff, by far. It was also nice to see how despite Zoro's nonchalant behavior, he's probably been paying the most attention to Luffy as his first mate. |
 |
| That was a nice goodbye from Sabo he said the same thing Ace said back in Alabasta |
 |
| this was nice. luffy will probably be disappointed he left so soon |
 |
| Wow, what a way to regain your memories.. poor Sabo ;-; I could definitely feel the emotion in the scene where he's reading the newspaper. |
 |
| Finally we got the reunion!! 😭 Damn the PAIN, i almost cried again. |
 |
| It's good to have Sabo back. |

| I’m really enjoying these cosy moments with the crew all resting up in this small cabin. The calm after the storm. It makes a nice change to the usual post war partying and banquets. |
| sabo recovering his memory made me tear up i genuinely thought when sabo said he needed to talk to dragon that he was gonna sock him for luffy the ost when luffy and sabo reunite gets me every time and the scene of him backing up and then stretching his arms to hug sabo was worth the wait hakuba chained up sent me |
| Very emotional moment with Sabo recovering his memories. But I’m so annoyed with Zoro. I thought he was going to show his conversation with dragon after getting the memories back. As good as this arc is. We really didn’t have much of dragon. Also wild to see him flying off on those talking birds. I just want to know so much more about the revolutionary army and dragon haha |
