| Zoro back at it with the spotlight (even though i'm not a fan of him) RAIMEI HAKKE!! One could not imagine getting hit by that, especially being a DOUBLE kill from it. |
| 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 |
| Yeah I wasn't a fan of how Toei made Big Mom actually fall into the sea since that contradicts the manga. The worst part was that Prometheus dove into the water even though he's literally a ball of fire, so he shouldn't have been able to do that, never mind that he's made from a Devil Fruit power also and would therefore weaken inside sea water, anyways. Some other parts dragged on for too long as well, but at least Kaido vs Zoro was mostly good, especially Kaido's scar spurting blood. But as usual in Wano fights, we had to deal with more bullshit DBZ auras. Enough is enough, Toei. |
| Woro, just Woro. Only he's so badass while failing to bring his opponent down. But yeah, Toei went all out with adding some questionable original content again 😂 |

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Solid episode, covered most of chapter 1010 which is good. The stuff with Big Mom dragged on for a bit. Also I'm not sure if she actually fell in the water (didn't happen in the manga), and it doesn't make sense that Prometheus would be able to go underwater. But anyways, the highlight of this chapter was Zoro's Dead Man's Game!! Animation was on point. Next episode should be good. |
 |
| As always the pacing was too trash to enjoy the episode |
| Quite a mixed episode. There wasn't too much going on in the first half besides Big Mom falling into the sea. Also kinda weird to see Prometeus go in there and rescuing her without any consequences. However, seems like this was finally the time for Prometeus to stab Zeus in the back, even if asking for a replacement....excuse me, I mean girlfriend, wasn't anything I expected at all lol. I'm already curious what "female" Zeus will look like. The second half was a dream for every Zoro fan. The animation looked insane and they really did justice to Zoro's ashura technique. Kaido didn't fall, but there aren't many people who can say they gave Kaido a wound/scar and made him bleed. So far we never heard or got a confirmation if Zoro has conquerors haki, but Kaido surely wouldn't say this for nothing. That's crazy. Hopefully Zoro will learn to use of it in the future. Luffy finally finished his nap after Kaido stomped him into the ground and so we're heading into the next round between them. With how much Zoro already invested into this fight, it's hard to tell if we'll get any more of him, even if I really wish for it. Law took a beating too, but he should still be in okayish shape. |
 |
| First half of the episode dragged on and on, take a shot every time you hear the word "Mama" lol. Second half was great because Zoro, he's always great. His Asura technique looked dope and now Luffy is back on his feet. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |

Because it does not fit their characters nor are they authentic to the series at all, very uninspiring, pretty much like copying other peoples homework to try to make it look as "pleasing" to the teachers. But in reality feels so sudden and unnatural. |

| From the previous episode, we all knew this episode was hype with Zoro being THE Zoro. It was a great episode, but after for some overuse of flashbacks, it was great. We also had tons of Sakuga. Nothing really happened in the first half, with some anime original stuff, and the second half was where it's at, with Zoro getting the sakuga treatment he deserves. Zoro just being Zoro. Nothing happened  The Sakuga  HE SAID THE THING!! Lol  |

Graduated High School in May of 2022. Summer vacation has finally arrived. I have once again regained the power of a new anime fan, being able to watch multiple anime episodes in a day. Time to binge-watch every single anime I can into the night until college arrives. SADGE. SUPER SADGE... College has begun as of Monday, August 30, 2022, so you won't be seeing me much around these parks. See you on weekends, I guess... School me is back. Sigh! I'll at least try for one anime a day with all this course load. |
| terrible episode ngl, except for ashura, the whole episode was pretty much filler. i feel like they got the staff of the worst dressrosa episodes back and gave them a little more budget lmao but can't complain too much i guess because of the constant high quality episodes we have been getting, and also the anime getting closer to the manga due to the break. one thing we can all be happy about is that after next week, there will be a 3 week filler arc related to film red so we can expect atleast a little better after that. i only wish they didn't butcher such an important chapter like this tho |
| We finally reached the pinnacle of nonsensical of Wano arc. When Zoro did the same thing to Kaido with Broken Bones striking him with Asura which are both nonsense moments in both series FT & OP No double standards. But People are free to Defend Wano I rather stay a unbaised fan of One Piece & Fairy Tail that is aware of their flaws Also Did they seriously change the line from chapter 1010??? lol from (That guy... I wouldn´t be surprised if he broke every bone of his body after their last attack ) Law is refering to Kaido and Big Mom´s combined attack in the previous episode to (He could´ve had every bone in his body shattered from that ) One Piece Anime does a good job hiding it´s flaws. rant is over Anime made the fight look cool though.. Waiting to see Robin´s fight!!!!! |
Kaido813 said: you do know that oda was inspired by dragon ball z right so, of course, he was going to copy it's nothing wrong with it I think it's kinda cool but you are right it doesn't fit their fights but it brings a new feeling to it. Oda barely uses that aesthetic gimmick in the manga though, and on the very rare occasions where he does it's only been during very dramatic fight scenes where it makes logical sense, such as clashes involving Conqueror's Haki. ~90% of the time it's Toei who is deciding to use those aura effects to make the fights more intense in the anime. It's not like Oda told Toei to start adding DBZ auras to the anime in every other episode, because why the hell would he even care about that all of a sudden in Wano? And on another topic, I'm so tired of Zoro. I had to deal with him in the manga but the anime somehow makes his character so much more tedious. |

Yeah, the art style from animation to paper is very different. I hate the auras thing. It is not DBZ. |
| damn Law's ass got kicked lol loved the episode <3 |
| Episode was great.. Zoro carried it with his climax move and his animation! Toei nailed it but with pacing? Nah chief.. Idk about that one last episode's was great pacing but they reverted literally.. Also, I heard there's gonna be a 2 eps filler about film red Its a filler but its now a must watch! Latest chapter confirmed that Uta is canonically shanks adopted daughter Next episode gonna be great! Slippers vs Bat 👌 |
| Three headed 6 armed Zorro. 'nuff said |
| What an episode. That Zoro sequence was fucking fire. Kaido got cut but still stands tall. |
 |
| A fire goes into the ocean, and comes out still burning. Then there's a flashback to it ... in the same ep. |
 |
| So this is what the director meant by Leveling Up the animation. Just add more aura effects lol. Serously? "Were going to level up", Get it? straight out of DBZ's ass i suppose. I can't imagine what THAT scene is going to look like now if its this crazy already. |
  |
| Damn, Zoro’s tenacity is to be feared. I really hope it won’t keep getting dragged on like this though, there’s just no way he can handle more than this xD. New Ashura move, that was quite something! Just enough time for Luffy to recover, and he seems awfully calm right now. Zoro managed a scar, so he’ll have to at least do better than that now. And lol, I agree with many above, Promethius diving into the water and coming out unscathed was both baffling and hilarious. Next episode should be fire! Is it really the end? Man, I can’t wait! And also, this arc has been a little too long, lol. |

| I don't know why Toei added Big mom falling in the water but I'm certainly not complaining. Overall a decent episode with Zoro busting his chops and showing the level of his mental fortitude. Luffy is back from his unconscious state once again but the odds are stacked against him and the probability of him getting pummelled again is at an all-time high. |

| Zoro is just the best. I can't wait to see Kaido fall already! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| the return of the 9 sword style Ashura of Zoro ^^ really beautiful, Zoro was really badass like always |
| The first half of the episode was once again full of flashbacks and stuff like that which wasn't really important at all. The second part is back to Big Mom/Kaido vs The Worst Generation where Luffy got shit on and the rest had to survive on their own. Kicking Big Mom off the island felt odd for some reason and easilly Promth. just jumping into the sea was even more "what the fuck?". Eh, it's probably anime original content. Zoro's nine-sword style hyped me up last weekend and it didn't miss for sure. Maybe a bit though due to the overuse of the aura around them. I don't have anything against it, I love it actually but it clearly doesn't fit One Piece characters nor the fights unless it's like showing off eg. observation haki atc. You barely managed to see the technique because of the aura. Also, it felt so underwhelming for some reason. Expected much more but it's just the same as the tornado technique. Still don't know the purpose of the purple aura if they're just going to use yellow for the rest but aside from that, it's an alright episode. Also, Luffy's dialogue in the end gave me some chills, man never give ups and the next episode looks pretty good. |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| Imagine if Zoro coordinated that attack with Law they could've done way more damage to Kaido. That's still very badass though goddamn. |
 |
| The first half was boring but the rest was amazing Zoro was so freaking cool Also luffy at the end was so cool too |
 |
| Leave it to Toei to ruin chapter 1010’s adaptation. Split the chapter into half and make the first half of the episode terribly paced filler. |
 |
| Was a great episode, but the flash backs are killing me. Was bad enough when they flashed back to Zoro blocking that attack, I was thinking that was only like 2 or 3 episodes ago we don't need a flashback to it, but then they flash back to big mom falling which happened in the same episode which is just unacceptable in my opinion. I know they have to drag things out so they don't catch up to the manga, but its such a lazy way of doing it. |
 |
| Bad pacing aside, I'm genuinely wondering what's up with Toei's writing/direction decisions in Wano, because in this episode: 1.They nerfed Law's Injection Shot. In the manga, Law's attack made Kaido spit blood and he got irritated with Law's devil fruit power while in the anime...none of that happens. Law hits him with Injection Shot and Kaido doesn't bleed nor get irritated with Law. Wtf Toei? 2.They made Big Mom fall into the water in this episode even though I don't remember this happening in the manga. 3.They made Prometheus (a goddamn fireball) go into the water, swimming to Big Mom to save her, which also never happend in the manga. 4.They made Zoro reflect several of Kaido's club hits and his Ashura attack had Kaido bleeding massively (spraying blood type of beat), both are things which also never happend in the manga. The entire Ashura scene was made so spectacular in the anime even though Zoro couldn't even knock Kaido down and his attack left Kaido with a small scar, but somehow, the anime changed it so that his little scar on Kaido had Kaido bleeding severely, while Oden's scar on Kaido which is much bigger and had Kaido fall to the ground, only had Kaido bleeding a little? Toei is not even trying to hide to what characters they're bias to. First they made Zoro block Kaido and Big Mom's attack for a minute, and now they made Zoro's attack on Kaido so spectacular as if he severely injured him, even though Kaido pretty much tanked Zoro's attack in the manga and only bleed a little, not a damn liter amount of blood. How Toei depicted Oden's wound on Kaido: How Toei depicted the wound which the Scabbards gave to Kaido: How Toei depicted Zoro's wound on Kaido: How is it that Oden's Togen Totsuka (which is stronger than Zoro's Ashura and the Scabbards version of Togen Totsuka), was potrayed in the anime as the least impressive of those attacks? Toei even made Kaido in the anime bleed a ton amount of blood after the Scabbards hit him with Togen Totsuka even though they couldn't even open up the scar which Oden gave Kaido, while the massive scar which Oden gave Kaido was instantly healed and only bleeding a little. And now Zoro's Ashura which left Kaido with a small scar, had Kaido spraying tons of blood in the anime. Since when does a small scar bleed liters amount of blood, but a massive scar instantly heals? Where is Toei's logic in that? They censored the damage that Oden's attack did to Kaido, but overexaggerated what the Scabbards and Zoro did to Kaido. I'm so confused. What makes this mad funny tho is that because of how Toei changed it like that, what Kaido said to the Scabbards makes no sense now.  He claims that the Scabbards are not strong enough to even open up the scar with Oden gave him, but Toei made the Scabbards injure Kaido more than Oden did, so none of this even makes any sense lmao. They fked the entire Powerscaling up because of how badly they adapted these fights. (Oden vs Kaido for example. They censored the damage which Oden did to Kaido, made Kaido get back up immediately after Oden's attack even though he was still lying on the ground in the manga before the distraction happend, and Oden was going for the finishing blow. Oden and Kaido never dashed at each other for a final clash in the manga. Kaido was done for after Oden's attack). Fyi: Oden's attack left Kaido's entire chest covered with blood in the manga. The combined attack of 4 of the Scabbards had Kaido bleeding, although not that much. Same goes for Zoro's attack, only a little blood, nowhere as much as Oden's attack. And yet, Toei decided to have Kaido instantly heal the massive scar which Oden gave him, but then had Kaido spray blood after Zoro's attack, which is supposed to be much weaker than Oden's attack. I'm genuinely wondering why Toei decided to change it like that. Is there some bias for Zoro going on, or...? Extra: Zoro turned into a beyblade/fidget spinner in this episode...for whatever reason. And I won't even be going into the whole aura shit since I know Toei is just doing whatever they want with the One Piece anime at this point so I guess Zoro has yellow aura around him because he secretly turned into a Super Saiyan. And his eye turns red because he secretly has a Sharingan. It's just bad. At least the next episode looks clean, going by the preview, so there's that. |

| I thought that Big Mom falling to the sea was gonna make them breath, I wasn’t counting that fucking Prometheus can go underwater, despite his powers come from a devil fruit too. Zeus was trapped, but who cares, let him go with Nami. Zoro is in a completely different level, I wasn’t expecting that, Kaidou also hinted that he has conqueror’s haki. Animation on point. |
