| That was really good! Was expecting the betrayal but not such quick death, kinda wanted to see Orochi suffer tbh. The new OST is a banger, last few mins were pretty hype! |
tookthisusername said: omfg they're gonna go for one piece!!!! I was really happy for death of orochi Yamato looked so cool while she was angry The visuals of the fight tho ♡(*>ω<)ω<*♡ The fact that Yamato is strong as she applies anger with it, went WHOOSH! for me! You don't even see that with other female characters like Nami, Robin and the others. She is for sure a fun character to watch, and I REALLY REALLY want her to join the crew. Also I had been posting after every last post of yours for about maybe in the past over 100-200 episode discussions of One Piece o.o, I finally caught back up. |

KingBaller06 said: EVEN MORE BADASSERY! THIS EPISODE FOCUSED PRIMARILY ON THE FIGHT BETWEEN KIKUNOJO AND KANJURO, BUT FIRST LET'S GO OVER A LITTLE OF WHAT HAPPENED BEFORE. Kaido and Big Mom announced their alliance and that they are going to gather the Ancient Weapons, that being Pluton (the one that Franky held the plans for a burned at Enies Lobby), Poseidon and Uranus and create chaos. Their objective is to obtain the One Piece, which obviously isn't going to happen because Luffy exists. Speaking of Luffy, when he saw that Momonosuke was in danger he immediately went running and told Yamato to show him the way. Now we get to Kiku vs Kanjuro. This wasn't just any fight. This fight not only had Kiku physically battle Kanjuro, but showcased the different aspects of Kanjuro's life such as the stage in which he likes to perfrom and when he was with Oden and acting like one of the Akazaya. This showcased that his life has always been dedicated to the Kurozumi clan. Kiku had to battle within himself to understand that the Kanjuro she knew was a fraud, and that his life was a symbolic representation of the performance stage. The symbolism and the seemlessly transition between the battle and looking at Kanjuro was pure excellence and BADASSERY. JUST BADASSERY OH MY GOD. Once Kikunojo finished off Kanjuro, Kin'emon and Denjiro came up and all of them took a moment to cry and honor the old Kanjuro before heading off into the major battle against Kaido. Kaido BTW decapitated Orochi and has decided to reform the Land of Wano. He wants to call it New Onigashima, make the people of the Flower Captial produce weapons, and make Yamato the Shogun. Yamato obviously go mad at hearing this and decided to make a shortcut with Luffy by smashing through the walls like some badasses. I'm excited to see Luffy in the action more! I'm glad you're very enthusiastic talking about this episode ! So with respect I will dig in as well! So Orochi went against the decision of turning Wano Kuni into a lawless weapons factory, as he Orochi wants Wano Kuni for his selfish reason. But now that Orochi got beheaded, i'm sure that Kanjuro had the same belief and mindset as Orochi did, which raises the question, what IF Kanjuro found out about Orochi getting killed by Kaido along with his plan? But thats if Kanjuro managed to survive Okikus attack or not. I believe that at that point it would not matter anymore about feeling the threat from other clans, as Kaido will be the biggest threat here. He is the one that will further change Wano Kuni forever, with his idea of turning it to New Onigashima ! |

BonkyTrollDoll said: link9us said: It wasn't really horror, it was a very tense moment in the room, Kaido literally cut off Orochi's Head and he also announced along with big mom that they are going after the One piece. Either way it was a big development in the story to. Its the first time you have heard that these emperors want to pursue the legendary treasure and the ancient weapons as one of their main goals. So the studio deffinitly felt the need to emphasize the importance of the scene and there is nothing wrong with that. link9us, I absolutely see your point. In a way, your right. I'm kind of overstating the whole thing. But what I was referring to was the decapitation of Orochi, not the announcement of the "Alliance". Everyone got the "Red Horror" look when he chopped off Orochi's head. I think it was too much putting a "horror" filter over the heroes. Orochi's loyal vassals, yeah, maybe. But I think we're too far into this whole story for our heroes to be RED SHADED SHOCKED by Kaido's betrayal. I think a "wide-eyed black and white pupil" shock could have done it better. The whole Dario Argento "RED HORROR" could have been saved for the Alliance announcement. Like I said, I overstate things. Kaido basically has been using Orochi this whole time for his own benefit, He and his troops did get ton of sake and food, and made long range cannon weapons, and other weapons we aren't aware of (i'm for sure they have more). So Orochi did all the dirty work that Kaido didn't want to do, like testing out the smiles. I think this shows how ruthless and fearsome Kaido is ! |

| My God dude, the next episode is going to be yet another legendary OP episode. |
| I wish they could just settle for an animation style ... the style of the last few episodes is just all over the place and does everything and nothing ... Also why the "WHAT" faces lol, everybody could see clearly that Orochi would be cut down, not Momo. But I'm wondering what's he's waiting for to cut him ... Kanjuro fight was probably the most boring thing I've seen in the last few months in anime |
 |
| First half was okay, though kinda predictable. Second half was incredibly boring, who gives a shit about Kanjuro? |
| Kanjuro and Orochi going down....yeah some shocking moments to be sure. And you want to piss Luffy off, say you are claiming the One Piece. |
 |
| Nice episode, so glad Orochi is ded |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| I wonder if Orochi is really dead? IIRC Orochi had the hydra fruit and hydras have the ability to regrow their heads. He wasn't in his hydra form though so maybe he did die. I kind of wanted to see him suffer. His dead was way too quick. |
| This episode wasn’t bad, very interesting. I cannot be sure if Orochi and Kanjuro are completely dead and out of the game, but they were defeated, I’m glad that Kaido attacked Orochi like that, like nothing. Yamato reacting to her father is hilarious. |
 |
| Finally he's dead, I'm surprised Kaido put up with him for this long honestly. He deserved to suffer way more than just a quick death though. I do wonder if he's really dead as it did seem a bit too sudden, on the other hand maybe that was all he deserved. |
 |
| rip shogun orochi, I actually liked the guy, too bad we didn't see him in action, that fruit was wasted on him and it looked like a cool power |
    |
| Damn I felt dat. To cut down a ally and a traitor that has done horrendous shit.. but damn the memories were real god damn it. |
 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. |
| Lol I don't buy that shit one bit. Doesn't Orochi have that power to transform into a hydra? Cut off one head two more grow in its place kinda shit right? They haven't really touched the topic of his devil fruit powers yet and I'm sure they will when he comes back to life. And I've actually been wondering why Kaido would be working with someone like Orochi like they're partners. He could've killed him way before. And Kanjuro? Probably also still alive. |
 |
| Wow, that is unexpected. Kaido just did a coup. I was expecting Orochi to remain as his vassal forever. Now there's a chance those Wano ninjas and many of Orochi's retainers will defect to the Akazaya side. United against a common enemy. Hopefully. Damn, so many top tier waifus this arc. First Hiyori, then Black Maria and Ulti, and now Yamato. She's such a lovely sight and she likes showing off those pits and side boobs. I wonder how Sanji would react to Luffy getting another waifu while he still has zero, unless that daughter of Big Mom is still in love with him. lol Poor Kanjuro. He's also a victim. RIP. |
| Not feeling the show, I know that Oda can't put blood on the hands of the good guy main characters but the death of Orochi is sooooo anti climactic. Sad. |
| "Life is too bitter, so coffee, at least should be sweet..." - Hikigaya Hachiman (Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Come wa Machigatte Iru) |
| Kanjuro's demise was excellent. Kaido's and Big Moms announcement showed us that the end game really is in sight the One Piece is no longer just a dream for people its being pursued. Great episode |
| Yeah...first good thing Kaido has done. I actually clapped - he literally cut the head off the snake (though how many more remain?). Say what you want about Kaido, he's the epitome of a conqueror and doesn't share power with worms. Obviously his goal is extremely nefarious and will lead to seismic devastation, but I had to respect him when he asserted his will over Orochi's subordinates and gave them 5 seconds to pick a side. Though the horrifying part of that ordeal was seeing Momo imagining himself in Orochi's place and near breaking down. Boy, Kanjuro was truly rotten to the core. It is fascinating to see the inner workings of his psyche though. He must have always imagined himself on a stage with a grand audience watching his every move through all of those years, cheering him on through each performance. It's a shame that he felt nothing for his fellow Akazaya samurai, but it makes his treachery sting even more profoundly. The quietly building snowfall as the rest gathered & Kiku's lamentation of those memories really hit tt all home. |
 |
| That was a painful moment for everyone Kanjuro grew up with them and his betrayal was definitely a top 10 anime betrayals of all time and Kaido Killed Orochi so quickly That it took couple seconds to process what he did I wanted Orochi to get killed by Kinemon while all the Akayaza members watch him die |
 |
| WHY DIDN'T YOU BREAK THE CHAINS, LUFFY?! Very obvious Orochi death by Kaido. Kinda surprised they didn't use this monster form more. Wish they leaned more into Kurozumi backstory to make it little more morally grey. I'm mixed on Kanjuro and Akazaya Nine group. They did a great job building/showing their bond, but the actual betrayal didn't felt as impactful. |
