| Give this a solid 9/10. The fights could have been longer and more epic but that was my only gripe but it was a small gripe. Robin~Chwann at 18...*nosebleed* Loved Zephyr as a character and so I really wish this story was canon. Maybe we'll find out who this mystery Warlord is in the future. |
 |
| 8/10 - A lot of good stuff Zephyr / Z was a really well fleshed out character, and it really gave the entire story purpose. 18yo Robin FTW Hmmm, I wonder if that girl with the regression powers kept touching Brook (oolala), would he eventually get his flesh back. |

| child nami<333, best One piece movie |
 |
| It was awesome but the animation quality is not as good as Strong World but the action surpass it. |
| Eh, this movie really lacked for me. Visually it was nice, especially with how lazy the art in the show has been lately, but the story was pretty weak. It was good as a mindless showing of One Piece characters doing their thing, but Strong World felt better. |
| I have to say I wasn't wowed by the movie. It wasn't terrible, by any means, it just wasn't great, either. ^^; High points for me: - child!Nami was pretty damn cute! - tiny!Chopper was even more adorable than regular size Chopper. :3 Especially with his jumping about to get in the camera shot. *lol* - The onsen scene. :3 Fanservice, and Aoikiji's wounds - Zoro and Sanji's fights (but I would have liked to have seen more, tbh) - Luffy winning by hitting Z in the groin. >_< (at least I'm pretty sure that's what happened. Correct me if I'm wrong?) - The animation was nice. :3 What I would like to know... I thought Z said, on the 3rd island, that the explosion had already started, just as Luffy shows up. So why did it not happen? Aokiji's ice? Why didn't he do that earlier, then, on the 2nd island? He was there watching that, too, iirc. Maybe it was poor translation, or maybe I'm just remembering it wrong. I'll have to watch it again sometime, maybe. And a little denouement would have been nice. More than the crew sailing away and the others weeping at the monument. It just felt very abrupt. "We showed the fight, no more to see here, keep moving, keep moving!" |
 |
| Zephyr!! You're the man!! Respect! |
| Loved every bit of it! Truly! But I kind of feel that I like Strong World storyline better! But here, it's really for fan, just how many time I put a big smile on my face! And again, I fell in love with the Ocean Song! |
| This was my first OP film after just recently catching up with the manga. I have to say I am blown away. Seriously can't wait for a dvd release. |
| Is it just me but it seems that this one seems a little serious. The fights are great but my favorite is still Strong world :) But nice Opening! Really done well. |
| I'm glad that it's not only me who thought that Strong World was better! I didn't hate this movie! i really enjoy it very much but it lost something? the moment when they inter Shiki's place was EPIC in strong world!! there was no moment like this in this movie. but anyway I really Loved "Z" i'm sad he died ;; and i really loved how he use his nickname like the one he use when he was kid but it's sill sad ;; Ain was awesome too! hope i can see more of her too ~ |
| It was alright. |

| Why do people read the Manga of this? It's just a big "FUCKING SPOILER" you can never fully enjoy the anime. |

| Anime and manga are two different experiences and it's really quite easy to enjoy both. Also this movie was pretty damn awesome. |
 |
| Can somebody explain to me how it makes sense that Luffy managed to defeat a former Admiral no less? Is this movie saying that he can basically defeat someone like Kizaru at this point? I don't buy it. This movie's good, but much like Strong World, it's overrated. Besides, I felt that characters were out of character in some moments.. |

Besides, I felt that characters were out of character in some moments.. Z is already old and wasn't exactly healthy. He isn't Admiral level anymore IMO. Kizaru could defeat Z if their first fight was prolong. Aokiji could too and that's why they didn't fight. -_- |
 |
| The movie was awesome and the animation was very good. |
 |
| finally got round to watching it. and I was fully satisfied. Z was an interesting antagonist, and I'm more in love with kuzan's character than ever before. action scenes are sickkk. every SH was entertaining as ever, though to differing levels. oh, and the music was great! definitely my favourite OP movie yet :3 |
| this movie was epic as hell kid nami was cute |

Namely the last fight between Luffy and Z. Great story but the last fight ruined it all. Classic fist fight? Watch Samurai Champloo and you know what kind of fist fight this should have to be great. That last fist fight, to me, it was like little kids playing karate, just with some bloods and all.. |

| Was Awesome!!! Felt rushed at a few parts and I liked Strong World more but still this was not far behind :D 9.5/10 Loved how Kuzan was a main player in this. Lol'd at his perverted comment about Nami hahaha Even though they were short, loved Sanji and Zoro's fights. They easily owned their respective enemies. I can't believe how strong Franky's shogun is!! He wiped out a fleet of Pacifista's O_O Luffy and Z's slug fist fight was pretty neat and liked how he used HH against those small fry hehe. Lol'd at Brook not changing one bit XD They had a lot of Nami fanservice at the beginning to make up for her not giving any when she turns into a child XD So I liked her as a child. Really cute <3 Robin going back to her early youth was nice...not much of a difference except for some smaller Boobs XD...But well Robin is always HAWT! And finally loved the Credits where they were all shown in their young form hehe. EDIT: OH and RIP Zephyr. Died like a true man T_T I really wanna know who cut his arm???? They said he was a Shichibukai now so I'm thinking he's the one they didn't show us in the manga a few chapters ago. |

| Yep I really enjoyed the slug fest too. Z went out in great style and loved his story. At first I thought he was really a bad dude but I think in the end he was just an old dog that wanted a good fight before he laid his bones to rest. And I felt for him a bit it's true that it's really messed up that the Navy hires Warlords that have killed so many Marines and been natural enemies all along. I mean what the fuck are they thinking?! Look at the track record, surely they've realized by now the Warlords are no more trustworthy or useful than pirates. In fact they're basically pirates hiding in plain sight. Of course on the other hand the Navy and World Government are in their own way a bunch of thugs themselves and pull all sorts of shady and evil shit... All I'm saying is I wouldn't be surprised if Akainu ended up killing most of them and stopping these foolish shinanagens. Anywho, I feel like Film Z is a great addition to the canon, gives a tad more to the back story for the navy and explained well how he was very much looked up to and respected and trained a lot of the most powerful dudes. Also I think it's kind of a nice little Straw Hat introduction to the New World as well. It was just nice to see some nice fast paced One Piece action. Especially liked seeing Akainu as the boss hog, Kizaru getting in some good licks as usual (love that guy he's the real deal) and of course theirs Aokiji post-fight wounds and post-navy admiral and all that good stuff. I've always thought he would make a good SH ally or maybe even join the crew (at least one of the two spots needs to go to a fishman or mermen though IMO) he does fit in well enough. Though then again he's also a decent fit for loner or ronin type character kind of like Hawk-Eye. Can't imagine him being the chief admiral or the navy haha, he's way too laid back and just doesn't seem all that ambitious. Maybe he just wanted to fight Akainu?? Perhaps I'm talking too much about One Piece when I start going in to theoreticals heh. PS - this doesn't have much to do with Film Z though I had a thought about Shanks when Luffy started talking about his hat. I just wanted to call it right here and now - Shanks is gonna get killed by Blackbeard. I say this because both characters have a history of fighting, and it's looking like Blackbeard is gonna become the main villain (along with Akainu) and this sets things up perfectly. Blackbeard becomes an Emperor and contender for the throne, as well as sets himself up to become the character that Luffy hates the most considering he had a hand in Ace's death as well. Of course I think that will happen after Luffy and Shanks have a great heart-warming sort of reunion and perhaps an adventure together. They can introduce their crews and all that good stuff too. I really really want that to happen at least. |

| "I'm gonna be king of the pirates!!!" "I'm.....Z!!!" |
"There is someone that I must meet again. And until that day... not even Death himself can take my life away!" |
| This movie was a hit and miss for me. Z had a good backstory, but his henchmen were forgettable. Luffy being downpowered. Seastone literally cant pierce luffy's body, it should make him weak, not take away rubber powers. It could pierce him only when imbued by haki, but then why didn't Z imbue regular bullets and waste precious seastone? 7/10 for me |
| 9/10 Could have gotten 10/10 if it had more of an explosion shounen-style ending but it's good nonetheless. |
| I love this movie.. Though the ending kinda disappointing because the plot seems become faster to just end the movie.. And I really love the scene where Luffy use his haki.. It's just awesome.. And I love One Piece even more XD |
 |
| Finally after a long wait, even though the movie is already on the internet, i watched it on the big screen.. And all i can say is that the film is awesome. With the big screen and the awesome sound systems gave me goosebumps. The animation is splendid, straw hats did not disappoint me. They are tremendous as always. And for the story of Zephyr, Oda strikes again. I love it. ^^ |
 |
| That was a superb movie as well, but I find the Strong World way better. Didn't expect that Aokiji would have an amputated leg from his fight with Akainu. Also, didn't expect that Z would be a real fundamental character in the Marines. He trained all the Admirals we know! That is some strong background there. It was very good. Giving it a 9/10. |

| It was okay. I had some pretty high hopes because Strong World was so epic, but I wasn't really blown away by this one. The animation was perfect, but the story was flat. I hate how they tone Luffy down in some of the movies and make him so easily defeatable. I understand getting beaten once because his guard was down, but twice and then outright giving up and letting the Navy finish him off? That isn't Luffy, nobody steals his fight. Also, a lot of what was explained by Garp (although I loved seeing him, Coby, Helmeppo, and Sengoku) and others could have been cut to another special episode like Strong World Episode 0 and given more time to fleshing out a better story and more epic battle scenes. We were told a lot of things and not shown enough I felt. 7/10. |

| Was expecting more from this film,nothing special so for me 7/10 |
 |
| Great film I guess. I liked strong world better. 9/10 Where's my Red Hawk???!?!?? |
| first film i watched from one piece liked it alot , i liked how the top marines were featured |
| I don't get why people are rating it a 10/10 and it's ranked as high as it. Pretty average throughout. 7/10 |
| Only about 30minutes in right now but.... LOLI NAMI!!!! >:D /finished Robin and Nami's expressions when Franky brought out the big guy. Lols. Still not sure why Luffy didn't just use his Haki to knock out the soldiers and run straight to Z. Sanji during his fight... Sexy fire... Meteor attack of love... Robin getting her age back.... Dat zoomage. Luffy's fight was just plain hilarious. The CG fights was a bit annoying but the LQ of the video I watch did well in hiding them.... Oh wait it was 720p... |

| One Piece epicness. 10/10. |
 |
| Favorite One Piece film so far, loved the story and Z was a bad ass. The second part of the ending credits were cute to watch :) |
 |
| Definitely going to have to rewatch this just because the subs were absolutely terrible. They might as well have not even been there. It was a good film, and I loved that Oda had a major hand in writing this movie as well. It was awesome how you got to see things about characters that you normally wouldn't have, and that it's essentially canon that we might even get to see in the manga itself. It was very enjoyable. Don't know if this is my all-time favourite as it's been a long while since I've seen the other movies, but it's definitely up there. |
| I reject your reality, and substitute my own. |
| It was pretty good I liked all the new stuff they did with cannon characters especially Aokiji. Not as good as Strong World or movie 6 (which is by far the best one in my opinion). |
