Did Joe just get friendzoned? xD The fact that guy tried robbing his mother and sister is just too dam sad, how shameless can you be.

This felt like a filler episode but damn, I loved it. More development in Joe's character is always appreciated. I hate the son though, how low can he go seriously ? Trying to steal money from his own home... but the ending was heartwarming.

Yeah this episode did feel like filler but I quite enjoyed it actually, the setting this time being on a farm was relaxing.

This episode and the one where the kids visited him felt like filler to me. Can a manga reader confirm?

But don't get me wrong, I really liked them. Felt like a little breather after all those bad things happening to Joe. It makes me happy to see him so joyful once in a while :)

This was one of my favorites episodes yet.
Joe and Inaba going on a little trip and Joe falling off a cliff and being saved by a girl.
It was obvious when those guys appeared that it was Yasuo who told them about the place, at least he didn't leave again.
Joe is off again!

This was a nice episode, even tho it felt a bit random.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

This obviously had to be filler, or maybe an expanded bit of a chapter. But regardless, what really bothered me about this episode, was the whole aftermath of the robbery. When the Mother is happy to see he's doing well, like what the fuck you moron. Your son and some goons just attempted to rob you at a knife point, how in God's name is that doing okay. That's the total opposite of doing okay, holy shit. And then what about the two guys Joe knocked the lights out of, how's any of this going to be explained to them. "Sorry that guy knocked out your tooth and beat you senseless, um it's all good though, cause I reconciled with my Mom."

This felt like the obligatory filler beach episode, but was enjoyable nevertheless. Joe crying when dreaming about his mother was heartbreaking ;-;

Yuri is waifu material.

I thought it was really enjoyable, even if that mother's devotion to her son has some questionable elements (questionable but not really unreasonable. Parent's have acted more irrationally forgiving towards their kids).

Yuri being a likable character and Joe saying he'll visit again... Really sucks that this was likely filler and we'll never get to see these characters in the future.

Joe suddenly falling shooked me a bit, it was very unexpected, (though I kept in mind that something like that could happen due to the extreme mist). Joe was pretty badass when fighting those guys, not gonna lie. The Yasuo guy was really pathetic though, trying to rob his own mother and sister...

Fun little story, it was decent.

Aside from the robbery, this was a really nice, peaceful episode. I know the main thing between Joe and the family is that he looked like Yasuo to them, but doesn't the family, especially Yuri, look like Joe?

They have the same complexion and nose, the faces are also quite similar. Perhaps it was intended that way to make viewers think, but for a second I was convinced Joe was a long lost cousin of Yuri's or sort.

An average episode at best, felt like it could have been from another series altogether. Somewhat melodramatic, and Joe could have been replaced with any random character. It's feeling more and more like the series lost its direction after Rikishi's death, with almost 30 episodes of Joe trying to figure out how to cope with it, plots getting drawn out and having fillers like this. That's more than a third of the whole series. We're still getting some character development, but it's starting to look like the series peaked way too early. Still hoping we'll get some exciting development in the last 10 episodes.

It was great to finally see something related to Joe's attitude toward life with a simple family.
