One Piece 3D2Y: Ace no shi wo Koete! Luffy Nakama Tono Chikai

After suffering great personal loss during the battle of Marineford, Monkey D. Luffy finds himself stranded on Rusukaina, a treacherous island crawling with huge and dangerous creatures. There, he has committed himself to a two-year stretch of training to learn "Haki," the energy that combatants can use to grant themselves a variety of abilities in battle.

Luffy is jerked away from his otherwise peaceful training by the abduction of Sandersonia and Marigold, sisters of his friend and ally Boa Hancock. With Boa's aid, Luffy seeks to track down the infamous pirate responsible for the kidnapping, a man whose recent prison break is the result of Luffy's own reckless actions. Luffy must use his developing grasp of Haki to defeat this new foe while coming to terms with his overbearing grief in the process.

Well well well, The last 1.5 hour or so was considered a special but felt like a movie

- Story (8/10):
In a nutshell, an adventure that Luffy endures while training with Rayleigh, it took place between the 2 years gap, we got to see Luffy fight together with Boa, we had some giggles every now and then which is expected from one piece content, Luffy developed well durry this special, as we see him advancing in controlling his Haki abilities, He still showed a very sensitive spot on his brother's incident tho, but he'll overcome it an upcoming point.

- Art (8/10):
The typical One piece art, the ... animation was fluid of course, Luffy's outfit looked so stylish, and the second gear's scenes where animation amazingly.

- Sound (8/10):
Nothing very remarkable, your very usual meal of One Piece soundtrack, the hype, and emotion remain.

- Characters (8/10):
Yet another One Piece spin-off, and of course other new characters, referring to the World's pirates here, they stand out for a good villains, World's backstory was convincing enough to build him up to be the way he's now, having to endure that, and being betrayed by your Nakama, spending 30 years in Impel down is no easy task, The guy just wanted revenge which is, of course, typical in those situations.

- Enjoyment (8/10):
Totally loved what I watched, would I recommend it? Most diffidently, it's such a good watch after you finish the first half of the series.

- Overall (8/10):
I really enjoyed this movie, the event weren' that rushed, It didn't contradict the main, plot that much, so I'm fine with it.


For those who skipped the ending cutscene, go see it, an awesome character 'S' made an appearance, and it was on point too, <3

One Piece 3D2Y: Ace no shi wo Koete! Luffy Nakama Tono Chikai Review

Story (9/10) Great

With a story arc that takes place during the time-skip of One Piece where Luffy goes to Amazon Lily Island to learn and train his Haki with the assistance of Rayliegh, I thought this episode special fit in quite well. It doesn't break off and do it's own thing that would hinder the cannon story of One Piece which I don't think this is considered canon but like I said earlier since it happens during the time-skip i wouldn't see why it shouldn't. Execution with the plot that was given was ... simple and great.


Art and Animation (8/10) Very Good
More Specifically (8.75/10) Very Good+

The Art stood out in the episode special the most looking quite different than your average One Piece art style. Not enough for you to say "this looks weird!" or "this doesn't look like One Piece!" but it is enough for a person who's watched everything that has came out before this episode special to say "oh this looks a bit different" but not in a bad way as it has more of this westernized cartoon art style to it which makes it's slightly unique different and cool, the animation also is quite well.


Sound (9/10) Great

The sound effects and music are all authentic great One Piece OST that we are used to hearing nothing outstanding but just your usually but great One Piece BGM, sound effects and voice acting that we are used to hearing.


Characters (9/10) Great

The characters in the episode special mainly focus on Luffy, Boa Hancock, Buggy the clown, Buggy's crew and the episode special antagonist and his friend. All are portrayed the way you would think that are nothing outstanding but still great. We do get to see the new time-skipped Straw Hat crew at the end of the episode special which is a nice treat for things to come also.


Enjoyment (7/10) Good

I fairly enjoyed myself through the start and end of the movie. The buggy the clown stuff wasn't that entertaining and the Bao Hancock fight was ok nothing amazing those where really the only two parts of the episode special that I wasn't really that intrigued in. The Luffy vs World fights were very good and we get to see Luffy's progress with mostly Armament Haki with a taste of his new move Gomu Gomu No Red Hawk. Which we can assume was his first time using it since he was surprised when it came out even though he had the name for it right when he did it but I'm not going to think to hard about that, it's just an anime. Anyway I enjoyed it.


Overall (8/10) Very Good
More Specifically (8.75/10) Very Good+

This episode special was very good I would recommend this one also. I'm glad to see that I'm now fairly enjoying almost every episode special and movie after Strong World with this only assisting that statement.

Mixed Feelings

This was a fine movie overall, but it never really engaged me. The plot setup itself is pretty boring, and the first bit of it is mostly a quick recap of certain events, which was nice to see some of the scenes reanimated but not really necessary. The main villain got some development towards the end, but it felt kind of hollow, and I didn't really care. The dialogue is pretty one-dimensional and plain, which also just makes it unable to engage me.

Besides that, there are some nice moments with Buggy, Hancock has a handful of nice scenes, and with the little bits of fight ... scenes we do get, there's some pretty good animation, so it was worth the watch for those reasons. With this movie done, I'm finally ready to start the time skip, so I couldn't be more excited.
