Danpei in a suit makes me chuckle.

Nishi ;_____; he deserved the opening music in his spar.


The most legit eyes I've ever seen.

So this is where there will be something new and not semi-remake from the first season, such emotional episode especially when Nishi started crying during his speech.

Nishi's retirement party was funny and sad at the same time, I will miss seeing him in the ring.

Ah man, it's really a pity that Nishi can't continue, seeing his tears hurt.

At least he got a nice party and one last spar.

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

Right in the feels, that was a beautiful episode.

Nishi barely gets protagonism despite being always there, but he's still such a likeable bro. I still remember when we first met him being a leader of the prison bullies, but damn he changed, so sad that he has to retire this early.

What a nice episode, and a nice sendoff to Nishi's boxing career. I actually really like how we get a fair bit of time devoted to him, makes it seem like he maters more then just being a background character that exists to support Joe.

Nishi's retirement was very tragic as it already was, this makes it even more tragic. The final spar was beautiful.

It was a very emotional episode. Joe still doesn't behave with Yoko properly but that's alright.

Man, thought this before, but this ep hammered it in more. As great as it was to have Joe back, feels so sad that Nishi is done.
