With Rikiishi in such a bad condition I'm not really looking forward to their match.

The ending really got me when Rikiishi fell a tear and walking down the corridor with his theme playing, very curious how the upcoming match will play out.

Taking him to the sea wasn't very smart.
It's painful to watch, I can't see him being a match for Joe in the state he's in.

That was extreme..

Honestly I couldn't help, but laugh the moment Rikiishi went mad, thought the presentation of the drama looked more comedical.. even though it's a serious matter. Aside from that the episode was good, you could feel his determination.

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

He quenched his thirst with her tears.

Well, Rikiishi sure as hell has determination, what a monster.

Joe is probably going to win and I will feel sad, Rikiishi sure did more than enough to deserve the victory.

Can anyone explain why is Rikiishi not drinking water?
Does drinking water make you gain weight, wtf?

The storyboarding, script literally all of the technical factors work btw they had to draw that waves and wind gust.

Rikiishi is SO MANLY. God.
Taking his body completely to the limit...
Manly character 5/5.
I loved what this episode wanted to show. As Rikiishi and Yoko are at the edge of madness.
Rikiishi Toru takes all my respects.
I wish the battle of Joe vs Rikishi with all my strength, but poor Rikiishi really is taking many risks.

Oh my god, Rikiishi's a real monster, a human monster, such strong determination. I even feel bad for Shiraki, having to watch Rikiishi suffer like that for so long.

Amazing episode, shows how truly frightening weight control can get.

Rikiishi almost went mad from the weight loss diet.

Thankfully Yohko was there.

But damn, not drinking water for days must be hard as hell, I would have given up on it long ago

I actually dislike Yohko. I know she has good intentions but she always goes about it the wrong way. This episode was very strong and compelling and emotional man.
