Edit: Crunchyroll has uploaded the scene



Finally seeing another Kōhei Kureta works!

Damn the japanese art of the waves are nice as always, new soundtrack has been added in too, so far it sounds nice.
Zeus didn't like his new name :I

The electric shock on Ulti though! Hopefully that seals the deal. Otama getting the spotlight ! Underrated character for sure.

G.O.A.T.E.D!! MORE GIFTERS ARE SIDING WITH THE MINK, PIRATE AND WHATEVER ALLIANCE!

Holy ! The sideboobs on Yamato this episode that are showed out is the best shot so far! WHAT IN THE HELL WAS THAT SCENE AT THE END?!
THE FRAMING, LIGHTING AND EVERYTRHING!! The clash between Yamato and Kaido! What?! THE BUDGET WENT ALL ON YAMATO! WHAT?!

LADS TOEI IS SHOWING SO MUCH LOVE FOR YAMATO!!



We've been getting more new soundtracks, can someone tell me if this is from Film red or not?

Amazing episode!!! Last Episode by Kōhei Kureta!!
Luffy scene was funny. The one thing I noticed that many people will say Nami was great in this episode and I agree but we should also appreciate Usopp. He took soo much damage and still able to fight with Nami and both defeated Ulti, Usopp's durability is amazing!
Nami being a badass, since last 3 to 4 episodes, But O-Tama is even more badass than Nami, that walk... that Ost and That speech. O-Tama is the MVP of this arc so far, without a doubt!

Yamato vs Kaido, the animation was too good.
Kaido's dialogues are really good and his mentality & character shown so far are the most interesting any One Piece antagonist ever had.
Yamato is top 3 girls in One Piece for me!

@AhriTheS3xyFox yeah, I think it's from FILM RED. Because yesterday Toei released all the Film RED soundtrack. I'm not 100% but it could be that this new soundtrack is from film RED.
Here's the link to all the soundtrack from FILM RED, https://youtu.be/3VyB3PuDk0s

And another thing, toei is doing justice to Yamato vs Kaido!

@VolKur I like how you put Yamatos name before Kaido for "Yamato vs Kaido" instead of "Kaido vs Yamato" lol.

Looking through and hearing the soundtracks will take time though.

I can't believe so much things have been elevated by Toei from Yamato.

I know I've complained about auras (and that's still a problem despite Toei claiming they'd stop with that crap), but the usage of CGI is almost worse imo. CGI hybrid form Kaido for instance looked horrible, not in the sense that the CGI itself was that bad but in the sense that it stood out from the rest of the animation which made it look stupid imo. CGI dragon form Kaido also looked like shit but for different reasons.

It seemed like Toei saved most of the budget for the final minute of the episode which is something they've done before, but it stood out more than usual this time because it's so obvious that they did it specifically to pander to Yamato's stans. And I've lost track of how many times Ulti's gotten hit by lightning in this arc lol. Also every time Momonosuke or Tama is on-screen I just cringe or roll my eyes. Other than that, it was a decent episode. Way better than last week's, anyway.

That hybrid kaido is not cgi. It's hand drawn by the animator Vincent Chansard.
Bro! You can't even tell the difference between CGI & hand drawn animation, lol

If you don't like this art style, that's a different thing.
Vincent did same style of animation in episode 1028 & 1033, where Hybrid Kaido looked like it's CGI.

Or... it's rotoscoped? not everything is CGI.... You're over analyzing things to the point that you're overlooking many aspects and not knowing what you're talking about, this isn't the first time.

@Early_Morning "It's to pander to Yamato stans" that is a claim you brought up on yourself. If you use the world character popularity poll as a reference, sorry that does not work, as opinions and results change over time, and its outdated.

I liked the part where it showed the little montage of the different Straw Hat fights while the "We Are" instrumental played in the background. Other than that I didn't really care for anything in this episode except, of course, that insane final minute.

Some of your claims are kind of nuts tbh.

1. The Auras:
Idk from where you heard that they would stop with the auras, but that was either a misunderstanding or a mistranslation. The AD who said that, posted it on a Chines Twitter like website and only said, that they where allowed (after fighting a lot with FujiTV and so on) to minimize the auras for THAT EPISODE, since the ED wanted it. It was never a thing of all episodes. Sure they could do less as we’ve seen, but some ED’s probably also want it like that.

If you want more proof or info you can listen to the One piece Podcast that covered that episode. The had Henry Thurlow on (an animator at Toei) and he talked about that.

And I’m not saying that you have to like the auras - even I think that it can be too much sometimes. But what you said is just factually wrong and was never stated like that by anybody working on the show.

2. That Kaido and a lot of the Hybrid Kaidos that a lot of people claim are CGI are hand drawn. It’s just the style of that and some other animators, that draw in a very 3 dimensional style. Sure you don’t have to like it. But don’t go around and call something CGI when it isn’t.

I hate when they change the animation style during an episode. I find it distracting. That being said, I liked the art itself. I hope the actual fight between father and child is equal to the last 2 mins of this episode.

Nami has learned a lesson. Leave the naming of things to Usopp. smh

Law's crew is such an unorganized bunch without their captain lol. At least they finally manage to save Luffy. Thanks to Jean Bart who kept a cool head and cleared the water out of Luffy's lungs.

Zeus is back baby, even if I was kinda surprised, that he was able to get back to his previous form. Nonetheless Nami's attack already showed, that she's on a whole new level with Zeus at her side.

I just loved the way they portrayed Tama's determination in showing all of the straw hats current fights and playing an instrumental variance of "We are" in the background. It couldn't have been more fitting. With Tama's influence on the Gifters, the fight should be more balanced now.

I couldn't believe my eyes and was blown away by the beauty of the Yamato vs Kaido part. The animation once again went through the roof. Absolute incredible and also one of the smoothest ways transitioning into the "TO BE CONTINUED".

Easy 5/5

Next episode looks like we will see more of Queens devil fruit ability. Should be interesting, especially because Sanji will face him. Looking forward to that.

It's not CGI, that was rotoscoped drawn by Vincent Chansard.


The problem with rotoscoping is that it is too good that falls into the uncanny valley of animation.

In traditional animation, we are not used to things moving realistically, anime has always used tricks to animate as less as possible so when something moves too smooth it breaks our immersion as it looks weird. Look at much of the anime back in the 90's when you had hair moving and the rest of the character was just a still screen, but that effect in it self added that unique appearence that the character's hair was blowing in the wind. Its how traditional hand drawn animation and 2d animation is able to exaggerate specific scenes and expression or emotion within the frames, like in a lot of slapstick. If you tried to rotoscope or use CGI for a slapstick, it would never work. That is why it tends to be used for background cheography during battle scenes or explosion effects and that sort of thing. The technique is a very old technique that alot of western animators used to such great degree, but now with the advent CGI and digitalized computer animation, its become much more challenging to combine the 2 methods and making it blend accuretly on the screen.

Many people mistake rotoscoping with CGI but the result is still somewhat the same. For Rotoscoping it has limitations, and you can only use it for specific scenes, since it’s basically a tracing of a live action footage and then used to overlay that animated scene which again, your taking that moves in live action and trying to animate it, its obvously not going to look the same. I think this industry is just slowly adapting to these changes for one simple reason, it is far less taxing as an animator and much easier to accomplish then regular hand drawn animation and probably cost less to. But its never going to be up the standards of traditional 2d animation because each style are individually different, be it, hand drawn animation, live action and 3 dimensional CGI. It may take years and years but its very much a learning experience for a lot of these animators and we just have not perfected it yet.

Oh Man!! Zues is the cutest thing in One Piece. Nami's Thunder shot on Utli was too flashyy!!

When Otama stood up and, was on the way to give orders to Gifters, that soundtrack and those flashback, they matched perfectly. Gifters siding Pirates, I'm sure this will be a turning point of this battle, Queen underestimated Otama-Chan lmao.

Another Flashy Battle has started. (Kaido v/s Yamato) I dunno if that was 3Dimentional Art or CGI but I loved it. Kudos to Animators, they totally killed it.

Can't wait for next episode!!!

There's no way that that close-up shot of Kaido's face wasn't at least partially made using CGI. I went and compared it to other clips of Vincent's animation from other anime and there isn't any other scene that looked as uncanny as that. It's clearly not 100% hand-drawn no matter what he might have said on Twitter.

The Heart Pirates get Luffy onto the top of the submarine and rapidly ascend above water. One of the guys jumps on top of Luffy’s stomach in order to empty out the water that’s in his lungs. It’s such BADASSERY to see the fact that Luffy can talk WHILE UNDERWATER, WITHOUT OPENING HIS MOUTH. WHAT…. BAD-ASS-ERRR-RRRYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!

We see Momo and Shinobu falling into the sea. Momo is freaking out as they are so high in the air, but Shinobu has a plan. She uses her specialty Ninpo, Ninpo: Great Kite! As the name suggests, SHE PULLS OUT A KITE. She then takes herself and Momo towards a safe point on land. The two see that Onigashima is headed towards the Flower Capital, and Momo is concerned about the others, more specifically Kin’emon and Kikunojo. We then get back to Nami vs. Ulti.

Nami pops out a Weather Egg to prepare her and Zeus’ Lightning Blast, but before she can do that, she has the responsibility to give the thundercloud a new name. Nami thinks for a moment and comes up with… Fluff! The thundercloud IMMEDIATELY dismissed it and will now continue to be known as Zeus. Nami prepares the attack and launches Lightning Blast. Unfortunately… Ulti jumped out of the way. Unfortunately for Ulti… Zeus can redirect the lightning to hit its target and that’s precisely what he does. So Ulti falls to the ground and is KOed (HOPEFULLY FOR THE LAST DAMN TIME; JEEZ SHE’S GOTTA STOP GETTING UP)!

Bao Huang accidentally announces this to the entire island, so now the Animal Kingdom Pirates are doubting their chances of winning, which they should considering they’re going against none other than THE FIFTH EMPEROR. NO ONE CAN STAND AGAINST HIM! Usopp figures out that Bao Huang is a transmitter and uses Special Attack Green Star! Devil! Now Bao Huang has been captured and she can’t turn off her transmitting abilities.

Usopp tells Otama that her order will echo throughout the entire island. Then, THen, THEN we hear the badass music playing as Otama walks up to the stage with such grace and fierceness. OH MY GOD THIS IS SUCH BADASSERY! SHE LEARNED FROM LUFFY! She stands and prepares herself. Then she says with the greatest amount of confidence and badassery, “I’m Otama!”

Then we get to the transition. I forgot to mention it in the original debut episode, but they have a new image for Nami next to Zeus. But for this episode, they debuted a picture with Usopp. He comes out of some covers and sees frogs sitting above him. It looks so colorful. I can’t wait to see the transitions they’ll do for the rest of the crew!

Jimbei is still busy fighting Who’s-Who and the bastard has the audacity to get his soldiers to attack. Jimbei understood that the original numbers were 5,000 vs 30,000, so he knew that fighting one-on-one wouldn’t really be possible, so he’s not phased. That’s why he’s the helmsman of the Straw Hat Pirates.

Franky is still fighting with Sasaki, and Dogstorm against Jack. The Gifters come to fight and at first they are all fighting against Luffy’s side. But… Otama starts walking and reminisces on Luffy’s promise to her that when they leave Wano, she’ll be able to eat however much she wants. She talks about how everyone else is fighting hard as well, and she wants to fight as well. So, before Queen’s men can attack, Otama gives out her order to those who ate Kibi Dango to side with Luffy and Momonosuke’s group and take down Kaido with them.

Something awakens within all the Gifters who ate them and they start fighting AGAINST the Animal Kingdom Pirates. Everyone starts fighting to fulfill Otama’s request and now the tides have turned, thanks to the power of one eight year old girl and her courage to save the Land of Wano. What utter BADASSERY.

For the final section of the episode, we see the confrontation between Yamato and Kaido. Before I go over the events, I gotta say that the colors look so vibrant and just overall extremely pleasing to the eyes. As well as the flow and overall fluidity of the animation is just… breathtaking and proves even more why One Piece is the greatest fictional work in existence. It never gets boring and it’s ALWAYS exciting. Kaido tries to talk about how Yamato should’ve protected Luffy and Momonosuke, but Yamato responds and tells him that neither of them need protecting. THAT’S RIGHT! LUFFY IS THE FIFTH EMPEROR AFTER ALL. Yamato informs him that Luffy and Momo will work together to kick his ASS! Yamato then expresses his desire to set out to sea with Luffy AFTER he kicks Kaido out of Wano. Kaido goes into his hybrid form and refuses to leave the Land of Wano. He tells Yamato how there’s no chance that he can beat him. Yamato is aware of this, and he talks about how Luffy is the man that Kozuki Oden was waiting for. Yamato says until Luffy returns, he will keep Kaido here. So with that, the clash begins between Yamato and Kaido, and the lightning perfectly blends in and transitions to the TO BE CONTINUED screen!

I’m so excited to see more One Piece!
