| I got to watch the movie before this episode so I suffered no spoilers. That aside, it was a great compliment to the movie, to see Gold D. Roger and Gerp in action was epic, overall it felt a bit short (And it was) so some scenes were rushed. They should have made it a 45 mins long episode. |
| 8/10 same score as the movie. |
  |
| This episode was EPIC! I loved seeing things from 20 years ago! |
If you don't like me, acquire some taste |
| Really nice :) |
 |
| That was great. We got more backstory in one episode rather than 700+ episodes. |
Oh, pitiful shadow cloaked in darkness. Thy actions cause men pain and suffering. Thy hollow soul drowns in thy sins. How would you like to see what death is like? -Enma Ai |
| This is amazing so many familiar faces. Rayleigh, Shanks, Buggy, Garp, Jaguar D Saul(I think?), Crocus, CP9... pretty much every lovable character from episode 1. Shanks searching for Yasopp was pretty interesting. I want to know more about Shanks' crew. I died when Sanji was born looking like his wanted poster, cursed child was too funny. I would rewatch the fuck out of this |
| Great stuff, nice to watch this in hindsight of Strong World itself. Nice to see what everyone was doing at the time 20 years ago.. 9/10! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| This special was nice. Good to see our beloved characters in chibi >W< |
 |
| Glad I watched this before Strong World! It's really interesting to see what the world and characters before the Straw Hats- most of the crew weren't even alive at this point! Poor Brook and Robin weren't having a great time at the turn of the era though ;-; Loved seeing baby Ace and Hatchan, so cute!! Liked the cameos all the big names made at Roger's execution- Doflamingo, Crocodile, Shanks, Mihawk, Buggy Seeing the way Buggy was on Roger's ship just further cemented him in my mind as last era's Usopp lmao |

| Baby Hattchan is my new favorite thing ever |
| “I love heroes, but I don't want to be one. Do you even know what a hero is!? For example, you have some meat. Pirates will feast on the meat, but the hero will distribute it among the people! I want to eat the meat!” - Monkey D. Luffy |
| The experience seems to be WAY better watching this after the movie. Man, that was awesome! With so much disconnected flashbacks troughout the story, sometimes it's difficult to keep track of what was happening to everyone on Gol D. Roger's final days and some time after. I'm glad this short OVA exists to clarify some of those things, and it was very nice to see most of the important characters on the time prior to the show's timeline. Too bad we can't see Sengoku, Garp and Roger fight properly yet, guess it would spoil too much (considering until episode 429, when both this OVA and Movie 10 were launched). Every timeline freaks like me would certainly love this. :) |
| Wow Shiki is baddass. Good cannon episode. |
| Amazing episode! Hope someday they'll remake it |
 |
| i really loved this i want to see more of the world before the straw hats were formed hopefully we get to see shiki in the anime and manga sometime |
 |
| That was exciting!! |
 |
| more of an extended trailer |
| Cool. I really enjoy seeing so many characters in their younger years... Along with some background info about Shiki. |
