1071 SURPASSED those expectations. I think it can be said this episode was better than Episodes 1015 and 1062!

scott

Everything was perfect. 10/10

Gian Pacayra

Man.. that Orochi scene ruined this episode for me the pacing was so slow. But chills the adaptation is amazing!

MM88

Luffy's gear 5 was insanely well done, however a lot of the scenes were repeated before he grabbed kaido, a lot of unnecessary flashbacks and a lot of things were happening so fast it was kinda hard to get the first time but the animation was fluid in an insane way, amazing episode, can't wait for the nest episode!!!

Amzo

Yes! As many also pointed out, some repeated scenes and unnecessary flashbacks, but they did G5 justice! I do believe next episode will be so so good though! The fight will be unreal i cant wait to see how they do it

Such a good episode. I knew to expect a lot of hiyori/orochi scenes from the chapter so that didn’t take too much away from it for me. Animation was out of this world, love how they adapted EVERYTHING. The sound effects were perfect, and that gear 5 scene with the montage of previous fights blew me away. Loved the new ending song too, looked beautiful.

OK I'm gonna be honest here because I'm an anime only watcher and did my best to not spoil myself all this time after I heard the news of gear 5... This episode kinda hurt to watch for few reasons. It's Not because of luffy gear 5 or animation cartoony wise hell no that was absolutely the most epic moment in one piece history and I'm so happy to witness that... But it was like 4 min of gear 5 introduction while the rest is stuff I have 0 interest about, but what I hated the most here is why the fuck there's a very long flashbacks during a super hyped moment near the end of the episode? I would rate this episode 11/10 and dare to I say I would call this episode of the decade if it weren't for these stupid ass time wasting stretching flashbacks that nobody gives a fuck about. Sorry for the rant but yeah tbh I'm not satisfied with the episode.

Stephen Rockford

Everything gear 5 related was great but the flashbacks and recaps really drag down the episode

Netsureim114

nah i agree with u...if it weren't repeat sequences, flashbacks, and hiyori stuff in the middle it would have been a good contender for the greatest episode...it is still great tho despite the flaws

Razyel22

I have mixed feelings, but I would say overall it did. Definitely needed that 957, 982, 1015 polish.

Samsara

The cartoon sounds were way too overdone and a lot of action shots are close ups but like really close it is not my type but glad others enjoy it.

Nafea

Great but i hope they fix the pacing mistakes in the episodes

Doffy

OP comes out every week it's not a season format , how do you expect them to work on an episode and make it look this good without filling the holes with some flashbacks , the important thing was to nail the introduction of the Power up . few seconds animation like this take months to make and they need to work on the next episode and the one after it, they respected the manga and made a perfect adaptation . a bit ungrateful tbh.

Zubayr

Idk 1015 felt like a movie

PieRat

It did, altho the repeated scenes at the beggining kinda ruined the mood. Also killer animation but if i wasnt a manga reader i would have no idea what happened in the scene where luffy pulls the ground to make a wall. Animators showing off a bit too much, but you know what? It looked good! The Hiyori scene was nice too. Pretty dope adaptation, was afraid they would butcher it, well done Toei.

Zanarkand

The only complaint i had was the scene where Luffy pulls up the ground to reflect Kaidos blast breath, it was clear in the manga in the anime it was hard to make out wtf he was doing.

Netsureim114

yeah they went a bit excessive...would been ok if they slowed it down a bit, but they made it go so quick that it was hard to understand what he was doing unless you go frame by frame

Created_4Games

Mhhhh i am very disapointed, they butchered the Gear 5 episode :( Like almost always they used one and the same scene 3 times in that episode and the Perspective they choose to show the fight was just terrible. As example, the scene in which luffy deflects Kaidos breath was very hard to follow and to see what he was doing also they did way too less of the funny Cartoon eyes.... WHY Toi WHY they did soooooooooo awsome episodes in the past, like EP 1015! I wont gonna lie, i was expecting that kind of lvl for the Gear 5 / JOY BOI entrance! Well my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined!

Created_4Games

PS: Whats wrong with the eyes in this episode?! Orochi looked like crazy and luffy aswell, with there eyeballs moving around like Psychopaths

Created_4Games

Hell no, they cheaped out on this episode :(

Created_4Games

PSPS: The outro song is pure love, such a gooood Outro pls moreee!

Rayhan Ali

Anyone saying it surpassed their expectations are lying. I'd say it just about reached my expectations. Tbh, This episode was amazing but its held back by the repetition of scenes, certain flashbacks, Hiyori and orochi was necessary but the pacing could've been better. Overall tho, Amazing episode 9.4/10. 1015 is still number 1 for me. And the hate this episode is getting from people who don't understand his power up pisses me off.

iba

bro stop hating, let ppl enjoy in peace.

Baker

For such an important episode it's very disappointing when you compare it to less significant episodes that hit a lot more. They reused the same set of well animated frames three times over hoping nobody would notice and just seal clap the spectacle, they inserted unnecessary flashbacks one from literally a couple of episodes ago, the pacing outside of the battle felt inconsistent with the fight, and half of the animation and art got lost with how fast the frames were speeding by. Felt like multiple directors working on the same episode and gave me pacing whiplash. I can't help but feel people are endlessly praising this episode when I feel it's extremely flawed with very glaring problems. Maybe people are wanting to ignore the negatives because they've waited so long to see this or are just happy with whatever as long as Gear 5 is animated. It just wasn't as good as the manga or the hype up

Baker

guy gave it a 9.4 and very valid criticisms. Stop brown nosing anything Oda related ffs

Daniel Pothier

Definitely felt like way too many directors, the flow of the episode was off. The pacing and episode structure was all over the place

Lualua

It was literally unbearable to watch, it was a mess, no direction at all, not artistry, random storyboards coggled up together, random animators were doing their best it the whole episode was just a waste of time. Made 0 sense, and it was hard to look at. Best episode is still 1015, even 1016 was better quality than this mess.

painAshenOne

I'm gonna be honest, It's unbelivable to me that there are whiners complaining even with an episode like this. You really have to be totally dead inside to see this and the only thing you can do is give negative opinions. There are people who only live to see the bad part of everything

Ea

I enjoyed the ep for sure, the only thing I was confused about was Luffy blowing into his arm (like G3) to grab Kaido, I always thought in G5 Luffy didn't need to blow into his arms to inflate and since he's so free, he can just make his arms bigger whenever. The episode animation was fire af though.

Sam JoyBoy

There's nothing ungrateful in giving your opinion, Mzpro2 and Netsureim114 didn't disrespect the staff of the episode. That wasn't a perfect adaptation, when you add flashback that breaks the flow of the episode, or when they use re-use the same animation 3 times in the same episode. I'm also upset they didn't add an ost on the gorosei speech, but that's very personal. The Zoro vs King or episode 1015 that adapted chapter 1010 are perfect adaptation. But I have faith the next episode will be a better episode.

Sam JoyBoy

Good episode but that wasn't a perfect adaptation, I'm dissapointed I was expecting way more. When you add flashback that breaks the flow of the episode, or when they re-use the same animation 3 times in the same episode. I'm also upset they didn't add an ost on the gorosei speech, but that's very personal. The Zoro vs King or episode 1015 that adapted chapter 1010 are perfect adaptation. I was hoping this episode would be the best onigashima episode, but I wouldn't even put it in my top 5.

Marcel Müller

Man remember the Kid/Law final episode? THAT is how you do a final to a fight, not 15 minutes of stretching and 4min of the hype. It was not as good as it could have been, but that is the work ethic Toei stands for. Do the minimum, cash in.

iba

NAH ODA IS THE GOAT YOOOO!!

Rayhan Ali

Iba there's a reason why you deleted your comment 😭 sit down your doin too much

Rayhan Ali

Bro luffy is nika, let him blow in his arm he is free to do what he wants to 😂 jk im guessin he just wants to do it cos it's how he does it in his imagination. I think that's how his power works.

MartiNReacTs

well... this wasn't final to a fight... fight still continues

iba

what comment did i delete Rayhan Ali

Johnn

Great animation but terrible direction. Reusing the animation and the flashbacks were a bit over done and definitely not the right time to use them . My girl Megumi Ishitani should've directed the episode. What she did for 1015 was nothing but legendary.

painAshenOne

"Final to a fight"?? This is just the introduction of Gear5 vs Kaido. There are like 5 or 6 episodes more to this at least

Dominic

Overall it was okay but the super fast cuts or camera angle changes were way too fast for the most part. For example in the manga when Luffy lifts the ground to reflect the Blast Breath. In this episode it was super hard to even catch that very well.

KingStation314

because they had a great and "long" chapter than 1044 so it's unfair to compare between them

Grapheen

Exactly what I thought. If I didn't read the manga I would be soooo confused

Grapheen

I have the same problem. They could have made the floor grab scene slower and used that extra time to avoid repeating scenes at the start

Grapheen

Megumi didn't direct this one ? Wtf ?!!?

Michael Akers

A lot of wasted potential whoever directed it should be fired. It was an absolute mess and way to many stupid fast moving camera moments. I am honestly disappointed but it still had its moments especially the beginning.

Doffy

being ungrateful is not disrespecting the staff , it's not being able to respect the work they put behind this episode and the attention to details even tho toei needs to bring an episode everyweek , just because of few flashbacks and you know that they have a lot of crazy chapters that they need to adapt with a great animation too . idk for me i just wanted to see the reveal of g5 done correctly and it was. im not asking much for something that comes out on a weekly basis. different standards

Johnn

Nope lol. There were rumors saying she was going to be on this episode but they turned out to be false. A shame really. Every episode she's directed have been a 10/10.

Pardock

It did live up to my expectations as to what Toei could deliver with their limitations of being weekly and their usual style with OP etc. It didn't live to my ideal expectations of a perfect anime adaptation but that's okay, within reason I really liked it

ProphetX

Totally agree, thought the directing was the biggest issue with how hard some of it was to follow.

Saleem Ali

This wasn't the final to the fight though? Dumbass ☠️

Potato

animation = insane directing = this guy is supposed to have directed past movies but the directing in this episode was bad imo scenes didnt flow together, scenes were reused too blatantly as well episode lived up to my expectations i only cared that they animated this reveal good and they did that, but the episode overall did not feel very cohesive and polished. imo so far 1062 > 1015 > 1071. lets see how 1072 does

its-RobZen

Not in the slightest. They messed up. Hyori+Orochi felt too streched, animation of Luffy jumping over the rooftop being used 3 times, animation of him falling to the ground and then pulling up the rubber-stone wall was horrific and him blowing his hand like he does in Gear 3 was also a no-go. Gear 5 is meant to be the form were he is the most free and can do whatever he wants. He wants a giants hand? Then it should get bigger by him only "wanting" it to happen, not having him blow it up again. VA was on fire and the mooosic was absolutely dope! But the rest really let me down...

Karasu_

Mate, its not about whining its just facts, everybody was waiting for G5 and the way they did it was just over the top and hard to follow, Luffy's eyes popping out was one of the moments I was waiting for the most and I could hardly tell wtf happened. One piece is still the goat but you have to be honest when you see something you don't like.
