The LOVE episode. Yup, it’s only OnePieceOfficial.com that can deliver such beautiful, heart-wrenching moments such as these, and Still be just This Awesome.
First Thoughts
Sora here, proud and happy to announce that this is the last episode to cover a manga chapter I have previously read! Huzzah!! Now (minus the spoilers I already have regarding major events) I can actually be SURPRISED again upon watching my weekly One Piece episode. HUZZAH! Plus, this episode was amazing all on its own. Really surprising, blew me right out of the water, and had a perfect “One Piece” ending to the episode. Covered a lot of material as well, a lot of huge events occurred that were sure to freak out people who hadn’t already known what to expect. What I especially enjoyed was how quickly they moved the episode along, because they covered a lot of material here and it all went together so well, even with the few flashbacks.
{Oh, and I have non-officially dubbed this episode “The LOVE Episode”. Way too many instances of affection (brotherly, parenthood, friendship) to not have it be mentioned.}
