One Piece Theory 104 (With Roger): The Supernova Rivalry

So many matches in the New World. Someone is bound to get burned.

Hello everyone, I am Roger, and welcome back to the fourth installment of One Piece Theory. This is where I look close into the latest developments of the grand epic that is One Piece, and through proper deciphering of the past, attempt to prophesize what may be ahead of our heroes (and villains) in the future. Very seldom are these theories guaranteed to read Oda's mind, as the man never seems to be out of surprises, but some critical thinking about a series no one knows for sure yet when it will actually end never hurt anyone now did it.

First Thoughts 
This was an amazing episode. This episode was tense from beginning to end. Then to help with the tone of this episode there was greatly animated scenes that looked good throughout the whole episode. This episode had me on the edge of my seat for most of the time and I was surprise when the eyecatcher came up since it didn't seem to be half way though the episode.

One difference between the manga chapter that this episode was based on was that I thought that the manga chapter was a bit funnier. In the manga I remember seeing a part where Luffy tries to go over the encircling wall by using Gum Gum Rocket but then get shot down as Jimbei and Ivankov were watching. That was funny to watch but it seems like it was cut out during this episode. Then again if that was included in the episode then it would have taken away from the serious tone of the episode.
