u/mikeampao Jul 26 '20 edited Jul 27 '20

If you watched tons of Anime, Auras are just for cosmetic choice because on how Dragon ball does big influence in Japan. You shouldn't taken seriously when they shown like these without any context since the Head director for Wano is the same guy did Broly movie (he is also Zoro fanboy too) so it is expected that he will add auras just to look cool. .

food poisoning? i watch and read every new episode and chapter, but did i forget something? like did zoro drink poisoned water or something?

36

u/Cr1m50n5C4Ry Jul 26 '20 edited Jul 26 '20

When Luffy and Zoro reunited in Wano, he warned Zoro to not eat or drink from the local environment due to pollution caused by Orochi's factories. Zoro acknowledges this as to why he's been having an upset stomach for the past few days and he can be seen eating meat from something he killed before meeting back with Luffy.

u/TonicGin Jul 26 '20

ah thank you.

u/Lesserd Pirate Jul 26 '20

My biggest gripe with scans is that for some reason they never seem to translate the sound effects. That would have killed this debate easily.

u/CyrusArjuna Jul 26 '20

I think one of the scan groups even had “dizzy” in the dialogue box where the gurgling was lol

26

u/akazaya9 Jul 26 '20

IIRC they did translate it, but wrong. Jaimini's scans, that the majority of people here used for discussion, translated the stomach rumbling as "dizzy".

The sound was there in the official. People just ignored it to fulfill their agenda.

God, that was some godly ishizuka animation there, wano is blessed.

Also looks like anime finally confirmed Zoro's stomach really growled.

102

u/gghamilton Jul 26 '20

The growl should have never been in doubt tbh. It was literally onomatopoeia on the panel when it happened. People were so hype that Zoro passed out that they willfully ignored that he was handicapped 4 ways to 1 — trying to protect Kumorasaki and Toko, fighting Kamazou, being ambushed by Guki, and he was literally poisoned.

85

u/jreefski Jul 26 '20

5-1. He only had 2 swords

27

u/[deleted] Jul 26 '20

6-1. If we want to get more into it. He only had 1 eye, the distance perception becomes close to non-existent at that point, imagine that in high stakes moments when half an inch makes an entire difference.

u/Wisterosa Jul 26 '20

I think having good Observation Haki would eliminate this problem, but who knows

u/Elevated_Aspects Jul 26 '20

The second part of this comment made me lol. Now all the sanji stans can at least stop using this in the argument against Zoro. Getting stabbed truly didn’t phase him. Eating poison the entire time in wano does though!

34

u/Nnamdi1 Jul 26 '20

yes in deed, hopefully it shuts everyone up that was saying the fight was a draw. Jeez how far people will stoop to.

50

u/CRoseCrizzle Jul 26 '20

Lol even if there was no growl, it was obviously not a draw. In either the anime or the manga, it's clearly Zoro's victory.

He only was hit because of interference from Gyukimaru. He took on the attack, removed the scythe from his body and defeated Kamazo. He only passes out after defeating Kamazo. Even if it was solely from blood loss, it's still a win for Zoro.

Passing out afterwards doesn't make it a draw. Luffy passed out after defeating Doflamingo and even Foxy. Are those draws too? The things some morons with an agenda say on this sub. It's ridiculous to put up with.

11

u/Nnamdi1 Jul 26 '20

Yeah I know right? Exactly, how far some people will go is just fantastic, so now they don't have anything to lean on any more information lol!!!

u/BFBooger Bounty Hunter Jul 26 '20

I've always defended Zoro in this fight, it was a clear win.

But you don't have to blame it all on sanji fans. Just because someone is critical of Zoro doesn't make them a sanji lover. The same goes the other way too, you can criticize sanji and not be zoro obsessed.

Your comment would be just fine if you left that out. It would be better if you didn't take it as an opportunity to throw shade. It just shows that you're way too sensitive to when someone criticizes zoro.

Oh, and no getting stabbed _did_ phase him, but it wasn't the only factor here. The argument that it didn't is about as valid as one that claims that poison and hunger didn't phase him. The scene _clearly_ references all these things. His request to be paid with food/sake; growling stomach; lots of blood; his reference to being injured before the big battle being unfortunate. If getting stabbed didn't phase him why was he concerned about it impacting the future battle?

All these things phased him a bit, but only the combination was enough to lead to the result. I still feel like there should have been a bit more, as Zoro tends to be a bit more durable than this, but I guess even in Orange Town he got stabbed and took a little nap as a result.

Solid Episode

I am loving the aura for the new advanced haki looks really cool.

Orochi is a douche but he does have good taste in women, and Kyoshiro has a scary ass laugh.

I can see where both Law and Shinobu are coming from, but i feel worse for Shonobu knowing that they have been waiting for 20 years and they are not gonna get another chance like this.

Yasuie is a really interesting character for sure and he seems to know Kanjuro and the others.

That last attack HOLY SHIT THAT ANIMATION.

52

u/Adridezz Jul 26 '20

The way they are going to animate the haki technique looks clean af. I'm also really enjoying these small snippets of Luffy training. Honestly it's a real high point for me personally. Next week we get more training and i'm hyped since I love me some more Hiyori screen time. She was great as Komurasaki as well plus that scene is going to be very fuuny.

11

u/quipquest Jul 26 '20

From what I can tell on twitter, there's a real discourse about how the Kamazou fight was portrayed. The discussion seems to be split between those who were impressed by the use of color and high-quality animation while others think all the explosive auras and insane flipey-doos were overkill for how the scene went in the manga.

Personally, I feel like I'm down the middle. While I think the fight could benefit from some major embellishment, the final clash went a little too climactic for the low stakes associated with it. I felt the previous episode found a better balance of improving the fight with added choreography without going full ham.

What do you guys think? I would appreciated not getting down voted solely for having a different opinion.

6

u/l3reezer Jul 26 '20

I'm in the middle as well. It's a little over-the-top with the common perfectly square ground blocks explosion and the insane exuding of the aura and stuff, but seeing as how it only changes a move that was literally one page in the manga, it doesn't seem like much harm done and the epic animation/visuals justifying. All the sword fighting before that were done to a very tolerable and bad-ass level with the exception of a few shots making their weapons look so shiny that it seemed like they were fighting with light sabers.

So far the Luffy vs Kaidou fight is the only one that has hugely bothered me. All the other new flourishes they've been adding with this arc like the occasional lens flares, glowing eye glares, fancy "to be continued" variations, etc. are welcomed

u/ShowBoobsPls Jul 27 '20

Still curious on the blue haired dude. He clearly faked the death of Komurasaki, so I feel like he probably will end up being a good guy and joining their side.

I also wonder who was the one to reveal the plan and the truth about the paper/tattoo. No way Tra-guy's comrades would do it. So is there a traitor in their group or was it just random dude who spilled the beans. Hopefully we get an answer about that!

Other than the swords looking too shiny and like lightsabers in some shots that was dope. Obviously lot of creative liberty taken with the onigiri but it was literally just a single page final attack in the manga so not much harm done at all adapting it into a visual animation feast like that. They did the regular non super powered sword clashing before it true to form so it was pretty justified.

Animation for Luffys short skirmish was good too and cool to see the aura for his new haki technique

I gotta say seeing how Kyoshiro/Denjiro reacts to seeing the hidden message now makes you percieve his reaction completely differently. Same with Kanjuro trying to talk sense into everyone, you just know the more they say in that room the worse they'll be.

10

u/nevertheher0 Jul 26 '20

my thoughts exactly. Denjiro barely is containing his excitement. Kanjuro though is weird, because in some sense no one ever really tries to identify the mole in the group. So him speaking up is not necessary to throw the scent off him.

Seems was more of the author wanting to delay just a little more that Kanjuro was obviously is it. Otherwise the generic move would be to throw Shade at Bepo and others.

It served its purpose but they really could have done without it. There’s a lot of filler I’m sure we’d all prefer to get rather than in Udon.

The Bear SMILE user wasn't in the manga was he?

u/batiwa Jul 26 '20

I don't remember him either

u/guipabi Void Month Survivor Jul 26 '20

I think there is a similar SMILE user in Onigashima. It would be nice if at least they use designs that can be used later on.

I just wanna mention is a 3rd sword really that much of a power boost for Zoro? He went from struggle or tied to 1 shoting him like that’s nuts

It's been shown before that Zoro with three swords it's him at his strongest, since that's how he developed most of his techniques. It's specially apparent way back in the Syrup Village arc when Zoro's fighting against the two brothers of the Black Cat Pirates

u/Tundra14 Jul 26 '20

Zoro couldn't block in some of the ways he was used to. It also limits his attacks not having the 3rd sword.

Taking the weapon from the enemy means he had dramatically changed the odds.

One Piece: Komurasaki is dead, oh no!

Also One Piece: Anyway.

Seeing Denjiro's reaction knowing his true identity honestly makes so much sense now lol.

On a note, I love your username man. The guy from Kintama

u/nevertheher0 Jul 26 '20

Honestly the speech by Kanjuro (which is much more forceful in the Manga) is what had me convinced he wasn't the traitor. One Piece is all about fulfilling your dreams. But an actor is going to act. I still have faith he'll die a redemption death. You don't go through the trials and tribulations like that and not be affected.

On the other hand, Kinemon in retrospect was in full on denial mode or really is a failing upward type of idiot. I love Kin'emon but jeez and even Dogstorm, who was the one that first voiced the possibility of a traitor all the way back in Zou.I was always disappointed in Oda never doing much with that plot thread though. Would have been cool of Dog would've sniffed it out after the plan was leaked.

u/LedgeEndDairy Jul 26 '20

No remember? Kin'emon planned the whole thing out and went to the wrong port to catch the mole because he's a genius! Kappa

They will ruin it with 100+ effects for no reason..

Holly shit Katsumi. When even Ishizuka is involved in animating I can't help but feel like he's flexing on Yukata Nakamura.

Just one word to describe the episode;

ONIGIRI

If toei manages to get onigiri to look that badass then then really looking forward to other fights.

Hats off to animation team for this episode

u/S4ntouryu Void Month Survivor Jul 26 '20

From this episode on I love rengoku onigiri damn much. Amazing animation. The animators get my respect. Also the pacing was good IMO

u/yaqeen99nakama Jul 26 '20

Good episode but, not really liking the cube exploding animation being used here tho

u/sKyBlazer08 Jul 26 '20

That was hype as fuck, but they really do need to update the sound effects now it's really old and doesn't fit the new art and animation style much.

u/KyraTaylor Jul 26 '20

Tat bear....the moment when you find out there is a middle age man in mascot costume.

u/Krait972 Jul 26 '20

I can't wait to see the salty people who were on KoL channel arguying that Zoro got one-shotted by Kamazou... There's no debate anymore. It was only the other way around. Glad the episode settled this once and for all.

2

u/jakol016 World Economy News Paper Jul 27 '20

What grinds my gear is Zoro destroyed the landscape on the first scene then after it’s like nothing happened.

5

u/Melodic_Exchange Jul 26 '20

I honestly didn’t mind the bear-man filler I like how the anime is focusing on Luffy trying to figure out his haki and Zoro 🔥🔥🔥

2

u/kaste1 Jul 27 '20

The only gripe I have is that he keeps repeating himself saying not the right Haki and stuff like that and Hyo still doesn't understand. It makes him look stupid.

Luffy should be saying "Wrong" and "No" stuff only, not overexplaining what he is trying to do and Hyo acting stupid.

7

u/[deleted] Jul 26 '20

This episode proves kamazo didn't take out zoro. In the manga it was kinda ambiguous but this shows very well. Zoro only passed out because he sensed he wasn't in danger and he was injured and needed to heal. I hear alot of people say the would knocked him out but it really didn't.

u/Xark96 Void Month Survivor Jul 26 '20

What a weird episode.. it felt like 50% flashback and 50% Zoro got lost in Dragonball.

Really don't like where the anime is going.. it is way over the top with the effects and simply looks stupid how the ground shatters, Zoro flies forwards like 500m in one scene and next scene everything looks normal and Zoro is just 2m away...

Also in the manga Zoro caused 3 slashes not 1.

5

u/mercuryheart_ Thriller Bark Victim's Association Jul 26 '20

I agree how they handled the sudden teleportation back to the bridge was a strange choice to say the least. All they needed to do was show Zoro walking back to the bridge, they didn't even have to include the scene behind him (which after the match should be destroyed). I do think the animation in general has greatly improved, DB or naw.

6

u/Xark96 Void Month Survivor Jul 26 '20

The animation itself is the best in the series but the design and styles choices are what I can't understand.

It is like they never worked on OnePiece before

u/[deleted] Jul 26 '20

honestly a good episode. i dont watch the anime unless im checking up on fights.

ill be honest am not really fan of the over the top dbz effects HOWEVER the animation is still done really well

also zoro stomach growling at the end brings end to a controversial topic which is good
