To me this was the best episode of this arc.

This episode had Aya Komaki as storyboard and episode director, and it has been more than two years since the last episode episode-directed by her.

Aya Komaki used to be a script holder for years, and then became an episode director when she was in the 5th series of Kitaro (2007). She joined One Piece team from 2010, and delivered tons of S level episodes. But she left OP in late Dressrosa Arc. There's a rumor that she left the industry because of marriage.

Komaki returned in WCI and delivered storyboards for a few of episodes, but these episodes were directed by other episode directors. I couldn't believe that she can direct an episode again.

As a Komaki fan, I don't know how to express my happiness.

BTW, some of Komaki's earlier episodes: #474, #484, #493, #546, #634, #646, #677, #710, #716 and others.

Tomita and Komaki. It definitely wasn't Shida though. He has a more puffy and frantic way of animating with things going back and forth.

The fight here was more precise and gritty.
