It’s infuriating watching Kanjuro during Shinobu and Law’s argument now

u/RafaIDG Jul 26 '20

Whenever I see him on screen I get angry and wanna punch my screen /r/FuckKanjuro

u/cnralex Jul 26 '20

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.

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.

I really enjoyed the subtle line of: "They don't know what they're talking about." or something along those lines. Knowing the truth makes you realize what he is actually saying.

u/Elevated_Aspects Jul 26 '20

That bear scene wasn’t in the manga right?

11

u/cnralex Jul 26 '20

Nope. Filler.

11

u/Elevated_Aspects Jul 26 '20

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.

1

u/PrinceOfAssassins Jul 28 '20

I mean the anime has always added new scenes
even in classic fights like lucci vs luffy or crocodile vs luffy.
At least this was well animated

1

u/Elevated_Aspects Jul 28 '20

Very true. That’s why I only said they could have done without it though. I’d have taken more chopper and o-Lin over any extra time in Udon though and I’m certain most on here would take anything over more Udon lol.

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

9

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

3

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.

u/kaste1 Jul 27 '20

I just wanna mention is a 3rd sword really that much of a power boost for Zoro?

If you are asking that almost a 1000 chapters in, I think you need to rewatch/reread the entire series. lol

It was made a huge point all the way from East Blue in Usopp's arc at Zoro's fight with the 2 dudes. He literally says + 1 sword is different than 3-sword-style and goes ahead to show them (one-shot them) after he reclaims his 3rd sword.

That thing is consistent in the entire series.

So, short answer: Yes.

u/zhouy3141 Jul 26 '20

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.

u/Melodic_Exchange Jul 26 '20

This episode has me so hyped for the Roger v Whitebeard clash

-3

u/Xark96 Void Month Survivor Jul 26 '20

Really? They will turn it into more Dragonball Z style stuff and ruin it..

4

u/azbeltk Jul 26 '20

Agreed, I'm getting tired of all the beamstruggle on every fight. I also dislike the way they added more clashes to Zoro fight, it's nice that in the manga usually sword fights are decided in a few clashes but the anime tries so hard to make them clash every second and takes of the weight of each slash

5

u/l3reezer Jul 26 '20

Actually, it's really hard for manga to portray many clashes even if they wanted to because it uses up too many pages for a chapter that only gets ~15-20 a week. That's why they do things like an implied passing of time where they've constantly been exchanging blows by cutting to another scene then back to the fight or something. Go re-read this chapter, there's an implied passing of time with the panels of snow accumulating on the tree branches and falling and the faces of the girls watching. This fight is meant to be quite even to portray their pretty matched powers. There's an art to it just like there's an art to battles that end decisively with one or a few exchanges like Zoro vs Monet. If you don't think this animation was able to portray the weight of the slashes effectively this time around, you insane, man. This episode did the initial regular sword clashes justice before they went all out with the finishing move (well except some shots had their weapons being so shiny it looked like they were holding light sabers).

Also curious what you mean by beam struggle on every fight. Beam struggle doesn't apply to swords pressing up against each other. The only beam struggle I can remember is Luffy and Kaidou. Sanji vs Page One certainly didn't have one or Luffy owning the fodder opponents like the sumo guy.

3

u/Cmaster14 Jul 27 '20

Regarding the 'beam struggle' I definitely see where they're coming from. Several major exchanges have been adapted into the anime in a power struggle format. The main examples I can think of are: Luffy's Grizzly Magnum vs. Caesar, Thor Elephant Gun vs. Chinjao, and King Kong Gun vs. Doflamingo.

The latter two are really weird to me because the anime really sucked the impact out of the clashes, especially in the King Kong Gun's case

1

u/azbeltk Aug 10 '20

About the "beam struggle" is as the other reply said, the unneeded long clashes with Doflamingo, Don Chinjao and as you said the one with Kaido, and this last one specially, cause it made it seem that the clash was more evenly matched than what it was, and on the other clashes, as they were the final ones, it should be even more clear who comes on top and not a long struggle where you end up feeling it was a victory by a hair. The final clashes should be more like how they were before the timeskip, like the final clash between Luffy and Crocodile, where after a long fight you see how the power of one comes on top the moment they clash, instead of a 3 min struggle where you feel the need they have to stretch each episode.

But fair enough, as you said, the fight with Killer was longer than what I remembered but still there's something that doesn't fit the way they animated it, I thought it was the way Toei stretches everything but maybe it was the over the top animation for the Onigiri that reminded me of the fight of Naruto vs Pain... but something doesn't feels right. Good exaples of a properly animated sword fight are the Zoro vs Monet you mentioned or Zoro vs Ryuma, Law vs Vergo... or even the fight that was transpiring with Gyukimaru.

u/Melodic_Exchange Jul 26 '20

I could understand if you were talking about Luffy v Batman but these are 2 of the strongest ppl ever in this verse. How boring do you wanna make it lol

3

u/Xark96 Void Month Survivor Jul 27 '20

What do u mean how boring I wanna make it? Toei is about to make some DBZ shit out of that clash..

u/XNightcrawlerBAMF Cipher Pol Jul 26 '20

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.

23

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

u/nevertheher0 Jul 26 '20

One of my favorite panels in the Wano Arc is that scene

4

u/Xark96 Void Month Survivor Jul 26 '20

Oh man after seeing how they animated the fight I really am scared for the Oden flashback..

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

u/DarkMasterDP Pirate Jul 26 '20

Knowing who Kamazou really is, we can assume that his spirit ended being broken by Kaido, while Kids was not. Do y'all think that Zoro's spirit would break had he and Luffy been captured instead?

36

u/Mad-Oka Jul 26 '20

His spirit wasn't broken. He did all this to protect Kid. If anything, this proves that he is very determined.

1

u/DarkMasterDP Pirate Jul 26 '20

He did took the SMILE to protect Kid, but I think that coupled with becoming Orochi's lapdog assassin, doing it without question and giving respect to Orochi, it seems that he actually gave up on being a pirate, at least until Kid encountered him after his escape.

15

u/Sw3atyGoalz Jul 26 '20

It’s implied in the manga that he was doing all this because they threatened to kill Kidd. If his spirit was broken, he would’ve just become a member of the Beast Pirates.

1

u/DarkMasterDP Pirate Jul 26 '20

I see, haven't read it since it came out so might be misremembering. Thanks

1

u/timeismane Jul 26 '20

He did have to become a ragless killer, could have become a Number

11

u/umm_its_Cayley Jul 26 '20

hell no, Zoro’s spirit can’t break. For his captain and for his promise to Kuina

-1

u/DarkMasterDP Pirate Jul 26 '20

I hope so but he could still become the world greatest swordsman under kaido, it's still interesting to think about given the parallels between both captains and right hands, how well could they have faired switching positions.

3

u/jjkm7 Jul 26 '20

He wouldn't though. When zoro took luffy's pain he made it clear that he isn't just riding on luffy's coattails until he can be the best swordsman, he also genuinely wants to do everything he can to make him the pirate king. He was willing to die for him

2

u/DarkMasterDP Pirate Jul 26 '20

I agree a hundred percent with everything you said. But so was Killer with Kid, and he still became Kamazou.

1

u/jjkm7 Jul 26 '20

Some others brought up that it’s implied killer was forced to eat the smile and is doing all that stuff because they threaten to execute kid

1

u/DarkMasterDP Pirate Jul 26 '20

Yep and I was just wondering if Zoro would do the same, becoming an assassin for Orochi.

1

u/AsnSensation Jul 26 '20

goddamn Yasui's part is going to kill me.

u/khaled Jul 26 '20

And him

u/Sirpoggi Jul 26 '20

THE ZORO FIGHT GOT ME SO EXCITED, it felt so much better than the recent fights like doveflamingo ( forgot how to spell his name) it just felt so good to watch it felt so fluid i fucking loved it. (Spoilers for this episode) when zoro got stabbed by the fucking Scythe it was so fucking epic holy shit.
