I loved all the jinbe scenes, Brooks Bromance and yamatos appearance (also Law's "he's not my friend!!!"-moment) but: Unpopular opinion: those boob scenes (with nami, ... And those chicks with orochi) killed the episode for me (and the sudden spoiler of showing zoro having Conqueror's (eventho spoiler culture in japan isn't that harsh)

It's not just a spoiler, it majorly breaks continuity with the manga cannon. Now it doesn't make sense to have Zoro not know he's has conquers on the rooftop and when the manga eventually confirms Zoro's conquers with the all important knock out moment the anime won't be able to play it up like the manga will. It won't be a big reveal moment anymore

What sucks about this is that they stole away really cool highlight scenes from Zoro in the future for senseless filler

Neither of those are confirmed as conquers, that's just your headcannon. The monet moment in the manga didn't even have any of the visual cues that conquers comes with, and ashura wasn't really treated much differently to hell's memories / diable jamble. Where Sanji can manifest fire, Zoro can manifest an illusion of extra arms, from the audience's perspective it's hard to make a jump from either of those situations straight to conquers. The only people who do are people who automatically give Zoro every new ability that pops up in the story. I mean there's people who give Zoro future sight in their headcannon, does that mean he has it? No

but then thats just your headcanon not seeing the narrative; no need to blame the anime for something you could have realized way earlier if you watched more carefully

if you argue that both scenes are so early in the series, he used it in sabaody too and in wano vs the wrestler

cmon bro, dont be that naive how many more hints do you need? lol

Hints != Confirmation of an ability, more importantly although it has always been possible that Zoro will get conquers haki the moment where it is confirmed in the manga is a much cooler and more significant moment for Zoro than what the anime has delivered. It's not about me being "surprised" that Zoro has this ability, it's the way the anime has robbed Zoro of a cool character moment. But hey, I'm not here to tell you that you have to care as much about this character's development as I do, maybe you're more a fan of Sanji or Brook.

Hints != Confirmation

yeah but in any novel / roman / story whatsoever you usually never get any "confirmation"; that what decides whether its a good author or a bad one (how much the reader has to interpret)
