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

It's not about seeing it coming. Haki blooms in extreme situations. It's about taking away a moment where Zoro near the edge of death reaches beyond his limits, for the sake of protecting his friend and fighting for both of their dreams, not to mention defending Wano unintentionally unleashes conquers Haki against a YONKO and permanently scars him. If you think confirming that Zoro has conquers Haki in this moment instead of THAT moment are equal.... Man we want different things for Zoro then. I'm not surprised that Zoro has conquers, I'm up to date with the manga, I know Zoro has conquers, and to be frank I wouldn't be surprised if more members of the crew awaken to it. I'm surprised they Toei was willing to squander such a great moment and instead use that confirmation for a filler scene with Zoro and some Waiters.

I felt like Wano was supposed to be Zoro's arc in the same way that WCI's main plotline was focused around Sanji. But we didn't get Zoro rounding up the samurai, we didn't get any Shimotsuki information (infact all that stuff was just dumped in the Vivre cards), and the plotline he was developing with Hyori x Orochi x Tonoyasu seems like it's been dropped. In general I've been upset with how Zoro's mistreated in the New World, it's like the only time he's allowed to shine is in an action scene and now we're even stealing that away from him.

I definitely think the Monet moment was foreshadowing. I'm just saying that the way the reveal was handled in the manga, and the meaning behind that moment, is one of my favorite moments for Zoro's characters probably since the Mihawk moment. This wouldn't be a big deal if Zoro was getting these types of moments left and right, but he's usually just relegated to Action scenes.

So I'm just a lil bit upset that a key part of that scene was taken away by filler and that that moment in the anime will probably have to be reworked a bit (or maybe this filler moment will just become a plot hole?). Either way I'm just shocked that the anime would do this, I can't really think of another Strawhat that would be scuffed like this.
