Powers on a Different Level! Luffy vs. Lucci!

As a manga reader, i always wondered how they gonna do it, and they exceeded my expectations.. Luffy being bada$$ also goofy and most importantly, majestic. And i love how toei gassed up lucci. As they should.. Lucci definitely one of the most underrated character.. The lore, information were spot on from vegapunk .. Ending was breathtaking too.then there was the first hand to hand combat animation. I believe, it looks way cooler when luffy fights someone who is more human sized and fights with hand to hand Martial art combat style. The animation director, the episode director (nozomu shishido) and of course goated key animator GOAT vincent and Ota cooked.

Good job toei. Next week there is recap. Obviously,, they wanna make 1101 top tier too. Keep it.

Lesssgoooo peak piece!!

The animation in this episode was one of the best I've ever seen in my entire life. The transformation of both Luffy and Lucci, the drums of liberation, Luffy's bloodthirsty look in the first attack, the adjacent elements added to compose the episode, Vegapunk explaining about Devil Fruits and marveling at finally seeing the god Nika...

The entire episode is very fluid with smoth fights. Toei, directors, animators, writers... Anyway, everyone did an excellent job in this episode. May this episode serve as a quality standard for manga -> anime adaptations.

Simply everything was perfect. That's it.

This episode of one piece was so damn phenomenal. The animation was top tier and out of this world. They did amazing on the cinematography and did not miss with the impact frames. I think I speak for all of us when I say that this episode was everything that a one piece fan could have ever asked for without a doubt in my mind. This isn't a spoiler but this episode not only contained some amazing fight scenes but it also talks very deeply about the lore of the story and gives us more development on the main character.

So personally all I gotta say is that I personally enjoyed every single second of this episode without ever feeling like it's missing something.

The amount of callbacks and references to the original enies lobby ark from over a decade ago is insane. No other show can do it like one piece where you feel emotional attachments to the characters. Seeing luffy in gear 5th makes me so happy and reminds of everything he's been through to get to this point. This fight was also amazingly animated, it's so mind boggling that animation has reached a point where it's this good. Some people might skip to this episode to see what the hype is about. But you won't truly understand unless you've seen everything luffy and the straw hats have been through.

Gorgeous animation. Faithful adaptation of the source material. Even going beyond the manga, instead of just jumping straight to the transformation process. The reactions of the crew as they wonder what exactly was transpiring such as receiving knowledge about the abilities and character of the sun God nika, then the phenomenal battle between Luffy and Lucci as they are both in their awakened forms, as they cause so much damage to egghead island is truly a marvel, this is truly by far the best adaptation by Toei animation and I hope that it doesn't end there, as the series continues to go forth.
