Powers on a Different Level! Luffy vs. Lucci!

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.

This episode is the reason why I hesitate to tell people to read one piece instead of watch it. You'll miss out on THIS. This episode has animation that literally shouldn't be possible to create, every part of the team killed it here. The director, the animators, everything. This episode has more personality than most shows in their entirety, and that's not to put down any other shows. The amount of creative liberties they took from 10 manga pages is unbelievable, and yes, this episode only adapted 10 PAGES, that's not even a chapter, and you wouldn't even notice if I didn't mention it. This episode is the standard for how you're supposed to adapt manga to an anime, and I will be thinking about this for years to come.

Episode 1100 of One Piece thrusts us into the heart of the clash between Luffy and the formidable Rob Lucci. The second round between the two is a crescendo of tension and breathtaking action. The animation perfectly captures the energy of the manga, with a visual style that makes every move and blow shine. The emotional intensity is palpable as Luffy confronts his old nemesis with renewed determination. The fight sequences are choreographed masterfully, keeping the viewer glued to the screen. This episode is a whirlwind of adrenaline and suspense, once again confirming One Piece's mastery in keeping fans on the edge of their seats.

I mean... I couldn't really believe what I was seeing cause it was just amazing. The effects, the animation, the framework... Everything was perfect, down to the last minute detail. It was so fun to see Gear 5 back, with such a fantastic action-packed episode. Though I kinda feel bad for Lucci cause he didn't stand a chance 😭😭. I could spend the whole day talking about it cause I'm still shocked from what I just watched. Akihiro Ota, Vincent Chansard and all the animation and storyboard team should be awarded for their work. What they did and have been doing in their latest appearances is simply passion and you can see how much effort was put into it . Overall, the best Egghead episode by a lot and one of the best of the entire series for sure. 10/10.

Toei back at it again with their fabulous animation! Great to see some of my favorite characters making a return in the anime. I have already read the manga up to the latest chapter, but seeing them back in the anime with their new powerups animated is just thrilling! It's amazing how well this arc is playing out already. It just started and it's already packed with action. I can't wait for a "certain person's" backstory to be animated (ifykyk). There's so many things in this arc that I can't wait to see animated, imo it's already better than wano(manga). Anyways keep up this great animation Toei.
