Worst episode of the entire arc and anime story line
Episode 1132 of One Piece is a glaring example of how pacing issues continue to plague the anime. What could have been a thrilling follow-up to a climactic moment instead felt like a filler episode disguised as canon. The episode stretches a single scene far beyond its limit, with excessive reaction shots, reused animation, and awkward silence that kills the momentum.
The animation quality also dipped noticeably this time. Key moments lacked impact, with stiff character movements and minimal background detail. The dramatic confrontation that fans had been waiting for was reduced to slow glances and internal monologues that didn't add much value.
What's worse, the emotional beats felt forced. Characters stood around narrating their feelings rather than expressing them through action or dialogue. It felt like the creators were stalling for time rather than pushing the story forward.
For a series known for its emotional highs and epic fights, this episode was a letdown. If One Piece continues down this path of padding and uneven direction, it risks losing the energy that made it legendary. Episode 1132 is skippable at best - a frustrating installment that does little to reward loyal viewers.
