Luffy vs. Kizaru! A Fierce Kaleidoscopic Battle

Can't believe there isn't a single user review for this episode yet! I see a lot of people online complaining that the animation was "too cartoonish" or "unbearable"... but did people forget that Oda himself said that's exactly what Gear 5 is meant to be?

After a 6-month hiatus, some fans still aren't grateful for the masterpiece of animation we just got. Personally, I found it amazing. Sure, the pacing across the episode wasn't the best (typical for One Piece sometimes), but the glimpses of action we got were paired with incredible animation and top-tier sound design that made it all worth it.

Enjoy One Piece while we still have it. Moments like this won't come around forever.

I was completely captivated by this episode! We saw The battle between Luffy and Kizaru and it was intense and visually stunning. The animation was top-notch, and the action sequences kept me on the edge of my seat. I loved seeing the crew's teamwork and determination as they faced formidable opponents. Zoro and Lucci are fighting while Kizaru showed us new attacks fighting Luffy.

I enjoyed the animation to be honest and Zoro vs Lucci part was amazing I liked gear 5 when it started but i always hated those cringy childish tom and jerry sound effects .. And the overreactions of luffy , looks more oriented to a 7 year old than me .

I feel like I can't see an epic fight anymore , luffy vs kizaru should have been a goosebumps episode .

But instead I got luffy eyes popping out 5 kilometers when he sees 5 kizarus and laughes 40% of the fight .. Toei proved it could deliver , THE POTENTIAL IS REAL , but this is not what I want to watch .

Sad, Hopefully this gets fixed asap.

Genuinely the most stunning, creative animation I have ever seen in my life. I seriously cannot process this, the 6 month break is starting to show. One of my personal favorite Animators, Vincent Chansard, worked HEAVY on this episode, providing a 1 minute 45 second sequence of the most beautiful, colorful, and creative action sequences we'll see for a while. It is super unusual for an animator of his caliber to work on such a long cut, this might be the longest cut I have seen in his portfolio. Besides the animation, everything is top notch, I was thoroughly invested in parts even outside of the main fight, and I hope this director becomes more involved with the series, as he also directed episode 1112. 10/10.

In all my 5 years of binge watching one piece I have never been more happy to finally see some good quick hand to hand combat between Zoro and Lucci. Although I love one piece fights sometimes it can get a little repetitive with the Constabt 1080p quality impact frame clashes that last for 2 minutes. If any one piece or Toei animation executives or workers see this you should have let vincent chansard continue with his choreographed kuzan vs garp segment. Choreography is what catches our eye not constant flashy colors and impact frames all the time. Sincerely the majority of the one piece fans.
