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.

Great and fun episode. Easily one my favourite so far in 2025. Manga adaptation is very good and creativity is superb in term of animation. All star episode with good pacing and filled with fun moments. You definitely enjoy this episode. I love the way they utilise the fight between every second they filled with great choreography and eye catchy Animation. Easily 10/10 episode a must watch episode for everyone. Anime wise it's easily top episode of the year so far. The quality they maintain is commendable and should be appreciated. If you are a fan of One piece or it's the which you should definitely give a try you love this for sure.

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.

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.

An amazing episode in every sense of the word - from the animation, to the story, the battles, and the stunning visual effects.

It's hard to describe just how incredible it was, especially after feeling a bit let down by the previous episode due to the slow pacing and the fight between Luffy and Kizaru.

However, this episode more than made up for it, delivering an absolutely legendary battle between a Yonko and an Admiral.

I also really enjoyed the fight between Zoro and Lucci, as well as Bonney's confrontation with the Marines.

The manga adaptation was handled brilliantly, with no unnecessary dragging, which gave the episode a truly special feel.

I was also thrilled by the noticeable improvement in Toei Animation's quality - the six-month wait was definitely worth it.
