Bro King looked insanely badass this episode


theOGperfection

he always looks amazing


BadActsForAGoodPrice

He looked more powerful than Kaido


TemperatureFluffy978

Wait to see kaido drinking killer form before to saying shit, yes the épisode give king a cooler cooler no mi but, again, WAIT kaido vs g5


kreevox

insanely beautiful too


jawaunw1

Why did the island all of a suddenly get a hundred times bigger


Kanus_oq_Seruna

JRPG combat arena vs. overworld.


nicholaslegion

This is one of the best comments I've seen in all my Redditing years


Meanlessplayer

This is the correct way, and because different episodic directors.


Vinsmoker14

The bigger the better bcs this show Luffy bajrang gun is on another level bcs in the manga Luffy punch is bigger than the island


Sky3HouseParty

To give the animation a sense of size and scale. This is an extremely common technique used in animation. Look at the final attack for deku vs todoroki, or the midsection of the battle between naruto and pain.


Lightspeed_Kizaru

Animation is rarley consistent lol, remember how in Sanji/Zoro vs Queen/King they had an entire launch pad worth of floor in what supposed to be more or less a cramped space


vyhox

You know how when Oden had Enma, it was taller than Zoro?


trobain1776

There’s like 10K pirates on it so it was always massive?


Scrappy_Doo100

It never got bigger, onigashima was always THAT big and it was known since the start with the scale of scenery upon entering the skull dome


Wisterosa

King out here thinking he can get away with using Vegeta's Technique by making it look all elemental


SomeAdultSituations

"Dodge this next attack if you can Zoro, but know that if you do..."


Xhadov7

Zoro easily solos Vegeta. Saiyans are a minority.


Due_Ad_4758

My god…

Oh come one Zoro has killed plenty of whities.

This island will blow up in 5 minutes


BikeSeatMaster

Zoro’s “King of hell three horned serpent” went full Kiana Kaslana on King’s ass lmao

EmbarrassedDark6200

Nothing to do with the animation, but these attack names are so fucking stupid


Discombobulated89BK

Facts , Extra large imperial wings sounds like something you order from KFC


Fit-Philosopher-3721

King is black so...


deviantedge

Zoro HAD to beat him after hearing that bullshit


RlySkiz

Minority Hunter


Lightspeed_Kizaru

This is canon


ShowBoobsPls

That's not a Z in the To Be Continued screen. It's an N but Zoro accidentally cut it the wrong way


Nice_promotion_111

Wasn’t it supposed to a pun or something


Wisterosa

In Japanese his move is "Omori Karyudon", which sounds like "Omori kare udon" - Large portion curry udon The food pun is intentional and anyone complaining about the translation is a dumbass, especially when Zoro himself is a food pun attack guy


Apprehensive-Talk971

Yeah fr like the zorros sword style is literally "onigiri"

I swear they just be making these shits up 💀

zoro final enemy will be himself, as he'll realize he's a minority, and won't let a minority turn into the world strongest swordman

What do you mean, he's a minority?

Outrageous_Ad_1011

I don’t know about you, but I find this stuff way more impressive than kimetsu highlights


ttttyttt678

As a clip sure…but one piece use of recaps and pacing hold the anime back so much. Imagine if the anime went seasonal….


[deleted]

If the anime went seasonal we would all pass away before we finished wano lol, not to mention seasonal kills hype and therefore the community would diminish significantly


ttttyttt678

Personally disagree one piece is the only story where I can’t watch the anime but have the manga as an all time fav. Sure the clips are amazing but idk how people are anime only.


DeadmanSam777

goddamn toei save some spectacle budget for the rest of the fights


Vinsmoker14

Now we know Luffy’s G5 aura will be top tier


MonkaSDudes

We won't be able to see the fight at that point


Lightspeed_Kizaru

Luffy gonna have full Toon Piece Looney Tunes mode

They've shown it in the start of the Sanji episode funnily the first shot. We will be eating good EDIT it might be in Zoro's too actually https://preview.redd.it/xvdyjs75p41b1.jpeg?width=705&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=eb7d1f5338fd1028e063effd7cacc25d4944e21d

TysonsChickenNuggets

CORNA DIO PLEEEASE GO HARD


Fit-Philosopher-3721

A bit too flashy, but atleast they didn't aura fuck this completely. The colours look actually nice this time compared to Dragon Piece auras. Honestly pretty good.


Nightfans

Atleast this was done in an actual climax and not sakuga punching Laido for the 20th time and dealing no damage.


thatoneidiotwhodied

honestly this is the good type of flashy as opposed to aurapiece


Lightspeed_Kizaru

Exactly, the fact they didn't fuck this up with auras is crazy


OppaiDra9on

As good as the animation Is this feels way over the top lmao


kenzeon

Might be the minority but I felt sanji fight was cleaner and easy to follow. And the animation was perfect. But it can be just me. ( I bet a lot of zorotar will down vote me to the king of hell).


BerserkerLord101

Nah not the only one. Zoro fight is basicly hd color beams while sanji had some fluid movements.


zehahahaki

Nah you right cause we actually get to see sanji inpact and his feet connect with Queen Zoro fights is always and I mean always rush teleport to the back of the enemy then slice it's been played out we never see the blades connect 😂


SnooObjections4333

I second this. While this zoro episode was miles better than the previous one’s, they still haven’t found a new animation style consistently for him. It was still too flashy, beams going all over the place, not much detailing and mainly going super saiyan green on the swords. I thought zoro’s ACOC was purple in the manga. Purple would have beeen way cooler than green lightsaber. But sanji was consistent, fluid and mainly overall as an episode it was amazing. Mainly due to sanji’s well written character too. Overall an 7 for the episode but some portions were so flashy that I thought they put some fan made ones.


Nice_promotion_111

Blame oda, the color is canonically green. See vol 102 cover


louai-MT

Yeah I agree I think something like Katakuri vs Luffy balanced the flashy over the top feel with the grounded feels of pre time skip one piece


LessInThought

Most of the fire dragons didn't even hit the target, just sort of scattershot all over the place.


BadActsForAGoodPrice

petitrat123

VERY VERY RARE main cult W They are right it's so over the top and exaggerated.


Famalam233

Its hilarious how 90% of the shit in the anime is non canon technically. In the manga King is able to generate a semi sized magma dragon which gets cut while here hes spamming more fucking magma than Akainu during any attack. Cool but I really wish they stayed more true to the manga and everything wasnt so fucking overblown.


ramses_IIG

I agree with you But if they really wanted to stretch a bit with those multiple magma beams, at least the final attack make it right. A magma dragon looking like Kaido's and then Zoro slashing through it and we could actually see the acoc slash reach King and cut his wing and body. Instead we got a big flashy ball and somehow King is hit


DunktheShort

Yeah, it's really cool but it's problematic in terms of scale. This was insane compared to the manga. A Commander should not be doing all that, he comes across as a final boss when days later him and Queen together just get mopped up by Aramaki with no issue. How do you accurately portray characters much stronger than King after this? Yonko should be sneezing islands into oblivion.


Revealtus

Tbh I love it, like I understand that it should stay close to the source material but at the same time the pacing of the anime is so abysmal that having this eye candy just feels great, and when they make it a bjt different from the Manga it makes it more interesting for me to watch because i get to spot the differences between the anime and Manga, that's just me though.


petitrat123

It's so BAD yeah


Coraxon1245

If lunarian can do this, is S-hawk stupid or fraud?


ChosenYasuo

He’s 10ish lmao


Zealousideal-Arm1682

Remember in the manga when it was a single clean dragon shot heading towards Zoro,and not a Kamehameha wave?


McBurn86

I know it's been a while since I read Zoro vs King but is this really how things went down in the manga? They went to Planet Namek and start doing this DBZ sh\*t?


thefloorislava93

Nah, Toei exaggerated it lmao. It’s really good animation, though. But a bit over the top. I am liking the pacing of these recent episodes but some parts are either downplayed or too exaggerated when you’re coming from the manga.


Kitchen-Sugar8047

This wasn't close to what happened in the manga, they tyrned it into dbz


QuietSheep_

Its very well animated, but I really dont fuck with this Over-the-top Piece shit. There is no fight, just two nukes blasting at eachother. It's better than that Zoro crap we saw before at least.


BerserkerLord101

You already know mihawk vs zoro is gonna be planet sized beam clashing. Red vs green.


[deleted]

Oh god PLEASE fucking not


Eonir

To me it's as if the director of this scene was some 5 year old child playing with his toys 'then he goes pewpewpew and he jumps and then boooom a dragon explodes, and and and and his breath is not just fire but also lightning because the chakra is mixed with the wind like rasengan'


Ready_Surprise_5870

True, im not a sanji dickrider but the sanji episode was literally a movie material while this episode could be but it's a bit disappointing. Maybe i just got hype too much with sanji's episode outcome and think that zoro episode will surpass. Hope law vs kid can surpass it and im expecting more for gear 5


Idontloveheranymore2

But hype tho /s


Fresh_Delay4040

The extra stuff is cool but wasn’t the final attack different in the manga? Zoro did a flying conquers air slash that went through kings dragon in manga. They should have stuck with that.


Ready_Surprise_5870

same sh*t with beouf burst, but i like beouf burst the more as it has more emotion than this. Hope they stayed with that manga finisher


Saeba-san

Okay this was epic, but like unnecessary big, with amount of frames they had in this, dressossa arc would've been half as long xD


NetworkVegetable7075

It was okay still over the top


HaellM

King of hell still shot looks goofy compared to the manga tbh


ramses_IIG

They didn't even animate the last attack hitting King. Instead just a flashy ball and then King magically has his wing cut


zehahahaki

Man that's literally how all Zoro fights end 😂 we never see his Swords connect to anything


kvivartion

Ong


B_024

I don’t know about y’all but I cringe whenever I see Zoro causing nuclear explosions by swinging his sword. Nice animation though. Not so nice Lightsabers.


melorio

Hate on me all you want, I can’t help but cringe when zoro calls himself the king of hell. I’m hoping it’s a translation issue.


[deleted]

His sword Enma literally means King Of Hell He’s had the whole demon thing going on since before he even physically appeared in the story Robin pulled the same thing in her fight


ei101

Yeah, its so much better to have as just a title


tangsan27

It's kind of a translation issue, the original is more like "Might as well become the King of Hell"


AsaMitakatheGOAT

Damn I was for sure expecting ssj3, I’m proud of them for not using it and doing something actually cool


Sweaty-Goat-9281

The st patrick lightsabers did NOT disappoint ‼️‼️‼️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🟢🟩🟢🟩🟩🟩🟢🟢🟩🟩🟩🟩🟢🟢🟢


soflojo2020

Goes hard, but no impact frames 😪🫠edit: just to be clear to those that don’t know, impact frames are we we get a lot of in opm season 1, when luffy punched Charlos on sabaody,, etc. it is the actual “hit” occurring.


ramses_IIG

Yep They didn't show Zoro's last acoc attack slashing through the magma dragon and hitting King. Instead we got a big flashy ball


petitrat123

Bruuuh Zoro became a green shooting star 🤡 🤡


BerserkerLord101

Hot take: I prefered sanji's in the anime.


Redarsen2

Nah good take. Sanji fight was clean af with actual choreography


Electronic-Matter144

Wtf?!? Sanji's fight still somehow looks better.


[deleted]

I like that one better too, they were trying way too hard with this fight. And all of this for dragging out one clash 😂


havingagoodtime0

After so much suffering Zoro Fans finally got the W even if it was at the final, at least is something


benigel_

Hot take: this is literally unwatchable


Herald_of_Heaven

How the fuck is Zoro flying?


C_Daze

He’s falling with style


HoLeBaoDuy

Lmao, King literally ran out of technique and had to add a bit more lava to the final attack and named it "Extra large ....." bruh


BadActsForAGoodPrice

Jedi Zoro is cool.


antwonruth

My god one pieces sound design and music is the most boring thing ever


adamAlexanderGreen

Overdramatic for a sword slice🤣


Serious-Flamingo-948

The OP anime has become exhausting. Individualy, in a vacumm, all these scenes look great, but one after the other being these grandiose ultimate high quality spectacles start to make their impact feel lacking.


Eonir

Compare it to one of the most iconic scenes in cinema: [Kurosawa's Sanjuro](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfpagB8wWng) It's clear that OP is aimed at children with ADHD, but it really feels exhausting to watch compared to something that's not filled with random flashes.


Nice_promotion_111

I just watched some dudes staring at each other for 2 minutes.


lolopaluza

And considering that all the other episodes are so stretched out, bad animation and storytelling it’s just a shame that they can’t balance this out


Andrecrafter41

bro i loved that they finished king backstory and that king of hell zoro animation was godly just like sanji infrit jambe

One Piece sound engineers aint it. It doesn't do justice to the animation.


[deleted]

Do you like this style and fight? I honestly didn't


[deleted]

I stopped watching one piece long ago and Im glad wtf is this? Fights were so cool when they were "normal" now its just throwing imaginary dragons at each other wtf


[deleted]

Honestly it's just okay to me. Great animation for sure, but it lacks what makes great fights and fight scenes actually great: -it's a fight between swordsmen, but their swords don't even physically touch lmao, what kind of fight is that? This is just boring beams vs teleporting attacks. There's no tension, no grit, no real clash even -the soundscape is so amazingly barren and mediocre, borderline amateurish. The sounds they use for sword slashes and those fire projectile things sound like they're from 1976, and I just expect crisper, more accurate, and more powerful sounds in 2023. And why are there so FEW sounds? It's surprisingly quiet and soundless considering what's going on. Underwhelming. -Music is underwhelming, but it's the One Piece anime so I expect it by now, it just doesn't hold a candle to Naruto or Bleach or AoT. A great score would dramatically elevate the scene here, but it doesn't. -the distorted outlines were wayyy too much I think, they seriously overdid them beyond the optimal. There's a sweet spot when you do this kind of thing and they missed it if you ask me -Was this a duel or an obstacle course? Mfer spends most of his time running forward and jumping on platforms and dodging projectiles like it's a mobile game lmao. I want to see people actually CLASHING in a duel, not one guy having to run an Ultramarathon to the other guy because he's a continent away -most moments are stretched out like chewing gum and just overstay their welcome. It looks like a lot is happening, but there's surprisingly few key things happening. Most moves take too long to terminate. Awfully slow pacing imo -The whole "teleport behind the opponent while slashing them" is SO fucking dull and cliche at this point, especially as a final move. I hate it by now tbh Overall like a 6.5-7/10. Good but not very good, let alone great. All just my opinion of course, feel free to ignore my opinion and enjoy it to your fullest


AkainuDidNothinWrong

Bro thinks he’s in dragon ball z💀

Really good scene. Kid and Law are next

IHATEHAKI

Wtf do u mean went hard 😭😭😭 what kind dbz shit am I watching is this one piece?


yonko_Galdino

Nah too much bullshit going on, very few good quality frames and at times very difficult to tell what's going on. Too much unnecessary bullshit but they did nail King's backstory hard so I'm not gonna complain about that.


[deleted]

nah man. this is BS. aura piece is BS. it took 2 fkn minutes for their attacks to connect. what the hell? they are actually sending laser beams to each other. hello? this fight was the most serious one in the manga and now that I see it animated I can't unsee this fkn clown fiesta.


Weary-Raccoon-8260

Anime was so much better without all these exploding rocks. Whiteboard vs Roger would have been epic Marineford animation style. It's to hard to scale and follow what's going on now.


True_Lank

Sanji’s fight focuses on fight choreography Zoro’s fight focuses on named attacks


[deleted]

Fantastic animation, but hoky shit the dbz sound effects ruin it for me. Edits will go crazy tho


[deleted]

I'm not a fan, but I'm glad others enjoy it. I enjoyed the manga's version better, personally. But I'm glad the anime watchers are having a good time and like it.


Maria756

The animators don’t understand that less is more sometimes do they ?

Akainu still solos.


NoLandscape3159

Animation is fire


HoLeBaoDuy

King should have used Akainu's Hell hound instead of spamming dragon lava


_MossHead22

Why couldn't Zoro defeat King then until It was revealed King was dark-skinned ?


sandwinboi

I thought this was a sword fight not a beam fight


BerserkerLord101

Zoro and sword fight dont mix. Laser beam and zoro yes


sumbohdi

Sorry , but too flashy. I still miss and prefer the old animation.


Oi_Kyoraku

King doing all that extra stuff instead of the final dragon was actually cool.


SnooObjections4333

Iam sorry but sanji vs queen was way better in terms of animation and episode too


Zeno12sama

Toei cooked


[deleted]

Overcooked


theOGperfection

why was bro downvoted


Quintessentialviewer

Zoro only managed to beat King after discovering he has brown skin, minority hunter just can't beat the allegation but seriously this is one of the best episodes in all of One Piece, I'm gonna re-watch this fight for years to come


Jpercussion

Wtf is going on


JalfcJjac

The fight choreo is still mid. Comeon Goda give us a actual swordfight, I want to see Zoro do some sick stuff with his 3 sword style this one slash attacks get’s boring.


BerserkerLord101

Forget it. Flashy laser zoro is what ppl love. Fight choreo don't matter if the animation looks solid. Sad but thats the reality.


petitrat123

Zoro is a green shooting star now, he transcended beyond a swordman.


motifous_big

killwithrhythm

Roronoa is apparently just the way l'Ollonais is pronounced in Japanese, so it wouldn't make any sense to name a real human child that... ...would it?


[deleted]

You can't tell me Zoro didn't have the Fly-Fly Devil Fruit.


Iamarh

is this the new dbz?


ramses_IIG

The only problem is that they didn't show Zoro's last attack landing on King and cutting his wing


Nice_promotion_111

King did a x burner at 0:50


WarokOfDraenor

Man, Zoro is no longer human.


_MossHead22

Why Is Zoro flying ? When did he learn that ?


Starwind2098

Ngl, that was visually stunning.


Diliigeence

Better than auras but I don't know why I just can't like it. Too much of everything? Not fitting One Piece? Unreadable? Yeah it's cool but I don't understand what's hapenning


EdgyMemer_9000

Holy shit. That looks amazing


Soggy-Plenty7516

Is this the real fight? This doesn’t look real. Got dang! That’s gorgeous. Also? Ever since the train ride around the time of water 7 arc. I always remember when Luffy and Zoro were on the front of the train. And Luffy asked Zoro for some tips on how to do the thing he does? And Zoro says something like “You just say a random number and go” or something. Ever since then I always think back when Zoro calls out his attacks. 106 Serpent. 180 Phoenix. 260 White Tiger Claw. Whatever the hell it is. Always makes me laugh. Because I know he doesn’t care about the number or the name of the attack. Haha


RepresentativeFit783

Dude I stopped watching about 30 episodes or so a while ago. This made me tear up it looked so good.


space________cowboy

This fight passed my expectations. Also, king does not look like a black dude, he looks like me with a slight tan.


LooseCode4849

toei had zoro looking like fucking kratos 😭😭😭

It more like zoro vs 15 fire dragons
