Excellent episode.
An amazing opening. It is catchy, nostalgic, happy go lucky and sad.

The opening alone was worth it.
Episode was full of some funny moments bit I found the animation distracting.
But who care about the episode with this fantastic opening!?
Surprisingly decent opening. I'm a little shocked by how much I liked the song, went along pretty well with the opening. Also judging from Toei's past with things, I wonder if we'll have fillers of the other SH's "training"?!
Side-note: Pretty good episode.
My review of this episode will be posted tomorrow morn'.
As I hoped, the opening did not spoil anything (especially chapter 592)
! I hope we see a filler of the straw hats reaction after reading the newspaper of Ace's death. I definetely want to see Mihawk saving Zoro from the baboons.
I think Techno is fine. (It worked for Opening 10 did it not? If it can be called techno.) So I really liked the opening.
Also, the moment when Luffy ran up to Ace, and he jumped and kicked Luffy off the cliff was funny.
Made these Gifs of the New Opening through Gifsoup. Two Things First:
I apologize for the seemingly low quality of the Gif itself, it was from a high-quality Youtube Video.
I also apologize for the Gifsoup watermark on the lower right-hand side, you need to upgrade your account to remove that, and I don't feel like shelling out money for something like that right now.

Please Enjoy.
I myself like the third one down the best. The image of the Sunny, alone on a beautifully dark archipelago is just so calming.
The episode was so much fun to watch and was funny as hell! I already commented on the opening and overall it was a great package. Everything was done to my liking.
This flashback is a great break from all the sadness and melancholy of the war. It's just really vibrant.
My goodness, what a fun episode.
Hmmm…I was expecting Dadan's voice to be deeper.
Woow what an episode….
There are too many things to highlight, music, pacing's dinamic, Inoue's renovated style, Usoop voice xD, awesome opening (animation not song <.<)...
JUST ONE PIECE.
Like years ago... flashback stories are definitly the best part of this show.
pd: Oh! I forgot, next week looks like a really surprinsingly good Kenji Yokoyama's chapter. o.o!
Opening song was rubbish.
Episode itself was really good, for the first time in a while.
@Mr.:
Hmmm…I was expecting Dadan's voice to be deeper.
We've been hearing her voice since episode 0..
Dang it! I keep trying to record my screen during the opening via software, but programs keep messing up.
Darkstorm, care to elaborate on the rubbish?
Wouldn't be a slap in the face if the new opening turned out being "What's Up People?" from Death Note Opening 2?
My favorite lyric from Fight Together:
"The new world is calling"
Fight Together is a pretty good song but probably has some of the best visuals of any One Piece opening. Very powerful and was I nostalgia'd hard with the flashbacks of the Strawhats. All in all a 'Looking back but still looking forward' kind of Opening.
The actual episode gets immediate recognition for putting two chapters into one episode. The pace is a little faster now. I think they realized it was a little slower than usual so more is put into one episode. Good on Toei. Words I never thought I would utter.
The new Opening didn't fail to disappoint me! It was awesome. A mix of joy,sadness and awesomeness. I loved that bit with Luffy clinging on the tree. I really like this opening. One of the best so far.
This has got to be one of the funniest episodes of One Piece ever.
Even the filler was good, especially the part when the bandits try to mug Luffy.
Opening song was rubbish.
The lyrics are alright when you understand what they mean.
Fight Together
Let’s set out on our journey before dawn
To greet our unseen tomorrows
We have no regrets in our resolve
(Oh I know what I’m supposed to do)No matter what kind of trials lie ahead,
Nothing can stop my beating heart
There is only one place to go
(Fly to the light)Bonds forged through battle (That’s right)
I won’t let anyone break them (That’s right)
When I open my clenched fist,
I will find power thereLet’s start
The new world is calling
Now look
No matter how many seas separate us
I’m always standing by you
Don’t be afraid to advance
Don’t forget
We fight togetherI’ve never spoiled the memory
Of the vast infinite sky that I looked up to that day
We’ve come a long way
Each with our own pledge in our heart
There is no doubt
There are things we must carry with usThe sun will rise
And shine equally on even our sorrows
I believe in
The future that will become one piece someday,
Let’s go find it together
You’re irreplaceable
Don’t forget
We fight together
Now, Ace doing the Bellemere-ghost-pushing to Luffy? XD
I just hope this opening won't overwhelm the next opening for the
! timeskip.
Atleast for me.
! Just like the correspondign manga volume, I don't think they'll make a separate opening the moment the timeskip starts. Instead, it'll probably hold over until Fishman Island starts up.
I personally really like the new opening. I've always liked her previous songs as well, but I was worried she may make it too poppy for One Piece, but I think it was subtle enough to work and fit the mood. But I liked the animation even more.
The episode was pretty good. I'll be waiting for the end of the flashback, because it starts off a bit slow.
Also, I wonder if we'll get any filler before the time skip or not.

! Is very probable that the series will change the name when the timeskip occurs. Something like One Piece New World. So, probably it will have a different opening.
The episode was a bit meh for me. I really really could care less about Ace and Luffy as kids. I would much much rather see the training of the Straw Hats in detail. I would especially love it if we get to see some Dragon Nico Robin scenes

That's… just really horrible.
Anyway, in the steaming pile of crap that is this anime, this episode was one of the flowers that rarely grow out of it. The new opening was really touching and everything that was filled made complete sense. My favourite part was Luffy calling Dadan "Ossan".
Not a bad opening, even though I hoped for a little more foreshadowing for the flashback.
Best part of the episode.
I really liked this episode, good animation, good music, a lot of funny moments and its great to see kid Luffy again, loved the new opeaning too. Some thing tells me the anime will be doing this arc a lot better, though I enjoyed the arc in the manga too.
aw man, for some reason i really thought we would be seeing sabo this episode. i've been wanting to see him animated forever, but i'm glad he was in the opening.
as for the episode, it was entertaining and i liked the music choice. i don't know why but something looked off about dadan–-art wise, or maybe i just forgot what she looked like in the manga?
Nice opening is nice. It seems like they are taking their time animating this flashback which is perfectly fine with me. There's a lot of room for implied filler in this arc and personally I would like to see it fleshed out a little more than the manga was able to do.
Well for jpop I didn't expect much so the song is alright just some regular Amuro but damn did it make me teary!!! that montage!!! Seeing all of the mugiwaras, Sabo Ace and Luffy made me reallllly happy TT_TT
As for the episode itself all I remember is that chapter was funny. I kept laughing here too so guess all is good nothing big to complain about for once. Bring on Sabo!
edit:aight that shit is growing on me its the images they automatically put me in a disgusting "I loveee you guys" mode.
I approve of opening 14.
Well, I really like the animation and I really like the song but somehow I can't get a right feeling with this song as an One Piece opening.
Great job for both part standing alone though
I'm very happy with the song and the episode. Nice animation, Luffy is a-dorable, Ace is obnoxious and makes me want to kick his a$$ off a cliff (don't be messing with my chibi-Luffy, kid!) and Dadan has the proper mix of bad-assery and secret inner marshmallow. Nicely done.
great episode, great opening, what more can i say ? two thumbs up !!
honestly?
one of my favorite episodes of the series right now,
who knew that after all the attempts of all the Buggy filler that Toei can actually put together something funny :)

Best part of the episode.
i totally agree. this cracked me up lol. I dont remember seeing this scene in the manga. If it's filler it's really good.
Also want to say that the quality of the animation for this episode is consistently good.
Ok time for ma thoughts on the ep.
First we start with "Fight Together". Great animation, great song, great beat, great visuals.
Episode wise: Hilarious.
Luffy calling Dadan "pops" was priceless. They did drag out the episode with some implied fillers, but that's usually where the comedy was. The flash backs with Ace asking what people would think if Gold Roger had a son, fit perfectly with the situation it was presented in.
Where the episode ended was fine, but I longed for more just so I could see Sabo animated. But, anyways, very enjoyable episode.
Next: Enter Sabo! The Boy From the Grey Terminal!
Preview: http://www.fujitv.co.jp/GPplayer/e/GPplayerJMe.html?anime/onepiece/110417onepiece&type=flv
I am actually SUPER excited for next weeks episode.
Love the opening!
Amazing episode, as expected from Inoue and it also looks like this arc will be bringing humour back to the series.
Heh, just watched the episode and Magura and Dogura are really voiced by Sanji and Usopp. That was a pretty funny surprise.
The opening is beautiful
and hey
! Dragon's ship spotted :D
This has probably been mentioned before but I have to say it again. Dadan's Face when she realized it's Garp knocking on her door was just priceless
So when the Flashback came out in the Manga I wasn't that excited. I mean don't get me wrong, it was nice to know the background of how Luffy and Ace met and stuff. But it just didn't feel like anything that I really have to know. (yeah i know it's blasphemy )
Thus I wasn't so excited to see it in the Anime too. But this episode proved me wrong. It got me hooked and I cant wait to see the next episodes :wub:
For me it's hands down the best opening ever for One piece. There's not a single thing I would change.

It's Shanks ship, luffy became happy and touched
the and they laugh at him.
Opening for all who want to rewatch/watch it's pretty epic!! :)
Thanx now I can finally make an MP3 for this song.
Very nice opening, brings back a lot of memories.
Episode was amazing, everything from animation to fillers. (and i usually hate fillers)
They really worked hard on both the opening and the episode! Hopefully they will continue to do so.
first really good episode in a while. but will toei ever put a good song again in the openings? it's getting worse and worse. don't tell me that shit is from a popular band!
