So first off, after discussing the matter with Cinder, going forward we aren't going to be allowing links to unofficial episode streams in these threads. It's a similiar model to how we generally don't put up official discussion threads for new manga chapters until the Viz release drops each Sunday even though scans and translations are already floating around by then. Anyone who wants to find unofficial streams already knows where to look, I'm sure. Anyone who watches the episode prior to the Crunchyroll drop/dissemination is free to comment as always, but I'll be removing any actual pirate links. It's the sort of thing that has unfortunately gotten us into trouble in the past and we're acting out of an abundance of caution.
Now, onto the fun stuff:
Title: ''Believe in Momo - Luffy's Final Move!''
Chapters Covered: 1047
Episode Director: Nanami Michibata
Animation Director: Kazuya Hisada + Sota Shigetsugu (AD debut) + Shu Sugita (AD debut)
Watch It: www.crunchyroll.com/one-piece
Shigetsugu is credited on One Piece under the pen name of "HONE Hone". You might remember such sequences as Luffy vs. the Numbers and Luffy punching Kaido - Take #Whatever; he did them, and seems to be an action AD on this episode similar to what Yong-ce Tu does.
On top of that Opening 25 "Highest Point" by the band Owari no Sekai is debuting tonight and it's directed by the one-and-only Megumi Ishitani.
