      As EPIC and amazing as Luffy's punch was when it ripped through Charlos' face, i laughed at the same time, but for the wrong reason.

      Did that punch remind anyone else of A-ha's music video for Take On Me?

              What they did in the A-ha clip is called rotoscoping and an invention of the early 20th century. You film live action material and draw over it frame by frame. Toei is imitating that style with this punch and the movie 6 one as well. So It reminds you of A-ha because it's one of the most popular scenes of lots of clips / movies using this style. 🙂

                  The original Prince of Persia games used it, just with colour. ^_^

                      Rotoscoping was actually used in the One Piece short with Movie 2, Jango's Dance carnival. 🆒

                      And hell yes Take On Me is classic, I love the 80s.

                            The ending TKO punch did fade out to black and white. It actually lasted longer than this scene in the anime, too.

                              I had forgotten all about that final punch in movie 6. Still can't remember it.

                                      And both of them almost succeeded in defeating the crew.

                                            It got me too. I started playing the song in my head. Damnit. I probably would have never known about it if Family Guy hadn't used it in an episode.

                                              Not the first time I've heard the song ('tis among my parents' music collection), but this has to be the first time I've seen the video (but I'd heard that it was done comic-book style long before this OP episode was even made). Yeah, it does look quite similar. starts humming the song
