I'm not a huge fan of the song, but I won't be a complete fucking dumbass and say it didn't fit perfectly somewhat for this arc.
Oh gosh! I hope I didn't spoil anything!
Anyways, the animation was impressive.

Waiting for it to show up on One Piece official so I can watch it with subs. I'm interested in the lyrics.
I know the openings are rarely updated like the way other anime openings are (strangely, the last one did by unshading some of the ID characters), but if Toei does decide to do that I would like at the end of the war for it to show…
MAJOR SPOILERS
! An updated version of Blackbeard's crew and the image of Ace fading away in the final shot
That was like…. totally an ending but renamed opening_…_seriously.
Animation was sick though but still, didn't feel like I was watching something which gives you that upcoming war feeling :(
After watching it 5 more times, it's really grown on me. I love it.
Also when will the full song be out? I'd love to put that on my ipod.
i'll paste rest of shots here too

Did you capture these? Could you please get the rest of the players and make a screenshot of them? This opening is definitely a goldmine.
To be honest I was expecting more people to complain about the amount of time spent on Luffy/Ace spent on the opening. Glad not a lot of people seem to mind. It's nice relationship building even if it is just screenshots which was lacking in the manga when it was at this point in the anime.
I really dig this one. As many have said, it sets the tone nicely and it looks amazing.
Did it remind anyone of the
from DBGT? The video and audio both kind of did for me.I've only watched it twice and it's already one of my favorites. Can't wait for the full version to download.
They didn't show much but I liked the animation and the song this time fits.
Overall great opening.
I said this in another thread, but this opening has a very darker and sadder tone when compared to the others, especially since we are coming out of the 12th. But considering what happens in this arc, I reckon it fits.
I do agree it has a very "ending song." feel to it.
Goddammit, now I'm getting teary-eyed T_T
! Just thinking about what's going to happen when looking at that final bit of Ace and Luffy smiling at each other>
Definitely a great opening. Worth staying up till 4am for it.
The action shots were bloody amazing.

After watching it 5 more times, it's really grown on me. I love it.
I know, right?!
Even though I'm not "loving" it as of yet, the more I watch it, the more I like it.
I was really disappointed at first, but it's not so bad actually. Just really unexpected for me.
I appreciate that they didn't spoil ANYTHING (I thought they would include at least ONE major battle scene)…
! … instead they even go as far as giving anime only watchers false hopes at the very end :ninja: Me likes!
The only thing that really bothers me are those flashback shots from 1:38 onwards.
! Even though they are really nice, they just don't work for me without Sabo =/
I know, they couldn't possibly include him, but … it just feels so wrong.
It really felt much more like an ending than an opening. I think the song would have fit better for a post-War arc. It's very sentimental and reflective. I don't think it suits the crazy fast pace and desperate theme of the war. I'm almost inclined to say the last song was better if only because of the tempo.
I liked it. Definitely not as catchy as the other ones but I'm sure it'll grow on me.
@Ao:
AND FINALLY! NO shots of the straw hat partying or lying around or running along a goddamn horizon! any opening without those three things is fucking amazing!
What about the group shot?
If I can post, link to download of opening above: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=W89XBJSI
Very cool!
@JERK:
Why does all j-rock sound like cover bands of american music from ten years ago.
I know the japanese can make kickass hip-hop but why not rock.
Hmmm not sure - music is not an area I am an expert in.
Still have to hear this :( might try and look it up on my phone when I get a break.
Only disappointment for me would be the complete lack of Marineford fights and clashes that occur in this arc. I know someone else pointed this out as well. Still, it's a really great opening!

links are broken
This opening makes me really miss ending songs!
@Ao:
at the very least, now one piece has a 'big kids' anime theme.
most one piece intros are way to bouncy and childlike for me. like the song or not, at least it gives off the vibe that some deeper crap is actually happening in the series.AND FINALLY! NO shots of the straw hat partying or lying around or running along a goddamn horizon! any opening without those three things is fucking amazing!
Amen, brother! :)
<_< Did toei secretly scan this thread? … I vividly remember us talking about
how some of us miss the endings, look like that managed a opening that is like an ending....
It makes me feel sad seeing Ace & Luffy together like that...I like this opening.
! I think the opening is not very appropiate to the intense action of this arc, but the song is ver appropiete to one of the most important moments of this arc that is what happen to ace.
! Its really sad to hear that song and think in what is going to happen to ace and is more painful to see those happy moment of ace and luffy. This opening can make you cry if you know what is going to happen in this arc, specially if you see the last scene of the opening, its really sad U_U. I really get teary-eyed.

Hold on…That's strange...
What is strange? -_-
Hmm… The song didn't really mix in with the great action sequences that were showcased. They should have built some intensity and slowed down at the appropriate spots. I dunno... It just did not feel completely right.
Hmm… The song didn't really mix in with the great action sequences that were showcased. They should have built some intensity and slowed down at the appropriate spots.
Most of them matched wonderfully. Like Akanu's part.
I really liked the opening… and I really liked the last opening too.
In what way is this the worst ending ever?
It's certainly better than op12.
I am kinda disappointed that it's slow-paced, but it was still awesome!
Hmm… The song didn't really mix in with the great action sequences that were showcased. They should have built some intensity and slowed down at the appropriate spots. I dunno... It just did not feel completely right.
it's a slow song overall, so they matched them with the moments in the chorus when the singer is belting his voice out really dramatically.
if you watch the subbed version, they tried to fit the scenes with whitebeard and co. so they match the lyrics a bit as well. whenever there's a 'let's go!' part in the song, something dramatic happens onscreen.
This fits the arc perfectly, and not just the one part. Beyond the obvious one, it also seems very reflective of how Luffy is feeling throughout the whole arc to me. But maybe that's just me
This song really goes well with Ace & Luffy in general. I can totally
see myself watching this opening, though it will make me feel nostalgic all the time.

Just watched it a second time. Yeah, I see what you mean. Appropriate opening I guess. Could have done without the slidshows
Just saw it. It's not my favorite bht it's a good song and the animation is suiting for what's to come. 8/10
although WTF Vista was brown? Ithought he'd be like the stereotype of those European bodybuilders with the spandex and big mustache.
I don't like the song, it's neither sad, nor dynamic, which is a complete fail to me.
Animation quality in this opening is AMAZING, BUT it's tottaly meaningless.
! All of the flashback parts are TOTTALY failed because they cutted Sabo out like he didn't exist there, while he DID. All of what Oda showed before getting to Luffy's flashback was all abscure, and they just failed it by cutting him out mindlessly -_-
It does not fit with the arc. The war arc wasn't sad, it was adventurous and dynamic.
! Luffy feels sad AFTER this arc, not during it -_-
Fail, fail and fail.
thinking about it, this also fits Ace's emotional state throughout the arc as well
I like the part when luffy is running. -shot-
I have to think Luffy was going throughout quite a bit of emotional turmoil even before the end considering he was
! mercilessly pummeled and such throughout most of the arc and was pretty close to losing ace a few times before he actually did
@Al!naJames:
Fail, fail and fail.
Ok, Ok, we get it.
In other news, just watched it for like the 4th time, REALLY Like it. It fits so well.

! mercilessly pummeled and such throughout most of the arc and was pretty close to losing ace a few times before he actually did
Pretty much this.
! People tend to forget that this war is a complete disaster to Luffy. He's on a long fail streak and STILL can't accomplish shit here.
! Btw, Sabo in the opening at this point would be so wrong, we're not there yet, it would steal the focus. Another thing that people forget is that Luffy and Ace lived as two brothers for like, what, 7 years. It's not like Sabo was always there or their life together broke apart when he "died".
Not to mention that this arc still comes right off the heels of Luffy losing his entire crew right before his eyes, an event that wasn't all happy sunshine and rainbows for him.
Also, the song is clearly not as much about that as it is about how Luffy feels in my mind when you consider whayt he lyrics are like
I think your completely right Goty & Rin, solutes to the both of you.
Yeah, the crewmate thing is another good point. I think the scenes with the crewmates in the opening also highlight that. Especially the picture where they are all happy together, because that combined with the music really brings up a sense of looking back to a happier time in my eyes
So I tried to capture nice screencaps of Kuma, Doflamingo Moria and Mihawk. Here they are. Tried to make them wallpaper size but I don't know how to maintain their size when I upload them to photobucket.
!

!
!
If anyone wants, they can give me 10 minutes in Photoshop and I can remove the song subtitles from those screenshots.
I just don't see why some people are complaining, I thought it would be better anyways now that we aren't going to be hearing kaze wo sagashite…
I still think most people are misinterpreting the song, which is understandable if you don't speak japanese and are watching the version without subs. Because the lyrics are really about striving through adversity, not giving up, and clinging to hope. Yes, it''s slow, but that's because if you think about it, the whole arc (Possibly even going back to the end of SA actually) was really to put Luffy in his place so to speak, as well as Luffy trying to overcome that, and kind of bring him back to Earth after he kept getting away with really amazing feats time and time again, and also to show he is still human in a way
