I don't know if this was deliberate, but as I was watching this episode I had a single thought that every additional minute of 1075 kept reinforcing: "Holy shit, this is the PERFECT episode to show to a person who just finished the live action One Piece!"
See my partner had just finished the live action, so we fired up episode 1 of the anime, and her first comment was how ugly it looked (because of the old animation). lol. She also wondered who the white-haired person was on a recent shirt I bought. So yeah, screw it: The live action set the tone and the gist for the series, who the characters are, why they fight, what their goals are, etc. And 1075 is the perfect way to get a new fan caught up on where the story is and what's happening currently. They can go back and catch up on old episodes at their leisure if they choose.
I'm also glad the Anime reminded us what a detestable little weasel Orochi was before his demise. Just the little snippet in this episode made his beheading so cathartic...
