Rogue Punk Records would be a very interesting villain cause it would not just be the standard sci fi AI trope, it would also be a literal manifestation of Vegapunks inner conflict which is basically a struggle over goals vs morality, his goal was always knowledge and furthering science and he was willing to aid evil organizations like the WG in order to further that goal. Now he will have to face against that part of himself, literally embodied by his own big brain.

Wow didnt expect to see Smoker at the end!

The weirdest moment in the entire series for me was the scene with Usopp presenting his Jolly Roger, and it had a nose on it. Like why add that detail when there isnt anything special about Usopps nose in this version? i mean craniums dont have noses, so what was up?

"Nobody dies in One Piece"
Live Action: "I guess we'll have to do something about that."

Pell is 100% going to die in this version.

I laughed at loud at the Sanji flashback when pirate Zeff boarded their ship and went straight to their kitchen to season their cooking. It had a genuine Monty Python-feel.

@DollarScholar He acknowledges he's a liar? A nod to pinocchio or simply to manga Usopp?

The nose on the flag is kinda tiny though, nothing like manga usopp.

Any takes on this? it still confuses me lol

I think the Mariejois warlord meeting would be a great final scene for S2, introducing Doflamingo and Kuma and teasing Blackbeard with Lafittes arrival.

Im now on my second watch through. All the closeup shots on the chararacters are really starting to annoy. Besides that, almost everything is better on the second viewing, Noticing alot of funny details like Coby cleaning Alvidas mace with a toothbrush lol.

Another detail i noticed: who was the second candle that Zoro lit for? was it for Mr 7 lol?

Having this Sanji with a british accent call out his attacks with french names felt weird and out of place to me. Unless you have read the manga that part would probably really confuse you.

I think the Nami flashback was the weakest out of all of them. It just felt like a cheesy commercial

Also Buggy is the type of pirate to end up in this situation. Just given current manga plotpoints, this is very much in line.

Honestly to me the whole thing with keeping Buggys head in a bag almost felt more like they drew from Laws DF powers and the whole Ceasars heart thing. The showrunner Matt Owens has said that Law is his favorite character so it adds up.

I loved this episode. They went for a more suspenseful tone and I here for it. Kuro stole the episode for me. The actor did a great job conveying his menace. Reading some of the comments, I can understand folks not liking Usopp not getting a moment. But, in my mind he did. He didn't run away and did everything in his power to help Kaya.

his "i wont run away" moment had very little impact because the show had toned down the cowardly side of Usopps character and we had never really seen him run away that much at that point.

the actors who played Sham and Buchi stole the show for me. They were simply hilarious lol
