The first one that's properly and almost fully drawn in the new Wano art style! And it looks gorgeous.

You know, considering the whole legend that a carp that jumps over the waterfall transforms into a dragon.

Ah, yes, the very first chapter of Wano in the manga shows off a bunch of carps jumping up a waterfall.

The high-tempo music when the Sunny sails into the koi waves is very, very fun!.

I've always thought it felt a bit forced and random in the manga version.

The random octopus that makes Japanese kabuki theater (?) sounds is another thing that works so much better in the anime.

The Japanese-art style water waves look so pretty when animated!.

Brook being Brook, of course, a panty joke was tossed in.

I've always liked this from the filler episodes, of the newer Straw Hats slowly learning about prior adventures.

Brook actually expresses some interest on Vivi, apparently having heard of her from the others.

This episode also has a bit of a recap of the revelations about Wano from the Zou arc, but it's a lot shorter and feels a lot more relevant to the upcoming arc.

Whether it's an error or a spoiler or if he has a prosthetic a la Akainu in Film: Z, we'll see eventually.

It just shows the Whitebeard division commanders getting sucked into a giant Dragon-Ball-esque spirit bomb Black Hole. We actually get to see the Grudge/Payback War in the anime! I think this is less of a showcase of events that actually happened and more of a symbolic one, but hey, we get to see Blackbeard doing some sky-quakes and black holes and Marco turning phoenix.But on the other hand, it's also it's kind of one of the more-criticized parts of the One Piece anime that any time they could pad out an episode with scenes from a previously-produced episode, they will. I mean, I haven't seen the Paramount War in full animated format, so it's nice to hear Whitebeard and Ace and Marco speak some of their more famous lines there. That said, basically half this episode is just a recap of the Paramount War.Marco's blue-and-yellow phoenix form looks so, so much more vibrant and pops out compared to anything else in the series in colour, huh? I think out of any other character, Marco is extra-memorable in animated format.
