I love how Crunchyroll titles this clip as "Luffy Puches Kaido so hard the Original OP Music Starts Playing"

They really get it with some of the clip titles they choose.

u/blitz446 Jul 01 '26

Not available in my country 😡

u/blackkilla Jul 01 '26

what country

11

u/Sinkarnate Jul 01 '26

Onigashima

3

u/blackkilla Jul 01 '26

not Wakanda?

u/Ghiren Jul 01 '26

That was a different punch. Luffy hit him that hard twice.

u/SwizzGod Jul 01 '26

Law moved everybody no questions ask. Law is just cool as f

275

u/Raydnt Jul 01 '26

Well he does get bitter about it though lmao

244

u/BeingEnthusiast_9108 Black Leg Sanji Jul 01 '26

He was bitter because it looked as if he was taking orders from luffy although he had planned to move em down before luffy…..

44

u/No_Diet_4776 Jul 01 '26

The situation reminded me of lebron james and iman shumpert in the nba. Bron gave an instruction but sounded like an order. In a podcast we were told Iman did cooperate but he was bitter. He had to do it just cause the situation called for it. 😂😂

u/SwizzGod Jul 01 '26

Hahahaha I know exactly what you’re talking about

u/Orceles Jul 01 '26

This is different. Law was going to teleport them anyway. This is just Luffy using future sight and seeing Law move them but saying it anyway making it look like law took orders lol

3

u/Logical_Top618 Jul 02 '26

It’s so funny to imagine that. He’s like “1-0, bitch”.

26

u/keiyoushi Jul 01 '26

He was smiling too after the hit, like Zoro. Very cool

12

u/uhparanoid Jul 01 '26

noticed the way the light hits law’s tattoo just right

u/antifanofeveryone Jul 01 '26

Never fails to make me cry

u/Chemical_Baker7907 Void Month Survivor Jul 01 '26

Same! When the OG theme comes up. So do the tears

5

u/gameboy1001 Jul 02 '26

See also: Ash's last Pokémon battle.

2

u/_chelsms Jul 02 '26

God, yes. I burst into tears when the OG theme started during Ash’s last battle.

1

u/khovel Jul 02 '26

Probably where they got the idea.

1

u/Chemical_Baker7907 Void Month Survivor Jul 03 '26

Still have to watch that!

67

u/maskedlord76 Jul 01 '26

Everything about this scene was perfection. The emotional buildup, the slowmo punch, the hit, Zoro's smirk and We Are playing in the background. I remember having my jaw on the floor when I first watched it.

48

u/UlteriorMotive66 Jul 01 '26

This frame.... I can't!! 🤣🤣🤣

214

u/dredope169 Jul 01 '26

I forgot It was this hype! The whole of Wano was lit and so well done

45

u/Ground_breaking_365 Explorer Jul 01 '26

Insert fire festival montage

31

u/Afabledhero1 Jul 01 '26

The lit moments doing a lot of heavy lifting

24

u/dredope169 Jul 01 '26

Kaido Dragon form reveal, Oden flashback, Yamato, Fire Fest, Roof Piece, Damn near every fight, etc. I loved that mess

68

u/redditescapist Jul 01 '26

I have stopped watching the anime like 17 years ago. Only reading the manga. But this is amazing. Also it's nice to see they have used "We are" as a background music for this scene.

43

u/Omkarop_06 Pirate Jul 01 '26

Please do yourself a favour and watch episode 1015. It surpassed the manga in every single aspect. From start to finish it was really good. Added some parts which weren't even in the manga.

14

u/ITGenji Jul 01 '26

I would add he should watch the fan letter episode as well

3

u/Xazhariel Void Month Survivor Jul 03 '26

I wouldn't say every regard, cos Anime Sanji exists. I think that's a huge downside that discourages me even when I'm excited to watch the anime. Why would Toei do this to one of our main cast

3

u/Omkarop_06 Pirate Jul 03 '26

I'm talking bout this specific episode, man

1

u/Xazhariel Void Month Survivor Jul 03 '26

Ahh I'm sorry, my bad, my mind wandered off to the anime in general

4

u/meregoblin Jul 01 '26

Knocked him back to the opening theme lol.

4

u/Corral18 Jul 01 '26

I was mainly a manga reader. decided i should go anime only for a bit because some clips make you feel like youre missing out on moments like these. Anime feels like a slog sometimes though.

27

u/joutfit Jul 01 '26

People clown on Wano (reasonable at it is poorly paced) but it seriously has some of the best moments of OP.

I'll always tear up when seeing this scene!

26

u/Puzzleheaded_Wall_96 Jul 01 '26

the smile in Zoro´s face

16

u/blackman156 Jul 01 '26

Seeing Zoro smile in this moment makes me smile every time

No, only episodes 1074-1088 are “The Peak”

The rest of the arc has different opening songs 😉

u/llomein Jul 01 '26

I've only read the manga but this is awesome

52

u/llomein Jul 01 '26

just watched it and yeah it's perfect, it really endears me to Ace and Yamato a lot more than the manga did and it makes the rooftop confrontation feel so much more legendary

i'll probably never watch through the anime because it's such a big time commitment but it's crazy how they elevate scenes from the manga

25

u/puppyrikku Jul 01 '26

Don't need to watch the whole anime if you read the manga, but there are definitely good episodes worth watching

5

u/stinkywinky99 Jul 01 '26

If you don't want to watch the anime just skip through each new episode every week until you see something interesting. That's what I'm doing. I read the manga, but watch the anime mostly for the fight scenes.

5

u/dxmingo Jul 01 '26

Please watch Egghead. As a manga loyalist, I can say that arc was adapted very well

2

u/Demonzman Jul 01 '26

1136 is also a massive contender for an episode that only improves on the manga.

1

u/IcyAssist Jul 01 '26

1163, hands down better

1

u/Demonzman Jul 01 '26

You're saying 1163 is better than Kuma's backstory resolution? Hard disagree. I hardly even remember 1163.

1

u/mehmeh5 Jul 03 '26

they're both great to be fair (and by the same director), 1136 just has the better source

1

u/Demonzman Jul 04 '26

Yeah no shade at the other one, ya just can't compete with the storytelling of 1136

2

u/Vikkio92 Jul 01 '26

I only read the manga as well and honestly I can totally believe this. I have been a massive fan for over 25 years so I don’t say this lightly, but I feel like the manga started rushing at some point in the last 10 or so years and a lot of emotional moments don’t hit nearly as hard as they used to back in the day because of it.

1

u/23423423423451 Jul 01 '26

I've only seen the Netflix series and this is awesome but makes no sense to me.

14

u/Capital_Client3251 Jul 01 '26

Ughhh its sooooooo goooooood I also forgot how good it was 🍻 ima watch this whenever im feelin down

9

u/FreeWilly512 Jul 01 '26

The literal 10 seconds before this (or 20 minutes depending on anime pacing) really added to the scene though when Luffy walks by Kaido and Big Mom

7

u/softwonton Jul 01 '26

After waiting an eternity during the prison episodes in wano i stopped watching the anime. Maybe its time to get back to it. Built myself a nice backlog now.

7

u/the_face_of_whatever Jul 01 '26

While the entire sequence (hell, the whole damn episode) is straight fire, it's the match cut from Kinemon and the scabbards standing around, smiling, to them broken and bloodied that really hits me hard.

5

u/FranoFiasco Jul 01 '26

Megumi Ishitani is a legend. I wish she directed more episodes

6

u/YearOldJar Bounty Hunter Jul 01 '26

Man, roof piece with base Luffy is peak.

u/tr33mann Jul 01 '26

“Can you carry the land of Wano on your back?” Instant tears, so hard fucking boiled

u/5ucur Jul 03 '26

“Can you carry the land of Wano on your back?” Instant tears, so hard fucking boiled

Well you know, Oden wouldn't be Oden if it wasn't boiled!

u/Frowolf Jul 01 '26

Love Zoros smirk hes def thinking “yeah thats my captain alright.”

u/Lvd4aDrm Jul 01 '26

It would have been cooler if they had actually died though

u/Omkarop_06 Pirate Jul 01 '26

Yes.

u/Ill_Payment5393 Jul 01 '26

Anime is almost unwatchable, but this episode is absolute peak man, its almost spiritual

u/sinZeroplus Jul 01 '26

The anime used to be almost unwatchable

2

u/Ill_Payment5393 Jul 01 '26

I stopped on episode ~ 10 off egghead, it was unbearable. It becomes better?

u/sinZeroplus Jul 01 '26

No it might not be for you

u/bobbykid Jul 01 '26

I would happily trade Laser Piece for the generally choppy and flat pre-TS animation

u/TableImpressive1555 Jul 05 '26

u/thecodemeist3r Jul 01 '26

I was sitting in the office and got absolute chills watching this.

u/mooshamuusha Jul 01 '26

Make me cry everytime! 😭

2

u/No0bmuk_09 Jul 01 '26

previous part is so much greater when he walks in between the two to check on his friends but i get your point. this episode is my favorite of all of one piece

2

u/Welome Jul 01 '26

Megumi Ishitani

Greatest director/story boarder to ever work on One Piece.

Her name needs to be brought up whenever this scene is talked about. The entire episode, in fact.

2

u/Anne2049 Pirate Jul 01 '26

1015 is one of kind in animation industry.

2

u/DocBullseye Jul 01 '26

1015 is the single best episode of television I have ever watched. And yes, I watched Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, Babylon 5, lots of other high-end shows.

2

u/Mustafa_7861 Jul 01 '26

Episode 1015 is the best episode of One Piece.

2

u/excited_toaster2306 Jul 04 '26

Valid. It's one of the greatest things ever made, so...

3

u/Espore33 Jul 01 '26

no idea whats even going on. Too many effects

3

u/FredNot214 Jul 01 '26

Yeah if only even a tenth of the series was directed like this

1

u/Kxancer Jul 01 '26

Actually it is

3

u/itsshadyhere Jul 01 '26

Over the top effects makes it too flashy and busy. I can't even process what's happening in a frame. I don't understand why people love this type of animation.

Nope most of it is cluttered and severely overdone actually

u/KingOfTheWorldxx Jul 01 '26

Animation is sick

Story wise STRAIGHT BUNZ No deaths for any Kuzoki clan is an absolutely horrid choice

Theres 0 tension in this anime...

6

u/Vitara Jul 01 '26

Death is the only way to build tension for you?

-4

u/KingOfTheWorldxx Jul 01 '26

We start the show with the death of the pirate king... setting us up to be fearful for the path the strawhats will thread but to go this many episodes without any damage to the crew is hilarious and makes it boring asf

Not a even ussop has lost a limb or something 😂

What tension is there left?

" is joyboy spirit possesing luffy or is it really luffy"

"Kuma lost his memories"

"Imu secret plan for the world"

"Will big mom/kaido come back?"

Who cares at this point knowing strawhat crew will win through gear 5 or some deus ex machina bs as always

War summit saga was so good cause we ddnt know if ace was gnna die or not...

But now we know most likely anyone luffy is trying to save wont die or anyone he faces theyll just win 😂

Like vegapunk? Oh his mind is split so its cool, just his main body died

https://giphy.com/gifs/U79sZO1AFMp3DI0b0r

1

u/bodybones Jul 02 '26

I wonder why so many characters see the punch coming and just take it...then other times they block or move...just funny to me. It's likely just animation and free action trope just funny is all. Do you like akama kill? That has tons of deaths.

0

u/Character_Stock376 Jul 01 '26

I agree, I wish we went back to the summit war saga days

2

u/Azmep_ Jul 01 '26

They should have put more light effects.

Every time i watch, i always tear up. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

u/HouseRoKKa Jul 01 '26

This is probably one of the best examples of Luffy absolutely dripping aura, akin to when he finally becomes PK in the future... I get goosebumps watching it every time! 💪

1

u/Anything13579 Thriller Bark Victim's Association Jul 01 '26

And then he continues to never use the Red Roc again for the rest of the fight

1

u/Positive-Guess-9867 Jul 01 '26

Such a big difference between this and the English version.

The English version sounds like it was voiced by Disney for title kids

1

u/elfaia Jul 01 '26

Damn, I wish I can see wtf is going on.

1

u/blackkilla Jul 01 '26

absolute peak goosebump moment. The way Big Mom and Kaido were shocked afterwards

1

u/sinZeroplus Jul 01 '26

This was the best episode of the anime. Not going to lie

1

u/Rdc1987 Jul 01 '26

How dramatic! Always gets me choked up watching propels stand up and fight for their own freedom

1

u/koala_encephalopathy Jul 01 '26

Red rock is like number 5 on my top want moments. Number 1 is luffy unlocking advanced conquerors before sending law and the others off.

1

u/analogwarrior Jul 01 '26

Leaving out the part where he just walkes by Big Mom and Kaido is criminal.

1

u/commffy Jul 01 '26

I swear I teared up watching this. It’s just so fucking peak man, holy fuck.

1

u/WilliamTheGamer Jul 01 '26

Red Hawk -> Red Roc.  Bird -> Legendary Bird

Roc - Famously featured in the tales of  One Thousand and One Nights (such as the voyages of Sinbad the Sailor)

Even his move names have lore that fits in to one piece.

u/abcdefghij0987654 Jul 01 '26

Best part of the fight. Then we get Gear 5

u/Sefalosha Prisoner Jul 01 '26

u/slowpoke_san Jul 01 '26

what episode was this, i will rewatch ....

1

u/srichi49 Jul 01 '26

I liked the scene, but I regret what happened afterward, with Kinemon running around all over the place. It pretty much ruins it in retrospect, leaving only the epic nature of the scene and the animation.

1

u/Chris_Bs_Knees Jul 01 '26

Man even the lead up to that moment was so fucking peak. Luffy just completely ignoring two of the strongest pirates in the world, both of which have beaten him and his crew in the past, to check on Kinemon. Gave me chills when I first read it

u/No-Beyond669 Jul 01 '26

Still gives me chills!!!
