QUICK TAKES

Marco landing on the floor looked beautiful and he really feels like the heavy hitter this alliance needed
professor_oak
I can't believe Marco is finally putting in work and those blue flames looked incredible on screen especially when they started spreading through the Performance Floor to help the samurai but I couldn't stop laughing at Sanji carrying Zoro like a cross while they argued because their dynamic is always the best part of these big raid episodes
usagi_tsukino_372
My eyes were glued to the screen when Yamato mentioned Ace visited Wano and that final shot of him smiling made me so emotional
atticus_358
You see Kaidou literally lift an entire island into the sky and it makes the stakes feel so much higher for everyone on the floor
sasha_savor_109
I was so hyped when Marco showed up and used his blue flames to save everyone from that virus because seeing him and Chopper work together was amazing
levifangirl
When Sasaki finally transformed into that huge Triceratops, it was such a cool moment and Franky, just standing his ground, was perfect
subrosian_292
I can finally breathe now that Marco showed up with those blue flames because watching Chopper struggle with the virus was stressing me out so much
hatifnatik
Marco showing up with those blue flames to save everyone from turning into ice monsters was such a relief and then he just asks Zoro if he needs a ride to the roof
zirconia_386
Hibi-maru standing up to Ulti and Page One really got me, I mean, that little guy was so clearly outmatched but he just kept trying to protect Tama. My heart ached watching his brave but desperate stand; it showed how truly devoted he is to her, no matter the danger.
kuroneko_42
Sanji getting caught in those spider webs is getting a bit frustrating to watch while everyone else is out here fighting for their lives against the beast pirates
near_nemesis_114
Healing flames everywhere made me so happy and the animation during that whole sequence looked amazing
ami_mizuno
My heart dropped when I saw that broken dragon statue and realized Yamato knew Ace back in the day because their connection explains so much about Yamato now
enenra_enigma_53
Sasaki turning into a triceratops is honestly the coolest thing Franky has ever seen and now the fight between the robot and the dinosaur is actually starting
senpaixd
Wait, X Drake actually *bit* Apoo?! I was so shocked to see him go full dinosaur mode just to stop those antibodies from getting away, and it made me actually wonder if he's truly on our side now, or just playing a deeper game.

The way the episode managed to balance the absolute nightmare on the Performance Floor with that massive reveal at the end was perfect. Chopper finally getting some help from the Mink doctors, while Marco provided cover with those blue flames, felt like the first time the alliance actually had a real chance against Queen and his insane virus experiments
maryrie
Zoro destroying that gatling gun was such a cool way to tell Queen he is done playing games and now he is actually heading to the roof with Marco
toshiro_tempest_105
Marco landing and lighting up the room with those blue flames looked so good and Chopper rolling around in the warmth was the cutest thing ever
silentotaku
Sasaki turning into a triceratops is actually insane and the way Franky just thinks it is cool instead of being scared is so typical for him
bang_brawler
The pacing felt a bit sluggish today since they spent so much time on people running through halls, but the Sasaki reveal at least kept things interesting
reshiram_310
It was pretty brutal seeing Hibi-maru get taken out by Ulti and Page One, but that sacrifice really sold the desperation of Nami and Tama trying to escape the castle
EPISODE CONTEXT
Coming off Episode 1011's focus on Sanji's dangerous predicament, Episode 1012 pulls the camera back to the wider battlefield and the alliance's collective struggle against Queen's devastating Ice Oni virus. This is a critical pivot point in the raid on Onigashima, where support characters prove just as vital as frontline fighters. The episode lays essential groundwork for upcoming confrontations by establishing how the alliance intends to neutralize Queen's biological warfare before the major matchups can fully escalate.
