I was so shocked when Luffy popped out of Megalo and his stare at Hody after Shirahoshi asked for help was just too good
theanimewarlord
Hody is actually the worst person alive for what he did to Otohime and hearing Shirahoshi explain why she stayed quiet for years to keep her promise was heartbreaking until Luffy showed up
nukekubi_nemesis_63
Hody Jones admitting he killed the queen just to make everyone hate humans makes him such a disgusting villain and it makes everything about Otohime dying way more tragic
gumi_galaxy
Hearing that Hody framed a random human and started this whole war on a lie is genuinely sickening but it shows exactly how twisted he is
piko_pixel
The reveal that Megalo knew everything too was a small detail but it adds so much weight to the silence Shirahoshi kept and now Hordy is finally showing his true ugly colors
guts_the_swordsman_189
Hordy's ego is actually out of control, and the way he just admitted to the assassination while standing on the execution platform was sickening to watch. Shirahoshi is the strongest person in this arc for keeping that promise to her mom, and it makes the children crying out for Luffy feel so earned. Watching the crew finally land cannot happen soon enough
keukegen_king
Shirahoshi choosing not to hate Hody even after what he did is such a crazy display of strength and it really shows she took her moms words to heart
corkus_the_cynic_192
Hody’s confession about his past genuinely chilled me to the bone; I just couldn't believe how someone could be so openly cruel and then gloat about it like he was untouchable. It was sickening to witness his absolute confidence in his own depravity.

Hody laughing about killing Otohime makes him the most disgusting villain yet and he needs a punch from Luffy
iris_cannary_171
I can't believe Hody actually killed Otohime and just framed a random human and he is so evil for that
nezuko_nuzzle_128
Peace was all Otohime wanted for her people, but Hody ruined everything and blamed humans just to keep the cycle of hatred going
ami_mizuno
He has no actual reason to hate humans and he is just a monster born from the island's own anger

These flashbacks stretching out really kills the momentum and it makes it hard to stay excited for the reveal
nanami_nexus
Waiting for Luffy to show up is taking forever but seeing Hody's true face was at least something interesting
subrosian_292
The way the show dragged out the flashbacks today was a bit much and seeing Luffy finally show up to wreck Hordy for everything he did to the royal family is overdue
hunterxhunter_
seeing luffy fly out of the shark was so cool and the whole crew standing there together in the plaza felt so powerful
azukiarai_assassin_83
Hordy Jones is a total coward and he actually bragged about shooting Queen Otohime like he did something special and it is sickening to see how he treats his own kind
oni_omega
Hody is nothing like Arlong since he just relies on those pills for strength and has zero honor
zuna_293
I am so ready for luffy to finally get there and knock Hody out after that smug confession about the assassination
ubagabi_usurper_93
It is crazy how Hordy thinks he is some god when he is really just a junkie popping pills and he would not last a second against someone like Lucci or even Arlong
EPISODE CONTEXT
Coming directly off Episode 551's escalation at Conchcorde Plaza, Episode 552 pivots from battlefield chaos to narrative revelation, recontextualizing much of the Fish-Man Island arc's emotional foundation. The truth unveiled here serves as the critical turning point that transforms the conflict from political tension into deeply personal stakes. Episode 553 picks up the fallout, with Shirahoshi's reaction and Luffy's direct involvement accelerating everything toward the arc's climactic showdowns.
