I cannot believe how they changed Pekoms death from the manga because the arrows made it feel way more like a hero ending even if they censored the eye stuff

Pekoms didn't deserve that at all, I was so mad watching the Big Mom pirates just stab him like that right after he helped Luffy. It really makes me wonder if he'll ever truly be free of them or if he's always gonna be stuck in that life.

Sanji was supposed to be the stealthy one here but watching him get swatted out of the sky by Yuen felt like a huge downgrade from the manga version
corkus_the_cynic_192
Luffy looks totally drained after fighting Katakuri. He can barely even move while Sanji carries him through all that gunfire
noodle_munch
Seeing the Vinsmoke siblings roll up to save their brother was great, especially after how they treated Sanji before

Oven was being a total jerk to Pekoms during the transformation, but the animation on that moon form was really sharp

I was so worried about how Sanji would get Luffy past an entire army by himself. I really felt for him when he got pinned down. The Germa fleet coming in with those massive cannons at the end was exactly what they needed to stand a chance because the Big Mom pirates were definitely not playing around this time

The way Pekoms was hearing Pedro while he lost control of his Sulong form made that whole scene feel way more heavy
gagoze_ghoul_75
I think the way Pekoms went Sulong for Pedro was so sad and he looked so cool while doing it
final_fantasy_fan
Sanji being forced to accept help from his family is such a weird turn for his character and it shows how bad things are
yveltal
Sanji tried to fly out with Luffy but that huge army on the island was too much for them. Then the Germa ships showed up out of nowhere
zekrom
The amount of ships surrounding the Sunny is terrifying and there is no way the Straw Hats get out without all this extra help
raphtalia_raccoon
Sanji carrying Luffy away was great, but man the pacing was just dragging so much today and the way the Charlotte army just stood there like cardboard cutouts while Pekoms went wild felt really weird compared to the manga, and I think it took away from the threat so thank god the Germa siblings arriving at the end actually got me excited
erica_brown
Sanji getting hit by Yuen and then having the siblings show up to bail him out is so ironic after everything that happened at the wedding
cremia
Luffy looks like a ghost after that battle with Katakuri and seeing him so vulnerable and small while Sanji carries him is actually pretty scary
ortega
Pekoms going Sulong looked awesome, but that long flashback in the middle of the transformation made the scene feel way less exciting
hitotsume_kozo_31
That scene where Sanji got knocked down by Pekoms made him look way too weak and it was hard to watch him struggle like that
raifort
Hearing Pedro's voice inside Pekoms' head while he was losing control was such a gut punch and made his capture feel even worse
viral_187
Germa 66 showing up and blowing those ships away while Sanji looked totally annoyed was actually pretty funny
yuzuriha_yarn
I honestly did not expect Germa to come through like that after Sanji spent so much time trying to get away from them. It was a weird mix of being happy they showed up and also feeling that secondhand embarrassment for Sanji because he definitely hates needing their help to get Luffy out of there safely while the whole fleet is watching.
EPISODE CONTEXT
Coming directly off Luffy's exhausting battle with Katakuri, this episode shifts the focus from one-on-one combat to full-scale crew survival as the Straw Hats face the gauntlet of escaping Big Mom's territory. It functions as a critical pressure-cooker installment in the Whole Cake Island escape sequence, testing the crew's resourcefulness when brute strength alone isn't enough. The episode also plants the seeds for unexpected reinforcements, bridging the aftermath of the Katakuri fight into the next phase of the getaway.
