After watching Oden effortlessly take down Ashura Doji in that downpour, I didn't think anything could surprise me more, but the timeskip really got me. Seeing the Scabbards transformed into proper samurai in their formal attire just proved how profoundly Oden's spirit and belief shaped their destiny, and my jaw dropped when Whitebeard casually showed up looking so youthful at the very end.

The transformation of Kuri was handled so well, and seeing the Red Scabbards actually try to learn how to read just to make Oden proud was surprisingly sweet

oden fighting all those bandits for a whole night and then just sitting on ashura doji like it was nothing is the coolest way to start a governorship

I saw young Whitebeard at the end and I actually started yelling because he looks so cool with that hair and the Moby Dick is just gigantic compared to the Wano coast
reshiram_310
you can really see why everyone followed oden after he turned a complete dump like kuri into a paradise and then just casually asked his guys if they still loved him
ancient_robot_295
it makes me so mad watching orochi crawl around and steal money while everyone else is working hard because we all know what that rat is going to do later
sakura_strength
Young Ashura Doji is a monster and seeing him clash with Oden in the rain was so intense. Oden really is the only person who could have united all these crazy people under one banner
elrena
It is surprising to see how much respect Yasuie had for Oden even back then, especially when he told the retainers to use that stolen money to improve themselves
alma_theus
Oden is a beast for fighting Ashura Doji all night in the rain and then just sitting on him like it was nothing. That transition into a beautiful town was so satisfying to see

The Scabbards’ stealth lessons were hilariously bad, I tell ya, but seeing how much they busted their butts for Oden really got to me. It felt like watching kids grow up right before my eyes, and their transformation into proper samurai by the end just solidified how deeply loyal they are, ready to face anything for him.

Oden using his two sword style to blast through those guys in Kuri was amazing and that purple light effect was really cool. He is such a natural leader even if he does not always act like one
flat
Kozuki Oden is such a legend for walking into Kuri and taking it over and his fight with Ashura Doji was awesome. He turned that dump into a place worth living and it made me like him even more
kenpachi_berserker
My heart melted seeing young Nekomamushi and Inuarashi eating because they are just too cute. I cannot believe Oden just invited a group of outcasts to be his family and actually gave them a home
darkness_defender
Oden being there when the Whitebeard Pirates finally crashed onto Wano's shores had me grinning so wide, I swear. I mean, you can practically feel the shift in the air, and I'm just picturing all the wild adventures those guys are about to drag him into, which feels so right for his character.

Seeing the Red Scabbards trying to learn how to read and write was actually hilarious and they looked so ridiculous in those formal clothes. Oden really turned those criminals into actual samurai and it is crazy to watch how much they changed
ubagabi_usurper_93
I can't believe how fast Oden turned that dump into a real city and seeing him sit on a defeated Ashura Doji made me laugh out loud
mimikyaun
Watching Oden hold baby Momonosuke and tell his crew they are finally real samurai felt like such a huge payoff for their training

EPISODE CONTEXT
Building directly on Oden's efforts to tame and unite the lawless land of Kuri, this episode escalates his story by introducing the Whitebeard Pirates as a pivotal new variable in his trajectory. It bridges Oden's local rise to power with the larger world beyond Wano's borders, setting up the fateful alliance and ambitions that will define the episodes ahead. The groundwork laid here becomes essential context for understanding Oden's choices and the alliances that shape the present-day Wano conflict.
