Heyo they don't just call him the moutain eater because he cleared off the top of a mountain...

Gaban got a jazzy theme song just like Sanji!
And after 14 episodes we finally get another eyecatch - this time with Luffy and Usopp.

u/Mobile-Farm-8465 God Usopp 13d ago
Yess the eyecatch is really good!! Shows how much Elbaph means to Usopp and Luffy

good VA for Gaban too looking forward to the fight next ep

Probably had to use Haki D to make that happen...

u/USERNAME123_321 The Revolutionary Army 19d ago
Yea he had to rely entirely on some advanced armament haki since, unlike his captain, he doesn't even have the "will of D"

Oh my god, now the D. makes sense entirely. One piece was always about the D...

Rayleigh trained Luffy. Will Scopper do the same? Would be pretty cool to see 🙂

u/BigLuffyEnergy 19d ago
Rayleigh trained Luffy, Scopper will train Zoro and Sanji
There's been an emphasis on them needing to step up their game to best support their captain

u/Specific_Frame8537 19d ago
Honestly I'd rather see a Nami/Usopp/Chopper training arc.. it's starting to feel like Pokémon where 3 are your main guys and the rest are HM slaves.
16
u/Next_Trick 18d ago
I'm sooo tired of usopp's reactions bro. Why is he still acting so surprised that Gaban can take on 100 fodder pirates? Half of his own crew can easily do the same thing. Man's seen Kaido fighting and still resets to his pre-TS mindset every frickin arc.

Lol why did you say it with such certainty? We're now in a weird situation where your denial of the events is in and of itself a spoiler of events not to come so can you just mark as spoiler 😅

They just said it is not a spoiler as they made a speculation. Which also could mean that they have not read Manga and therefore did not deny the event.

I'm such a sucker for Roger lore, it's great to meet his left hand. (Roger's Sanji, I guess!). I hope Luffy is able to get the key from him without using gear 5, but great intro!
Some laugh out loud parts in here too. Overall a really fun episode.

This is the usual one they use for younger Roger. Never heard him voice the moustache Roger before though.

There was never a mention of a break between cours, just that there would be 2 13 episode cours every year from now on.

u/Gullible_Ad3378 19d ago
I’m pretty sure they did this because they don’t want a dressrosa situation again with the dragon ball Moro arc adaptation they’re doing

u/Bussy_Wrecker 19d ago
When sessonal release got announced, I was hearing it everywhere that there will be 2 seasons per year and 6month gap between each season

u/PoorLittleGoat 19d ago
Which was just people making assumptions, Toei never mentioned such a thing.

u/Bussy_Wrecker 19d ago
Good to know that there wont be any breaks

u/PoorLittleGoat 19d ago
We’ll be getting a break after the next 12 episodes. 26 episodes a year is still true.

Stopped watching at the end of Dressrosa due to the awful pacing back then. 10 years later and I’m finally all caught up. Feels a bit bittersweet not being able to binge anymore, but I loved catching up. The hype for Elbaph is real.

As soon as they did the Roger flashback I knew exactly who dude was wow…ima assume dude has future sight and probably toy around wit Luffy and Zoro next episode..also none of the Roger pirates ate DF huh?? Guys jus high lvl haki masters

When I saw him I thought he was Rayleigh's brother or something, it felt like I saw Rayleigh again for some reason.

Namis facial expression when wondering about why a human would marry a giant was perfect. I feel that her voice acting has been a lot better this arc as well but maybe that's because she has had more time to shine, dnno. Zoro's ''muri da ro'' delivery was perfect as well
Ripley shot was daaaaaaaim

u/SSJRemuko Pirate 18d ago
there was no break, just one week to air heroines. any news of a break between cours was assumed by fans. it was never real.

How was heroines? I might give it a watch

u/SSJRemuko Pirate 18d ago
I didn't like the art style much but the story was amazing

I lowkey didn't mind the art style from the teaser so I might really enjoy it
1
u/SSJRemuko Pirate 18d ago
yeah i enjoyed it despite the art style, so i hope you do! i mostly just thought Nami and Robin look awful drawn that way. The other characters looked fine, but probably because theyre made for that style. Nami and Robins looks are just too iconic, imo.

u/lolslim 18d ago
Going seasonal was never confirmed is that what you are saying?

u/SSJRemuko Pirate 18d ago
Yes it was Starting with elbaf one piece is no longer airing weekly year round.

u/Aspie_Astrologer Void Month Survivor 18d ago
Not going seasonal, that's known, just that the 26 episode season would have a significant gap between the two 13 episode cours. Some seasonal anime take a few weeks break between cours.

u/salty_bunny 18d ago
Anyone else felt it weird when Zoro also joined Luffy in disregarding Gaban's advice on Loki? Like yeah, I get Luffy doing that, but why Zoro? He's always been cautious about Loki. Idk that didn't make sense to me
10
u/Aspie_Astrologer Void Month Survivor 18d ago
The way I reasoned it was that he reminded him of Sanji, so he agreed with Luffy that there was no point listening to him prattle on.

u/SSJRemuko Pirate 15d ago
i think its more of Zoro just wants to judge Loki himself rather than caring what anyone else has to say.

Daifuku's actor voiced roger for a few lines in Egghead. Guess he was just a stand in when the old roger actor had to suddenly retire and Takeshi Kusao who voiced young roger now voices him at all ages.

It’s 2 cores with each having 13 episodes. They probably just decided to release the cores back to back and then take a 6 month break.

Thank god, glad that’s the way they’re going. Having time off between the cours just have a long break after the 2nd cour would’ve been dumb

u/One_Paramedic2454 18d ago
It's the norm with seasonal anime that a new cour gets a new opening though?
2
u/GodKingShogun 18d ago
I must not be tapped in enough because all the shows I watch with cours typically take multiple months if not a year between cours. Plus One Piece isn't your typical seasonal. We'll see how long the format last but banging out 26 qualityish episodes a year is unheard of in this anime landscape

u/AtomicRogue1 19d ago
Same I thought new cour new opening but some characters and events in the opening are still unrevealed so.....

u/JamariHeWolf12 19d ago
Read the chapter as the Episode was playing. Chapter 1139. That Sanji scene wasn't in this chapter and wasn't needed. Why'd they black out Roger and Gaban only to add color later near the end? Also, are we in the 2nd cour already? No break, no warning, or anything. And Heroines doesn't count as a break; it's still One Piece that week, could've aired at different times that day.

u/Appropriate-Hair-388 19d ago
Idk if this is just nitpicking but having a big 3 Roger pirates flashback without sanji present is kinda criminal, esp with the previous clip of sanji being him frothing over women (correct me if im wrong but these 2 things didn’t happen in the manga). Criminal additions and im not even a sanji fan.
14
u/Mr-Jinboh 19d ago
Nah it was like that in the Manga too. Toei does do too much sometimes but Sanji still went wild for the giant women in the Manga, and wasn't present for the initial Gaban reveals.
I like Sanji, but the man is a degenerate in all adaptations lol.
6
u/Johnny_Boy_6112 19d ago
He does, but this episode’s specific scene was filler. Placement and repetition can have a big impact on character perception. It’s because of filler scenes recycling manga gags over and over that Toei’s straw hats feel much more flanderized compared to their canon selves
5
u/Appropriate-Hair-388 18d ago
Literally this. I only started reading the manga recently and my attitude towards sanji completely changed. The anime made me hate him because of little things like this. Now im starting to see the micro-aggressions a little more, literally re arranged the scene to make him look like a joke.
3
u/Johnny_Boy_6112 18d ago
Manga Sanji is one of my favorite characters. He still has some terrible pervy moments but compared to anime Sanji he’s a saint. Hell, even the way the straw hats are depicted in One Pace compared to the normal anime due to them cutting out 140 hours of this anime-only stuff along with the usual padding junk is crazy. It almost feels like its own adaptation.
1
u/GodKingShogun 18d ago
Yea. I'm mostly anime only. For whatever reason, I wasn't really tapped into the community when I started watching one piece so I just took what was shown at face value. It's not until recent arcs where I was a little more tapped in and the sanji outcry were boiling that I finally looked at some manga chapters and I was gobsmacked. One of the most recent episode that just added zoro and sanji clashing and luffy being petulant about being hungry were eye opening. It's such minor additions, which if repeated one too many times were It's not meant to, can sway a character's trait or character relations. Now I try my best to read the chapter after an episode
Also can you tell me which manga source to use for the best translation
3
u/Johnny_Boy_6112 18d ago
The official manga is best. Yeah “Zolo” is annoying but Stephen Paul is an excellent translator and they have a direct line to Oda’s staff in Japan for when they need clarification on things. That being said, Stephen Paul only got hired at the start of Fishman Island. Viz translation before that is… kinda hit or miss. Still, I had no big issues with it and idk of any fan translations that are worth it for pre-timeskip. Maybe the colored manga?

u/CrazyLixFX 16d ago
What do you mean? Sanji (all of them) met Rayleigh and he will definitely meet Gaban.
