Episode 1099 does a great job of rekindling the viewers’s concern of Rob Lucci and co, whereas additionally elevating the stakes sufficient to maintain issues attention-grabbing.
I am actually excited to see how we get to see Rob Lucci’s brutality take heart stage this week. Like I mentioned final week, although Lucci, Kaku, and many others. might all be iconic villains A bit‘s finest arc, it is initially a problem to take them critically as threats once more. The Straw Hats have grown a lot within the years since they confronted CP-9 that it is arduous to quantify. Not solely have our plucky little criminals from the ocean gained an exponential quantity of energy for the reason that bygone days of Water 7/Enies Foyer, however they’ve additionally added extra everlasting shipmates to the roster who can wield their powers. That is to not say the previous CP-9 gang could not have grown as effectively (in any case, that will solely be truthful, they usually have cool new masks). However now that CP0 – at first look – seems to be fewer in quantity and in addition going through a lot stronger Straw Hats, it is arduous to purchase them as credible threats.
That is all a preamble to underline that I feel Rob Lucci comes throughout as very threatening on this episode. The way in which he takes out Atlas – by way of how shortly it was resolved, how one-sided it was and the brutality of it – is a reminder that these authorities killers are to not be trifled with, even for in any other case imposing defenders powered by the expertise from Vegapunk. . In fact, it offers Luffy the emotional funding wanted to affix in and duke it out along with his previous nemesis.
One other dimension that I feel deserves particular point out this week is the music and sound design. The background combine did a wonderful job of modulating the strain of every second. Moreover, the assorted laser and techno-style bleeps and bloops had a crisp sound that was enticing and (for no matter motive) noticeable.
