Episode 1105 solutions just a few urgent questions whereas giving us a great dose of enjoyable character interactions of a extra traditional variety.
The principle occasion with CP-0 got here to an finish this week – or no less than is over for now. Stussy taking out each Lucci and Kaku put a pin of their rampage. In the meantime, if nothing else, the Seraphim have been dropped at a standstill. The revelation is that Stussy has been a long-term manufacturing unit for twenty years, however the truth that it’s extra coincidence than foresight is attention-grabbing. I like the thought, and the ‘oops-we-have-this-twenty-years’ bit is good too. She’s definitely not a brand new character, so the time for the payoff ought to have helped right here. Sadly, it is a case the place she beforehand had so little display time that the reveal did not prove in addition to it may have. Nonetheless, it is a good thought.
The Zoro and Sanji bits are the very best on this first half for me. Each time these two argue and bicker, I believe again to once I first began the collection – and it is a joke I at all times have time for. The assorted negatives on this struggle have been additionally an actual delight, with just a few new ones thrown into the same old mixture of moss heads and dumb cooks. Zoro getting a second with Mihawk’s seraphim was additionally surprisingly poignant and it was cool to see how he is modified through the years. Now we discover ourselves surprisingly seeing a a lot older, extra skilled Zoro encountering a a lot youthful, much less skilled Mihawk. It is a good piece of rhyming poetry and a great character beat, peppered with the world-ending occasions of the macro plot.
Sadly, the second half did not yield a lot for me. Marco visits Whitebeard’s hometown, the Navy exhibits up, and so does Whitebeard’s son. It is… I do not know. That is additionally a traditional A chunk bit the place a well-known pirate visits a city affected by the navy, so it ought to work for me. I am simply not that fascinated about Marco, and this looks like a distraction from Egghead Island, the place issues actually heated up. C’est la vie, they can not all be winners.
