Episode 1106 is a slower entry with time to mirror and revisit outdated pals.
Regardless of the futuristic setting of Egghead Island, that is an episode with a really retro really feel A bit. A lot of the forged members current are throwbacks in a method or one other: the Straw Hat crew in fact, but additionally the CP0 members, Kuma, Sentomaru, Massive Information Morgan, Vivi, Wapol – the listing goes on! It is good to see many favorites returning to the display screen in some kind, particularly the numerous beloved characters we do not get to see typically. Even the characters themselves really feel a bit nostalgic on this episode, with Luffy and Zoro reminiscing about Water 7 and questioning how Iceberg is doing.
Certainly one of my points with the sequence lately is that forged members (essential and supporting characters) that I’ve grown to like are sidelined by new characters within the newest island/arc. That is to not say I do not like the brand new forged members, however it does assist to go to with outdated pals and be reminded that they nonetheless inform tales and joke.
Is that this all a long-winded approach of me pushing for extra Massive Information Morgan content material? You higher consider it.
There’s additionally the start of the Kuma flashback arrange right here. It is a fairly heartbreaking scene as Bonney encounters a youthful model of her father and sees him fully break down. Hats off to the voice actor on this scene and the directorial alternative to simply dwell on this kid’s concern – it is not a cushty or brief scene, and if a scene like this does not land, it dangers undermining the momentum of what is taking place. However I believe it really works properly and does a great job of organising what we all know shall be a flashback.
Robin additionally laughs on this episode and folks defend her. Ergo, it is a top-tier entry based mostly on extremely scientific statistics (my bias).
