Episode 1113 brings a significant change in location and focus from the main focus of the present storyline.
So, we’re not on Kansas, er, Egghead Island anymore (or no less than not this week). As an alternative, we discover the central drama on Beehive Island, the place Blackbeard reigns and Koby is captured. It creates a brand new canvas for one factor, and offers us an opportunity to have a look at fan-favorite supporting characters who don’t at all times get the highlight. Which is at all times a very good factor, so far as I’m involved.
It additionally helps that that is an intriguing hook at first look. Jail break eventualities are at all times enjoyable and simple to grasp, irrespective of the main points. Certain, not each jail break state of affairs entails sentient islands and the flexibility to summon ghosts, however the basic define of those conditions makes them simple to grasp typically. Koby is making an attempt to flee—and he’s doing so in sometimes selfless vogue: making an attempt to get the eye of his captors with a view to get harmless folks to flee. I may very well be fallacious, however I feel that is the primary time we’ve gotten any main particulars about what SWORD is. I do know we noticed them in Wano with Koby and Drake’s interactions, however I wasn’t positive we have been getting far more element than that they’re a Navy particular operations unit—so the main points of this group have been a welcome addition.
The brand new Marine characters are additionally great things. I’m at all times a sucker for the cheesy clay warrior trope—and the truth that the Marines can area total models of those guys is fairly fascinating. Perhaps that is one other synthetic satan fruit energy state of affairs? I’d like to know what the main points are there. The one actual draw back to the episode is that it disrupts the movement of the Egghead Island story considerably. I’m wondering if we’ll be bouncing backwards and forwards between these two occasions or if we’ll have a collection of episodes centered totally on Beehive Island. Solely time will inform.
