Episode 1114 is nearly solely about one punch, and I am very pleased with it.
So, uh… yeah, what’s up with that Galaxy Impression, people? A bit is a collection outlined by huge, big punches, and this episode isn’t any totally different. This time it isn’t Luffy; it is our beloved Vice Admiral Garp, but it surely stands out as probably the greatest single-attack fights within the collection. I did my finest to Bye group’s wonderful animation work all the time I have been penning this column – I’ve beloved the unbelievable visible run from Wano Nation to our present period – and I am again at it once more with this submit. As a result of… wow, that is only a wonderful hammer blow from Grandpa.
A part of the enchantment for me is the easy readability of the motion. The visible constancy has been persistently excessive for years, so the standard is no surprise. However what’s so good is that there’s actually just one easy sequence of occasions to observe: Garp arrives, laughs, powers up, punches, and the island explodes. It’s simple to understand the visible splendor when you will have so little to observe within the combat. It’s a breath of contemporary air in comparison with the extra busy battle scenes with a number of fighters flying round, flashing impression frames, and wild motion. I benefit from the extra frantic fights too, don’t get me unsuitable. However I admire that this scene has time to breathe, slightly than this fantastical torrent of motion and motion condensed into a really brief operating time.
There’s extra to this episode than simply the large ol’ Garp punch, however I didn’t discover that just about as compelling. Koby is ok, and the not-at-all-Uta-echo-fighter sniper Marine will get frozen out. We get one other recap of the Aokiji/Akainu feud, which is ok as a result of I like their battle, but it surely doesn’t transfer the needle like the large present this episode did.
