Episode 1120 continues to lift the bar as we construct in the direction of what ought to (or may?) be the sequence’ grand finale.
It is a continuation of Sabo’s escape from the Mary Geoise. Effectively, Sabo and Vivi and Wapol I assume, but it surely’s principally about Sabo and from Sabo’s perspective. I’ve to confess I discovered this half fairly compelling. I are inclined to dislike Sabo or possibly it could be extra correct to say I am fairly impartial on him as a personality. I respect what he means and represents to Luffy, and likewise his relationship with Ace, however general I am not leaping out of my seat to see him get solo tales. I are inclined to choose it when he is paired with a personality to create extra curiosity (in my case Koala or particularly Robin).
Regardless of this, all of it labored out rather well for me. Sabo being injured and on the run made for a tense exfiltration/escape story. Regardless of his powers and skills, he wasn’t a lot better off than Vivi or Wapol, and their makes an attempt to evade patrols and conceal on ships was a pleasant, grounded story for a change. It’s a rigidity we hardly ever see today, given the sheer scale of energy displayed by so most of the protagonists.
On the opposite finish of the spectrum, we acquired some terrifying sequences with the 5 Elders and Imu. Imu’s complete factor is ominous, and the room with the butterflies is creepy in each palette. The introduction of Imu as a persona on the throne of the world authorities, wielding weapons from a bygone period, is a part of the explanation I get the sensation we’re headed towards a conclusion to the sequence. Perhaps there’s extra to return after this, but it surely’s exhausting to think about who or what that may be at this level.
