I Failed At Anime 2022
People in One Piece who have survived decapitation:
- Pound
- Crocodile (actually I think ViVi threw her chakrams into his face, not his neck, but maybe Doflamingo decapitated him with wires?)
- Doflamingo
- Kanjuro

People in One Piece who have died of decapitation:
- Roger (flashback)

Luffy doesn't count cause he was never actually decapitated.

Keep on GOP rolling rolling rolling rolling.

Did they decapitate roger? I thought the two marine executioners just rammed the blades into his heart.

Buggy? I wanna say Buggy. I know he’s immune but I don’t know if he’s ever been specifically decapitated in the series.

tbf we never saw Pound get anything under than a guy looming over him with a sword, and Kanjuro didn't survive being decapitated because a drawing of him was

I think orochi is still alive there's some good irony to be mined in the fact that betraying his clan is basically when undid oden's clan so betraying orochi is going to cause kaido's undoing too

Croc does not really count cause he is a logia. Doflamingo was not decapitated, it was a marionette made of string that was. Kanjuro was just a copy.

Pound was just slashed at most.

The Wano arc has a new animation director, and while the series has never looked better, this kinda art is still the exception.

I think the head animator’s been the same new guy since the start of Wano. The clips I’ve seen look amazing but also like he still has to work under the constrains that, you know, no modern shonen has to anymore, which makes you wonder how his stuff would look going through 2-3 chapters an episode. :(

As far as I can tell all the animation budget for Wano has gone into making Zoro look cool, and that’s a real positive.

Wano has actually been pretty decent so far in the anime. Some clunker episodes here and there, the pacing can still be pretty bad, but overall they've been doing a better job for this arc than they've done in like 6-7 years. They even did some sidestory and filler stuff that fit in seamlessly to the narrative and even enhanced it.

Plus the new artstyle is perfect, it suits One Piece really well.

Zoro focused episodes have been getting most of the love though, he even has this little gambling story that's anime only and it's actually really great. Plus do yourself a favour and listen to any scene Orochi's in, the VA they chose for him is fantastic.

Mihawk technically decapitated him. In that he sliced him up in every possible way, and decapitation was part of it.

I’m not being sarcastic. I think the Dragon Twister sequence early on in the arc, the fight with Hawkins, and this most recent clip are all really well done.

I just watched an episode and he's really giving it his all, isn't he? It's like they asked him to come up with a voice for his giant nasty monster form but then had him use it for regular Orochi too.

It's a mythical zoan, which means it has an additional paramecia-like power that has yet to be revealed. Wouldn't be surprised if it means he has to die 8 times to actually die or some other similar power.

It would be kind of funny if you have to decapitate Orochi 8 times to kill him, but he's had it done several times before already. So he thinks he's actually unable to be killed by decapitation, but Kaido just gave him the 7th cut.

It's not money that makes the show look good. It's scheduling. They had Takashi Kojima available to do that Zoro fight scene.

Big mom and kaido in theory shouldn’t have a clue where any of the ancient weapons are, I wonder if we’ll see which one they were gunning for. The fact they can’t just run through and grab the one piece as is and need ancient weapons says a lot too

Kaido has no chance of getting the One Piece or Ancient Weapons cause he doesn't have a big hat. The only players are Luffy, Big Mom, Blackbeard and Im.

I doubt it's either Poseidon or Pluton. Both would require back tracking to get to and both involve people that Luffy and co. would definitely go back for.
