I saw it at an anime film festival in Scotland a few weeks ago with a crowd of people who mostly don't watch One Piece. A LOT of people walked out because the film is essentially an unintelligible mess if you aren't a fan (a guy behind me spent like ten minutes trying to explain what a log pose was to his very confused girlfriend). Kind of a bummer considering I'd seen all those fancams from the French premiere where people were going loving nuts and standing on their seats when Zoro cuts the meteor.
Thank you so much!

Who the hell goes to see Tie-in Movie #14 for something they've barely seen before? For that matter, who gets stand-on-seat excited for Tie-in Movie #14 either?

To be fair, Stampede is an out-and-out crowd-pleasing celebration of the franchise rather than a generic tie-lin along the lines of the earlier pre-Oda films. In particular it REALLY plays into the kind of stuff that One Piece fans who love talking about haki power levels and bounties and "could X beat Y" like. I consider myself above a lot of that stuff but even I was getting hype over certain interactions and soundtrack choices...

Yeah but then you have to start getting into stuff like how the Grand Line works and what the difference is between an Eternal Pose and a Log Pose, etc. etc. That's how their discussion went, anyway.

If you want to play the I-didn't-know-this-was-a-hippo-bar game with me, that's fine.
So I don't know if I'm the first one to point this out or whatever, but did anyone else notice how similar Oden's eyebrows are to Zoro's? Thicker sure, but definitely the same shape.

so it turns out the monster trio all had monster dads. I guess we've learned the true spirit of One Piece, biological determinism.

yes if there's one thing to take away from sanji's backstory it's that it's his genetics that make him strong

Yeah Sanji's dad is kind of a wimp relatively, and the genetic modifying that was done on him failed, he only got strong when he had something to fight for

(I also hope none of these people are Zoro's dad, that would be dumb, I'd be fine with his teacher being Denjiro tho)

Au contraire, Sanji's genetic modifications are what allows him to harness the power of his heart in order to catch on fire.

Much like Shiliew, this is an instance of the official release seeing Oda's romanization and deciding, correctly, to ignore it and continue using their version.

I don't mind Laugh Tale but the way Raftel has been written in Japanese up until now does not jive with that pronunciation.

The dub was sticking to Laugh Tale, so I'm assuming Funi will just go with that when they resume the series.

Yeah, Zoro is definitely related to Oden. If Denjiro really is Zoro's teacher maybe he was given Zoro to escape with when Kaido attacked. I don't see how the rest of the scabbards wouldn't know about that though.

Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.

Dude lost an arm to a thing Luffy beat up in one punch like next chapter? And its not Shanks its an underling of Shanks, not even the first mate.

The Law? Law is a Human Institution.


It could always be inferred that Shanks and by extension his crew were going to be a big deal in the grand scheme of things, but at the time of learning who Yassop was, the audience perspective of the Red Hair pirates were that they were pirates of some repute, We wouldn't go on to learn that Shanks was one of the strongest and most influential people on the planet until later on in the story.

On a related note, Robin and Nami had badass moms. Well, Olvia was debatable since she essentially abandoned Robin to go study, but that was just her providing some much needed gender equality in the proud anime tradition of absentee fathers.

I didn't notice myself until my second read-through that Oden just used a food-pun based sword move. That's the biggest reveal in the whole chapter.

Looking at Yasuie and Orochi side by side, it’s remarkable how similar their hair, noses, and lips are. Could Orochi be Yasuie’s bastard son?

I can't wait until the end of the flashback when they all resolve to avenge Oden and it cuts back to the present where the scabbards have all been annihilated and had their dream crushed.

Then part four starts and I begin existing in a permanent state of :suspense:

Zoro met his teacherwhen he tried to waltz in and try and crush the dojo. Kuina beat him and he stayed to try and beat her.
