You too! Have a great weekend!

PegasusDragon

Oda’s writing is extraordinary! How he continues to raise the bar is incomprehensible!?!? 😆 Awww thank you Joanna, we appreciate that!🥰🥰 Sleep well Nakama ❤️❤️

Jason DeVan

Shanks! When Shanks arrives I get all teary-eyed and then 489 Those 2 scores when he does his first speech and then his last I start to sob! I just can't help it, this arc keeps hitting so hard and I love it still! <3 xo The reactions you give us are so pure and we thank you for it!

PegasusDragon

You do know something about Shanks' crew.. That their sniper guy with the dreads is Usopp's Dad, Yasopp. He was in the OP live action and shown a bit very early on in the anime. Easy to forget tho :)

SomeoneElse

I know right... How does it get better than this?........ To Be Continued......

Nesz Vids (Eric Perez)

Now that you've finished The War of the Best of Marineford the biggest peak moment of the anime so far, sit down and think that you are almost half way of this amazing anime and many more peak moments to come.... What an amazing show!!!

LordCartanya

but for a lot of people marineford is still the best arc 🤔

Kenji

a bit too much for my taste

Kenji

It’s really sad how Shanks warned Whitebeard not to let Ace go after Blackbeard, especially since Blackbeard was the one who had injured Shanks in the past. However, Whitebeard refused to listen, which ultimately led to the deaths of both of them.😭😭

Adeeb Alothman

I think I'll be the only one agreeing with Jason. Mihawk is very powerful, and he has already fought a powerful figure of world government in the past. and his reward is close to the current reward of luffy (in the most recent arc) also mihawk mastered the dark blade.

Leandrorr

Me personally it’s a monumental arc for the story of one piece, personally it’s not my favorite solely because none of the straw hats were involved. That’s just me though

Bryan

I think we have become a bit of a crutch for the D clan! 🤣 I swear notebooks are really gonna be indisposable as the show goes on more. For the Four Emperors confusion. Garp explained them and revealed that WB and Shanks were 2 of them. Also this next arc is so exciting for me almost as much as this one. A real first time experience is on the way!

LoneCourier21

Instead of answering “how does it get better” I’d put a question back to you: “where do the strawhats go from here”. Wanting to know the answer to that question is what keeps us all loving one piece so much. Everyone has different opinions about what the “best” arcs of one piece are, but that’s kind of besides the point. I think we’re all just as stunned as you are that the story just… keeps going. I will say just one thing to whet your appetite - I loved the current arc just as much OR MORE than marineford.

Isaac Ahlquist

Also I’m pretty sure it was stated by shanks to whitebeard (after ace was caught by teach) that Teach gave shanks the 3 slashes on shanks’ eye Koby brave AF standing up to Akainu, I’m calling it now they’re gonna have another run in I think

victoria t

I don’t think I realized before how mush WB held back.

Fold

Yup, if he's writing it with his characters, the story is bound to only get better than this

Regie Khemvisay

Yeah!!! Someone finally mentioned that!

Lucia Petrozzi

🤣🤣 I couldn't pass on this

Lucia Petrozzi

So thankful he came. We got to put them two awesome characters to rest. If he didnt, i would be surprised if they desecrated their remains.

Regie Khemvisay

I couldn't have explained it better! If you write your characters well, they take a life of their own and they lead you where you need to go. And of course Oda is a Sensei in his art.

Lucia Petrozzi

That one character who shows up from time to time but have the whole fandom loving him. Daddy Shanks i tell ya ahhaa

Regie Khemvisay

Definitely no reason to fight for Mihawk. He was initially there bcoz marines summoned him. I think he knew the fighting was gonna end in the first place now that Shanks showed up. Ure not alone on this sentiment. Mihawk is just cool like that lol

Regie Khemvisay

I disagree. It was a matter of respect for a friend/rival, plus he knew a fight with Shanks would be futile. Shanks doesn't need two arms to take on Mihawk. With this I am not saying one is tronger than the other, but it would definitely not be an easy win for either of them.

Lucia Petrozzi

And there would be no impel down or marineford arcs..everything happens for a reason

Regie Khemvisay

And to think we were supposed to go there at the end of Sabaody 😅

Lucia Petrozzi

Thats usually how great characters are. Even authors has no control, they start to dictate the plot

Regie Khemvisay

🤣😂🤣😂 u get me Lulu-chan ahaha

Regie Khemvisay

Even Sengoku commented on how outraged WB would be to know BB has now his tremor tremor fruit!

Lucia Petrozzi

Yes, that's a detail that always gets missed because it's mentioned in passing by a marine. Kaidou (read Ka-ee-do) was on his way to Marineford and Shanks intercepted him and stopped him but we don't know how. It doesn't seem plausible that they got into a fight, as none of them would come out unscathed, so my opinion is that Shanks somehow convinced Kaidou to let it be and turn around. Also, getting into a fight with Shanks before going to take on the Marines/Whitebeard would have been a dumb thing to do, even for Kaidou.

Lucia Petrozzi

🎼Daddy Shank's do do do do do do.... 🎶

Lucia Petrozzi

If you remember aisa from skypiea she also felt voices fading whenever someone died. I believe koby has something similar

Ozzy Ramirez

Awesome opening on this drop! 😁

Lucia Petrozzi

"How does it get better?" For me the explanation is that One Piece story builds on itself A LOT because of the world building and the care Oda puts on the story, characters, factions, so you have this feeling that the world just keeps growing and growing. At this point i feel like the story is alive and the characters make decisions on their own, and Oda is just there to put it on the paper and show whats going on.

Alex Recorde

It's not surprising for people to forget about Shanks here, because he was fighting one of the other 4 emperor's in the New World the day before. It's mentioned briefly in the lore drops leading up to the war. That also means he settled that fight and made it from the New World to Marineford in 1 day.

ic1025

Shanks is definitley a big deal in the one piece world we saw this very early on when we see mihawk meet up with him after luffy got his first bounty we found out that mihawk and shanks used to have legendary battles then, we saw shanks clash with whitebeard splitting the sky when shanks warned wb to stop ace from pursuing BB and also before marineford started we had the scene where the marines said two emperors had clashed those being shanks and kaido. The names of all 4 emperors had been revealed prior to marineford u probs just forgot lol. You guys should know a little about shanks' crew such as yassop who is ussops dad is one of the best snipers in the world and ben beckman shanks' right hand you may remember from luffys backstory. But shanks is still a character with lots of mystery around him especially with all the respect the marines and pirates both have for him. You guys still have some 10/10 episodes left to look forward to and loving the great reactions keep it up!

usman

Garp told us Shanks is one of the top 4 pirates, they rule the other half of the grand line called the “new world”. These 4 are called the FOUR EMPERORS. White beard was also one, RIP. At this point only Whitebeard and Shanks have been introduced, the other 2 EMPERORS are still unknown although another emperor was mentioned even in this episode and his name is Kaido. In fact Shanks stopped Kaido from coming to Marineford to get involved in this war that’s why the marines were surprised because Shanks was supposed to be clashing with Kaido but somehow he is already here in Marineford. In this episode we can see that Shanks is very powerful even amongst the top of the verse. Also the scar on his face was from Blackbeard, Shanks told this when he went to meet Whitebeard to suggest stopping Ace from pursuing Blackbeard. If Whitebeard listened to Shanks all of this wouldn’t have happened but i am not complaining because this arc is peak

nahin

Shanks was revealed to be one of the 4 emperors by Garp in water 7 when he told luffy about his dad

victoria t

Swordsmen of one piece have a lot of pride. I mean Look at zoro. Just imagine what the worlds best is like. Mihawk didn’t fight shanks because he takes pity on his arm. It’s shown way back in east blue when mihawk says he’s lost interest in fighting shanks. Also the marines heavy hitters would most likely be involved in the battle taking away from a fair 1v1. It wouldn’t be a satisfying victory if mihawk were the one to win. Especially a battle of this caliber where both parties are supposed to be at the top of the food chain Also In my opinion, he had no problem fighting whitebeard and his crew because it’s just business for him. Fighting shanks is personal for mihawk

Orange cookies

Shanks was stated to be an emperor. Garp mentioned it to luffy after enies lobby

Eric Quan

I felt Jasons "Shaaaaaaaanks....shaaaaanks just showed up!" in my soul!

Josh Stewart

Ohhhh nooooo,,, absolutely none taken!😆😆 we can see what you are saying we just wanted to be clear just in case we weren’t!❤️❤️ we love ya Kyu!😉😉

Jason DeVan

Just to be clear, no offense with my comment, just wanted to share view:)

Kyu

Now Shanks saves Luffy and Coby, both friends. BB did give Shanks those scars. We found out in the one episode when Shanks asked WB not to let Ace go after BB. Yes, its keeps getting better, trust in Oda.

EgregiousGrievous

II know we are fairly new compared to you guys! But I think it comes more of a shock and obviously a respect thing.☺️ not that Mihawk was afraid of him! ❤️ but rather he has more respect for Shanks and who he is!😉

Jason DeVan

Lets not forget we still havent yet reach Fishman Island. Which is the official next island after Water 7.

Blackjack Pot

I dont understand why people use Mihawk to "scale" Shanks on this episode, because Mihawk refused to fight...For me its more like those are friends/rivals(maybe even like brothers or cousins)without any bad blood between them. So why should he fight him on behalf of some third party? But maybe Im alone with this impression, have a nice day.

Kyu

Hell yes Heather. Shanks used haki at that time when he lost his arm. Well spotted 👏👏👏

Al_es_sandro

I was waiting so long for this moment and on the edge of my seat I was holding my breath today….. me as well, when I red that manga chapter and shanks appeared I was like you Jason 🤯🤯🤯 Great reaction guys you are the best ❤️

Al_es_sandro

Shanks can show up for ten minutes and rock the entire pirate world 😅

Super Novice

Jason asked at the end "does it get better than this? How can it get better than this" you probably won't believe us but Jason.. somehow yes, it gets better lol. It's not even an exaggeration. Remember we still haven't made it to the New world yet. The stories there are immaculate and so profound that I can't even describe to you the feelings you have yet to experience. So glad you guys are loving the journey

AnimeTeeJay

oh i remember now, you guys has to watch strong world!

Leandrorr

Shanks’ appearance to stop the fight is both symbolic and meaningful. Not only is he a father figure to Luffy, but Ace is also the son of his beloved former captain. Although he arrived late, he felt it was essential to retrieve Ace's body, ensuring that the Marines would not dishonor the fallen.

theshittycook

we all thought the same during enies lobby..how can the story keep better, and now we get the marineford arc..thing will keep better

Kodo

Now we see how much restraint White Beard had in is life. The more destructive Blackbeard is the more impressive White Beards character is!

Fold

Akagami no Shanks! ❤️ War is over, but we are not done with this peak yet.

Cattt

Now that you have reached the end of this arc there's just one thing I want to comment: For years, Oda has been saying that his motivation for writing/drawing One Piece is that he's really excited about the end of the manga, and he has made the promise that the end of One Piece will make this arc look like nothing... let that sink in for a moment.

Potzi

The amazing thing about Shanks is that he lost his arm before he ever became an emperor which says a lot about the power he has. Also he literally had a run in with another emperor on the way here and still was able to make it seemingly without a scratch. Incredible

Sean Bey0nd

there's just a few episodes to show luffy's next move

Leandrorr

They did mention during the Garp and Dragon reveal back in Post Enies Lobby that Shanks is one of the Four Emperors (Yonkos) but honestly, it hasn't been mentioned since so it makes that Jason forgot - good on you for remembering though Heather. :D Also, Shanks always had those three scars across his eye, and back when Shanks warned Whitebeard to pull Ace back he mentioned that Blackbeard was the one that gave him those scars. Thus, Blackbeard's remark on it was very much a personal threat to Shanks.

Rachel G

Could you imagine if one piece had a DARPA. But yeah just think this Arc is plot building on top of being an incredible arc

Adam V.

Peak!

Fathul Kalong

When Daddy Shanks says the war is over, the war is OVER. lol How does it get better? Is that really your question? lol..but for me the answer is…GODa sensei.

Regie Khemvisay

👑❤️😊

Jason DeVan
