Since joining the Wano arc, the production of ONE PIECE has turned to qualitatively more satisfactory episodes than in the past. The protagonists of the work have been taken up in a new guise thanks to the new direction and character design commissioned by Toei Animation to rejuvenate the style of the anime.
With the completion of Oden’s flashback we are back in the present and the preview of the last episode had already made it clear that ONE PIECE 978 would be volcanic due to the presence of the worst generation in one place. However, viewers probably didn’t expect an episode like this to appear in Seconds it was driving Twitter crazy to become a trend.
The production of this episode could count on animators of the caliber of Masami Morita, Sugita, Nireki, Isuta, Maenami, Hashimoto and Ishigami who Cope with different stages of attacks and transformations from Luffy, Kid and Law and. The video of the trio fighting on the ship has now popped up all over the place, showing the quality and timing of an episode that is a feast for the eyes while not focusing much on the progression of the plot.
Obviously, most of the viewers let themselves be captured by the clash of the three supernovas, but other animations as well as the photographs of the rest of the episode went viral. Finally, ONE PIECE 978 has decided to start the Battle of Onigashima in a great way. Below are some reactions from fans and sites who follow ONE PIECE on Twitter. And now let’s try to understand what the quality of ONE PIECE Episode 1000 will be like when it arrives in a couple of months.
One of the best animated episodes in OP history and 90% of it is basically filler. What a time to be alive

WTTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF !!!!
One Piece # 978 had a specially boarded sequence this week that included an incredible animator season. Go from Masami Mori to Sugita (Luffy flies), then Nireki (Kidd), Isuta (Law) and Maenami (Luffy G4) to Hashimoto (explosion) and Ishigami (the three fall). Brilliant. pic.twitter.com/NyxQmsIlQB

The photography and CG teams did such a phenomenal job that the whole thing became * so * seamless. I didn’t even know it was CG at first. Such cohesion is a rarity when it comes to mixing 3D and 2D animation in anime. I am still absolutely stunned. https://t.co/enCuem7ySm
