This is a detail I've only ever since in One Piece to the degree it is done. We've seen their journey up to this point, and we know exactly why everything is in place, we know exactly why they act the way they are, why they use what they use, and what their resolve is. The reason I'm saying all this is because I think it's one of the things that makes us so close to the Straw Hats. we know the importance of every scar on their bodies, whether it's the one Luffy gave himself as a kid(although I may be recalling this as a manga detail), or Zoro's Mihawk scar, we understand where their weapons came from whether it's Nami's weapon Usopp made, Zoro's swords he bought because one was cursed, Usopp's slingshot he's used since he was a kid, we know where their hats are from with Luffy's straw hat coming from Shanks, and Chopper's hat coming from Hiriluk(maybe even Zoro's and I could be forgetting currently), and we even know where their ship is from, it's from Kaya and they got it from the Khaladore battle.

Last thing I wanted to mention was something I thought of when Usopp got mad about Luffy and Sanji 'breaking Kaya's ship'.

Even if we never see him again I'll imagine he'll become a good cook in Sanji's footsteps. All that and maybe he's also lost his hatred for all pirates. Not only was he able to stay on the ship with Sanji's guidance, but he also has a role model, and has had an adult who he admires tell him that his dream isn't stupid. If this is common practice and the only real coincidence is the dream of the All Blue I take this back, but it felt too on the nose while watching.Īnd even though Taijo is a complete filler character, probably to never show up again, seeing the impact Sanji left on him was touching. I think Taijo parroted Sanji a little too much, he got the exact same advice from his chef about why he's been only washing dishes, the fact the two were made to wash dishes for such a long period of time before being able to cook, and his life goal being the All Blue. I am however against these fillers happening before Nico Robbin is characterized since the dynamic and interactions between the Straw hats and Nico feel unnatural as no one knows her yet.

We hardly see Nico Robbin do anything so it was cool seeing her play a part in what happened, but moreover this opening showed us three of the Straw Hats talents in synergy so I appreciated that. I use good loosely, but as a break from the long and constantly moving One Piece arcs it was.įirst thing I want to mention is how Nico Robbin saved Taijo from falling and then Chopper tended to his wounds, and Sanji gave him a meal to make him feel better. Apart from the elongated cooking scene where it repeated Taijo almost making a mistake, Sanji giving him a tip, him fixing it too many times and it spent too much time on him actually adding individual ingredients and such, it was good. As out of place this comfy filler was on the grand line I must concede I enjoyed it.
