As the brawl between Kid and Law and Big Mom came to an end, One Piece 1066 provided fans with a top-tier animation

One Piece episode 1066 was released on Sunday, June 25, 2023, and within minutes, it began to become popular online. As soon as fans finished watching the episode, they took to social media to share their excitement.

The opening scene of One Piece 1066 gave viewers goosebumps as it showed Captain Kid on the verge of death and then teasing life flashing before his eyes. However, as soon as he heard Law yelling at him to do it, he regained his composure. The action then switched to Yamato and then to Momonosuke, who was outside pulling Onigashima away from the Flower Capital. As he was pulling Onigashima, he thought of his family and his promise to defend the Land of Wano.

As these scenes were shown in One Piece 1066, viewers went insane, with one commenting that the episode was at its peak; however, this was not the only case due to which fans were all over the internet. As the episode progressed, Kid and Big Mom began to fight. Kid was seen wrestling with his Corna Dio against Big Mom and knocking her down for a brief moment.

However, as soon as Big Mom stood up, she slashed Kid's metallic bull in half. Kid then used his Assign on Big Mom, rendering her unable to flee, and quickly launched his metallic bull at her. Big Mom, on the other hand, escaped the assault. Following that, Kid and Law launched a barrage of assaults at her and succeeded in gradually weakening her, but once more, she defended herself.

Nonetheless, up until this point, fans had been raving about how good and smooth the animation of One Piece 1066 was, which was surprising when compared to other weekly anime, and how there were no fillers between the frames. Not only that, but the scene in which he launched a barrage of assaults was also very well executed. But then came another major scene from One Piece 1066, which caused the internet to erupt.

The major scene where people were moved in One Piece 1066 was when Big Mom unleashed her Mother's Visit Cannon: 3,000 Leagues of Misery technique, Misery. As Misery was launched, she started attacking Kid and everyone nearby indiscriminately. However, just as she was about to finish Kid, Law used his Takt on the Emperor before using his K-Room: Anaesthesia and stabbing her in the chest.

As Law stabbed her in the chest, he extended his sword beyond Onigashima and even into the earth's crust. Nonetheless, Big Mom attempted to punch and restrain him, but it was ineffective. Finally, Law used his Puncture Wille, and Kid used his Damned Punk technique, which fired a beam at Big Mom, causing her defeat and sending her through the hole.

As Big Mom was defeated, One Piece 1066 ended, and fans of the series were moved not only by the quality of the animation but also by how well the later half, when Misery appeared, was handled. The feelings of the characters were excellently conveyed, in addition to the superb animation. Other elements, such as the episode's pace and character voices, also contributed to the episode's popularity on the internet.

Aside from that, the otaku community is overjoyed with One Piece 1066, as it provides top-tier animation and surprises. One Twitter user even praised the teased Luffy vs Kaido scene. On the other hand, the majority of the fanbase was surprised by how well the studio handled Law's teleportation and his Puncture Wille.

One Piece 1066 has been a visual treat for the series' fans. With the most recent episode proving to be an absolute thriller, fans of the series are eagerly anticipating the next episode and the final fight between Luffy and Kaido.
