One Piece fans take to Twitter as they express excitement over the release of episode 1017
One of the first things that One Piece fans took note of and deeply appreciated was the quality of work that had gone into the episode. With top-tier visuals, Toei Animation has clearly set a high standard both for themselves and the fanbase as well.
The sequence where Luffy used the Kong Gatling was visually pleasing, to say the least. Fans have given the unanimous verdict that the episode had some of the best animation of the series.
Fans also took the opportunity to make fun of Big Mom and made references to the Skypeiai arc. Big Mom was quite shocked that Luffy was unfazed by lightning and could launch a counter, which had the entire fanbase hyped.
Fans, who have been waiting for this moment for a long time, are quite happy to see just how much Luffy has grown.
Coming back to Luffy, One Piece fans on Twitter could not get over the combat moves that he used. Kong Gatling and Kong Rifle were some of the highlights of episode 1017.
Another frame that fans have been obsessing over is the shot of Zoro. The colors were extremely well-done and the glint produced by the sword added to the top-notch visuals.
Another thing that fans loved was the Slam Gibson move used against Kaido. The visuals were great, but the overall effective force of the attack had the fanbase quite excited. It was enthralling to see Eustass Kid's strength when he flung Kaido, dealing a ton of damage.
Fans are eagerly waiting in anticipation as the series inches closer towards the end of the arc. It will be interesting to see how the fight progresses.
The upcoming episode of One Piece will be released on May 22, 2022. Fans are hoping that Toei will be able to maintain the same quality of animation for the rest of the arc as well.
