Ok now that I properly watched the episode, it was well executed overall. The anime always delivers with the added post battle wind down scenes. Nami, Usopp, Tama, Chopper and Brook just wandering around the banquet sets a really comfortable atmosphere, validating the reason Wano fighters are taking on the challenge themselves.
Momonosuke continues to shine, not only in his individual journey, but also in his wholesome relationships with Luffy and Zoro. Great to see Luffy encouraging him and Zoro proud of his student's progress. Smart of the SH big 4 fighters not to intervene and allow him to stand on his own.
Obviously Shanks is just GOAT, no elaboration needed. Aramaki, on the other hand, shouldn't be dismissed regardless of petty powerscaling shenanigans. So much untapped potential in the final saga to make him a memorable admiral.
Finally, Yamato's retconned crewmember arc still baffles me. Don't think any anime additions will change my mind. And of course can't wait for Conjeo Blanco scenes next week for the memes
