Very pleased with how short they kept the flashback sequence. I'm sure somebody must have been tempted to reanimate Kinemon and gang's entire journey from Punk Hazard to write off the rest of the episode's content as filler. Though it would have been a nice touch to point out that even before they landed in Punk Hazard, the Strawhats were talking about Samurai and traveling to the land of Wano someday.
Lol, I guess now we know that was Denjiro and Kiku standing on the left all along.
All that said, next week starts the wild ride. It should be one hard-hitting episode after the next until we finish the intro to Act 2. Both the anime and manga kicking it into high gear, the next month or two is pure hype.
