- Traitor Kanjuro meet traitor Denjiro.
- I liked the foreshadowing from 976 when Denjiro bowed before Orochi and his hair deattached from the top of his skull, hinting it was a wig all along. But why must it be so? I loved the fluffy blue pomp Frankyfans must have sent in some nasty letters.
- The CGI samurai fleet is way too powerful for the enormous waves that should be sinking or at least tipping these ships over.
- I love Kin'emon's 5D chess face.
- Bruh, you're going to tease us with Kid and Luffy and not show anything?
- Kanjuro with a brush on one hand, a b!tch on the other, and Kawamatsu's angry sword swings powerless to stop him. What a boss.
- Kanjuro got away far too easily here. I hope next episode proves me wrong.
Not much to say about this episode. Extra long recap, lots of flashbacks, almost entirely exposition. The usual outsourcing product. I thought the OST choices were strangely good, loved almost everything especially Denjiro's introduction. There was one bad track in there right after the eyecatcher that turned Kin'emon's gag into a serious moment, but that's all. If they really needed to waste time, breaking down the samurai forces by leaders and numbers (Kyoshiro family = 200, Atamayama bandits = 280, Musketeers = 200, Udon prisoners = 3500) like last week would have been useful.
