It was not an issue to let go off the speed once the extending storyline of Wano was on track. However this arc is now getting towards flippant types of quests and because of it every week more and more setbacks are filling up. Hopefully the meet up of Urashima in Bakura town can be reduced into a single episode whether in the coming episodes they have to stuff something in order to maintain balance. And the previous two episodes were very easy to be combines as one episode.
In previous week we had witness that how Luffy confront Urashima to fight with him in sumo match and the whole week was covered to finish this monotonous wrestle thoroughly. It was good to see this fight but this fight doesn’t deal with the basic and main issue. In this fight we had to repeatedly see that how Urashima swirl sumo strikes at Luffy and how Luffy always ducked it like it was nothing to him. The episode was started by showing that how Urashima and Luffy was drawing back from each other’s strikes and how they both move around the rim of the circle in order to be stable enough. This thought was wondering that how this anime will adjust the fight in this speed and then it was understood by the fact in beginning that it’s not even going to attempt to cover it.
The whole storyline of this Bakura Town make sure that there is a hint of cheerfulness in the arc of Wano. It is a slight of distraction in order that the strength and force of One Piece does not die because of the complex experiences and the evil conspiracies. But despite of it this whole storyline feels bring and meaningless. It is normal for this anime to reverse its own impetus by creating diversion and witty plots to the side but this storyline is not that enjoyable. From the villains of this anime Urashima is one of them and his fate comes along with Luffy’s slogan that “I’m gonna be King of the Pirates!” which could have been more impactful if it was in previous episodes. There is much more important cases in this story which is surely occupying the mind of the fans and due to that it’s not easy to just loosen up and praise the muscular body of Luffy. It’s rather funny that this storyline carryout a sumo competition but this wrestle was not barely exciting or intimidating.
But all of this can be forgive and forget if only the speed was good. The storyline is having the same movement in every stage that Luffy is constantly overcoming lowlife villains in such places where he have to lie low, where as there is a lovable and cute girl who has been captured and also there is a conspiracy related to the past of Wano that signify that how the good peoples who hold authority had been blamed by the bad people and how nowadays they are the one with authorities. We have been rounding the confusion of One Piece principles a chain of personification and models that have been equally attempt to be challenged. No matter for what Eiichiro Oda has considered of joining these all factors but it will be pleasant if these important progress goes smoothly.
