If you ever needed a reminder of why One Piece’s world-building is unrivaled in the anime medium, this episode is the blueprint. Ever since the heart-wrenching flashbacks of the Enies Lobby arc, the tragedy of Ohara and the fate of Jaguar D. Saul have loomed over Nico Robin’s entire life. Episode 1164 finally brings that long-buried grief full circle on the shores of Elbaph, delivering an episode that replaces standard battle shonen hype with raw, unadulterated emotional execution.
