The pacing was literally slower in this ep but man, what an intense action it is! The animation was stellar! But it was somehow messy because of that unfamiliar fighting style. Well, kind of hard to watch how the turn of events went that way, huh. To see a glimpse of Rodo's backstory was interesting, and somehow that young Hajrudin was similar to Luffy. And confirming that I heard it right: Kenjiro Tsuda's voice is in the house!
