I actually teared up when Luffy and Zoro hugged because it felt like a lifetime since they were on screen together
sailor_pluto
Luffy putting his straw hat on Otama was a sweet moment because he only shares that hat with people he trusts
anya_alstreim
Luffy dodging everything with that future sight makes him look so smooth while he navigates the wasteland like a pro

My heart was so full seeing the boys back together after waiting over a hundred episodes for this reunion
raiju_rider
It took two whole story arcs but the duo is finally back and ready to wreck everyone in Wano
skull_kid
Zoro using observation haki and cutting through those guys so easily shows how much stronger he got since we saw him last, and his confidence is just on another level
reiner_ronin
Zoro is in the middle of a literal wasteland and all he can think about is finding some sake
panda_power_138
Zoro and Luffy taking on an entire wasteland together is exactly what the show needed after all this time apart and the animation during their little reunion was so clean
shion_secretary
When Zoro actually dropped his guard and flashed a real smile for Luffy, it honestly made my day, I've seriously missed seeing their dynamic. I know they're gonna be an unstoppable force, and I'm buzzing to see all the trouble they'll kick up together now that they're finally reunited!
rengoku_radiance
I have been waiting for Luffy and Zoro to find each other again for so long and seeing them both look that happy made me smile so much
zoro_zenith
Luffy handled the news about Ace with such maturity, which was just like how Jinbe talked to him after the war.

You can tell how much Otama means to Luffy when he puts his hat on her head and it carries so much weight because he never lets that hat go
ves_ves
When Luffy and Zoro finally reunited in Wano, I swear I got chills just watching them effortlessly take down those enemies. it's been such a long time since we've seen them really go all out together, and man, they didn't waste a second reminding everyone why they're such a powerhouse duo!
levi_lance
Zoro just happening to be in the middle of a wasteland eating toxic meat is so fitting for him and that duo is finally back
nanami_nexus
It felt so good hearing the classic comedy again and Luffy complaining about his stomach right after that big reunion moment really made me laugh
ashiaraiyashiki
Drawing their blades together against Hawkins at the end of the episode was such a cool moment and it finally feels like the real fight in Wano is here
usagi_tsukino_372
I actually started tearing up when Luffy hugged Zoro so hard, because it has been years since we saw them together and their bond is still my favorite thing in the world
eren_yeager_106
Watching Luffy carry Otama through the heat just to find a doctor shows his true character, and the way he handed her his straw hat was a really touching gesture. Then he just runs into Zoro and they start acting like idiots immediately. It was funny how Zoro could tell that sword was special but Luffy refused to let him see it.

I actually cried when Luffy and Zoro hugged because it has been years for us and weeks for them since they were on the same screen together. Luffy telling Otama about Ace was so direct and honest and it showed he knows exactly how to handle someone losing a brother.

Otama putting on the straw hat felt like such a huge gesture and it shows how much Luffy trusts her already
EPISODE CONTEXT
Picking up directly from Luffy's initial arrival in Wano and his encounter with Otama around Episode 893, this episode deepens the emotional groundwork of the Wano Country arc while keeping the crew's reunion in motion. It bridges the early exploration phase of Wano with the escalating conflicts ahead, directly setting up the pivotal confrontation with Basil Hawkins in Episode 898. The Ace connection introduced here becomes a recurring emotional thread throughout the arc.
