Oden leaving his crew to go back and save his country is such a massive moment and you can really see how much he cared about Wano despite being away for so long
rosa_sisters_276
The Scabbards standing in front of those wrecked ships actually broke me and they spent twenty years waiting for this one night just for everything to fall apart at the very end
mello_maverick
The animation for the Fire Festival looked great but the way they stretched out the transition into the storm felt a bit slow and it took a while to actually get to the port
tsuchigumo_temptress_71
I can not believe someone sold them out like that and I am constantly trying to figure out who the traitor is because someone clearly leaked the entire plan to Orochi
geeta_360
It is impressive that they covered multiple chapters in one go and the atmosphere of that storm at the port really sold the feeling that the raid is already doomed
thecatlife
I felt so bad for Kinemon when he realized the ships were gone and seeing the Scabbards so hopeless in the rain made the start of this act feel really heavy
uryu_archer_102
The way it kept cutting between Orochi celebrating and the Scabbards standing in the rain made the whole situation feel way more desperate
prince_demande_379
Roger having young Shanks and Buggy as trainees on his ship is such a cool detail and it makes the world feel so much bigger
jonathan_joestar_196
Everything felt so hopeless when the Red Scabbards reached the port, especially since Orochi was laughing it up while the ships were sinking.
moryomaru_252
Kinemon looking out at the empty sea with the storm raging around him was such a heavy way to start this new act of the story
viral_187
I feel so bad for Kinemon seeing him stand there at the empty port and everything he worked for is just gone because someone definitely ratted them out
bleach_bankai_459
I was so happy to see young Shanks and Buggy on the ship with Roger and Rayleigh but then the episode went back to the present and ruined my mood with all those destroyed ships
megumi_mantra
I felt sick when the camera panned across the wreckage of the boats and I realized the entire plan for the revolution was leaked to the shogun
ami_mizuno
I felt so bad for Kinemon when he realized the plan failed and he started crying about being abandoned by heaven because that man has been through way too much already
sophocles_343
Rayleigh looked so young in that flashback and it was a great way to open act three before the show decided to crush our spirits with that failed rendezvous at the port
yukio_yukimura_490
Orochi knowing about the troop numbers and the meeting spot is a nightmare because that means someone on the inside is selling everyone out to the enemy
notlem
All alone at the port, with nothing but splintered wood in the water, the red scabbards' silent vigil just twisted my stomach. After all the hope they'd held onto, seeing them so utterly isolated and betrayed by the dark, empty night really made me wonder how they'd ever recover.
luna_375
How could the entire alliance just vanish like that and leave the Scabbards alone in the rain and everyone needs to know what happened
tyme_366
I honestly wasn't ready for the emotional shift from the fun Roger flashback to the misery at Tokage Port. Seeing Kinemon break down and say they were abandoned by heaven was genuinely painful, and it felt even worse since they worked so hard for this. The way the animators made the sea look like a monster really sold how doomed the scabbards felt in that moment
samebito_samurai_84
The scene with Zoro and Sanji arguing about their bounties was exactly what I needed to break up all the stress from the raid falling apart
EPISODE CONTEXT
Episode 959 serves as the definitive pivot point in the Wano arc, launching Act Three after Episode 958's Roger and Garp historical detour brought broader world-building context. The Red Scabbards' predicament here directly sets the trajectory for the Onigashima raid, transforming all the preparation and alliance-building of prior episodes into immediate, high-stakes reality. Everything from this point forward escalates toward the arc's central confrontation.
