The colors and the lines for this flashback look so different from the rest of the show and it made Oden look like an absolute unit on my screen

Episode Context

Coming directly off the Nine Red Scabbards steeling themselves for battle despite mounting setbacks, Episode 960 pivots into an extended flashback, a narrative strategy One Piece deploys at critical arc junctures to deepen emotional stakes. This episode establishes the foundation of Kozuki Oden's legacy, providing crucial backstory that recontextualizes the motivations of Kin'emon, Denjiro, and the entire Scabbards' mission. It marks the beginning of Oden's flashback arc, setting the stage for a sustained deep-dive into Wano's history that will inform every major conflict ahead.
