The title said Sulong but we had to wait until the very last minute to actually see the Minks transform and the pacing felt sluggish even with the cool moon shot

Episode Context

Positioned deep in the Wano Country arc's raid sequence, Episode 997 follows directly from the alliance's initial breach of Onigashima in Episode 996, escalating the conflict by introducing the Minks' Sulong power as a major battlefield factor. This episode serves as a bridge between the raid's opening moves and the increasingly personal confrontations ahead, building momentum toward the arc's most consequential showdowns. The stakes established here, particularly the alliance's all-or-nothing commitment, ripple through the episodes that follow.
