Last Sunday had episode 1004 of ONE PIECE, and we got more great animation for the last episode of 2021 and Oden’s inherited will. The episode started with Yamato continuing to chase Momonosuke and Shinobu, with the 2 still reluctant to trust the self-proclaimed Oden. Then we see Black Maria begin to play the shamisen. That’s when the main focus of the episode begins as the Akazaya Nine engage Kaido.
We see each of them has their own style, and they get to show it off in beautiful animation. Kaido still underestimates them and repeats that they are nothing like Oden. Then we get a flashback to the times Oden tried to teach them his Two-Sword style. They couldn’t agree who deserved to inherit it. They pretended to not care, while an annoyed Oden still tried. However, they listened carefully, and they end up surprising Kaido with a Paradise Totsuka of their own.
