One Piece Went All Out With Episode 1017: Watch

05/15/2022 11:49 pm EDT

One Piece really went all out with the action scenes in Episode 1017 of the anime, so now is the time to check it out! As a whole, fans have noticed a huge shift behind the scenes when Dragon Ball Super: Broly director Tatsuya Nagamine took over as the main one steering the shift for the Wano Country arc. This has not only resulted in some of the best scenes in the series to date, but many episodes fans are now considering the best in the anime's run overall. As it continues beyond the 1000th episode mark, it's clear there are no signs of slowing down.

While fans had just gotten to see a major masterpiece in the series a couple of weeks ago as One Piece set the stage for the fight between the Emperors and the Worst Generation, the newest episode of the series has officially kicked off their fight in full with a bang with some of the best sequences in the Wano arc overall. As Luffy, Kid, Law, Zoro, and Killer fight against Kaido and Big Mom, it's clear that there are going to be even more explosive scenes to come if Episode 1017 is anything to go by. Check out some of the big examples spotted by fans below: 

Episode 1017 of One Piece is titled "A Barrage of Powerful Techniques! The Fierce Attacks of the Worst Generation!" and the episode certainly lives up to the title as both the Worst Generation and Emperors unleash some impressive attacks on their own. Each one is launching some of their strongest attacks at their disposal, but at the same time, the Emperors themselves aren't really expending that same amount of effort. It's going to show just how wide of a gap between the two sides their really is. 

While Luffy and the others are giving everything they had to deal any kind of damage to Kaido, the Emperor himself is just brushing all of the attacks with the same thick skin that had been giving Luffy a problem at the beginning of the arc. Then there's Big Mom, who's just standing by and picking them off from afar with her lightning and flame attacks. It's going to be a tough fight from here on out, but at least the team behind the anime is going all out as well.
