I wasn't expecting much going in to it, but this turned out to be amazing. I really hope we can get more in the future.
Also, seeing the Marineford battle from the ground level was a great contrast to how it's previously been shown in such a horrifying way for all the rank and file fighters.

Well, if this is the best way to dip dip one's toes into the franchise, then I guess I'll give it a shot.

This is a pretty terrible introduction, it throws a ton of references and call-backs at the viewer very quickly and without explaining anything. And the whole thing is a love letter to the fans, its core conceit is being a 20 minute thesis on what makes One Piece special to those who love it - which is lost if you don't share that love.

Not really. This special expects from you to be caught up to episode 521 at least. It's very much meant for existing fans like the title suggests.

How does the special episode's focus on ordinary characters impacted by the Straw Hats' adventures contribute to the overall One Piece narrative and fan experience?
