episode 315: Its Name Is the New World! the Fate of the Grand Line! (part 2 of 2)
what a fucking insane frame. wow. that COMPLETELY once again recontextualizes an older scene. oda really does a phenomenal job at that. i wondered why he did it, and now we know! great reveal.
i wonder if, truly left to her own devices, robin would actually just study the archeology of the poneglyphs, or whether she would pursue development of pluton as part of her research.
aokiji seems to think she would.
not me having the slightest bit of pity for him. like he wanted to put this whole "i had to kill my best friend" behind him, but nico robin represents his whole past he was trying to forget. i can understand that. that doesn't make him any less terrifying or erase his whole mindless government tool actions, but still.
nami's tangerine tree works quite well in this analogy, i think!
really like this moment. he is giving her a chance to prove herself. not that she should have to, but still!!!
the mark on the wall where he leaned is so cool.
nothing like our favorite captain to ruin the intensity and lighten the mood.
i like that he literally rides off into the sunset.
one of my favorite quotes in the whole show.
she's got her work cut out for her, i'd say, lmao.
what a great ep. lots of really important lore drops as of late. wonder how they will impact the coming arcs.
also, fun fact, all of these screencaps were from the last FOUR MINUTES of the episode. very dense for such a short time left!
