One Piece episode 1122 was legendary, possibly one of the best yet! The animation was superb; the emotional stakes impossibly high.

Episode 1122 picked up where 1121 left off, showcasing that epic showdown with Avalo Pizarro, that super dangerous pirate and his crazy Isle-Isle Fruit abilities. Koby, our ever-growing underdog, felt utterly helpless until Garp inspires him and provides an opening; that leads into a glorious moment. Pure spectacle!
