Review of One Piece: Episode of Nami - Tears of a Navigator and the Bonds of Friends

It is my third time watching Episode of Nami and for the third time - I cried. This special has done well in reminding the viewers of the anger the fishmen felt earlier in the storyline. It is also my go-to whenever I want to feel emotional. First, it reaffirms that Eiichiro Oda had planned the events of Fishmen Island since the beginning. Justifying the reason why Arlong hates humans and regard them as "inferior beings". How the author was capable of weaving the events together is simply amazing. Second, this is my favourite arc in One Piece. Normally we are used to the happy-going crew butthis arc showed us for the first time that the Straw Hats are not just carefree idiots. It showed us the value of 'nakama' that Luffy believes in as well as the growth of Nami and Usopp (the coward) from their friendship.

Besides, Kurobi vs Sanji and Hachi vs Zoro are one of the best East Blue fights. I have nothing against Hachi after Sabaody Archipelago but that final damage from Zoro was so satisfying.
