The wave then fully comes down, and the Straw Hats are seen in midair attack poses (with Jinbe starting Episode 981). Another wave then comes crashing down, and in between the falling water scenes from the episode are shown. The opening then cuts to Luffy standing with an underwater background as he shows flashes of his Kenbunshoku and Busoshoku Haki. Starting with Episode 976, the images from Sabo onwards were replaced with Nekomamushi and Izou at the back entrance to the the Skull Dome, Marco activating his powers, the Tobiroppo in room inside Kaidou's Castle before their close-ups appear on screen, and Yamato (silhouetted with eyes glowing until Episode 992) with her mask flying off and staring at the screen with Oden, Roger, and Newgate in the background. Roger and Edward Newgate that happened many years ago, followed by a shot of Roger, Whitebeard, and Oden. Following this, the opening shows a clash between Gol D. The next shot shows Koby and X Drake separated by a diagonal line the line then flips around as a shot of Sakazuki and Fujitora is shown. Teach is then seen dropping to the ground on a jungle island before performing a slash with his claw weapon. Ace, Sabo, and a young Shanks and Buggy jumping out. The opening then shows shots of Jinbe performing Fish-Man Karate, Portgas D. The opening then cuts to a shot of Luffy, Eustass Kid, and Trafalgar Law in Wano, with each of them forcibly trying to pull ahead of the others. Kurozumi Orochi then appears in his Yamata no Orochi form, and Kaidou and Big Mom appear in the background of his shot when it zooms out. Kyoshiro then appears, and when he turns around we see a background of him shedding tears (starting on Episode 977 he appears in his former appearance with his glasses). These shots respectively end with Kanjuro and Kin'emon jumping up and performing a sword strike in the viewer's direction. This is followed by two shots of the Nine Red Scabbards: the first one shows Inuarashi, Nekomamushi, Kikunojo, Raizo, and Kanjuro, while the second one shows Kin'emon, Ashura Doji, Kawamatsu (silhouetted until Episode 948), and Denjiro (silhouetted until Episode 977). The Straw Hats each jump toward the screen in order, with Luffy jumping up last and throwing a punch toward the screen, and the One Piece logo then appears over a background of a sky and fluttering cherry blossoms.Ī wave then comes crashing toward the screen, and immediately following its landing we see Kozuki Oden, followed by shots of Momonosuke and Hiyori over a background of the burning Oden Castle. Kaidou then appears in his dragon form and confronts Luffy along with the other members of the Straw Hat Pirates.
