What Happened In One Piece Episode #1112?
Produced by Toei Animation; Directed by Wataru Matsumi
One Pieceepisode #1112, “Clash! Shanks vs. Eustass Kid,” opened with a brief flashback showing York taking control of the Seraphim to plot out her betrayal, even commanding S-Snake to petrify her so no one would suspect her of being the traitor. From there, the episode continued to show the increasing chaos surrounding Egghead, even revealing thatthe Blackbeard Pirates, last seen fighting Law and the Heart Pirates, were on their way to Egghead, as well.
The episode then went away from Egghead Island to focus on the fight between Shanks and Kid. As the Kid Pirates made their way toward Elbaf, they were intercepted by a fleet of Shanks’ subordinates, most of whom, to Kid’s annoyance, were there because Shanks liked them and not because they were strong enough for the New World. Not wanting to deal with them,Kid summoned his railgun and prepared to use Damned Punkto blow all of Shanks' subordinates away.
Shanks' Observation Haki gave him a vision of all the death and destruction Kid was going to cause, so he abandoned any plans of taking things easy and took out Kid in a single attack, with Killer even getting caught in the crossfire trying to protect Kid. With Kid at death’s door, the Kid Pirates begged Shanks for mercy, even offering up their Road Poneglyphs, but Shanks ignored them as Dorry and Brogy destroyed their ship. Everyone sank into the ocean, and the final words of the episode were the narrator saying thatShanks destroyed the Kid Pirates.
One Piece Finally Shows Off Why Shanks Is An Emperor
Episode #1112 shows off what makes Shanks such a terrifying and elusive force
One Pieceepisode #1112 more than succeeded at showingwhy Red-Haired Shanks is an Emperor. Kid had just established himself as a major player by defeating Big Mom alongside Law, soShanks defeating Kid in a single move shows just how strong Shanks isand how much Kid still needed to grow to take on an Emperor single-handedly. The fact that Shanks used one of Roger’s attacks to do it sold that point even further, as it made a clear statement of Shanks' being on an entirely different level from what Kid would be capable of dealing with.
The animation and overall direction forOnePieceepisode #1112 also did a great job of selling Shanks' power. Episode #1112 was another episode of theOne Pieceanime with creative and all-around gorgeous art and animation, and thanks to that,theOne Pieceanime managed to sell Shanks' power and overall presence as an Emperor even more than the manga could. Episode #1112’s director, Wataru Matsumi, previously directed the similarly gorgeous episode #11101, and overall, he was the perfect person to bring Shanks' power to life.
