The episode delves into the psychological state of these warriors. There is no fear, only resolve. The animation team took great care to animate the distinct fighting styles of the samurai, from Kin’emon’s Foxfire Style to the acrobatic ferocity of Raizo. Their attacks are not just physical strikes; they are the manifestation of 20 years of grief and anger.
Despite the episode’s bleak title referring to Kaido’s assault, the secondary plot focuses on Momonosuke. While Luffy is still climbing the Skull Dome (a running gag that continues here), Momo is forced to confront his deepest fear: his father’s killer.
The fandom has noted that this scene is a callback to Luffy standing before the three Admirals at Marineford. You don’t have to win; you just have to show you aren’t afraid to fight. The voice acting for Momonosuke (by Ai Horanai in Japanese) is raw and piercing, selling the terror of a child facing a god.
