The Wano arc from One Piece was the longest arc in the series to date, lasting more than two years and a half. Even more noteworthy is the Wano Arc’s ability to maintain the interest of many One Piece fans over its generally slower sections, despite being the longest arc to date. Well, we are going to take a look at our top 5 best episodes from this glorious arc!

Season 982

Unquestionably, the second episode directed by Megumi Ishitani from the Wano Arc is among the greatest to date. The whole episode, from the storyboarding to the voice acting to the animation and everything in between, was extraordinarily well-made.

For many people, this episode continues to be one of their all-time favorites. It has grown to be one of the most recognizable episodes among fans. While some contend Ishitani’s third attempt at directing the show is her greatest to date, episode 982 is a very close second or perhaps the fan favorite.

Episode 1000

The historic One Piece Episode 1000, which was legendary for several reasons, comes second on the list. One reason to put the episode here is that it commemorates the series’ entry into the relatively limited and exclusive club of anime with 1000+ episodes.

The animation and directing were also excellent, and the voice performers delivered fantastic performances. The next One Piece Film: Red, which is scheduled to hit Japanese cinemas on August 6, 2022, was also teased in this episode. Overall, the episode has enormous significance because of what it stands for and because of how well-made it is.

Episode 1015

Many people hailed One Piece Episode 1015 as their greatest favorite of the whole series since it was fantastic from beginning to end. The episode was excellent and launched the anime’s

much-anticipated Roof Piece, which featured a rooftop fight between the Worst Generation and the two Yonko.

The episode is another Megumi Ishitani-directed production, and her commitment to professionalism and high standards is evident throughout. Throughout the whole show, there are absolutely no corners cut and every scene is crisply animated. Episode 1015 is without a doubt deserving of a place on our list.

Episode 1016

One Piece Episode 1016 is the first entrée meal for the much-lauded portion of the Onigashima Raid if episode 1015 was the appetizer for Roof Piece in the anime. The episode doubles what its predecessor accomplished and features 23 minutes of nonstop action between the Yonko and the Worst Generation.

As in the last episode, the animation is of the highest caliber, maybe even more so given the dynamic animation that combat sequences need. With the exception of a handful, the episode’s attention to detail surpasses that of most of the series’ prior installments. The episode is well deserving of its position on our list.

Episode 957

The last item on this list is One Piece episode 957, which marked Megumi Ishitani’s series debut as a director. The main emphasis of the episode is on the important developments after the Reverie, including a hint at Sabo’s future and the dissolution of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Ishitani had the ultimate say on the beautiful animation that made the episode, and it was performed flawlessly.

This episode’s selection was mostly motivated by how distinctive it was in comparison to other Wano Arc episodes at the time, signaling an improvement in quality comparable to that of an anime feature.

Even 18 months after its original airing, the episode has had a lasting effect on the community because it was so fantastic.
