YMMV / One Piece Film: Strong World

Go To

  • Base-Breaking Character: Shiki for some. Most find him to be a pretty interesting villain with a good build up. The fact that he's a man that could fight on par with Roger, Sengoku and Garp made for a nice challenge to Luffy. However there are other who find that he didn't live up to the hype since his reason to antagonize the crew was petty and unwarranted, and him going after Nami making him feel like Arlong 2.0. Most likewise were split on his battles, some like the spectacles he could do with his powers, but other also found him cheap and uneven because of it. The fact that Luffy only won due to Shiki being an arrogant idiot rather than put up a struggle only adding to the argument. Then again, you can say the same thing on about a good chunk of the arrogant villains that the Straw Hats have faced who they were not killed by...
  • Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: Shiki's introduction is to perform a bizarre dance number with his crew for the captive Nami. The film begins In Medias Res just a few moments before that, by the way, making the scene even more bewildering.
  • Moe: Xiao.
  • Praising Shows You Don't Watch: The One Piece wiki made a poll for the best OP movie, and Strong World won by a landslide. Fair enough. The problem is, the poll was created before anyone had subbed the movie. Oda's involvement and its arguable canon status at the time note  automatically made it the best One Piece movie, regardless of how the film actually turned out. Granted, some fans might have seen and enjoyed the movie before it was actually subbed, but this doesn't invalidate the trope.
  • Visual Effects of Awesome: Much of the film is eye candy, from the fluidity of Shiki's dance (despite how random it is) to his climactic fight with Luffy.

Alternative Title(s): One Piece Strong World
