The Worst Generation Gets Wiped Out?! The Emperors' Deadly Attack!

Battling the puppet Oden controlled by Kanjuro, the Nine Red Scabbards and Izou are caught off guard when the drawing exposes a lit explosive vest. Ashura Doji throws himself into the figure and drives it through a window an instant before the charge goes off, the blast claiming both of them. His comrades are left to mourn. Elsewhere Kanjuro keeps hunting Momonosuke, vowing to end his lifelong masquerade by slaying the boy and then dying himself.

In a separate chamber a bitter Orochi tips over a cask of oil and ignites it, setting the fortress ablaze; when Beasts Pirates try to douse the flames he cuts them down, set on burning Onigashima as payback against Kaidou. The surviving Scabbards then collide with Jack amid fallen Mink warriors, and Inuarashi peels off to hold him while the rest press on. On another front Marco races in to back Chopper against a recovering Queen. Atop the roof, with Law unable to teleport the rookies clear because of their Haki, the two Emperors loose Hakai, a shockwave Zoro alone manages to block, shielding his allies at the cost of grave wounds.

The anime stages Orochi personally cutting down the Beasts Pirates, whereas the manga gave that act to Fukurokuju acting on Orochi's order. A fresh scene of Marco and Chopper continuing their clash with Queen is also added, and the moment confirming Orochi's survival runs longer than in print. Luffy tries to strike back at the end, but Kaidou slips aside and readies a follow-up. The episode is part of the Wano Country Arc.
