One Piece fans are bidding a tearful farewell to Oden after the newest episode of the anime! The series has been making its way through a special flashback arc following Oden Kozuki’s life and adventures in Wano’s past for the past few months now, and the newest episode of the series brought this arc one major step closer to its end. After kicking off the Legendary Hour in which he tried to survive a horrible boiling execution together with his retainers, the newest episode of the series brings the hour to its unfortunate close.
With the previous episode of the series already making things terrible by having Oden survive even a few minutes in the boiling oil, the newest episode of the series broke hearts with Oden’s final moments. Knowing that he would meet his end at the end of the hour through just the oil or being killed by Kaido and Orochi in some other way, Oden faced his death head on with a smile.

A Poetic Ending…
Yoshikazu Tomita first formally introduced us to Oden in the anime and in this episode he also had the honor to animate his farewell to us. If that’s not poetic, Idk what is. pic.twitter.com/y5z8PMFhfF

10/10. One of the best episodes of the series and a tragic but satisfying end to Kozuki Oden. Salute to him.
