One Piece Episode 1066: Reddit Fandom Gets Excited Over The Fiery Fight between Kid and Law and Big Mom
One Piece Episode 1066 unquestionably has one of the finest animations in history, and it repeatedly serves as a reminder of why the show is devotedly adored by millions of viewers across the globe.
I had the incredible honor of getting to storyboard and direct One Piece episode 1066.
Many international artists, including friends of mine from New York and various Japanese anime studios, helped me complete this. I can not thank everyone enough. It`s a dream come true. pic.twitter.com/iTxxrKS74f— Henry Thurlow (@henry_thurlow) June 25, 2023
Henry Thurlow, an American animator who has also frequently worked as One Piece’s animator, has directed Episode 1066 for the first time in One Piece’s history.
So episode was directed by a american, Henry Thurlow. He’s the first foreigner to direct an episode of One Piece (and maybe for a Toei animation series period). He’s on twitter if you want to pop over and congratulate him on a job well done!

One Piece Episode 1066 accelerated the Wano Arc’s finale with the enraging fight between Trafalgar Law and Eustass Kid against Big Mom. Fans were emotional and enthusiastic over Captain Kid, who returned from the verge of death to take down Big Mom with the help of Law.
Beginning set a nice tone. The sequences were great, animation style fit well. Flashback fluff wasn’t terrible, that kaido cut was savage. One transition I was like tf is happening haha it was 🔥overall though

Fans were left shaking after seeing Episode 1066, which saw Kid on the brink of death, seeing life flash before his eyes.
That Kid opening was so sick with the stenciled flashbacks, and I am glad the anime touches upon Kid’s backstory that isn’t covered in the manga. Henry Thurlow is a true fan of One Piece and I really hope Toei allows him and other foreign directors to make more episodes more often. Congrats to the team that handled this episode! Definitely a top 3 episode in the Wano arc for me (probably will enter Top 5 once we get to THAT event later on tho lol)

Apart from fans praising the sequence of Law’s teleportation and his Puncture Wille, created by Henry Thurlow and Team, fans are also impressed with the short teaser of Luffy VS Kaido presented to them.
That short sequence of Law attacking and evading Big Mom was probably my favourit part. Perfect way to show how hax his DF is. It reminded me a lot of the Shimazaki vs everyone fight in Mob Psycho season 2. Anyone else? That’s how you do teleporation in battles! Another nice touch was the monster visual (Chansard’s version) of Kaido in Luffy’s fight. Last but not least: that mix of the Kidd theme with the Onigashima theme for the damned punk at the end… chef’s kiss!
