Synopsis

After suffering great personal loss during the battle of Marineford, Monkey D. Luffy finds himself stranded on Rusukaina, a treacherous island crawling with huge and dangerous creatures. There, he has committed himself to a two-year stretch of training to learn "Haki," the energy that combatants can use to grant themselves a variety of abilities in battle.

Luffy is jerked away from his otherwise peaceful training by the abduction of Sandersonia and Marigold, sisters of his friend and ally Boa Hancock. With Boa's aid, Luffy seeks to track down the infamous pirate responsible for the kidnapping, a man whose recent prison break is the result of Luffy's own reckless actions. Luffy must use his developing grasp of Haki to defeat this new foe while coming to terms with his overbearing grief in the process.

One Piece 3D2Y: Overcome Ace's Death! Luffy's Vow to his Friends is not about what the title suggests it is, but the side story presented is engaging (at least on some level) to any fan of One Piece.

There is a lot of re-animation of previous events in the show, especially in the beginning of the special in which the Marineford Arc is condensed to a few minutes in an almost comedic manner. Though it is cool to see older scenes in the alternative animation style of the special, all of the rehashing was unnecessary in terms of plot and good storytelling. Besides that, the plot ... itself is fairly straightforward.

Byrnndi World and his small crew are not the most threatening villains despite World’s lofty goal to destroy the World Government, but that is intentional and they are more than serviceable for this special. World himself is unlikeable and overly ambitious; however, he and his crew get a decent backstory so the audience at least understands why. His shift in dreams is easy to empathize with, and out of all the One Piece movie villains excluding Strong World and Film Z, Byrnndi World and his crew especially may be tied with the sixth movie’s Baron Omatsuri for the title of most complex.

On a character standpoint, Luffy is as endearing as ever and his writing feels natural though all of the material is non canon. Other than Luffy, canon characters appearing in 3D2Y include Hancock and her sisters, Rayleigh, Mihawk, Perona, Buggy. Disregarding the fanservice, Hancock is a strong character and the amount of screentime she gets is justified. Rayleigh is as cool as ever, though his role in the plot is minimal. Mihawk appears briefly along with Perona, but despite his power and more significant role in the series, he doesn’t do anything that warrants him being in the special. Finally, Buggy. The jokes about him accidentally making his newfound fandom think he’s awesome and powerful even though he’s not got old long ago, and are equally old here. Other than that, he is actually entertaining.

The animation is deviates from One Piece’s usual style, but not nearly as much as the sixth movie. It tends to favor thick linework and sharp angles, with character expressions animated in the same manner. Though different, the animation is quite nice to look at and makes the fight scenes more dynamic. Luffy’s fights are amazing as usual and there is a lot of haki usage which makes them that much better. Unfortunately, fights involving Boa Hancock focus more on fanservice rather than showing off her prowess and skill. It’s easy to brush off a random and unwarranted jiggle or two, but the fanservice in this special reduced my enjoyment of the story.

One Piece 3D2Y: Overcome Ace's Death! Luffy's Vow to his Friends is deliciously long and features great characters, surprisingly good villains, and some decent fights in a unique and watchable animation style. However, the hefty fanservice and inclusion of pointless scenes and characters detract from its integrity.

Following the events of Marineford, Luffy is in the midst of training with Rayleigh when a pirate by the name of Burndy World arises after escaping from Impel Down. With the intent of kidnapping one of the seven warlords, World ends up taking Boa Hancock's sisters as hostage. Luffy and Hancock team up to take down Burndy World and save Hancock's sisters.

Story: 8
From the original synopsis, I was under the impression that this would be a movie depicting Boa as a damsel in distress for Luffy to come and rescue from the hands of an evil pirate. I was so pleased that this was ...

Mixed Feelings

This was a fine movie overall, but it never really engaged me. The plot setup itself is pretty boring, and the first bit of it is mostly a quick recap of certain events, which was nice to see some of the scenes reanimated but not really necessary. The main villain got some development towards the end, but it felt kind of hollow, and I didn't really care. The dialogue is pretty one-dimensional and plain, which also just makes it unable to engage me.

Besides that, there are some nice moments with Buggy, Hancock has a handful of nice scenes, and with the little bits of fight ...
