#ROBIN ONE PIECE SERIES#
Robin finally having a chance to stand out is nothing but good for Eiichiro Oda's One Piece, and with the series entering its final stages, it hopefully won’t be the last time it happens.Nico Robin is an archaeologist and a member of the Straw Hat Pirate crew in the series One Piece. For the first time in almost twenty years, Robin finally had a fight with a major antagonist that was largely on her own that’s a big deal on its own, but the fact that the anime upped the spectacle and emotional weight from the manga does even more to highlight the importance of it. Robin has often gotten the short end of the stick in One Piece, but the Wano arc finally does something about that. Every fight she’s had since then has either been her providing support or her fighting a relatively minor antagonist, and that’s nothing but a disservice to someone meant to be so crucial to the story. Despite being one of the main characters, the only time One Piece's Nico Robin fought a major antagonist was against Yama in the Skypiea arc, which was almost twenty years ago. Still, beyond that, the fight, itself, works so well because it fixes the story’s biggest problem with Robin. The One Piece anime did a lot to make Robin’s fight with Black Maria in the Wano arc even better than it was in the manga. It all comes together to make Robin’s moment a big one not just for its spectacle, but for everything it does for her as a character. The emphasis on how far her friends would go to help her adds more weight to her wanting to do the same, and the emphasis on her being treated as a demon makes it poetic that she would wholeheartedly embrace that. Recent episodes devoted time to reminding the audience of everything Robin went through in One Piece, which works because it ties into her character arc. More than that, however, is how the anime played into the emotional weight of everything. That, in addition to dragging out her final attack against Black Maria, all did a great job of showing off how powerful Robin was supposed to be.
Not only was episode 1044 an episode that featured truly stellar animation, but the use of Demonio Fleur was presented like something out of the uniquely animated Devilman Crybaby to emphasize how frightening her new technique is supposed to be. The main reason why Robin’s victory against Black Maria was so much better in the One Piece anime stems from how much the anime expanded on the fight.
