The Unbeatable Power-Up: Exclusive Enhancements of Kid & Law in the One Piece Anime

Warning! Spoilers ahead for One Piece Episode #1066! Eustass Kid and Trafalgar Law, two of the strongest characters in One Piece's manga, have been given an unexpected power boost in the anime. Despite the already formidable strength of the characters in the Wano arc, the anime has made Kid and Law even stronger.

In episode #1066, Kid and Law continue their intense battle against Big Mom. The fight closely follows the events in manga chapter #1039, but the anime takes advantage of its longer runtime to emphasize the impact of Big Mom's brutal attacks. One instance worth mentioning is when Misery's attack, originally depicted in a single panel in the manga, is elongated in the anime to showcase a relentless barrage that sends Kid crashing into the ground. Despite enduring increased damage, Kid and Law manage to deliver a devastating counterattack, ultimately defeating Big Mom. This demonstrates their enhanced durability compared to their manga counterparts.

One Piece's Anime Make Kid & Law More Durable Than in the Manga

This is not the first time that One Piece's anime has made its characters more impressive. In the Wano arc alone, the anime has taken many fights from the manga to new heights. One Piece episode #1062, specifically the Zoro vs King fight, serves as the best example of this enhancement. The animation visually enhances the already high standards set by the manga for this fight. Overall, Toei Studios has imbued a Dragon Ball-like quality to the fights in this arc, with the characters employing Haki that resembles the bombastic fights in that series.

Ultimately, these alterations in the fights and character upgrades serve as reminders that the anime and manga are fundamentally distinct. While they tell the same overarching story, the specific details inevitably differ due to the different constraints of the two media. The anime requires a certain amount of running time, often causing it to extend certain parts of the manga. Moreover, it often aims to clarify certain aspects more than the manga, as seen in the alteration of Sanji's significant One Piece battle with Queen. However, it is important to note that these changes are not necessarily all positive or negative.

One Piece Strengthening Law and Kid Makes Their Fight Better

The anime's decision to portray Kid and Law as more powerful in their battle against Big Mom may receive criticism from some manga fans. However, this choice ultimately enhances the epicness of their achievement. Moreover, considering how the manga treats Kid after the Wano arc concludes, the improved portrayal of his character in the anime probably brings joy to many fans. In summary, the One Piece anime's decision to strengthen Kid and Law for their confrontation with Big Mom is a fantastic change that improves the outcome of the fight. One Piece can be streamed on Crunchyroll.
