Christmas Cake: Usopp accidentally implied this trope about Robin when she was deaged and he complimented on her new body "having everything in the right place again".
Sure enough the latter does happen but Aokiji and Z prevent the Marines from going after the Straw Hats and Z's subordinates, subverting this trope. If they do, they're be surrounded by Marines, lead by an admiral no less, and be captured. If they don't stop Z's plan, all of the Grand Line will be destroyed. Kuzan warns them it's a pretty much one way deal.
Catch-22 Dilemma: When the Straw Hats prepare to go after Z and the Neo Marines one last time.
The movie ends likewise, with a tearjerker of an awesome fight between Z and the Marines, once again set to Ocean's Guide.
Bookends: The movie opens with a fight scene between the Marines and the Neo Marines, partially set to Ocean's Guide.
His death isn't shown, but Ain, Bins and Kuzan are seen mourning at his grave. Unlike most examples though, this one isn't ambiguous: Z doesn't make it. Having nothing left to lose, Z goes to fight them and hold them off to allow the Straw Hats to escape, despite knowing it means certain death.
Bolivian Army Ending: Z's final fate as, after his battle with Luffy whom he came to respect, the group are beset by Kizaru and his troop of marines.
Using his General Franky to turn them into scrap, and finishing them off in proper fashion with a Radical Beam.
Franky does one as well when Usopp, Nami, Chopper, Robin and Brook get cornered by the Neo-Pacifista.
Believe it or not, Kuzan saves Luffy, Ussop, Zoro and Sanji during their escape from a resort island as it's exploding.
Beware the Silly Ones: Bins makes a lot of weird facial expressions and sounds in battle but as proven in his first encounter with the Straw Hats, he is a force to be reckoned with.
Badass Longcoat: Z and Ain on the villains' side, and several of the Straw Hats in their battle outfits on the heroes' side.
Kuzan uses his ice powers as a prosthetic for the leg he lost in his fight against Akainu.
It's revealed there's a regular prosthetic hand underneath it. After it's destroyed in his fight with Luffy. It's a wonder he can even lift the thing, let alone attack with it.
Z sports a gigantic robotic arm on his shoulder.
In canon, this was from his fight with Akainu and the Straw Hats were told of that by Jimbei on Fishman Island, they just never expected to see how severe the wounds were for themselves.
An Arm and a Leg: During the hot spring scene, Luffy, Zoro, Sanji and Brook are stunned when Kuzan comes out of the tub minus one leg which he fixes with his ice powers.
All There in the Manual: Z's backstory is revealed more in detail in the complementary book Volume Z, which was given as a present to the Japanese movie-goers.
Action Prologue: The movie doesn't waste time beating around the bush to introduce the main villains, as it opens with a fight scene between them and the Marines.
One Piece Z contains examples of the following tropes: Surprisingly Avril Lavigne does two of the movie's theme songs which are covers of Joan Jett's "Bad Reputation" and Nickelback's "How You Remind Me". Kizaru and Kuzan (formerly known as Admiral Aokiji) appear in the film as well. The Straw Hats unwittingly get involved when Z attacks their ship while crossing their path, gaining Luffy's anger and leading up to a battle that will determine the fate of the Grand Line.Įiichiro Oda has stated that Z was the toughest challenge the Straw Hats had ever faced at that point in time. To do this, he has stolen one of the Marines' trump cards, the Dyna Stones (stones that create explosions with immense destructive power when exposed to air) for his own ends. It's the first One Piece movie to be set after the time skip.Īs the title suggests, it focuses on Z, a former Marine Admiral who now leads his own version called the Neo Marines, with the intent of wiping out every pirate on the Grand Line. One Piece Z is the 12th film in the long running anime and manga franchise, One Piece.
