comment
One Piece's fourth movie that takes place some point between Alabasta and Jaya.Desperate for cash, the Straw Hats enter a secret race only known to pirates called the Dead End Race. There, they must face the ex-Marine-turned-pirate Captain Gasparde and a bounty hunter who's after his head. However, Gasparde has a deadly scheme planned. Are all of his opponents doomed from the start?Notable for being the first full length One Piece movie after the first three were one hour movies paired together with another Anime film.

Darker and Edgier: Began the trend continued with the two films following it of the One Piece films being generally darker, more atmospheric affairs than the general series proper. And Gasparde is a more intimidating antagonist.

comment
Uncertain Doom: At the film's climax, Luffy dispatches Gasparde by hitting him with a Gum-Gum Bazooka and launching him straight into an oncoming cyclone, with the viewer's last sight of him being the flying pirate's body being snatched away by the raging winds. Given Gasparde's Super Drowning Skills as a Devil Fruit user, he probably drowned when the wind dropped him in the ocean, but he's never explicitly stated to have died, so there's a chance he's still alive.

 Dead End Adventure / int_3d699462
comment
Curb-Stomp Battle: Played both ways with Gasparde and Luffy. When Luffy first confronts him on his ship, Gasparde easily manhandles Luffy as Luffy can't harm him due to Gasparde's Logia fruit absorbing his blows. However, once Sanji gives Luffy flour, Luffy quickly subjects Gasparde to this, since the flour negates Gasparde's Syrup powers.

comment
Wacky Racing: Well somewhat. Being a race run by pirates, the participants are playing for keeps and encouraged to get ahead by any means necessary, be it using special ships or attacking the others head on. Many ships get destroyed during the starting leg (with the Straw Hats even destroying one that was trying to ram them from behind). Still it's played somewhat jovial till they hit the open sea.

 Dead End Adventure / int_479d4e5a
comment
Would Hurt a Child: Zoro twice in this film, the first time he didn't realize it was a child, just that there was a intruder on-board. And Anaguma attacked first. Luckily for Anaguma, Zoro didn't draw his sword. The second time was intentional to quiet the hysterical kid who was begging to go back for his grandfather leading to the Samus Is a Girl moment.

Advertised Extra: Three of the racers were shown to be people with ties to someone the Straw Has have encountered. In this case, two Elbaf giants and a fishman who was said to be a rival of Arlong's, making it seem like the Straw Hats will interact with them. However the giants end up disqualified from the race early after mistiming a jump and crashing out of bounds from the water way. And the fishman is beaten off screen when he tries to go after Gasparde late in the film.

Spell My Name with an S: With no USA release, the UK DVD was translated by different people, and it shows: Gomu-Gomu no (Gum-Gum) is left untranslated, and in all caps. Willy is referred to as a merman instead of a fishman (two different species in the One Piece universe) The cover uses 'Gasparde', while the subtitles use 'Gusparday'. Shuraiya's name is romanized as "Shryer".

Oh, Crap!: The crew all have a collective one when they find themselves going over the Grand Fall, a waterfall that leads to a long drop into a narrow river stream. One of the giants when his friend tells him they didn't jump far enough to land back in the waterway, resulting in them crashing into a part of the city. Anaguma gets one when Luffy dares him to shoot him after the crew find him on the ship, only to find out Luffy has rubber powers. Near the climax, Nami notices the weather getting pretty rough as the others become worried for Luffy during his fight with Gasparde. When she goes to look out at the ocean, she remembers being told of the random typhoons in the area and quickly realizes one is about to bear down right on their location. Luffy likewise has this reaction when Gasparde points it out after the Salamander is blown up. Gasparde at the climax of the movie when Luffy actually manages to harm him when some of the flour Luffy was carrying gets on him. Followed swiftly by Luffy throwing the remaining bag on him and closing the distance for a beatdown.
