History Recap / OnePieceSkypieaArc

* {{Bowdlerise}}: Once again, the anime downplays some of the violence in the original. In the manga, when trying to address the Skypieans of their impending destruction, a boy throws a rock at her, causing her to bleed. In the anime, [[ProducePelting it's a tomato]].

* CPRCleanPrettyReliable: Usopp drowns in the cloud during the Knock-Up Stream ride, and Chopper has to revive him with CPR.

* For Satori while fighting the Straw Hats: "It's amazing that you can predict our attacks, but what good is it if you can't avoid them?"
* The legendary one after [[http://nsa13.casimages.com/img/2010/02/26/100226064330959721.jpg Eneru realizes his powers have no effect on Luffy.]]

* It looks like Wiper's actually going to kill Eneru, having somehow found [[KryptoniteFactor Seastone]] to weaken Eneru with and being in position to deliver a blow from a Reject Dial. Sadly, Eneru's powers let him ''restart his heart'' from the otherwise-fatal blow.
* A villainous version, as the first time Luffy reaches Eneru he manages to catch him with his trident giving Luffy to option of getting impaled or falling. Luffy falls... only to grab onto the solid cloud Nami is on and sling himself back up.

* AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever[=/=]OneWingedAngel: Eneru transforms into a much larger form covered in lightning in the climax.
** ClippedWingAngel: However, it also makes him a bigger target.

* OhCrap: The legendary one after [[http://nsa13.casimages.com/img/2010/02/26/100226064330959721.jpg Eneru realizes his powers have no effect on Luffy.]]
** Another one comes earlier in the arc for Satori: "It's amazing that you can predict our attacks, but what good is it if you can't avoid them?"

* HopeSpot: A villainous version, as the first time Luffy reaches Eneru he manages to catch him with his trident giving Luffy to option of getting impaled or falling. Luffy falls... only to grab onto the solid cloud Nami is on and sling himself back up.
** Earlier on, it looks like Wiper's actually going to kill Eneru, having somehow found [[KryptoniteFactor Seastone]] to weaken Eneru with and being in position to deliver a blow from a Reject Dial. Sadly, Eneru's powers let him ''restart his heart'' from the otherwise-fatal blow.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: In the anime, the Shandians are referred to as the Shand'''or'''ians, after their sacred city.

* SortingAlgorithmOfEvil: Subverted. Eneru is actually one of the strongest antagonists Luffy has ever defeated. He easily curb-stomped all of his opponents, and the only reason Luffy stood a chance against him at all is because he had the Devil Fruit power Eneru was least capable of countering. The fact that his fight with Luffy was ''still'' a close one shows how far up the ladder Eneru actually was.[[note]]Even with the Logia-nullifying KiManipulation of the New World, he'd still probably get pretty far; being able to touch the other guy can only help so much when said other guy can hurl a BoltOfDivineRetribution from miles above and can use Observation Haki himself. WordOfGod from Oda has confirmed that if Eneru had been given a bounty, it would have been as high as ''500,000,000''.[[/note]]

* TheRightfulKingReturns: Gan Fall was the previous God of Skypiea, before Eneru's conquest. After Eneru is defeated, the people ask he resume his duties. Gan Fall actually hesitated due to his failure and suggested the Shandian chief be God, but the chief refused, citing that God Fall was the one who tried to foster peace between the angels and Shandians.

* {{Bowlderize}}: Once again, the anime downplays some of the violence in the original. In the manga, when trying to address the Skypieans of their impending destruction, a boy throws a rock at her, causing her to bleed. In the anime, [[ProducePelting it's a tomato]].

** Earlier, Eneru makes a show of [[NoSell no-selling]] ''everything'' that was thrown at him. He was ''[[IncrediblyLamePun shocked]]'' when Luffy managed to hit him.

* WouldHitAGirl: Enel. He eletrocutes Raki, and then Robin (the latter incident even has Zoro call him out for attacking a woman). He also tries to do that to Nami, but she can NoSell attacks with her Clima-Tact.

* DeusExitMachina: This arc featured the former TropeNamer: EatenByASnake, in which Luffy during his duel with Wiper unceremoniously ended in a stalemate when...[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Luffy was eaten by a snake]].

* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Satori. His casual and playful demeanor made him look ridiculous, but his trickery, reliance on [[CombatClairvoyance Mantra]] and Impact Dials made him a rather dangerous ([[{{Troll}} if annoying]]) foe.

* DisneyDeath: Pretty much ''every'' named character who seems to "die" in this arc is actually revealed to be alive and well by the arc's end. Even characters like Yama, who had his neck and back audibly broken by Robin's disembodied arms as he fell off of a high cliff, turn up alive. In fact, the only named casualty of the fight who seems to stay dead is the Skypiean Preist Gedatsu.... until a manga-exclusive cover story-arc reveals he [[HoistByHisOwnPetard didn't drown in his Ordeal of Swamp]], but fell through the clouds and down to the surface to Alabasta, eventually having a HeelFaceTurn and helping Kohza's wealthy uncle Gero build a resort.

** Mantra, which would later be known as Observation Haki. And the first appearance of Klabautermann, the spirit of the a certain ship.

* RememberThatYouTrustMe: Towards the climax of Skypiea, Nami goes along with [[ArcVillain Enel]] on the Arc Maxim due to being utterly terrified of the man. When Luffy comes to save her, she's beside herself with fear and frantically asks Luffy what they should do. In a CallBack to Arlong Park, Luffy tosses her his hat and tells her to stop worrying. He points out that she'll be fine because, after all, she's the future pirate king's friend.
