History YMMV / OnePieceFilmZ

* {{Fanon}}: While the film never states which Warlord took Zephyr’s arm, it’s generally accepted by fans that it was Edward Weevil.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: While ''[[Anime/OnePieceFilmStrongWorld Strong World]]'' wasn't a bad film by any means, a good majority of the fans decried Shiki as he wasn't really as threatening as advertised since he relied sorely on his powers and was defeated quite pathetically, and overall puts on a poor showing for someone who was supposedly powerful enough to rival Gold Roger. For this film, they made sure Z was a very credible threat, first by having no Devil Fruit powers, fighting an admiral to a draw (nearly killing him in the process), defeating Luffy not once but twice through direct combat (Shiki did it too but only by using dirt and water to swamp Luffy, never by his own skills), and essentially having the final fight come to a technical draw since both Luffy and Z push each other to the point it becomes a standard (albeit Haki powered) punching match in the end.

* MagnificentBastard: "Black Arm" Zephyr, later going by the name Z, was formerly an Admiral, and later instructor, for the Marines. Growing disillusioned with the World Government after the pirate who slaughtered his crew became a Warlord, Z created the Neo Marines, a faction of former Marines with the goal of destroying the New World in order to end the Golden Age of priacy. Z launches an attack on a Marine base to steal the explosive Dyna Stones, evading Admiral Kizaru by exploding one, and begins destroying the Endpoints that seal magma within the New World. After defeating Luffy twice, Z patiently waits at the final Endpoint to have one final match with Luffy, [[VillainRespect praising Luffy for his courage]]. Upon being defeated, Z buys time for both his subordinates and the Straw Hats to escape the Marines, [[RedemptionEqualsDeath sacrificing his life]] while giving one final lesson to his former students.

* EvenBetterSequel: Fans generally consider ''Film Z'' overall a better movie than ''Strong World'', thanks to superior action scenes, a more focused plot, better use of supporting characters from the main series (instead of keeping things self-contained to only the Straw Hats) and generally higher stakes.

* LoveItOrHateIt: Not the movie, but Avril Lavigne's songs. There's fans who hate them and think it doesn't fit ''One Piece'' at all, fans who like the idea and consider it original, and fans who love the songs. And there are those who were just fine with the songs in the original form.

* DudeNotFunny: Sanji [[spoiler:is first serious about Chopper, Robin and Nami's situation, but then he thinks about the possibility of seeing Nami grow and mature from child to woman. The scene gives Sanji uncomfortable Lolicon undertones.]]

* DecoyProtagonist: Some fans view the Straw Hats' role as this, seeing how a suprising amount of focus is on Z, whether he is onscreen or not. Most of the people who believe this consider it to be a good thing though, as it is a nice change from the manga's standard formula, and gives ADayInTheLimelight to a villain who deserved to be canon.
