Added Continuity Nod

Added DiffLines:

* ContinuityNod:
** In a flashback, Zoro attempts to cut a chain wrapped around Saga and fails. [[Recap/OnePieceAlabastaArc Presumably, it was made of steel]].
** Both Luffy's defeat of Crocodile and his 100 Million bounty are referenced. As the latter doesn't come as a surprise to Luffy and Usopp, this film must take place after [[Recap/OnePieceSkypieaArc Skypiea]] (and, for obvious reasons, before [[Recap/OnePieceWaterSevenArc Water Seven]])

* BarrierMaiden: Maya, being the descendant of the original maiden's bloodline, can summon a magical barrier by praying the Gods of Asuka, allowing her to suppress the power of the Sword. [[spoiler: This ends up being mildly effective, in that while the Sword is too powerful to be stopped by the barrier, her prayers still weaken Saga, allowing Luffy to clobber him.]]

* FamilyUnfriendlyViolence: When Saga is possessed by the Sword in the beginning he doesn't simply cut down the pirates attacking him and Maya, he ''[[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe literally bisects them]]''.
* FatBastard: Boo Kong, so fat that he's actually spherical and can bounce around like a ball, crushing people and buildings under his own weight.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Early on, Saga himself explains that nor he nor his men can get too close to the Sacred Orbs. Later Nami takes advantage of this detail to defeat a whole group of possessed Marines by keeping them at bay with the Orb.
* GuestStarPartyMember: Lacos, one of the villagers, joins Sanji as he goes to put the Orb in its tower. He doesn't do much though, except fighting mooks.
* MacGuffin: The Three Sacred Orbs that are necessary to seal the power of the Seven Star Sword. Oddly, Saga's henchmen can't touch them, and not even get close to them, forcing Saga to ask for Zoro's help.
* TheMagicGoesAway: [[spoiler: In the end, both the Sword and the Orbs are gone for good.]]
* OneHandedZweihander: Invoked, when Luffy, upon seeing the Seven Star Sword hanging from Saga's back, asks him if he can really use such a long sword with only one hand. He can, btw.

The Fifth OnePiece movie, mainly focused on Zoro.

On Asuka Island, the Straw Hat Pirates learn about the Seven Star Sword, considered the world's most beautiful sword and a valuable treasure, though it contains a deadly curse. When they come back to the ship, they find that Zoro, who was to act as guard, is missing, but they are forced to leave port when they are attacked by Marines. They dock in another section of the island and come across a village, whose job it is to keep the Seven Stars Sword sealed. It is soon attacked by Marines who are trying to free the sword—among whom is Zoro! What reason could Zoro have for doing this? What is the secret of the sword? Why would Marines want it? The answers lie on the night of the red moon.
