History Recap / OnePieceThrillerBarkArc

* FeelNoPain: Deconstructed when the Straw Hats fought the zombie Oz. Chopper, the crew's doctor, says that the fact Oz cannot feel pain is actually a weakness since it cannot tell how much damage its body has accumulated until it's too late. The Straw Hats defeated Oz by shattering its spine, leaving it lying on the ground, wondering why it can't move.

* DancePartyEnding: After Moira is defeated and everyone got their shadows back, they threw a celebration party and everyone sings "Binkusu No Sake".

** Hogback's design looks much like [[RockyHorrorPictureShow Dr. Frank-N-Furter]]. [[Recap/OnePieceImpelDownArc This wouldn't be the last Oda would draw inspiration from the series.]]

** There is a [[{{Eyeshield21}} bat with the number 21]].

* DrJerk: Hogback who willingly admits he does doctoring solely for fame and fortune and doesn't give a damn about his patients. [[BerserkButton Chopper does take gladly with that.]]

* FlunkyBoss: Moria too lazy to really fight on his own leaving his combat to his shadow and later Oars (with some occasional help). The only time he finally does decides to fight on his own is when Oars is defeated and even then his lack of direct combat experience is pretty noticeable.

* ShoutOut: The name of the island more or less comes from the famous MichaelJackson song. There's even a dance number with zombies called "Zombie Night" if it wasn't obvious enough.

* {{Resurrection}}: Brook's fruit which allows him to come to life one time after being killed. It works...but due to the fog of the sea he was in, he got lost and returned to his body long after it decayed.

* ThePromise: Its this arc that reveals [[spoiler: the pirates who Laboon befriends, the Rumbar Pirates which Brook was a part of. They had left Laboon at Reverse Mountain so as not to drag him into danger, promising to return someday. But halfway into the Grand Line, half the crew came down with a terminal disease and separated themselves to save the others. The other half came up against an enemy that used poison arrows and were killed save Brook, whose Devil Fruit allowed him to come back to life. Brook promised his crewmates who would return to Laboon and give him they're final performance.]]

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Moira told Luffy that at his current strength, he would lose his crew. Not too long after, the Straw Hats suffered a devastating defeat and were separated at Sabaody Archipelago.

* YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle: The crew manage to beat Moria...and then Kuma suddenly shows up.

* ColossalClimb: Done occasionally during the battle with Oars.

* OurZombiesAreDifferent: Turns out they're corpses re-animated by Moria implanted shadows into them.

* ShoutOut: The name of the island more or less comes from the famous MichaelJackson song. There's even a dance number with zombies called "Zombie Night" if it wasn't obvious enough.
