Wham! Episode/Anime and Manga/One Piece

One Piece loves giving its audience a good wham. Here's a recap:


 * Early on, the seemingly ordinary Baratie arc gets a surprise visit from a much, much more powerful foe that gives readers an idea of how strong people are in this story. Also counts as a Growing the Beard moment.
 * The explosive end of the Sabaody Arc, leading to the events of chapter 513. Jaws were dropped, tears were shed.
 * The anime extended the scene, added in a reverse Nakamania montage set to a violin solo version of Bink's Sake, and to increase the impact for the Anime only crowd followed the scene with a alternate universe filler arc so that you didn't find out what happened to everybody for another few weeks!
 * The entire Whitebeard War arc can be summarized as a progression of Wham Episodes, each more shocking than the last:
 * First of all, Ace being revealed as.
 * Chapter 573. Admiral Akainu punches a hole through.
 * Okay, so things can't possibly get any worse now. WRONG!!! Right after, Whitebeard orders his men to take Luffy and escape while he makes his last stand against the Marines. Marineford is a Wham ARC!
 * Lets continue that trend, shall we? Chapter 579 achieves a Crowning Moment of Awesome as the pathetic wimp Coby.
 * Earlier, there was chapter 345. The lovable and helpful square-nosed carpenter, the hilarious and Badass ventriloquist, the sexy secretary, and the kindly bar owner?.
