The Wano arc is of tremendous importance and one of the best in the series, which began in 2019 and ended in 2022, with Luffy emerging victorious.

The manga failed to highlight some critical characters, such as Hiyori, Otama, and the Nine Red Scabbards.

Luckily, the anime decided to animate all the scenes, add more information, and give a proper conclusion to the fantastic arc. Many fans believe that the ending was better in the anime as compared to the manga.
