Jeff’s performance as Buggy was the kind of wild, unrelenting performance that you simply couldn’t turn away from because you can tell that the actor is entirely losing himself in the part, allowing this other person to temporarily take control of his body—and enjoying it immensely.
We laughed carefully out of concern that if we laughed too loudly at the incorrect joke, Ward would simply reach through our screen and drag us into his tent of terrors. Ward’s unpredictable performance was both diabolical and delightful.
Each episode of One Piece feels like a mini-movie since the characters are continuously moving from one place to another. Every new location is a distinct, fully developed universe all on its own, full of nuanced characters whose tales don’t begin or stop in the limited time we spend with them.
Buggy was without a doubt the hero of this particular short film, and his explosive combination of fear, wrath, and plain old crazy kept us on our toes the entire time. In this extremely uncommon case, we’re happy that the evil clown was spared in this season.
