Last one on Highest Point. I thought it was cute even if coincidence but this OP is so tight with an all-star team so I doubt a shred of it is coincidental. Like I said, Kiku pops up a few times in the highlight reel starting the song. One moment lined up with the kokoro/heart line down to the word.

I've gotten way too emotional about this opening even before I paid attention to the lyrics. Not like I put stock in this kind of detail, but my god does it track well with the Wano I adore. The back half is more bombastic, fun shonen OP fare though has some neat hidden ties like the line roughly "I bet you're laughing, numbed by it all" accompanying that gorgeous fireworks shot with Hyo. The first half though, "It's a pity to linger in a place like this, for the things that have been lost to lose their spark." Damn does that resonate, sounds just like something I'd want Kiku to say. Lines about making weakness your strength and serendipity are all right at home too. I love the transition is the "speaker" saying they already know it's dawn.

At this point I don't really care about ranking Wano in terms of favorite arcs. It's One Piece going weird and high art as much as it can and that's wonderful. So it's only fitting the final anime opening is such a loving, thoughtful homage that does so well at the tall order of capturing such an extravagant tapestry.

Sherman Summit, WY (No. 1)

Sherman Summit or Sherman Hill Summit, elevation 8,640 ft (2,630 m), is a mountain pass about 7.5 miles (12.1 km) north-northwest of the ghost town of Sherman at 41.23635°N 105.43655°W. While not a particularly rugged mountain crossing, it holds special significance as the highest point along the entire length of transcontinental Interstate 80.

Just southwest of present-day Sherman Summit at 41.23308°N 105.44127°W , at an elevation of about 8,820 ft (2,690 m), is the highest point on the original transcontinental Lincoln Highway and its successor, U.S. 30. This location, where the pavement is still in place, is known simply as The Summit. A huge bronze bust of Abraham Lincoln once stood here; it has been moved to Sherman Summit.

What’s the meaning of…? #3

Acme: /ak-mi/ noun the point at which something is at its best or most highly developed, Origin from Greek akme ‘highest point’. Source: Compact Oxford English Dictionary for Students.

Example: The civilisation’s acme was reached in the 17th century after expanding over the whole continent.

Interesting fact: The Acme Corporation is a fictional corporation created primarily for the Road Runner Cartoons of the Looney Tunes. Acme provides explosive, often dangerous and defective material to Wile E. Coyote. The products tend to fail at their best, which is an ironic reference to it’s significance.
