Where we come to a strong work of Henry. In episode #972, he animates this beautiful scene from Oden Vs Kaidou. It shows much of his characterise drawing style and use of shading in his characters

A few months after his participation in #972, Henry Thurlow announces that he is joining Toei Animation, to work exclusively for One Piece.

His first scene after joining the Staff is definitely very strong and ambitious. Occurs in the episode #995

Henry had the opportunity to work on episode #1000, which for sure was a very special moment for him. Since he's admittedly a fan of One Piece.

He goes back to making another big scene in episode #1033. The kind of scene that shows how versatile he is and how he's evolved within Staff. A very complex scene
