| Something improved in this episode. Something visual. Not sure if the animation or the artysle? But definitely something improved. Maybe because it's the first episode of the year? lol Hope Luffy would just kick his ass already. This arc has been going on for waaaaaay too long. |
 |
| finally gear fourth..everybody is like ..finally lol |
 |
| Can't wait.Next week it so hard, maybe. |
| my god, 2 weeks for this awful 12 minuts slide show quality episode |
| Final Fantasy VII is a shitty game. |
| Fuck. Have to wait to next week for gear fourth. LOl, when the voice actor said it, it made me laugh. Well, it didn't come as a shock or exciting since I got the whole shit spoiled. -.-' Still, gonna be epic how he is gonna defeat Mingo with it and what new moves he has up his sleeve. xD |
 |
| GEAR FOURTH OMG!!!!!! |
| Hopefully next episode has good animation. |
 |
| Quite dissapointed with the pronounciation of ' Gear Fourth" because Luffy trying to say it in engligh, I clearly thought it's gonna be spoken way more japanese when I read the manga, like the previous 2, "Sekando" and "Saardo", so it would be "Foordo". And Luffy voice acting is kinda 'bad' this episode, it lacks dynamic that he usually had, he usually manage to deliver the speech in a calm tone even though he is super angry, in this episode, all he does is screaming, screaming and more screaming, devoid of dynamic like he usually has. The animation was pretty sluggish most of the time when it comes to fighting scene BUT i glad they put some special effect to their attack, it adds to the flashiness and the intense of the fight that didn't particularly showed in the manga. BUT THE GODDAMN PREVIEWS SURE IS HYPE AS FUCK!!!! |
 |
| Finally caught up it's taken me ages to binge watch all 725 episodes but damn was it worth it and just when he's about to use Gear Fourth it cuts out forcing me to wait a week for the next episode |
 |
| finally, i liked the part when i heard gear fourth. |
 |
| Pretty much just build up for Gear Fourth, so let's see if they saved enough to give the following episodes the special treatment. |
| "Let Justice Be Done!" My Theme Fight again, fight again for justice! |
| The animation was very Toei this episode. |
| Cabbage ... what a man! "If you're going to die, it's got to be after me" OH DAMN! ... GEAR FOURTH! The way he said fourth ... something about it. |
 |
| holy shit i am way too hyped right now |
| Boundman Gear Fourth! I'm waiting you for so long! xD |
"Signature removed"   |
| Whoa whoa whoa gear fourth! Soon he'll have gear reverse just like any good old manual car |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| good episode since got to see some actions. come on gear 4th really hype :) |
 |
| Luffy's about to go hard :o |
 |
| Given Doffy's abilities it's pretty easy for him to evade Luffy's stronger attacks, but finally 4th gear is happening so I'm excited to see what it is! Maybe a mixture of 2nd & 3rd? Also, major respect for Cavendish this episode- he really is a knight despite his rather shallow side. Not only did he save Robin, but he also chose to stay with Law to see the outcome of the fight he's been waiting for for 13 years! |

| omg omg omg omg gear...fourth! |
   |
| HOLY SHIT I knew he was going to say "fourth gear" during that dramatic pause. It felt too natural |
| A strong question arises as we watch Dressrosa. Who is best boy? Is it Cavendish or Bartolomeo? I am also somewhat annoyed by both as their static gags get too much screen time in my mind. However, both are endearing. Both of them are built on two contrasting sides which are both funny and admirable, and both can be a blast. Cabbage has constantly reminded us of how great he can be ever since he yelled at the crowd for insulting Rebecca. As he defended Robin, as he had a sense of obligation to take Doflamingo down, as he defended the hurt Bartolomeo or now defends Law while respecting and understanding his wish. He has a sense of honour which at times overpowers his overwhelming sense of vanity. The smile he made after telling Robin to leave wasn’t a smile that represented his vanity, I think it was a smile which represented him holding true to his values. I think Bartolomeo is more comedic than Cabbage, but he’s such a blast when he’s being an insufferable asshole, and I find it beautiful that Oda made a conduit for the audience like Barto. The fact that I can relate so strongly with someone in universe is amazing to me. But then again he’s shown distaste for the crowd of the colosseum, he’s loyal, and he’s strong willed, arguably naively or childishly defending his former enemy Bellamy. He’s definitely more than how he appears on the surface. However, the true answer to who best boy of Dressrosa is for me comes down to the Wano samurai. This episode was a reinforcement of their sense of duty or obligation and gratitude, and their courage. Zoro asked his fellow swordsmen for help and without hesitation they agreed. And with how Kanjuro has only really made the balloon for Usopp, I bet he’s going to get a decent role in what’s coming. Overall, they give me hope for Wano. They make me excited for the day we can see it. I feel the Wano people, if anything like Kanjuro, Kin’emon and Momonosuke, will be a strong willed and kind people. Meanwhile as Luffy and Doflamingo fought, despite it being the worst part of the episode in my opinion, full of trading blows without much sense of purpose other than setting it up so fourth gear is our only hope while Doffy laughed, there was one part of it I deeply enjoyed. That is, Doflamingo’s speech about how he’s kept his eyes on Luffy. He was suspicious that his boy Crocodile was taken down by a marine, he checked wanted posters and recognized one that went up in bounty at the same time and cracked the case. Before anybody’s eyes were on Luffy, before Enies Lobby, before the Celestial Dragon, before the War of the Best, Doflamingo was fully aware of Luffy. He was cautious of the D. in his name, as if this was fate, the boy he was worried about and saw first hand at the War of the Best, barreled forward for years and has now met Doffy in combat. That and the fact that we brought up the distinction of a pirate and a hero again… But, to Luffy, taking everything upon himself to fight for his friends and his crew, that is what being a pirate is all about and I don’t think that’s so different from some of the greats like Roger or Whitebeard. Lastly, Luffy’s line about not letting anyone die is so much more powerful than if he had said that pre-Marineford. In a world where people only die in backstories, that sounds like a given, that it is a reality whether Luffy fights hard or not. But after the trauma and pain Luffy suffered and the work he put in, it’s now a constant test to see if Luffy can uphold that ideal. It’s not the first time he’s uttered that phrase either, if I recall he totally has in the past and I probably responded in the same way, this has become a big motivator for Luffy. For that is the freedom he fights for. |
| GEAR......... FOURTH! |
| OMG YES YES YES AAAAAAAA im hyped uppp |
 |
| Cabbage is a true gentleman. Enough said! Luffy's fight with Doflamingo's already thrilling enough, with the clashing kicks reminding me a lot of Rayleigh and Kizaru, but I never expected him to unleash Gear 4th in this fight, damn! |
 |
| OH HELL YEAH!!! GIMME THAT GEAR FOURTH.... |
 |
| wtf Oda never ceases to amze me .... Luffy did it with gear 2 and 3rd at ennies lobby and now surely he will amaze me with 4th gear omfg!!!! |
| When Luffy said Gear Fourth I immediately got Goosebumps |
 |
| OH MY GOD 4th GEAR MY ADRENALINE IS PEAKING MY BLOOD IS BOILING I'VE NEVER BEEN SO PUMPED ABOUT NEXT EP |
| Forgive me if I've said this before but the pacing of this arc in the anime is SO bad. It's an absolute slog to get through. Stuff like this makes me tell people to just read the manga, no matter how wonderfully animated some other parts of the series are. |
 |
| Respect Cavendish!! Oh shit, WTF!! Fourth Gear?? |
 |
| Looks like we're finally gonna see gear four !!! |
