| Mostly a built up episodes for this arc. Showing buggy's crew again. Also we get a quick glimpse of impel and that place looks like sheer hell in deed. Wonder how hancock and luffy are going to get by all the security. |

| Well, as I've stated before, it's nigh retarded to just jump into action without buildup and I think this episode did the job nicely. |

| At long last.. finally at Impel Down.. It was great to see the Buggy crew with Alvida again.. it seems he was captured and imprisoned also.. maybe a fortunate reuniting with Luffy in the next episode.. Also a short glimpse inside Impel Down.. and as expected it is a gruesome and definitely scary place.. And anyone notice the guards' uniforms were too similar to the Nazi uniforms? :-P |
   |
| Curious as to how Luffy plans on infiltrating without having Hancock suffer consequences |
 |
| Not many well known prisoners for being the largest prison. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Impel Down is hell... I am assuming that ACEEEEEEEEEE used to be friends with Shanks and Buggy too? Nice :) I am afraid that I am gonna be super nervous during this whole arc and during the 2 following ones :( |
| Why are you doing that for Luffy Boa? :c You're risking your life for nothing (please prove me wrong upcoming episodes!) :o That kind of love sure is special. I hope Luffy does/says something to Boa that will make her feel "loved" or "special". I mean you know she hates men but fell for one guy, the kind of girl who is faithful to the one she loves. I really like her, as well as Robin! :D On the other hand, if I could choose someone for Boa my choices would be Shanks, Ace, Zoro. Guys who don't say much but shows it when it really matters. I really liked 1:45~1:56 at the opening. It felt kinda sweet(??) ♥ (Sorry for replying to a super old discussion '09 I just started One Piece from episode 1) :) |
| And here we go. Infiltrate the world's greatest prison. |
| "Let Justice Be Done!" My Theme Fight again, fight again for justice! |
| Things are getting sweet. |
  |
| exciting |
 |
| Great build-up episode, wonder how Luffy and Boa will get out of this one |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| this h counting thing gets me razy. my poor little ace T__T |
 |
| Wow. That first scene was just beautiful to me. They are one cool family, Ace, Luffy, and Garp. The way he subverted expectations with that whole speech about how he wanted them to be marines and how Luffy never learns before saying how proud he is of Luffy and giving a jolly laugh, paired with Ace's smile made me tear up. Garp may be tough on these boys but he does love them and Ace knows it best it seems. To me I read that conversation as Garp saying despite the fact that they're destined to be enemies, no matter how different they are from each other, Garp is proud that Luffy is like he is: absolutely true to himself no matter what. For if Luffy listened to that tough love he gave him he wouldn't be Luffy. He's so proud of him for being such a strong man and doing what he believes in despite everything else. MY HEART! That scene was perfect, I wouldn't change a single thing about it. Meanwhile we see Ace has a rocky relationship with Dragon, whereas Luffy seemed to have not really thought about him. We know there is some love there, at least for Luffy as Dragon saved his life that one time. However, I did find the notion about Whitebeard taking on Ace as his son endearing. It really meant a lot to him, his love for Whitebeard makes sense now. It kinda reminds me of I find it awesome how we see Luffy going off on whims and following what he believes in and by doing so doing and creating such momenumenal, amazing and shocking things. We're really seeing a legend in the making, one day when he is the King of Pirates he'll really have deserved that title. Normally when you hear about these amazing figures and about their long list of achievements, that's all abstracted from the person, it's actually somewhat unthinkable and for me at least, I can't imagine the kind of person they are or what those great things they did actually were. For Luffy we can see every moment of his life and understand ever decision he makes, and it's cool because it's so believable and understandable. He's just one of those characters that you don't only know as a legend in the end but you understand why he's a legend. It would be cool if the One Piece universe continued from another persons perspective when Luffy's story is done and instead of this magical "Gol D Roger" figure being known by all, its "Monkey D Luffy" instead and we can not only know they had an impact on the world like nobody else but also what they did and why, first hand. So, in Impel Down currently we have Ace, and a former and present Warlord. If Luffy can start a prison break we can maybe have a team formed of Luffy with past enemies and new faces all brought together through circumstance. We also have Buggy here, and I honestly forget most things about him but now that we know, if we didn't already, that he has a dream to find "Captain John's treasure island" maybe that will add some context to him. He seems like a joke but he was on Rodgers crew and he's close with Shanks. He's quite a big figure in the world relatively even if his crew isn't well known, and I like how it foreshadowed his capture with his face in a newspaper during Amazon Lily! This arc is really shaping up to be something awesome. I was somewhat taken aback by how Boa did something so suspicious to say she will only come along if she can stop at Impel Down but it all makes sense now. She acted as if they could search her and as if all she wanted was a conversation with Ace. They have the defenses here to risk that and if it gets a Warlord on board in the upcoming war it's all worth it. Now, what the hell is Luffy’s plan... |
| Seeing how they treat their prisoners, calling Impel Down a manifestation of hell on earth wouldn't be an exaggeration at all. Luffy has less than two days to rescue Ace but just getting in there looks like it's way too difficult already... I'm looking forward to seeing a lot of old and new faces in there soon though! |
 |
| Buggy's crew and Alvida make an appearance again! I don't know why, but I really want to see Buggy fight alongside with Luffy. It would be an interesting turn of events but not unbelievable. Buggy still has a really cool devil fruit! I hope to see him again! |
 |
| though to be slow episode, it build the tense well for the arc. next episode - the return of captain bagi! |
| The hype is real... |
 |
| They finally reached at Impel down and buggy is getting executed there as well |
| Impel Down, the underwater prison, hellish looking place indeed. |
 |
| worst fucking thing i've ever seen in my life GET ON WITH IT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD |
 |
| this show is a fucking insult and the people and studio running it should be hit by a god damned meteor worst fucking slew of garbage that i couldn't even replicate by drinking sewer water |
|
| Impeldown officially start!! Oh boy how Luffy and Boa gonna get out from this situation. Also i just realized, when did Buggy got captured? |
 |
| Richie the Lion crying and dreaming about food kept making me laugh probably more than it should have. Buggy’s crew are funny xD |
| ooh I wonder how they're gonna get out of this |
 |
| DEEP behind enemy lines... Impel Down had to be the most fun arc to read, adaptation looking like it might just deliver |
| We're seeing so many old characters! buggy's lion just thinking about food was too funny How is luffy gonna escape from this? he's stuck in that room with boa and about to get caught |
| Boa doesn't seem powerful to me now. The way I see it, it looks like she can only turn "weak" men into stone. Which means she would be hopeless against powerful foes. That general guy doesn't seem affected by Boa at all. |
 She got him back. If you understand the characters well enough, you'd know she did! |
| Luffy has his work cut out for him. Prison has a lot. Will be an interesting arc to get out of this. More interesting thing is outside of ace. It has the Fishman warlord. The last one we know nothing about. Also looks like we will have buggy retrun. It will be good to see him again. Been way to longs Finally and most importantly. Crocodile in here. I can’t wait to see Luffy interact with him. Imagine if crocodile makes a deal to help Luffy get ace out and they team up would be wild. I do hope nothing happens to Boa. I have grown to like her a lot. |
