| The crew's so big that watching them all fight is like a hitting the "scan" button on a radio. The Luffy vs. Hordy fight in this episode felt quite wrong, but I couldn't really place it. If everything vegard_aune said is true, then that explains why it felt so messed up/ |

Vegard_Aune said: Hmmm, let's see... -Luffy actually being afraid of Hody after he took some more Energy Steroids. WHAT THE HELL. In the manga he basically just went "Man he's tough" and then proceeded to flatten him without a second thought. -Hody actually overwhelming Luffy when Luffy previously had the upper hand WHEN THEY WERE FIGHTING UNDERWATER WHERE HODY HAD A NATURAL ADVANTAGE. Again, WHAT THE HELL. -Luffy actually coming close to losing the fight and his Elephant Gun being played off like a desperate last hope when, again, in the manga he merely saw Hody as an annoyance at best. -Luffy seemingly directing the Elephant Gatling AT Hody, when the attack was clearly aimed at the ship itself in the manga, and Hody was completely out of his mind at this point. IS IT REALLY THAT HARD TO UNDERSTAND THAT HODY IS NOT THE KIND OF ALL-POWERFUL SUPER-BADASS THAT CROCODILE AND ROB LUCCI WERE?! -And then we get to the other Straw Hats' finishers... Brook: Okay. Franky: Epic. Usopp: PATHETIC. Chopper: EVEN MORE PATHETIC. Jinbe: LAME. Sanji: WHERE'S THE IMPACT?! Zoro: A STILL FRAME ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME. ...So in short, I ABSOLUTELY HATED THIS EPISODE. They completely and utterly missed the point with Hody's defeat (he's supposed to be an anti-climax boss. The entire fight was meant to showcase how much stronger Luffy has gotten. Trying to replicate Luffy's desperate struggle against genuinely powerful enemies like Lucci or Crocodile utterly contradicts everything this fight was meant to represent. Also Luffy's goal was not to defeat Hody anyway, it was destroying the Noah. That's what's supposed to be the climax of this arc) and aside from Brook and Franky, the other Straw Hats' new techniques were completely underwhelming, and in the case of Usopp and Chopper, it didn't even look like they defeated their enemies as much as just knocked them back a little. Man totally agree with you. They fucked up the anime pretty badly. They made Luffy so damn weak compare to the manga, and they even made Luffy reuse the Red Hawk again, which decrease its epicness. Usopp's impact wolf has no impact at all, it just knocked over the enemy, the same with Sanji's hell's memories and Jimbei's attack, Zoro doesn't even have the epicness anymore.. Franky's and Brook's technique was animated decently at best.. LMAO I am so gonna take a break from the anime.. fed up and saddened, feels like they don't even put any effort into it anymore.. |

| Oh dear. This stupidly prolonged arc seems like it's finally coming to an end. Thoughts on ep: Luffy having a hard time beating Hody? and taking around 5 eps to do it? WHAT THE HELL? Can the Anime get anymore stupid than this??! 2/5! Let the stupid arc end already! |
 When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. |
| It was nice to see the crew's new fighting techniques. And Luffy's Elephant Gatling was pretty awesome. I also liked how in the past few episodes, Hody grabs lots of energy steroids out of no where, seriously where does he get them from? XD |
| Hi... |
| not really a fan of this arc but the fights ended quickly and they were half decent. Next arc is gonna be full of interesting things. looking forward to the part when luffy talks to that yonko if u know wat i mean (; |

| The anime only made Hody stronger. It didn't make Luffy weaker in any way. You guys are complaining just for the sake of complaining. Plus, the Red Hawk in this episode was much better than the one in the previous episode. At least I think so. |
| luffy used lots of unneeded power |
 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. |
| This episode actually went fast. Last few episodes have been dragging so I'm happy they'll be wrapping things up in this arc |
| Yeah, I honestly really enjoyed this arc, and I thought the anime adaption was pretty good... until this episode. I still liked half the episode, but they ruined Luffy and Hody's final moment. It annoys me how weak it made Luffy seem. |
| Gomu gomu no Busou Renkin! Finally something happened. |
Vegard_Aune said: Hmmm, let's see... This. 1000 times this. Sigh, i am starting to look like someone who gets on here only to rant, but after al this buildup...we get THIS...I...I...I felt it was cheap. This hole nonesense should have been over 12 episodes ago. All of these powerups reminded me of dragon ball. It was also ridiculous how many pills Hody had stashed on himself. |
 |
| Hulk Chopper acting like Chopper was super cute to watch :3 Loved Sanji and Zoro as usual, Brook was funny, Robin's and Nami's reactions to Franky's light beam were perfect and I also like how Usopp always compliments everyone without jealousy... Everyone got an easy win, so I am guessing this whole arc is kind of warm up...? The truth is since I don't read the manga (so I can't compare them) Fishman Island isn't one of my favourite arcs. But usually when an arc like this comes the next ones are super epic, so I am not complaining :) |
| And that concludes the fights. I'm underwhelmed with this arc. They prolonged it too much. Though I didn't read the manga, I noticed that the Luffy-Hody fight was done badly in which they seemed made Hody looks strong that Luffy's having a hard time on him (though he shouldn't). It's like the 2 years of training looks wasted. And I don't now if this is manga or anime thing but Usopp's fighting style seems to be changing, making him Pop Green-dependent. While Pop Greens are good addition to him by supplementing his lack of team presence and crowd-controlling and supporting skills, his sniping skills shouldn't be abandoned because his role is "SNIPER". So yeah. Hopefully, the next arc will be impressive. |
| Sanji *Remember, over the past 2 year... (Sanji-kunnnn) WHY THE HELL SHOULD I GO THROUGH SUCH HELL?! I want to burn those memories!!! HELL MEMORIESSS!* this and Brook moment save this episode and Elephant Gatling, Epic. |
 |
| I've gotta say that I'm still disappointed with Zoro's fights (except from the one with the swordsman from Wano country). They could have atleast shown Zoro dashing/flying like when Rayleigh kicked Kizaru or efforts to show how he throws those skills like Hiryuu and Kaen. Most improvement I liked was from Sanji. That sky walk looks so useful and his attacks are new, same with the other SH mostly Brook and Robin while the some shown upgraded techniques like Tatsumaki, 108 Pound Hou and Onigiri. :p |
| Pretty good episode |
  |
| damn luffy *-* , so he finally decided to destroy the noah |
 |
| Awesome display of new techniques!! Chopper blushing after being complimented in his Monster form was just hilarious |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Everyone won their fight, finally. Really cool attacks. |
 |
| I really like how the group developed. Great episode *-* |
 |
| Breaking this into two halves. |
| Just one serving of Elephant Gum is strong enough to down a mythical sea beast so Elephant Gatling looked absolutely devastating. If Hordy didn't end up downing a whole crate of those drugs, he probably would've died in the first few punches so he was lucky enough to be able to do that beforehand. Everyone finished those officers off with their finisher moves with absolute confidence. It was a bit too one-sided but that's exactly the point. They're not even in the New World yet so it'd be a bit insulting to their hard work if they really struggled against what were essentially entry-level enemies for them. Noah's the final boss kek |

on the side note... |

| It's so irritating to see when they make it look like Luffy doesn't stand a chance against an Arlong wannabe. |
 |
| All battle comes to the end!! Hordy are so delusional, that is just sad. |
 |
| "I have HAD it with this motherfucking SHARK on this motherfucking BOAT!" - Monkey D. "Straw Hat" Luffy Robin was trying to look bored looking at the explosion but with those shades she looked awesome .... maybe you're not a frog... but you did CROAK |
| Like how they were able to proper pace out and even finish all the fights with the officiers showing upgraded fighting techniques. Only one that feels held back though is Zoro. So far we haven't really seen anything truely new. He's just clearly gotten stronger to the point where he's able to be back to the carefree fighter he was in earlier arcs of One Piece. We have yet to see him need to get serious and use something truely new. So much for having to keep the Noah undamaged. And given that Luffy said they should let him do things his way, he'll be smashing that thing to pieces. Just hope Neptune won't drag too much on that fact and value the island being saved over an over-sized hunk of wood they knew pretty much nothing about. Now after all of this are they finally going to remember mud-man, who's been awol all this time? |
 |
| now chopper can controle himself ! i love how brook can destroy his enemy with his new technique ! and also luffy was so strong ! |
 |
| Glad they finally one the fights. Luffy- definitely has improved. Hordy got some hits in, but never felt he was in serious danger like every other arc fight (with the exception of East blue and Skypeia). Iron hands, 3rd gear deadly combo Brock- low key been the third best straw hat this arc behind Zoro and Luffy. Very smooth there Usopp- Nice trickery. He definitely the perfect rouge archer type. Chopper- tbh kind of don’t like how he has control now. Anytime he got to the big version it was terrifying. Now it’s just meh. Franky- I feel like he barely used his powers. Still always love how chopper, Usopp and Luffy love his powers. But Nami and Robin are never impressed Sanji- His flying ability still might be the coolest new thing. Zoro- Complete bad ass as always with killer line “you might not be a frog but you crocked” or something like that. |
