| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Whoo hoo!! Gear Four!! Cracker's true form looks so bad-ass, I really love it. The scene where Sanji had the butterfly on his finger then he looked at the bracelet made me sad ;.; Looks like we are going to enjoy a great fight! |
| Cracker is badass af! Cool to see gear 4 in action again. Even if Toei reused some earlier animation. Cracker is a one man army!  |
 |
| Cracker's devil fruit is kinda OP if you ask me. So, when he says he can generate an endless amount does that mean he can make like hundreds, thousands, millions of soldiers made of biscuits or some shit? I'm imagining Luffy eating those biscuits and defeating cracker. |
| Dayum! Finally the arc is getting interesting now. |
 |
| Good episode. That Sanji butterfly scene. :( Cracker decimates Luffy and finally Gear 4 is here, Luffy manages to push back Cracker and destroy him but it turns out all he was able to do was just destroy Cracker's armor, now that the real one has showed himself. He shows his true power in being able to create many more versions of the very same armor that Luffy had to go G4 to defeat. How is Luffy gonna hold up? I started laughing when Cracker said that he coughed up Jam and not blood. XD Nami intimidating the homies is so much win. <3 |
 |
| at first i didnt get it about the butterfly scene, then after reading some post now i get it xD it looks like everyone have a bad time, sanji even cant defeat his father, and luffy barely made it with that cracker, cant wait next eps <3 |
| Oh well i was hoping for a whole episode only fighting between Luffy and Cracker. Still it was good ep.Next week ep 800 *heavy breathing* :))). |
| At least Luffy was able to destroy Cracker...or one of his minions |
| Biscuits being that strong? and creating so many out of thin air? Talk about an OP power... I also expected Cracker's real voice to be much higher pitched like Caesar. 800 next week! |
 |
| He was fighting an armor, damn. But if he defeats the real Cracker it's all over. |
 |
| Whoa and the real Cracker shows himself.. I like how his hair was on fire like it was a.. cracker. Nami's facial expression was hella hot too Finally, Gear Fourth!!! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| 3/5 Cracker is badass :O This arc finally getting interesting. :) 800 next week yay |
  |
| I wasn't expecting much because of what some people were saying but the episode was great! Even by padding standards it didn't feel that long. Minor complaints about Luffy being cut not shown enough but it didn't make sense in the manga either w the injury just disappearing (so it's fair). Crackers still the first person to damage G4 and he left an impact. This episode was probably one of the best all around since that ant fight montage a while back. |
| I noticed the coughing as well , it's either the fighting and roll pretzel's effect or the poison fish he ate that reiju saved him from . I mean when the life span ends , well it just ends and that's it . |

 as every time the fight is very short but i love it. cracker looks very bad-ass i like the design of the character. the rabbit and the duck always make me laugh XD Luffy in a big problem he has to fight many of cracker's shields but luffy always win hahaha. he used the gear forth for cracker and i guess he'll difficulty beat cracker. what he'll do when he'll fight big mom he need a big plan and some help he must be smart beating big mom or a yonko not easy |

| So, Cracker was a sort of tank... Oh man next episode Sanji's brother and he can’t do anything to them because of those bracelets *Trigger level maximum* |
 |
| Luffy goes gear 4th but crackers has the biscuit fruit and the fight really begins now. |
 |
| Like in the last episode no matter which attacks Luffy tried nothing worked against Crackers biscuit armor. Finally he was forced to use Gear 4th. The power level difference is so immense it's crazy. He crushed Crackers armor with 1 hit. And then the real Cracker showed up. He looks pretty badass even if I don't know what's wrong with his hair. It looks like a fuse. :D His devil fruit seems so op. Normally you should ask how he can lose against someone with his endless biscuit warriors. The only chance would be to land a hit on him. Curious what Luffy will try to do in the next episodes against Cracker. Hmm I don't think things will turn out well when Sanji meets his other 2 brothers in the next episode. But damn Reiju again looked so good in this episode, definitely one of the hottest if not the hottest female character so far. The scene with Nami was funny. That rabbit and the bird get me every time :P We also saw Chopper and Carrot again. Hopefully they will find a way out of Brulees mirror world. |

| The animation was terrible... In the fight with Doflamingo, Gear 4th was at least decent but here? For God's sake... Toei Animation is one of the biggest animation companies not only in Japan but in the world too and can't even make a good animated fight? Like, post-Timeskip animation has been below average almost every single episode... Average episode. |
| Cracker's true form is way cooler than the dumb armor he makes. Also I am in love with the Rabbit and Bird combo. I can't get enough of them, I hope we keep seeing them.

| As a manga reader, I always thought that Cracker was blonde. I find it a bit weird that its coloured purple. |
| I wasn't expecting much from this Cracker vs. Luffy fight, but this episode just made it a whole lot more interesting! It was nice seeing Cracker's bizarre little personality, and I never would've thought he was similar to Trebol in that he's hiding a much smaller body under his armour. Only Cracker's armour is made of biscuits and not snot...and his hidden form is considerably better looking than Trebol's could ever be. Seriously, Cracker's design is great. I'd buy a figure of him so they better release one eventually *o* Kind of hoping he's not gonna just be fodder and that he'll actually have a bit of a role to play after Luffy inevitably beats him. Other than that, this is shaping up to be a much better fight...see what interesting antagonists can do? This episode was paced well too- no overtly obvious padding and the scenes flitting to all the other parties don't overstay their welcome since we actually learn some relevant stuff. Also, it's weird seeing Sanji being cold to a girl. Like, I know it's his estranged sister & I get it, but it's just. So. Weird. |

| I still don't get the butterfly scene. And Crackers real appearance truly is badass. I love it |
 |
| Alright that armor thing really surprised me. Did not see it coming. Also, it's good to see Luffy's goku4 back so soon. |
 |
| Crazy to me that Luffy had to go into Gear 4 this early into the arc. This just speaks a lot about what the crew is gonna face later on into this arc, like holy shit! All around great episode though :) |
| “I love heroes, but I don't want to be one. Do you even know what a hero is!? For example, you have some meat. Pirates will feast on the meat, but the hero will distribute it among the people! I want to eat the meat!” - Monkey D. Luffy |
| Poor Sanji :< Hope that Nami will come to rescue Luffy soon, their fights in this forest are just boring. |
  |
| Biscuit powers. Okay. Now that's just fucking beyond stupid. |
| Really? Nami can control the trees and that bunny because she has the vivre card of Big Mom? That's bullshit. |
| This episode was a pleasant surprise because I began with poor expectations. When I saw the way the Cracker fight was going, I had a few concerns. Primarily, I thought it would be a boring fight. It looked to be one all about raw power, Luffy struggles with all of his attacks from weakest to strongest, Cracker withstands all of them, then has a slightly rough fight as gear 4 until he wins. Secondly, if so not only would this fight be boring, but it would completely reduce the weight that Kid and Apoo and Bege have in the world. If Luffy could destroy a Sweet General with no brains and raw strength then he must be much stronger than the others. Thirdly, this would trash Big Mom’s reputation. Obviously, this is not the case. When the biscuit armor broke, the real Cracker came out. A raw strength contest isn’t what is occurring any longer, that was simply to crack the shell of Cracker and reveal his true self. Not only that, but he revealed he was hiding his power level. That one biscuit armor he created and controlled was just one, he can seemingly create an army as big as he wants. He seems fearsome and this fight has become interesting, diminishing all of the concerns I had. We even have 3 facets of this battle. Nami has become as bad as ever, recognizing she had power over her foes and going from scared for her life to ruthless and fearsome, the classic. As she and Usopp once said, if their opponent has their back turned, you can count on them! She is using her vivre card to force the Homies to fight against their own leader and help Luffy! Luffy will potentially have allies in this frantic fight, and while that is happening, Carrot and Chopper are trying to save themselves in the mirror dimension of Brulee’s! They are not damsels in distress, what they do may impact the overall conflict in a meaningful way. Suddenly, the forest is not a boring cut away from the drama with Sanji, it’s interesting in itself. For the record, there was one aspect of this fight I did find interesting before Cracker revealed his true self. When he was talking down to Luffy about being a low-class pirate selfishly trying to take his friend away from a good, noble life, it gave me massive flashbacks to Sabo. Back when, if I recall, Ace and Luffy were told similar things about themselves and told that Sabo would have a better life without them. By refusing to rescue Sabo, the two of them ended up thinking they lost a brother. Ace even died not knowing that Sabo was alive which is heartbreaking. But that’s besides the point, Luffy learned long ago that friends prioritize any cheap sense of class that is thrown around. |
| Much to my surprise, Carrot started to grow on me. She's a gutsy, bubbly, scrappy frontline fighter who can goof off with the Straw Hat crew, but can also dive headfirst into a fight with just her fists. I didn't think much of her at first, but she's a nice character to have around. I've noticed that ever since Impel Down, One Piece has been adding various companion characters to travel with the crew. They aren't necessarily crewmate candidates, but they help Luffy and friends along while providing creating variety for reoccurring characters throughout a particular arc. It makes me wonder if Oda was using this to test fan reactions for which characters should get more screen time. |
| Luffy kicking Cracker's ass in an instant while he was in Gear 4th more or less confirmed that he's weaker than Doflamingo in terms of combat ability but it turned out that it wasn't even his real body after all... There must be some sort of weakness he can exploit to win against him before his form expires. It looks like a family reunion's finally going to take place among the Vinsmokes. I can only imagine Ichiji and Niji having a low opinion of Sanji as always but I also wonder if they'll react differently once they end up seeing him becoming a lot stronger. |
 |
| Wow... Luffy really had to rely on Gear Fourth. Didn't expect to see it so soon. |
 |
| Crackers real character design looks much better than that big man rampaging around |
| BRO BROKE IN HALF! |
| Finally Gear Fourth!! But what does that butterfly scene with Sanji meant? |
 |
| It was interesting to see Luffy go into Gear 4 already. There was so much buildup to it in the last arc but now that he's facing some dude who's supposedly as strong as Donquixote, he pulls it out. There should be some emotional attachment to each of these gears. |
