Luffy is beasting it.

I like how Toei used actual footage from Episode 1 during Koby's flashback. I especially liked the bars on the left and right to keep it wide screen. It was so subtle and must've been really expensive. n_n

In all seriousness, it was epic. I couldn't stop but picture Whitebeard, after he was stabbed, like, 4 times, saying 'What are you, dense? Are you retarded or something? Just who the hell do you think I am? I'm the goddamn Whitebeard.'

I wish Toei would reanimate the REALLY old flashbacks. Those borders look fucking gross and completely ruin the moment, aside from that, nice episode.

I loved this episode. Finally...Luffy has used his haki (though he hasn't realized it yet) and for the first time since the war started, the admirals (especially Aokiji) actually looked worried or at less trying to be cool about it. I had been waiting for this moment since forever I've read the manga and the scene was better than I thought it would be. The majority of the army and the executioners are unconscious; that's what you get for underestimating Luffy.

Anyway, I don't get the title for the episode though. The first ten minutes were about Coby and Luffy, but after the punch it was pretty much about how the Whitebeard pirates were starting to lose.

Can't wait for the next episode. I just wonder how long they are going to keep Luffy running to the scaffold to try to save Ace.

OH MY GOD! I loved that episode!
5/5!
I was worried (due to the title), that the episode would be a long boring fight between Luffy and Coby, but it ended in one hit and very quickly, although Coby did surprise me with that speed : )

But the rest was awesome, almost tear jerking at the whitebeard moments, and Luffy FINALLY and I MEAN FINALLY used the King's Dispostion haki thing.

F-finally...I don't think I've ever shaken for this long after an episode. THAT WAS SO COOL!!! And now the government has another reason to get rid of Luffy, as if being Dragon's spawn, declaring war, and breaking in & out of Impel Down to save Ace weren't enough.

Well... in fact that was exactly the point.
Everyone got that Luffy'd fight Coby at some point during the War and thought that it would be a big emotional moment with the whole "Oh I have to fightmy dearest friend. Poor me :''''( " and in the end the fight was about 10 seconds with Luffy not even looking back at Coby laying on the floor.
GREAT !!

Damn, I really worried about this episode, fearing that they would ruin their fight with unnecessary sad music and stuff but they keep it close to the manga.
Too bad tough that they did not keep Coby's internal thoughts ( "I will fight him until my final breath" ) when the idiot still thought he 'd have the chance to do something against Luffy.

Too bad again that they change the speech of Whitebeard's crew when they all went back to him to protect him.
The whole :
- Marines : what formation are those pirates taking up behind Whitebeard ?
-Whitebeard's crew : its meaning is beyond the likes of you... we're defending the name of our father !
was epic in the manga and a bit weak in the anime

Thankfully the title was a mislead, I thought they were going to drag out the Coby scene. God knows how many times he's said he wanted to be an admiral and stuff. I kinda feel sorry for the guy though, Luffy basically just ran past him like nothing. =|

Wow, I'm so glad that it didn't take too long that scene with Coby :D
Still there was (as always ^^) too much retrospection and Whitebeard's speech was like slow-motion xD
And finally we could see that King's Haki, it almost brought a tear to my eye :D

Luffy was more amazing in the manga. I was expecting a big yell but all I got was a little screech. Oh well. I hope they add in some extra few punches from Whitebeard, he's going down too fast!!

Awesome episode, their faces after luffy's haki were so funny ^^

On another note: It's really tiring to always read manga spoilers in anime discussions. Every week the same shit. Is it so hard to understand not to post in here manga contents that haven't been shown yet (or use at least spoiler tags)?! That's what the manga chapter discussions are for! I read the manga as well and I simply don't understand it why people do it. Kills the fun for other people.

Agree with the sentiments regarding spoilers from the manga, if I didn't read the manga so far I'd be pretty pissed. Puts you off visiting the forums if you've not read the manga.

On the episode I liked it although I'm pretty sure there were a few more reactions from people that were in the manga that were missing from here, would liked to have seen them too.

luffy defeated the Rokushiki master, he isn't going to have trouble with someone that can only use soru.. Coby was defeated extremely quickly when garp came to see him and luffy has just gone through hell and back and is taking a second trip+hyped up on adrenaline.

Yes you are.
I don't think there's anything Coby could have done in this situation.
In Water Seven, he already knew that a "Soru" of this level doesn't work against Luffy and they were playing nice.
Luffy went to Marinefold to save his brother, not to test his skills or to "grew up" enough to achieve cute dreams, like Coby.
There already was a gap between their fighting abilities, when you add the giant gap between their resolve/motivations/present objectives, Coby did not stand a chance.

I'm happy that a punch was enough to make him kiss the floor. People are not fighting this was for fun.

F*** amazing episode!!!! I was wondering when Luffy was going to use his haki again and what a perfect moment to bring it out. I couldn't stop laughing with excited and had to replay the ending scenes multiple time just to see the reactions of each Admirals face. It would have been even better if they had shown Garps reaction as well. I could only imagin what would be going through his head watching his grandson taking out so many marines. I can't wait till the next episode.

I agree with the previous posters about the anime spoiling action that has been going on by some posters who read the manga. I don't understand how people could not get it through their heads that this is an anime only discussion thread and that their action will ruin the enjoyment of others.
