I love how everyone in the crew has their own unique fighting style now, really entertaining stuff! Good episode, Hordy is finally out of comission, nice job wrapping up the fights, stayed true to the manga. Nice feel good arc overall, introducing a little bit of the improvement everyone made over the last 2 years, can't wait till they wrap this up and
gets under way, really interested to see how the anime portrayal of that plays out.

I can't tell if it's the episode or the cold, but I can't stop shaking. It's probably the cold, considering I'd seen this play out already.

Great episode. I was wondering how Luffy was planning to stop the ship, I guess he will just smash it to pieces... don't see how that will help though since same amount of wood will still drop to the island.

Great ep! They showed each of the crew's fight and ended it rather quickly IMO still... nice to see the skills they gain over the 2 years.

For a second there I though that Luffy became a mecha when he inflated both his arms and used his Haki.

Haha I also laughed at that part! Very funny esp with the monster voice.
LOL'ed @ Usopp and Chopper's reaction to Franky's laser beam.

Glad to see that Hordy got what he deserved. Can't wait for this arc to wrap up.
I mainly see the animes... so don't blame me for not knowing about the Manga/LN

Seeing gatling elephant gun animated looks a lot more brutal..
I think Usopp's shot would've looked better if they had animated it as an instant impact instead of the wolf running in the air but thats just me
Franky's laser beam looked amazing
Brook was great as well

Can't wait for the last couple eps of this arc

Anyone still remember the mud mud pirate who came here with the straw hats? ;D

The way the battles were quickly wrapped was disappointing after the anime several episodes to build up the atmosphere; if the fishman pirate officers were so easy to deal with, why drag the fight out? <_<"

Usopp's monster-pinetree weirded me out.

hody also didn't survive a jet bazooka? like shown in the last episode, and that was an elephant gattling? seriously
I find it funny after so many empty episodes, all the fights end in 5min, in the end what was the point of the previous episodes? that's why this arc sucks, so much waste of time for enemies that lost in 5min in the anime or in a single chapter in the manga

FINALLY.

This arc was very hard to get through. I hate Hordy so much. Glad it's over. Aside from Luffy, I think Sanji had the most interesting power-up.

A few more episodes and I guess we'll finally get the Punk Hazard arc. I want to see that so bad.

Arc is finally ending huh. Finally, it was a bit tiring for me, well, I guess it was supposed to show all new skills of Straw Hats, but whatever.
Hody was one really annoying villian, he can't even compare to Arlong, or anyone like this.

Didn't mind the ep too much...but they lengthened the fight between Luffy and Hody more. That was unnecessary if you ask me...well whatever....hopefully pace quickens now...I want to proceed to the next one.

Sanji using those 2 years he went through as his motivation for his attack rofl.

Luffy was a bit overkill with that elephant gatling lol tbh but he should've seen Franky's laser beam

So this arc is about to end huh, I guess I'm one of those those actually enjoyed this arc o.o

Can't wait to see what's next :)

This episode had some really nice animation on Luffy's part. The rest got the armpit.....(this is not to say they were all terrible). Usopp's animation was pretty weak, did that move seriously finish off one of the strongest fishmen in existence?! Oda did a marvelous job with the manga chapter's art and effect.

I really liked the music choices in this one.

Hody vs Luffy was kind of exaggerated Toei.... :/
I'm afraid that Fishman Island is one of the weakest arcs for the anime. -_-

As far as crushing Noah... I think force x velocity = power justifies what Oda had in mind.

2 years ago I was very shocked and regretted reading the chapter Ace died (when I wasn't reading manga), but now I'm so happy I'm reading it !
Just what the hell is this shit ! >__<
They made Luffy take stupid damages against Hody, and the final attacks of the crew were way too awesome in the manga =/
Oh god, they seriously have to fix the anime when they arrive to new world ! Normally it should be 2 chapters in an episode, but now not even a chapter in a single episode =(

They made Luffy pretty weak with that extended fight... but anyways, epic episode, I kinda liked the Elephant Gatling Gun.

One other thing about this episode is how Zoro was badly drawn, worst than even previous episodes.

Usopp really needs more firepower and nukes, the type he was using back in Water 7..

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.

...Name one other instance where they've missed the point this badly. Seriously, I've been following the anime weekly since Enies Lobby, and in all that time, there has never been another episode that annoyed me this much. This isn't just some minor deviation like having the crew meet Usopp before their run-in with Gaimon or Aokiji's introduction taking place on a different island than it did in the manga, the anime is quite literally doing the exact opposite of what the manga did in regards to Hody's character.

This episode was really great. New techniques were awesome.
Brook's Ice technique were unique. I hope Luffy can stop Noah in time with Elephant Gun but next episode is going to decide that.
