| haha sanji lol luffy such a badass |
| Yeah! Finally seen most of the Colosseum participants animated! Haha, more of Sanji's and Violet's romantic comedy. xD When I heard Cavendish's voice, the first thing that came across my mind was "It's not Zura, it's Katsura Cavendish!" :D |
| Holy are they dragging this out...have to wait another week to see who's under the paper bag. Also, King Elizabello II looked sort of silly with his colour design, imo. |
| かいぞくおうにおれはなる！ |
| Okay episode, Still really wouldn't call this good pacing -.- |
 |
| Art in this episode was terrible from start to finish , crappy low grade animation and not so great pacing , did not like this episode at all. |
| Nice to finally see most of the contestants and Cavendish at the end. Sanji and Violet. lol Oh, nice to see Bellamy again! |
| what is a person with SAD to do.. |
| HOLY SHIT THAT'S BELLAMY?!! HAHAHAHAHA!! I THOUGHT HE WAS KILLED AFTER LUFFY KICKED HIS ASS. I doubt Luffy even remembers the guy. |
| hahahahaha, Cavendish. I can't get over how awesome it is that Ishida Akira is voicing him. Whenever I read his lines in the manga I always imagined his voice because it was a perfect fit imo. And now it's real. Thank you Toei :D |
 |
| I don't read the manga, but if I had to bet, I know who I will be putting all my money on in 'Round C' unless we are about to get majorly trolled. Wait?!?! WHAT?!!? Bellamy the dick is back? Very surprised. I wish I knew more than Lucy and Bellamy... This arc would be much more interesting if more of the Strawhats were in the battle. Zoro would be perfect in these games, but Oda has to have something interesting in store. |
| Ah!!!!!! Bartolomeo's name was mentioned. My baby! I'm so excited. I was scared about where the episode was going when I saw Sanji and Violet. That did drag on for a while, but I finally got to see that characters I've been waiting to see. Cavendish's voice is...uh...never mind. It suits his character. Keep it coming! The manga is on hold. I've go crazy when I don't get my shot of One Piece. I start having withdrawal symptoms and that is never a good think. Never. |

| ODA figures every other shonen manga has a tournement arc, why not one piece? |
  |
| I can't wait to see Luffy ergg I mean Lucy kick some ass :P !!! |
 |
| Cavendish made me laugh. Or rather, the natural interaction between him and LuCy next week is going to make me laugh. Again. Also, am I the only one who thinks most of the fighters look like ass now that they're animated? |

| Hilarious episode, so many funny moments. |

Also Bellamy is back, and that's not even a bump on a log compared to who shows up in this thing. Good things are coming. |

So it's Zura's voice. XD WolfWood37 said: That fits, the first thing I thought was, oh shit its Gaara!! It is also Gaara's voice? Wow. I really love Lucy's "Yoroshiku" after he took down the fodder, that was classic XD |

| you would think how popular this is viewed and bought in japan they would spend more on it... why are people crying about pacing? id rather it go slow then catch up to manga |
| Fairy Tail fanservice got nothing on this. JK, it has better animation. Anyway, the set-up for this tournament seems quite bland. Luffy enters, generic-looking contestants practicing, eyeing luffy down as the weakling until he surprised them. Are they trying? Ironically, as slow as the pacing is, the set-up itself is really rushed in content. I swear Dagma looks like Eggman from Sonic the Hedgehog. Is that... Bellamy? Another troll come-back-from-the-dead? Well it doesn't change much, after all, with these characters before, death was already cheapened. It's just bad taste to start what I presume is a deadly tournament in such manner. A very disappointing episode. |

Polydorak said: he slow pacing, I can stand it since its better to go slow than have fillers, but the quality dropping from fishman island arc and forth is plain sad and depressing :(. I would rather have a full year of filler, if that meant we wouldn't have another episode of Slow Piece, nor this mediocre animation. |
| Awesome! the tension is building up! I can't wait for next ep! |
| LOL I can't believe I was right when I said Cavendish would be voiced by Ishida Akira a few weeks ago. And now I DEFINITELY want him in the crew! :D |

| There's not one scene in this episode that was more epic than it was in the manga :( Great episode concerning content, but in all honesty... that's more Oda's work i'm praising than the handling. I mean... the scene with Luffy and Spartan should have been the climax of the episode.... The anime staff is changing the climax's of each episode and it's just lessening the impact of those scenes :( Also the thing with Cabbage.... that shouldn't have been where the cliffhanger was left off.... :( Great content, thanks Oda. Bad execution, thanks Toei On a side note, I actually didn't notice anything wrong with the animation. I love the colors and animation. Pacing could be better, but no use complaining about it. The only thing I didn't like, was the cut off decisions. Spartan fight should have been the climax, like it was in the manga. Same thing happened with Fujitora's black hole. >.> |
| Why 90% of One Piece's villains have to look/sound retarded is beyond me |
| Yeah they changed the cliffhanger. But since it's an anime, I bet most people were wondering who would voice Cavendish or how he would sound like. So I think ending there was just perfect. |
| “Right is right even if no one is doing it; wrong is wrong even if everyone is doing it.” ― Saint Augustine |
| That is a moot point. Last episode was supposed to end with the middle of this episode. So, by default, we should have heard his voice this episode regardless. If anything, we were supposed to get his entire scene w/ Luffy this episode. Just to clarify, everyone very badly wanted the series to have more than 1 chapter = 1 episode, but to me, the 1 chapter = 1 episode works magnificently when concerning the climax and meaning of each episode. Sure, pacing can be irritating, but I've always appreciated that rule. Now that they're adapting less, or doing .5 + .5 instead, it's ruined the climax and intention of each episode. There's no focus or central meaning behind each episode anymore. It's irritating! Well whatever, what's done is done. At least everything else is good. :3 >.< |
| Yeah, I get your point, true. Making it .5 + .5 instead of 1 whole chapter is not cool since it changes the intention of the original work. |

Oda's chapters has amazing cliffhangers, and now they changed them with the 0.5chapter per episode and the cliffhanger Sucks anyone knows the name of the classic soundtrack starting from 13:00? |

A very disappointing episode. don't make such rush judgements of the tournament.. the chapter actually ended with the winner of block A which should've been a Huge surprise, instead they decided to animate only half a chapter, which sucks and doesn't make you exciting for what's coming up next! |
| Ive decided to put One Piece on hold for 4 months because this looks like a promising arc and it will be better to marathon :) Good episode! Badass Lucyy! Looks like i wont be watching this for a while |
 |
| This episode was honestly a piece of shit I'm so sick of Toei turning this amazing show into garbage I'm so upset.. animation was a joke and the one chapter per episode thing still isn't working out... so tired of this show getting a cut budget and the first five minutes being opening sequence and recap... getting so old, my favorite show is going to hell...... boring |
GaaraSama83 said: Exactly, Oda works sooo hard day and night and this is the crap that represents it. Honestly sad and this series deserves betterCalumz said: you would think how popular this is viewed and bought in japan they would spend more on it... why are people crying about pacing? id rather it go slow then catch up to manga Cause it would be better to pause it for a year and make real One Piece again instead of this insult and abuse of Oda's work. This doesn't "feel" like OP anymore. |
| It's been one chapter = one episode for more than half of the series. This policy isn't that bad. That being said, these episodes that have recently aired do NOT follow this policy. Instead we've had 3 chapters adapted to 4-5 episodes. This most recent episode, 633, was .5 a chapter and .5 another chapter (give or take a bit of course). Adapting 1 chapter is fine, because the cliffhangers are kept. The way it is NOW, is just ridiculous. I get that Oda works hard, and that the series deserves more, but you guys are making the anime seem worse than it really is. Animation is pretty good imo. Of course, this is coming from a person who thought the Fishman Island animation was fine, until she saw pictures of Nami with disfigured facial features >.>. I haven't seen any of such for this arc so i'm assuming it's not that bad. I think the best thing for Toei is to keep doing what its doing, and a few years after the series officially ends, remake the show/DVDs (Cut doesn't need revoicing etc.) and make it with correct pacing and whatnot. This way Toei would make double the big bucks, keep the show relevant, and MAKE THE FANS HAPPY. Win for all. Problem is the time lag :/ I'm thinking of starting to watch One Pace. Only problem with that I have is downloading. I'm not a fan of downloads.... but for everyone who's fine with them, I've only heard good things about One Pace. So check it out. |
| So so episode... e_e' |
| Problem with the animation, at least for me, lies in the Sanji and Violet scene. The part where Violet was pulling Sanji who was fluttering in the air, dat animation >.> Not sure if I did look at that correctly, but the animation was pretty bad there. The art was also bad, the other contestants look like shit, especially DCJ, or the King. The prince looks hawt though lol. |

| Ok this pacing is seriously gonna make me drop One Piece. Again! And FFS the ONLY thing I want is for Luffy to be serious about this ONE issue that pertains to his goddamned BROTHER. But no. Its all just a game like when he left his home village. Wheres that red-hot anger that came up every time Hordy Jones said ANYTHING that could be linked to Ace's death!?! |

| Did anything of significance happen in this episode? More of Sanji like a dumb again. More introducing scenes of the fighting arena. More scenes of Luffy preparing for battle... UGH the pacing is killing me. At least Cavendish got introduced, so that counts for something. :P |
