| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Wow everyone's down in the arena. Can't wait to see who got up in the end. |
 |
| WEEHT TEH **** who did this at the end??? o.O |
 |
| 666 next week.. |
| really? wow that sucked how it's such a cliff hanger... well, gotta wait for next week, unless it was already foreshadowed and we can figure it out |
 |
| Really good episode! At the beginning when they showed another fight with Rebecca, I just thought: UGH GET IT OVER WITH DAMN IT, but surprisingly I liked the fight. That cliffhanger man, rlllllllllllly want to know what happened with that Side Note: Next episode is 666 :O |
 |
| I really liked the bit with the toy soldier and dat ending!!! |
 |
| Lol what, everyone collapsed all of a sudden in arena? I wonder who knocked them out. |
 |
| Emperor's haki maybe? |
| those tontatta people are like 10x smaller but 10x stronger than a normal human. wth happened in the arena? maybe Rebecca unconsciously used a conqueror's haki or something? but those dudes are powerful enough to withstand that.. |
 |
| I was thinking of something along the lines of Emperor's haki as well. So is that Rebecca standing up at the end? o.o |
 |
| For anime only watchers, I don't think you're going to guess what happened until you see it. |
 |
| I like that they left it on a total cliffhanger. I was worried they'd show something to spoil the D block ending. |
| Can't wait to see Usopp operation plus Trebol in action :) Now it's the fun part |
| Dat jerk, standing behind and grinning like and idiot. |

Sapphire_ said: what manga chapter is this episode ?, i think from now on i'll read the manga around chapter 735 |
| Gonna throw a guess out there, maybe Rebecca can use Haki... that's just what I was thinking when Sabo said, "I've heard about it". |
 |
| As other have stated, you aren't going to guess until you see it (or spoil yourself). Now, was the bulk of the fight at the beginning with Agilia etc filler? I don't recall reading that in the manga, but it has been a while. |
| 666 preview. It spoils the end of the block be warned. Sapphire_ said: what manga chapter is this episode ?, i think from now on i'll read the manga 733. Why bother now? |
| At last D block is almost over. They really dragged it out |
 |
| Robin's voice actress must had been happy since she had a little "break" this week because she had zero lines in this episode lmao |
 |
| How many episodes has Rebecca been fighting? Lol |
 |

Why bother now? why not? maybe 1 episode a week isn't enough for his OP fix. maybe he doesn't wanna feel like he is out of the loop. there are several reason why he might want to switch to the manga. although in my opinion why not do both. |
| Rebecca's going to probably stand up, Cliffhanger! |
 |
| "Neko punch!" It makes sometime since I've last heard that xD Since Non Non Biyori ?=) |

I am wondering because people normally switch when it's boring or too slow, but right now it's pretty exciting. If he doesn't want to feel out of the loop I'd understand, but you know when caught up to the manga you have 1 chapter a week anyway. Oda is on a break every 4 weeks, so even less in fact. (one of the reasons the anime's pacing is so slow) Both? Although the manga is better, the anime is much less exciting when you know what happened. |

Although the manga is better, the anime is much less exciting when you know what happened. i disagree...i read the manga, and watch the anime. i still enjoy the anime alot. its fun seeing how things get animated. also alot of times i forget some details, and the anime serves as a good reminder rather then rereading the manga. I guess if you have an impeccable memory, then i could understand. anyways just saying in my personal experience reading the manga doesn't make watching the anime less enjoyable. Also sometimes you miss things the first time around. same with movies, or tv shows. i mean haven't you ever watched a movie, then watch it a second time, and pick up on something you didn't notice the first time you watched it. Now Naruto is a different story. once is one time too many, which is why i only read the manga. but i guess it comes down to personal preference. |
| damn cliffhanger. gaaaarhhh! |
| Decent enough episode, as someone who personally dislikes Rebecca I thought there was too much of her, but I'm sure the episode was fine to everyone else. Nothing particularly exciting, except for the final cliffhanger. |
 |
| I hope it's Rebecca who stands up... |
PrimeX said: wth happened in the arena? maybe Rebecca unconsciously used a conqueror's haki or something? but those dudes are powerful enough to withstand that.. That was what I was thinking aswell, but the silhouette that stood up didnt look like Recbecca's. |
 |
| I'm getting more excited to see how things end up, especially with flamingo guy so sure of himself. |
 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. |
| everyone's down . damn need some explanations |
 |
| First half was pretty bad, the only thing happened was the defeat of ths fat lady. Second half the toy soldier attacked some fodder and the mysterious fight in the end which wasn't shown. |
| FINALLY! D block is ending. I'm curious as to what the hell happened and who won, i assumed it was going to be Rebecca this entire time but now I'm unsure. It was pretty short but i really liked the bit with the soldier guy,not sure why but it was the best part of the episode if you ask me. |
| The raid begins. |
| "Let Justice Be Done!" My Theme Fight again, fight again for justice! |
| Cabbage down, cabbage down! |
 |
Avenger-senpai said: Cabbage down, cabbage down! LOL So what happened in the Coliseum? Did she have haki or something? |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| damn what happened? |
 |
| Getting interdasting |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Pretty sure they're gonna do a PLOT TWIST: IT'S REBECCA DUN DUN DUUUNNNNN! But it could be Cavendish's haki, if he knows how. |
| The mission is starting, and the arena appears a new "great" enemy in Blok D!!!!! :/ |
| I gave some more thought to the revolutionaries and how Dragon thought Celestial Dragons and the noble’s behavior was so distasteful. Dressrosa became a country built on slavery and suffering, further it ignites wars. It seems the fishman and Koala were looking into these secrets and so far it doesn’t appear that Doflamingo is aware of them. Therefore, as soon as the evidence is absolute when it comes to what Doflamingo is doing, we may get a strong revolutionary attack. It would seem Sabo is also here for this along with his personal mission of inheriting Ace’s power. Further, I had been going along with this reading that Rebecca had to make it far into the tournament, at least beyond the qualifying rounds. She is central to the king Riku and thus the soldier plot lines. Yet, we have Sabo here and he has an even greater plot relevance than Rebecca when it comes to getting the fruit. Beyond that, she doesn’t need to be the primary actor against Doflamingo. The soldier plans to turn all of the toys back and that means former soldiers and contestants will want revenge, and y’know the Tontatta and former soldier guards are here. Luffy has Chinjao and Bartolomeo along with their groups behind him. And, Sabo is here presumably on revolutionary duty. Rebecca’s role will presumably stay somewhat major but it no longer has to be winning or almost winning in this colosseum. With that in mind, I could imagine that she lost in the mystery of what occured at the end and that makes the colosseum a little interesting again despite the title of the episode lowering my expectations. There is now a question of how far she will make it and what will actually happen, it’s not obviously determined. Meanwhile, as the lads approach the palace, Zoro temporarily gets lost despite the straight line directions, stumbles onto some kids, pushes one down and becomes an enemy of the island, and then meets back up with Luffy and Kin’emon like nothing happened. Oh, Zoro. You have absolutely been comic relief this arc outside of your interactions with Fujitora, be it stumbling into Wicka and chasing her, teaming up with her and getting lost, being pissed about not being invited to the colosseum, and now this, but you have always been a blast. The factory plot line has progressed further. Franky has amply distracted everyone by pulling them into the elevator and Soldier-san with some Tontatta allies snuck onto it. The soldier is doing as he implied, he is planning to sacrifice himself for his daughter and his country by assassinating Doflamingo. He even told the Tontatta to stay back while he fought for control of the elevator, he is aware that his body is rusting and coming to an end, so why put others in danger? The sad part is, his daughter wants to be with him more than anything, he doesn’t need to sacrifice himself like that, he could get his old body back. What I found interesting about this scene was that we got another look into haki. Soldier didn’t describe it as such but Luffy has mentioned Rebecca’s observational haki, and the soldier described it as “learning to use her human instincts”. Haki is still a mysterious thing, people can train it, people are generally good at one kind over another, but how it works isn’t so well understood. I suppose we could see it as just that, instinct that can be harnessed, and in that lens it makes sense why people like Coby or Luffy tap into it accidentally. Lastly, Usopp has been given the task of taking out Sugar and he’s up to it! Well, he’s up to staying behind everyone else and trying to get through this with the least amount of trouble. That said, if Sugar turns Robin into a toy, or if he simply gets inspired in another way; you know, reminded of his dream, then I could see him having one badass moment coming up. And I love Robin and Usopp’s new outfit, they look so stylish together, and I’m glad out of the Factory and Caesar-hand-in squads that this duo has stuck together! P.S. I was going over everything in my head and remembered that Kanjuro should be in the Toy House and that said, it seems Franky’s necessary ally may be our samurai friend that has been built up so much once set free. |
| Soldier's unrelenting resolve to make a Dressrosa that's safe for his daughter's very touching but he better not end up sacrificing himself before seeing the fruits of his labor. I definitely didn't expect Block D to end up like that. What in the world happened in there? |
