| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Bellamy is terrified of Doflamingo. Those moments with Luffy and Cavendish were funny. |
 |
| Nice to see the arena fighters helping out Luffy instead of just doing a free for all. We get to see Kanjuro next week, that will be great ^__^ |
 |
| It was surprisingly awesome seeing the Colosseum fighters working together. |
 |
| Well Kanjuro seems interesting. But all in all, I just want to see Sabo lol. Man Doflamingo seriously scared Bellamy though. I don't even know what is going in Doffy's head |
| Nothing happened in this episode. |
| We finally get to see Kanjuro next episode... I wonder what kind of sorcery he uses lol. |
| Now the coloseum fighters made some sense, this will be fun to watch. |
 |
| "The bull's back had more space" - I love Law xD |
best line in the episode |
 |
| Finally the annoying criminal army becoming useful somehow, I just don't wanna see their fights, totally not interested in that. And I also don't understand Belami; after everything that happened he is still asking Mingo willing to give him an extra chance if he said some another stupid lie?! Just start using your brain and stop trying to make him your commander already :/ Things are moving forward finally, tonatas have reached the SAD industry, luffy is avoiding all these secondary evil guys heading straight to Mingo. Still disappointed a bit since there is no Sabo, Fugitora or zoro :( JOAOAA said: best line in the episode Loving the fact that Law's thoughts are becoming as crazy as luffy's team XD You are getting there Law, soon you'll totally be real part of Luffy's crew (behaviour-wise not actually a crew member) |
| My Anime List | |
| "My dear horse can only run beautifully with two people or less." Funny episode, I really liked Kyros' sudden appearance, wasn't expecting that. Neat to see the coliseum army fighting the executives. There are other fights I'm more interested in but I still found these good. |
| Not bad, hard to make an episode interesting with this pacing but I found some enjoyment from it, hope to see the scenes with Doflamingo to be well executed to lead up nicely to the fight. Also, Dellinger and Mach Vise are so retarded. |
Suleiman...please stop Did Kyros really say he wanted to kill Diamante or was it a mistranlation? I know the guy is responsible for the death of his wife but i remember Kyros never wanted to kill a single soul because of what happen in his past. |
 |
| BOOOOOO RIIIINNNGGG , tooooo damn sloooow pacing. Suleiman getting one hit ko-ed , rest of the guys also failing pretty hard vs the executives... Only fun part of the episode was the cavendish comedy with kyros all of a sudden also sitting on the horse's back :p |
| Meh, 3/10, atleast Cavendish was good. J053PH said: Nothing happened in this episode. |
 |
| The episode felt slow but we are slowly getting there. Waiting patiently to see Doflamingo getting owned. |

| Not much this episode. Lold at Law. |
 |
| Lao G is a grandpa and he likes the letter g. Therefore he's gg. Get it? GG! And now those ruthless pirates are working together to achieve a common goal and that's because of Luffy and the Strawhats. Wherever they go they bring peace and spread friendship. :) |
 |
| Hm...another slow-paced episode. |
 |
| Lol at Cavendish and Law. Also Kyros randomly appearing on screen with serious face was funny. |
| Looks like this Saga is gonna last as long if not longer than the Summit War Saga, this episode was somewhat better than recent ones but seriously is this gonna come to an end at all? No Zoro screen-time in this ep *sad face* and I've been told that Nami and company haven't even been seen in the manga yet so if that's true *another sad face* |

Wherever they go they bring peace and spread friendship. :) / That's the best part of the episode.. I wonder if kanjuro could be Doflamingo's brother, this thing of "sorcery" and all.. Who knows? Until that episode he "was" a samurai and now he can do sorcery, nothing is impossible. Not to disappoint, but remember that Kinemon called his devil fruit power as "strange sorcery"! |

I know the guy is responsible for the death of his wife but i remember Kyros never wanted to kill a single soul because of what happen in his past. Since when did Kyros said he did wanted to kill anybody? By the contrary, he considers himself dirty, because he is already a killer! Did you forgot Doflamingo beheading? The intent was obviously killing! |
| Delinger is kinda my favorite executive, up there with baby 5. His voice actor is just awesome, and his fight was really nice. I liked that part and the Cavendish stuff + the other filler for the fighters. but yeah one of the better OP eps |
 |
| Slow-paced kind of boring episode, funny Cavendish though |

| ^even though One piece seems to be in "drag" mode. It still entertaining for me. |
 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. |
TempestLili said: Is it just me or is the arc dragging more than they usual? Seriously, this one is taking too long. Note that a story or section of a story being long doesn't mean it is dragging. Most people seem to wrongly think that. Dragging is, making something long by filling it with boring and dull things! Filling something with interesting and full of live stuff isn't dragging. Is not about if something could be shorter, but about if things being showed are interesting and/or captivating. Here is an Oda comment related to this: "I don't care whatever readers complain in the middle stage of a story because I am confident of highlight scenes being interesting." Manga Omo! (2002) I've been noting that watchers/readers take into account the dead-time(time spent waiting for another chapter/episode) and the quantity they get in the active-time(time reading/watching the manga/anime). Meaning if a watcher watch an arc in a weekly schedule with the occasional breaks in the middle, he will think the arc is super dragged out. If the same watcher watch the same arc, but all in one go, the idea of dragging will not even pop up in his mind a single time. With this it seems more than the content being boring and/or dull, the fact that the watcher doesn't get what he wants(the entire arc experience) is what the dragged out means. In that case the problem has more to do with release schedule than with the content. The solution is also simple! Finding a good schedule to watch the arc. A possible good one is to wait for the entirety of an arc to be completed and watch it all in one go. Let's take this episode as an example. The episode has these scenes: 1- Bellamy talking with Doflamingo about his actions. 2- Coliseum fighters fighting against Doflamingo family executives. 3- Country Civilians damage controlling, or at least trying to, the situation. 4- Kinemon looking for Kanjuro. 5- The Tontattas that work in the factory as slaves, getting aware and taking actions about the deception. 6- Luffy and Kyros getting Cavendish help. 7- Coliseum fighters getting together and fighting as a team. Due to the anime only adapting 1 chapter per episode they add in the scenes what I like to call "Ambiance moments", moments where the focus is immersing the watcher into the feeling/mood of the scene. As an example, in this episode, the moment right after Doflamingo says that he could be anything as long as he could destroy the world. Looking at each scene and to the ambiance moments in them. What feels boring, dull to you? As for me, I find everything really interesting, and I'm even accustomed to the ambiance moments to a point where most of them I find it even adds to my enjoyment of the episode. |
| It's dragging more than usual, becasue 1 chapter per episode pacing doesn't exist anymore. Now it's 0.7 per episode on average. |
 |
| Dat ending everyone agree on the same thing finally. |
 |
| Best scenes were the commanders fighting, everything else was kinda meh though. |
| Lmao ... suddenly Kyros is on the horse aswell :D Was nice seeing the bunch of idiots work together to help Luffy. |
 |
| The Don Quixote Family executives finally show their stuff especially Dellinger. Yes Dagama practice your damn strategic skills for once. |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| Is dellinger gay or smth? |
 |
| Dellinger needs to meet Ivankov |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Hanatarou is seriously 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000x cuter than Dellinger >.> Oh cool. The colosseum dudes are finally working together. It'd be awesome if they'd be the start of Luffy's affiliated crewmates like Whitebeard's army of diff pirate groups :D |
| I wish it wasn't so corny with trying to make these guys (the competitors) likable when the majority of them were complete ass holes and even murdered innocent people if I remember right. |
 |
| Hilarious with Cavendish invites to Luffy to rider with him and the next sequence is riding too the "little soldier"!!! lol |
| Bellamy has finally confronted Doflamingo and what we got was interesting. Doflamingo seems to separate himself from Bellamy. Bellamy wants to be a pirate but Doflamingo wants to destroy the world. If that’s enough of a difference to make manipulating and killing Bellamy acceptable despite him sharing the same dedication and love of Doffy that his family does, then I suppose we can assume everyone in the Don Quixote family wants to destroy the world. This can also be seen with Law's joining. I feel awful for Bellamy. For Doflamingo, it is clear he does not care for those outside of his family’s executives with few exceptions. However, Bellamy is so close to him that it does feel like betrayal. It looked as though he was going to be the one to kill Bellamy as well. It's fascinating how at one point I saw Bellamy as an asshole with one narrative purpose, to get his butt kicked by Luffy. Yet now with how he feels himself as stagnant, as if he didn’t grow at all over these years, with how he’s been tossed away by his childhood hero despite his childish admiration and loyalty, with how he came to respect Luffy and refused to kill him, Bellamy has become one of the most sympathetic characters in Dressrosa. Good stuff Oda. I was bored of the whole “I’m going to be the one to kill Doflamingo, not you!!” gag that has been ongoing. This episode almost made it all worth it. The amount of chaos built up between the cast as they fought with arrogance, with no semblance of teamwork or unity, was proven not to be an ego issue but just that, childish arrogance. When they recognized that they needed to work together, they did, and they did so to help Luffy. In a single moment after some horrible beatings like Suleiman being super cool but still being stabbed or Machvise grinding Boo into the ground, they all put aside their differences, and even saved each other like with Ideo and Blue Gilly. It made for a somewhat cathartic and beautiful moment. The end with Cavendish and Kyros was especially wonderful. Cavendish may have shown yet again that through his narcissism, he can be a tsundere who acts on gratitude and respect for others, even if it hinders his chance for attention. Him putting aside his pride, only to yell at Luffy for not being humble and taking the ride for granted was hysterical, especially because Cavendish isn’t the most humble person either. Kyros snuck on and started to yell at Luffy for putting Rebecca in danger making for some endearing fatherly love and Cavendish was ignored while screaming at them, it was hilarious and sweet all around. It looks like Cavendish will be making it far in this journey and thus he will be bringing Hakuba to Doflamingo’s front door. This last moment also established the very not-Fishman Island although completely understandable take of revenge Kyros stated, that he needs to kill Diamante with his own hands. Yet, this is somewhat odd as someone else in the thread mentioned, a huge part of Kyros’ past is learning to deal with the murder he committed out of revenge, recall that he wore gloves when touching Rebecca since he had ‘tainted’ hands, but I guess history can repeat itself. And this should be good because we all know Law and Luffy have to face Doflamingo so it still gives Kyros a serious chance for some spotlight. The Tontatta signaled to each other from outside of the factory that they were being tricked and the single phrase “fight!” This made for another cathartic moment of everything coming together, the enslaved Tontatta are fighting back and will be opening the door from the inside which makes the lack of a key no problem at all. I do have to question why the heck the slavers felt the need to whip people that would do what they said anyways, it feels excessively cruel. We got another horrifying scene of a man nearing murdering his family before being tied up by his fellow people which denoted the hope they have during this massacre. Unlike last time, they know what is happening and they can counteract it. They can stop each other. Horrible things have still happened, those men tied up were still crying over the heinous things they were forced to do, but the people are strong. One even tanked a gunshot to the shoulder to prevent that man from shooting his family. Yet, this also means they are trying to capture the wanted people as soon as they can which means they are heading for Riku and Usopp in hordes. Lastly and maybe least, I love Kin’emon so much. We saw him for like a minute this episode and I got so excited. He’s one of my favorite recent characters and he brings me so much joy. It appears he found a hiding and snoring Kanjuro at the end which means we may get some crazy samurai action coming up soon. The more of these Wano warriors the better!!! |
| If the townspeople would just focus on restraining the controlled people of Dressrosa like how the Marines should have been doing instead of going after bounties and end up as cannon fodder, that'd be nice. It's time to seize the means of production, little people! It's rather amusing to see the Colosseum's fighters suddenly get their acts together just so they can show off to Luffy. I'd say that they'd be worthy officers for God Ussop's Grand Fleet lmao |
 |
| "The bull's back had more space" So, you noticed? Law. |
 |
| Colosseum's fighters goooo buttobasu Kanjura next ep :D |
