----------------------------------------
Law and Luffy's teamwork helped deal a lethal blow to Doflamingo with Law's Gamma Knife. But that ain't enough to keep Doffy down. Just look at the preview. :v

Entire episode felt slow. Even so, this episode had some good animation for the fight scenes.

Finally the Gamma Knife, Was that a new OST that they played during the attack or have they used it before?

So the first 10 minutes was again still way too stretched out with every frikken part of town random town's people freaking out about the birdcage closing in, BUT I am kind of satisfied with the explanation why Law still lives, I mean, if he survived being hit by all those bullets that'd be hard to come back from but yeah shambling away in big ass room, fair enough.
HOWEVER,
what's the deal with Trebol not moving at all during the whole luffy/law combo, I mean sure Doffy thinks he's all-powerful and trebol thinks so too, but still, there's something being called TOO overconfident ^^

Please stop ruining One Piece anime, put some filler instead, like what they do during 2 year timeskip.

These kids lol. When I see comments like this and the pacing I kind of wished the anime picked up the pace so much that it would reach the manga and the anime would have to stop for 1-2 years. Then I'd enjoy the kids' cries about why One Piece stopped. *sigh*

On to the episode nice comeback from Law, I was expecting Doffy to do something when I saw him having his palm to his eyes for so long but I guess that'll be shown next time.

Expected more rage from Luffy in the last ep, but now it makes sense why he didn't totally went nuts. Good Law hasn't died. I think we'll get a filler arc after this one. Seeing how more and more people are complain about the pacing. Although I stopped reading the manga after the time skip this arc really feels dragged and slooow. And I'm getting really curious about the "Luffy using that" stuff people are writing about. I don't want to read the manga... stahp teasing plz! T...T"

There is and will be for a long time a problem with the pacing sadly. I am also a bit disappointed with that but can't do anything for it, just enjoy the good stuff.

The best thing someone can do is wait for a lot of episodes to gather and then watch them all together. That's what a friend of mine does, he waits until Dressrosa arc is over and then he'll watch them all together.

IMO he's doing what everyone that gets impatient with the pacing should do. There's a shitton of anime out there that can keep someone busy for years. People tend to want more and I think having more material to watch at once could fix that..

BTW the pacing at Punk Hazard was the same, they kept on running for so many episodes I lost counting.

I liked it! Law's super special attack seems kind of oddly timed considering the numerous opportunities he's had to use it in this arc (unless I'm misunderstanding something) and it takes a little suspension of disbelief that no one noticed his shambles. Those are nitpicking, though. I'm satisfied, liked the emotional flashbacks, the destruction of Dressrosa and Doflamingo being and evil bastard.

I skipped the preview, didn't want to know what's coming next. Obviously something, this would be incredibly anticlimactic if it brought down Doffy. :D

5 minute recap
5 minute showing people point at shrinking cage*
5 minute growling at Doffy, and keep calling his name**
3 minute action at the end, which was also dragged.***


*It would make sense to leave the cage, it was shown t cut building to about 2-3 meter slices...wouldnt it make more sense to leave before...i dont know, splits hair on a flea's arse?

**Do something about it already. 20 episodes down the line and this is what your vocabulary is reduced.

A few things I don't get:
- Law is missing an arm, but the guy he switched with isn't, wasn't that a big give away? Or did he switch the arm as well? I can't really tell.
- The strings around the island are a devil fruit's power, shouldn't people that mastered Haki be able to deal with it? (ie Zorro could cut them?), why is everyone running away instead of breaking them... so far no devil fruit has ever been shown to be unbreakable. If Fujitora is as strong as we expect him to be, it should feasible for him as well.
- Are the strings around the whole country or just the capital? I thought the Island was the country, but whenever they show us people here and there, it always looks like the capital, so I don't get it.

I'll be honest, I didn't see Law's body switch trick coming at all. I thought they were just gonna have him get up after taking 20 bullets to the face, not like it'd be the first time that's happened. Glad they did it in a somewhat believable manner this time.

As for the rest of the episode, it was OK. Very dragged, with way too many pointless scenes and flashbacks. But that's One piece for you. At least the scene with Law and DF was decent. Too bad his efforts are gonna go to waste.

Now I don't watch previews, because I find them to be pretty spoilery and pointless tbh, especially for something you only have to wait a week for. But it's pretty damn obvious Donflamingo is gonna get up next week and smack Law across the face lol...

One Piece has definitely caught my attention again with everything coming close to an end.
This was an alright episode, shame we have so much footage about people running around town though.

Law's plan worked out for him, already knew he couldnt be dead before though, would've been way to easy.

I really liked the set up. One of the few things that was nicely done.

Also, is no one going to talk about how Law just killed a subordinate using him as a body double? He's racking up his inadvertent kill count.

This is the biggest bullshit I've ever seen in One Piece, maybe in every anime ever. This makes Pell surviving look like the most natural thing ever. I hate Law, he's such a bullshit character, he makes Kirito look balanced.

Ah, he switched bodies. Good to see there was a reasonable explanation instead of just "muh willpower." Though I do find it odd that snot face isn't helping out Flamingo but I guess he still thinks things are under control.

That tension though.
Law really came through at the end there- that was a pretty great plan, even if it did mean sacrificing some random soldier lol
He got his bit in, and it's so satisfying seeing Doffy bleed by Law's hand since he's caused him so much tragedy by taking Cora-san away.

I honestly love the aspect of both Luffy and Law fighting Doffy together because he's just too strong for them individually.
Hopefully, Law can weaken him considerably and then Luffy can deliver a finishing blow!

No way is that tacky bird man down yet though...I mean, he's lay down face-palming for god's sake! Definitely has something shady up his sleeve that's for sure.

I don’t think I mentioned Law’s faith in Luffy last episode so I would like to here. Perhaps the D. striking again did refer to Luffy after all. There was a time I had to question if he was using Luffy as a mere pawn, but the fact that he showed some much faith in Luffy and saw his past endeavors, going so far to save him in Marineford, I’d say there was always more to it than that. Even if Law looks to Luffy’s tactics in disdain as they are opposites in nearly everway, there is respect there. What a strong duo these two are. Also, I find it odd that Toei removes Law flipping people off, be it Kid in Sabaody or Doflamingo last episode, it’s a small thing but to keep in all the violence and remove that aspect of his badassery makes me a little sad.

Although I think the “no one ever dies” curse making it so no one worried that Law was actually dead was slightly detrimental, this ended up with nearly no complaints from me. The only complaint I can make is due to the fact that Oda’s tendency to make us worry when there’s nothing to worry about made it so I didn’t get angry at Doflamingo for his cheeky moments. Then again, the fact I didn’t feel much dread allowed for me to cackle at his words such as mockingly calling Luffy “Mugiwara-ya” or his chilling confidence in building another kingdom, AKA telling Luffy all his work was for nothing. As for Law’s actual plan, it goes to make me consider this the best team fight in One Piece and it strengthens my opinion that Law’s power allows for some of the most creative and satisfying tactics we’ve ever seen. His fake out death was a good one, he created a huge room sacrificing some of his own lifeforce, and body swapped with a decoy that he must have known the location of. His line “sorry about this my decoy friend” makes me think there’s a chance that wasn’t a dead body but Law’s kill count growing. And with that, we got something that surpassed even the shambles red hawk. Telling Luffy the plan, he charged in and at the last second Law swapped with him, burning the insides of Doflamingo with “gamma knife”. Doflamingo was shocked and gushing blood and Luffy joined in before he could fight back with a painful looking kick.

Law is so cool. I love how stone cold and merciless he can be, Monet and this poor body double are some examples, and his tactics are just out of this world. Be it the insanity of fights like his with Smoker, or the genius of putting Caesar’s heart in his own body, the now iconic red hawk, or this stuff. Paired with his intelligence to scope out the premises such as in Punk Hazard when he swapped the sea prism chains, and his guts to mock Doflamingo or Vergo as if he was freaking Zoro, he’s got it all. Perhaps all the suffering he's gone through has made him near impenetrable. Ultimately, he crawled to Doflamingo with one arm and told Luffy to back off, giving a parallel back to when Doffy first shot Law. Back then, Doflamingo said: “Law was originally my subordinate. Responsibility for dealing with him falls to me!” Well, Doflamingo, those words are two sided. As Law put it: “That bastard is my responsibility…!” Too bad it feels like Law may be putting himself in a perfect position for Doffy to get a counter attack.

I was thinking about how Law is a somewhat similar situation to what Nami was during Arlong arc, insofar as both of them dedicated their life to stopping one man and this is their chance. If Law wasn’t part of his own crew it would be a perfect time for him to join the Straw Hats. He’d have a debt to pay to Luffy; unless this is calling it even. And, he’d no longer have a primary goal that ropes him into one particular path. I assume Law is not joining the crew, but having a goal like Nami’s to chart out the world would be the perfect next step for him if we’d follow that formula. That said, making an enemy out of Kaido may rope him into a path of survival until that's done with.

P.S. Trebol is doing nothing, huh? Most would agree the allies of Luffy could be doing more, specifically the Wano samurai who have been relegated to cheerleaders which have the energy to put up a fight and could fly to Luffy’s side, but at least Doffy’s boy Trebol is just as useless. BEHEHEHE!

It definitely sucks to be the poor knocked-out grunt that ended up dying instead of Trafalgar. This was the third time someone ended up getting killed by someone else on the same side while the Surgeon of Death was involved lmao

Doflamingo's insides may have been blended in a pulp then roasted thanks to the Gamma Knife but it looks like he's more pissed off more than anything else.
