| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Haha everyone gets along with Luffy so well. xD Barb: "In the desert, nothing is inedible." Luffy: "Haha, yeah I even eat off the ground" Barb: "..you'll get a tummy ache." Luff: "I'll be careful." xD |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| That was hillarious. |
 |
| Lol poor Ace he's still lost. |
| Barb "We were going to eat the camel" Luffy "You're kidding! You can eat it!" XD!!!! |
 |
| Seeing those sand boats zip through the desert reminded me of Star Wars, for some reason O.o Ace sure can take care of himself easily. |
| Bitch tried to kill them. >:O And lol @ Ace xD 4/5 |
     |
| that lizard was cool and poor ace he is still lost xD |
 |
| Too rushed and overly dramatic. Bad episode is bad. |
 |
| The episode was a waste until the scene with the girl and Vivi. But, really, it's a terrible idea to introduce a character and try to develop them in one episode. So, I agree with SkyZong. |
| "Yes, I have been deprived of emotion. But not completely. Whoever did it, botched the job." - Geralt of Rivia |
| well rather boring episode, actually felt no drama or something in the story of Rasa. Honestly - I got sick of Vivi apologizing and crying -__- the lizard was great yeah) |
| I think what this episode was trying to establish was a connection with Arabasta for the viewer, that way the fight/struggle to stop the revolution is more important to us. Lol I hope Ace finds his way back to the Straw Hats! |
| "You'll be crushed to death by their dung!" ...that is probably one of the worst ways to die. |

| Loved how Straw Hats were totally cool with eating the camel. I did not, however, like the whole Rasa story. It was thrown at us out of the blue. The drama was quite meh-ish. |

| Here goes some poor writing again. Of course they have to incapacitate Luffy... AGAIN. Although I guess him drinking cactus juice does seem like something he'd do. Making Ace get lost was just stupid and unbelievable. Maybe if a sandstorm separated them or something. Instead, he just looks up and realizes that no one's around him. Come on... really? Also, Vivi and Nami going far ahead of the group was stupid too. They always stay together, plus Vivi should know that the even without those pirates, that desert is dangerous, so why would she leave her bodyguards? I'm not trying to be such a critic as I've enjoyed marathoning this series.... but this ep and the previous one.. seriously -,- The latter half of the ep was fine, even though I'm not on board with the sudden drama at all. |

 |
| good ep |
| Good filler. |
| Nice episode :) I finally saw some anime-only content ^$^ |
 |
| Every one but the girls and zoro wanted to eat the camel And this thing lol |
| Shit it was a filler? no wonder it sucked. |
| Ace getting lost was funny! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| BarBar Sand Pirates, whatta bunch of scrubs |
| “I love heroes, but I don't want to be one. Do you even know what a hero is!? For example, you have some meat. Pirates will feast on the meat, but the hero will distribute it among the people! I want to eat the meat!” - Monkey D. Luffy |
| Ah, it was filler. That explains why it was such a weak episode compared to how good this arc has been so far. Even for a filler it was quite subpar though. Only good thing about it was Ace scaring the shit out of that lizard lol. |
 |
| didn't see this in the manga so it definitely isfiller, also seems like Ace travelling with them was also added in? |
| Luffy admirably charging in to his crew mates tied up and taken hostage only to exclaim he's doing it for water was really funny. What this little desert segment needed was something like Barbossa. The last episode was fun, but it lacked anything memorable, this episode however was just as fun, it kept that feeling of effort and time spent traveling in the desert, but it had something deeper than that. And I adore how Luffy immediately gets along with anyone who has a sense of humour and a good heart. Alike how he immediately became friends with Dorry, in this case he and Barbossa bonded like it was in their nature. Rasa nearly killed Vivi because she wanted some proof to her and her fathers promise of coming back to help her no matter what I presume? A bit extreme... In fact, her crying scene was the first real 'sad' scene in One Piece which didn't have proper build up or any character exploration before hand. I almost want to call it melodramatic, but clearly it wasn't. It was a very tragic story and a confrontation with someone who only wants to be a good leader for her people. Of course it'd be sad, but I wish it had been built up slower, or differently at least; perhaps a brief understanding of who Rasa was before that. Right now as it stands, I felt really odd watching that scene and definitely lacked any feelings of sympathy. Also, note that Luffy saw someone crying and struggling but he didn't step in to help. He recognized that it wasn't his place to speak, wasn't a problem he could fix or relate with, and didn't say a word knowing Vivi would take it. Never change. |
| Those Sand Pirates were a really curious bunch but they're actually pretty good guys after all. Rasa might've put Vivi and Luffy into a dangerous situation to see if fate really did see their lives as valuable but it was nothing they couldn't handle. Her backstory was already sad enough but it looks like the Princess felt sorrow five times more than I actually did. Ace is still stranded but at least he has that lizard for transport. |
 |
| Ace got lost. LOL Those sand pirates are nice. |
 |
immuslim said: Kind of odd that Nami and ViVi were taken prisoner yet they seem fully clothed and untouched by a huge group of pirates. Seems prettttty unbelievable. maybe because it's a cartoon xD |
| im just trying if i post a something in this old thread of old episode of old anime, will i get a reply? |

| Welp the pirates seem pretty friendly lol. Still weird how they can move literal ships on the sand. Rasa has personal enmity against Vivi and the King for not keeping their promise. I feel bad for her. Poor Ace lol. At least he has a pet lizard to accompany him now XD |
 |
| They have this power to get lost /loosing the group all the time that is outer space. Also, is it just me or does Zoro have to steal some new swords in like every arc lol |
 |
| Oh wow if i didn't look it up, i wouldn't know this was a filler. Still enjoyable though. |
 |
| the sand pirates are actually very cool i respect em |
| Hahaha, Luffy's tripping so hard! Sad moment in the oasis, I hope she can forgive Princess Vivi and I hope Ace finds the crew. |
| nope, I didn't get wat the whole rasa's issue was... just some parts of it. but I was in tears during it so it wasn't so bad. 3/5 |
💢   |
| So we meet some new pirates out in the desert and I like the fact that their ship was moving on the sand and it gave me sort of Jabba's sail barge in Return of the Jedi there. The whole Rasta thing? I honestly am in two minds after thinking things through on one hand, yes her backstory forced upon us and she deliberately put Luffy and Vivi in danger just because she didn't Vivi for whatever reason. On the other hand? I feel like it was a way to have Vivi connect with one of the populace of Alabasta but at the same time it does feel very random and out of nowhere now that I think about it. I mean the episode was good, the stuff Ace was amusing but I feel like we should've had more time to develop the backstory for Rasta rather than shove it all in before the end. And yet I still felt bad for her when I was watching the episode, Rasta I mean. Overall I'll say the stuff involving Rasta has left me rather mixed to say the least. It's just strange to me looking at it. A decent episode but a bit weaker compared to what I've seen of this arc so far. |
| Desert land is free always |

| The crew’s support for Chopper is heartwarming, showing their unbreakable bond. |
