I don't know. Last week was pretty bad. You literally didn't even need to watch it because all the main points were covered in this one's opening summary. Today's wasn't great either, especially with all the padding. If next week's episode does a summary that nullifies the existence of this episode, then it will definitely be up there for worst of the arc.

But at least it felt like something was happening, here we mainly just got a dragged out Sumo fight where the "5th Yonkou" was nerfed.

AHAHAHAHAHAH THE PACING IS ACTUALLY GARBAGE, THEY STRETCHED HALF A CHAPTER INTO AN EPISODE
The sumo fight took about 2 pages in the manga, and they managed to stretch that to 10 minutes not including Opening and Recap.

I'll just start watching recaps only (since pretty much everything is summarized there) and will only watch full episodes when something big happens

I guess Luffy is a yokozuna now. I just love it when Luffy astonishes the hell out of everybody watching him!

Will be looking forward to Holdem's ass kicked, that freak will deserve everything coming to him.

The animation was great, though the pace was slow as usual. What I really loved is the final hit by Luffy. It didn't take too much time before the hit made him fly, though it could have been better nevertheless is was better than climax in the Luffy vs. Doflamingo fight. Overall the sumo fight was good. Tama was very cute when her cheek was being pulled with the kelp. Good ep. :)

I get why people say this is the worst episode & shit pacing. I don't disagree with that but it's gonna be like that for a while since this arc hasn't finished yet and this is pretty much going to be the same thing with Dressrosa when that arc lasted like 2 years.

I was told about a site called One Pace. I might look into it. Apparently, much like another site did with the entire Naruto series, they're editing One Piece to be more DB Kai-like and get rid of all the filler and padding. I can't help but wonder how many episodes will be cut out completely or reduced to 5 minutes.

I enjoyed it, because it is still One Piece, but.. 9 pages... They adapted 9 pages. They really should have given us a huuuge filler arc before wano, even if it's been hyped for a long time now.

Not even close to that. Dressrosa entire arc was dragged out, there was alot of new character introductions and individual stories that spanned nearly the entire arc before some of the climax battles finally elevated the story. Where as wano is much much smaller. Think about half of WCI is all it will take to establish most characters and world setting, before the story reaches a new phase.

Though i will say this was by far the worst episode of the wano arc, although it was also the worst chapter in the manga. It was the one solitary moment where fans actually though it held no relevance to the plot and instead was used as some sort of like side dish instead. Oda just wanted to put some wrestling stuff in the wano arc, he could have incorporated a little bit better imo though. In any case, things are about to heat up very soon so just be patient.

The studio needs to take breaks after every act intermission and focus on the grand fleet side stories in my opinion. There has been so much of those that have not even been animated yet. A perfect way to keep the anime further apart from the manga.

Or go back and do some of the original cover stories.

I would love to see the Gedatsu becomes the boss of the blue ocean cover story done as 2-3 episodes.

Staff for other series are also creative with the anime original stuff and this is the adaptation of the best selling manga of all time, yet we get this xD it was a lot better in the past with addditonal Davy Back Fight games or some slice of life episodes.

As expected they wasted a whole episode on that stupid sumo fight, the yokozuna fallling exactly on the house where Tama is was so dumb... Pacing is back to absolute shit levels again, who would've thought -_-

Compared to the hype it initially created, Wano has been super disappointing so far. Judging from the preview, the next episode probably won't be any better. It's sad because the manga has been absolutely great.

I'd rather see occasional anime breaks or some fillers here and there like in Arabasta instead of this shitty pacing. Wano is a strong candidate for being the arc with the worst pacing. Dressrosa might be dethroned. I mean, it has almost been 3 months since the arc started but nothing happened so far!

I agree this episode was pretty dragged and nothing really happened. We all know what would have happened if Luffy got a little bit serious against Yokozuna. But it's Luffy, all he wants is to have fun.

At least Yokozunas flight right into Holdems face was funny to see + now Luffy and Zoro definitely have the attention of everyone.

Besides from that there's nothing more to say.

The present Toei is a worse company they drag some unnecessary fights
and make Luffy look weak that's a big disgrace to the Toei company

Remember
Luffy vs Caesar ? they made the final fight took forever for Luffy to beat him in Manga Caesar was taken out instantly by Luffy's Grizzly Magnum

It basically reduces the watchtime by around 55%.I started with normal OP till the fishman island arc and switched right after since the pacing got too much for me. Enjoyed it a lot more after that but now that I've caught up you have no choice since you need to wait like a few weeks after it was aired initially for the newer eps. Works if you're patient though.

I believe it. After finding a site with all the episodes listed by standard, filler, and padded, I was shocked by how many episodes weren't actually an episode. I've skipped something like 200 episodes now, and I don't plan on going back to seeing them. I might just have to wait a few weeks as well. Thankfully I'm all caught up on the manga anyhow, so I'm not actually missing anything. I just wanted to see certain scenes animated.

The pacing is an unfortunate necessary I have grown to accept, but is there really any excuse for the lazy reuse of animation? They could drag out the fight and make it look good..
