One Piece Episode 679 Discussion

Meh, this one was rather slow, do we really need a flash back every episode now? Also I swear if they show those stupid animals rampaging around one more time...

As to DF being alive...yeah, no surprises there. At least Sabo and Koala both seem to be pretty interesting *new* characters. The latter already being more interesting then 90% of the females in this show lmao.

Epicly slow pace, 8 manga pages

Maybe eventually they'll slow the pace down to 3 episodes per 1 chapter, 2 episodes per 1 chapter is starting to feel so rushed.

Also 5/5 for the content but the episode was so dragged and nothing much really happened so 3/5.

to be fair, it's on average a chapter an episode. last episode went over a chapters worth of content and this one went a little less. this was to end last episode with sabo getting the fruit and using hiken as opposed to destroying the arena with his dragon breath move.

it's just a change in how they wanted to end the episode - did it feel better to see sabo use hiken at the end of last ep, or would it have felt better to have this ep originally start with him getting the fruit?
they're just changing things like that.
Even if they had kept it straight ripped off the manga it would not have felt much different as this episode ended in the same place as the manga.

i'm not saying i disagree that not a whole lot happened this episode but the pace is not getting any slower than it has been.



bartolomeo fanboying will always make me smile
robin looks way better than she did in fishman island arc but koala is one of the best proportioned looking important female so far since time skip.

too bad kyros didnt feel like decapitating anyone else besides mingo. buffalo got it pretty brutal neck snaps never guarentee anything in one piece.

next ep looks hype

Corontam said:
Good episode.

I wonder what this "birdcage" plan is?

Core1019 said:
Some decent content this episode, although it's only half a chapter. Seeing Buffalo get his neck snapped was satisfying, just a shame it didn't kill him.

Is it next episode or the one after where things get really slow? I wish they'd blitz through those chapters because I don't want to watch 3-4 episodes of people running around aimlessly, but this is Toei - no doubt they'l drag it out to 5 or 6 episodes -.-

Yeah, can someone remind me how the fuck Ace and Luffy did not know Sabo was alive if he was so damn famous? Luffy, fine. I can understand, but Ace?

tr1ckst3r said:

Maybe Sabo got all famous after the Marineford event?
or maybe people recognize him just as a Revolutionary Commander without knowing his name.

yhunata said:


Possible, but considering how long he's been in the Army, I doubt he gained his fame during those two years. And they quite clearly referred to him as Sabo in this episode.

Bartolomeo never fails to make me laugh :)

So hyped for next episode. BIRD CAGE!!!

LunyRed said:
C'mon! We already know Sabo's identity. It even said so in the episode title! What we've all been waiting for is to see his eyes entire face! Finally... -.- Ah, memories of Sabo's and Luffy's childhood along with Ace.... ;_;

That's not Doflamingo! That's Doflaemon! xD

Of course Doflamingo's alive. Now he reveals the "birdcage" plan. All the anti-Doflamingo forces are in for a real nightmare....

Luffy will fight Doflamingo one-on-one next episode! Can't wait for that!!!

Why are you assuming that Ace didn't know about Sabo being alive? Because there is nothing about that.

Also note that Sabo is not an unique name that only one person has, and Sabo was supposed to turn into a pirate not a revolutionary.
Do you believe that a person that you think is dead for more than a decade is alive because you hear that some guy that got famous in a organization has his name? Of course not.

geearf said:
Where do you guys see Sabo being famous?
The only guy that recognized him was Diamente no?

If he was any sort of famous wouldn't Bartholomeo know about him? but he didn't.

yhunata said:

Doflamingo's mooks recognised him.

yhunata said:

Also, barely anyone knows Sabo's connection to Luffy and Ace, so even if Bartolomeo knew, why exactly would he give a shit?

geearf said:
Is his face too?

geearf said:
Sure.
But you're forgetting who Luffy's father is.
If Sabo is Luffy's father number 1 man, you'd expect Luffy's number 1 fan to have some knowledge of it, if Sabo's face was any famous.

yhunata said:


Their "brother" died, no body found and suddenly, a guy with the same name starts becoming famous. I'd say he would've at least looked. Or are you saying that Ace was that heartless that he just completely forgot about Sabo or shut him out?

yhunata said:


Well, they have to recognise him somehow and I'm more inclined to put my money on his face rather than his hat and pipe.



Perhaps, but then it kinda contradicts with how Doflamingo's men know him. Then again, if he's Dragon's right-hand, it makes little to no sense if he's not famous at all, i.e. Bartolomeo not knowing him prior to Luffy likely explaining Sabo to him. Maybe Oda just didn't think it through properly.
