Typical 3 minutes of recap, 15 minutes of stalling, and maybe 4 minutes of action. The animation might've looked good for a few minutes, but it still amazes me how Toei can turn a good manga chapter into a subpar episode. They really should've put the anime on hiatus for much longer so that they could adapt more manga content per episode, because this is ridiculous.

That was a nice half-an episode.
I was a fool to believe that Toei wouldn’t stall the fuck out of this.

these few episode made me so glad to be a manga reader.

the scene where luffy held back kizaru and saturn had jarring phasing.

but then gorosei summoning had me in goosebumps.

I'm so confused how they set up a recording in case of Vegapunk's death that includes them just waiting around, unless they actually need the recording in real time to stall for a while to sync up with every Den Den Mushi so they can show a video recording.
Anyway, just felt like an entire episode of stalling showing of the reactions around the world.

At least the final 4/5 minutes actually had something significant going on.

@PrOxAnto

Vegapunks want as many people as possible to hear the live message, because WG will do everything in their power to censor it afterwards. With how the world of OP is segmented into islands, if people on an island don't hear the broadcast, they will most likely never get the chance to hear is again, or if they do, they will hear a version spun by the WG. It's all to avoid manipulation of information, which is inevetible as long as WG does not want people to hear it.

It's been a while since I've seen the slick animation style. What's also funny is that they also had the super smooth but undetailed animation as well, so they were basically battling each other for who was the better style. Personally I'm a slick guy. Also we might potentially be cooked if ALL the elders arrive to Egghead.

As a matter of pace, the episode sucked, but holly shit, it ended with the five elders transporting into Egghead.

The direction in this episode was perfect, how they used very muted colors in marijoa to show the lack of humanity in this place, the intensity/anticipation/worrying for the vegapunk broadcast and how the "truth" will affect the world, and the use of purple colors when gorosei were being summoned to showcase how sinister their upcoming transformation will be is just exquisite.
Greatest shitposter under the heavens.

Time for recaps. Scary Luffy last episode
WORLDWIDE BROADCAST BEGINS!
Holy! We're seeing everyone! Rebecca, Kyros, Whoever that was, Luffy's village chief,

Saturn is embarrassed being held back
An hour damn
Droggy & Broggy being badasses
Oh its 10 minutes now.

It definitely is a big deal that Vegapunk wants to tell the entire world something in the world
Dressrosa people return!

Luffy's village chief being petty as always
Water 7! I love the fact that its night at Water 7
We get to meet Iceburg's assistant, Alice, who's perfect :D
Now, Wapol AND VIVI!
Only Morgans noticed that its not being livestream so far it seems
Love you Vivi

West Blue, North Blue, South Blue are on too
Kambakka Kingdom and the Revolutionary Army!
Dragon brooding as always.
The Great Erik is giant & super big!

Even the Five Elders are tuned in for Vegapunk's announcement. Very angrily at that

That is such a powermove by Luffy, handling an Elder and Admiral together and making frisbees out of them. Gotta love it!

Kizaru got sent back to his boat and Luffy cant stop laughing
Ofc Saturn feels humiliated
Not even Luffy's Gear 5 antics could keep Saturn down lmao

Kizaru has been traumatized.
Saturn decides to stop spinning.
Luffy is now serious too.
The summoning has begun
Mf made a Satanistic circle or smth
The Five Elders are no less than Satanistic anyways

THIS IS INSANE
THE FIVE ELDERS, who we have known from so long ago are becoming relevant parts of the goddamn story!!!!!
One Piece really is ending soon T_T
