I really loved how they incorporated a mini-flashback at the end of the episode. It hit me hard seeing all of the emotional moments between Luffy and the rest of the crew being used, and Luffy crying his ass off. Luffy has NEVER cried like that before, and seeing him like that emphasizes what a great lost he just went through.

I'm actually kind of glad there is going to be filler episode after all that has happened. After the last couple of episodes, we need something that is light hearted to get us ready for the ride that is about to start.

Ah~ Really, this has just been getting more and more exciting... What a dramatic episode this was, though... And talk about one really hysteric Luffy... Wow, I don't recall him going so incredibly hysteric for a while now (if at all?).

But yeah, I wasn't too fond of the Flashbacks, myself (a few better examples could have been used, that's what I'm thinking)... but meh, I guess they worked to "intensify" the whole "happenings..." I'm curious to know what really happened...

Sigh... Next time is going to be a filler episode, though~ Noes (I hope the fillers won't last too long...)~ Can't wait to see what happens next in the real plot~ >x<~

Only 2 filler episode.
If you're familiar with the Grand Jipang fillers - It's that.

This episode came out quite well.

Now for a couple light-hearted fillers before the next wonderful arc begins.

Holy Sh t what an episode!

I'm not happy that there will be fillers after this - after all this spectacular dramatic tension it's nuts to go off and lose the momentum. My interest level in the fillers drops right off the cliff.

Oh well, I guess that they will wait until the new summer season begins to get back into the real story.

Yes! They made it so emotional just like I hoped for! Luffy hitting his own head was so sad.

And I'm really waiting for 2 next fillers, preview showed that we will see people from Water Seven and Thriller Bark, were there Zombie-ninjas or what? :D Too bad that there isn't longer filler, since I really hope that the producers will put some time, hard work and quality in the up-coming episodes.

Edit: Whoaah! My 100th post!

Haha. Damn. It just doesn't stop. The emotions in the episode just runs high. Definitely what I expected. Let's hope these fillers really do put up some answers of which we weren't given in the manga. Btw, I'm referring to the ones based off the story not the upcoming ones.

Great episode! It kind of reminded me of the 6th Movie.

Luffy crying out for each of his crew and hitting his head against the ground in frustration had me in tears. T~T

Never saw Luffy getting so thrashed before. Throughout the episode he could only stand on the spot and shout for his nakama to run away. I felt that he could have done more to bring his nakama away. Can't wait for fillers to end.

Being a fan is like having a penis. Its nice to be proud of it But don't pull it out in public and wave it in other's faces

No, he was way too exhausted to do anything. There was fight against PX-4 and Sentoumaru's hits hurting him and Kuma's teleporting ability prevented him from touching Kuma. Just beating one pacifista was really hard, Luffy had to use Gear 2 and everybody knows what it does to his body.

Been quite a long time since i last cried on one of OP's episodes. Brilliant way to end a brilliant arc.

This episode showed, most of all, just how much of a balance element Zoro is for them. The second he disappeared [him being the strongest and the one who never loses] they were paralyzed: even Luffy was. It's the first time we got to see Luffy practically torn to shreds, pleading Kuma to stop and crying and bashing his head to the ground. The most emotional scenes was the one in which he was reaching for Robin's hand.T________T
[loved the popping baloons when a crew member disappeared]

I still wonder what Kuma told Ray-san. [i'm still thinking his intention was to help them all along].

Awesome episode! They all vanisched! Including Luffy! The scene with Robin and Luffy was so moving. Kuma's so strong, even Chopper disappeard! Luffy's gone desperate crying. He loves them all so much.
It's the first time I saw Nami so frightened, especially her eyes were terrified.
Nice idea with the bubbles breaking while losing each of the nakama.

They should have called this episode "Cry out each others name"

I understand the emotional impact of what they were going for, but 24 minutes of

"RUN!! Sanji!!! Usopp!!! RUN!!! Nami!! Chopper!!!! NOOOOOO! RUN!!! Robin!!!!! AHHHHHHH!!!!"

That does not translate well to animation in my opinion. Besides that problem however, I am really interested to see what happens next...not including the filler.

Very well done.

Luffy's VA is absolutely amazing, I should just point that out. The amount of emotion in this episode was incredible, and Luffy's VA just really helped me feel for Luffy.

Seeing Luffy break down like that was really sad and well done, too. He's usually so happy and optimistic (a bit overly so, but hey, before now that optimism hasn't failed him.) but now he has just failed everybody. Nami shouting out "Luffy! Help me!" was really sad as well, and then Luffy trying to reach for Robin and her disappearing right in front of his eyes.

Wow... Really sad and well done! I know that it's not the end of the series, but if I didn't know that as a fact this episode probably would have gotten to me even more.

i guess this was the obligatory trashing of our heroes.

clearly he sent them somewhere. hopefully not separated. this just means that he and his crew will come back stronger.

Totally loved it.... really SO wanna know what Kuma whispered to Rayleigh there !! And what Kuma's motives are for doing all this , w/e he exactly did... Frikking awesome and good One Piece episode.

happy and sad for the next fillers indeed, ofc we all wanna know what's gonna happen next, but indeed I think we need a little break after all epicness from last couple weeks + Luffy-oyabin fillers are hilarious xD

It was nice seeing them losing for once. I was surprised by the reactions of Luffy. He just stood there most of the time. I am wondering what power up they will get after this experience and the reasons behind Kumas actions.
About the last thing Kuma said to Luffy. What is the right one? "You won't see them again" or "We will not be seeing each other again"? Is Yibis wrong?

Ha! Ha! One Piece is over, after the fillers we will have "The adventures of Kuma".

LOL that made me laugh.

That actually made me think: If there was no preview for the next episode - I wonder how many anime-only viewers would think One Piece is now over.


And to the people saying this is emo... Read the freaking manga chapter.

It looked like to me like Kuma saved their asses. I'm kind of glad he made Luffy disappear as well. Great episode. ^_^ Artwork is getting a tiny bit sloppy, and the animation a tiny bit off iin parts is well... >.> So, maybe they do need a break to improve a bit. Assuming that they already made the filler. I'm really tempted to read the manga to see what happens now..
