----------------------------------------
the true fight of honor begins!! the climax is here!
this episode was great, I especially liked the OST when Katakuri was walking up to Luffy after taking his scarf off
throwing away his pride and acknowledging Luffy as a powerful opponent, so epic!
and correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure all that stuff with Smoothie wasn't in the manga at all

This episode was pretty good. Katakuri wanting to do the fight honorably willing to stab his own stomach just to be on par with his enemy is very respectful. You can barely find anyone that wants to do that.

Katakuri has my utmost respect.

And Flampe is not the cutest, but most disgusting imouto, her shocked expression was priceless, tho xD

Good episode overall, the OST and Haoshoku explosion were epic.
I also love Luffys and Katakuris "rivalmance".

The part with Smoothie was in the manga too, they just changed they order and added some extra scenes.

What a noble thing Katakuri has done, I truly respect the man. But that color of supreme haki was really impressive by both of them, I really loved their fight now and the animation agrees. I'm glad they were able to shut that annoying brat.

That counter punch by Luffy was really impressive, I like that Guy's spirit and tenacity. I hope toei will put more effort to other episodes as well, after all it is a new year.

Great episode,

That was so epic! Didn't think it could get better than that conqueror's haki scene in fishman island but oh boy! I live for this One Piece moments c:

Also, I am starting to understand why everyone loves Katakuri so much.
Very honorable and strong.

Flampe has to be one of my most hated characters in all of anime after this episode. What a garbage excuse for a sister.

That aside, I absolutely loved this episode. I think it has to be one of my favorite episodes that I have seen in a while. The music at around 11:00 really got me amped and then the Haki exchange that almost blew up the mirror room was excellent.

But, of course the best part was on the ship when Smoothie was getting larger and strong. Brook yelled ‘Can I see your panties!?’ Literally spit up my drink and busted up laughing.

I'm afraid that without a seasonal brake or shortening the episodes to 10 minutes, this will never happen. One Piece is gonna keep this horrid one chapter per episode pacing until the end.

Fuck Flampe for causing Katakuri to stab himself and extend this boring, dragged out fight

Aside from a punch & CoC clash, nothing happened in the fight.

The preview for next episode is the same shit we’ve seen already!

Katakuri dominating the fight while Luffy sits there getting hit like a masochist ✔️

More Rayliegh flashbacks ✔️

Luffy awakening future sight ✔️

I can’t wait for this shit fight to end.

Well killing those guys would not make him so badass, and actually all his resolve would be wasted. Katakuri's honor for Katakuri is the thing that is the most important, but Flampe thinks that looking cool=is being honorable.

This episode showed us that, Katakuri will throw away his reputation in order to save his honor. Great episode.

I don't know, I didn't pay attention to that, but more importantly: Which right, which left? Nami's right and left, or Jimbei's right and left?? They didnt clarify that for themselves. If I was in that situation I would have died for sure.


---

I'm glad Flampe is gone. She was in only a few episodes, yet I absolutely hate her.
Somehow I wasn't too happy with this episode, except for the last 1-2 minutes. That double punch at least looked kind of good. I hope next episode we'll finally enter the climax of this battle. It's been going on for too long.

I love how the preview mentions how Luffy's observation haki has improved, but it's still no match. It's like no sh*t, for the last 20 episodes we have been hearing nothing from the preview but "Luffy is getting there, but still not quite there yet".

Cant give any less than 5/5 for this episode ,so epic.
First of all nothing ,but respect for Katakuri stabbing himself to even the fight.
I was ,so furious about that little prick Flampe interfering with the this awesome fight.
She got what she deserved along with her retarded minions.Taste the wrath of Haki.
Did she ever seen herself at the mirror with that ugly deformed body and making fun of Katakuri....
Brook and his pants obsession always funny to see :D
Is it just me or big mom looked like a super sayen ^_^

Luffy is still having a bad time trying to stand up after that stab, but Katakuri realized what happened, so he went with Flampe only to stab himself, equalizing the fight and clarifying that a battle between men doesn’t need help. Flampe got really angry (Katakuri took off the garment that covered his face) and after seeing his face, she tried to make fun of it. Katakuri and Luffy unleashed a king’s haki’s wave that knocked out everyone except they both. In Bege’s ship, Bege and Chiffon change their route, changing their destination from liqueur island to fluffy island (to give mugiwaras more time). In the Sunny, Sanji and Pudding left the ship to go to cocoa island; Smoothie started attacking the ship from the distance, but Nami and Jibei could dodge the energy blasts. Katakuri and Luffy are still fighting intensely.

Great episode, I was absolutely excited about what was Katakuri going to say to Flampe, hahahaha, losers fall first. That execution of king’s haki was spectacular, great scene. Well, in the other hand, Nami and Jinbei are struggling to survive. I have to say, despite this episode was great in terms of Luffy’s fighting, I can’t forget that I have been watching the same fight since 10 episodes before, changing practically little.

Such a great episode!!! They animated the haki clash so well that I can almost feel it too XD. I hope they keep this animation quality, One Piece tends to have bad animation due to the little amount of time that animators have in order to make an episode.
SPOILERS: I really hope they animate Snake man very well. If they do, this could be one of the greatest fights or the greatest fight in One Piece.

Katakuri now definitely is my most loved oponent Luffy had so far. I mean to protect his own honor and pride he stabbed himself to be on par with Luffy. He just wants a fair fight. Even if it's true what Luffy said about that fights between pirates aren't even close to be fair.

Finally Flampe got shut her mouth. I can't stand her character. She doesn't even understand why Katakuri did this to himself.

A little bit sad that we just got a little fight scene. I also liked the clash between both of them. It seems like next episode will be a lot of fun. Can't wait to see Luffy finally awaking his kenbunshoku haki.

because Katakuri wants to fight Luffy equally without any tricks, yeah it's a nerf but that's Katakuri's character after Luffy earned his respect.
you can notice how Katakuri left his weapon and he wants to fight Luffy with punches like a man.

The pace and animation was nice for once, until the last part with Katakuri vs. Luffy. I be damn, Smoothie is really strong. I wonder if she is descendant to the giants cause she is big from before and can even grow bigger. Maybe her grand grand mother/father was a giant. Anyways, pretty interesting ability. Drinking people to get stronger. Why do I get Cell vibes? xD

That girl was surprised by Katakuri's real face. No wonder he never shows it. hahaha

Yo Katakuri really just became one ofy favorite antagonists. You put any other sweet general in that situation they would pet that bitch on the head and thank her! Katakuri on the other hand really is a true warrior like in their world they been fighting for hours but in their minds it probably feels like they been fighting for years and earned some respect for each other. Nothing but respect for Katakuri

I hate to say it but this series is in need of a break or even some fillers that I can skip. The stretching is taking away from my enjoyment of the show. This was apparent during the Don Flamingo arc. It was mediocre and only due to the fact that they do almost nothing in each episode.

You'd be surprised how many minutes Katakuri took to walk to that annoying girl and back. I never hated the fact that they did fillers, I'd just skip them and it was fine.

Don't go overboard and destroy the series like Naruto did to where I dropped the series during the war arc.
