| Nice episode, actually. The arc is ending. About damn time. This was just torture. I honestly hope something like this won't happen again. |

Now it officially ends next week, and then we'll go into some much-needed filler. Completely agreed. Least the recap was kind of cool, as you've said. A good time to put it in as a great way to show the fact that the arc is finally going to be over and dealt with. This has to be one of the only anime series (if not the only one) where a filler is actually very much needed, imo. |
| Watched this episode just to see the end of this lackluster of arc. Ep was okay though. |
 |
| Yay the 100+ episode Arc is almost over, but wait 1 episode every 7 days so 700+ days... that would mean the arc has been going on for almost 2 years?... Wow and to put it into perspective the whole Arc was just a single day, Not even that. (not counting flashbacks ofc.) 2 years of our life was like 7 hours in the anime. It's also around 14% of the whole anime. Lets be honest this arc could have easily been cut in half or even a quarter hell most anime are less then 25 episodes total so why is a well established anime taking over 100 for 1 arc? Also that long intro that has been in the anime since the start has probably now taken up a whole day of your life and the unnecessary recap is the bane of my existence. Anyway I can't wait for the next arc and I hope they handle it much better then this one. Not hating on One Piece I just know it can do better then this. |
 |
| I guess this is the first time I think...an OST was played in between...or did I got it wrong |
 |
| Well, there it goes a very very very very very very very very (damn it, it is really too long) long arc, but i won´t say that i hate it, instead i liked it, but i could have been even better with less worthless minutes, and of course with more Brook. Looking forward the next arc :D |
 |
| The king tontatta is such a perv. Meet the Strawhat fleet!!! Time for a new arc!! |
 |
| This arc was unnecessarily long. All those events they showed at the end, could have taken place in 15 episodes, not in more than hundred. |
 |
| Epic episode! Luffy being Luffy all the way, and just when I thought that Bartolomeo won't cry anymore he starts again, I loved it! |
 |
Epsilon said: Pretty cool episode, one more ep before Dressrosa officially ends and then into the filler. Can't see it being any longer than 4 episodes if it's just supposed to be like the one they did before Film Z Pretty nostalgic episode. Luffy didn't accept just as expected. The ED was pretty epic. Lets hope the filler is not too long. |
 Fake people have an image to maintain. Real people just don’t care. |
| IT'S HERE!!! MUGIWARA DAI-SENDAN!!!! MUGIWARA GRAND FLEET!!!! Luffy has Just ONE OF THE BIGGEST OFFICIAL Fleet Under his Command....Even if He does not like it at all!!! XD Luffy might want to Be Kaizoku-Ou for it means to Be Most Free in these Seas...but he really should somewhat Expect that he gets Followers more and more he gets the Fame! HAH!!! Zoro, Barto and Co. took the Choice from the Luffy, but hey! He Himself said that do what you Want! XD |

| Of course it didn't went the way it's supposed to be. Not with Luffy anyway. But at least he still got his grand fleet. It felt so good I didn't mind the two opening songs. |
 |
| Hahahahaha This arc was long n heavy, and we loved it. The way the fleet came to be was great. Good guy Fuji. Luffy is officially best gambler. Now, about law...... |
  |
| Funny to see Luffy get so annoyed hehe. Great ending for the arc. I just wish previous eps were handled better w/o that 5 min recap or more. Maybe for the next arc...one can only hope |

Wow and to put it into perspective the whole Arc was just a single day, Not even that. (not counting flashbacks ofc.) 2 years of our life was like 7 hours in the anime. It's also around 14% of the whole anime. It's even worse. The first episode of the Dressrosa arc aired January 19th, 2014, so with the last episode coming next week, it will have been almost 2 1/2 years, and no less than 118 episodes. 118 episodes at 24 minutes of air time. Okay, maybe 19 minutes on average once you subtract the intro/recap at the start of every episode. Still, even at 19 minutes, we are talking over 37 hours for this arc, of which roughly 15 were recaps, 10 were people running around aimlessly, and maybe 12 hours actual fighting and storyline progression. Yep and that is why I dislike this arc with every fiber of my being, Most of it felt like a waste of my time because they fluffed each episode, I could basically sleep on them that's how fluffed they were. And even if I did it wouldn't miss much. Picked up towards the end thank god. |

But this Arc..............yeah a very long run but in the end it was still a good one. But all in all, there is just one that takes the whole cake from this Arc: Fujitora. What Oda did with Fujitora representing Zatoichi, that was just too great. He didn't accept it because all he cares about is freedom but the other captains used that against him and used their own freedom to take him as their boss anyway. I'm guessing they will just be used as secondary characters like every other group he gets along with on every other island, only difference seems to be they will show up in a big fight in the future. |

| damn son Luffy's armada is finally formed |
 |
| Loved this episode! Can't wait for the next arc!! |
| This was really cool. Luffy now is one step closer to become the pirate king. I liked how Oda managed to give him lots of followers without making it out of Luffy's character. Law still feels he is in a weird place. He is family now, he should feel like on of them :p Goodbye dressrosa, you've been extremely frustrating experience, regardless of the enjoyment moments here and there. Also, how on earth is Mingo still alive. I can't believe I am going to see him again after all this. |

| "I don't want to be important! I just want to be king of the pirates!" Along with everyone else, I went like huh. I mean, I understand... But... Huh |
| dressrosa arc is ended finally ... |
 |
| Pretty decent arc when action happened it was on point. I liked the way they ended it with the Flashbacks. Also Doffy has his awesome glasses back so he'll be alright |
| just because I’ve gotten weaker, doesn’t mean that you got stronger, does it? |
Epsilon said: There's going to be a filler called "Silver Mine Arc" where Luffy and Bartolomeo get captured by the Silver Mine Pirates and have to escape from some fortress. From what I've read about it, the main enemy is linked with the main enemy in Film Gold. So i assume it'll be a few episodes and end just before/as the Film Gold anime special comes out on the 16th(?) of July ah my bad.. but sounds nice xd |
| For all its warts, I loved the Dressrosa arc. There are definitely pacing issues, but that only seriously bothered me while seeing Bellamy bounce around punching Luffy for 25 episodes while Law was getting worked over. Otherwise there were so many fantastic moments such as Law's backstory, Doflamingo being an incredible villain, the return of Sabo, Luffy finally going all out and putting what he learned in the last two years to the test, and much much more. I also loved this episode, it was warm and fun. Luffy got his armada without compromising who he is. If I could change one thing it would be Luffy's hat. I still hate how retardedly big it is now. I don't know why they messed with it. I do wish the show would take a break or have a long stretch of filler. Even though either option would suck, they need to let the manga get ahead more. |
| That was such a nice ending for the Dressrosa arc, even if it's not quite over. Everything which happened here felt so important for the future. I think everyone knew Luffy doesn't want to become the "Big Boss" of 5600 people, but how Bartolomeo and co. handled it was perfect :D Zorro drunk the whole sake bowl, Luffys reaction that he don't know why it's empty was priceless xD And I absolutely loved the 2 Fujitora moments. The last present of him to Luffy while dumping the enemy pirates was nice. So funny when he was thanking Luffy and got caught by Sengoku hahaha. Best marine admiral of all time for sure!!!!! And then the Dressrosa recap with the nice OST, I loved it. So much funny and also sad moments, that got me a lot of feelings. That what made One Piece so good :) Can't wait to see the reaction of Sanji, Nami, Chopper and Brook when they hear about the alliance haha. Next episode will be interesting with the things Doofy has to say and of course pls give them new bountys :P |

| Luffy is like Whitebeard now. |

What Oda did with Fujitora representing Zatoichi, that was just too great. It is pretty obvious that despite his claim of not wanting to be part of the grand fleet, this is obviously what oda is trying to convey in the series. Besides the narration by ODA "The straw hat grand fleet has been formed" is pretty self explanatory. its quite evident that this is going to end up being a major development for luffy and crew and this is probably something that oda wanted to showcase with in due time. Luffy and his grand fleet (just like whitebeard before him) take on the world government in some epic scale war. |

| good way to end the arc. almost got emotional haha it feels like im going to a new adenture myself! :D |

This was a fantastic arc, but the pace of the anime absolutely killed it. That being said, I'm glad it's over after what, 2+ years? And then after this short bout of filler we move on into greater waters... |

Beth_Masey said: huddycleve said: That's why you gotta read the manga instead. This was a fantastic arc, but the pace of the anime absolutely killed it. Not for me. The pacing was terrible, no doubt, but many of the things the anime stretched, the manga did as well. Not as much as the anime, but nonetheless. It's just that you can read manga, manhwa, and comic books more quickly than what you have to sit through and watch. There are other reasons why I disliked the arc very much, along with the past two, but many of which have been said many times already, and I really do not want to get into any heated arguments just for expressing my view towards it. Which things in particular? Whenever I re-read the arc once it was done, and I was able to read it at any pace, it felt much better. I think some of it just felt padded because so much was going on at once. It's definitely not the best arc in OP (I think that definitely still goes to Water 7/Enies Lobby), but it's up there for me. Doflamingo has definitely been my favorite villain so far, and the new cast of characters/abilities introduced have all been great. |
|
| OH LORD, IT'S FINALLY OVER. THE ARC IS FINISHED. Now we're probably going to see a lot of fillers ._. I love Fujitora *^* Especially the moment when he was having a monologue about Luffy and Sengoku appears: "I heard everything." xD  |

| Fujitora just dug his own grave by letting Mugiwara and the pirate fleet escape. Bet Akainu will punish him when they meet, even though Sengoku is backing him up now. Well better be prepared, Fujitora-ojisan 〜(￣△￣〜) |

Which things that the manga stretched as well, or which things that I didn't like about the arc as well? I could tell you if you are THAT curious, but I'd rather do it by PM, to be honest. To be honest, I thought Doflamingo was mostly fine, although a little disappointing. Idk. I would say more as to why I probably felt that way, but only by PM. lol I'll say the best thing about it right in the open, though. Fujitora. I have now became his fangal when it comes to One Piece. :P Sure, shoot a PM, I'd love to discuss. Fujitora is pretty great. Definitely my favorite Admiral now, past or present (though still gotta see Green Bull I suppose). |

| Dressrosa is over! Nice ending.. Next arc is a filler and it will start with episode 747 |
 |
| An arc that should have been about 50 ep ends at nearly 120 ep, the recap montage was nice thou. Here's a kanpai hoping for better padding in the future.  |
 |
| I guess its still kinda his forced crew xD Still good even though we had that flashback. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| So with the next episode being the last of the Dressrosa arc we'er at 117 episodes for one arc... I'm not sure if I should watch the next arc weekly as well, this'll probably get a monster like this again :/ |
| Good luck with your fleet Luffy, it being forced aswell :D Conclusion and looking back on the Dressrosa arc as a whole was alright, we deserved it after 100+ episodes. |
