Duuuuuuude! That was way better than the last few episodes. Luffy finally got totally insane with anger again, like he was back at the CP9 arc.

Good episode 4/5

+ Hannyabal, for taking a huuuge beating and always standing up.
+ Blackbeard, for the first time in the anime, he appeared as an awesome villain.

- The peeing scene... For once I can agree that this filler thing was totally a waste of time, it wasn't even funny...

But overall a good episode. BUT I NEED MORE SADI-CHAN!!!

If they omit that,people might think where the heck they gone.i guess they must show them out unless they are dead.Or maybe it shouldn't be appear in the first place.(actually i like the filler,ain't wasting much time)
It seems the Sadi-chan's fight totally finish without knowing....well i guess that is all.

You're right, i just realized that. The series is becoming awesome because the enemy is awesome: Blackbeard, i can't have fun watching Luffy fighting magellan or hannybal because, even if they're strongs, they're not villans.

The flashbacks with the vice-warden were okay, but once again the Buggy parts along with the freeze frames and the flashbacks with Ace & Blackbeard were blahhh.

Speaking from an entirely manga perspective, this episode was...shit.

the fight with hannybal was supposed to be a fast paced "beat-em-up" as a minor obstacle to reach ace quicker, however in the past few episodes in the impel down arc, the animators have decided to add in their own elements, such as the okama six and now...flashbacks for hannybal?

i do not fully understand the animators background atm while writing this,but i intend to learn about it in the near future.
Since the isle of woman, the quality of one piece anime as a whole has went down by alot. The art quality has gone down, compared to sabondy, water7 or even thriller bark.
and i dont know if its a matter of getting used to it or not, but the fight scenes just dont pack as much punch as they used to.

which leads me to the main concern of this episode. near the end where luffy meets blackbeard and punches him in frustration and anger, the anime shows this through all the steps, gearing up, shouting it and finally punching it.
although this may be "breathtaking" for the anime only people, for the manga its a bitter dissappointment. its soo slow that in that few seconds i can get bored.
from my perspective...just buying more time to stretch out the anime. and a sorry as rip-off of the magellan punch

in the manga its portrayed as a quick sudden burst, that not even blackbeard can react to. no gears. no gum gum talk for the punch. nada.
blackbeard turns and sees luffy screaming at him, and about 0.2 seconds later a punch so hard it hits him against a wall.

thats breathtaking.

this leads me to my second concern, the pacing of the anime now. while this leads to a explosive cliffhanger, it doesn't deliver on the adrenaline action the manga does in my opinion. which is set up for the next episode...a week later....o there was a punch cliff hanger for the ending? i forgot its been a fucking week.

for the people that only watch the anime, i urge u to go read the manga and feel one piece for what it truly is. it pains me to know that soo many people out there interpret this garbage as oda's real work.

sorry for the rant, sorry if i offended anyone but this is what i truly feel.

^ You're a week late. People were complaining about most of that in the last episode thread. Go look there & see that you're not alone :P


Now onto the episode;

You did well Hannyabal!!
When reading the manga I only thought you were stupid and ugly, but your funny voice going along with your wish to be Chief Warden easily made you one of my favorite characters.

Well nice episode, if you exclude the Buggy scene. Like I said I don't mind them, but the peeing part was just retarded :/
I also liked the flashbacks, helps build emotion. I believe the Teach/Ace ones were in the manga as well. And the next episode should have some real good moments~!

Edit; I decided to go with a nicer choice of words. Because I'm nice.

I didn't know any of it was filler but I enjoyed the episode a hell of a lot. I'm surprised nobody has mentioned it yet but this, for some reason, is the best looking episode in the longest time. Something happened, and the lighting is different, the music is better placed and overall it was great.

Buggy stuff was actually kinda cool. It made me take some nice images... purely because of how shiny Buggy was. SHINY:

Great episode!

Even though he stands against Luffy, you can't help but feel sorry for Hanyabal. Despite his craziness and wish to become the Warden, he really cares about his job and the importance it represents. A good 90% of the people down there deserve to be locked up. He made a valiant stance but alas it's just no good when you're going up against a pissed off Luffy. They could have easily stretched this part out the entire episode, but we also got the beginning of Blackbeard's confrontation. Awesome stuff and great pacing if you ask me. They even found some time to give buggy and Mister 3 some screentime (ok even more screentime, but there are people out there who enjoy that so good for them) It's not like they took over the entire episode.

Man, I wonder if next episode will reach


I definiately feel you guys when you say it seems to lack impact lately... i especially noticed this when Sadi was whipping people last episode, it looked epic... but there was no sound behind it, not even a whip noise =/ Let's hope it improves once they get out of impel down... cause if they downplay the next arc like they did here... yeah, lets hope not.

See as much as I hate Blackbeard he does show he has a more conscience mind, his whole good and evil rant plus remember his dreams speech, he is a villain but he is also after the same dream all the major characters are.

Oh man this is the moment i have been waiting for. Finally luffy confronts Blackbeard.

Hanyybal was rather weak. Luffy stomped that guy hard. Though i have to admire him for getting up so many times even after taking so many beatings. It really makes me wonder how Impel down is a prison for the most vicious criminals in the world. I wonder if this is a prison for just the first half of the grand line. I bet there is a prison specifically designs to house some of the more dangerous and powerful pirates of the new world. Cause honestly seeing enimes like Sadi and Hannybal, and all those weak guards, like the dogs, the bluiburi's who don't come off as that dangerous to me in the least.

Yet there supposed to protect the entire prison which is supposedly supposed to house the largest big shot pirates in the world? Yeah right!!

The only one that even looks remotly strong enough to take on some of these pirates is Magellen. But thats just one guy.

I mean imagine if like Kuma, Sentomaru or Rayliegh was locked up in there lol. you think they would be able to handle legendary people like that, FUCK NO!!

So thats why im saying, there probably is another prison out there in the new world that is designed for the big shots.

Hannyabel was a great supporting character! Even thought he was fighting on the good side.. his character background and development throughout the arc makes him so lovable! I really hope he becomes a Warden in the future! Next fight should be great! But I feel it'll be just a teaser.. I think its just too early for Luffy to fight all-out with Blackbeard.. I'm still waiting for the Magellan rematch! hehe But aside from that.. I'm still at a lost as to what happened to Shinryu and Blackbeard's motive in Impel Down.. :-D

Wow the vice warden is a complete failure, why'd they have to make a big deal out of trash... and make luffy's 2nd gear look weak. Fail... the only goods part was the green haired girl pirate and luffy's punch at the end.

ahhhh i'm worried for luffy, he doesn't have time to confront somebody like blackbeard

also hannyabel's speech made me feel bad for him and magellan. i keep forgetting that they're not villains, really - just obstacles to luffy's goals. the fact that all these convicts have been released is terrible for civilians and it's true that the world needs impel down.
