 |
| for me it's the opposite. i wasn't feeling the beginning of the arc at all and it's only lately that it's begun picking up for me. |
| They need more salt |
 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. |
| OK this opening kinda gets annoying -.- |
| not much really happened. i mean, it was cool seeing the crew work together against one opponent, but the whole episode was pretty much the same thing. i really hope the next one isn't like this. |

| I will like to see them all fight together against Odz. So Sanji wont fight with Absalom again? I am a littler bit disappointed :( |

| Oars goes on a rampage. |
| "Let Justice Be Done!" My Theme Fight again, fight again for justice! |
| DAyum how'll they get out of this one |
 |
asked myself the same thing x.x |
 |
| Yes we get that you're Oars and not Luffy |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| this is a raid battle |
| This was a fun episode. We don't usually see large scale teamwork during fights so it was interesting in that respect. I was wondering when someone would step in to help Sanji. The crew easily understands that a fired up Sanji would be impossible to stop and Robin offered to help earlier. Thinking deeper about it Brook and Zoro are too far away and although they could do air slashes, at least Zoro could, Zoro seemed to have trust in Sanji and respected him and his battle against Oars enough not to interfere! Up until the last moment that is, where Oars held him up and by then attacking Oars, Zoro or Franky would risk hitting Sanji. I also think that Robin would struggle to really hold Oars back at all when her grip didn't even hold on Jigoro. I say I think Zoro respected Sanji's battle and trusted he would come out on top because of his reactions which were my favorite part of the episode. He showed he was worried and when Sanji came out okay he showed he was glad. It felt as though Zoro had faith in Sanji and by continuing to survive he was affirming that faith! Later he had genuine panic when Oars came out on top. Yet, over all this time he never ordered Franky to lure Oars over to them, nor did he go out to help Sanji. I think it was because of that faith and respect of Sanji I mentioned. He didn't wanna get in Sanji's way and he trusted he'd come out alright and maybe even do some major harm to Oars. However, the millisecond Oars turned to destroy Usopp, Chopper, and Robin, Zoro didn't hesitate to pull out his swords and yell at Franky to lure Oars to them! This is the detail that made me realize that I think Zoro wasn't going out to help because of what I said. However, he knows that the trio targeted doesn't have the same chance as Sanji, he doesn't have faith in them coming out on top, so he immediately acted to save them. I think it showed his respect and care for Sanji through his worry and trust in him, as well as his different kind of care for the non fighters of the crew. It was really awesome for that. And, of course, we saw Zoro flip out and actually think he was going to die. It's so cool to see the tight-lipped Straw Hats like him and Robin show visceral emotion! I've never forgotten the time when Zoro realized he was going to lose against Arlong, the time he realized Robin's fear of Aokiji and had it sink in the danger they were in, and now this is added to the pile. savinorojas said: If chopper would just down some motherfucking rumble balls and go all gigantic and shit, I'm sure this would be really fucking badass, BUT NO! motherfucker hasn't even ate one smh I would too love this to occur and have a godzilla battle of sorts but if you think about it, as far as I know anyways, Choppy doesn't even know what happens when he turns big. It's like a nod to Dragon Ball. He loses himself and doesn't retain control of himself nor memories of what occured. It's why he even attacked his friend Franky as the monster. For that to occur we would need it to go there naturally. Of course, an enemy like Oars would tank the rumble ball attacks and force him to eat so many he transforms. That would be quite awesome and it appears to be the only way to take him down outside of: - incredible teamwork from the crew like Robin tripping Oars and Sanji cooking a giant salty meal and Usopp flinging it into his mouth. - or the predictable: Luffy gets there, see's everyone nearly dead, goes gear 3 in a rage and kicks Oars; ass. The first and second would be much more interesting and even though the third is more likely it would still be good, I just think it kinda represents Oda's refusal to challenge typical shounen arc structure. Sure, he throws in wild cards, he doesn't make it entirely stringent on 1 versus 1 battles, but you can always still predict the overall structure of the arc from nearly the beginning. I would love for Luffy to handle a problem earlier than expected in an anti climax, I would love for someone other than Luffy to have the final battle like Zoro or something. I would love for there to be a major arc that wasn't all about building up to a final battle with smaller battles. I love One Piece dearly but this is certainly one of my biggest problems with the series, even though I must admit Oda is getting better at saving Luffy for the final battle. He's not being stuck in plot devices or plot convenient contraptions like a giant snake or a pool of water anymore, he's rather doing what he does best and attacking the big bad head on. He did it with Crocodile despite losing twice, he did it with Lucci and Spandam, and now he's doing it with Moria. I really appreciate Oda writing the typical shounen structure around good character writing rather than overly convenient plot devices, but I still would prefer him to take even more risks with it. |
| This episode's highlights were definitely Oars recognizing Sanji despite his ridiculous wanted poster to everyone's surprise and Absalom giving his wedding kiss to Hildon~ Moria's heavy reliance on his shadows makes me curious on whether he has a back-up plan that doesn't involve them if Luffy somehow found out how to make an effective counterattack. Pretty much everyone in the Straw Hats got incapacitated by Oars and it's starting to look like Luffy beating Moria's the only way to defeat him too... |
 |
| Everyone's down for good. |
 |
| Oars unleashing his strength took down the whole crew Moria still running away Some buildup for weird current that they are going too Hildon kissing absalom was funny |
| Oars with Luffy's shadow is pretty athletic |
 |
| Big oof. That would've been an instant death right there for Sanji LOL. It seems everyone is down for the count except for Luffy and Nami. |
| Zombie Luffy beating everyone 😢 |
 |
| Everyone's beat :p As expected, they couldn't do much against Oars. |
 |
| Was nice to see the Straw Hats working as team against Oarz. A really great episode. I wonder where Thriller Bark is headed?? |
Reply to JebaUzumaki
Everyone in the Crew terrified of Oz
Zoro: It would be fun lol
Zoro: It would be fun lol
| @JebaUzumaki Sanji also wasn't terrified at all. |
| I thought Sanji could at least damage Oars. It looked like it was his fight alone at first. This seems like the only one who could save them is Luffy, by defeating Moria. |
 She got him back. If you understand the characters well enough, you'd know she did! |
| Oars is a big guy... for them |
| i don't like some of the shots of the giant.In a few of them it feels his scale is smaller than it actually is |
| I thought the straw hats would put up a better fight vs zombie Luffy. I actually thought Usopp had him. I guess it will come down to Luffy beating Moria. Because I don’t think the gang will be able to beat zombie Luffy. |
