(I don't watch previews)

K a miracle has got to happen, because the Strawhats are in a total desperate situation, the Axe Guy, Kizaru and another Pacifista, seriously, this is gonna get tough.

And btw, AWESOME episode, like the previous one, can't stop watching now, NEXT!

Yea this is probably the first time I actually dont see a way out for them, all the other times you figured Luffy or Zoro would pull through, whether it was Enel, CP9 or any other enemy. But damn this is like a pile up on them from all sides, not even fair, I can only imagine Rayleigh trying to save them again seeing as how he is strong.

If things couldn't get any worse, now Sentamaru arrives on the scene, his ability to have the strongest defense, luffy can't even touch him. This is where he explains the truth behind the pacifista's.

There combined efforts to actually finally destroy the pacifist was awesome team work but they still have kizaru and sentomaru to deal with. The scene at the end had my heart racing. Right when Kizaru arrived on the scene to deliver the final blow to zoro. This episode was a serous adrenaline rush.

I don't see how in the hell the straw hats can possible survive this. This is by far the worst situation they have ever been in. It makes all those other adventures at the grand line seem like nothing.

Wow, this is pretty screwed up. How the hell are they supposed to survive this? I mean, an admiral, a guy with the supposedly strongest guard, and another Pacifista? I mean I know they'll make it through but HOW will they is the answer.

Can you imagine being stuck in the middle of these episodes watching them weekly. Or actually having to stop mid way through. lol Good thing you chose to watch these straight in a row when you had the time to finish them all.

when luffy says to run, you know shit is ROCK BOTTOM BAD.
i was overwhelmed for everyone. admiral kizaru, world's strongest guard and robot!kuma - i could see optimal luffy beating one of these three at an end boss fight, but this was all three of them with everybody in shit condition.
at least when all the pirates kept saying "you'll never survive the new world/there's powers out there you haven't dreamed of" they weren't joking. seriously, yeeeeesh omg.

(loving this, of course, since i know straw hats aren't gonna be killed ever.)

Instead of Cell Phones they have "Baby" Transponder Snails. Lol

Damn the Straw Hats are having a rough time. One badass after another attacking them. I'm guess either Luffy goes super crazy and unleashes some new power or somebody shows up and helps them. Idk though just my guess.

Either way this arc has been awesome so far, animated great and some sweet new characters.

Well that was quite literally an explosive episode.

When Luffy and Zoro suggest running away, you just do it. Period.

Zoro really can't catch a break lately though, can he?
I don't think getting the crap beaten out of him is doing anything for his pride...he just had to be the one to bump into Kizaru!

Sentomaru is quite something though! Not sure how these fights are gonna pan out at all. Worrisome indeed :O

On another note I laughed my ass off when Usopp landed with his arms slung around Zoro's neck XD

This tone setting is amazing. We get one of the most hopeless situations against Kuma in Thriller Bark then we come to the middle point of the sea, the place before entering the New World and we immediately see another of the most hopeless situations the Straw Hats have ever been in. Even Luffy one of the most straightforward, confident, and simple minded people ever fearfully ordered his crew to retreat. The man who approaches some of the mightiest on the sea yelling that he's going to punch them in the face... Do you remember the other most hopeless situation? It was the battle against Aokiji before Water 7. The admirals are nothing to mess with and they seem much stronger than the Warlords we've faced so far. Every time one is involved it's a mess. The way they got out of those two near death situations wasn't through being saved or pulling out on top. The first time was because Aokiji who rightfully killed Luffy and could had shattered him, gave him another chance as a thank you for taking down Crocodile. Kuma let Zoro go after being moved and testing his resolve for the crew. Maybe out of respect, perhaps he felt it was disgraceful like he said to take out such a strong group of people in their weakest state. Either way, both cases this hopeless were overcame through the opponents sympathy. I don't think that's a possibility here at all. And like Zoro said when he was facing Kuma, "If I start making excuses will someone come rescue us?". Back then Oda knew that I would assume someone would save them, and he had Zoro make fun of me with that line directly saying things aren't that lucky.

So how do they get out of this? If Rayleigh doesn't come save them and even I don't think he'd be able to take on all three of these foes, then perhaps one of the Straw Hats can be as Franky suggested to Sanji, a decoy. Maybe one will take it on themselves to cause a big enough commotion and hold back the three, willingly getting caught with faith the others will save them. But even then, Kizaru can move at the speed of light and teleport. Is that even possible? Perhaps this is a moment the Straw Hats will get caught and we'll get an escape from inside the navy prison arc this time...

This episode was truly remarkable in how hopeless it all felt.

As for the Pacifista's I have some thoughts on them. They are so interesting. They bleed and imo have shown pain but they don't have brains. Like the zombies all he would have to do is not open his mouth and shoot hand beams but he did anyways. Then he went berserk like a robot and died like a robot. Further, his vision indicates bounties almost as if those are his orders, he acts automatically when it comes to criminals. Yet, he still bleeds and shows pain like I had said. If Franky is right it's as if they used a real human to make them into a brainless war weapon, the price of a warship. At least the price of them indicates why they haven't been mass produced and seen all over the place. Lastly, their name is a play on Pacifist if Nami is right which seems incredibly ironic. Google defines the term as "a person who believes that war and violence are unjustifiable", and it defines pacifista as "someone opposed to violence as a means of settling disputes". Perhaps it's an ironic way of saying after using absolute power to wipe out all of the evil in the world there won't be war or violence any longer.

The moment Usopp hung onto Zoro's back was adorable. I love those two. In a way I think it shows just how much faith he has in Zoro despite his injuries.

P.S. I can totally see the Pacifista's coming up as an end game army and having all the super strong Straw Hats take them out with somewhat ease. Or perhaps they will find an effective way to kill them like with the lightening and mouth shots and that won't even be necessary.

It wasn't an impossible feat after all but it took too much effort and energy from every single one of the Straw Hats to defeat just one of those Pacifistas.

It's nice to see Luffy know how to choose his battles for the sake of his crew's survival but escaping enemies these good would be a nigh-impossible feat. Facing off against another Kuma along with Sentoumaru and Kizaru's just something you can't get out of without receiving unimaginable losses...

they finally strike one kuma and then another kuma appeared? running away seems like a good choice.

Literally it took the whole straw hat crew to death just fighting a Schichibukai. Now, they are facing a schichibukai, the strongest Haki (defense) and an ADMIRAL!!
Let's see what may happen :)

Zoro will be fine!!! there are still over 500 episodes to go lol! I honestly am getting a little bored with One Piece because the character development has been lacking. Luffys gotten his second and third gears, zoro is slightly stronger, Sanji has not changed, Usopp is a little braver, Chopper is the same, Nami has her stick, Robin is the same, and Brook is new. Keep in mind that this is the 40o and third episode!! I was hopping they would have developed a little more.

It’s rare to see Luffy have a realistic point of view but I like it. He read the situation well and he knew they had no chance, maybe if circumstances were different, like Zoro being at full strength, they may have stood their ground. I think this is an important development in Luffy becoming a better captain.

The straw hats already seem exhausted just by fighting one pacifista, and now with Sentomaru and Kizaru in the fight, I don't think the straw hats are winning this one.
