damn. That really must have hurt like crazy... But that's technically inaccurate: the heat from his magma punch could have cauterized the hole in Ace's chest as soon as it punched through, so there wouldn't be any blood.

Well if we were to get technical, he would be unable to move his lower body due to having his spine severed, he would be unable to speak due to having his diaphragm destroyed, and he would be dead in under 30 seconds from shock. A little blood coming from his mouth would be the least inaccurate part.

How the hell does one BURN....fire...? It sounds stupid, even with OP standards. Also, why would Ace has a physical body? It is flame, Akainu's fist should have gone throu (magma = not solid, but not liquid... or liquid stone, which is "physical", where a flame is not)

Im still baffled by the "fact" that its possible to burn flame...seriously, what the eff.

Oda's logic, magma burns fire, contradicting the real world's logic. Oda's logic, rubber won't get burnt by high voltage electricity. And, so on.. As for how he could have a physical body, how could he be hurt when he's a logia, you have to wait for an explanation later on

Even though i knew it, i still cried so hard. I hate that Garp couldn't farewell with his grandson. One of the saddest moments in anime, I can only compare it with the end of Code Geass.
The world in One Piece is too harsh and cruel. I want it to be a little kinder. At least the people should acknowledge the heroes of their era.

Whoa I didn't expected this. I knew that he was doing to die but I didn't know in which episode. But honestly Ace made a dumb move. Why would he pick a fight, with Akainu no less, while he knew how strong he is.

A silly thing if you ask me.

All those people who fought to save him died for nothing now. But I guess Ace cares more about WB name/pride.

Could be. Luffy is willing to die for his dream, that's stupid too if you ask me. Ace not running from Blackbeard when he was outmatched, that's beyond stupid. Ace chose to chase after Blackbeard even though WB said not to. WB ignored Shanks warning to get Ace back even though he knew Ace might not make it back, that's also stupid. They have their own definition of pride and the importance of such things.

Edit: And like I said, provocation, Akainu keep repeating it. If someone with a knife keep provoking me by insulting my parents or someone really close to me, I am not sure if I could keep cool. Ace also had the mera mera no mi, a fire fruit, that says a little about his hotheadedness.

The reason why Ace got provoked is explained in the Flashback of Ace and Luffy after this arc.
IIRC it's about, If I ran I can't protect anything. or If I ran I would lose something precious.

Your right, its like they made one bad move after another and this is what they get.

I liked that moment when WB told Ace that they have nothing to say to each other and he let after giving his respect to his father. But it seemed like Ace understood what his crew went tru to save him and to end this with him falling for Akainu's bait. Its just a dumb move imo. It was still a very good episode, it made me like Akainu a bit more. I always perfered villains over heroes anyways.

tr1ckst3r, I heard good things about the next arc. I look forward to watching that.

Stupidest death ever. Your captain already told you to run away, with him already putting his life on the line. Tons of buddies already sacrificed themselves when trying to save you, yet...

JUST A LITTLE PROVOCATION UNDID ALL THAT??

Please, Ace, you are the dumbest character I've ever seen. Should you just batted an eye and get your ass out of there, Whitebeard's death would had been very noble, and the pirates would have smiled at the end.

It's not a twist, it's stupid writing.

There was some serious tonal whiplash this episode. Were those Buggy and Mr.3 parts in the manga? To have Ace accepting the situation, something I hadn't expected, and him running as the Whitebeard's die and finally Ace taking a blow that severe for Luffy spliced up with yet another Buggy camera joke and a Mr.3 comedic moment felt weird. The Buggy joke was hardly anything new although it's still funny how stiff he is when filmed and I found his fake kindness quite funny too. And the Mr.3 bit was hysterical to have him hide himself in a wax shell and roll away, I would have just preferred a fully Ace and Whitebeard centered episode or the Mr.3 bit alone.

So for the actual bread and butter of the episode, that was traumatizing. The vivre card flashback really dulled the last moments for me, but apart from that I loved all of the Ace centered moments. The prostration similar to when Sanji thanked Zeff for all he's done, and the of course I am and jolly laugh of Whitebeard's. This is so sad, I didn't believe Ace could let Whitebeard sacrifice himself, Luffy never could after all if he was in Ace's shoes, but he did. As sad as it is he understood that if both of them died this was all be for nothing. As sad as it is Whitebeard is giving his own life for Ace and his children. Any who stay and die with him would just sully that. At the very least I hope that the camera captures his glory so that the slander does not live on.

Akainu is a damn punk. He is cruel. Kizaru may be sadistic, but Akainu is just truly cruel. 'Any unjust should die. Any deserters should die.' He does not know what sympathy is. And he's so good at manipulating people into anger through talks of slander. He did it to Squard and he did it to Ace now, but it does seem he believes Whitebeard is as bad as he is saying. Ace may have been able to run but he cannot let the man who gave them all a place to live, who made the world a better place, who would forgive his children for betraying him and let them leave if they so be it be insulted in his final moments. Like Luffy of course he would want to make Akainu shut up and it really broke him into a rage, as irrational as it was.

But my jaw dropped when he closed the distance to Luffy, Akainu went to kill Luffy before Ace's eyes. I don't want the death of many people in One Piece and knowing Oda I should have sympathy for nearly everyone but in this moment more than the Squard manipulation, I want Akainu on the ground freaking dead.... I love my boys and he's going out the way to spite everyone who fought for what they believed in tonight and make Ace suffer... Whitebeard will be devastated, everyone will, and this is the kind of moment I don't know how Luffy will react. When he thought his crew was dead he could not even fight back against Kuma. Will he need to be carried away, will he unleash insane haki and punch Akainu super hard, will he go berserk. I think however Luffy reacts here will be a notable moment of characterization.

All Ace had to do at this point was to respect Whitebeard's wishes and immortalize his legacy in memory but things just had to turn out this way, damn. Akainu really knows how to emotionally manipulate his opponents and mercilessly hit it where it hurts. He definitely believes that the ends justify the means when it comes to dishing out absolute justice.

It's very ironic that the vivre card that symbolized Ace's life turned out to be the very same thing that let Luffy's guard down enough to leave himself open to a fatal attack that his brother ended up taking. I can only imagine how sorrowful things would be in the next episode...
