| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- The action continues in the Colosseum. What I like the best in here is "Lucy" using Dragon Claw to break Burgess' armor. That was a really epic scene. Thunder Solider Soldier (stupid typo asdfghkl) faces off against Lao G. Franky vs. Bastille. Dellinger arrives on the scene. Pica is unstoppable but Zoro steps up to fight him one on one. And LOL @ Kinemon's disguise. Just LOL! |

| Is the animation slightly better? |
| and next up, zoro ga kiru |
 |
| OMG that Kinemon so troll |
 |
| Holy shit this was an amazing episode, we got alot going on. Can't freaking wait for Zoro to fight !!!! |
 |
| The action at the colloseum was awesome. Apart from Rebecca Dat ending got me do hyped! |
 |
| Sabo finally gettin' real |
| About time Zoro drew all his swords, time to cut him up! |
 |
| The Donquixote family is full of a lot of eccentric individuals lol. Lao G is quite the character. Good episode but I was hoping to get more Senor Pink! |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Sabo being badass, and Lao G also weird af |
 Deal with it |
| Dragon Claw fucking finally! It didn't meet my expectation but it's good enough, I guess. I love how intimidating it looked when Lucy raised his hand, the background turned blue, and he just haki'ed up. It was also really cool the moment JB's armor got shattered. |
| Honobono Log - best slice of life short -------------------------------------------- most kawaii loli overlord ---------------------------- Donquixote Doflamingo AMV - Control |
| dragon claw ftw |
| I just love how the music starts playing and Zoro gets to business. "This stone guy... is gonna get cut!" |
| Decent episode for a change. Iirc, there were a couple of things different from the manga. Pretty sure that Leo headed out first and then Trébol hit the fly, which was why Robin stopped him. Also, pretty sure that the Kinemon scene was filler, I seem to remember him just going missing for ages and then suddenly showing up in that disguise. It's probably better that they added that scene. Nothing too important got changed. Overall, decent episode with a good amount of action. |
| Dat animation doe :O Really good to the usual :3 Sabo's Dragon Claw animated was BA! Lao G and his glasses was lol XD Franky still being BA but his opponents keep increasing. Another Pervert added to the mix <_< Senior Pink is too MANLY XD Zoro was BOSS at the end :D |
 |
| This family is so insane and... can't wait to hear Pica voice xD Still loving everything Senor Pink say haha |
 |
| Dragon Claw FTW! |
| Eh |
| That Dragon Claw was awesome. Seeing badass Zoro getting pissed was the icing on the cake. 5/5 |
| Finally some action with Zoro... Though I don't think it'll be anything epic with that pacing. Oh well. I love Kin'emon tho :D Can't wait to see how he looks like as a Mingo. |
  |
| CHEAH! Man, my faith in OP had been slipping for a few weeks prior to this, but DAMN! was it restored in dramatic fashion. One of the things that has made me love OP is the over-the-top voices and facial expressions, and they brought a lot of that back in this episode, I felt like I was being taken back in time to the good ol' days of OP. It helped that much of the battle animation was done by someone competent. Next up we have: more battle royale with Burgess/Sabo, then Zoro/Pica, and Kinemon is DOFFY?! Like KOL would say, SO MUCH HYPE!! Soldier-san and Rebecca were there too but I tried to ignore them. |
 |
| I knew it! That's why I'm so eager to see Sabo fight. I wanna see more of him soon. As for the others well they're having battles on their own but damn I wanna see Kin'emon disguising as Doflamingo haahaha |
 |
| SABOOO. Can't Wait xD |
| Pure excellency. |
 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. |
| Well one of the better episodes lately. They animated Sabo's attacked rather well, finally we got something to look at. Lao G is funny :D |
| And that's how you take care of buzzing insects. |
| "Let Justice Be Done!" My Theme Fight again, fight again for justice! |

 |
| like i thought Sabo is the stronger. |
 |
| some decent action, though not much happened in each area of focus. thats to be expected when you have so much stuff going on. still a decent episode overall. |
| Kinemon changing into Mingo, this is gonna be fun :) |
 |
| Hmm so Sabo knows haki, probably not that surprising anymore but I'm wondering who trained him? I'm hazarding a guess that perhaps it was Dragon himself. |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| If there are someone made of a hard material (stone, iron...) There will be Zorro to cut him! |
 |
| DAYUM SABO!!! I see you my boy. |
 |
| Sabo badass aw yeah |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| LOL they blacked out Doffy's face, so I'm expecting Kin'emon to still have his face in that disguise XD cuz he can only make objects, not completely change the face like Bon-chan can, right? |
| More fronts opened, but the most interesting of this episode was Zoro that want to destroy this big man stone!!!! |
| Finally Zoro in action. We get to see Sabo fight for the first time too. That qualifies as a good episode Also, I'm not liking Doflamingo's subordinates at all. They're just way too ridiculous even compared to previous characters. Just make them fodder, lmao. I only care about Doflamingo, Pica and maybe Diamante. |
| Before touching on this episode, I wanted to add something I forgot when I was trying to recollect on where everyone was. Bellamy should almost definitely be going to see Doflamingo right now. He wanted to hear the words of betrayal from Doflamingo himself before he could truly believe them. Due to that and him not being with Luffy, my friend suggested that he may be taking a back route straight to Doflamingo as people are gunning for his head. I suppose he really is the Brownbeard of this arc, I can already imagine a similar “I killed them all” scene. I’d like to further preface that this episode also worked as a study on the art of building characters up and tearing them down. It’s a simple writing device but it’s effective. We began with more of the SOP and the building up of Trebol’s strength. Usopp watches him cowardly as he notices a fly and has the accuracy to hit it with his slime which breaks through numerous walls and pins it down perfectly. This also goes to build tension as a boy as small as a fly will be attacking soon, it later goes to show just how much courage Leo has as he fights for his enslaved friends knowing the risks well, and as Usopp explicitly put it, if that’s a casual swat of a fly to Trebol then this is going to be dangerous. Ultimately we had Leo charge in with a pretty striking running animation to sell the speed that he was going; to be faster than a fly, but Robin caught onto something and stopped him. I also wanted to briefly mention that the scene was also strong for Usopp’s fear being perfectly captured, especially in moments like his hesitant thumbs up, and it was more of Robin using her absolutely creative power. You have to love the ways she uses it, last episode by putting eyes on the wall to spy on Trebol and Sugar, this episode creating a clone to inspect the fly, and previous things like rolling Zoro away or pinning herself to the Sunny with her own arms. The colosseum was another huge case of build up and this time, tearing down. Primarily we had Burgess show off that shockwave power of his on a flying fish, imploding its face and launching it into the crowd, breaking the stands. This is obviously used to show that Sabo has the haki imbued strength to clash with it, minutes later, and shatter his armor unscathed. It made for a strong moment on Sabo, he’s determined and calm even in the face of “one of the ten titanic captains supporting Blackbeard” and Doflamingo’s very own Diamante of whomst sword he easily shattered. It was to tell us that Sabo may be one of those haki users which gives the New World a reputation for the deaths of young cocky logia users. He’s freaking powerful, he even wiped Burgess’ smile off his face for like one of the first times I can recall in the series and that felt good. Yet, it wasn’t all about making Sabo appear to be efficient and strong, it also ended with Rebecca. She hid behind Bartolomeo’s barrier shaking, she had to realize how far below the others she was and for that she determined that she had to, at the very least, attack like she’s willing to kill. In the end she charged for Diamante. Then we have the toy Soldier who just beat en entire elevator of Doflamingo’s goons by himself, the build up of his strength and conviction, only moments before meeting Lao G who pummels his face into the wall like it was nothing and then swats a Tontatta so fast we had a Dragon Ball gag about him putting on glasses. With Dellinger arriving to face Franky, it only seems fitting that Soldier gets the honor of holding off Lao G so that Franky only has to deal, what, 3 executives and a vice admiral? Not easy but if Soldier actually gets a major fight scene that would be awesome. And as for Lao G, he did not disappoint from his eccentric appearance in the opening. He’s such a cheesy superhero in his design and his behavior and it clashes with his hardened and serious old man face. He poses and markets himself as “G”, he even fits it in when he’s explaining that he went down the wron”G” lift. What a weirdo, I wonder if he’s a fan of Sogeking. I also have to wonder why, if he is dressed as a superhero, he works for such cruel people. He’s kind of a supervillain. But he likes making a show of things so he’s entertaining already and fits the zany world of the Don Quixote family. Luffy and Zoro showed off just how freaking cool those boys are by avoiding being crushed with balloon and swordsmanship and prominently the end of the scene. Pica being able to form walls and stop their progress made Zoro take initiative, cutting the blockade and telling Luffy, as if it were a matter of fact, that he will take Pica and Luffy will kick Mingo’s ass. These two have been through a lot, they have so much faith in each other. From the map it seems the palace is beige rather than the stone color of the tower so I did expect fleeing to get out of Pica’s stone domain but I suppose Zoro holding Pica off is the best way for that, if it is true. The warping of walls knocked Kin’emon over and he had another cute moment with Wicka as she has exclusively been comrades with the most simpleminded of Straw Hats group, Kin’emon ignoring her, even if out of good intention. They must go to the palace, where Luffy is still headed, and take the lift down, and Kin’emon used his head once he heard about the security. He’s about to Bon Clay it and disguise as Doflamingo himself. Yet, we’ve seen Kin’emon’s disguise skills and he can’t change his facial structure and his behavior is quite noticeable and I think we saw a topknot on the Doflamingo costume. So, I’m eager to see him play the part as bad as I anticipate it. Dellinger has caught up to Franky, and Senor Pink gave him a warning, to not be cocky as Franky is a robot but also a pervert, perhaps showing that he knows exactly the kind of man who Franky is. As Franky does cherish both of those sides of himself. Plus, the brash Dellinger and the hard-boiled Senor Pink are fated to have an adorable relationship. Assuming Bastille isn’t down for good, we have a room full of enemies, Bastille, Dellinger, Machvise and Senor Pink. Lao G is up against Soldier, and the top executives are all in fights too! Specifically, Zoro declaring that he would cut the stone man reminded me of the promise to Daz that he would finish their battle a man who could cut steel. And Zoro is a man of his word, I think we should have faith! P.S. imagine if Pica’s voice is finally revealed as a joke, like if it’s super high pitched or something. If we don’t want to cut the sails out of Pica then the inverse could also work super well, him revealing his cool voice when it counts most. If he talks at all that is! |
