| 6/10 Dressrosa Arc. 10x better than previous post time-skip arcs. And the only thing I liked about the Dressrosa Arc would be Bartolomeo & Sabo obtaining Ace's Mera Mera no Mi. Everything else dragged on a bit too long, it felt like I was reading another Alabasta Arc (Rebecca/Vivi; and I didn't like that arc as well lol). Luffy's 4th Gear reminded me of his Thriller Bark days, and I think he'd entertainingly fight well with Kung-Fu Point Chopper. Hoping they can move off quickly so Law can reunite with his crew. |
| 1/10 The arc had one redeeming factor and that was the flashback. The rest was somewhat garbage. - Doflamingo's character was ruined, and now he's just another generic evil guy. - Again, we have to bear through lots of unimportant side characters, strawhats or otherwise, deal with fodder to fluff up the length of the story needlessly. - Way too much action, and none of it was any good. No clever tricks, no emotional impact. Just throwing punches. - The story was lazily written. Once again Luffy simply has to clamber up the fodder ladder to get to the main villain (who's not any better), and the conflict is that the guy is just "really really bad and has to go away" - It was extremely long and not at all needed. A 100 chapters for something that could have been skipped altogether. The whole thing was filler. This is the second worst offender of this crime in manga after the Shinobi War Arc. I still haven't watched the latest 20 chapters but I doubt they're any better. So my score won't change and I already voted. |

| 4/10 it's dragged too long. |
| Rating things is kinda... whatever I'd say 7/10, since '7' is good here, it was a good arc. Had great moments in it. However it did fail a lot, focusing on character like the Tonataras, I mean will they be all that important to the overall story?? Felt really dragged, fights were underwhelming. It did have some cool things to it tho, like the reveal of Sabo, Law's past (and by this I mean Corazone, since the thing before we got introduce to Corazone, we've seen that before, similar to Robin), Gear 4th (many were disappointed, tho by now I got used to it, and it's design its cool). |
| 6-7/10 for me. It had some excellent moments Sabo, Sanji + big mom, Gear 4, Laws past etc. However I thought it dragged on a bit too much. Some characters seemed useless and the fights weren't that great. |
Marco86 said: 4/10 Now that it's ended (I hope) my rating should stabilise here. This arc is one of the rare ones where the build up was never worth it. But unlike most people I haven't lost faith in One Piece just yet. Mikasa said: 1/10 I still haven't watched the latest 20 chapters but I doubt they're any better. So my score won't change and I already voted. Oh boy, you gave it such a low score yet haven't even watched the worst part yet. There will be a lot of skippable chapters (like the last one), Doffy will become a fodder and the whole "Luffy must be the one to fight the main villain" formula will be brought to a whole new nonsensical level. Still, 1/10 is too low, I mean how would you rate LRLL arc then? Simply a 0/10. As with Fishman Island. Zero redeeming factors. PH I gave 1/10 as well because the end of 698-700 were cool and Doflamingo upped the ante, though now that he turned out to be a joke it should technically be a 0 as well. |

The post time skip arcs aren't perfect but you are just exaggerating as hell 0/10? 1/10? C'mon Why are you even reading at this point if you hate it this much? I'm not. If I never liked anything about the arc why give it points? Pity points? I don't even know why I put up with it anymore. This recent arc was the last straw, if the next doesn't impress, I may have to drop the manga as well. |

| Isn't over but right now 8/10. |
 |
| Overall it's probably is a 7-8/10 It definitely had it's moments but it was too dragged out. |
 |
| 5/10 Those side characters dragged the story. It consumed a lot of pages. I just hope Oda would give a good role on those characters. |
| 4/10. Only thing that got my hyped was Sabo's return. I still remember that chapter. Great stuff. In fact, anything with Sabo was pretty good, and a breath of fresh air in this very long arc. I didn't even give a shit about Gear Fourth. |
| Seems many people are giving it 1/10 and other low scores |
| End Zionazism |
| Potential was 10/10 with the dragging I'd say 8/10 |

I get why people are upset, it was pretty hyped, and Doffy himself was a pretty hyped villain, it just didn't do that much (for me), fights were underwhelming, Doffy vs. Luffy was somewhat decent, but the whole 10 minutes stuff, was 'meh' for me. Hope it'll be better in the future ^ ^ |
| I'd give it a 6,5 First half was really nice. Dofla, the toys, the Mera Mera no mi, Sabo, Big Mom, CP0, Sugar fainting ... 10/10 Second half was terrible. The flashback and 1 or 2 other chapters were cool. Other than that it was shit. 50 chapters that should have been done in 25. 3/10 |

| 8.5-9/10 It could have been shorter.Anw this arc is one of the most important ones for what is going to unfold but I'm not here to convince people or to try and change their minds. I will agree in a certain degree with the OP about DDs crew,it was disappontment for me. |

Other than that it was shit. 50 chapters that should have been done in 25. 3/10 Yeah, first 40 chapters of this arc had been amazing, but then Oda made some very stupid decisions that dragged the arc forever and made the climax underwhelming. Nevertheless, there were plenty of great moments spread throughout but the climax as a whole did not live up to the expecatations. So 7/10 from me so far, might bump it up to 7.5 or even 8 if Oda drops something amazing at the very end. |
 |
| 3/10. It was long and boring. So boring that I stopped like half way now I need to catch up. |
| 10/10, like all the arcs from One Piece. |
 |
| Some of you guys are really harsh lmao. Some crazy stuff happened in this arc. Big Mom showing up and Sabo returning. These events made this arc the best post-time skip arc so far. I was happy until the birdcage came into play. That's when the arc started to drag out and become dull. I'm sure Oda has his reasons for doing this. Whenever he spends so much time on an event, it usually has great significance later on in the story. I assume the straw-hats will face something similar in the future and thus be able to deal with it more swiftly thanks to this experience in Dressrosa. I'll give it an 8/10. A definite improvement from Punk Hazard |
| i rate it 7/10 i don't know why but the 'hype' starting post-marinefold arc has been down from Epic to standard... anyway i'm glad this turned that way... have more respect for Fujitora... i hope he's the same type as Smoker and Kuzan.... |
 |
| -Perfect First Half, Classic One Piece at it's finest. +2 -Introduction of new character that I quite like (Fujitora, Barto, Cave n Dish, Sabo) +1 -Luffy made a lot of new friend that actually able to help him in the future. +1 -The birth of new God. +1 -The Villain(Mingo and d'gang) and the supporting cast(Kyros, Rebecca, Viola). +1 -Luffy new Gear. +2 -Zoro new 'Black Sword' and Sabo win the Flare Fruit.+1 -More insight to the future event (Fujitora motive, Reverie, Kaido etc) +1. -Law Past with Corazon and some info about the D's. +1 -No Sunny team showed since they're last suicide mission. -1. -Really Dragged out second half with the Tontatta and stuff -2. Overall 8/10 |

| For me, this was the worst One Piece arc, unfortunally. It had so many great possibilities, and the only good things were Law's past and Usopp becoming a hero. - Corrida Coliseu? Bad. - All the side characters introduced? Terrible bad. - Dozens of chapters dedicated to these people that we didn't care. Not meaning the royal family, but about those fighters. - Half of Luffy's crew disappeared. - Fujitora and Sabo were both underused. - All the fights were fragmented and diluted during so many chapters. Trying to follow Zoro's fight was a nightmare. - Gear 4th. Urgh. - The final battle was just... lame. - All this dragged over 2 years and a half. I really hope that Oda gets his s**t together for whatever comes next. 4/10 |
| It's a 7.5/10. Like the majority of people say, the buildup of this arc was really good, it brought in new characters and questions.But the arc dragged out too long, and was quite poorly written. The reveal and confirmation of Sabo to still be alive was definitely worth the hype over with him eating the Mera Mera no Mi, but still was given no coverage pre-timeskip on what he was doing (I assume this will be shown later though, maybe soon). Fujitora is definitely the best Admiral currently now (of course, we havent seen the other new one), but how humble he is definitely makes him to be a good guy. New pirates were alright, but I think were given too much time and dragged out. Oda spread out different fights and keeps jumping one from another which made it lack focus, and thus, lowered the enjoyment of any fight in the series. It's also ridiculous how weak Doflamingo's executives are, far from their Captain's power level, it surprises me how they were able to fair off in the New World with that kind of strength, they were utterly portrayed as fodder in this arc, each and every of them were defeated with a single attack which seemed easily avoidable. Even the coliseum fighters are fodder, except for Bartolomeo, and the Tontattas. There were a lot of characters that shouldn't have the amount of screen time that they were given. Just like how Kuroko ended, I felt like Luffy won against Doflamingo due to the sake of him being the protagonist, in reality, Luffy should never have been able to beat Doflamingo in a one on one (though there was some part of Law helping him defeat him so that can be used as an excuse I guess). |

| I give it a 5.5/10, It had some awesome characters and scenes, some terrible characters and scenes, that were mostly surrounded by mediocre to decent setup chapters. The pacing is the worst One Piece has ever been, that wouldn't have been so bad if it wasn't spent mostly on characters I didn't care for like most of the gladiators, the dwarves, Viola and Rebecca, random citizens etc. |
| I agree with some of your points OP. For me it's a solid 8/10. The arc dragged on a bit too much towards the end. Some characters were pretty disappointing, especially Rebecca. I also don't like the way Gear 4 looks aesthetically, though I like the idea. I did enjoy the flashbacks, the town + Colosseum, Kyros, Tontattas, Viola, most of Doffy's crew and the new Admiral. Overall, I think it's the best arc post-timeskip, closely followed by Fishman Island. |
 |
| Enjoyment = 6/10 Objective rating = 6/10 |
 |
| 5-6/10 mediocre arc, even fishman island was more interesting than this garbage |
| 8/10 would be 10/10 if it didn't drag on. it had boring parts about the tontattas/people running away etc |
| I'm still at the Punk Hazard arc but a friend of mine is hyping the Dressrossa arc like crazy. He told me that the Dressrossa arc is better than the Marineford arc. Is that true? Kinda looking forward to it. |
