| So Toei decided to give the pointless first few minutes some decent animation and art but the important bits look like crap? |
| zoro is taking a shit load of time.. |
 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. |
| Lol. That reused stomping scene though. That was so ridiculous. |

| God, after watching some other stuff for the last few weeks I had completely forgotten what a mess One Piece's pacing was. This was soooo horribly slow and nothing really happened. |
| King punch could've stopped him. |
 |
| Jesus they can't draw Zoro's arms for heaven's sake. Like, the guy is super muscular and yet they draw him with straw shaped arms like WTF And Barto is sporting the big ass biceps.. I mean he looks great but why can't they do that for Zoro? He's just suddenly muscular when he's shirtless? Lmao |

| Worst episode in Dressrosa. Literally nothing happened |

| Wow talk about long build-up |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Another drag episode. Hope Zoro finish pica soon |
 |
| LOL, Zoro's little plans were too cute <3 I'm guessing he'll use his long range slice directly onto the ground to blast off...? Unless he wants to ride the King's Punch, but I really think he wants to save that so maybe not. Can't wait to see!!!!!!! :D |
| AW SHIT IT'S BANDANA TIME |
 |
| Zoro's plans had me rolling...then he's just like "screw it! I'll learn how to fly so I can cut him!!" XD I honestly didn't realize I missed Zoro's presence until the focus shifted to him this episode. It felt like we haven't seen him in ages...since we've just had dribs and drabs. Gosh, I hope he gets his own arc like Nami and Robin did. I feel like it'd do wonders for his character in a similar way Law's backstory has elevalated him from smartass cool dude to a fleshed out & relatable one. |

| This episode was a great example of Dressrosa pacing problems. We had Pica walking to the plateau forever, when yes it’s a case of build up and pay off with Pica’s big body, Chekhov’s gun, but perhaps getting to the plateau faster would have made this far more engaging. But honestly, far more important, it makes me sad that people are just waiting for Bellamy to get beat, the moment he does there will be rejoice over the fact that no one cares anymore and we can finally get to what matters. I can’t blame anyone, and I’m the same way, it just makes me sad because this is Bellamy’s last stand, and Luffy fighting his friend, recognizing that it’s the only way to respect his wish for at least an ounce of respect in the flawed life he lived, that’s powerful if Luffy did go through with it. It’s just lost that effect entirely now, I have to doubt if that awesome possibility came to fruition anyone would care at this point. And if Bellamy decides to stop fighting that would make it even worse for everyone! That said this episode had some good content in it, Pica was pretty cute if you ask me. He didn’t even attack Kyros and them, rather he curiously asked them why they care about Riku so much. It caught me off guard, he listened, he heard why Riku is so much better than Doffy and then he went back to Zoro to ask him similar questions, after beating everyone up a little that is. In a funny little sequence of flying at Zoro with his stone face while having a conversation, he expressed how angry it makes him that people put all the blame on Doffy. He is the king, and invasions happen all the time, so why does everyone want to overthrow him?! It’s like he’s actually listening to why people like Riku more than Doffy but he doesn’t like that, he wants to make sure they know his big brother is a man to respect. That’s why I called it cute, he swung around to go kill the former king and make sure that they lose all hope, even if they win, the man they want to restore won’t be there to take the throne. It would certainly throw this battle’s morale into whack! He is heading towards the plateau where Riku, Usopp, Kin’emon and Kanjuro are. If we see Usopp and the samurai as the king's guards, they aren’t useless. Kin’emon can cut steel just as Zoro can, he’s a good and dutiful swordsman. Usopp and Kanjuro are crafty and intelligent with lots of utility at their hands. Zoro may not end up needing them to cover the king, but I do believe they could do something to stall Pica as Zoro reaches them. As for Zoro, he was thinking. Poor guy, he may be great in combat, he has an undying sense of tenacity, he has guts of steel and he has a great sense of danger. But, he can be shortsighted, I don’t look to Zoro for help finding solutions for things in the far future. I can have faith in him cleaning up messes but this was not his forte in my mind. Funny enough as he spoke to Elizabello, I shouted out loud: “is he going to ask Elizabello to punch him to Pica?!?!?!” Right after that, he exclaimed that he would fly to him and chop him up and if he does go by that outrageous idea I thought of, I’ll be glad I thought like Zoro, but I question it because it may kill him, if that’s even possible. Either way, this plan is definitely a Zoro plan. I liked seeing him so worried about his allies. Lastly, Pica is super cool. I find him cute as heck, and his power is exciting. He’s scary, he morphs the entire battlefield, he transforms into whatever he pleases, and he can be anywhere at any time. Going from snake-like bodies with his face, iron maidens, or attaching back to the incredibly large body he’s already made. Like with Viola’s clairvoyance, he makes for a good narrative asset too. |
| It's funny that Pica went through the trouble of learning about everyone's opinions regarding their preferences about who should rule over Dressrosa only to act like a sore loser who's still adamant about Doflamingo being the one and only king. Looking forward to how Zoro will get to fly and chop Pica up as well as the King Punch being used. |

| It was kinda slow, to be honest. But, I'm looking for some Zoro action in the next episode. |
 |
