Another meh episode. I really like Gyatz in this episode with his speech and how he was trying to distract Doffy from Violet and Rebecca but it went for way too long. Longest 10 seconds ever!

The Violet and Rebecca scenes have just gotten annoying at this point.

So happy Luffy is back! Time to end this fight. Hopefully Toei can do some decent animation for next episode.

Still can't believe Doflamingo really just wasted all that time with the 2 girls.

Well whatever, hope Luffy finally beats him down next episode.

Well, Namek is gonna explode had longer 10 seconds ratio. I am glad that it is not like that, even tho it was one hell of a long ass 10 seconds. :D

Has it been explained why Doflamingo always wears glasses? Has he ever been seen without them?

Padded to hell(by my count the first 8 minutes, at least, was reused footage including the op) and tons of shots of everyone hilariously off model, definitely a candidate for worst non-filler episode of the series so far. Which is a shame of course given the strength of the source material.

I'm expecting a ton of fillers after this arc or at least all of the cover stories not yet covered since the next arc seems very story heavy and more about setup than action

Luffy finally back. Although I'm not sure how he plans on beating Doflamingo, seeing as he can barely stand.

Luffy is finally back. YAY!

This arch has really both love and hate Dolflamingo. i always find myself cheering for the bad guy at some point if he is evil enough to get my attention. but i will always be a Straw Hat fan and now that Luffy is back he needs to get his butt kicked.

This episode was alright, i hope the next one is awesome...anyone else also seen the new haikyuu episode. it was great. I hate that they going into a third round, made me cry a little. ...that was off topic my bad

I really loved Gatz's speech in the manga, This one was good but it's really clear how much they dragged it by forcing him to pause and drag his sentences.

The chanting was really well done.

Luffy is back now :D

Doffy's grins are just so devilish, I love it xD

Overall it was a pretty decent episode Imo. Could have been way better though.
One Piece Greatness is cued for next episode, I just hope that Toei animate it well.

Good Job dear announcer in stalling Mingo, it wasn't a pleasant experience for us to watch you, but you did good.
Finally, Luffy is back. For those who say he can barely stand, well Mingo is damaged as hell too.

Doflamingo glasses is his source of power, if he take it off, he will lose all his power and become an ordinary blond man.

LOL I don't think the reason has ever been explained. He wears it to show he is better than others I guess.

I'm not joking tho, do you think Luffy is trying to beat Mingo all this time? Nope, Luffy is trying to break his glass and change him back to an ordinary guy, that's why Luffy keep aiming his attack at Mingo face. What a fearsome glasses.

I think this episode was a nice build up for Luffy's return.

Of course, the pace was slow, the ep had like 5 mins of recap and all the things we complain about every week, but I still liked it.

Not only ther pace is slow, but the animation is pretty creepy too. Look at all these blood veins on Bartolomeo's back. Pretty disgusting and creepy. Not a good way to show that he is giving full power to stop the cage.



At least Luffy is back and there isn't so many ep. left of this arc. Fourtnately not more than 2-3 ep.

Second pathetic episode in a row. 5 minutes pushing, another 10 minutes for a one minute countdown, 5 minutes of Rebecca walking towards Viola and random tears...

and only 2 minutes of pure epicness at the end. But even that was kind of killed by the horrible animation and terrible pace before.

Next episode will probably end the battle. But quite a few episodes before the arc is over. Such a shame, this had the potential to even surpass the Ennies Lobby arc, but with this pacing and animation quality it has become one of the series' worst.

Was an average episode.
I just want to see the end of this arc already! Not saying it was bad, i just thought it was stretched out.. But then again, OP anime has always been like that!
No complaints, OP is still epic .

A generous 3/5

That was unbearable to watch and it's unbelievably ridiculous that the entire minute happening on Dressrosa was the entire episode this week. I can't even appreciate the dramatic buildup by Gyats' speech for the upcoming fight in the next episode.

I'm hoping that Toei redeem themselves for the animation of the final battle.
