Saddest episode in the whole series? I say yes!

Ace's face going splat into the ground was pretty shocking how they did it.

also yessssssssssss first mention of Sabo can't wait for him.

This was definitely the saddest episode they ever had and the show will probably be a bit depressing for a while.

Though his death was spoiled for me so many times that I just gave up and read the manga...my breath had stopped when Luffy was holding Ace body, his hands covered in Ace's blood, and was yelling for someone to help his big brother even though the situation was hopeless; that scene was suprisingly harder to watch then when Ace fell down in front of Luffy and died.

I think Toei Animation did a great job with the episode. I was wondering how they were going to stretch the infamous chapter 574 since it was only 15 or 16 pages long and I was surprised on how well they did it.

At least he died knowing the answer to his question he's been asking since he was a kid and a smile on his face like his father.Ace was one of my favorite One Piece characters and he will definitely be missed.

If Luffy doesn't go balls-to-the-walls-nuts after what just happened, I'll be pretty upset. I mean, look at how he reacted after the Tenryuubito shot Hachi. And this is his frickin brother. He needs to be pissed off and kick a lot of marine ass.

We need to keep in mind how little strength Luffy actually has in him though, plus I am pretty sure despair pretty much owns any anger he might be feeling.

Totally looking forward to Whitebeard kicking alot of marine ass though : )

Tears in the eyes will be the normal here for the one's seeing the scene for the first time. 5* because i just love the Garp/Jinbei moments and the speech of Ace :')

Now about the preview, that is really boring but understandable :X

It's sad to see him die, this episode was done extremely well.

He must be devastated, everyone must be. Sengoku having hold him down, Garp really does care about his family, even if they're pirates.

A sad episode, but it is among the best episodes I have seen in One Piece.

What was the point of adding all those stupid dialog? It took away from the impact of the episode. So now Luffy begs Iva chan to inject stuff into Ace and then she tells him Ace cant make it? WTF?!!!!!!

ODA did it perfectly. PERFECTLY! They should have stuck to that. All the added dialog and action just made this one of the most shitty episode ever. Ridiculous. Complete fail episode for me. A total 1.
With this episode they should have stayed free of filler and stuck completely to cannon. So so pissed. I have read this particular chapter in the manga over a dozen times, and I get choked up every time, but watching this all i could do was roll my eyes over and over again.
FAIL EPISODE IS FAIL!

It was more sad in the manga. It had more impact imo compare to the anime. I know the episode was sad but the last part with Luffy crying looked funny. Anyway Ace is the first character that is important that got killed in OP right? I don't remember anyone important in anime or manga that died before him.

Something hit me when I saw the episode play out, intentional or not, that I think makes it for me. Luffy says "I'll save you even if it means death" at one point, and it seems like it *did* mean death, but he also succeeded in saving him from the question "should I have ever been born". The Whitebeard Pirates and Luffy showed Ace his life was worth living, and although it also meant his death, he was "saved", leaving him happy at his end.
