I'm Freakin' speechless... I was looking forward to see what toei would do with this part of the arc, and they surprised me a lot, the animation was a whole lot better of what I was waiting for, good job toei.
White Beard looked as badass as he trully is even without getting half of his head blown off. Amazing episode, amazing animation and if the upcoming episodes stay with this quality, it'll be awesome.

This is not a new concept in selling a heel character.

Hint: Pro wrestling. Cowardly heels are among the most famous and most reviled. Ric Flair made a career out of it.

For me, I wouldn't change a bit of Blackbeard's "character" or lack thereof, he's the perfect (soon-to-be) overpowered foil for Luffy. The D who would kill a nakama versus the D who would die for one.

i know white beard still looked badass an epic in the end, and i knew theywere going to censor the head part, but still i do agree that inthe anime he looked 10 times weaker than in the manga, come on as if teach could actually land a hit on shirohige, come on... im still amazed how he beat ace in the first place,ntil nxt chapter he is not that amazing (you´ll understand soon)
and about shouting that one piece is real being a great plot twist later, if you think back every little detai of the past comes back eventuallly, that´s Echiro Oda ,a true genius

Awful. Absolutely Awful! No not One Piece nor the episode. One Piece is one of my favorite animes (hence the 9 rating), but the sheer time wasting per episode is horrid since Marineford Arc. I know they are extremely close to the anime but rather than putting in filler episode scenes in (though they try to but fail with the buggy crap), most of it is with random shouting of

POPS POPS POPS POPS POPS POPS POPS POPS POPS POPS POPS POPS POPS POPS POPS POPS POPS POPS POPS POPS POPS POPS POPS POPS POPS POPS POPS POPS POPS POPS POPS POPS POPS POPS POPS POPS POPS POPS POPS POPS POPS POPS

and before that Ace-Kun Ace-Kun Ace-Kun Ace-Kun Ace-Kun Ace-Kun Ace-Kun Ace-Kun Ace-Kun Ace-Kun Ace-Kun Ace-Kun Ace-Kun Ace-Kun Ace-Kun Ace-Kun Ace-Kun Ace-Kun Ace-Kun Ace-Kun Ace-Kun Ace-Kun Ace-Kun Ace-Kun Ace-Kun Ace-Kun Ace-Kun Ace-Kun Ace-Kun Ace-Kun

Not to mention they have to explain the little things that's so obvious

Random Guy - Pops isnt moving. I cant believe it!
Macro - Yea thats because hes injured.

Well ... no ****

Really hope this all changes when 'THAT' happens, and they either bring out an extremely long and decent filler or they have a break before the next (AWESOME) arc happens. Im still reading the manga but love to see it animated (thus why i read both).


I needed to get that out :D well whether you disagree or not, this isnt the One Piece of old where it all flowed without obvious delaying pacing tactics. Its almost as bad as Naruto. Epic last words though. Felt the epicness just the same when I read the manga.

The declaration of "One Piece exists!" made an awesome impact. I loved the last words of both Ace and WB's; Ace's last words and death left that tearful feeling, and the battle scars of WB's (and the clear back) left a "damn, what a legend" impression.

Great episode, 5/5.

I agree. One of the best moments in One Piece.

Rest in peace Whitebeard.

After withstanding 267 sword wounds, 152 bullet shots and 46 cannonballs, it's gonna sound weird but I'm kinda proud (and I feel truly sad at the same time) of him to die standing! T_T

And yeah this of course...

"Whitebeard is dead.

Even in death, his body did not fall.

His figure, taking down enemies while covered in wounds...

was truly monstrous.

The total number of sword wounds he received in this battle...

was 267.

He was shot by 152 bullets.

And was hit by 46 cannonballs.

And despite all this...

his proud back...

over the course of his entire life as a pirate...

never received a single scar from running away!"



Amen to that.

Absolutely the best episode for me in One Piece so far. Maybe because it's the second* actual death, but Shirohige was really badass overall. The man will be missed.

Was very surprised that Whitebeard had actually nearly killed Teach, i guess his DevilFruit was not as powerful as one thought, well not when he's against Whitebeard. A bit nice to know he was a friend of Roger and a nice message he left before his death. Damn two integral characters have died, bit of a shocker!

This episode has so much info it's groundbreaking. Overall, we are thrown at our faces that there's such a huge secret behind One Piece (that the World Government tries to hide at all costs) that if it's revealed, it will literally throw the whole world into chaos.

Then there's the whole thing behind the D. meaning, which is most likely a lineage of people directly connected to the Void Century and to the origin of the whole mystery behind One Piece.

The strongest Pirate of this Era dies as true warrior, and the most menacing pirate crew in the entire world makes its move. The pieces are moving, and I can't wait for them to keep going.

Once again, the "One Piece does exist" declaration was just amazing. Honestly, it was the one uplifting moment in this whole arc. Fuck yeah, new era V2.

I totally LOVED Whitebeard after this! I'm so happy he said that One Piece is real and that he won't accept blackbeard as the new Pirate King (I would rather have the serie cut off than see THAT happening)... And such an emotional ending... :(

One of the best One Piece episodes and it didn't really hit me until the end of the episode, Whitebeard was truly one of a kind and I love the narration at the end of the episode. Great stuff, I can't say this is one of my favorite arcs in the series but this is definitely one of the best moments.

Aww if it wasn't enough with Ace dying.. now its Whitebeard :-( The fight was amazing as usually.. there was some points where Blackbeard was literally "scared" for his life.. if only Whitebeard was a little younger he could of killed Blackbeard easily.. If i think about it.. Blackbeard isn't all tough about him.. his crew though looks menacing.. :-P
The last dialogue at the end was epic.. Whitebeard dead in style! haha

I saw a Jack Sparrow look-a-like in this ep. Is it just me or has this arc had more chars which actually look like conventional pirates as well as music which sounds traditional with the whole pirate theme? I like it.

You're one heck of a monster... and a father!
The strongest in the world, Edward "Whitebeard" Newgate!
Taken a dozen of stabs, bullets and cannonballs... And a magma hit by an admiral...
Still fighting...
Saved his comrades...
No scars on his back... Never fleed.
Died standing.
And "didn't" die. Just like Roger, by saying that One Piece exists, he started a new era. Blackbeard's Era? HECK NO! Teach is a rookie, a traitor, a coward, a squit....
Whitebeard's spirit will live forever!

"and despite all this, his proud back, over the course of his entire life as a pirate, never received a single scar from running away."

with the camera panning to his tattooed back while he died standing, my reaction: WELL GOD FUCKING DAMN WHITEBEARD > EVERYTHING

this show omg. the last few episodes have been nothing short of highlights in the entire series.

Now that's more like it. In the beginning I wasn't very fond of Shiro's VA but I can say he did a spectacular job in the last few episodes and changed my opinion of him.
The "One Piece is real" gave me shivers. Great episode.

this episode was good. No matter how much times I rewatch this I agree with Whitebeards death it was just heroic in pirate spirit and magnific.
only thing most ridiculous in the whole story of OP till the now was death of Ace. I still can't believe Oda did such stupid thing at the end of arc, with almost no sense of story flow and developement of characters. almost pathetic.

but Whitebeard episode after that managed to make me more positive. though I still think OP is screwed after this arc.. x.x

Who the hell voted "hated this episode" or "it was oK" it must be 1 of 2:

1 - You've read the manga, and it was 10x better

or

2- You simply can't enjoy one piece, give up now!
