| If I had to select any OP arc as my least favorite, I'd definitely go with this one, but I'm not gonna lie, it was pretty cool to see that recap of the arc. Now it officially ends next week, and then we'll go into some much-needed filler. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| Need a youtube of that musical recap brought a tear to my eye |
| Goodbye Dressrosa! Glad this arc is pretty much over. It was fun seeing all those characters party together but overall ok episode. Recap at the end slightly annoyed me tbh Next episode should be the last and then a filler arc |
 |
| GOOD WAY TO END THE ARC! LOVED IT!!! YEAH STRAW HAT GRAND FLEET!!! |

They will develop them self's individually hereafter , and will eventually cause a major incident that will go down in history.. love this line so exciting to know if this will be the final battle or before that xd |
Epsilon said: Pretty cool episode, one more ep before Dressrosa officially ends and then into the filler. Can't see it being any longer than 4 episodes if it's just supposed to be like the one they did before Film Z is the next arc really classed as filler? thebrentinator24 said: If I had to select any OP arc as my least favorite, I'd definitely go with this one, but I'm not gonna lie, it was pretty cool to see that recap of the arc.

| Nice ending to the dressrosa arc... |
 |
| Great ending montage and song at the end. Finally the dressrosa arc is just bout finished. The MASSIVE revelations on the next episode though. :p omg i can't wait. |
  |
| Farewell Dressrosa arc im gonna miss you but now we move on to the real stuff. |
| This is one of the few episodes that make feel like Luffy is getting closer to his goal. |
Oh, pitiful shadow cloaked in darkness. Thy actions cause men pain and suffering. Thy hollow soul drowns in thy sins. How would you like to see what death is like? -Enma Ai |
| That was a an amazing episode. That shot of the seven representatives was great. Music was on point throughout the episode. Fujitora thanking Luffy and Sengoku hearing that was funny. And Zoro grabbing Law like that was hilarious as fuck, Hahaha xD I loved how they showed the flashback of all the important moments since the beginning of Dresserosa arc. It was certainly refreshing. This arc may have had it's ups and downs(Animation and pacing wise mostly) but there were some amazing moments which was certainly worth it. Mera mera no mi, Sabo's return, Doffy's and Law's past, Fujitora, Gear 4 to name a few. Watching these episodes week in week out for 2 years. Wow. It's been 2 bloody years. This marks the end of one huge arc. Thinking back, this really has been a great adventure. Looking forward to the filler arc. I'm genuinely excited to see what Silver mine arc has to offer and Toei better up the animation atleast before Zou. That has been one of my favorite arcs in all of One Piece and the best of New World. It certainly was a great episode. And that ending speech has me hyped xD Giving this week an easy 5/5 |
  |
| Oh, thank goodness, this arc is finally ENDING. It's been far, far too long for this day to finally come in the anime (as if it wasn't long enough for the manga before). In any case, I suppose this episode was okay. The recap scenes were unnecessary. We had far more than enough of those, thank you. Whatever. This s***'s ending and that is pretty much all that matters to me. I don't really care if there is a filler next. All in all, it is finally over, and I am ever so delighted for that alone. |
 |
| A great ending ^_^ I love One Piece <3 |
"No matter what painful things happens, even when it looks like you'll lose... when no one else in the world believes in you... when you don't even believe in yourself... I will believe in you!" |
| Dang the arc is over. I'm just glad Luffy didn't accept to be their leader |
| Good episode, Laughed a lot at Luffy's reasoning "I wanna be the King of Pirates but not someone important" XDD and Zoro wanting to drink the sake XD Well he has been taking about living free ever since that promise with Ace when they were kids so it's expected he would still say that. Quite smart of the guys to use Luffy's reasoning against him to exchange the sake cups, Great scene. :D The Straw Hat fleet is now official. Hah Sengoku caught Fujitora xD Nice little montage at the end along with the typical post arc One Piece styled banquets. Cabbage getting drunk was hilarious, Poor Law didn't wanna any of it XD Well I guess Dressrosa is closing with the next episode, It might have been dragged like crazy especially in the anime but it was still a great arc :) |
 |
| Straw Hat Grand Fleet is awesome! I enjoyed this arc a lot. I know it had some issues but overall it was a really fun and ineresting arc. I like Doflamingo and I thought he was a great villain throughout. |
| Nice episode, actually. The arc is ending. About damn time. This was just torture. I honestly hope something like this won't happen again. |

A good time to put it in as a great way to show the fact that the arc is finally going to be over and dealt with. This has to be one of the only anime series (if not the only one) where a filler is actually very much needed, imo. |
| Watched this episode just to see the end of this lackluster of arc. Ep was okay though. |
 |
| Yay the 100+ episode Arc is almost over, but wait 1 episode every 7 days so 700+ days... that would mean the arc has been going on for almost 2 years?... Wow and to put it into perspective the whole Arc was just a single day, Not even that. (not counting flashbacks ofc.) 2 years of our life was like 7 hours in the anime. It's also around 14% of the whole anime. Lets be honest this arc could have easily been cut in half or even a quarter hell most anime are less then 25 episodes total so why is a well established anime taking over 100 for 1 arc? Also that long intro that has been in the anime since the start has probably now taken up a whole day of your life and the unnecessary recap is the bane of my existence. Anyway I can't wait for the next arc and I hope they handle it much better then this one. Not hating on One Piece I just know it can do better then this. |
 |
| I guess this is the first time I think...an OST was played in between...or did I got it wrong |
 |
| Well, there it goes a very very very very very very very very (damn it, it is really too long) long arc, but i won´t say that i hate it, instead i liked it, but i could have been even better with less worthless minutes, and of course with more Brook. Looking forward the next arc :D |
 |
| The king tontatta is such a perv. Meet the Strawhat fleet!!! Time for a new arc!! |
 |
| This arc was unnecessarily long. All those events they showed at the end, could have taken place in 15 episodes, not in more than hundred. |
 |
| Epic episode! Luffy being Luffy all the way, and just when I thought that Bartolomeo won't cry anymore he starts again, I loved it! |
 |
Epsilon said: Pretty cool episode, one more ep before Dressrosa officially ends and then into the filler.

Lets hope the filler is not too long. |
 Fake people have an image to maintain. Real people just don’t care. |
| IT'S HERE!!! MUGIWARA DAI-SENDAN!!!! MUGIWARA GRAND FLEET!!!! Luffy has Just ONE OF THE BIGGEST OFFICIAL Fleet Under his Command....Even if He does not like it at all!!! XD Luffy might want to Be Kaizoku-Ou for it means to Be Most Free in these Seas...but he really should somewhat Expect that he gets Followers more and more he gets the Fame! HAH!!! Zoro, Barto and Co. took the Choice from the Luffy, but hey! He Himself said that do what you Want! XD |

| Of course it didn't went the way it's supposed to be. Not with Luffy anyway. But at least he still got his grand fleet. It felt so good I didn't mind the two opening songs. |
 |
| Hahahahaha This arc was long n heavy, and we loved it. The way the fleet came to be was great. Good guy Fuji. Luffy is officially best gambler. Now, about law...... |
  |
| Funny to see Luffy get so annoyed hehe. Great ending for the arc. I just wish previous eps were handled better w/o that 5 min recap or more. Maybe for the next arc...one can only hope |

Wow and to put it into perspective the whole Arc was just a single day, Not even that. (not counting flashbacks ofc.) 2 years of our life was like 7 hours in the anime. It's also around 14% of the whole anime. It's even worse. The first episode of the Dressrosa arc aired January 19th, 2014, so with the last episode coming next week, it will have been almost 2 1/2 years, and no less than 118 episodes. 118 episodes at 24 minutes of air time. Okay, maybe 19 minutes on average once you subtract the intro/recap at the start of every episode. Still, even at 19 minutes, we are talking over 37 hours for this arc, of which roughly 15 were recaps, 10 were people running around aimlessly, and maybe 12 hours actual fighting and storyline progression. Yep and that is why I dislike this arc with every fiber of my being, Most of it felt like a waste of my time because they fluffed each episode, I could basically sleep on them that's how fluffed they were. And even if I did it wouldn't miss much. Picked up towards the end thank god. |

MahadoKusanagi said: What's this talk about "Mugiwara Grand Fleet"? He didnt accept it. He has nothing and noone under his command except maybe his own crew. But this Arc..............yeah a very long run but in the end it was still a good one. But all in all, there is just one that takes the whole cake from this Arc: Fujitora. What Oda did with Fujitora representing Zatoichi, that was just too great. He didn't accept it because all he cares about is freedom but the other captains used that against him and used their own freedom to take him as their boss anyway. I'm guessing they will just be used as secondary characters like every other group he gets along with on every other island, only difference seems to be they will show up in a big fight in the future. |

| damn son Luffy's armada is finally formed |
 |
| Loved this episode! Can't wait for the next arc!! |
| This was really cool. Luffy now is one step closer to become the pirate king. I liked how Oda managed to give him lots of followers without making it out of Luffy's character. Law still feels he is in a weird place. He is family now, he should feel like on of them :p Goodbye dressrosa, you've been extremely frustrating experience, regardless of the enjoyment moments here and there. Also, how on earth is Mingo still alive. I can't believe I am going to see him again after all this. |
| My Anime List | |
| "I don't want to be important! I just want to be king of the pirates!" Along with everyone else, I went like huh. I mean, I understand... But... Huh |
| dressrosa arc is ended finally ... |
 |
| Pretty decent arc when action happened it was on point. I liked the way they ended it with the Flashbacks. Also Doffy has his awesome glasses back so he'll be alright |
| just because I’ve gotten weaker, doesn’t mean that you got stronger, does it? |
Epsilon said: There's going to be a filler called "Silver Mine Arc" where Luffy and Bartolomeo get captured by the Silver Mine Pirates and have to escape from some fortress. From what I've read about it, the main enemy is linked with the main enemy in Film Gold. So i assume it'll be a few episodes and end just before/as the Film Gold anime special comes out on the 16th(?) of July ah my bad.. but sounds nice xd |
| For all its warts, I loved the Dressrosa arc. There are definitely pacing issues, but that only seriously bothered me while seeing Bellamy bounce around punching Luffy for 25 episodes while Law was getting worked over. Otherwise there were so many fantastic moments such as Law's backstory, Doflamingo being an incredible villain, the return of Sabo, Luffy finally going all out and putting what he learned in the last two years to the test, and much much more. I also loved this episode, it was warm and fun. Luffy got his armada without compromising who he is. If I could change one thing it would be Luffy's hat. I still hate how retardedly big it is now. I don't know why they messed with it. I do wish the show would take a break or have a long stretch of filler. Even though either option would suck, they need to let the manga get ahead more. |
