Honestly I am more expecting a "MY WILLPOWER IS TOO STRONG TO BE CONTROLLED! RRRRWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!" moment where Luffy fights through the control and knocks Breed's block off. I don't see why Law couldn't just surgery the bands off, but that will surely be attempted at some point.

Shadow0 posted:I really liked Don Krieg... People talk about Arlong Park being the defining moment in the series, but Baratie works so much better for that IMO, partly because Kreig's such an underhanded cowardly shithead. Seeing a guy who thinks he's greater than God have his cheap tricks and armor powered through by Luffy's bare hands is basically the "Holy poo poo" moment where One Piece goes from a goofy children's magic pirate cartoon to a...goofy children's magic pirate cartoon with cool moments.

It looked like Law would have successfully done it, but Luffy stopped him, hence why they bothered to animate Luffy stopping them. So I am trying to figure out what will prevent him from doing it later. But I think we all know to expect another friendly-fire arc like with that seahorse where we get to see the Strawhats fight each other. I'm calling it now, there will be a Zoro vs Sanji battle, maybe Zoro vs Luffy. Though we have a chance to see Zoro vs Brook, but I feel like Brook was never made to really be a "swordsman", just more like a guy that fights with a sword. Maybe this time we'll have some longer battles.

Luffy doesn't fair well against people who are proficient in the use of sharp objects. But yes, that is probably where this is going to go.

I like Don Krieg too, we haven't got many villains that rely on actual weapons instead of a devil fruit power or superhuman strength.

Another filler arc episode this week. I wonder if it's simply going to be Luffy & Law becoming super friends with Ceasar and Chopper as comic relief. If they can't hear the guy in control then he's effectively powerless, right?

I think that may have been the point of the part where Caesar didn't do anything because he didn't hear and then Law looking like he had an idea, but knowing anime-writing, they're probably going to never use this fact.

Between that and the scene where he used the rampaging Luffy to destroy the platform, Law seemed to spend the episode testing the limits of the Pet-Pet fruit. They seem to have complete free will until instructed otherwise. I'm guessing Law teleported both himself and Luffy to safety before they hit the water.

He was killed by a filler character, the greatest twist in anime history.

It was just the usual generic "I won't lose! I'm gonna be the pirate king!" stuff. The opening spoiled a lot of characters, though, including one you aren't supposed to know is working for Doflamingo yet. Oh well! Seeing Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji fighting the 3 admirals was neat though.

I was really hoping that Luffy wouldn't have cared about the fruit. And then Don Quixote's plan to lure him into the Colosseum would initially fail, but then he ends up there later anyway or something. It's kind of not in his character to want the fruit. It's Ace's power, not like actually Ace. And Ace only got the fruit long after they had grown up together. I don't know, it just seems too materialistic for Luffy.

It's not about wanting the fruit so much as not wanting some jerk to grab it. I don't get people acting like Luffy can't get sentimental over something like his brothers fruit, it's pretty in character for him to dump everything just because he'd feel weird letting some random doofus grab it. He does a lot of junk just because the alternative would be boring or sketchy, this is just another case of that as I see it.

Nope, One Piece filler never lasts that long compared to other shonen anime. There were 3 episodes of filler but we've been back in the main story for a few weeks now.

Which is really too bad, we need some filler so the anime team doesn't screw this arc over like they did Marineford or anything post Water 7/Enies lobby.

I feel like it's more about the anime team (s), specifically the writers, getting their poo poo together at this point than it is about the anime not catching up to the manga. Dressrosa in the manga has Oda's breakneck pace cranked up to 11 with a bunch of things happening off page at the same time, the reader only witnessing the results and/or part of the action. Hopefully the anime folks will take advantage of this, fill in those gaps and come up with something watchable for their filler, as opposed to everything moving in slow motion and dragging out every gag.

I really hope so because I feel like I'm about to hate Sanji even more. I thought the whole point of the Strawhats was supposed to be their unbreakable bond. Usoppu's temporary leaving was a huge deal, as was Robin's. Now Sanji's ready to betray everyone because he found a hot girl? I mean All Blue was a pretty lame dream to begin with, especially since realistically it would make more sense near the mountain they came in at, but it feels like he really doesn't care about it that much. I guess all the characters have slowly become characterizations of themselves though. The same jokes have been made too many times perhaps.

Dont get your hopes up because they've had the chance to do that stuff since Marineford and havent done anything but long still shots and stretching out scenes to their breaking point in order to fill an episode with a single chapter. Its been years people, just accept that this is what the show is and will be for quite some time. KoB fucked around with this message at 21:05 on Feb 10, 2014 |

True, they had their chance, but I think this time around the story is written in such a way that they can't not do it the proper way. It might be just me but I think Oda has been taking the anime into account, and written an arc that, unless they do some proper filler scenes instead of their usual poo poo, will feel really weird and disjointed in TV format compared to a comic, where it works just fine. Sort of like forcing them to do it right.

I was one of those people. They have no incentive to do anything different than what they've been doing.

A lot of the Sanji stuff wasn't in the manga, but it did help expand on what he was doing while off panel. Some of the Zoro and Kinemon stuff wasn't in the manga, too.
