Second-stage Midboss Syndrome
The Funimation Dub did run on Cartoon Network for a while, but I honestly don't ever see One Piece making it back on US television. I don't think it's all 4kids fault, either. It certainly didn't help matters, but they had other terrible dubs that turned out popular. There's something about One Piece that just doesn't click with the mainstream US audience. gently caress if I know what it is, though.

With the new episodes licensed, does that mean they're going to start putting up new dubbed episodes on the site again? I don't remember what the last dubbed episode was so I can't tell. A friend of mine who I got into the show (but doesn't watched subbed anime :smith:) has been waiting for new ones for a long time now so I'll be happy if that's the case.

They stopped at 206, which I think is the end of the G8 arc. Well, technically those were done before the first two seasons, so it's been like 3 or 4 years since any actually new episodes have been dubbed. Dubbed episodes of Davy Back arc should pop up on the site around summer 2012.

Anyways, That episode was amazing. I didn't want it to end :( That one-handed Gear Second activation was badass as hell. Also dodgin' lazers. And those reaction faces were great, classic One Piece. gently caress it, the whole thing was fantastic. I really can't wait to see the Fishman Island fights nimated now.

All of which makes me think Coby's plot was planned to run alongside Luffy's from the start, and that he'll face Luffy as a serious enemy much later on in time.

As structured and thought-out as One Piece is, I highly doubt that Coby was ever intended to be a throw-away character. I would venture a guess that Coby's role was probably determined before the character was ever even written into the manga.

Poor Robin. She's the only one without friends to stop by to see her off.

Well if the Revolutionary Army showed up, it would have been sort of a big deal.
