anyway i just saw 354.


yeah now i think Brook will be joining them, since they all agreed. Brook is getting served by that sword zombie though

im surprised the emo effects on Luffy and Sanji after the ghosts went through them lasted for just a minute. I thought they'd remain depressed for ages

You know I've been wondering how they were going to counter Perona's ghost, from previews it seems Usopp might be the answer ^_^

I'm starting to get pump up now. You'd think it would be obvious who each are going to be fighting but I'm not so sure, hoping for Chopper to whoop that Doc's *** on top of Sanji(man was he fired up) laying the beat down on Absalom.

i think many people liked Crocodile and CP9. When i say "like" i don't mean that i hoped they won the fight against the Straw Hats but they were cool and interesting characters. Whereas this Gecko Moria guy just comes of as an annoying and boring weird fat ***

All current villains are kinda gay, not a big fan of it. Brook is what made it better for me though...

The villains are ok. Perona and the Bear are pretty funny. Moria isn't the super cool villain I hoped for but he's ok. You're right Brook is what really makes this story. He is so cool. Oh and I kinda like that haunted environment they're in.

Yeah I'm not feeling Gecko that much either, in fact I find his underlings far more interesting.

Sanji is just owning Absalom, damn that guy for taking away his dream :lol:

well One Piece is pretty predictable anyway, i haven't read the manga but im sure they eventually kick everyone's *** and get the hell out of Thriller Bark. The only thing i'm not 100% sure of is whether Brook will end up joining the crew or not

We're at 365 at the moment, I don't know I kinda have mixed feelings about these latter parts of TB, been underwhelmed so far. Aside from Usopp/Perona which ended in epic hilarity :lol: theres rarely an Usopp fight I don't enjoy the guy is just too over the top funny, going in & out of SogeKing mode. Glad that punk doctor got what was coming to him for treating poor Cindry that way.

Its getting very annoying watching Luffy chase Moria around when his crew is getting creamed by Odz. He needs to whoop some *** already, anyone's *** would do at this point.

...been underwhelmed so far. Aside from Usopp/Perona which ended in epic hilarity :lol: theres rarely an Usopp fight I don't enjoy...

What about Zoro v Ryuuma? Probably the most satisfying fight of One Piece so far since it was a full-on fight that took nearly a full episode instead of bits and pieces spread out into different episodes.

On a side note though, I was thinking Zoro would at least knock back Oz when he came to rescue Ussop and them. I'm starting to think maybe Oz is a little overpowered...

I'm starting to think maybe Oz is a little overpowered...Yeah that was a good fight, and good point on it being just one episode. I was just expecting it to be longer, guess I grew accustomed to the long drawn out fights they normally deliver.

Up to 371 now and I have to say I've really enjoyed this battle between Oz and the Straw Hat crew, these past few eps. have really showcased how strong they are in group battle(with the addition of Brook of course). I do believe this Oz/Moria combo is a bit overpowered but it seems Nightmare(or should I say Incredible Hulk lol) Luffy is about to change that.

Ichigo-
September 23rd, 2008, 07:16 AM
So, no discussions recently on the fight against Moria. What is everyone's thought on it so far? The combo of Moria & OZ v Luffy's team. The team seemed to be annihilated fairly quickly while Luffy is still lost & f****** around.

Thousand Eyes

Man, what the hell?

What's up with Gecko Moria? He's a Shichibukai, yet he couldn't even seriously wound Luffy like Crocodile did. I was really expecting something crazy after he swallowed 1000 shadows, but he was wasted easily right after. It's kind of disappointing. But, wow, Bartholomew Kuma is the exact opposite. This guy's a complete monster. I don't read the Manga, so I don't know what happens next, but it looks like the Strawhat pirates are finished.

Black Cat

LOSTyears
November 15th, 2008, 06:42 AM
Don't think Moria was the worst villain they've had, probably the weakest in character. His ability was very unique and annoyingly strong up until the end, when you think about it he really didn't have to stay and fight.
But anyway he's done so lets be grateful for that *high five* Luffy Gear Second+Third FFTW!
Interested to see what Kuma has in store, Strawhats are pretty much thrashed at this point.

Ichigo-

I'm actually enjoying the episodes of Brooks past, rather than just being filler its really filling in a gap. Some of it was tear jerking especially with the Rumbar crews final moments playing their last song, oh and lets not forget Laboon's absurd cuteness making some parts that much tougher to watch lol.
Even though we already know Brooks joining the Straw hats I'm still looking forward to 381.

Been a while ^_^ since we're in the 400's now figured it'd be time for a good BUMP.

I actually didn't expect Sabaody Island to be packed with so many goodies, the awesome boat is catching some steam. Past dozen or so have had surprises, suspense and action packed while showcasing some sweet new characters with sweeter abilities. Law(very cool), Capone, Hawkins, Scratchmen Apoo(interesting dude, especially after watching 402) are a few that have caught my fancy.
This particular Admiral seems a bit overpowered though, mixed with a group of Pacifista's makes me wonder how the Straw Hats are going to get out of day 1 no less 3 days.
Anyway we'll see *sits patiently*

There's hardly ever a balance cause they go to the extreme in either direction, everything's on a awesomeness scale. That's one of the many things I love about it, aside from the cast that's another of its driving appeals.

Speaking of which 404 still has me catching my breath I knew somebody was going to pop up and I'm glad it was Rayleigh, wanted to see him action. Then Chopper loses it and "rumbles" out :P sweet, then the real Kuma shows up. Looks like its about to take a breather though but man Sabaody Island is not disappointing, me anyway.

So yeah back to fillers for at least the next few episodes or so, but I don't really read the manga as I'm from ireland and we are way behind on manga issues so its just quicker to watch the anime, but am I right in guessing that Kuma is a sort of "good" shichibukai like Hawk eyes? I mean he's obviously sent the strawhats somewhere a lot safer than where they originally were, I'm making this guess off of the fact that he said something to Rayleigh, right?

I wouldn't consider him cocky at all. He just does what he wants to, and that usually includes taking others down a notch because he's a beast.

Yeah Luffy did get comfortable as did the entire crew in a way, They needed to loose at least 1 battle to make them seem at least human even if it did take an admiral, 2 px1, Kuma and Sentoumaru to take them down!

In my view, they've been pretty comfortable with their strength from the beginning, which is fine. I like Luffy because he doesn't waste time thinking about how weak or helpless he is. When his mind is set on something, he just acts and kicks *** in the process. Also, Luffy and crew don't need to seem human. As Nami points out all the time, Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji are monsters.:P

Figured I'd update my thoughts every 10 episodes or so, by OP standards 10 eps. = 1 of everything else anyway ^_^

Very curious about this Haki("ambition"). Believe this was the 2nd time Luffy's used it on impluse at this point, apparently his is something special. Anyway enjoying the Amazon Liliy arc so far, mostly cause its Luffy-centric :) and Boa Hancock is such a great character to hate. Things are heating up at the moment.

Ussop is in desperate need of a devil fruit power lolI don't know, think he'd might lose that silly charm he does have. Having someone like him on the crew amongst the freaks does keep it sort of balanced. If he did get one maybe a gimmicky power would work.

Kizoku Keenan
August 17th, 2009, 04:26 AM
Yeah I'm guessing this Haki power Luffy used is something to do with "the will ofD" maybe? Has he used this power before without realizing? Obviously Shanks has the same power if I remember correctly when he boarded White Beards ship some of the crew started fainting and stuff.

Obviously Shanks has the same power if I remember correctly when he boarded White Beards ship some of the crew started fainting and stuff.Luffy used it on Duval's Bison before Sabaody Island, it wasn't nearly as powerful as the one he used just recently which I believe was called "Kings Disposition". And yeah Shanks did use it aboard that ship and I think also when he lost his arm saving Luffy from that sea king.

I don't know how they'll pull this effect off in the anime, but the last two chapters have been made purely out of double-page spreads.

The "Amazon Lily" arc will be coming to a close pretty soon. The most recent episode (which was streamed on the official One Piece website one hour after the JPN broadcast; that's back now) revealed Boa Hancock's backstory, however, I didn't think that was an excuse for insufficient characterization (don't ask, it's a long story). Also, for the arc as a whole, I felt that the "family jewels" joke that used in two certain episodes was unnecessary.

In a related note, is anyone catching the simulcast? I'll bet the "Impel Down" arc will be interesting.

Unfortunately, it looks like it might get delayed a little bit since...

Boa Hancock has been hit with an "unknown illness". I just hope that it isn't the result of "man germs"...

Also, I thought the first half felt like filler, even though the episode was canon. Additionally, I noticed something about the subtitles. Navy Headquarters is located in "Marinford" (exactly as written), and Luffy has to save his brother "Portgaz D. Ace". Are these supposed to be the "correct" English spellings, or were they just FUNi's idea? I always though it was "Marineford" (since members of the Navy in the One Piece world are "Marines"), and "Portgas D. Ace".

Oh, and that illness doesn't slow stuff down much as far as I can remember.

Just finished watching episodes 408-415 and it just only proves why One Piece will go down as one of the greatest anime series in history.

I didn't find Amazon Lily as a setting too interesting but when Boa Hancock talks about her past, one just felt extremely sorry for her.

I can't wait to get more detail on what exactly "Haki" is. I like the fact that there is another "force" that can be used to fight logia types.

It's actually HIV and the next 50 chapters the show kinda turns into a daytime drama about her struggling with AIDS and other STIs.

But seriously folks...

Apparently the delay is further than I thought. We won't be going to Impel Down right away...

Instead we will be getting filler episodes based on cover stories that will tell us what happened to the other straw hat pirates.

I decided to use spoiler tags since it might surprise some people.

But it is in the manga, just like the Buggy story and the Coby/Helmeppo story. Camie is actually introduced in the first page arcs is she a filler character?

So the continuation to the latest episode will be in about 4 episodes time? But I guess the wait should be worth it.

Not related to the current arc. It's backstory for the upcoming movie.

Latest episode was back to the main story, I liked the build up episodes for the movie but really couldn't wait until this restarted, Buggy and Mr. 3 cracked me up when they were trying to master a plan to get away from Luffy, now they are on level 3, can't wait to see some serious fights and bad guys.

Yeah I've always liked Mr. 2, he just cracks me up with his antics and he did step in to save the Straw Hats also.

Mizumi
December 28th, 2009, 03:22 PM
Episode 432 was really great, Luffy's reunion with Mr. 2 was funny as hell, Mr. 2's power should make things a little easier for Luffy, I would guess he has been touched by some powerful people in there so he should be able to change into them.

The Buggy Ball was cool, shame Luffy couldn't remember it though :lol: Gear 2 doesn't look like it's going to cut it down there, sure Luffy only hit him once, but he still got up from it seemingly unhurt.

And that will be awesome, I wonder who it will be used on first, or how he will even come to use it, against these guys surely it would have to be controlled to be effective.

Been a while since I've posted here suppose its just proof of how much of a blast its been so far. Fast approaching the eleventh hour of Ace's execution, been a thrill a minute to say the least with a few surprises and a whole lotta old faces. With 5+ levels to go through I honestly thought it would take longer but the pace has been rather brisk(by One Piece standards), finally feels like its plunging into the world of the big wigs. With that said I'm just really wondering(especially after Magellan) when Luffy's going to start using his ambition more prominently, he's got to and quick with the power houses to come.
Looking forward to his team up/break out with One Piece's own Tim Curry ^_^ find Ivankov's hormone power and connection with Luffy's old man interesting.
Anyway probably post again another 10 or 30 so ;) may the awesome continue.
