Seriously, this episode looked weird as hell, the animation at some moments was good and then weird, then good and weird at the same time, the pacing was awkward too
Kid should basicly blitz Apoo, and not prepare an attack for 1 whole hour and chase him in slow motion

 

[Blother Fertitta]

Is it just me or it felt like nothing happened? Also Apoo was more impressive in the Manga. Anime he’s just annoying like the drummer screaming banshee toys from Dressrosa.

If I'm not mistaken zoro has been killing alot recently but the episode was OK not regular I'd say

Yeh episode was definitely weird in pacin

That Kid's Punk Gibson does'nt have that much impact in the anime compared to Manga tho

 

[Igor_akainu_redog]

I think the pace is tipical one piece.

I think the animation and art was Very good.

Only found weird the lack of OST in many moments, and more fodders to make It more crowded

How? Kid just lift a lil metal up in the air and scream anime made him more savage

Bruh you acting like Apoo was in close combat and zoro and luffy was close to him LOL

Yeah I don't know, the animation, the build up is top-notch, but in the manga Kid basically sneak-blizts Apoo. Here in anime they just stand there starring at eachother for like 5 minutes, and the actual punch feels....slow.

• That guy whose face looks like a compressed soda can should consider himself Luffy has the Hulk disease and is incapable of killing anyone.
  
  
• Never get tired of Apoo rapping his dialogue. The man is too underappreciated.
  
  
• Zoro flexed with his swords and it send a shockwave outside Onigashima
  
  
• Warning: Kaidos in flashback are not as big as they appear.
• Kid could ask you for a cup of sugar and he would still wear that sinister smile on his face to make everything awkward.
  
  
• Apoo's attacks hit particularly nasty in the anime. There is no line of sight and the impact happens almost immediately.
• This is your future Pirate King and WSS? Both completely useless before the BOOM CHIKA SCRATCH
  
  
• An entire minute of Kid building up his attack makes me feel somebody should have done something. Looked fantastic though.
  
  
• I'm sorry Apoo, but that big metal pimp hand was a long time coming.

A really nice treat of an episode. So much action in this one and practically everything from Luffy and Zoro owning fodder, Apoo's DJing and attacks, ending with Kid's ass clapping all looked amazing. The magnetic lightning from Kid's power and the environment getting ripped up was easily the highlight.

The OST I wasn't so hot on. Silence doesn't work too well in fight scenes and Apoo's choices were not befitting on a war starting. Hopefully that now Apoo's table got destroyed we get some proper battle music.

The filler/padding was a mixed bag. I loved seeing the Tobiroppo's individual locations when Queen mentioned them but halting the pace of the episode with entire minutes of Kaido scenes with Kid was unnecessary and should have been trimmed down. A strong start to the raid otherwise and next episode is looking hot too.

The build up with Kidd form his arm is INSANELY COOL but the actual attack itself was kind of just whelming. The build up had this really impressive sense of scale to it that was sort of lost in the actual attack aside from a few cool cuts.

 

[Blother Fertitta]

I rmmbr this chapter made ppl go nuts and ppl roasted the “Fifth Emperor” for months

This episode animated is kinda mid compared to all that buzz, but Apoo ceases to amaze me with how far annoying he could be

 

[Warchief Sanji D Goat]

I'm not talking about that lol. I'm talking about the impact of the fight. The manga is much more intense while anime have Apoo spamming attacks and Luffy and Zoro gets hit left and right and that's it.
