i am SO excited for dressrosa! its my fav arc in the entire series with my fav villain in the entire series! u are going to love this one so much
Miniature rant time. I am not a fan of a certain aspect of Monet's death (even though her death scene is masterfully done). That aspect is If Monet had not been very conveniently stabbed at that exact moment, everyone except Caesar would have 100% perished. One of the themes of this arc is Zoro's speech that "this was just the beginning of the New World" and how the Straw Hats needed to take things more seriously. Shortly after that, Zoro leaves Monet alive in the biscuit room after purposely not using his Haki to kill her and just... walks away after Tashigi slashes her a single time??? 😭 Zoro's careless decision would have cost them all of their lives if they had not been bailed out by pure luck. And none of the Straw Hats even know that almost happened, so there is no lesson to be learned since it all worked out by some miracle. Even if the nuke button did not exist (cause Zoro didn't know about it), Monet is very strong and could quite easily kill some of the less powerful Straw Hats while they were separated. She could sabotage the Straw Hats as a whole in any number of ways. I cannot even give Zoro or Tashigi the benefit of the doubt in thinking she was going to die on her own. Fact is, she was not only NOT close to dying - she was able to completely stand up and walk to the room with the nuke button. These are two expertly trained swordsman, so I do not buy that they can't judge the lethality of a sword wound they inflict or witness. Anyway, just wanted to bring this up cause I think it was a rare writing miss from OP that was not consistent with one of the important themes of the arc.
I will also say the Arc after this one is so full of flashbacks and recaps and stuff that it is famously super bad, you could probably skip a bunch of it, cause I believe you actually could save hours over the course of that long entire arc
Unfortunately, as a first time watcher he doesn't really have the option to just skip scenes since he does not know where the empty scenes are or how long they drag. Even on rewatch it's often hard to skip around effectively without missing canon scenes because they will alternate bad anime pacing with normal manga pacing quite often. That's why I think OnePace is a beautiful thing, but I would not expect a reactor to use or endorse it for reactions.
The letter at the end of sentences is the Å, scandic letter, its probably just a formatting error in the subtitles though when they try to emphesis certain words.
The fact that he didn't recognize who that was at the end is going to make his reaction to the end of 624 even crazier. Man, next week can't come soon enough 😬
IKR. It's actually way better for us that he did not realize. Now he is going to flip a table when he sees who it is and when they appear.
One whole arc of pronouncing Mocha wrong lmao
jack we weren't joking about the pacing....
That was the longest tunnel in existence. Or the slowest moving train cart. Probably both lol
JACK MOVE UR HEAD TO THE LEFT SO I CAN PUT MY ONE PIECE WINDOW WITHOUT BLOCKING UR REACTION
insane reveal, also if you go back to ep 601 when everyone is in the same cage, caesar was about to squish "smokers" heart which would have revealed that it was actually monet's ruining everything but it was monet herself that interrupted it, ultimately unknowingly killing herself
Ahh the good old one piece fake out! Doffy enters the fight... lets see how this turns out....
these are episodes 620 and 621 btw
While one piece is the best thing ever, the pacing at times is painful
True true, ive felt its gotten better over the past years tho, still painfull here and there tho
lmao same episodes
I think it’s a typo lol
confused me for a min
