^even if you say no one COULD stop Kuma, it's poor writing that know one TRIED
I mean, sure it was impossible for brooke and ussop to save Zoro from Kizaru, but the good thing was that they atleast tried to do it beyond their range? last i checked a gun or canon should easily be able to get from one side of the battlefield to the other... range is not a issue as long as they have guns and canons Quote:
frankly it would have been a lot nicer to see someone charge in and try to take a shot at kuma, only for one of the VA's to stop the attack and protect him so that he could attack oars... |

Furtharmore, the distance was not THAT great... recall that all of the shichibukai were standing together, and the pirates had advanced close enough that they were able to attack Boa... If the pirates were close enough to attack Boa, they should have been close enough to attack Kuma... not to mention that Kuma is a pretty big target (he's over 20 ft tall) Quote:
And no, the reason no one stopped him in the manga is because in the manga the whole battle looks like it went a whole lot faster... as in, the pirates had no time to react. |

Regardless it did feel weird that Whitebeard tells everyone to give Oars support and you don't really see anyone do anything in that role. Just seems like Oars was left to get smoked with little help. Just feel bad for Oars; guy tried so hard to reach Ace.
Still think the most entertaining part was Boa just smoking a good amount of both sides . Nice to see some other aspects of her fruit that show just how powerful she is.

The manga looks faster because the action is packed in. It's not an instant attack.

Is anyone else wishing that Akainu had caught Coby instead trying to run away. Watching him wet his pants these past few episodes has been so annoying. He was supposedly trained under the supervision of Garp, and he panics at this. He hasn't thrown even a single punch.
This Marineford arc has really given me a better understanding of Garp. I originally thought he wanted them to become Marines because of some sense of arrogance. Now I see what he wanted. He never wanted to be in the position of having to fight his kids.

Clash of the Titans. Like some battle in greek mythology. "Release the Kraken."
The war is really progressing slowly. The pirates take 5 steps forward. Mooks fight each other for 2 minutes. Some major player takes out some pirate red shirts, testing out their power. Then we get 10-15 minutes of flashback and intense talking. |

Interesting translation though regarding Garp. In the manga he said "if i couldve done smth i wouldve" but in the anime he said "if i really was against it i would do smth".
The first one implies limits to Garps power while the second shows hes a monster. But maybe its just nothing or bad translation in the anime. Poor Garp though |

Ace is not being executed because he is a pirate, so much as he is being executed because he is the son of Gol D. Roger. Even if he had lead an innocent, civilian life he would have been killed for fear of what he might one day become... and Luffy, being the son fo Dragon would probably be in the same boat. In essence it was impossible for either of them to lead even a a civilian life (a life where Garp also would not have to fight them) However, becoming marines is another story... By becoming powerful marines they can become great heroes to the world. And similar to how the WG can't really do anything to Garp(ordinary marines probably would have been hanged for hiding Ace and Luffy), the WG would not be able to so easily get rid of Ace and Luffy if they were Heroes... in essence, with enough time and great acts of heroism they might have even been able to reveal what their origins that came from; they would be living proof that the children of villains can transcend their blood Essentially, becoming marines was the ONLY way to truly protect Ace and Luffy from the WG, and it comes with the possible added benefit that future generations may be able to escape persecution based on heritage. Unfortunately, Ace and Luffy end up coming closer to proving the Marine's fears... I say "closer" because while they are pirates, they are not really villains... Though thinking about it, it is actually a bit strange Ace became a pirate when you consider how he felt about his father... you might say that his genes really were driving him to the freedom of the sea. I guess you could say he also had reason to hate the WG since they practically drove his mother to her death, but he never seems to express such feelings so it's hard to say if that's the case; Roger is the only man he seems to express animosity towards. Ya i was little put off by that aswell... in the manga, Garp makes it sound like there isn't anything he can really do |

^ Good post, Slayerx.
This episode was pretty good, but indeed the pacing could have been better. Whitebeard destroying Vice Admiral Ronse was done very well. They really emphasized his rage in the anime, and the animation there was awesome. I also really liked Doflamingo messing around with 13th division commander "Water Buffalo Atmos". His speech about justice has always been one of my favorite scenes in One Piece because it's so true in the real world. Justice always prevails because the winners become justice. Doflamingo is an astute man . Here is the preview for next week's episode: http://www.fujitv.co.jp/GPplayer/e/G...piece&type=flv

absolutely awesome, Dofla doing ANYTHING is 100% pure awesomness and WB just rocks .. he tossed that giant aside after beating him like some towel or something .. he can probably toss around battleships or more (Garp swings an iron ball with a chain the size of a battleship easily)
Garp /sad LUFFY FINALLY dreamteam has arrived and ready to kick ass .. finally some Croc moments |

Oh man that bit with Whitebeard just owning that giant Vice Admiral was awesome. You could see the anger on WB's face when Oars went down..and then just tossing that giant away like it was nothing was just beautiful.
What frightening power |
