Water 7 Arc discussion (Anime Only)

[d.Lughie]

maybe World Goverment Saga

Saga is comprised of couple of arcs right.. so W7arc+ELarc = World Government Saga

[noktown]

Hmmm,i think Luffy has to defeat Blueno easily...,cuz if he's the one who's gonna fight Lucci,then he shouldnt waste his power too much

Spoiler for 267:

Pretty awesome episode, the animation wasn't all that great but they covered alot more than usual. Baskerville is hilarious and the dog bridgade were okay. The highlight for me has to be the yokozuna+zoro badass combination to make rocketman fly. Next ep airs the 25th.

[Chuixupu]

Yes, more like two episodes on the 25th.

[striderm]

Don't forget that there's gonna be episodes the next following 2 weeks after that too. woo for no breaks for awhile. take a guess at the episode title for July 2nd.

[Tommy]

You are the second person to say it.... this new OP is cool. The first person to say that would be.. hmm.. I'll call my own number and say "me". Can you believe Chucky doesn't like it? And how about episode 267 after a uber crappy 266? I was all gett.. err.. I mean giddy as I watched it. I think the animators are intentionally lining up the episodes in a such a way, crappy-->crappy-->Good--->crappy-->crappy--->Good, so the Good episode would seem really good when compared to the crappy one. If the trend continues, the upcoming episode should be a crappy one. Hippy!

My poor Robin!

[hi no ken Jebus]

Spoiler for eps 268+269:

Well this was awesome and with lot of action. The only two things that detract from the overall awesome was the occasional weird art/animation but otherwise solid episode. And the other being a good chunk of the 1 hr special devoted to a montage of luffy's adventures since he met coby which was kind of cool seeing some of my favorite moments but it took away time from the actual episode.

Lots of good stuff like Zoro mocking Pirate A(sanji), Sogeking's disappearance, Spandam abusing Franky and betraying Robin, and marine asskicking action. Anywho it ends with luffy facing off against blueno so next one is going to be explosive which airs on 7/2.

[monir]

A very good episode and what's more, the lack of re-caps in the episode, but the absence of time-wasting-material was made up by concluding the episode 4 minutes earlier than the projected time. Yet, the episode covered a lot of stuff which didn't leave room for any criticism other than, why would the episode end with a patented Luffy-smirk and the line "till death" as he finally runs into one of the CP9 for a rematch. The anticipation for the next episode is a killer.

Oh, and, awesomely cool Sogeking almost jeopardized the secrecy of his true identity. His mask fell off. Then, he was almost strangled by the guy who uses rope from Galley-la-Company who was trying to help Ussopp to get on those dinosaur??

Ahh dont worry luffy always pays back a thousand times back to those who hurt their nakama. JUst hope spandam survives the first 100 times.

[marvelB]

Yeah, the double-ep was a good one, though they added a whole bunch of filler of everybody fighting the Marines (to be expected, of course). My favorite part of the episode(s) was Spandam abusing Robin and Franky, though the little conversation between Spandam and Lucci is an honorable mention:

Spandam: So, what DO you desire?
Lucci: Blood. As long as I'm here.... even a murder can be justified.



And the next ep starts the fight between Luffy and Blueno! This fight was so awesome in the manga... I hope the anime version does it justice!

That's funny, that part wasn't in the manga. In fact, you never see what happened to Sogeking at that moment at all, and the readers are left with the same impression as the rest of the crew for a while. I remember after the chapter where they get pulled up on the king bull, someone in the chapter discussion thread was like, "hey, where is Sogeking? I didn't see him on the bull..." and we're like, "He's probably there, but it wasn't important to show him in the panel". Then the next chapter we find out he never made it on to the bull.

Spoiler for ep 270:

Well we're back to the usual 3-4 min recap in the beginning. Good episode, Oimo tells Usopp about the deal they have with the marines about guarding the gate in exchange for Broggy and Dory. Usopp tells them the truth and that they met them on their way. The marines take down Sodom, and Luffy hits Blueno through his tekkai and catches him while in Soru. That's pretty much all that happened in a nutshell. Next one airs 7/9.
