Board 8 > One Piece

(+) Yeah! (+)

Talk about it. I still have to catch up on the manga.

Where's the anime now? I haven't been watching it since Thriller Bark. I was hoping to start again after the time skip.

Good job SuperNiceDog

What episode number?

Why would you skip all the stuff before that? If you start post time skip, you'll see like four or so good episodes and then start the most mediocre arc of One Piece in recent memory. The stuff between Thriller Bark and the time skip is mostly very good.

The recent arc was pretty good once it actually got to the fighting. Luffy knocking out thousands of people with his Haki was awesome.

Thirller Bark was mediocre. And I don't have the motivation to watch all the episodes I didn't see.

Hmm I might have misunderstood you; did you read everything pre-timeskip in the manga?

Anyway, the timeskip starts at episode 517.

Yeah I still read it, I just didn't keep up with the anime after Thriller Bark since it was so underwhelming compared to Enies Lobby.

When I say "behind in the manga" I mean like 5-10 issues.

Oh on that note, are there any videos on youtube I should watch as far as fights go in the Archipelago?

Links would be cool too.

In fact if you have links to any awesome fight in the anime, I will watch it right now because it's been so long since I've seen any of them.

I'm not really sure what specific things to recommend watching; that question sounds totally up SHINE's alley, though.

Yeah I was hoping he was up right now to contribute to this topic. Apparently not.

Oh well, I'm drunk and tired now, probably going to bed soon anyway. Hopefully we can get SHINE in here later.

First episode after timeskip is 517, the latest episode out is 529, which is early Fishman Island.

Catch up on the manga, cause the latest three chapters have been especially interesting.

Awesome fights in the anime? Kizaru and Sentomaru vs. Straw Hats were made better in the anime imo. Episode 404-405.

Also pretty much the whole Marineford arc was cool in the anime too, but Whitebeard vs. Akainu was made less violent.


So are you just looking for good fights throughout the whole anime?

--
Easiest bracket ever, yet we all failed!
Well except SuperNiceDog, of course!

Well I'd prefer watching the fights that took place between Thriller Bark and now, since I never watched them.

Also catching up on the manga now holyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy f*** Luffy just challenged an Emperor holy crap s*** just got real.

*Semi-spoilers *

Yes such a great chapter! Can't wait for the next. The Marine incident and truth about Shirahoshi was also very interesting.

Well I'd recommend Whitebeard vs. Akainu even if it was made less violent.

For something else, the Sabo flashback was made really great in the anime, honestly I think that's Toei's best work so on One Piece so far, even if it's not really a fight, you should still watch that. Starts at 493.

--

Which was the Sabo flashback? I get so uninterested sometimes in flashbacks that I just kinda skim through them >_>

*Semi-spoilers*

Luffy, Ace and Sabo flashback, the one after the Marineford arc. Becomming brothers. With the Dadan family and all. Though I guess if you're that uninterested in flashbacks you might not enjoy it that much. You should still try though.

The big spoiler during Marineford was made very touching in the anime too, and Luffy on Amazon Lily was made even more interesting.

--
Easiest bracket ever, yet we all failed!
Well except SuperNiceDog, of course!

Yeah, I probably won't watch the flashback. How was Luffy on Amazon Lily made more interesting?

Also Shanks was part of the Marineford arc, right? I forgot what he did there, any cool fights?

--
~Halo Live, fight, survive, as a family.
http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/7469/batfamily.jpg

When I said interesting, I meant more hillarious.

*spoilers below*

Yes Shanks was there, but he didn't really have any fight. He did block Akainu's magma attack saving Coby, after that he was the one of put an end to the war.

--
Easiest bracket ever, yet we all failed!
Well except SuperNiceDog, of course!

How'd he put an end to the war? I might actually go back and watch the Marineford arc... or at least the end of it. I just wish there was, like, a nice streaming site or something...

ALSO. A few episodes into the timeskip, now that I see Franky's new look animated, I can say for sure that I don't like it. I preferred him pre-time skip. He's the only one I can say that about.

Sorry, it's late and I've been reading a book for the past 4 hours or so.

I am so friggin' stoked. Luffy just finished one 'war' and now he declares a bigger one. HE IS SO BADASS!

"What about the lion from Lion King?" - SuperNiceDog

Luffy has always been badass, and now with this whole "I stare at you and you're knocked the f*** out" power of his, he's gotten even more badass. It's awesome.

Zoro too, with his scarred eye and everything. It just screams badass. And when Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji walked into Otohime's room to scare away that one villain guy (don't remember who he was), oh man. I just love when the main characters we've grown to love have awesome moments like that where the enemy knows they're f***ed.

--
~Halo Everybody run!
http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/6195/furriese.jpg

I know, and the best part about this little fishman island squabble is that we literally saw them 'warming up'.

Luffy had to sort of go all out because he was trying to destroy Noah, but he barely broke a sweat dispatching Arlong-lite. Same with the others. Zoro almost fell asleep fighting that one guy, and HE took out Arlong-lite in one swipe.

I'm anxious to see them in a fight where they have to try.

"What about the lion from Lion King?" - SuperNiceDog

Yeah that was pretty awesome. Finally seeing their abilities and how they weren't even bothered by the enemies they had this face this time around. Really sweet.

I just thought of something, I can't remember what it was in the anime. I think it was filler. I think the main enemy guy was Foxy? It was like a game that he made the Strawhat crew participate in. It was one of the times that Sanji and Zoro actually fought together, and that's the part I wanna watch again... like on youtube.

EDIT: Oh and Afro Luffy! That's right.

--

But the anime had some great filler!

And you never hear that about anime.

--
~Halo Live, fight, survive, as a family.

If it was worthwhile filler I'm sure moo-may would've had me watch it.

We marathoned most of One Piece a couple summers ago.

"What about the lion from Lion King?" - SuperNiceDog

Strange because a lot of One Piece's filler is worthwhile. Especially the Foxy stuff because f***in' AFRO LUFFY.

HOW DOES THAT NOT MAKE YOU WANT TO DROP EVERYTHING AND WATCH IT RIGHT AWAY?

AFRO LUFFY!

Afro Luffy can wait.

"What about the lion from Lion King?" - SuperNiceDog

AFRO LUFFY.

I'm really not even sure if that was filler. He was in Jump Ultimate Stars. I thought that game only took from manga... I don't know honestly. I just assumed. I guess if you don't recognize Afro Luffy then it must have really been filler.

AWESOMEST FILLER EVER.

--
~Halo Live, fight, survive, as a family.
http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/7469/batfamily.jpg

I don't even think that's actually from One Piece.

It most certainly is. Look it up on youtube, you'll see his fight with Foxy as well as video game representations of him.

--

http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/6195/furriese.jpg

Davy Back isn't filler. If it concerns afros it's safe to say that it was by Oda's hand.

--

SuperNiceDog. Best friend.

Shanks ended the war simply by being badass. Well kinda, you can watch for yourself, it's the end of episode 488 and then 489.

While it's true that the Davy Back Fight with Foxy did add some filler, what you've mentioned of it was not.

Afro Luffy happens in the manga. Episode 217-219 in the anime. I'm surprised Extha can't remember. That fight with Zoro and Sanji working together happens in the manga too. Episode 211-213. If you wanna watch the whole arc it starts at 207 and 213 through 216 is filler.

And a streaming site you say? If you live in the US you can watch all episodes subbed legally at: http://www.funimation.com/one-piece

--

Well except SuperNiceDog, of course!

Yeah I thought Afro Luffy must have been in the manga considering it was a big part of the series.

It just occurred to me, did anyone even ask Zoro what happened to his eye? I mean, he had both of them before the time-skip, then he comes back and... well losing an eye is a big deal. You'd think someone would have been concerned.

--
~Halo Everybody run!
http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/6195/furriese.jpg

Sanji at least seems a little bit surprised when an old man decriped Zoro by saying one-eyed. It hasn't been confirmed what happened to the eye, but I assume it happened under his training with Mihawk.

Well yeah, considering he didn't have it before training with Mihawk. I hope they show us some of that training, that's one flashback I would actually want to see.

Also watching the anime right now HOLY F*** YES. Luffy destroying the Pacifista. When he dodged the light blasts and said "too slow" I was just like YES SO BADASS.

I can't wait for the anime to get to the main fight of the Fishmen arc.

But they have to be behind, so they can edit here and there use a chapter for serveral episodes, or make an episode about half a chapter, foreshadow things and such.

That's one thing I don't like about most anime. Too much stalling.

On that note I hope we learn how Luffy got that awesome cross scar on his chest.

And that one ghost chick, I completely forgot what her role has been since Thriller Bark. She's an ally now? She was with Zoro during his training with Mihawk?

That ghost chick Persona was sent away by Kuma to the same place Zoro was, which was Mihawk's home, so they kinda just got along ther I guess, since she was the one who brought him back to Sabaody.

I can't find a video on youtube of when Luffy gets that scar, but I can say it happens in episode 487.
