I wouldn't be too dissapointed by filler. Although the small, single ep fillers might be crappy, G8 was as good as a normal story arc! I didn't even know it was filler until someone told me!

Same here. G8 was freaking great, one of my favorite arcs.
 
I thought ch.495 was great.

Sure it's just an action chapter, the the action was really good and the art and layouts were some of the best in a while. The part where zoro leapt up and cut the building into pieces and then Sanji kicked them was awesome. Also the frame at the start of the battle with everyone looking up at Oz was really cool looking.

Oda is definitely in his HQ gear right now for what's probably the final battle. :D

Are they going into filler on the anime? I figured they would, but with my very small knowledge of the next arc the opening looks like they aren't.

They are going into the Ice Hunter filler arc for about 13 episodes and then doing the Thriller Bark arc for the rest of the opening. Hence why the opening has Thriller Bark stuff

I'm loving how they keep having team attacks in. It makes me hope that Moria and Oz are taken down by the Strawhats as a group instead of just Luffy doing everything like usual
 
Holy shit, the episode 325 is the whole Ace vs Blackbeard fight?! What a surprise! We only see Blackbeard divulging it's power in the manga. Best filler evar.

That isn't filler at all.
 
Anyone wondering how (manga)
they'll deal with Shichibukai always gaining back members? I mean how is Luffy supposed to beat them all if they keep respawning >_<?

Originally I thought the structure of the manga is that Luffy or another character would have to take down every Shichibukai, as well as every Government super power boss, before becoming the pirate king. But looking at it now I think it's not really a Bleach/Naruto/Kenshin adventure and that sure Luffy will meet some shichibukai or government dudes along the way and take them down, but becoming the pirate king doesn't really entail having to fight everyone, just make it to the end and find one piece.
 
I got my Portrait.Of.Pirates Luffy & Nami!

They're beautiful. I didn't expect them to be as big as they are, and the detail is gorgeous. Simply amazing pieces of art. I think I'm addicted to POP collecting now. Bring on Ace, Vivi, and Franky!

Yeah, the first half of new chapter was "hahaha, awesome!"
 
Are we allowed to talk about fansub groups in this thread? I ask mainly because I'd just like to know the name of whichever group is the best to look for behind K-F, as I'd seen K-F mentioned on the first page, and from my experience they seem to be the best, although they're just horribly behind.

Anime fan-sub groups? No you can't talk about them since One Piece is licensed

That's what makes this series so good man.

I wouldn't be surprised if Blackbeard ended up taking out some shichibukai, he seems to be building up to becoming the strongest pirate in the series. He also seems to have some ulterior motives

hmmm, no, I think shanks will end up being the final pirate crew the straw hats have to battle...his entrance was more impressive in some ways that BBs, and also..BBs crew is pretty funny and unique...but seem to lack any personality, interest...thing I dont like BB as well, is that he is siding with the marines to get his power through them...other pirates move out on their own...plus the strawhats are on another level, they actually challenged the WG...despite his power...BB is actually playing catch up to the SH, they are ahead in the game...For me WB, shanks and Dragon will turn out to be more powerful than blackbeard...they should not be underestimated. I like BB, but combined with his crew, I just think he would make a terrible endgame baddy compared to shanks etc...shanks crew have the ambition/character and the attitude

yet you shouldn't underestimate the power of the darkness fruit. no wonder teach wanted it so badly, the fruit power is twisting the whole "strongest pirate in the sea" game
 
I'm right at the tail end of Little Garden. I reall enjoy this series I'm watching it online, does anyone know of other sites I watch this at?

I watched most of it at stage6 here: http://stage6.divx.com/One-Piece

It seems that about half the episodes have been taken down though. I don't know what happened.
Click to expand...
I've been using sidereel to watch, they link to stage6 too. I was asking because like you said some of the episodes have been taken down. So I was wondering if there was a another place that has full episodes up.
 
Too busy to look for manga so I'm asking here - is it a new story arc or just a filler starting with ep 326?
 
There's no one piece chapter next week :/

nelsonroyale said:
probably the best arc yet...though I find myself saying that every new arc...
Nightmare luffy is pretty tough, eh?
Click to expand...

Obliterating Oz and Moria in one chapter? Yeah he's pretty powerful.

This has been a pretty good arc and I'm sad to see it go. Though its probably not 100% over with since Kuma is still around
 
I wonder if
luffy will achieve that level of power by himself by the end of the series...chances are absolutely...infact I reckon Whitebeard has that level of strength... damn I love this series

Probably

There is no way this arc is over yet. The shadows haven't returned, the zombies are still out and Kuma's teleporting around. I do wonder what will happen since the sun is starting to rise though.

I have to say
I usually really look forward to the end of arcs cause something big almost always happens. I expect the same for Thriller Bark
 
That was a great chapter

Team work attacks have been really awesome in this arc. Now its time for Moria to rise for the final battle

Yeah, good chapter. But jeez, surprisingly violent for One Piece. I haven't seen something that violent in OP since
Luffy got impaled by Crocodile

I was shocked that they actually killed Oz, especially since it was Chopper's plan.

Doesn't really look like they killed him, just shattered his spine. He's totally immobilized now. Besides once they take back Luffy's shadow he won't be functioning anyways
 
what an emotional moment

my man oz got iced.... or re-iced as it were...on another note, I love his constant assertion, 'that didnt hurt at all!!'

a sad day

for some reason this arc isn't as emotional as others for me. Moria doesn't seem as intimidating as say Crocodile or CP9, and his henchmen are very comedic, I suppose this is a mildly comedic arc to come down from the fucking awesome previous ones. Then when this is finished we find out why Bear is there and the badass arc kicks off.

as for Oz not feeling pain, its cos he is a zombie and there seems to be a story strand that not feeling pain is actually a weakness although its abit half hearted and hardly emphasised. Wonder how they will get their shadows back though, should be interesting.

I like this arc better than the last one by a good bit. I think comedy + serious is what OP is all about, and the chapters should make you laugh and also go "Oh SHIT!" during the fights. This arc has had a lot of great humor and some great fights. I agree the main villain is not that cool, but then I also didn't like the
animal
ones from the last arc. Characters like Blackbeard/Whitebeard are a lot more interesting. Hell, last arc I thought the ice guy was the best antagonist character in the whole arc. We're getting closer to the endgame in OP though, so I expect the next arc to deal with some main people. Especially since
Bear
has shown up.

we are just past the half way point, so said Oda himself...the New World is a huge deal...

Also, surely you know the names of the characters if you are a fan of the series, I mean, you prob know character names in games, and One piece has more memorable characters by far than any game Ive played...probably any game that exists
 
Oh here we go! I think its awesome that the final battle is the strawhat crew vs Moria instead of just Luffy

Also Nightmare Moria is awesome, and looks like a Gecko finally

I was actually a little sad at the zombie holocaust that occured though





Oh and forshadowing time
It seems all the Shickibu failed in the New World and thats why they are pirates. Crocidile wanted to be the king of pirates but failed, Moria's crew was killed so he resorted to having an undead crew, Donflamigo hates dreams and Kuma went from Tyrant to government dog. Its an interesting theme between them all. Plus its more forshadowing that Luffy will face insane obstactles in the New World
 
good theories...


this arc has the best fights in the entire series.... probably my favourite villains so far as well, minus the ones who the SH haven't fought/defeated...

if Moria is this tough, and he is a huge step above croc, I wonder how much more powerful some of the New World villains are

definitely one of the most epic series ever in any format
 
spoiler out!

seems like Moria is defeated...luffy uses a combo of gear 2nd and 3rd...Moria says they will meet the real nightmares in the new world


fucking awesome
 
I'm still hoping for Gecko's stitching to split open. Originally I thought it would lead to his final transformation.. but maybe he is really defeated and it will split open to let all the shadows out. And then he'll shrink into a super deformed Gecko like when Luffy recovers from Gear 3.

it seems like spoilers are necessary to talk in this thread. do we need to do spoiler tags all the time?
