I've skipped most of this arc so I had no idea. More annoyed at how it's going to be probably 2 more episodes until they actually heal Luffy.

This is why I advocate reading the manga.
The anime should only a supplement at this point.

Meh I'll get around to watching all of this arc eventually.
I've been sick since Monday which is partly why I've been really down on everything lately.

I've dropped the anime pretty much. I'll probably binge watch dressrosa when its over
I wouldn't advise it. The arc is going to be longer in the anime (102 chapters in the manga, and this is the 101st episode and it's still not over).

Dressrosa is actually my favorite arc but if its as bad as you say I'll probably just pick my favorite episodes out and watcg than.

Get Inside Her!
A few days or weeks pass after Dressrosa in the manga that could easily contain a wide variety of travel filler arcs, kinda hope they do some. Or a lot. Space this shit waaay out.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
It's a terrible word and people should feel bad for using it.

Looks like where going to get promo art drawn by oda for the new Film Gold movie soon (movie comes in 5 months in japan).

Executive Producer: Eiichiro Oda
Film Director: Hiroaki Miyamoto

Scenario writer: Tsutomu Kuroiwa

I like the fact they been working on the script for over 2 years, in most anime movies the script is an after though.
Eiichiro Oda:
"So, I’ve accepted the role of “executive producer” again. Time to make a movie!! The film director is Mr. Miyamoto, a trustworthy man who has been integral to the [One Piece] anime for six years. The script, written by the clever Mr. Kuroiwa, does not disappoint! The animation is done by this guy, and the music by that guy… wait, how am I supposed to advertise this thing without revealing anything!? We still have a lot of work to do, so development will likely continue behind the scenes until it hits theaters. We’re aiming for the summer of 2016! We’ll present to you a cool and gorgeous One Piece like you’ve never seen before! Please hold on tight to your seats as you wait for it in excitement and anticipation!"
Tsutomu Kuroiwa:
"My goal was to make a profoundly entertaining movie that would knock the socks off people from all over the world. I’ve spent over two years to refine my script, adding everything from excitement and humor to emotional moments. The days I’ve spent discussing the movie with Oda and Miyamoto were some of my best. At times, we worked on the movie during takoyaki parties and barbecues, and it was as if I’d hopped onto a ship and ventured on a great voyage. I am certain that this will become an amazing and unforgettable movie for many people. Please look forward to it!"
Hiroaki Miyamoto:
"As the movie title GOLD suggests, we’ll be bringing to you a super dazzling and insanely fun movie, and we’ve assembled the best staff to do just that! The numerous meetings I had with Kuroiwa and Oda were tough, but thanks to those we’ll be able to show you the Straw Hat crew at their coolest yet. Please wait for a while longer until next summer. Our goal is to make “the ultimate entertainment movie”! Please look forward to it."
God damn this movie is going to be amazing, isn't it?

Just started the Dressrosa arc from the beginning. Is this a bit like DBZ where Episode of Sabo came first and then they built the arc around it? Also great introduction to the new Navy Admiral.

Just got up to where Sabo first appeared in Dressrosa. Saw someone say fuck for the first time I can remember awhile ago. Their reasoning for why Doflamingo can fly is lame as hell. Just that he could moon walk or jump from strings he put under his feet would have been cool but he needs clouds to do it?
Episode 731
Namekrosa continues.
Spoilers, I looked up the upcoming episodes and

Should be fully caught up with Dressrosa by the time the next episode comes out. Lol at Pica's voice.

Viola had that tear whale ability since episode 641 tho. (Yep, that long ago.)
Did she? I don't remember seeing it. I was thinking that was a new one.
Edit: Just went back and skimmed through 641. It was an old move! Man, so much has happened. Can't believe that was almost 100 eps ago!
Oh, and I knew how the end of 731 was going to go as soon as I saw Viola and Rebecca.

So that's how they went 25 episodes between Luffy fighting Doflamingo and him going into Fourth Gear; with lots and lots of backstory. Just finished episode 706. Should be getting near the end of it.

I still think it's a stupid plot device that no one can harm that bird cage. In particular, Zoro. Even Kyros cut clean through a whole bundle of strings, the clone, and IIRC the cage is made from that... Luffy does not seem to have a problem with destroying Doffy's strings either.
Not even an admiral with gravity powers can push against it...
Then again, at it's full size the strings would have been so much further spaced out compared to now, that you should have been able to just walk past the cage

I thought the same thing. He's able to have the full strength bird cage going, fight against ridiculously strong people with not much of a problem, control multiple people, and repair his insides. Dude's so OP.
I would have thought that the admiral and Zoro would have no problem whatsoever holding/cutting the birdcage, but apparently not. I never would have thought both of them combined would have trouble with it! Turns out it takes those powerhouses, plus the entire population to hold back Doflamingo's power, somehow.
Actually, "Hierro Lagrima" means "Iron tear" in Spanish, using bad grammar, the correct way to express it would be "Lagrima de Hierro".
I know this is irrelevant, but it's funny how Oda uses many names for attacks and different stuff in other languages, and those names have many times grammatical or orthographical mistakes. He even mixes languages, like Robin's "Veinte fleur" (20 flowers), where we can find Spanish and French words in the same name. I can't speak French, but if I'm not wrong, that "fleur" is written in singular instead of plural.
Funny or not, I like Oda's references to different worldwide languages.

Diamante better be dead unlike the other executives after all the shit he's done.

I've basically concluded that Oda picks attack names based on how exotic they sound to him. Loosely related to the attack, but phonetically cool sounding. Ursus Shock! Diable Jambe! Roseo Colonnade!

I feel like the bird cage is an ability he has to build up over a long time. Store a little power for it each day, and once he uses it it'll be a while before he can use it again

Finally caught up on Dressrosa. Only real question I have is what happened to Koala? She was (I think) inside the castle and called for Sabo but hasn't been seen again. Still want to know how Sanji, Chopper, Brook and Nami are doing against Big Mama but I doubt that's coming until the very end of this arc.

It started REALLY slow. Having watched Episode of Sabo before it I didn't have a lot of interest in anything it covered. Everything with Fujitora early though was cool. Just became an Admiral and already wants to change the complete structure of the world. Everything after the tournament I mostly enjoyed except for King Riku's family backstories which I mostly skipped over.
Once all of the executives came out it started to get interesting. Hated Senor Pink at first but started to like him after awhile and getting backstory on him was nice. Pica's voice is hilarious and Zorro was pretty much just trolling him the whole time because he knew nothing he did could hurt him. None of the other executives stood out that much and I can't even remember what happened to the helicopter guy. All the random fighters taking out executives was decent but outside of the large guy with the pointy head (I'm terrible with names), none of them are really given any backstories to care about them.
Doflamingo's, Corazon's and Law's backstories were for the most part interesting. They keep trying to balance Doflamingo being a complete psychopath and really caring about his family and just comes off as weird. How did the World Government allow him to become a Warlord after all of the shit he's done? Did he hold his blackmail over the Celestial Dragons and convince them to?
Corazon's doesn't make a ton of sense to me. How long was he gone when he became a double agent? He just wanders off, finds and joins the navy, eats a devil fruit and convinces Doflamingo he can't talk now because of a random injury? Law is about as big of a psychopath as Doflamingo at first but eventually mellows out. I'm a little confused at how he ended up where he was during Punk Hazard. Doflamingo offered him a seat as a top executive so he didn't see him as a serious threat and he wasn't as determined to make him immortal as he was before. Law always held a grudge but Doflamingo wasn't exactly determined to stop him from doing anything.
Overall everything Episode of Sabo covered except for everything with Fujitora I didn't really care for but everything after that I've mainly enjoyed.

That's every manga/anime attack rule. The problem is when you start naming characters that way.
