I remember that but I don't know when they mention him

Spoiler

Right at the beginning of the Arlong arc

 

[BatDan]

I remember that but I don't know when they mention him

Very early in the Arlong arc. Yosaku mentions him to Luffy and Sanji

 

[Ultratech]

So much recap....zzzz

 

[Silky]

Bopped.

 

[UltraGunner]

This recap is almost half the episode

 

[SparksterMeta0]

They've broken through the first line!

 

[Crocodile]

7 minutes of recap? Jesus O_O

 

[MetatronM]

That's nothing....

(later one piece spoilers)

Spoiler

Jinbei was mentioned 10 years before he appeared in the manga

The best example is

Spoiler

Boa Hancock, who actually appeared ON THE COVER OF SHOUNEN JUMP before the crew even entered the Grand Line

.


I warned you guys of One Piece's 8 minute start ups, right? We're currently 6 minutes in and haven't hit the OP.

But at least this is now new material.

 

[Zonic]

Holy crap, that was about a 6-7 minute recap. I get it helps fill people in, especially since we're right near the start of a new arc, but you could have cut at least a minute or so out.

 

[LOLDSFAN]

Welp time for a commercial break.

 

[Amikami]

7 whole freakin minutes of recaps. Sorry. That's just ridiculous.

 

[Jarate]

Its a known fact that Japanese children have severe memory problems. Thats why we need a recap, for the children

 

[789shadow]

I think it's finally over.

 

[MaximumSpider]

Oh man, this reminds me of the way Toei does One Piece episodes now: the 2:30 opening, that short story about the One Piece, and a recap.

 

[Mik317]

Your bodies aren't ready for true recap bombs

 

[BassForever]

Time for war to begin

 

[BatDan]

The best example is

Don't forget

Spoiler

Silvers Rayleigh showing up in Buggy's flashback YEARS before he was introduced. That's always been my favorite.

Nah, Toei's run by incompetent fucks that would prefer having good ratings with sloooow manga material than making filler and probably killing ratings.

 

[Schadenfreude]

And there's the opening finally. Recaps are horrible.

 

[Shard]

Now the episode begins, after 7 minutes of recaps. FUCK YOU SHONEN PACING!

 

[Crayolan]

Wow their outside defenses suck.

 

[UltraGunner]

8 MINUTES

 

[lazybones18]

That recap lasted four hours long

 

[SparksterMeta0]

Finally!

 

[LOLDSFAN]

King of the recaps.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

urgh that cut

 

[789shadow]

And now the OP

8 FUCKING MINUTES INTO THE EPISODE

 

[Imperial Bishop]

START ME UP!

 

[daveo42]

I love all the reactions to the recap. Woo best opening!

 

[VariantX]

It only took them 8 minutes. Almost borderline clipshow.

 

[Takashi]

You guys really weren't kidding about the recaps.

 

[MetatronM]

Don't forget

Oh, that's right. Not just years. That shit was EPISODE 8.

Spoiler

Nearly 400 episodes in advance.

[SparksterMeta0]

And now the OP

8 FUCKING MINUTES INTO THE EPISODE

And soon the 2 1/2 minute OP.

 

[Jarate]

It only took them 8 minutes. Almost borderline clipshow.

Well, would you rather have huge recaps in your weekly shonen, or would you rather have Naruto pacing. Pick your poison

 

[Mik317]

don't eat the recap recap fruit.

 

[Shard]

Ah the seastone handcuffs, the seastone is something that is really underutilized in One Piece word.

 

[Man God]

Don't forget

Spoiler

Sanji's

Spoiler

eyebrow swirl on the transponder snail

back at the crap cafe is my favorite.

 

[789shadow]

Well, would you rather have huge recaps in your weekly shonen, or would you rather have Naruto pacing. Pick your poison

Well eventually One Piece will have both.

 

[UltraGunner]

Chopper is really buying it

 

[Zonic]

Oh hey a map showing the location of everyone. Sure can't wait for them to show it at the BEGINNING OF 90% OF THE EPISODES NOW.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Sniper King is invincible.

 

[daveo42]

At least you don't have to suffer through filler like Man God over there.

 

[VariantX]

How about neither. I don't recall jojo doing either

 

[SparksterMeta0]

Operation Saving Straw Hat Robin is officially a go.

 

[LOLDSFAN]

Sure go ahead kid.

 

[BatDan]

Ah the seastone handcuffs, the seastone is something that is really underutilized in One Piece word.

Hahahahahahaha. Hahahahahahahahahahahaha

 

[Schadenfreude]

Man, you do gotta feel bad for the Marine underlings sometimes.

 

[MetatronM]

One of my favorite Luffy attacks right here.

 

[B-Dubs]

He's asking nicely XD

ALLY ROBOT ATTACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[BassForever]

Well eventually One Piece will have both.

Even at it's worst One Piece still look like mach 5 compared to Shippuden
