I think Comcast is cutting out. :/

 

[GaimeGuy]

I hate this juicy fruit commercial so much

 

[BatDan]

What the fuck at this Amazon Prime commercial?

 

[Grexeno]

I think Comcast is cutting out. :/

Shit, so I'm not the only one

 

[Crocodile]

Hype

It's a way to show how powerful it is. He's hinted at it a few times and breaking the door down gives us some context as to it's power without revealing it completely, thus maintaining the surprise.

To build excitement, because you don't know what it is yet know that it's powerful because it destroyed that door.

Also, revealing it in the middle of a fight would be what some might consider an asspull. It's the second time it was teased too, since he was about to use it against Blueno if Blueno didn't get knocked out.

We already know Luffy has power he hasn't revealed yet from that incident (which means its been hinted at and is thus NOT an ass pull). Making it explicitly clear that is Third Gear feels like an unneeded spoiler. Just show it in action and let the audience fill in the gaps from the information you've already provided.

Amazon Prime...commercial? What I am even watching anymore?

 

[Zonic]

.....Amazon has their own commercial now? Huh.

Hahaha, that quick nod to the drones.

 

[SparksterMeta0]

Toei has a library of sounds they love to use.
My favorite game is "play the One Piece sound that was in Dragon Ball"

Is there a site that has these sound effects?

 

[BassForever]

I think Comcast is cutting out. :/

Working fine for me, maybe it's your area

 

[UltraGunner]

Stop giving John K work [AS]

 

[Doctor Decimate]

It's because a lot of the events that happened in this episode were built up from the original series, including the evil nature of the Shikon Jewel (revealed in the original series when they went to that cave and learned how the Jewel was made) and the relationship between InuYasha and Kagome/Miroku and Sango. We stayed with InuYasha for nearly 200 episodes because of these characters when the plot was "spinning it's wheels", we like those characters and wanted to see them get together and finally put the struggle of the jewel to a permanent end.

The problem here isn't in what the story did, but in the god awful pacing/execution of the content in Final Act itself. What happened could and should have been more effective had it been paced better.

Sounds like nothing has changed except this is the ending.

 

[BatDan]

Is there a site that has these sound effects?

No idea. Though I'm sure you could do some searching.

 

[grandjedi6]

Usopp sure is observant...

 

[SparksterMeta0]

Way to drop him, guys.

 

[lazybones18]

oh Sniper King

 

[Soulflarz]

sniper king pls

 

[daveo42]

Yep...everyone is dead.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Poor Sniper King. Usopp better be grateful for all he's doing.

.....Amazon has their own commercial now? Huh.

Hahaha, that quick nod to the drones.

Sometimes I forget some of you don't watch tv regularly.

 

[skLaFarebear]

Time to get a new crew Luffy.

 

[LOLDSFAN]

Pls stop skipping Comcast.

 

[Jarate]

Honestly, I know this is One Piece, but theyd pretty much have to be running at the speed of sound to probably get away from that wave with the amount of water pressure coming through

 

[Imperial Bishop]

I just noticed that Chopper is tied to Kokoro's hat.

 

[Grexeno]

Pls stop skipping Comcast.

Literally THE WORST POSSIBLE TIME

 

[BatDan]

Oh Spandam, you are not invincible.

 

[Mik317]

a lot of nothing happened in this episode

 

[Squishy3]

some good old TOEI QUALITY there

 

[UltraGunner]

Yes YES

Burn down this island that belongs to the Government, who I also work for

 

[Shard]

Don't ever think too hard about One Piece.

 

[lazybones18]

you heard the man. go re-capture Robin

 

[daveo42]

Seeing that cloud footage reminds me of something out of later seasons of South Park in the way its animated.

Now back to the fighting.

 

[grandjedi6]

Honestly, I know this is One Piece, but theyd pretty much have to be running at the speed of sound to probably get away from that wave with the amount of water pressure coming through

Lol, they run from way crazier things in the future. The series even starts to lampshade people's running speed from danger.

 

[Zonic]

Oh hey, slightly different animation.

 

[LOLDSFAN]

Literally THE WORST POSSIBLE TIME

Good thing it hasn't been like this the whole night.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Those are some nice action sequences.

 

[BatDan]

It's doing the weird animation thing again.

 

[Soulflarz]

DRILL HARDER

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Naoki Tate putting in work.

 

[Gucci Messiah]

daaaaamn

 

[Takashi]

Think the animation quality is finally starting to go up

 

[GaimeGuy]

It's time :3

 

[UltraGunner]

GumGum Drill Break

 

[Moaradin]

I like when One Piece has animation

 

[MetatronM]

Animation budget finally arrived for the episode.

 

[skLaFarebear]

The budget!

 

[Shard]

Ah, these were the halcyon days, back when One Piece had a budget to speak of.

 

[BassForever]

That Mario 64 move

 

[grandjedi6]

Ooh this is where the movie 6 animation starts. Good old Tate.

 

[Jarate]

They e raised the budget from 2 Koreans to 7!

 

[Mik317]

SO LONG KING LUCCI

 

[LOLDSFAN]

Gum gum spin around real fast.
