That really is Oda-sensei's gift, isn't it? He can make you really care about a chatacter so swiftly and effortlessly, wut an amazing writer. However, the translation from manga to anime is a difficult one, especially wen it comes to timing and building tension, and I don't thnk this ep really ratchets up the tension very well. But with an ending like that, it's almost impossible not to make a good piece of film.

I expected the bomb to be shot out of the cannon but then Pell grabs it in the air to make it explode. Glad I was wrong though, this was much better.

The King and Igaram spying on Vivi never gets old xD ...and that's reminds me, still waiting for Igaram to show up again.

That may be one of my favorite scenes in anime. Great stuff. Even though the 30 minutes seemed to last forever.

Very well put, the material was good, but the timing was horribly off. I guess this is one of the repercussions of adapting a manga into an anime. but damn Pell is amazing as a guard and man that flashback right before makes everything so much more sad.

Right I think this series is amazing and all BUT I find the time thing in this arc completely ridiculous. The last 3 episodes, 20 mins each, are all supposed to have taken place in the space of FIVE minutes come on I can only suspend my disbelief so much.

I haven't read the manga but I'm going to assume they handle things better, and with a manga time is all relative. If they really wanted to drag on this much of the anime couldn't the writers have extended the time of the bomb going off a bit so it flows better? I mean Vivi looked at the clock with 15 seconds left, cries for a good 20 seconds, then Pell comes in with a long monologue THEN he finally grabs it and flies up pretty damn high before it then explodes. Surely they must have realised how silly it all was.

Absolutely.

Speaking of timing, these episodes are really slow. It's like the directors want to drag the fight on forever. But hey, I guess it's better this way than have 50% of your show filled with crappy fillers. Yes, Bleach, I'm looking at you!

This. This. THIS SO MUCH.

This too. I didn't care for Pell. But that's only because this arc has been dragged out so long that I've started skipping past scenes I find unimportant to the straw hat crew.

Also, did anyone else think of a spirit bomb when the bomb went off? I was expected a red, fiery explosion, but instead it was a cool blue with no fire.

Oh right, I almost forgot that this episode was about Pell lol.
Luffy's kicking ass, I thought for a moment that Vivi wasn't useless, oh well she disappointed me as usual.
Oh and the return of Igaram, albeit that it was a flashback, he returned nonetheless 😎
