No, no—it was Usopp who beat the ship out of Luffy.

RE: 1073: "No Escape! Onigashima, a Picture of Hell"
Oof. This episode suffered. Six minutes of recap, including the giant Luffy cut being shown twice within those six minutes. Two minutes or so of fresh G5, and the rest of the episode weaker content that was dragged out a bit. Next week is a recap. Whew. Bit if a roller coaster lately. Expected and reasonable with a weekly show, but still a bummer.
Also, I just realized it’s too late in the arc to do another theme song with Wano images. If they debut one at the end of the arc, it’ll be mostly Egghead. But honestly I’m kind of hoping they just wait a bit and give us the new theme song when Egghesd starts—have it be all Egghead imagery.

RE: 1096: "Forbidden History! A Theory About a Kingdom"
Man, One Pace is super necessary for this episode. I loved originally how Shaka reveals that the scholars saved their lives’ work by throwing the books into the lake, which causes Robin to cry. But this shitty episode stuck a flashback scene right in between the reveal and Robin crying, which made it look like she was crying for the flashback scene, not the poignancy of the passionate scholars dying to protect their work.

Already through the Whole Cake episodes. Man, that was fast.
My One Piece rewatch with my fiance just reached post-Marineford. We're at the flashback to Luffy, Ace, and Sabo's childhoods. We're watching on FUNimation's site (well, the TV app), and once the opening changed to "We Fight Together", the video quality seemed to take a nose dive. It's very noticeable when the English text is placed on the screen. The newer episodes seem fine, so I guess it was just something with these particular episodes?
I did this with my then-girlfriend like ten years ago and we still watch the dub together weekly to this day, now married. Have fun! She(?)’s a keeper if she watches all of it with you, lol.
Man, watching episode1015 makes me so excited to hear Kaido in English. The Wano arc is going to be very cool dubbed. I just hope they can slow down the production a little by then to boost back up the quality. I’ve been a little disappointed by the direction lately for the dub, particularly the sound engineering.

Japan Travel for One Piece Fans
Hey! I’ve been doing some research since I’m heading to Japan for a trip soon. Here are things for future travelers looking to do One Piece related events in Japan! These are events and places that aren’t limited events (which usually occur in the summer months).
- Mugiwara Stores. Several of these throughout the country. They’re basically Disney stores, except for One Piece.
- Jump Stores. These have merch from all the Shonen jump properties.
- Kumamoto Statues. In Kumamoto, there are big gold statues of each of the straw hats spread around the city.
- Toei Animation Museum.
- For Figures: Tokyo's Nakano Broadway & Akihabara, particularly Akiba Culture Zone & Radio Kaikan.
There used to be a real life Thousand Sunny, but I think it’s not operational anymore. Same for the One Piece Tower theme park in Tokyo. Do you guys have any other places to add to this list for myself and future travelers?

RE: One Piece Live-Adaptation Drama Announced
Lord of the coast definitely looks a little animated, but not too bad. I still really like it. Luffy’s fighting needs to be fast, and the arm needs to be elastic, have a really quick and satisfying snap when it moves. Left life-like, more rubber band.

Yeah, I just finished it too. Really distracting that Jimbei sounds weird, and I continually don’t like how none of the character voices have any base. But that last episode was exciting. Awesome that we’re at the halfway point, and it was cool to meet Morgans and Katakuri in the dub.

RE: 1042: ''The Predator's Trap - Black Maria's Temptation''
Crazy how Franky got a six minute fight, but Robin and Brook are getting like two or three episodes for theirs. That Franky fight happened way too fast. A non-manga viewer probably wondered if that was even the end of it.

@Blake-Bakes-Cakes I remember when I caught up to the anime it was at about episode 240. The dub ever covering anything beyond Skypiea seemed like a pipe dream for the longest time, especially after it was originally taken off Toonami and when the DVD releases just stopped after season 3 with no word from Funimation.
I'm glad we've made it this far.
Don’t remind me of these days. Waiting for Water 7 dub was a nightmare. Two years, I think. Then another two or three years after FI.

Any bets on when the new set will drop?

RE: Funimation DVD Discussion IV (Please Check First Post for FAQ)
Hah, there was a misprint that got shipped to some people anyways. That's annoying. Trigun Stampede and Ranking of Kings announced, though; both great shows, only the latter of which I'll buy. My next buys outside of OP will be Chainsaw Man & Dead Dead Demon's Dedede Destruction, though; hopefully the latter comes with the movie cuts. Can't think of other shows that are worth buying now. Vinland Saga 2 Combo set; not buying these broken up season bs releases anymore.

I know. I watch the sub, too. I'm just saying as far as preview clips go, these are near worthless to us dub watchers. Would rather have a scene with new character(s).

Here's the english dub preview of 1087 a.k.a Blackbeard vs. Koby vs. Hancock.
Weird. They have all of these up to episode 1088, and likely more coming because that was only uploaded an hour ago. Too bad the previews don't give any voices besides the narrator...

RE: Funimation DVD Discussion IV (Please Check First Post for FAQ)
Man, yet another week without a set. This has gotta be the longest wait yet. I’ve just about run out of episodes with my rationing. :(

RE: Funimation DVD Discussion IV (Please Check First Post for FAQ)
I was hoping they'd drop an Egghead dub clip or at least announce the final Wano voyage for 6/11.

Whole lot of nothing, huh? They got Colleen to do a line for it, hah.

It would be wild if Egghead started premiering on TV instead of CR.

Announcement incoming? Would love if it was a simuldub or old movies being dubbed. But I’ll take a Wano finale & Egghead clip at least, please.

Funiroll hasn't even finished up the Wano episodes, and they're going to premiere two start-of-Egghead episodes in a month?
I would assume the final Wano batch will drop before the Egghead premiere.
It's also not irregular for them to premiere episodes way ahead at cons. They did it for episode 1000 & Gear Five.

@Trueblade74 ihave a feeling those Wano Episodes been done, they just been slow with releasing for some reason
I'm hoping that reason is the new English One Piece website that's supposed to drop next week with the Sphere promotion.
Yeah, I assume they'll bundle the Wano finale with this or use it to promote that final set.

Pretty sure they've been confirmed finished. The team talks on Twitter about recording very close to (sometimes even ahead of) release. I remember Stefanie Young was talking about recording an emotion Robin scene before it even aired in Japanese. They're simuldubbing this show without releasing it as a simuldub. It's annoying.
But who knows. Maybe the promotion YouTube channel & sphere will welcome some bigger news than we're expecting.
