I don't like that now Mr. 2 knows Croc has been released so we don't get that cool image where he freaks out upon seeing him (in the panel with the entire mob at the end of chp 541).
Yeah, and the fishman karate is a small gripe too. I actually think that whole confrontation was drawn out.
Quite honestly I just liked the sense of impending mayhem that chp 541 built up and it just doesn't look like they're going to communicate it well in the anime. I'll wait for next week though before judging since it seems like that episode will cover the end of 541 and pages 14-15.

It sometimes helps to read a thread.
fffff Sorry too busy having orgasms from Crocodile.
Best shot of the whole episode:

]The time not showing that scene was much better spent on Crocodile taking that long sexy drag on his cigar ______
Oh man this episode was fangirl fuel. CROC'S EMBARRASSED FACE :wub:
And how it was displayed in the anime it really makes it seem like his secret is… what we have been guessing this whole time >_>
AND SHIRYUU <333333333333333 Croc and Shiryuu and Daz I'm in fangirl heaven :wub::wub::wub:

Loved the add-on of Buggy and Mr 3
Those 2 are something elseThose two are the best comedy routine ever.
As for the rest of the ep…God, I love Crocodile! :wub: I'm so happy he's back. The man seriously has charisma. He even gets new kama to shine his shoes.
-
Episode was really good coming from Yokoyama. Only gripe as other have said was the Mr.4-struck-with-Noro-Noro-Beam slowness of Jimbei's attack.
Croc's sand looked nifty. Buggy and Mr. 3 filler was comedic gold as always. The extra explanation of some elements (Croc's clothes, Croc's past secret) was a good call to add short bits of "filler" time in without making the pace drag. imo Croc stole the show this episode.
Can't wait to see next episode where everything goes nuts…

nah.. I do not think his secret is what many people suspected. Although I think Oda intentionaly made people to think that way.,..with chapter 0 and all.
The way that Ivankov talked to croc does not really seems to be implying about his secret of being a girl or anything. Ivankov said that he can use that to somewhat control croc so he can be trusted, so his secret should be something that he does not want others to know.. in case of Ivankov
their conversation implys that they met when Croc was a rookie which means he was somewhat known for being a pirate and if he suddenly changed in to a man, everyone should know that so…it cannot really be a secret.I think its something that on one can expect right now... with what Oda has been doing I would be suprised if it is really croc being a girl... I am 99% positive it will be something that no one can guess at all
-
Decent episode this week. I'm really excited for the next one, though!
-
Woooooow I really love this episode, the best of impel down so far!!!!

Though honestly, at the time this would have happen, the world would have had their eyes on Roger, not an upstart pirate, so it's very possibly this could have happened before he got any notoriety. She could have wanted to become a man so she COULD earn some rep. Who knows. But yeah either way it's cool, I will love Fem!Croc just as much, but it would be more epic if it was just Oda trolling us and it was something even crazier XD
-
Really Good episode, nice pacing. And the animation was better than I expected. The filler was nice in this one, and I'm glad they showed Corocodile taking his new clothes.
The only problem was Jinbey's attack being slow. And it resembled Kenshiro's attacks from Hokuto no ken. lol
Next week looks Awesome!
-
Woah, watching Rocky Horror Picture Show and then an episode with Ivankov and the newkamas is really freaky.
-
Do you think this arc will be finished by 452
-
Do you think this arc will be finished by 452
Hell No. I really hope they don't go with half chapter pacing at the end.
If they keep the current pacing, then 450.
-
Damn I am really liking Croc's updated sand effects. I assume that there was some digital help there? Anyway the episode inspired a friend of mine to start watching One Piece. o.O Hope to see more like it.
-
That was a jawesome episode!! It was A-mazing for a Yokoyama episode. :happy:
I do hope we'll get to see the Marineford Arc in around June though. -
Nice episode. The pacing was pretty decent in this one. It didn't bother me like the past few episodes have. Except for Jimbei's attack cause that was ridiculously slow.
-
I just loved this episode. Oh man. Croc just stole the show. That's right Croc, make those candies wait on you. XD
(loved watching him take that drag on his cigar too, oh my. Thank you thank you~)
fffff Sorry too busy having orgasms from Crocodile.

It's pretty embarrassing but I guess I was just waiting for this episode so much and I was so happy with it, I just woke up from seeing Croco-boy in my dream asfgdfghjkl :wub:
Yes, it's more embarrassing saying it out loud… Just couldn't help it when I saw how many of you have been waiting for him to appear also
Next episode I can't wait for is chapter 552 <3
-
can someone provide me with a raw? or sumthin? thx a lot
-
Really good episode. Croc was by far the most awesome chara in it. But damn now I even mmore wants to see his secret past.
Jinbei's move was a but meeeh
-
yeahhhhhhhhhhhhh!! finally!! gosh you can't imagine how long i've been waiting for this episode!! ^o^/ wohooooo~~
they did a quite good job on crocodile. i really loved the scene with barchan __ that was awesome. jinbei's punch on the other hand was too dragged out. really it was like "now the punch! … now .... any second now ... eh ... 1 minute later ok .. didn't like that" -___- what were they thinking?
gosh i'm so happy __ now i just need to find the raw and i can finally .. continue with .. you know what pokes dervish hehehhehehhe

This episode was like a love letter to Croc fans everywhere. I still have a warm glow. XD It just reaffirms my love for this series. (and I'm even more curious to know Croc's secret now~)
gosh i'm so happy __ now i just need to find the raw and i can finally .. continue with .. you know what pokes dervish hehehhehehhe
Why yes, I do know what. And I can't wait~! :wub:
-
Episode was too great, especially the croc/luffy/jinbei attacks part, everything was well animated, great pacing, no complains :wub:
now i'll have to wait again :sad: -
I think I am the only one who liked Jimbei's attack…even though it was slow the animation was good and the music was fine...and CROC RULEZ !
-
This episode was great. It gave some fanservice to Crocodile fans, an awesome fight scene with Croc, Luffy, and Jimbei, and Bon Clay get injected in the balls made my day. Either way, it was great.
-
This post is deleted!

Jinbei was great this episode!!! His attack was awesome and I can't wait to see hsi water attacks animated
-

Jinbei's attack was great, it's like a time bomb, and it was well animated here.
And yes, in this ep CROC RULEZ ! -
i rly enjoyed this episode..
the sand-effects of croc were decent..
also how he fighted the guards…looked awesome..
jinbei`s punch were a bit to long.so it seems a bit weird but still okay.
ivankov and his speech to croc was also..okay(and that means much by my opinion to ivankov)loved the added scene of mr.3 and buggy..rly funny and great to have again those lions with human faces
-
Jinbei Punch was over a minute long. It'd take him all week to use some of Luffy's moves.
-
This was a great episode, that action part was good.
Why is everyone complaining about Jimbei(or Jinbei?)'s Punch?
-

It ran a little too long for some people.
I thought it was awesome, at least the after effect that looks like Fist of the North Star.I prefer saying Jimbei.
-
Did anyone here notice the Terminator 2 reference in this episode with Crocodile when he got shot multiple times?
-
Yeah I thought that as well.^^
But Jinbei's punc was awesome. Maybe a bit too long animated
-
It was a great episode.
Oh, and I'm glad they kept the sandyness of Crocodile this time. In the manga, Oda often draws him with parts of his body still in sand form, and they really kept it. Jinbei's attack looked absolutely brutal, but it really was toooo long.
Excellent episode, I can't wait for the rest of the episodes. In fact, I was surprised that Blackbeard makes his appearance next episode. We're really rolling. But the fact that they cut Buggy and Mr. 3 freeing prisoners makes everything really weird, especially now that Magellan is on his way back in.

They probably moved that scene to next episode.

]_ Is that face really a "freak out" face?
http://www.onemanga.com/One_Piece/541/18-19/
I don't think Mr.2 is shocked by crocodile there. Because he is holding that face for a few pages already. The only thing that shocks him is Mr.1 . I think it's just the hormone boostHere is a example page:

I thought it was just fine myself, and all the action with croc and luffy made up for the pace of jimbei's attack. All in all id say it was pretty good episode and im really excited for next weeks.
-
The only thing i didnt really like in the episode was the continuaition of the use of cartoon sounds, we got in on Bon Chan and on Hanyaball scene it just feels so out of place :S atleast in my opinion.
-
It was very anoying that instead of Croc, Luffy and Jimbei beating random guards, they just made Jimbei's punch last one whole freaking minute, I mean, a sables from afar, a generic fishman punch and gomu gomu no whip would have been less anoying..
-
Two of the funniest scenes in that episode have to be when: 1, Bon-chan got OWNED by Ivankov's 'misdirection' and Luffy screams "DON'T DIE!" and 2, when Crocodile's about to start a fight with Jimbei and Iva yanks on his chain ('Your secret past??'). That was great :P

I'm pretty sure those sound effects are used since day one, especially Hannyabal's..
-
The only thing I don't like… Jinbei's voice is a bit shitty
-
So Toei's determined to have Croc keep his gray skin and purple hair, eh?
-
Great episode. Great seeing Crocodile back again. And i really like Shiryuu's vocie. Jimbei's attack was pretty cool except maybe it took a bit longer than it shuld have. We are creeping ever closer to the war now. I can't wait.
-
Great episode with a good pace (when I saw the "to be contined" I thought "Wow already ?oO".
But one thing annoy me a bit :
About Crocodile's weakness, in this episode, Ivankov seems to tell that it has to do with his past whereas in the manga we don't know if this weakness is due to his past, to his body or anything else…
And yeah Jinbei's punch was a bit too long u_u.
-
Hey you a right… it the manga it was never mentioned it has to do with the past or do I miss something
-
So Toei's determined to have Croc keep his gray skin and purple hair, eh?
Crocodile's hair is definitely black in this episode. His hair did have purple highlights in the earlier episodes (but it seems that not anymore), but it was never all purple in the anime.
Anyway, this was a very good episode. Croc was well-drawn and animated throughout the whole thing, and the new sand effects are very nice. He's so badass and sexy. but I prefer Akainu a little bit more
I also was a bit "huh?" at Jimbei's drawn out attack, but it didn't really bother me. I'm still not very used to his new voice though.I'm very much anticipating to see the war animated (especially some of the scenes) and to hear Akainu's voice as well. Shiryuu's voice would've been good for him imo. Oh well, at least the voice is perfect for Shiryuu.
The episode also had some funny bits. All in all, a very nice episode. Looking forward to the next one. :happy:
-
Iva probably means that he found out something in the past. I'm very curious as to what it is. Wouldn't it be just HILARIOUS if Crocodile used to be a woman XD. I know, I'm a sick individual for thinking such a thing, but I would still be laughing my ass off if that was the case.
-

That's purple as far as I'm concerned, if it was black it'd be white highlights, or at least some sort of blue like Robin's in the anime.
Also, no, they're still there: http://www.forumsigs.com/users/crossbones/New_One_Piece_Misc/OP-442-comp.jpg http://www.forumsigs.com/users/crossbones/New_One_Piece_Misc/OP-443-comp.jpg

I liked this one. Last one too let's hope Toei can keep up that kinda quality for a while.
