They're talking about Fossa.

Onigumo: Yes Yamakaji and Strawberry: No, they didn't even appear. But Onigumo (along with Momonga) had a nice short scene.
Marco's VA is incredible. I don't care if he's also Ichigo's VA.
Loved it. There was plenty of action and I didn't even pay attention to how it was being paced. If more episodes turn out like this then I'm quite excited.
Akainu's voice is a little weird but I'm sure i'll get used to it. The magma looked awesome as did Marco.
Oh man, that episode was fantastic. It almost felt like watching the movie. Even the animation was way better than usual. I swear if every action-packed episode of this arc is like this then this is definitely gonna be the best anime arc to date.
Edit: Also I'm loving Kenpachi's VA playing Akainu. He really gives an asshollish vibe which is perfect.
Am I the only one who finds it irritating that everything is mirrored?
Far better than last episode but sucks they made Jozu smile when and then lengthened the scene with Kizaru&Marco. Awkward as shit because it looks like Kizaru can float like a shinigami or dbz character now. Pacing entirely off. Kinda don't like Zaraki's voice for Akainu because I keep on picturing Zaraki and their characters are too different. Maybe I'm too used to light voice from the ohara flashback. Became alright with me after hearing Kuma's.
Oars was badass. Loving his voice over of his dad/grandpa's Luffy like one. I am a little sick of all the single image scenes and faceshots of Sengoku. Its the same one over and over again.
I thought we would see more of them in the backgrounds . Anyway what VA's were beside Onigumo in the scene where Oars apeared in the manga ?
I can't remember exactly but Tsuru and another VA (or maybe she was with Onigumo) were also in the anime.
What , Tsuru was in this ep ?
She needs screentime seeing how important she seems to be . At least in the anime .Plus I wanna see how she does "that" , exactly .
Yeah, she commented on Oars Jr. being the descendant of Oars 'the continent puller'
Dalmation dude and Doberman got quick cameo. Thats it besides the ones we saw fighting and Tsuru.
@Tijnn.:

Oh wait that was more or less canon .

Extremely. kjdlkjlk
Gotta love Marco!
If the pacing remain like in this episode, next week we will find out who really Lacroix is. I'm still not that sure. I'm leaning towards the giant but it's confusing. (also, can't wait to hear how they will pronounce it. I'm learning French)
It remains to be seen, I'm wondering if they will censor it to be honest.
I don't think so. Oars Jr. is a monster, the standards are usually more liberal in this case. Just remember the massive amount of blood when Nightmare Luffy cut down his grandpa.
That and Katsumi Ishizuka likes his blood.
I think the old geezer has no DF but hsi sword is coverd or made by some sort of easy burnable material… That's why he light it up with his cigar

It is that giant guy.
Also, didn't realise Kenpachi's voice actor was doin Akainu…thats just awesome. A good fit for a psycho like him.

This guy:
15th Division commander Fossa.
And yeah..it does seem as though he set his sword on fire via his cigar. Tats just badass.
Pretty sweet episode. Ace's "kkgghhhggll" and Coby's cowardice were a tad annoying but overall great episode. Ace plays a horrible damsel in distress. He's better at being a big brother and watching Luffy's back.

This.
They are gonna ruin it if they censor it.

I'm with you on the Ace thing but Coby's cowardice I thought was great. It's really building up him as a character and the fact that sometime in the future he needs to become strong just like Luffy. (ala flashback of him and Luffy and their promise)
I think some point in the future Coby is going to be key in something that may happen with Luffy. I mean heck he was there at the beginning with Luffy. It's bringing the whole story full circle. I personally thought it was a great touch to have that scene in there. Adds a bit of emotion in with all of the awesome bad arse fighting. But that's just my opinion and I'm an over emotional girly girl so I might have taken too much from it.
Also - I Marco. Marco wins so much.
I just realized… Onigumo is HUGE!
!
I thought all of the Vices were above average height, and I knew Onigumo was a bit taller even compared to them. I know he is supposed to be a zoan but if we look at Mr. Blondebeard dalmatian he isn't that big, he's just closer.
But it can be a mistake. In the previous ep, he looked okay. Except…
! Where is his abdomen?
Onigumo isn't huge, Dalmatian is huge.

Once again, a brillant display of tactical prowess by the Whitebeard Pirates. First you try to drown 'em, now you try to crush Ace with a giant iceberg.
While it did lack most of the animated fighting of last week's episode, this one was really good, despite FUNimation's crappy video player. The scenes with Marco and Kizaru, and Akainu's lava fist were excellent. Fossa lighting his sword on fire with his cigar was great.
That's how Oars should have sounded like instead of a stuffy-nosed Luffy. I didn't notice this in Water 7, but Coby really sounds like an old lady now.
Man, poor Ace, having to take a bathroom break bad but being forced to hold it in like that.
Onigumo isn't huge, Dalmatian is huge.

Then it's a mistake. Stupid mistake. We all know who is the tallest VA (not counting the giants): Strawberry…

16 characters of LOL! That's true! The Marines already saved Ace's ass twice!
@Sean:

Yeah, but above all, they saved their asses twice.
For a second there, I though Marco was Goku cause of his hair xD
I love how critical Akainu is of his fellow admirals.
Morons leaving their post and breaking formation.
Then if I had to put up with Kizaru's face all the time, I'd be a bit pissed off too.
A good episode after a long time.
where can i find a raw for this episode? The only link i remember having it was saiyaman but they don't have it..
I really wanna make some gifs that don't have subtitles.
i hate hate hate the dragonballzish pace of the battles in one piece since the beginning of impel down. that iceberg flew for 2 fucking whole minutes before akainu started to take action.
other than that, it was an ok episode. the phoenix was very well done.

I lol at the no-design-fodder at the extreme right
And in the spread in the manga most of them (except dalmation man) had the same height .
Wow, that episode kicked ass, made up for the last shitty one, but I hope this doesn't start a trend of shitty then great every other episode like it did for Impel Down. Consistency here would be nice and if Toei can keep giving us episodes like this then this arc may actually live up to the hype and potential
First off the pacing was awesome, only a little bit over a chapter was covered but it seemed like a lot more. The constant action is nice, seeing the various Commanders and Vice-Admirals kick ass is cool too. But above anything was the beautiful animation, that scene of Marco and Kizaru fighting was amazing..I rewinded and watched it again 4 times it was so good. And that is what Anime should do but unfortunately it happens rarely, that it took an awesome scene portrayed in the Manga and made it better…Only thing that slightly bothered me is Akainu's voice..its kind of lacking in..something, I don't know maybe its just me, but his Great Eruption sure looked pretty damn good
Great Pacing, Amazing Animation, Fucking Awesome Fight Scene Between Marco and Kizaru, Great Eruption, and an Epic Entrance for Oars: A+
So one more question : we got to see
! the Giant Squad in full this week ?

What were those messages on screen at the end? I'm assuming the first one was about the Strong World release since it said DVD, but what was that one about 8/27 11:30 and mentions the opening theme?

Maybe it's the release of the One Day's single.
Thanks . Prtey sure Catman never had a nose like that in the manga . Nice to see the purple haired guy though .
Hippo guy looks alright in close up , but the other panels are kinda mehish . Hell he looked better in opening 12 . I wish they would have recycled / recolored that scene and used it here , since this is a little power in quality .

I don't like that nose. But other than that, the giants looks awesome, my favourites are the girl and the purple haired one. I want their names!
Don't ever ask for such thing (edited version would be good though), it happened not many episodes ago. They reused the giant scene from opening 12 and it looked horrible. Or more like fit horrible. It was completely unedited.
That was an awesome episode. I am very pleased with this.
I saw it back then and yes it fit horribly but they were animated much better there and that seems to be this particular moment in the series too .

Well, I think the animation is always better in an opening since it's much shorter and can be used several times (must be).
! About animation, in the preview of the next ep, I saw a really good one. Lacroix (giant) steps over the little humans towards Oars. It looks nice
Just watched the episode.
It was way better than last one, and next one will be really good if it ends correctly.
But…
