Oger (<- His name is DUTCH-based "ooge" noch GERMAN-based "Auge")
Actually, I'm pretty sure he's named after a real-life pirate named Auger… John Auger, I think.

Van Auger's the name.
After watching this episode, Ace is most definitely not dead. Why? Because his hat fell off way before the climax. Blackbeard is pretty thick headed, so he probably left Ace to die and went straight for Luffy.
I really hope your reasoning goes beyond that.

Exactly that was my impression, too.
wow… just wow... I can't wait to see the "big event" that this triggers.
This is the One Piece I fell in love with. Very good episode, it's in my top 5. Ace is just so darn hot =D (no pun intended) and I just loved this through and through
and I doubt he's dead as well, I mean it's Oda for crying out loud XD

Blackbeard doesn't seem like he's all that "thick headed." Not to mention the fact that if he turns in Ace, then there's no need to go after Luffy. Ace likely has a much larger bounty (or at least renown) than Luffy, even if he didn't, he'd still accomplish his goal.

2 complaints
-There was too much Ace fan-service in this episode ._.;
-Black Beards fruit powers should have been black and purple, not chimney smoke gray
Other then that. I loved it
Good things about this episode:
No dragging, nice effects, great "big event coming" feeling at the end, blackbeard is really cool as a bad guy
Stuff I didn't like:
Ace voice seemed tired, damn villagers cutting the action, was too short :)
Overall, a nice episode, story trigger, and damn faster to sub than the usual
You'd think it'd come to mind that Teach is NOT interested in Ace's bounty.
He said he had it all planned out how he would conquer the world, and this involves Luffy, who has a MUCH lower bounty than the people we are to see the bounties of. My point is, Luffy is being involved in this because he has the government's attention, and Teach KNOWS he would have the Government's good side facing him if he caught a criminal that needs elimination right now.
Therefore, Ace's only use would be bait to lure Luffy to him, or to just leave Ace to die and go after Luffy himself.
Either one could work.
Holy Ace, batman..
BEST EPISODE EVA (not really, that goes to the usopp vs. luffy episodes to me)
! fff
!
Anyone know how long BB can keep things in his "black hole"? Maybe Ace isn't dead just trapped…
^That'd be great if he would carry Ace inside him at WG lol.
so what is Kochikame Special on 9/30 and 10/7?!!!
Kochikame is a long ass anime/manga about a cop and his friends at the station and the daily crap they get into. I wish someone would sub those, I've kinda always wanted to watch Kochikame.
thanks Really Square.
i remember him. he is in JUS :)
Okay, finally watched the episode, it was good, but yeah, I think someone mentiond this earlier, but Blackbeard's voice did sound a little different.
Blackbeard didn't sound quite as menacing as I thought but I felt the fight was a bit short, but still pretty sweet tho. This was actually my first time hearing Ace's jap voice too, not quite was I expected, but neat as well.
And knowing Oda, Ace is alive (but not well). Probably trapped within BB to be bait for Luffy.
I think the episode was well done, but could have been better. I also think Luffy's bounty is higher than Ace's, mainly because Blackbeard doesn't seem interested in Ace to become a Shichibukai and Luffy was named to most famous from his village and the east. Plus Luffy's Enes Lobby raid is an insult Ace has probably never given to the WG.
However, Blackbeard could just be interested in Luffy because he recognised his strong will/ spirirt and wants to test it towards his own. And Ace may not be from the east; and since he has a different name further suggests it (maybe Shanks' kid from the west?).
I also agree with above that the colour of Blackbeard's darkness should have been darker (pitch black) and not smokey.
I liked the fire versus darkness at the very end, but maybe I should have waited for HD. Oh, well. Good episode. Still, why does One Piece have to be on break for two weeks. T_T Toei ga hidoi desu!!!!!
the ace V blackbeard was amazing def worth the wait i think this fight is how shanks v whitebeard shoulda looked but this was defintley worth it and very amazing.
I enjoyed the episode, though it wasn't really anything stellar. Blackbeard's darkness looked ridiculously lame. :( And Ace sounded like he had throat cancer or something.
Still, some really cool moments, and it's just great hearing Ohtsuka playing Teach again.
I think it's still my favourite voice in the series.
@Mog:

Pretty much my thoughts on it….but I thought Blackbeard's darkness looked fine for what it's worth.
Maybe my hopes were too high, but either way how it was coming up from behind his back or something…. I dunno. And the weird, swirly pool at his feet didn't really help impress either.
I wonder, all you people who thought the fight could have been done better, are you the same people who complain when the anime adds extra scenes/moves to fights? Because I don't get why a lot of people are saying the fight was only so-so when it stuck exactly the the manga
I'm actually part of the odd breed who actually looks forward to some good ''fight filler'' in the anime.
Yeah, I wanted cooler darkness too. something a little more mystical looking? He just looked like Smoker's dirtier cousin or something…
I also thought the pace of the fight was slowed way down compared to the manga, where it all seem to happen in less than a minute.
I guess that's inevitable when you're adapting it to anime, which is why filler is good sometimes (thinking here of Luffy vs Blueno, Gum Gum Missile, etc.).
Also, this is the first (and most likely the only) episode which justifies Ace appearing in the opening credits...
Just imagine if they had of animated Blackbeard's darkness power, solid black, with purple sparkles. That would have been sweet~

Like Bongo Bongo's dust form in Ocarina of Time?

You must admit that WOULD be kick ass.
I love Bongo Bongo for some reason that science could not explain, so I guess I would've ended up liking it…..

Never seen it. Could you post a picture or something? I couldn't find "Bongo Bongo" anywhere…

Best picture I could find of his ''dust'' form.
So, it's a two week break now right? Is it another holiday?
If only there was an episode this week…this would be the perfect One Piece weekend. Awesome chapter, amazing dub premire, all that's missing is a good Japanese episode.
EDIT: ^ Yeah there's a two week break, then filler and new opening.
@Really:

Look at it like this: The dub was so good that it felt like a replacement for the japanese episode. At least I thought so.
I actually thought Blackbeard's darkness was pretty well animated. It could've been better, but it wasn't bad by any standards.
Yeah, BB's darkness was pretty much what i was expecting. There was even that villager in the manga saying "that black smoke is coming out again"..

i second that ….
Does anyone know when the next episode will be aired?
October 14th….
Here are character designs for the upcoming filler arc:
http://www.toei-anim.co.jp/tv/onep/icehunter/index.html
And, title for 326:
「謎の海賊ご一行!サニー呉と危険な罠」
Mysterious Party of Pirates! The Sunny and a Dangerous Trap!
(the Japanese title is from the Fuji TV site, and the English translation came from Anime News Network I believe)
I'm just curious about the new opening. What will the first one involving Franky and Thousand Sunny be like?
We won't know until Sunday….
New titles from newtype:
327. サニー号ピンチ!唸れ超速の秘密メカ
328. 新世界に沈む夢!失意の海賊パズール
329. 襲い来る刺客たち!氷上大バトル開始
I tried translating them but there's something weird with 327's title.
@Geg:

327. サニー号ピンチ!唸れ超速の秘密メカ
Sunny-gou in a Pinch! The Secret Mecha of the Rumbling Super Speed! (Yeah, doesn't make much sense to me either.)
328. 新世界に沈む夢!失意の海賊パズール
Sinking Dream of the New World! Puzzle, the Pirate of Despair!
329. 襲い来る刺客たち!氷上大バトル開始
Assassins Come to Attack! Big Battle Above the Ice Begins!
I think the name in 328's title should be Pazul or something like that. I'm pretty sure puzzle in Japanese is "pazuru" but that name is "pazuuru".
I don't know about you guys but I'm finding the filler so far to be very exciting. We just might have ourselves a new G8 over here.

I know, I was looking at that too, but I just stuck with Puzzle because someone else called him that, and I was too lazy to feel creative.
… Pazule? Pazool ... pff. Pazul ... Pazur?
Meh, I'll stop now.

I just want to see if Acchino dances like I hope he will.
