Yes, Lacroix is the giant. The manga left doubts about that, but the anime solved it.
(The Mariejoa Vice-Admiral is nicknamed Grandstache, Epicstahce, Frenchstache etc.)
The manga never left it in any doubt. It was obvious the giant was lacroix.

If I remember correctly, there were some people who thought otherwise. I'm not one of them, I always knew, the giant was Lacroix, but lately I started to feel the name suits Grandstache better.
Lacroix sounds so awesome that it isn`t fitting for a fodder marine giant:sad:
Crossword mentioned that about "Hancocks music" before too but is it really a Sanji theme I listned to it again but cant pick where(or if) that theme was played previously.
It makes sense with her close combat style being similar to Sanji's but still…
.....Needs investigating :ninja:
That's the first time that track's been played in the anime. It's called "Sanji's Leg of Wing ~This is a Taste of East Blue Love!~". It's from Sanji's fight with Scarlet in Movie 10.
Wow, seeing hancock fight was pretty awesome. Poor oars :(
No love for random blonde pirate ending his sword fight with a punch in the face?
huh ? you mean the giant marine right ?
Art seems better this time around .
Anyways what are we gonna call the guy with the club . You know the one
! who gets punched/knocked out by Luffy ?

Haha yeah, I thought that was hilarious. First they fought with swords, then the pirate was like "Fuck this" and just punched that guy in the face.
Anyway, that episodes was FANTASTIC. I'm very surprised how good Toei handled this. I absolutely hated the chapter and thought it was boring as hell, but it was actually pretty dramatic how Oars was so close to Ace, reached his hand out, but just couldn't get him. Hancock kicked ass, too.
If the rest of the Marineford arc has this quality, I'm pretty damn happy. I read the the chapter that was covered in this episode and was surprised how little material it had, but Toei handled it fantastically. It had only 14 pages or so, but the episode didn't feel dragged out at all. Except maybe Kuma preparing the Ursus Shock, but that's it.
And I lol'd at Oars' crew members.

Either we call him something that doesn't mean anything (not like Lacroix= the cross), or something so unmanly (it's a real word, right?) which suits a bearded dude like him.
So [insert random name here] or Cherry.
But seriously, I don't know, the others are a little bit easier, but him, I have no idea.
Well his backwards cap reminds me of the stuff people refer to with the "gangsta" moniker , so how about "Ice" ? :ninja:

Hm, not bad, but it gives me the feeling that he should wear something on his upper body, like he's from a cold, frozen country/kingdom.
No , I meant Ice from "Vanilla Ice" lol :P
as in "a failed rapper" .
I like the guy alot though .
Best damn thing was Boa and her awesomes, second was awesome Ursus Shock, what IS damn awesome ablity. Great episode overall, crappy art. When comes Tate guys?
@No:

Oh right! Now that I look at him… Oda has to give him that name!
By the way, did you notice some of them have elf-like ears? Hippo and Ice I think. (also Catman, but since he's a cat [zoan maybe] it's not that strange)
Edit: Catman has cat ears, my bad.
Catman is as much a zoan as any of Kuro's crew methinks .
Also I realy hope that nose is not cannon . The manga pics I saw definitely show nothing of the sort .

A giant bearded cat would be hilarious.
They changed the nose in this ep, but only in one pic. The other pic has the red one.

I won't be so sure of that
!
I remember seeing that . Then again I hoped it was just a flub .
huh ? you mean the giant marine right ?
No, this happened at the beginning of the episode. That guy is an example of how all pirates should act.
Nice episode, but I don't really understand the hype of this episode being so "bloody". For a war with the biggest powerhouses, It wasn't. By far.
Looking forward to next week's episode & someone needs to send Oda a SBS about the female giant's name! That's actually the first female giant we've seen in One Piece.
oh, and new avatar.
How about all their names and maybe a little better quality picture of the ones in the back we never realy got to see ?
@No:

How about more screentime? Although, I have nothing to complain about, this week's ep has plenty of Giant action, but I fear later they will be vanished.
Oh, and finally they drew Onigumo's abdomen!
Nolus my friend , that pic , while adorable , just does not suite you :P
@No:

Hell, I knew I should've made an avatar out of Hippo or Ice instead.
Is this one better?
By the way, the scene where femGiant shouted: "You cut Lacroix" was really cute.
Yeah better, though you should aim for something more manly .
A question : the original pic of the giant squad I have shows the afro guy having a black moustache , that in other versions too ?

How about this avatar? It must be manly enough, it has beard!
But why manly? I'm a woman.
Which giant has an afro? The one who was on the far left?
To my knowledge, the only giant that has mustache is Ice. Not sure about Ronse.
A woman ?
What in the holy mother of - ?!!!
The one on the extreme left .

I'm pretty sure he doesn't have a mustache.
@No:
Look closely
That's his mouth. He's smiling.
Yeah I know but it kind of looks like he has a "silent movie" villian moustache thanks to the black part behind his head coresponding to the mouth .
And he would look much more awesome with a stache like that .

I like Doberman's mustache more, but I agree, that giant would be cool with the villain stache.
A villian stache and an afro .
The image of the harbringer of the apocalypse :ninja:

No .gif of the female gaint getting punched by oars yet?
first half: boring because of slow pacing
oars vs the giant squad: very awesome addition, filler isn't always bad it seems
kuma part: awesome but the pacing was horrbile
dolfamingo part: very very awesome, they handled the scene perfectly imo.
moria part: oh damn it, i was looking forward to it. finally a badass moment for moria and the anime staff fails it. it lacked oomph.
The new episode of One Piece was actually… really, really good. Perfectly paced action scenes, makes you love Oars Jr. even more, and was overall an epic experience. One of their best in years I'd say.

First one to say the Dolfamingo part was good.
Although some of the filler parts were good, I thought the pacing was horrible.
Did anyone else notice how Ace's eyes got bigger and bigger as the episode went on?
@Lace:

I think everyone noticed, it was just impossible to not see.
If this chapter was voted as the worst chapter of the war (or something like that), this episode was one of the best, and I was a bit sad in the end. The pacing was wrong, but it didn't even bothered me.
Don't know if already posted, but those images are good/interesing.
Epic Moria is always epic.

Oars Crew, wut?

They also improved the ugly moria face from the manga to something less ugly but still ugly.(or am I thinking of the wrong chapter)
Ugh, painfully slow episode. The only part that went better than expected was that they didn't spend a terribly long time on the flashback, but to make up for it, everything else was slow as fucking molasses. Giant squad was the only memorable thing - I would have been happy with more filler of them fighting that dragging everything else out.
Did I mention it was slow? Damn.
If anyone wants to make gifs of the punch, or Hancock's moves and what not, I clipped an HD mp4 from before the punch and up to where Kuma fires Ursus Shock.

Good ep . Though Doflamingo's seiyuu kinda flunked it this time round .
Also lol at the ridiculously hideous Sengoku pic during Ursa shock .

Yeah, Sengoku looked kinda evil. Something is missing. where's his goat?
Meh dude this is going slow :| I wanna see Luffy =| Can't they make the EPs faster xd
First one to say the Dolfamingo part was good.
i felt that scene made him seem so badass. i really didn't think much of him in the manga. unlike some other people here, i liked the voice too.

Ordering the commanders to fight harder or be eaten. Where else? :silly:
