470: ''The Swordsman Mihawk! Luffy Faces the Black Sword's Slash''

MasterKingJC

This episode was ok at best.

-Mihawk vs Jimbei filler was random. And why the hell did ALL the cannons focus ONLY on Jimbei when there are hundreds of pirates on the battlefield? Fail.

-Does Mihawk have flying powers?? What other reason is there for his amazing super jump?

-Luffy's arms getting sliced off looked brutal and well animated.

-The HancockxLuffy honeymoon filler is just unnecessary. It's getting old, Toei. And Smoker's getting too oblivious.

I liked how Crocodile called Doflamingo "flamingo shit". XD
The Gum Gum Jet Human Shield was well done. Buggy's joke before getting hit by his own Muggy ball actually made me laugh.

-Mihawk slicing the ice wave was really awesome!

-Am I the only one who noticed they copied the Volume 57 cover
after Mihawk's speech?

-The Pacifista Army's entrance looked awesome, too. Rise of the Machines!

Next week is going to be awesome. Stabby stabby. Keeping my fingers crossed for this one.

I think you have to tag that as a spoiler dude.

Alright I just watched the whole episode. It's pretty good, I wasn't bored at all. Yeah it did have a Hancock filler which wasn't that bad, sure Buggy filler was bound to happen but it was funny, Jinbei vs Mihawk wasn't bad either it was like what? A minute..at the most. Everything else was pretty cool. The only problems I had was Luffy running normal during Gear 2nd. So overall I'm satisfied. =D

! No, I don't. No one knows who I'm talking about(unless they've read the manga). I just said that there will be a betrayal.

I think three stars is too much for Yamashita…hopefully she'll prove otherwise tonight.

Bentham

Didn't like much of this episode except for vista vs mihawk and iva's reaction to the px's

icel

Lol, the Doflamingo and Crocodile part was great!

I especially love the part where Doflamingo is just a giant flying fluff ball~

HoboBozo

Great episode, with the exception of Boa scene being a little dragged out.

Sphingx

Despite the fact I quite like Hancock as a character, I detest those Hancock daydream fillers. Sheesh all they had to do was extend the fight between Smoker and Hancock in real time as a filler and it would have been far better.

Otherwise, episode was good. Not superlative, but quite ok.

BoaHRuffyLover

woohoooo Hancock

@Hinscher:

as for pacing, i HATED the little recap it had like towards the end of the episode. I mean really a recap during an episode? that is bulshit

All things considered I would prefer them recapping this way - rather then the next episode or future episodes being all recap - 2-3 mins of recap > 22mins of recap and delay episode by another week.

projectelf

Wow was nice to see Doflamingo avoided the sables like that.

Xaravir

Mihawk vs. Luffy fight was crap. Luffy was barely even affected by the huge green LASER BEAMS that Mihawk shoots out from his sword. It just sort of jostled him around a bit.

That Mihawk vs. Jimbei fight was seriously weird. Mihawk's sword sort of went to Jimbei's side and then Jimbei punched air or something and then all of a sudden BIG GREEN EXPLOSION and Jimbei crashes into the ice and then the water…what?

The Buggy joke completely ruined the part where Mihawk deflects Buggy's bomb back to him.

Also, when Ivankov is looking towards Luffy and Mihawk is...running after him like little kids playing tag.

And Jimbei poking his head out of the ice was awkward.

kuoh

@SGRaaize:

Toei

Luffy Gear Second is supposed to go Jet-Speed, either put a Slow-Mo effect or that Teleport Effect from DBZ, don't freaking put him running normally as if he wasn't Gear Second

Mihawk's slice wasn't a colossal slash that passed through everything, the cool thing about it was that it went below any other target and busted Luffy right in the torso

What the heck is up with the impact, anyways? Luffy is clearly getting hit with the green impact, but it just shoves him off, as if Rubber was also invulnerable from cutting or something, yet another reason why the cutting shouldn't have been just a colossal slash but rather a Pound-Ho Styled precise Sniper-Like slash

Mihawk jumped 1000 feet there, and it didn't feel minimally realistic, at all

Mihawk's fall was even worse, it just screamed "weird" like few other stuff

What was up with Ivankok looking around and seeing Luffy running at normal speed from Mihawk, it looked like a Beverly Hills episode with the Saxophone music, Mihawk is not supposed to be running around like an idiot

The Ice slash was fucking aw- Well, alright, the Ice Slash was pretty cool, Toei did a good job on that one

Real 7) Mihawk talking with Jimbei made no sense, what was up with him acting surprised because of Jimbei

Mihawk's new dialogue reeks of "I dunno his character at all", even I could have wrote a FanFic that followed Mihawk's ~~lack off~~ personality better

What the heck is up with Mihawk slashing around like a maniac and Luffy just casually evading everything? It made sense at the first time, with the Ice stuff, in which Luffy desperately escapes something on the last nano-second, but repeating it to Ad Nauseaum just takes any impact from it and makes Mihawk look like a total tool

Mihawk slashing Buggy was awesome, but it just showed how even more ridiculous it is for Mihawk to fail miserably at slashing Luffy after slashing precisely Buggy like a apple

THAT FREAKING BUGGY JOKE AS THE BOMB IS TURNING BACK TO HIM… OASDKSOAJDOASJFDAOKLPOSAXJASPOIFNDSNAKGA

The filler battle was ridiculous, not even DBZ has fights animated like that, seriously, what the hell was that even supposed to try to represent?

I lol'd so hard at everyone looking at Luffy, like, his allies, and stuff, I specially lol'd at Jimbei coming from the water, was that seriously supposed to be taken seriously?

Mihawk VS Vista was fucking aw- Alright, that one was good too

So, Bad Mihawk Moments vs Good Mihawk Moments: 13 - 4 (The moment where he sliced the 2 Kamas was also sweet)

Some of your complains i am not sure if are for the manga or the anime.

Alex G

q00t! :D love it..

Nolus

I seriously got tired of Hancock. Please, it's like Ace's strange sounds, which haunted us for many episodes. Now it's terrible Hancock fillers. Why not give some screentime for characters we barely saw for example some of the Vice-Admirals or other marines or Jonathan. Who wouldn't love a filler with him? And he's there, they showed him arriving at Marineford.

But this ep had it's good moments. Especially the end.

Next week looks promising. But please, Toei, no more Hancock. It was enough.

Kishido

So Toei is hyping the Mihawk train by letting him own Jimbei… WOW... But I have to say I was somehow dissapointed by the episode. Only the Vista and Tsunami scene were OK in my eyes

Sâuza

The fight was lame.
The filler jinbei was lame and made no sense.

Only things that made e chuckle were Jinbei popping out from ice and Luffy's "I want to eat your homemade dishes".

Soo wrong.

Silverblade

An average Yamashita episode. Nothing reallly stellar to point out except for the Pacifista appearing.

On a higher note, we finally get to the better part of the War - volume 58.

city_lights31

I was hoping the Croc/Doflo and Luffy/Hawkeye interactings would wow me more…the Buggy explosion scene wasn't a tenth as funny as it was in the manga...all the filler was weak….so-so epi.

Refii

Mihawk fanboys crying around the world.

Vista for crewmember!

Spectre

I was hoping the Mihawk vs Luffy fight would be better after Mihawk's epic entrance last episode :sad:

Did like the part where he talked about Luffy's ability to gather allies to his side.

Did not like the parts where Mihawk was letting loose his green laser beams from his sword and jumping up in the air higher than Doug Benson.

Halfmetal-lich

Another solid episode, I too felt the Hancock fantasy wasn't needed, but i still laughed my ass off.

It's gonna be a pacifista blitzkrieg next week.

marte1980

IMO in this episode the animation looked like shit! Seriously, the moves of the Luffy-vs-Mihawk and Vista-vs-Mihawk fights looked like something taken from an anime of the 80s. Bodies always in the same positions, no real movements, just the same frame with different angles, deformed faces! Really, this animation is horrible. If that weren't enough, we got all those fillers about Hancock, again, and that stupid part about Mihawk and Jinbei, which is basically an insult to Jinbei. What the hell are they doing to this anime?
Another thing I noticed, it seems like there are at most 50/60 people in there! Where the hell did they put the huge-battle effect? If you compare this thing to the battle at Alabasta, this one seems like a little fight in my neighborhood!

It's called "We can only do one chapter, so we gotta add shit to fill up the time."

I'd rather have things like Hancock fantasies, or Jinbei vs Mihawk, instead of long ass staredowns or power up sequences.

Well, I certainly don't want to see something like the in-famous Orochimaru's scene, coming back from the forest and staring at Naruto for something like 5 minutes or more, but I don't even want to see someone like Jimbei treated like an idiot.

Halfmetal-lich

Well it's filler, so it isn't canon.

OR better yet, we could get some fight filler. This is supposed to be a huge ass war. They should be showing the WB pirates fighting the Marines. Come on, Toei, step your game up!

cheaptrick

I'm especially disappointed by hancock's filler because i was really expecting a continuation of her fight against smoker (but I still have some hope we'll get to see it in the next few episodes) . for everything else, SGRaaize already gave a good review:-)

RPG KING

some of you guys I don't know why ya''ll come to the anime forum. I know some things were off in this episode but its hard to duplicate what Oda does every week

Hiroy

Good thing I'm not watching this until the arc's semi-conclusion.

IamGod

Wow so many whiners…

Watched it. Enjoyed it for what it was. Nuff said.

Pipio

LOL @ Jimbei looking like a whack-a-mole XD.

ARO

Agreed if you dont like the animation stop watching and keep your bitching to yourself.

SGRaaize

Haha
If you want to hear only your opinion or opinions close to your views, you can always get out of, oh, I dunno, a freaking forum, maybe?

ARO

The reason why Im here is too see what people thought about the episode but when someone like you writes a whole freaking essay on only negatives its annoying as hell.

Fire-Fist

to me episode was just OKAY. not really bad and not really good.

SGRaaize

@ARO:

Except I gave my opinion, that also had positives
I'm sorry, but you have no reason whatsoever to hate my post and not hate anyone else's post, except because of my opinion

InvaderP

The episode was alright.
The only things that bugged me was the awkward as ever Hancock-dream sequence and the fact that Luffy wasn't supposed to be in Gear Second when he used the "Gum Gum Scapegoat" for the second time. He didn't even say "JET Scapegoat", but they kept him in Gear Second in the anime. Oh yeah, Buggy's joke was horrible and unnecessary.

Other than that, the episode was okay. I thought the Mihawk vs Jimbei filler was cool. With the exploding cannonballs and all. The ending with the Pacifistas was epic.

Tsukishima

SGRaaize explained very well why this episode wasn't that good.

ARO

@SGRaaize:

Toei
You can do whatever you want with the freaking Hancock fillers
You can do whatever you want with the freaking Buggy fillers
You can waste half of the episode on funny stuff

On one freaking condition:
MAKE THE CANON STUFF ACTUALLY WELL ANIMATED AND PACED

Seriously, every moment of Mihawk looked like shit, I dunno what you guys are talking about when you say it was cool
So many complains out of my head, and yes, they are nitpicks, but together, they form a big freaking complaint

Luffy Gear Second is supposed to go Jet-Speed, either put a Slow-Mo effect or that Teleport Effect from DBZ, don't freaking put him running normally as if he wasn't Gear Second

Lol this was your post a little excessive dont you think? and why would I hate you I dont even know you?

Maybe, One Piece fans whine a bit too much.

Imagine if it had turned out like if naruto was more popular in Japan.

Didn't read the other pages, but did anyone else notice that they used the volume 57 cover (with some additions) for the shot with Luffy and his allies?

Yes, that was pretty awesome, damn the music was epic as well.

I think they added Crocodile, Buggy gang, the impel down prisoners. Which was even more awesome.

Holy shit. I laughed so damn hard when he was like "MY PAIN IS FAR GREATER THAN YOURS" Now THAT is some shitty animation and drawings. I mean it randomly changes style. From human-like to something out of a tom and jerry cartoon. When Pein was rolling it looked like he was just rolling over and over. The kyuubi is apparently fused with the water and Pein can fucking surf land.

Monkey D

@marte1980:

and that stupid part about Mihawk and Jinbei, which is basically an insult to Jinbei.

For what reason is that an insult to Jinbei ? He made a draw with Mihawk and that was already a fact that he will do all he can to permit to Luffy to reach Ace.

@ARO:

If you don't like other people's whining stop reading and keep the bitching to yourself.

Seriously, this is what a forum is and if you don't agree with what other people think of the episode well, sorry but that's bound to happen.

Back to topic…I think I have to recharge my rifle to show Toei that Hancock fillers are just stupid.

Mihawk jumped 1000 feet there, and it didn't feel minimally realistic, at all

Mihawk's fall was even worse, it just screamed "weird" like few other stuff

Lol. Realistic and One Piece are two concepts that are mutually exlusive and non-existant as a single being. Garp throwing a ship-size cannonball that appeared almost out of nowhere?
P.S: @sanji499: Lol that naruto episode was such an epic fail when it came to animation and other ridiculous stuff.
