I'm going to miss Fight Together. It's easily my favorite opening since Believe.

I'm going to take the Vivi scene as Oda telling Toei to hint at Vivi's return to the crew… and none of you can stop me!

VIVI!

I'm not sure if it's ever been confirmed, but he seems to have the ability to create wind and lightning, so I'm thinking something along the lines of the Storm Storm Fruit.

I hear watch the episode and find out for yourself.

I have a feeling that we are in the long-haul when it comes to filler. Expect Toei to drag the flashback out as long as possible and then milk the other Straw Hat adventures out for as much as they're worth while the manga builds up a buffer.

Cute opening, very nostalgic. Not big on the emphasis on chibi-Luffy and Ace.

It would be nice if Japan could go a while without putting out another half-dozen pedo-bait shows. I'm getting tired of looking for shows that look like they'd be good for my little sister, only to find that they're not appropriate at all for her.

Cover is up.

Was a little jarring to see at first…since I own the wallscroll of that already.

I know I'm WAY behind on my One Piece, but I gotta say that cover is pretty damn cool. Way better than the first batch of S3 covers.

@Kaiolino:

Wait, you think the fact that the only thing people remember from OP is the retarded rap? lol.

Yes. For the vast majority of people, the only thing they know about One Piece is its retarded rap. I have a friend who's just as big into anime as I am, but he doesn't watch One Piece and anytime I bring it up he starts singing "Ya Yo Ya Yo"…

At which point I threaten/inflict physical violence. He'll learn one of these days.

@Kaiolino:

Your theory is proven wrong by Dragon Soul, which is a hit on Nicktoons, regardless of its "Japanese" opening.

You know, using anything related to Dragonball to make that point is kind of silly considering the fact that the vast majority of DBZ fans prefer Rock The Dragon to Cha-La.

Anyway, trimming the openings down to a minute probably wouldn't be too difficult, and if it is, it's not like they have to use them all anyway. They could trim down We Are and use it all the way to the end of Arabasta if they wanted, skipping Believe entirely.

Or just make a new one from scratch. It wouldn't really matter.

Both covers are okay. Certainly a step-up from the first two of the season.
