RE: Funimation DVD Discussion IV (Please Check First Post for FAQ)
The pacing is the main thing. But also nonstop fighting, little plot, and hard disagree that DoFlamingo was one of the best villains. His backstory is “I’ve been evil since birth, and I want to murder everyone,” and his brilliant plan during this arc was, “Let’s distract Luffy with a fighting tournament” and “Let’s murder everyone with an extremely slowly closing cage.” He had the potential to be one of the best villains—but I think most people had high expectations that he’d have more clever and purposeful plotting/maneuvering and better motivations than he did. I wish the arc’s plotting was more clever, less straightforward and predictable (Luffy/co will get fruit, then they’ll fight their way to Doffy and beat him; birdcage is closing but won’t hurt anyone; etc.). Add to this a number of smaller grievances (Zoro can’t cut string, Fujitora can’t stop the birdcage, and Sabo can’t help Luffy fight Doffy), not to mention the blatant sexism in the Franky fight. Did I mention this arc was nonstop fighting?
It has its high moments—Sabo’s introduction, Sugar vs Usopp, Law’s flashback, gear four, Bart & cabbage. But those are really only moments when you look at how long the arc is—over 100 chapters and episodes. Like I said, the complaints are mostly about the pacing. If he trimmed the fighting and made the arc 40 episodes, it would be a great arc.
I can agree a little that Doflamingo’s plan had some flaws, but I think you misunderstand his backstory. He grew up as a Celestial Dragon and had so much control, and when his father took that away and he could never go back, he decided to take his revenge on the whole world. It traumatized him and he basically went insane, unlike Cora who was able to cope. He was like a perfect antithesis to Luffy, someone who thought they were better than everyone else, like a Celestial Dragon but more powerful.

Catching up on the end of last set. Man, these episodes seem to cover less than half a chapter. Brutally slow with all the townsfolk and allies filler. Also, what the fuck: Fujitora can’t stop the birdcage, an extension of a single Shichibukai’s devil fruit while they’re weak and fighting elsewhere? And Zoro doesn’t even try to cut it? This arc is so f***ing dumb. Oda could’ve at least preoccupied Fujitora and had Zoro cut the strings only for them to regenerate. Such an easy plot hole to fill that’s otherwise glaring stupid…
At the beginning of this arc in the dub, I had started to forget why I hated it. The back half has reminded me.
Will run out of episodes if the new set doesn’t drop in the first week of October. Here’s hoping.
Other than the bad pacing, what was so terrible about this arc? Doflamingo was one of the best villains in the series, and the rest of the arc put the spotlight on Luffy’s new grand fleet. I thought most people enjoyed this arc.

Speaking of Clint, sometimes the script writers lean into really kiddish translations that forget the age of their audience. In episode 700, pirates literally say, “Nahnahnahnabooboo, stick your head in doodoo.” Surely that isn’t so accurate a translation it needed to be written that way. Every so often the dub makes me cringe really hard with its translation, and it does no favors to us arguing (with sub-only idiots) that the dub is good and well-written.
That line your talking about was actually translated pretty well, in japanese I’m pretty sure he said “bunpuku pu” which doesn’t have a direct translation but the one they went with is pretty close.

So what made you think there would be an announcement then? You seemed so sure, but got our hopes up for nothing.

Wow, those episodes were great today. Porchemy and Bluejam's voices really fit. Love Dadan, she cracks me up. Can't wait for the rest to come out.

Wow. It actually happened. I can hardly believe it, but it happened. They actually forgot to release the new episodes.
Figures it'd be on the best arc of One Piece. :getlost:
