Not sure I could ever get through this without 1.5 and 2x speed, this arc's pacing is aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaass.
Okoga
2025-02-16 09:30:35 +0000 UTCwhat do you exactly expect Zoro to do? isn't pica basically teleporting through stone? and the ENTIRE CITY is made of the stuff? I don't think Zoro has gps tracking on him either.

2024-11-20 22:15:53 +0000 UTClol Alicia spitting facts again and Zoro fans crying. but Alicia you get to watch this much faster, imagine the pain it was waiting week to week ( sometimes 2 weeks because breaks) just to watch 10 mins of bouncy cry baby jumping around Luffy like it freaking matterd. XD but dont worry from here one One Piece picks up again and gets 1000 times better.

2024-11-17 14:30:39 +0000 UTCTwo episodes ago you said that the anime repeats the same dialogue over and over again and that this makes the anime incredibly painful to watch. Agreed. So allow me to say that repeating the same criticisms about the pacing and the pika and bellamy fights fifteen times in the same video makes your reactions incredibly painful to watch

2024-11-16 01:43:54 +0000 UTCI have to be honest here... Way too much complaining. That level of complaining should be accompanied by an obvious solution that you talk about. I really don't see how anyone could deal with Pika as easily as you think they should. Can't just say BEAT PIKA the moving almost teleporting mountain man...
Azi
2024-11-15 23:42:08 +0000 UTCI also highly disagree with Alicia's take on counting the time when a fight isn't shown as time when it actually happens. I mean, most of these fights happen more or less simultaneously, which I thought was kind of obvious. And that's not just me already having read the story talking.
DrFoto
2024-11-15 17:10:29 +0000 UTCI remember the manga was also bad phased. But not as loong as in the anime. There are episode where they only animated 6-8 panels of the manga. It was a pretty bad time for Toei.

2024-11-13 12:50:50 +0000 UTCLol Alicia calm down, it ain't that serious. Pica is difficult to kill coz he doesn't expose his real body, the punch wouldn't work either. Combined with this arcs terrible pacing it's frustrating but damn, hyperventilating over it is crazy lol
Jack Queen
2024-11-12 12:43:25 +0000 UTCA lot of people are defending Zoro, but let's be honest, the only REAL reason his fight has dragged on this long is because as the unofficial vice-captain his fight almost always need to be the 2nd to last to wrap up.
Grandmasta
2024-11-12 07:12:52 +0000 UTCApparently, it's serious enough to earn your response

WarStorm
2024-11-12 02:23:14 +0000 UTCAlicia, seriously? What, exactly, were you expecting Zoro to do against someone who can't be pinned down? You're going to shit on Zoro and blame him for what Pica does, when aside from Fujitora, Doffy, and maybe Law and Senior Pink, Pica literally hard walls literally everyone in the entire kingdom? Go on, tell us. What could Zoro have done differently, while trying to figure out how to get to Pica's actual body - a body that he has only shown to Zoro _once_. If you're going to be "disappointed" in Zoro and mock him for his performance in this fight, at least make your reasons realistic.

2024-11-11 13:48:48 +0000 UTCAnd even then manga doesn't "check in" so much. So it doesn't feel so stretched out as focusing on the other big fight happening mainly.

Rat #41
2024-11-11 11:46:32 +0000 UTCChapter 769 is when Bellamy chooses to fight Luffy after Doffy tells him he is free. Chapter 779 is when Luffy finally beats him. So ten chapters vs 12 episodes of Bellamy stalling Luffy.

2024-11-11 07:38:46 +0000 UTCone of my faroite sceens in one peice never made it to the anima its a page on the manga before the time skip luffy is setting with raily and askes him "do you think they will get it " .. raily respnds i only see one problem ..and it cuts to zorro all fucked up in bed just staring at the paper blanky lol purrona trying to explain it to him

ThiccRoman
2024-11-11 00:05:42 +0000 UTCHonestly i understand how you feel but its not zoro's fault. If you have to chase a person who can EASILY move from point A to point B instantly you wouldnt be blaming zoro so much this episode. Pica's ability allows for that much mobility. Mind you dressrosa is big. Pica can go from the castle to the ground in an instant while zoro(excluding his sense of direction) still have to run everywhere. Its not that zoro is not motivated or anything. Pica has been running from the fight, he barely made any move towards zoro at all ever since the "fight" started.
Billy Lo
2024-11-10 23:35:34 +0000 UTCThe pacing in dressrosa is ass. Push through it your almost free!
Roon Kaz
2024-11-10 21:56:30 +0000 UTCSome say that to this very day, Bellamy is still bouncing around not listening to Luffy...
YuiYui
2024-11-10 21:41:15 +0000 UTCYou know what makes the pacing so much better constantly pausing and complaining about the pacing maybe let it play while you complain idk. ppl warned you of the pacing beforehand like we get the pacing is bad but constantly complaining about it is getting annoying to watch this will be all i say ill just skip over the complaining going forward just my constructive criticism. I normally binge through the episodes when you post them but these last few have me feeling like the snake part all over again where i had to take breaks it doesn't make for a fun reaction but I understand you are just expressing how you feel just cut back on the complaining a lil or just let it run as you complain please. This was very hard to watch i skipped most of it you are annoyed at the pacing and you are starting to just shit on everything which sucks to watch.
Tama
2024-11-10 21:22:46 +0000 UTCI completely get what you mean and i agree with you. Those methods of making sure we know the time of things happening sound really nice, like we saw a fight be done and go to another, but in the middle of it we see lther things happening only subtly in the background of the other fights? I really hope the OP remake will do a good job, because Toei's fishman remake sucks balls with all these weird jumpcuts, cut comedy and even canon cuts. But i don't have high hopes
Denaze
2024-11-10 20:50:35 +0000 UTCI want to clarify something. In the manga Oda doesn't revisit scenes unless something is happening in said scene. So while Luffy vs Bellemy, and Zoro vs Pika's fights seem to be going on forever they actually have been padding the crap out of them showing them unnecessarily when the focus in the manga had shifted to other fights that had been happening at the same time.
Alicia Barkley
2024-11-10 20:47:39 +0000 UTCI agree, let the moss-head cook, You're gonna Love it.3
Chris White
2024-11-10 19:52:31 +0000 UTCI may be wrong, but I haven't heard you/don't remember you speaking about this so I'm gonna yap about the logistics of this fight. Zoro has seemingly been unable to damage pika despite using armament haki and observation haki. The only time Zoro dealt actual damage to Pika was when he was not in the stone. So with that in mind, Zoro has up to this point essentially been unable to damage Pika unless Pika basically gave him the opportunity to do so. So it hasn't been as straight forward of a fight as it may seem. Plus although it's gotten a lot of screen time 90% of that was basically just padding because Toei wanted to show the fight despite there not being any canon progress to actually show.

2024-11-10 16:53:55 +0000 UTCGood thing about dressrosa is that every arc after it feel like the pacing goes like a gazelle.

2024-11-10 15:53:42 +0000 UTCIn total I only count 6 chapters that even featured the Bellamy fight in the manga.

2024-11-10 10:55:58 +0000 UTCAlicia thought she was gonna catch up during the 6 month One Piece break. Turns out she needs her own 6 month One Piece break.
Johnathon
2024-11-10 10:12:05 +0000 UTCThe pacing is bad, because they released a weekly show for a manga that wasn't keeping up with that pace, not because it's jumping around between perspectives. The manga does that as well, but it managed to be well paced, so the issue is with the anime. And yes, the manga jumped around less, but doesn't really fix the anime doing something badly. They shouldn't have done that. They should have focused more on each fight, instead of hopping to random scenes of Luffy fighting Bellamy. Most of these fights an episode of two if you cut all the jump cuts in and out into one place. It would have probably been significantly more enjoyable to watch as well, jumping around makes it feel like time is moving constantly, rather than doing one fight and jumping to another. There are even ways of creating that sense of time while doing that, with global effects that you can notice during each separate fight. A man the size of a mountain, dude who blows ups a mountain side, a damn bird cage, there are so many MASSIVE effects during this arc that could have been used to achieve the sense of timing while giving each fight their own episodes, but no. They did... this. The worst paced arc in One Piece.
I'm following way too many nsfw accounts to use a name here
2024-11-10 10:06:41 +0000 UTCZoro is funny cuz he feels like an intelligent character with his position and some moments in the show. Like if you think at Sanji he fights smart and uses his brain in a lot of situations. But honestly Zoro is just a himbo. He gets overshadowed by Luffy a lot cuz Luffy is so insanely stupid that he manages to nerf himself half the time, but Zoro is in the exact same category of cut first ask questions later.
Akmen
2024-11-10 09:26:22 +0000 UTCI mean, I won’t lie. We know where Zoro’s skills are at by this point. I’m pretty sure Zoro could’ve absolutely diced the mountain face. Rendered it into a fine mist if he tried hard enough. Especially when pica does pop out his face.
Delek Master
2024-11-10 08:25:12 +0000 UTCHeck, I'd argue that the pacing combined with trying to match it with the manga in how the fights go both need to be reworked. Jumping around in fights wasn't a bad thing in the manga, but the anime needs time to let them breath.
Roto
2024-11-10 07:43:20 +0000 UTCIt doesn't help that they mostly stopped with filler. As much as some of the filler is hit or miss.. It did give the animators time to breath before catching back up to the manga.
Roto
2024-11-10 07:42:25 +0000 UTCAll the fights are happening around the same time, while we are watching one fight the other's might as well be paused. An hour of fighting could be taking place in just 5 minutes of actual time. If the arc is 100+ episodes, it would have taken 2 years to air them, but all this happens in the span of a day, even just several hours. How many episodes something takes has no bearing on the actual time.
Koga Wolfe
2024-11-10 07:30:15 +0000 UTCYeah when we have screen time for one person, time freezes for everyone else, it’s like playing chess where everyone else sits idly while only the one we are focused on makes the move
Emperor Moist
2024-11-10 07:28:53 +0000 UTCThis whole arc takes place in the span of a day. It's so funny in retrospect
Unsaidrumble
2024-11-10 06:47:16 +0000 UTCThe pacing so bad because everything happens at the same time bjt they can only show us one screen at a time so we always jump forward and backwards in time like anime does. I guess if we were there Zoro started fighting Pica like 15-20 minutes ago
Denaze
2024-11-10 06:46:07 +0000 UTCI'm pretty sad to hear zoro just be shit on here. I think it makes sense why he had trouble taking Pica down because dude is just running/moving through stone. I understand the frustration of the awful pacing but the thing that made me sad is that i was really hyped when he made his silly plans and you don't seem to enjoy it at all. I feel like i'm a stupid child for popping off seeing this scene in such negative light. It feels like these reactions become more and more of a pacing problem itself and it's only fun like 2% of the time. When an executive falls we pop off and go back to shitting on everything else
Denaze
2024-11-10 06:43:36 +0000 UTCWell ok Zoro has said the same thing before with a similar shot before the to be continued panel, but let me ask one thing: did he have his bandana on back then??
Lucas Prestes
2024-11-10 05:26:22 +0000 UTCYeah on zoros side here, pacing is still terrible but on the matter of pica, that dude is a grade AAA scumbag, basically usopp without any of the good sides and without moral code, pica doesn't wanna fight, he does what he can to stall, flee, escape etc. He won't take on an opponent that could hurt him 1 on 1 unless forced to do so, he always escapes to stay safe and would rather attack those not willing to fight or too weak/injured to do so, think of enemies in games that don't fight but only ever run away super fast, those are literally the worst to fight, absolutely infuriating, so hey they captured that feeling very well, imagine how zoro feels fighting that little bitch... Pacing still ass tho like I said... But not Zoros fault tbh. I can't think of any ability that could effectively fight that scaredy cat without knowing where his weak spot is or if he even has one when in rock form unless you nuke and melt the entire rock surface of the island...
TheGodofCruelty
2024-11-10 05:18:51 +0000 UTCI had a feeling I was being generous. All I could remember for certain was that the Day was well underway when they arrived in Dressrosa and that the fighting ends before nightfall, so I just rolled with it.
BakaSama
2024-11-10 04:42:07 +0000 UTCZoro started the outside fight with Pica in episode 685... its been 34 episodes so far
KuroOberon
2024-11-10 04:41:38 +0000 UTCeven one day is generous, the original plan was to meet doffy at 3pm, so they arrive mid-afternoon and somehow this all happens and its not even night yet. its been maybe 6 hours
KuroOberon
2024-11-10 04:37:29 +0000 UTCHe couldn't hit the main body since he just kept moving into different parts of the stone
Icy
2024-11-10 04:30:30 +0000 UTCIn zoro's defence there was nothing he could do to hurt or stop pica from doing whatever he was doing, he just keeps regenerating and ignoring anything, not much anyone can do in that situation without knowing what to do
Emperor Moist
2024-11-10 04:18:48 +0000 UTCThe funny thing is…this entire 100 plus episode arc takes place in the span of just one day.
BakaSama
2024-11-10 04:14:35 +0000 UTCzoro has, in fact, not had 10 hours fighting pica. Law met with doflamingo at 3, only a little after luffy and the others stopped at the bar for food and met Fujitora. zoro probably started fighting Pica at around 5 or so, and it's not even sunset yet. so zoro has been fighting pica for under 2-2.5 hours

2024-11-10 03:42:06 +0000 UTCTo be fair, toei did put a slow pace to this arc because it was getting too close to the manga, so they did it on purpose to give oda more time to keep the distance

2024-11-10 03:40:23 +0000 UTCOn DnD terms, Zoro is a fighter They only have one plan "Apply Sword" If problem dont solve, apply more sword 😂🤣 To be fair with zoro, he has been fighting pica the whole time, pica is the one hidding in the rocks and running away from one place to another, zoro has been following him and trying to chop him up for like 20 episodes, not his fault, and for once, he hasnt been lost since the enemy is so big and easy to find, but damn, pica is a coward, he just use stone and dont fight directly... not like god ussop who likes to shot from afar and dont fight directly... wait
Faroth
2024-11-10 03:39:56 +0000 UTCas of now luffy has been fighting Bellamy for 20 episodes (since 698)
Emperor Moist
2024-11-10 03:36:34 +0000 UTCyeah, post time skip, we started getting 1 chapter per episode instead of the normal 3 chapters per episode. bellamy vs luffy is 10 chapters, so 10 episodes. we fixing it though, so don't worry

2024-11-10 03:02:12 +0000 UTCThe last blow on Diamante is him bashing the back of his stupid head on Scarlet's grave is so poetic.
ChaosSepher
2024-11-10 02:37:00 +0000 UTCOne thing that I realized is even if Robin was inclined to interfere in that fight is that Diamante's powers work on himself. So her usual tactics wouldn't do anything if he makes his own body fluttery and cloth like.
ChaosSepher
2024-11-10 02:30:39 +0000 UTCI don't know if you realized, but technically the mom got the final hit on diamante. You can say she did it from beyond the grave.... Okay I'll leave now. It was episode 685 all the way to whenever he defeats pica. I'm not going to spoil you what episode but it's all the way until he defeats him. Alicia turning into a Karen is great.

vincent shiflett
2024-11-10 00:48:10 +0000 UTCZoro's fights are always resolved 2nd to last, and even if Zoro does know Pica's weakness, his ability still makes it hard to fight him if he keeps disappearing.
Draconic
2024-11-10 00:44:28 +0000 UTCThere's a lotta shit that should be given to these episodes because of a lotta things, especially cuz of the pacing, but Zoro for sure ain't one of those things lmao, lets quit the tripping. You don't beat the arguably 2nd strongest person on this crew with the ability he has just like that, bro doesn't have any ability to move around as much as Pica can, giving this fight shit when its one of the only ones making sense is crazyass. You get a sexy mf with an open top suit fighing for a dozen episodes, appreciate the sexy

Badgersan
2024-11-09 23:40:14 +0000 UTCZoro started fighting Pica at the very end of episode 685. So not counting that, it has been 32 episodes since the fight truly began. Bellamy was freed from control and started fighting Luffy in episode 709, so it has been 10 episodes.
GeeksFTW
2024-11-09 23:39:09 +0000 UTCI'm with you on this fight. Pica's power is amazing for buying time. Unfortunately combined with the cheap tactics Toei is already using to stretch the episodes AND Zoro's history of being a time stealing tool himself, the struggle doesn't really win anyone over. It could have been cool, but it is what it is...

2024-11-09 23:28:00 +0000 UTCIn todays episode of One PIece ROMANTIC Vision a member of a popular Rock Band struggles to take the sword of a local touch-starved Daddy. As drama involving the Daddy´s ex-wife continues to cause tension between them. Meanwhile the touchy Woman whose charm enslaved the Rooster keeps taking backshots, to protect the Daddy´s neglected, and under-dressed, Daughter from suffering the same fate. At the same time a foreign Mad Man is busy getting on top of a giant and rock hard soprano, using his expert sword handling skills. He is especially famous for being able to handle three at once, but dealing with a guy this big this might require him to use all he has learned. Finally, the Jersey Shore Hyena continues talking big about how good he is going to pound the Rubber Boy. How will this Love Triangle end? How many more sub-plots can we stuff into this show? Have the show truly become too sexualized? All these questions, and more, will be answered in the next episode of One Piece ROMANTIC Vision! Also, I can forgive all of Zoros sins and stupidity. Because the crazy moron looks so damn good in a suit.

2024-11-09 23:08:22 +0000 UTCPicas ability is just too slippery for a meathead like zoro + 2 years of training with mihawk isnt going to trivialise every enemy he fights, Mind you the dressrosa pacing is complete ass and the luffy and bellamy fight is unforgiveably padded

2024-11-09 23:01:20 +0000 UTCyeah, these episodes make me feel bad for first time watchers who can't skip around to the good parts, these are also why people recommend one pace bc this isn't even the worst of it
GildedGrimoire
2024-11-09 22:52:43 +0000 UTCyou know you can say its pacing that zoro is taking long to beat pica but pica is technically really strong as long as he keeps switching he cant be hurt. i would say that earlier when zoro first met him and hit him he caught pica of guard since then pica learned to keep switching quickly so zoro is basically ineffective while leading zoro so pica can do what he wants thats just my opinion on why the fight is taking so long or you can just say pacing

Jasmin Jakobsen
2024-11-09 21:08:33 +0000 UTCZoro VS Pica started (when outside the palace) in episode 686 and chapter 749. In the manga, it was resolved in chapter 778 (30 chapters). In the anime, we are at the 33rd episode atm... As for Bellamy's fight, it started in chapter 769 and episode 709 (I'm counting when Bellamy was "released" from Doflamingo's strings). In the manga, that fight was resolved in chapter 779. More importantly, Bellamy's fight was started and resolved in those two chapters alone (both times it took less than half a chapter) and that fight was NEVER shown again between those two chapters. Now, try to count how many times Toei has showed Luffy vs Bellamy since episode 709? That's right... it's why that part feels exhausting and kind of annoying in the anime. I can't blame you for tuning out of Bellamy's plotline. That is the reason I think the anime completely ruined that part.
