I'm okay with this. One Piece filler tends to be better than average; the G8 and Ice Hunter arcs are as good as most canon arcs, and the Straw Hat Separation Arc actually added a lot of great stuff that the manga glossed over.

More to the point, the anime is closer to catching up to the manga right now than it's ever been before, so I wouldn't be surprised if this filler arc is a long one. I kind of hope it is, just so the pace of the anime can pick up a bit once they get to Zou.

Nice try, but the Fourth Great Ninja War arc was only 73 episodes from 261 to 340 (with the six episode Chikara filler arc crammed in the middle). That was followed by the Ten-Tails Revival arc from 341 to 348 (7 eps), then a filler break (Shadow of the Anbu arc), then back from 362 to 393 (31 eps), then filler (Naruto's Back: The tracks of his friends arc), then 414 to 426 ending (12 eps). Then multiple filler arcs from 427 to 458 (Dream World arc, Jiraiya Ninja Scroll arc, Itachi Shinden arc). Then back to canon with the Kaguya Ootsutsuki Strikes arc from 459 to present. In the past four years (not five) they've only had 128 canon episodes (a little less than two and a half years worth), that's not very impressive. The Dressrosa arc had its entire run with no major filler.

Everything from the beginning of the war to the final fight between Naruto and Sasuke is part of the Ninja War. The fight with the Tailed Beasts, Tobi, Madara, and Kaguya are happening as the war is going on. It is one long continuous storyline that just goes from one villain reveal to the next and then to the next villain reveal. I would even say the summit of the 5 kages is part of the Ninja war arc because so much of that is directly connected with the Ninja war arc and leads into it. The way you are breaking it down then you should cut the Dressrosa arc in half and call the first half the Tournament arc and the second half the Dressrosa arc.

The Great Ninja war was a Saga composed of multiple arcs, the same was in One Piece there is the Baroque Works Saga which encompasses everything from Reverse Mountain to the end of Alabasta. Dressrosa is part of what's being called the Pirate Alliance Sage, which is Punk Hazard to Present

So that means Dressrosa is officially 118 episodes long, lol. Very Happy


118 episodes that is nothing Naruto has been on the Ninja War arc for 243 episodes and over 5 years and they aren't even done yet lol.


But this is the longest arc for One Piece so far.
