EP. REVIEW: One Piece

At the very least, having it as two separate episodes allows us to distinguish in our ratings between a largely pointless episode and a great one, rather than having to split the difference. It would have better not to have the former, but what's done is done.

Yeah, 807 was pretty much a waste of 20 minutes. What followed, though...well, it seems like it only happens every hundred episodes at this point, but once in a long while, Toei reminds me what they're capable of if they actually bother to try. That whole fight was note-perfect, and flashing all the way back to the very first ending song was an inspired touch.

I feel so lost right now. The show and the episode reviewer are apparently saying that Big Mom and Germa 66 are strong but I don't see it AT ALL. I'm still waiting for the threat, and wondering about some small things in the arc that are starting to look like plot holes.

I have seen no one in Germa who have haki and Sanji would've easily beat his father in that fight if he hadn't gotten sickened by how dirty his father fights. I'm assuming his father is about the same strength as his brothers if not more powerful maybe.

Big Mom, while having a few haki users, seems to have amassed her power through conquering weak islands and ruling through high level spying abilities. Physically her crew seem weak other than her top 3 or 4 people,

as shown when whats-his-face egg man gets beat in a sword fight with a mediocre at best sword fighter.

Also Sanji's handcuffs should be able to be removed the same way the explosive collars were removed on Saboady Archipelago. Silvers showed that with haki you can take stuff like that off, and even if Sanji is not skilled enough to take them off, coating the skin under the cuffs in strong haki should be able to withstand an explosion form a device that small.

Luffy hasn't tried to break out using Gear 4th...why? It might not work but...he SEEMED desperate. But not THAT desperate? REALLY?

Considering how girl enemies are handled in this series I don't have high hopes for the conclusion to Pudding's plans, especially when Sanji is involved.

Slow episode for slow series.

The past couple of episodes have looked better than some Winter 2018 anime airing right now.
Even with the padding, I'm still finding it mostly enjoyable because it's nice to look at and It's fun seeing how the plot threads of the Chateau segment unfold in an animated, colored medium.

at least their going through with the canon arc and not rerouting to a filler arc which some of its other long running shounen jump counterparts tend to do very often. it would really sour the mood if the do that at this point.
