This is a good episode, although I had really high expectations, specially the way Yamato was going to be introduced. Also, The clash between Ulti and Luffy was unnecessarily long and stretched as heck. Despite these flaws I consider it an above average episode, I understand the pacing is a production problem because they don't want to catch up the manga, neither they want to pause the anime because the channel needs profits. But I personally think they should have used filler scenes like previous episode with Big Mom and Chopper. I guess they should have added more fight scenes instead of long stares, camera panning to fodder reactions and elongated scenes across the scenery. All in all, I'm looking forward to seeing these upcoming episodes left for episode 1000.

Slightly underwhelmed

The episode had amazing animation and sountrack in my opinion, but the pacing was dressrosa-bad. 10 minutes of it can be skipped without missing anything. So far 10 chapters have been adapted for 15 epsiodes which is abysmal.
Not at all

Luffy said he won't underestimate Ulti and Page one and in manga speed blitz ulti and page one. But in anime he uses random non haki attack like pistol and he didn't trick Ulti with his hands at all like they showed in anime he was so fast Ulti and page one couldn't react. They made Page one look like idiot when he was searching for luffy on ceiling while the scene was supposed to show luffy being so fast Page one was unable to do anything. Luffy took Ulti's headbutt (Supposed to be her main attack) and wasn't fazed in manga and wanted to end the fight fast by going gear 4 but here they showed him getting knocked by her headbutt while he was in her grip.
Ever since the flashback ended the pacing is atrocious and on top of that they are changing scenes from manga like that zoro one and now this. This episode had 6 min long recap and even then they showed last episode ulti flashback. Who cares about animation when the pacing is this bad and on top of that they are changing scenes from manga.
