Kaido (カイドウ, Kaidō), also known as "Kaido, The King of the Beasts" (百獣の王 カイドウ, Hyakujū no Ō Kaidō), is a fictional character and one of the antagonists of the One Piece series. Water 7 (9) - I loved the water 7/enies lobby saga for the drama, but most of it happened in the Water 7 arc, Luffy vs Usopp remains one of the most heart wrenching moment in the series. Drum (8): love Choppers backstory with dr. Hiluluk, wapol was a boring villain but had a very interesting power. Even with Luffy's CoO that easily sensed Caribou in Thousand Sunny, he was never aware that Pedro was above him in the treetop the whole time. But it's not without its drawbacks, imo. If you want discussion, please sort the subreddit by New. Nami's illness is a bit forced, though. It is stuck in a prehistoric time and teeming with huge dinosaurs and massive plant life. Luffy in a cage is cool though, but not enough. Alabasta 5. Too much is being glossed over. The fights are too dragged out though (especially Franky's), birdcage takes forever to end, and Gear 4th was kinda lame (it's just a beefed-up Gear 2nd). 0 comments. Sogeking. The idea of dials / tangible cloud is all new to me so it was really fun getting to learn something totally foreign, felt like an adventure, learning the unknown. Shabaody (8) - supernova, crew separation, Rayleigh, need I say more? There's a lot of neat stuff here, the Supernova, Rayleigh, Kizaru, Durval. However, the true perpetrator of the war, Mr. 0 and the remaining … Regardless, here's my rating for each arc following your format: Romance Dawn (6) - Contrary to the popular belief, I enjoyed One Piece from the very first episode. Press J to jump to the feed. During the twenty-eigth arc in the series following the defeat of Doflamingo the Straw Hat Crew moves on to Zou for a reunion with Sanji, but nothing ever goes as planned in One Piece. Mihawk's appearance and Nami leaving put a very dynamic pace to the bigger picture, and Zoro's defeat was wonderfully unexpected. He never really seemed threatening, Gin's fight was much more impactful. However, reading the Dessrossa arc week-to-week was boring because nothing happened from one chapter to the next. Drum Island (5) - Chopper is a great character, with a very interesting backstory, ad Wapol makes for a wonderful villain you love to hate. Zou (8) - a surprisingly good arc, mostly because it doesn't shoot in all directions and is just concise enough. Loguetown (10) - Smoker, Dragon, Buggy's reappearance, the introduction of the famous swords, Luffy's first bounty. Reverse Mountain (2) - a very dull start for such a build-up. Member. Don't need to explain yourself like I did, though it'd be cool if you did so. It's basically a haki war in a manga that has thus far prided itself in creative battles. Fishman Island (8) - I love this arc. also it was the first time in all the mangas I have ever read that I enjoyed a flashback. There was build up and hype with Jack and he had a lot of focus in the Zou arc, and during Act 3 of Wano he fought against the Sulong Minks. There was no reason to put Cesar's lab in a fire/ice island, these two themes never quite complement each other, and at times stand eerly at odds. save. Though I have to say, Jack never gave seemed to justify his notoriety to me, and the Wanda red-herring was almost offensive, but it wasn't enough to take the shine away. Post-Enies Lobby (4) - Garp's appearance and his unprecedented info dump are all great, as is seeing Coby and Helmeppo again, but the pace is thrown in the mud with the whole Franky ordeal, and then Usopp coming back... too much drama after such a bombastic arc. Seeing familiar faces (Bon Clay, Buggy, Crocodile, etc.) The foot-on-a-barrel ending is as classic One Piece as possible, and really sets a good mood for the coming Grand Line. But it all feels a bit rushed and crude around the edges, and another Kuma attack so close to the last one diminished a lot the impact. The fights are boring, and I found the dog story pretty distracting. I wish we would've gotten better characterization for the executives though, Doffy deserves better. Arcs like Zou are fantastic. Long Ring and Davy Back Fight - 6 - off pace, but Davy Back Fight is pretty much a filler. He is the captain of the Beasts Pirates and one of the Four Emperors in the New World. Too many "shocking" moments that didn't really pay off (like the Pacifistas), and Squadro's betrayal is frankly pretty stupid. Magellan also makes for a great and imposing opponent, though the appearance of Blackbeard is somewhat distracting. Return and Fishman Island - 7 - a solid prologue in the New World. I can see why fandom hate King though he is barely present in this arc but i hope oda builts personality around him .

What do you guys think about each? Sanji is cool, the idea of having a floating restaurant is cool, and the appearance of Mihawk is the icing on the cake. He has long, curly, gray hair, and constantly has a pallid look about him acting as though he is on the verge of death. It’s one of the most important arcs post timeskip, introduces important characters, sets up the next 2 arcs, and a big info dump of stuff you need to know. It's very free-spirited and uplifting. Alabasta (8) - Ace's appearance is probably the best start of an arc ever, as it's not only cool, but deepens Luffy's story and our understanding of the pirate world. If fights are what you're interested in, of course it will be boring. The names are cliche, the plot is boring, the art is weird, yet people have the gull to say it's better then naruto? View Entire Discussion (0 Comments) Also love how it syncs so well with the next arc. The Whole Cake Island Arc (ホールケーキアイランド編, Hōru Kēki Airando Hen? The pacing is meh in the anime but underwater island is cool, the overarching theme is handled really well, the contrast between Hody and Arlong is great. One piece is complete garbage to me. I'm a bit miffed with the strawhat being Roger's, but meh, whatever. "People don't fear God, fear itself is God". Dressrosa (8) - The upsides overshadow the downsides.

Thriller Bark (6) - the idea of the island is great, and Moria being a big buffoon was a right call for such a light and comedic arc. Comments: 1 Kudos: 14 Bookmarks: 4 Hits: 476.
