EPISODE REVIEWS

This episode was tough to rate for me. Did we make progress? No, not really. Was the animation pleasant to look at? No, definitely not. On the other hand, I can at least see the final stage starting to develop, with some of the fights getting started. Usually, when the animation deteriorates, that means they're using resources on something upcoming. This episode wasn't very good to me, but we're just moving through the story at this point. However, I found it super funny that Sugar is scared of long noses now LOL (though I also found it annoying that we have to fight Sugar again). This felt like one of the rougher episodes of the arc. Thoughts? Am I too critical? C&A

usopp looking absolutely terrified of sugar coming back caught my attention because it reminds me how dangerous her power actually is to the whole crew

Everything felt slow until Sugar woke up, and now the threat of her turning Luffy into a toy is terrifying

Usopp's absolute breakdown as Sugar slowly stirred had me simultaneously cracking up and bracing for impact. It's wild how his total panic was the only thing keeping the tension sky-high, considering Luffy and Law were still cluelessly strolling into trouble. I just knew this was gonna be a classic, chaotic One Piece moment, and I couldn't look away from my screen.

Seriously, I'm getting so antsy with these endless nutcracker dolls; it feels like we've been running around this level of the palace forever. That's why when Sugar finally woke up, my stomach actually flipped, knowing Luffy's completely out of it and only Usopp truly sees the mess they're in. This whole situation just makes me want Usopp to pull through and save the day even more.

The animation is all over the place this week, and the artists definitely spent more time on the fanservice than making the nutcracker dolls look decent

i am just waiting for rebecca to finally get that key to law because seeing him get carried around while he is completely useless is starting to get old

robin standing her ground against gladius shows she is not playing around this time and barto helping her out is a great team up

the tontatta tribe feels like filler and they just clutter the screen whenever the action should be focusing on the actual straw hat fights

these giant dolls are taking up way too much time and the story is barely moving and they make the whole dressrosa arc feel like a crawl

EPISODE CONTEXT

This episode follows the rescue-focused events of Episode 693 involving Princess Mansherry and pivots squarely into escalating combat as the crew advances through the Royal Palace. It serves as a critical bridge in the Dressrosa arc, establishing the Headcracker Dolls as a major tactical obstacle while positioning the Straw Hats for the larger confrontations still ahead. The alliances and momentum built here feed directly into the arc's climactic push toward Doflamingo.
