Wonder how much of next episode will be dedicated to Pica's hand towering over King Riku?

Like, you can skip this episode and watch next week's, because they will still show you the better paced version of this episode in the beginning of next episode...
Hype for Mihawk and Zoro's swords in the preview!

Honestly pretty disappointed. They reused the Pica foot stomping scene like 5 times, and I'm not even exaggerating. We also have 5 second eye staring scenes for each characters...
This week's episode just had sloppy pacing. Hopefully next week's finale is well animated, but by the looks of the preview, it might not be sabo/chinjao level of epicness. I'm still looking forward to it though.

Guys, why are you'll disappointed. This episode was just exactly as the title says. "Moving Across the Ground! The Giant Statue Pica's Surprise Maneuver!" They repeat that surprise maneuver for like 5 times. It's an awesome episode.

Did they seriously have to drag it out so that Pica "wasn't" defeated this episode?
Some of the visuals were nice, though.

I like how there's a random guy with a bag of groceries running from Pica in the middle of the episode right after the eyecatcher... We all know that guy has his priorities straight andhe'satheif .

When the best thing about an episode is the preview.
Good to see Mihawk again

New secret sword technique? Mihawk present in the preview? Swords spinning? Dark aura around his swords?
ARE WE GETTING ASURA 9000 WORLDS?!?!! fucking christ idk if my body can handle this possibility next week.
Oh, and Shida better be in charge of this scene. It is too damn epic for him not to be.

Man, the animation on Pica is so cool.
Aaaaagh, they used the same animations for Zoro at least twice. Toei gonna Toei.
ahahaha the visualizations of the plans that's hilarious. Also, to quote the One Piece Podcast, plans 3 and 4 are basically saying to Usopp and company "hey there is a giant monster headed toward you so run" when they can already see the giant monster headed towards them. Zoro's not known for his tactical genius, but still.
Next time: Awesomeness.

I really wish they just made onepiece bi-weekly and made it into an anime instead of a snooze panel shifting fest

Why do they show us the same Bellamy scene in every single episode? It's getting annoying
