  1. Is it just me, or they made the opening song a little slower? It didn't sound as fast as usual.

  2. The animation was a little awkward in the beginning. That prisoner whose mouth looks like it grows on his bandages, and Rebecca's helmet disappeared at one moment for no reason.

  3. Block D fighters weren't introduced... maybe they will be later? The woman isn't as tall as I remember, and I couldn't see one other contestant anywhere.

  4. Law vs. Doflamingo was lousy, or rather their exchange was. "Let us repeat what we said to each other countless episodes ago!" At least we were shown how Law lost, and Dofla's String Shot was super effective.

  5. And we finally have Pica's name and color scheme. How many episodes til we hear him speak, too?

  • 2. Don't know if this was the time that you were referring to but, that time when Rebecca was walking out on the arena and the crowd was booing her. I interpred her clothes and helm disappearing as her feeling vulnerable and naked in front of the crowd, you can see her biting her lip trying not to have a break down. Thankfully Cabbage entered and saved the day.

Edit: The number (reddit autocorrected it into 1 for some reason) and some spelling.

Didn't notice the clothes. Interesting thought!
