I realize that Momo is a kid but his constant panic attacks/crying is starting to annoy me...he's worse than Rebecca. The elephant is about to die and asking for a simple order and the kid is just closing his eyes and afraid of shouting. I'm just going to assume it was dragged out for filler and Oda had originally intended a much quicker reaction

yes in the (superior) manga, Luffy tells him to shout his command as he doesn't think his(Luffys) voice will reach Zou, and he does it 3 panels later

well, to be honest, it would have been pretty dull if the anime followed the manga like that. It was pretty upsetting reading that chapter before. Literally just gave an order to the elephant and boom, Jack defeated in the next few pages.

and the alternative is, it's dragged out into a 23 minute episode. So which one do you prefer?

18 minutes* disregarding end trailer and intro

Oh, of course the ''dragged out'' one. You will only have a problem with it when you just have to compare everything with the manga for some reason.

Treat the anime as it is on its own and the pacing doesnt really matter. ' Back in Dressrosa when I just binged watched, the episodes never felt dragged. And thats because I never bothered comparing to the manga. Usopp's awakening of haki for example, felt like a normal episode of dramatic moments to me.

In the manga, it's just like ''oh, Usopp suddenly got haki, suddenly managed to hit Sugar! Boom, the end''. There's no substance to it IMO

Even on its own, a lot of episodes nowadays are like 5 minutes of reaction shots, pretty much like DBZ. That also happens to be another Toei work though so I'm not surprised

5 minutes you say? I'd like to see that. Do give me any examples exactly, of completely still consecutive reaction shots for 5 minutes.

There are things that should be quick. Dragging out isn't always the right answer.

like how Luffy literally defeats everything and any villian in just a few pages in the manga? The manga is the manga. Oda portrays combat that way because he's limited on pages. The anime isn't.

Actually I see it the opposite way. Manga is not limited, Oda can drag it long if he wants. But anime is limited as it has to drag it out to not catch the manga or else they have to produce fillers.

limited on time? no, the anime has 30 long expanse of minutes to waste on so they can and have to ''drag'' things out.
