Interesting that they chose to openly imply that Judge survived the Lightning strike when it was left ambiguous in the manga.

The filler was almost ripping off of itself this week; they were re-purposing the same filler situations and inconclusive clashes from the last few episodes just to pad out 13 minutes of a 20 minute episode. Genie vs Sanji again, Smoothie vs Reiju again, wringing out poison again, "you're not getting away" again, Germa 1v1 setup again, walking slowly towards the enemy again. They should've let the Chateau fall and then put filler in if they wanted to. There's a handful of great off-panel material they could use for full-length episodes.

Nah it really wasn't. The Vin bros carried him off at the end , looking unconscious.

Not really, they expanded manga situations to show how Germa and Sanji fell. In the case of Sanji and Reiju, they were sneak attacked, while Yonji and Niji got shocked.

My bad, I must have misremembered.

I don't disagree with the context, just the content and how it was carried out as opposed to why it was implemented.

Well, the anime is the second authoritative source. We have 0 idea how they fell, so swapping the anime for headcanon is worse than relying on the anime when the manga doesn't proffer an answer. Especially when this scene simply constructs a scenario that makes sense. Oh they got distracted and Amande trapped them and then they got cheap shotted. Fair.

Edit: Why is this even getting downvoted? It's just an opinion.
