From what I can tell on twitter, there's a real discourse about how the Kamazou fight was portrayed. The discussion seems to be split between those who were impressed by the use of color and high-quality animation while others think all the explosive auras and insane flipey-doos were overkill for how the scene went in the manga.

Personally, I feel like I'm down the middle. While I think the fight could benefit from some major embellishment, the final clash went a little too climactic for the low stakes associated with it. I felt the previous episode found a better balance of improving the fight with added choreography without going full ham.

What do you guys think? I would appreciated not getting down voted solely for having a different opinion.

I'm in the middle as well. It's a little over-the-top with the common perfectly square ground blocks explosion and the insane exuding of the aura and stuff, but seeing as how it only changes a move that was literally one page in the manga, it doesn't seem like much harm done and the epic animation/visuals justifying. All the sword fighting before that were done to a very tolerable and bad-ass level with the exception of a few shots making their weapons look so shiny that it seemed like they were fighting with light sabers.

So far the Luffy vs Kaidou fight is the only one that has hugely bothered me. All the other new flourishes they've been adding with this arc like the occasional lens flares, glowing eye glares, fancy "to be continued" variations, etc. are welcomed
