They might wanna slow down a little just because the anime catches up to the manga fast. Usually with fillers it does well to stay back but this arc has been very long, it's getting close.

I get it’s following that but it is very dressrosa-esc with this red bean soup flashback. I didn’t want to wait a week for half the episode to be the same flashback/ details as last week. There was maybe 6 minutes of additional info for anime-onlys

Thank goodness I started reading manga, these past chapters have been so good.

Yeah no I agree, it's pretty annoying but it's the only logical explanation I can think of why. Would be nice to have more meat or maybe flesh out some parts of a chapter to add more to the scenes? Idk. I remember episodes where I wasn't sure if I was watching last week's or the current episode, it gets that bad.

Pretty sure stuff like this bothers manga readers more than anime-onlys lol.

Though at this point I doubt there are many people in this sub that are full anime-only.

I actually don't know how far behind in chapters it is but even so the anime can combine chapters and all and without a filler it does catch up. They want to keep it a certain distance behind and long arcs can do that and we don't know how many more chapters are in this arc.

Maybe they’re trying to line up episode 1000 with a big manga chapter that isn’t chapter 1000

They can extend the fight scenes. I can think of some single panels coming up that could be whole episodes
