What just happened?
I'd like to think of it has "You've been Odaed". Think of it as a sort of opposite of Bleach where they start a fight then go on a 20 episodes filler.
Thank god for Sabo, eh guys?

I don't know who that is!
Who is Dadan?
Who are all these people I never heard of!!
Since when do people die in One Piece?!!?
Haha, i remember a certain someone underestimating Oda-sensei just a couple of months ago saying there wasw no way this would happen
FYI, the war isn't over yet. I wonder what other surprises await us...
Aww come on, really, after all that Ace still dies... man it sucks to be Luffy now.

This is how you can tell there's too many manga readers on this forum. Too many people going "Yeah! Didn't see that coming did you! In your face!"(people who likely didn't see it coming themselves when they were reading the manga) and not enough people reacting to the episode itself.
I won't disagree with you, though that should just strengthen our point that the manga is that much better
And for the record, i didn't see it coming either but i never doubted Oda's ability to blow my mind. I am beneath him and i accept it. Fanboy mode, engage.
There are several moments when the anime is fairly superior though imo.

Most of the fun of even visiting the anime forum is because of the people who don't read the manga. It's like showing a friend older episodes of your favorite series.
I did expect Ace to die back when his execution was first announced. Too much foreboding foreshadowing for it not to happen. However, I did not think Oda would go so far as to free Ace before killing him off.

How come Ace's logia was that weak? Other logia users can be blown to little pieces and all it does is slow them down a bit.
Well, of course the truth might actually be what I said before: It's not like he was destined to die here but rather he wanted to die here and thus didn't use his logia to regenerate his body like all the other logia users continuously do.
I kinda saw it coming, but didn't want to believe it.. even after seeing this eps title, I still wouldn't accept it. I really expected Luffy to go SSJ2 at the end.. but I guess it's Whitebeard's moment to beat the shit out of Akainu.
Go Newgate!! Go out with a bang!
