One Piece by Sam Leach, Mar 21st 2016 How would you rate episode 733 of One Piece ? Community score The fated day has finally come, as the final episode of Luffy vs. Doflamingo has arrived. “Final Blow” episodes the series have always been some of my most treasured One Piece moments. The Crocodile, Eneru and Lucci finales all come to mind as examples of the show at its best. With the Dressrosa arc being so long and Doflamingo being by far the biggest major villain in the series, personality-wise, expectations are astronomical. After a string of episodes with bottom-of-the-barrel production values in a row these past few weeks, I was disappointed that the the finale wasn't much better. In fact, the animation quality and pacing are both suspiciously poor for such an important episode, especially since I was sure they were “saving up” just for this week. A lot of time is killed on a scene in which Doflamingo has Luffy tied up in his strings and Luffy has to use his strength to resist been puppeteer-ed. It's an incredibly long scene with a lot of dead air as we wait for Luffy to return to his Fourth Gear form. When Luffy does finally pump air back into his body in order to perform Fourth Gear, we're treated to bold-faced repeated animation from the initial transformation episode, just with the backgrounds swapped out. This makes me wonder if Fourth Gear is going to get the Sailor Moon transformation treatment from this point forward. It's hard to blame Toei, since the animation on the transformation is very cool and I have been updated that the sakuga animator responsible is Naotoshi Shida, the man in charge of modern One Piece's flashier animation, but it's such an obvious cut corner in an episode that could do with a few less. Regardless, whatever moaning I want to do over this episode can easily be put aside for the final two minutes or so. It's at this point that a switch is flipped and it becomes the episode that I hoped it could have been from the beginning. Luffy unleashes his “King Kong Gun” his regular Kong Gun punch but with a bigger fist, as you do against Doflamingo's spiderweb of strings. It's a dramatic clash with pushing and pulling as Strong World music blares and all the side characters pushing against the birdcage shout in unison about how they believe in Luffy. Even my cynical heart was moved by this scene as the drama and emotion took center stage over the production values. Then there's the detail of Doflamingo's sunglasses. Doffy's eyes have been such an discussed about topic among the fans, any detail that draws attention to just how mysterious his face is ends up being surprisingly exciting. There are times where we wonder whether the series has any attention on showing the villain sans-shades, but during the final blow we do see them break. It's stylized in a way where we still don't see any eyes, but just seeing them break is immensely satisfying. It's weird to say that this episode is worth only its final two minutes but it's true. Sometimes I wonder if One Piece could pull off telling it's story in short-form episodes each week, since it clearly has no intention of moving faster than the manga. If you're a fan of the anime, you won't be missing much if you only skip around, and if you're mostly reading the manga it might be worth tuning in just for the last few minutes anyway.

"Attack on a Celestial - Luffy's King Kong Gun of Anger" is the 733rd episode of the One Piece anime. Short Summary[] As their battle resumes, Doflamingo relentlessly attacks Luffy with string and takes control of him. However, Luffy breaks free by activating Gear 4 and flies into the air, where he makes his fist even larger. He then breaks through Doflamingo's defenses and sends the Shichibukai flying through the ground. Long Summary[] The people on Dressrosa cheer Luffy on as he returns to battle Doflamingo, and Gatz tells him to knock the Shichibukai out in one blow. Doflamingo commends Luffy's entrance but knows that he just got his Haki back and is likely at his limits. Luffy replies that Doflamingo is also near defeat, and Doflamingo hits Luffy with his string pillars, sending him crashing to the ground. Rebecca turns toward him, only for Doflamingo to attack her next. However, Law switches Rebecca out with a rock, taking her to his location as Doflamingo destroys the rock. Doflamingo notices Law and tells him to watch as his hope gets crushed. Doflamingo turns the ground Luffy is lying on into string, bouncing him around before binding his body with string. Doflamingo then summons many blades of string and sends them all at Luffy, who struggles to block them with Busoshoku Haki. However, one of the blades succeeds in impaling Luffy, and Doflamingo asks him if he really regained his Haki as he sends Luffy flying into a rock face before hitting him with all his string blades. Gatz and the citizens are stunned by the battle, wondering what happened. However, the Birdcage remains up, and the gladiators, pirates, and Marines continue pushing it with the hope that Luffy would hurry and defeat Doflamingo. Meanwhile, Luffy lies down inside a cave created by the impact, and cannot get up. Suddenly, Doflamingo attaches strings to him and forces him to stand up and walk toward him. As Doflamingo controls Luffy like a puppet, Luffy remembers sitting at a campfire with Silvers Rayleigh during his training. He had lost to his opponent and barely escaped death, and Rayleigh asked him what happened to his Kong Gun. Luffy replied that this opponent was too big for the Kong Gun to work on, and Rayleigh told him that he needed to come up with something else. As he walks toward Doflamingo, Luffy realizes that the Shichibukai was also too powerful for the Kong Gun. Doflamingo tells Luffy that they should have all just stayed in his cage and submitted to his manipulation, saying that humans should only live when a divine being like him manipulates them. He says that he would not have had to carry out this massacre if they had not cut their puppet strings, but Luffy has had enough with his talk. The Birdcage cuts farther into the King's Plateau and continues cutting through buildings, and Luffy's allies tell him to hurry up. Leo grows worried about what will happen if the Birdcage keeps advancing, but Robin tells him to trust in Luffy. Meanwhile, Luffy raises up his arm and blows into it, reactivating Gear 4 and breaking Doflamingo's control on him. Although shocked that Luffy broke his strings, Doflamingo wonders how long Luffy can maintain Gear 4 in this state. Luffy then takes to the air, which amuses Doflamingo as he and his strings rise up and follow him. Doflamingo catches up to Luffy, expressing annoyance that the pirate was above him and promising to drag him down and control him like a puppet again. Luffy replies that he felt like he was suffocating due to Doflamingo manipulating everyone, and the Shichibukai says that the people here were born as trash and are meant to be manipulated. Luffy tells him to be quiet as he retracts his forearm, and Doflamingo creates a web to protect himself. Luffy then blows air into his other arm, making the retracted arm even bigger, as he remembers sharing his idea for an improved Kong Gun with Rayleigh. Doflamingo is surprised by this as he sends 16 bullets of string at Luffy, who unleashes his new attack, the King Kong Punch, downward. The clash between Luffy and the strings is powerful enough to cause ripples in the water and be felt by the citizens below, and everyone on Dressrosa cheers Luffy on as he breaks through Doflamingo's attack and defense before hitting Doflamingo himself. The force of the punch sends Doflamingo flying into the ground, with the impact tearing apart the city, and Doflamingo falls down into the underground harbor. Law remembers Corazon telling him about how the Family of D. is the sworn enemy of the gods as Doflamingo's shattered glasses fall away and Luffy hovers in the air victorious. Characters in Order of Appearance[] Monkey D. Luffy Gatz Bartolomeo Nico Robin Usopp Hack Roronoa Zoro Issho Franky Inhel Flapper Wicca Cotton Bobomba Trafalgar D. Water Law Viola Rebecca Donquixote Doflamingo Jeet Abdullah Sai Elizabello II Chinjao Silvers Rayleigh flashback Kanjuro Kin'emon Leo Bellamy flashback Riku Doldo III Donquixote Rosinante flashback Anime Notes[] The anime adds the following Gatz telling Luffy to defeat Doflamingo. Gatz's worried reaction as Doflamingo attacks Luffy. In the flashback with Rayleigh, the anime shows what animal Luffy was fighting. As Luffy activates Gear 4 again, Doflamingo says that he will just use him to kill the citizens and his friends. The following is extended Doflamingo's assault on Luffy. Luffy's conversation with Rayleigh while training on Rusukaina. The clash between Luffy and Doflamingo's final attacks. Doflamingo's attack was instantly crushed by Luffy's, while in the anime there was a long struggle. Doflamingo kept attacking with God Thread, but Luffy's giant punch after the momentum of the latter was strong enough to beat Doflamingo and his technique. When Luffy activates Gear 4, he does it as he did the first time recycling the scene from Episode 726. In the manga, he transforms almost immediately, skipping the process. When Doflamingo's sunglasses are shown clattering against the ground and shattering, the lenses are momentarily depicted as intact; however, they had already started breaking apart after Doflamingo was struck by Luffy's final attack.
