(Kuma ni Okita Ihen - Iwa-san Ikari no Ichigeki)"Kuma's Transformation! Ivan-san's Blow of Anger!"

If anything, I'd call these two episodes "The Love Fantasies of Hancock"

! VS (Gekisen no Renzoku! Nryokusha Gundan VS Nryokusha Gundan)"Hard Battles, One After Another! Devil Fruit Eaters vs. Devil Fruit Eaters!"

So I start up OP 468, skip past the intro, and then the recap. Imagine my face when I noticed the recap was less than a minute long compared to last week's almost 6 minutes.

VS (Shindemo Tasukeru - Rufi VS Kaigun Batoru Sutto)"Even If It Means Death! Luffy vs. the Navy; The Battle Starts!"

After telling Whitebeard of the new execution schedule, Luffy promptly rushes into the battlefield to save Ace.

(Mugiwara Chmu Tchaku - Funky o Tsugeru Senj)"Straw Hat Team Arrives! Tension Grows at the Battlefield"

Continuing right where they left off last time, Luffy and co. have finally joined the battle at Marineford.

! (Shsha dake ga Seigi - Hatsud! Sengoku no Sakusen)"Justice For the Winners! Sengoku's Strategy in Action!"

With Oars down, the war makes one more step towards chaos as Whitebeard steadily raises his power levels.

! Jr. (Majin no Shison! Ritoru zu Junia Bakushin!)"A Descendant of the Beast! Little Oars Jr. - Full Speed Ahead!"

Oars Jr. is such a badass. Though it started out rather slow, the pacing quickly picked up as some notable characters finally started joining in the fight.

!! ! (Subete o Yakitsukusu!! Taish Akainu no Chikara!)"An All-Consuming Inferno!! Admiral Akainu's Power!"

If anything, the only thing that's questionable about Akainu is his oddly realistic face.

! (Sekai o Horobosu Chikara! Gura Gura no Mi no Nryoku)"The Force That Could Destroy the World! The Power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit!"

Wait hold on, okay. Not yet? No? How about now..? Still? What? NOW? OKAY! BEGIN TSUNA- wait, why does it look like crap?

! (Kessen no Makuake! su to Shirohige no Kako)"The Beginning of the War! Ace and Whitebeard's Past!"

With the war pretty much completely about him, much akin to Helen of Troy, what better time to finally learn about Ace's past?

! (Kyodai Kantai Arawaru - Shrai! Shirohige Kaizoku-dan)"A Vast Fleet Appears! Here Come the Whitebeard Pirates!"

IF HE'S THE SON OF THE PIRATE KING, HE MUST BE EVIL! Ah, sheep of society, how little do you know. After last week's "epic" reveal, the world is in total shock.
