Carson is like a house cat chasing bugs.

I'm someone who very rarely has problems with pacing but the kyros diamante fight had multiple moments where it felt like buildup for the ending strike, but those moments went unused. Splitting the end of the fight in 2 episodes felt like it didn't do their storyline justice. iirc the anime was too close to the manga during dressrosa, forcing them to slow down, but it's such a shame in some moments. I love dressrosa, but imo, it probably has the most potential for improvement if they ever decide to reanimate it.

What are you on about? This fight was so much better in the anime than the manga. Same with Senor Pink's backstory. In the manga it was a few pages, but in the anime they gave it time to breath and is the version people cite when showing outsiders how deep OP can become despite silly facades

Compare Kyros vs Diamante to Zoro vs Kaku in the anime too. 9 sword style Ashura final attack was literally a still frame😂. Every one of Kyros or Diamante's simple sword strikes had more budget. If anything Enies Lobby is the arc that should get re-animated. Be for real

I can see how you got the impression, it may have been unclear from me, but I wasn't comparing anime and manga. I did enjoy the fight and Kyros is one of my favorite characters in the arc. I just think they could have made the buildup and climax of the fight better, if they had cut some parts. I didn't need multiple cutaways to viola and the bunch during the fight for example. It's by no means unbearable or worse than other things. But I would love for it to be improved. My sentiment is heavily influenced by other fights being slow during this section though, I have to admit. The individual fights (Sai vs Lao G/Senor Pink vs Franky) were great, it's just the overall number of different fights and plotlines which made some parts drag on for me

Also, Zoro vs Kaku is a whole different problem I think. Okay sure animation of that final attack was not it, but if they wanted to improve that, they would need to redo some things about Kaku first. The downfall of his character from what he was during W7 to "Haha funny giraffe man with questionable competence" needs to be studied. And yes, Pinks backstory is really good!

Most of the frustrating cutaways in this arc are from filler time, straight up. And Kyros vs Diamante, Zoro vs Pica or Luffy vs Bellamy are perfect excuses from the anime to fill time with just random clashes that 'look cool' but don't do much progression wise. That's why it feels longer than it should. For example this and last episode. It felt like it was building up to a big finale and then Bam! Cliffhanger. Meanwhile in the chapter all the buildup (from the star spikes falling, to Kyros deflecting them and still keeping up after a gunshot or him remembering Scarlet's death and his speech about the anger of Dressrosa) and victory happens in the same chapter which flows much better.

Props to Robin for sacrificing her back. It's one of my favorite subtle reveals, because she doesn't care in the slightest. This doesn't hurt! She's seen worse! She's just so glad she could protect her and let her reunite with her dad. Her smile says everything❤️❤️❤️

And Scarlet gave the finishing blow with her grave🙌🏾 Couldn't be more satisfying Love the emphasis on the other members of her family and their loss. She wasn't just Kyros and Rebecca's family, they too lost a loved one. 💔

Those Star Dust iron clogs can render a hunky man immobile. Robin is tougher than what people give her credits for.

“Gave it time to breathe” that shit has been standing in the same spot hyperventilating. The pacing in this arc is indefensible.

Bugs and pacing, Carson’s two greatest enemies

This would be a hilarious joke if we were talking about Chimera Ant because he loves it

I think Carson's comment on how all the fights still end satisfyingly exemplifies how much pacing takes a toll on a otherwise fantastic arc.

Carson was locking in with observation haki to clap that fly at the end, yet another peak end to a long fight.

I actually ended up really liking Diamante as a villain, for the simplicity of him. He's just a straight evil bastard, and sometimes that's nice to see get beat. Cool design and a cool power that he used pretty well I thought. That Iron Stardust or whatever he called it was devilish and sick, and made for some crazy aura boost to Kyros. Some of the pacing aside I actually think this was my favorite fight of the arc so far.
