User blog comment:Xilinoc/Doing Filler/Padding Right - Episode 743/@comment-24769684-20160529185518

Overall this was a pretty fun and fast-paced episode, and I agree that it does a better job than the manga at displaying where Luffy is at compared to the admirals. I also liked how threatening it displayed Fujitora's power to be-it may not be a devastating Logia, but manipulating the force that dictates how you move has vast potential.

One thing I didn't like about the extension, though, was that Luffy's move announcements sounded incredibly grating after a while. And I was definitely not expecting that acid trip at the end.

Overall, I really like the direction the anime's been going in terms of plot handling and padding - ever since Gamma Knife it's pretty much been getting better. The only real dud since then was Episode 738 which was basically just Sabo and Luffy crying the whole time.
