User blog comment:12th Supernova/Chapter 789: The Final Countdown/@comment-24850639-20150604130226

I was pretty surprised by Viola trying to step up to Doflamingo, but now I understand it was just to try to buy some time for everyone else. I mean shit, he sent those threads through Gatz in a matter of seconds, my jaw dropped for a minute. If Rebecca hadn't been threre, Viola probably would have REALLY got rekt.......like dead rekt.So even though it was an annoying sob story, those 2 did serve their purpose in that instance.

But yeah, didn't really like the chapter, but I figured it was going to just be setup anyway so I wasn't expecting much. Oda always raises his troll level up over 9000 when a big moment is coming the next chapter, so I doubt anyone's surprised by the break. What really upsets me about manga/anime in general is perception of time.

787 - 6 minutes elapsed

788 - More than 3 minutes, but less than 4 minutes

789 - 10 SECONDS

The fuck bruh. I understand its purpose of making everything more exciting, but its still annoying. I can only take so many panels of *Salt N Pepa voice* AHHHH, PUSH IT!! Good god this is gonna be such a nightmare to watch in the anime. Which is interesting, because the anime actually seems to be progressing rather rapidly. Usopp's prob gonna awake Kenbunshoku within the next 1-2 episodes, which means Doffy/Trebol/Bellamy vs. Law/Luffy is about to begin. I see them SERIOUSLY stalling on this portion of it.
