Episode 490

"Powerful Independent Rivals! The Beginning of the "New Era"!" is the 490th episode of One Piece.

Anime and Manga Differences

 * The anime shows how more Impel Down level 6 prisoners (other than the four Blackbeard took) are running loose even if Blackbeard ordered them to kill each other. Some of the prisoners who were supposed to be dead regained consciousness and walked out.
 * Foodvalten's attack was not shown properly, as the flag over the town was burst instead of slashed. Also, Brownbeard was not properly introduced like in the manga.
 * The Heart Pirates' submarine was seen going through underwater a volcanic region, causing the crew to complain the heat.

Trivia

 * This is the first episode since the start of the Marineford Arc to incorporate more than one manga chapter.
