Why did the Dressrosa arc take so long?
One Piece’s fans agreed that the Dressrosa arc is too long as the arc’s pace goes very slow.
The slow pace may be because TOEI Animation decided to adapt one manga chapter to one anime episode while not making enough filler or taking breaks between seasons to let the manga go ahead. Thus, the anime and the manga are very close, causing them to add many unnecessary reaction shots or repeated flashbacks to get enough running time for each episode.
