I was actually shocked when Magellan just walked past Blackbeard and dropped that Hydra. He basically one shotted an entire Warlord crew and kept walking like it was nothing
hitotsume_kozo_31
My head is spinning after that ending, because I really didn't see Blackbeard showing up right now and seeing him at the place he sent Ace feels like a total slap in the face after Shiryu turned on the guards so fast, and it really feels like the entire world is shifting after he just waltzed into the front gate
sharp_279
Everything is going to hell in this prison and Blackbeard walking through the main doors just makes the whole situation feel way more dangerous
vexen_457
Magellan is going to regret letting Shiryu out of his cell since he immediately started cutting down his own men without even hesitating
moryo_mystic_97
Crocodile and Jinbe working together with Luffy is such a weird team but they are actually getting things done while the prison falls apart
ram_rage_145
Buggy and Mr 3 are somehow failing their way into leading a whole army of prisoners and it makes the entire jailbreak feel like a circus
zygarde_312
Shiryu is terrifying because he has that calm killer energy and he just cut down his own people without even blinking or showing a single bit of remorse for it
eri_359
Magellan really is a monster for taking down Blackbeard's entire crew with a single attack, and it makes you realize how dangerous the warden actually is when he stops holding back
kiraxxz
Impel Down is a total mess now with Blackbeard and Shiryu running around and the warden is the only thing keeping the whole place from falling apart in two seconds
twili_287
Those prisoners starting to worship Buggy like he is some legendary savior is the funniest thing ever especially since he is basically just failing his way to the top of a riot
kuroneko_42
Blackbeard is such a wild card for breaking into Impel Down for no apparent reason and his fight with Magellan was way shorter than anyone could have guessed
erica_brown
Watching Buggy accidentally lead an army of dangerous criminals while he is secretly terrified is the best part of these episodes and his luck is honestly his greatest superpower
toshiro_tempest_105
This prison break is starting to feel a bit long but at least having Blackbeard show up at the gates finally moves things along and adds some real stakes to the mess
microwaved_dave
Shiryu just casually slaughtering his own guards the second he got out of his cell was brutal and him crossing paths with Teach is going to be a nightmare for Magellan
simkray
Blackbeard showing up in the middle of this prison break is absolutely insane and he just strolled right through the front door like he owned the place only to get wrecked by Magellan's poison almost immediately
kanarazu_kami_72
I seriously can't believe Magellan thought letting Shiryu out was a good idea after everything he did to the prisoners, especially since he just turned on the jailers immediately which was actually terrifying to see, and now he is just waiting for Blackbeard to show up and this prison is basically falling apart at the seams and I love how messy everything is getting
almighty_yhwach
I was stunned when Magellan's poison dragon just swallowed the Blackbeard pirates whole, because I really thought Teach was going to be unstoppable after what he did to Ace
johnny_joestar_198
Crocodile and Luffy having to be on the same team is so awkward to watch, but watching them use their powers together makes the escape feel actually possible for once
cobble_290
I honestly thought Blackbeard was going to be the final boss of this arc but seeing Magellan just wash his whole squad with that Hydra was such a reality check for everyone and it makes the prison feel so much more threatening now that the strongest intruders are coughing up purple slime on the floor while Luffy is still trying to get to Ace
schierke_the_witch_193
I still can't get over Shiryu just slaughtering those guards the second they let him out of his cell and he clearly does not care about his job or the law anymore
EPISODE CONTEXT
Positioned deep within the Impel Down arc, Episode 444 follows the alliance-building and desperate maneuvering of Episode 443, now throwing a massive wrench into the escape plan with Blackbeard's arrival. This episode serves as a critical pivot point where the arc shifts from a prison break narrative into something far more chaotic and consequential. It directly sets the stage for the final, explosive confrontations within Impel Down and the transition toward the Marineford War arc that follows.
