| Fujitora also siding with luffy *_* damn man doflamingo is fucked up. |
 |
| Funny how the episode's name is referring to only the last 3 minutes.. And I've always wanted to mention this, but Giganto Mano means Giant Hand so why do they make her summon a pair of legs? |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
No he's not. Luffy calls him Tra-guy, so he's screaming "Tra-ou" not Zoro |
| The action was great really enjoyed wish it was a bit longer anyway flashback time I guess (also not a happy one to boot as well) |
 |
| Chibi Flamingo lol. Great action this episode but it seems like they're in another bind. |

| Doffy's weird finger movements are actually really scary, along with the horrid cracking noises. Send help ;-; He really is the best One Piece villain to date though, and this episode really showcased that. His family started at the top, and headed straight down to the bottom of the garbage chute because of his dad's decision to live as common folk. Living a life of complete extremes is bound to mess even the sanest of people up, and whilst you could say that Doffy was always going to turn into a grade A scumbag, I'm sure his experiences contributed to his radicalism. Just the memories of being humiliated and tortured make him lose his rag...now the whole "don't look down on me" thing makes complete sense- it's not just because he's an egotistical prick, it's also because he's mentally scarred :o It makes sense why he wants to ruin the Celestial Dragons now though, even though he is one himself. It's because they refused to take him back. So he was basically forced into the pirate lifestyle...way different to a majority of the other characters who have big, grandiose dreams of adventure, freedom and finding the One Piece. I honestly can't think of a guy more different than Luffy. Maybe that's why the fight feels so much more emotive and aggressive than any of his other battles so far. It just feels more personal because of the ideology clash. On another note, Fujitora just became more interesting- he's on Luffy's side but he can't really do anything major (aside from make it look like he's trying)...his whole fight with Sabo seemed to be a big show for the Navy. Speaking of Sabo, omigod that boy is moe af sat there zoning out in the middle of the rubble. Then Koala being all mother-like XD He's become quite similar to Ace, but not so much that he feels like a replacement. It just makes me happy :') And yessss, the flashback I've been waiting for since Punk Hazard is finally happening! |

| I was with the theory that Fujitora’s dice was in fact Luffy in the betting he spoke of, but it confused me why he was fighting Sabo if that was truly the case. There he proves to us that the theory was correct and that further, it could only mean one thing. That he fought Sabo, while not giving his all, as a show, to give an excuse for why he couldn’t do more. It definitely struck something in Sabo as he was hardly listening to Koala who was freaking out over his recklessness, nearly igniting a revolutionary-navy war. But, at the same time, this was something he had to do after losing Ace, nothing is too reckless now. Meanwhile, Fujitora met with the people on the plateau after Riku and the guys saved the citizens who had just tied them up, winning them over. There he made the bold and cool declaration that he’s all in on Luffy for this one. I’m somewhat curious on why that is, for him helping Luffy beat Doflamingo only ups the chances and I don’t recognize the downside there outside of an ideological view. The idea that both he and Viola have stated, that the navy is what allowed this to happen to Dressrosa in the first place and they have no right being the “heroes” anymore. But that said, it still feels illogical to me and somewhat confusing. After a nice montage of everyone believing in Luffy and/or fighting for him, we had the remainder of his scene with Doflamingo. Luffy and Doflamingo were trading many blows, for some reason he hasn’t tried to control Luffy or Law once, but ultimately he still came out on top. Trebol was cut in a specific way so he couldn’t reform and as Law went to finish him off, Doflamingo swooped in, saved Trebol, and brutally cut Law down. I honestly cheered when I saw this, it was subconscious, but I do respect how much Doflamingo does care about his family and I was anticipating him saving Trebol so when he did it brought me some joy. From there, he tossed Luffy around and made Bellamy take him down with a blade, something painful for both of them, and certainly the Doflamingo way. The more important thing was what Doflamingo ended up stating. He told Law that the thing he hates most is to be looked down upon and for these shitty kids to even think they could beat him for a second is an unbearable humiliation. Outside of reminding me of Crocodile, he continued and let us see a peak into what led to this moment. When he was in fact a descendant of the Celestial Dragon, he had slaves, he was born into respect and authority, and as we’ve seen the Dragons, they can see themselves being above others as a natural fact, when challenged they can be in literal disbelief, and they can at times not even understand why people hate them. Speaking here of that one in Sabaody being scared when Zoro didn’t bow to him, or the one in Fishman island which was isolated and shocked that, with no reason to help him, people wouldn’t. I can imagine Doflamingo felt this was a truth too. Yet, his father, apparently the only good Celestial Dragon ever, chose not to live that kind of life anymore. He chose to live a normal life, not have that authority, not abuse that power, and the people abused by the Dragon’s saw this as reason to make the family suffer. As a ten year old, Doflamingo went from having inherent respect and authority and power, to being worthless, and being the target of mass abuse. This is interesting because, rather than my first interpretation, that Doflamingo killed his father who was a Dragon and was kicked out of the family or something akin to that, it was actually his father who chose to denounce Dragon life, and a broken Doflamingo who then killed him. To expand on the broken Doflamingo, if I recall, his mother died when he was eight, probably at the hands of their enemies. So, I take it Doflamingo blamed and killed his father, offering his head to Mariejoi’s wanting to be accepted, wanting to escape the life his father forced him in, but he wasn’t allowed back. I can imagine he was in fact alone, with Corazon and him in a world where they were seen as renegades by the Dragons and disgusting monsters to abuse by the people hence why his found family is so important. He felt a deep rage, I presume a sense of spite for the Dragons and he wanted to… destroy everything they dominated, which makes his line about destroying the world a little less cheesy. It may also hint at Law’s life being destroyed by the Dragons as well as Doflamingo deeply related to him. |
| It's nice to see that Fujitora had bet everything on Luffy's victory as well. It's rather unfortunate that Luffy and Law's in big trouble, though. Giving up your god-like lifestyle that came with the clout of being a Celestial Dragon isn't too bad by itself but Doflamingo's dad made a very dumb move by having him and his family settle in a place where everyone absolutely hates the Celestial Dragons even though they're one of the few exceptions who didn't want to act like pompous assholes. |
 |
| Looks like it's gonna go over Doflamingo for a while. |
 |
| The fights animation was so intense and good! |
| There wasn't any way that Doflamingo was going to have a pleasant story to tell, but the sheer horror behind his trauma has surpassed imagination. His motives draw some strong parallels to Lucifer from the Bible. Driven out of heaven by God, he seeks to destroy all of creation in order to spite his father & fellow angels. Forget God Usopp, this looks like Devil Doffy in the making. |
 |
| Doflamingo is literally a menace to society but honestly his dad was a dumb ass what did he think was gonna happen he can’t live a normal life everyone hates the celestial dragons and he kinda had it coming because kid Doflamingo was spoiled af he went from living the highest high life with slaves and shit to living a hard life because everyone hates his existence |
 |
| That fluid animation sequences!! Bruhh Doflamingo past... WTF This is like one of those rich spoiled brat but it was times 100x worse. |
 |
| Finally we are going to get his backstory.... |

| Bro every single Doflamingo bulges his forehead with the veins, it freaks me out. |

| Just as I thought then. Fujitora is betting the defeat of Doflamingo on Luffy now. Question though is why he bothered fighting Sabo as long as he did and why he's stopped on the plateau now. Likely a ruse to allow him to step away from the rest of the marine group for a while after bluffing a draw with Sabo. Seems that Kaola is to Sabo what Nami is to Luffy Guy is logia, yet even Koala's super cheek pull hurt him :P While the cliche stall. This is the only point that makes sense to give the Doflamingo and Law flashback. They started to get a bit of an upperhand, but then Doflamingo stopped holding back and got both Luffy and Law tied up. Doflamingo really is showing himself as a typical Celestial Dragon with the spoilt mindset of believing he deserves everything. However his whole actions until this point don't make sense. He wants to get rid of every Celestial Dragon because they refused to let him back in after killing his father, yet he's been perfectly fine playing the World Government Warlord dog while metaphorically pulling strings to get more pull than a typical Warlord would be allowed. Nothing that we've seen of his operations to this point have suggested any attempt to wipe out the Celestial Dragons. All we've seen is him happily abusing his power to play Tyrant King and cause conflicts across the world. If his true desire is to take out all the Celestial Dragons then he should've just played it safer and worked around Luffy from the start He's been causing repeated headaches for the World Government, so if Doflamingo just pushes him to the places he wants there'd be less focus on him while he plots against Marie Jois. |

| Doflamingo is absolutely insane. Seeing him young was crazyyy. He basically upset they kicked him out and now wants to burn the world down. Which makes sense with his craziness. But I’m surprised he not attacking the world government. He definitely one the strongest if not the strongest person Luffy fought. Idk how him and law going to beat him. As for Fuijitoria his plans makes sense. Have Luffy defeat flamingo so he innocent. Can’t blame the long fight with Sabo as a distraction. Still wish he would have done more to stave the civilians. Either way he a great character. Love him. |
| i love how hard Doffy goes. this arc was brutal to read in manga form but in anime form it's bliss |
