razor007 said: Corazon...Corazon...Corazon These are the one piece flash backs!!! all of them are sad and i really loved them. after robin and brook stories, now the law story went to end. this is the most favorite one piece flash backs in my opinion. i love the luffy/sabo/ace ones more but these are amazing xd PrimeX said: Damn Doffy's so cruel... I like it! But I'll like it even more when I see his mangled face after Luffy beats the shit out of him. He probably won't die though because Oda's lenient and all that. i dont think he is? whitebeard xd ace? |
| When Law saw corazon's body from the chest and started crying and we saw a flashback of Cora saying 'I Love you'. Right in the feels |
 |
| Rip hero of one piece , sadly getting killed by one of your own family members . |
 |
| DEM FEELS!!! Absolutely loved this flashback :) |
 |
| Another good episode.. They had more bad luck than good. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| The episode was awesome! Haven't cried in a long time for a character that i knew was going to die. While reading the manga i knew he was gonna die and i still cried. Anime just made the chapter waaaaaaaaaaaay better IMO! Just hope they animate blah blah blah nicely as well. Lol |
| Thinking..... |
| Corazon!! RIP :{ One Piece drying up all my feels again.. |
| Are the flashbacks now over? I thought we would get a deeper view into Doffy's past, we only saw some short flashbacks of that. |
| I think that with this we can return to the main arc, not bad flasback |
 |
| Don't know why people complain about flashbacks. They're almost always amazing. This is no exception, this episode in particular may be the best of any flashback. A touching and heartrendingly tragic episode. Every moment of it was superb but that ending with Corazon in the snow, the beautiful song, Law's grief. Blew me away. 700+ episodes in an One Piece can still be this good. Now I'm really excited to get back to the current story line! |
| Thank God (Usopp) Toei didn't f*** this up... I think this was one of the best flashbacks. It's ironic how one bad coincidence put Law and Corazon into trouble (Law meeting Vergo) and another coincidence saved Law's life (the Marines taking X-Drake under their wing). |
 |
| I was sure the feels wouldn't get to me after hearing ahead of time about the flashback, but it was done so well. |
| "Let Justice Be Done!" My Theme Fight again, fight again for justice! |
| rip corozan |
 |
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!CORA-SAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (TT^TT) HOLY JESUS. i mean I know this was coming, BUT HOLY SHIT. I'm in TEARS. That was even more beautiful than I expected, AND THAT OST AS CORA-SAN WAS DYING. OMG. |
 |
M0nkeyD_Luffy said: Beautiful episode with one of the most impactful and poignant endings I've ever seen! R.I.P Rocinante! (5/5) Agreed, Rosinante / Cora was a great character to follow, even if these were just flashbacks. Been a while since I got so infested into a side-character in One Piece.  ; _ ; |
 |
| Couldn't feel this backstory that, but still the ending was sad. Backstories of luff's crew mate were more emotional imo. |
 |
| Incredible episode. Loved the use of Corazon's powers in this and how impactful it was that rather than show the exact moment he died, you can HEAR law start crying and that's the moment he's gone. Very emotional. This whole story of Law and Corazon is not long but it is one of the most emotional backstories in my opinion. |
| "I love you." That's where it got me. Incredible use of that movie track too. ;_; We even get some Drake backstory too. |

| Toei is so good at flashbacks |
| "The weak get washed away by the tides of fate...The strong drink it up."-Godot |
| That was really something. Totally feeling Law's pain and reasons for wanting to take down Doffy |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Farewell Corazon rip man u did more than enough. Really a sad episode. |
 |
| NUUUUUUUUUUUUU, CORAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA D': <///////////////////////////3333333333333333333333 The flashbacks of his smile still cracked me up tho LOL |
| Corazon was one awesome fella, shame he died at the hands of his own brother. Freaking Flamingo is just irredeemable... |
 |
| Oh man, oh boy I've not cried this much since Ace's death and that was a long while ago. I don't think anything in One Piece will ever be sadder than the end of Marineford though, unless one of the Straw Hats die- which is highly unlikely. Poor Law. I think what makes his past so sad is because unlike Robin who never really had anything to begin with (her mother being largely absent and her still feeling separate from the other archaeologists), he did have people he cared about & who loved him. His parents and sister were slaughtered, and when he gives up on living he meets Corazon...who is also taken away from him in an equally cruel way. The fact that the calm-calm fruit keeps Law's crying silent just makes everything worse! Like, he knows the exact moment Cora-san dies because his screams turn audible :/ Also X-DRAAAAAKKKKKKEEEEEE. HE WAS THERE. IT'S HIM. I'm presuming the guy who Doffy gunned down is his dad? Calling him a coward was not cool bro- if only you could see him now!! The most interesting thing about this episode though by far was Doffy's reaction to knowing he has to kill Corazon for his "family" to survive. We don't get inside his head too much (which is probably a good thing lol), but it's clear the very moment he prepares himself to kill his brother. Now I'm not sure if he's entirely evil or not- not because of his actions, but rather how he goes about orchestrating them. It seems more likely that his megalomaniac psycho tendencies outweigh anything else; an ends justify the means approach. He doesn't care what he has to do or who he has to kill to do it, so long as he can get to the top & destroy the Celestial Dragons. Too bad the Devil is in the details and he's gonna get reckt by a rubber man lmao Doffy, you gotta take everyone seriously, no matter how insignificant they seem to your plan long-term. |

| And the winner of the Most Tragic backstory goes to Law! Sorry, Robin. I haven't cried this badly since Ace. R.I.P. Rocinante. You were an amazing character and will be deeply missed. |
        |
| Why do the good guys have to die always? |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
| Does anyone know the soundtrack used when Corazon is dying? Around 21min, when he is talking about to stay alive a bit longer to help Law to escape. I heard that it could be possibly be a soundtrack from a movie. Any help be much appreciated! |
| Good to balance out Diablo ex Machina with Deus ex Machina because fuck that bs. Damn that is sad. Haven't cried this hard in one piece since the Baratie arc. So sad but it was perfectly written especially when Corozan had to stay alive just a bit longer to save Law. Oda you are a genius. |
| Cora-san ;_; .... |
 |
| I preemptively got tissues for this episode and it wasn’t enough. I cried like no tomorrow. This was seriously masterful. It had so many layers, and writing wise and direction it all came together so strong. Firstly, I was half wrong, I thought Barrel looked so much like Drake but this was because I didn’t get enough of a look at Drie. He has the scar that Drake has, it’s inevitable that we just built up part of his backstory, we gave one of the most mysterious supernova’s some serious weight in the world. It was done in a way that reminded me of Axehand Morgan’s backstory all the way back in Usopp’s introductory arc. As much as was going on, we got to see his life. He looked to be a servant to a former navy and abusive pirate father. He was described as strong but cowardly and his chance for escape was this very birdcage and from that, he was taken in by the navy which is the coincidence which probably saved Law’s life. His father, killed in cold blood by an angry Doflamingo. Doflamingo, after killing a father, would then reflect on when he killed his own, as preparation for what he was about to do. In doing this we saw yet again how much Doflamingo’s past defines him. In the brief flashback we saw, we had Vergo and Doffy reveal their friendship as what looked like ten year olds, giving even more weight to Punk Hazard, as they met with Trebol asking him for help or something along those lines. Seeing a 10 year old Doffy get involved with these people made me wonder if he is “young master” due to tradition, that he was their master as a child and the name stuck. More importantly as mentioned, we had Doflamingo reflect on that fateful day. The day when he aimed a gun at his father, while Homing hugged Corazon and Corazon begged him not to, and Homing could only apologize for the suffering he put them through. This seemed to only make Doflamingo more angry as, whether or not he felt it, it’s more proof that this kind man got given such a horrible hand in life. It had nothing to do with the quality of his character. That may make me feel even more hopeless if I were in his shoes. It appears Corazon was 8 here as Doflamingo was ten, and he fled, he didn’t want to be with his brother any longer and it was then that Sengoku took him in. The Corazon to Law may have been Sengoku to Corazon and I would wager he stayed with him until he was 14 like Vergo suggested and came back as a spy. All the pieces are coming together. What amazed me about the next scene was that I actually felt for Doflamingo. I do not think he is by any means justified, but I can still nonetheless sympathize with how he feels. He’s rationalized his existence as his family abandoning him and letting him down, his mother died, his father cast him into hell, and now his brother has betrayed him. He had to mentally prepare himself for the act he was about to commit, killing his little brother with the same gun he killed his father with. I earnestly believe him in his hurt response asking “why do I have to kill another member of my biological family?!” And most of all, I had this conflicted feeling that made me realize this interaction was something special. It was when Corazon separated himself from Doflamingo with his own language, speaking of his brother as the Don Quixote captain, and himself as a navy commander. “I AM A NAVY SOLDIER”, said with pride. I was cheering for how empowering and resolved this was, but at the same time, like with Doflamingo’s veiny response of anger, I can’t help but feel he was sincerely hurt by those words. To have his last remaining blood tell him that he’s his enemy without shame would be a lot to stomach and I’m starting to see just how much freaking weight Doflamingo carries on his shoulders everywhere he goes. It’s as if he only expresses himself in composed bursts of anger and everything is stewing and boiling inside of him. I cared for both sides here, and a beautiful touch was Corazon’s apology and truthfulness towards Law speaking in a way that could be interpreted for Doffy, and his faith in Law, his declaration that Law is freaking free now. In a serious way, Corazon has saved another child from becoming a beast like Doflamingo. At risk of going way too far with analysis, seeing that Law has been saved from the same fate Doflamingo shared may sting a little in the present day. To end it off with Corazon dying slowly in the snow but holding on to keep the spell of silence over Law because he knew that he could not stay quiet, and with Tsuru’s explosions being timed with music and the wails of Law finally being covered and thus signifying the death of Corazon was like actually beautiful. That was an insanely emotional and pretty montage. I was wailing like Law was and this was one of my favorite episodes of One Piece. Edit:I just gave it some more thought and realized I think what was set up in the Trebol flashback was that Doflamingo saved his family with conquerors haki as they were strung up, Trebol took notice and sent Vergo to come possibly recruit him! It's definitely something I should have given more focus initially because it sets up Trebol to be the guy who was in charge of everything. It also denotes a change in leadership as Doflamingo surpassed him. In a sense when these kids needed someone most after their father was gone, Corazon found Sengoku like Law found Corazon, but Doflamingo found Trebol, someone who probably only corrupted him further. |

| Damn, Law lost two dads is such a short time :( Rocinante is definitely one of my favorite One Piece characters, he really made himself likeable in a few episodes. |
 |
| Seeing Cora-san getting beaten up mercilessly and getting fatally shot by Doflamingo right in front of Law was already bad enough but him living through his injuries just long enough for Law to escape successfully even while he was crying his eyes out made the whole thing absolutely devastating... It was rather surprising to see that Trebol got demoted from leader to executive. I get why Doffy turned out like this but it really looks like he had the inclination to be pure evil right from the get go after all. |
 |
| That was really sad and painful to watch. What an amazing guy Corazon was. RIP. I feel so bad for Law. ;__; |
 |
| I cried in this one when Law was walking alone after getting out of the box ;-; |
| This gives so much more meaning to Law's chest tattoo. The heart is a namesake for Corazon & the smile is in honor of his final moments. It's also the antithesis of Doflamingo's jolly roger, which is the smile crossed out (as if to scorn his brother). |
 |
| Coro-San was a real one 😔 the ending scene hit hard he stayed alive just a bit more so that Law could escape and watching Law escape while crying in silence was honestly so sad |
 |
| Due to reading Spoilers, I've already knew what's gonna happen in this episode, so I'm quite happy I choose to watch the whole Corazon/Law Past Part at home, and not on my way to work xDD I would have had teary eyes... and it would be emberrasing to explain why xDD  The part that hurt the most was, Law crying in silent... now my desire to get Law's chest Tattoo on my arm grow even bigger |
 |
| Rosinante was amazing.. gone, but not forgotten. |
 |
| Rosinante is best boy in all of One Piece, I declare it now. |
