Hello My Friends (Who I am still mad at! 😡😂)! I just wanted to say that I see all of your awesome comments from both of the Dressrosa videos! I haven’t responded to them yet, because I want to discuss some of them during the After-Party livestream tomorrow! (04/02/23 at 1:00pm CST)! If you can’t make it, no worries, it will be available to watch afterwards!
Ok, class dismissed! Until we meet again - GO READ!
What triggered Sabos' memory was actually something that fell through translation. Admiral Akainus real name is Sakazuki, which is a word in japanese that translates to the ritual in which people drink sake and become family. So when Sabo read the paper he read something among the lines of:
Luffy
Sakazuki (Three cups)
Ace
DEAD
And that's when his memeory kicked in.
If that is true Oda is cruel...
Giving the most untrustworthy individual in the story a name that references community and brotherhood is morbidious (is that a word?)
brutal of Oda. There’s probably a ton of references that gets lost in translation like this.
Damn I never knew this. Appreciate this little nugget of information!
Corazon left such a big mark on Law from the very obvious stuff like his jolly roger, his crew's name, his tattoos, having his name on the back of the coat he wears in dressrosa but also just how he dresses. Law has adopted Cora's fashion sense and even wears feathers at time (his outfit he wore on the sunny from punk hazard to dressrosa for example)
A character with such a small time but such pivotal impact. It shows how magnificent oda writing is.
Fujitora apologizing to King Riku on behalf of the whole navy, then reprimanding Akainu HIS BOSS 😂 about the value of transparency and integrity is two of the best moments post timeskip and I’m sad not many people talk about these scenes.
You can’t tell me Fuji doesn’t have honor. What a guy.
small thing to remeber, Doffy was reading about white town after he met Law, he wanted to learn what happened to this kid, he cared for the Doffy fam too, he stood up for Pika"s voice, never made fun of Pink, "protected" baby 5 from worse guys, and even with what he was planning for Cora, he didnt want to kill his family again. you could even tell he was upset about Vergo and remorseful about Monet, Doffy was a monster of a person, and no doubt he was manipulating them all, but he cared at least a bit about them all.
Yeah. Doflamingo is a very bad person who does terrible stuff, but you really have to appreciate how he looks after and cares about his crew
I mean, he ordered Monet to kill herself rather than doing literally anything to save her (with Buffalo and Baby 5 on the way too) and only got upset at her death when it happened in a way that stopped him from fulfilling his ambitions and screwed up his plans; someone who really liked their crew, like Luffy, would have tried to help her first and dealt with the dangers of Kaidou or tried to recapture Caesar later instead of ordering her to *commit suicide for his selfish ambitions*. Doffy makes it a point to know his crew's weaknesses very, very well so he can manipulate them, and does it so well that they're willing to die for him, but when push comes to shove he couldn't care if they lived or died.@@cssnssn
Remorse is a strong word seeing as he only displays anything resembling it in the moments where he's getting her to kill herself just so he can keep running his SMILE empire and avoid Kaidou. If he cared about her or Vergo at all, or anywhere near as much as he pretends to, he'd have at least tried to order them to get out of there and figured out what to do later; he only gets genuinely upset at Monet's death when he realizes she was killed without setting off the weapon on Punk Hazard. He was fully prepared to sacrifice Cora by convincing him to take the Ope Ope no Mi-ostensibly to save Law, but it's made very clear he wants Cora to die and give him the eternal life surgery. He's *protective* of his crew, but only insofar as he sees them as extensions of himself, which is why he's willing to sanction the murder of anyone who makes fun of Pica's voice but calls Trebol worthless the second he loses in battle; they're *his* family, so anyone else slighting them is slighting him, but they're no longer family once he's decided they're no longer useful. It's why Cora instantly knows that he needs to protect Law when he hears his name, Law who's at this point a member of the Donquixote family who Doffy should theoretically care for like the others, because he knows Doffy will gladly kill the child he adopted, a member of his family, if he thinks Law having a D initial might *possibly* interfere with his ambitions. Luffy cares for his crew in an unselfish way and will protect them no matter what, even against their will, and he'd never dream of ordering one of them to die for his goals. It's heavily implied that Law loves the Heart Pirates enough to leave them in Zou for their safety while he tries to take revenge on Doffy, even if they'd be willing to risk their lives for him in Dressrossa, because its *his* problem and he even feels so bad risking Luffy's life that he feels he can't be allowed to live if Luffy dies fighting Doffy on his behalf. Doffy's "love" is deeply abusive and superficial and only exists insofar as his family obeys him slavishly and can help further his ambitions, and their lives and happiness are secondary to that; he's just smart enough to know that in order to maintain a crew of loyal executives, he needs to know them well enough to exploit their weaknesses and make them love him or else they'd have no reason to continue serving him.
Doffy's a great character because he's a heartless, manipulative person who is devoid of empathy, but he's *so good* at that manipulating people that he tricks both the Donquixote family and even the audience into thinking he truly cares about them despite very clear evidence to the contrary.
Dressrosa is an incredible arc. Sadly a lot of people actually saw the anime, which really dragged out the arc. But in the manga it's really great. Law and Corazon are incredible, Dofflamingo is the best villain, Gear 4, Fujitora, Sabo, Zoro cutting Picca, Rebec a and Kyros, Luffys Grand fleet, everything is great.
Did you notice that ussop used observation haki for the first time during him saving luffy/law?
god i am SO GLAD dressrosa is your favorite arc. it's always been mine, but so many people got turned off by the anime pacing of the coliseum that they end up being blind to how INSANELY beautiful its story is. the theme of love in this arc is wonderfully handled and has always hit home for me. oda lets the concept branch in so many directions, and all of them resonate so deeply, even the more out there ones like señor pink or bellamy which you don't initially expect to go down that path. ultimately it's basically everything i love about one piece in a single arc-making you care deeply for its themes and characters in the most surprising yet satisfying ways.
I love that you loved Dressrosa so much!! It’s one of my fave new world arcs and I think it’s criminally underrated in the fandom
Is it underrated???
I always thought many people liked the Arc a lot... Well at least more than I do...
@@naviro6672 especially week to week, people HATED dressrosa because of its length and all the focus on these side characters instead of the SH. Same with Whole Cake, it’s only years after the fact that the fandom has kind of come around on those arcs.
@@dantlee14
I see that...
But for me Dressrosa isnt as good as many other arcs because their are to many backstories... And for me the story of Doffy taking over is told once to often...
WCI on the other hand is my favorit post timeskip arc
There's actually a cover art out there that depicts Franky and Senor Pink sharing that drink!
You have to experience the raw grief and tradegy that comes with Law and Cora on a blind basis because those 7 chapters HURT. (If you have yet to, watch the coresponding episodes, they make me cry, every time)
I'm glad that fans who binge read the Dressrosa arc appreciate it a lot more than people who read it weekly.
1. Your shirt is amazing
2. You have now met one of my top 5 OP characters and a man I love very dearly the fantastic Corazon.
3. I have yet to properly start the video but excited to get to watch it.
That opening letter was awesome ❤ Please forgive!
Mindblowing fact - sabo didn't regain his memories because ace died but because he the the words ace luffy and sakazuki(akainu) in the news paper . Sakazuki is the process by which the three of them became brothers ie sharing of sake
Law will always be my favorite character the amount of screen time he has is second to the straw hats themselves at this point in the story and rightfully so.
Fun fact: the character of Fujitora is heavily based on Zatoichi, from the Japanese films of the 60s. Zatoichi is a blind swordsman who wanders from town to town, earning a living by giving massages. And, if he happens to right some wrongs and stack some bodies, well, that's just a matter of course for such an honerable man.
More specifically the actor Shintaro Katsu as all the admirals are based on famous Japanese actors.
There is something so beautiful about the relationship between law and corazon. I like how law named his pirate crew after him (corazon means heart in spanish)
He also said it in sabaody amber he said to Raleigh he doesn’t want “to conquer anything the pirate king is the freest on the sea”
Re: Robin, this was my biggest frustration in Dressrosa. She is easily one of the top 4 or 5 fighters on the crew at this point of the story, she is an absolute badass with a genuinely lethal DF ability, so WHY ISNT SHE GETTING ANY ACTUAL FIGHTS??? LET ROBIN COOK ODA 😩😤😤
Doflamingo is my favorite villian in all of fiction, his fruit and his pure evil with his backstory made him the perfect villian for me.
Yaaaaas your heart pirate clothes!!!!!!
I love Dressrosa so much too. Law's backstory will never fail to make me so sad.
You should def watch how the anime did his backstory. The voice acting and music and all that is just so good!
oh so on Law Luffy and Zoro I like to say that Zoro is Luffy's First Mate, his second in command, and Law is his best friend. I totally get feeling like Zoro is being overshadowed a bit but I love Luffy having a close friend outside of his crew.
1) Pretty sure it's implied Baby 5 got her name by simply being the 5th to be born and that's pretty damn sad
2) Señor Pink was already in the Donquixote family before he met Russian
3) Isn't it incredible this far into such a long story and it's your favorite arc?! How can it be so Damn good?!
4) I was driving so maybe I was distracted and missed the parts where you talk about Gear 4 and Luffy gaining over 5,000 subordinates
5) Lovely review as always
6) GO READ 😾
Both Doflamingo and a character whose backstory hasn't come up for you yet (I think it will 2 arcs from now..) had a tragic backstory that was immediately followed by being 'adopted' or otherwise guided by people who had malicious intent. In Doflamingo's case, Trebol was the one who gave him the gun he used to kill his own father, and enabled everything else he did afterwards. The other character I'm referring to had a tragic childhood, and was then also taken in/led around by someone who encouraged their worst instincts.
Contrast this to someone like Law who had a tragic backstory but then was taken in and guided by Cora who had a pure heart and only wanted the best for Law. When children with extraordinary abilities are not guided by those with kind hearts, their eventual fate is far worse. Same for Kyros - he got revenge for his friend but would have probably been executed if King Riku hadn't intervened and helped him find a path of goodness.
Imagine if Doflamingo hadn't ever run into Trebol, and instead was confronted with a parent figure who could have put him on a path for good? We'll never know how things could have turned out differently.
11:40 That's a common complain about the Sabo situation. Yes, you can justify Sabo not knowing, to some extent you can justify Luffy not knowing (he doesn't read the newspapers or checks bounty posters for anyone other than his crew), but Ace not knowing when he was Whitebeard's Second Division Commander sounds a bit iffy.
Also, on a sidenote, the ritual of sharing a cup of sake to become brothers, or parent and child, is called Sakazuki. Sakazuki is also the real name of Akainu, so in that news article Sabo read "Ace," "Luffy" and "Sakazuki." Add that to the shock of the death, and that's why that was the one to trigger his memories, and not any other article about Luffy (we've seen a few) or Ace (like the ones about him being in prison, or his execution being announced that we saw in Sabaody (Drake was reading it) and in Amazon Lily).
34:05 and then joining as his grand fleet anyways because they were free to make their own decision was great also
I feel the same with Law, i like a lot Law, don t worry, the dinamyc between Zoro and Luffy is not gonna stop, he always gonna be his right hand, just wait to see ❤ you said before he is a king, yeah Oda knows very well that😊
Im so happy to see how much u love dressrosa. Its crazy to see how different this arc is received between weekly n binge readers. Weekly readers didnt find it that great while the more recent bunge readers have it as like theur fav arc
30:18 so to say Japanese names you break them down into the syllables.
So Fujitora is said fu-ji-to-ra
fuji like mount fuji and tora like the Japanese word for Tiger
It means purple tiger
@@liftedmarco4976 cool good to know!
3:55 "And I guess that up until now nobody ever told you to stop doing that?" (paraphrasing, it's been too long, don't remember the actual quote)
And just a side note, Oda had backstories like hers and Señor Pink for the entirety of Doffy's crew, but I believe the editor told him "HELL NO! This arc was already a monster, you won't make it even longer!"
I just binge-watched all of your OP reviews and I just loved loved loved them! I'm from Japan, but there's no girls around me who follow OP so it was quite a different experience to watch your videos in a really good way. How you go into such details about each characters is so heart-felt sometimes, it brought tears into my eyes remembering the panels in my head. I can't wait for you to all catch up!
It really recontextualize what King of the Pirates is. I love it. It’s not about fame for Luffy. He doesn’t want to be a hero (even though he is). That moment really stuck out with me too.
I loved how you were like "and then he met Corazon and who throw him out a window" then just moved on lol
Woohoo! Glad to see my favorite arc become yours as well!
I’m so glad you enjoyed Dressrosa. Law is my absolute favorite and of course I love Corazon soooooo much, I cry every time 😭
About Law taking Zoro’s place, I don’t see it that way, I think Zoro is like a brother to Luffy, he’s super important to him, and Law is more like a best friend (Zoro is my 2nd favorite btw).
And Doffy, what a character, I Know he is evil and killed his brother, but I love him too, I mean I hate him and love him at the same time 😂
the revolutionaries arent too well known and even if Sabo say did come up in a paper in the last two years Luffy doesnt read the paper at all, he stays basically totally out of touch with world news. Also somene may have already said it but the cup cerimony that Luffy Ace and Sabo wore their brotherhood over is called Sakazuki which is magma bastards name. So in the newspaper Sabo saw Ace's name Luffy's and the name of the cerimony and that is what helped trigger his memory to return.
Bellamy is my #1 favorite and the best character in the series, but respect to Cavendish who's also in my top five favorites including SH's; Cabbage, The Pirate Prince and of the "White Horse," half and half with the "Carving Winds of Rommel," Hakuba who he's tamed after years of struggle, a "genius of the sword," skilled and graced with finesse of style, a sitter on the couch and Captain of the First Ship of the Strawhat Grand Fleet; and the future 2nd greatest swordsman in the world.
I'm really glad you enjoyed this arc! I'm truly grateful to you for making me relive One Piece once again. 🥰 I'm caught up and I'm happy to report that the hype train never stops. 🥰 we will await you to join us. Until then please enjoy the journey.
This arc is kind of divisive due to the pacing, but I'm in your camp - I think Dressrosa is one of the best arcs in the entire story!
Glad to hear there is another dressrossa fan. It is one of my top arcs.
It's so good to see somebody else enjoy Dressrosa! I can't wait until my roommate gets here lol
You're right, Zoro does not get the attention he deserves post-timeskip. Stuff like that is kinda why I personally have to separate pre and post-timeskip arcs when I discuss favorites. Tbh non of the Strawhats outside of Luffy get enough attention despite the increasing length of the arcs, and it brings down the narrative as a whole. You feel less and less connected to the conflict as the Strawhat crew is less involved, but the story just keeps chugging along and stuff keeps happening. That being said... theres an arc coming up that fixes most of those issues, so that's exciting.
People Who don't spoil, : we are the the grief you don't plan for and the pain you don't expect.
U gave credit for Franky's smart idea to zoro. Zoro did zoro and just ran up to the cage with his swords and tried to push back. Franky notices because the factory is made of sea stone that it's not being cut by the cage
I think whatever humanity doflamingo had, if he had any, died when his mother died. After that, his only family became whoever was loyal to him and who were with him from the start. Trebol and diamante also spoiled him to the core.
I'm guessing that letter was aimed at Merphy, right??? She is the guilty one!
Dressrosa is fun on a binge. Amber good thing you didn't live through it weekly fans who did sigh when arc brought up.
Doflamingo was such a great villain just wants the world to burn! He's perfect villain to carry this big arc. Law I still can't believe Oda created him last minute for Sabody and became so loved by fans! Even Oda said couldn't believe Law became such a fan favorite 😂.
Congrats on finishing such a huge arc in the series Amber. Still one bigger then Dressrosa good luck with that one. Lucky next one ain't so big.
Dressrosa is one of my favorites arcs I'm so excited you also loved it!!!
The thing is, Amber, everyone only compared One Piece to Dragon Ball and Naruto to fight each other with powerscaling. It's the plague riddling Shonen Manga to compare power that basically means nothing.
No, I mean, that was the whole point between Doffy and Corazon. One fell into bad hands and one fell into good hands and both were partly a product of how they were raised. If the paths had been swapped, things may have been very different. Would Doffy have fallen so far? Probably not. Would Corazon have been so selfless and good? Probably not.
Children are a product of their environment.
The saddest thing is that Doflamingo never got the chance to have a possible good because the people who took him pushed him deeper into the darkness. The true irony is that Law was set to go on the same path as Doffy - was very much a mirror of Doffy in his youth, someone who lost everything he loved and was in so much anger and pain - but was given a good path to follow. It shows that if given a good path Doffy may have been able to change like Law did, alas, that never happened.
Robin is a passive guard. You rarely see the true value or extent of what she is doing, but if it werent for her world would be a lot harsher
I dont think Luffy knows or care for revolutionaries much
You can say that Luffy has ton of best friends. Like if you can say Luffy and Zoro always have each other's back and trust each other completely kind of relationship, Luffy can also be considered best friend with Usopp who vibe with each other the most. I think all strawhats can be considered best friends
Usopp traumatizing women with OP abilities 😅
There are inspirations for ton of inspirations for OP chars, for Fujitora's you should check out clips of Zatoichi. There were 25 movies in span of 11 years for this character
I was trying to make a paragraph on my love for Corazon and how he's story is one of the best characters to ever been put to page, but I was crying so much thinking about it, so instead i just gonna say that i love how he is the unseen hero for Law, and how brilliant that ties in with hes devil fruit habilites and how he stay in the shadows to do the right think, and the only people that knows that, it's Law and Sengoku.
Also Bellamy is such a powerful character as well... this arc is crazy good...
AND it's the star of One Piece getting better with every chapter... good luck with that ♥
I'm so glad you like dressrosa it's my favorite arc! Anime watchers usually hate it because of the pacing :(
Cute pfp and username 🥺!!! :3
first meeting cora: "this guy hits kids? what a monster"
last scene with cora: "i would die for you a thousand times"
One thing I always like to point out when people reach this point, are the many parallels between Alabasta and Dressrosa. It's really easy to connect both arcs, Dressrosa is what would've become of Alabasta if Crocodile succeeded, you have a Warlord taking over a country from a good King, and Luffy protecting it because he became friends with the teenager princess, Fujitora refusing to cover up the Strawhats involvement as Smoker was forced to do, and more. But the one parallel I love is how Luffy's finishing blow is mirrored, and it reflects how both Doflamingo and Crocodile operated.
* Luffy punched Croc up from the shadows of the underground where he hid, and into the light for everyone to see. The rain starts to fall.
* Luffy punched Doffy from the skies, where he sat as a puppeteer, as a god, and into the ground, on the same level as anyone else. The birdcage disappears.
I love how those two scenes play side by side
Corasan is actually my fav character in the series.
I was legitimately so sad when he died and we wouldn't be seeing his antics anymore.
the way the arena announcer comes back during Luffy's fight with Doffy is hilarious
Sugar has the most terrifying power in all OP
So happy you like Dressrosa so much!
I first experienced it in the anime and I have totally loved it, even though people keep complaining about pacing issues. My only complaint for the anime version is that they overused some parts of Rebecca's backstory so much that I genuinely felt annoyed at some point (and I felt guilty about it because it is truly tragic and heartbreaking).
Dressrosa is so jam packed with amazing backstories: Doflamingo's backstory, Law's backstory, Rebecca/Kyro's/Riku's backstories, Baby 5's backstory, and Senor PInk's backstory.
Every one got me to tear up at some point. Kyro's wearing gloves when playing with his own daughter because he believes his hands are soiled and then he becomes a toy and can never feel her touch, absolutely ruined me. Rebecca breaking down when her memories of Kyro's come back and she connects the toy soldier to the lost memories of her father and says "I have a father!"
I still haven't gotten over the fact that Oda managed to take a character as ridiculous as Senor Pink and make me love him and ache for him. Seeing how Doflamingo twisted Baby 5's broken need to be 'needed' and used it rather then helping her to heal and how an 'enemy' finally told her what she needed to hear and committed to her.
The love Homing felt for his kids, he doesn't plea for his life when Doflamingo wants to kill him, he accepts it and instead says "Doflamingo, Rosinante, I'm sorry you had to have a father like me."
How despite all his suffering Corazon internalizes his dad's beliefs and becomes one of the best most kind hearted men in a series absolutely stuffed to the brim with good people. Giving up everything for Law's sake. Clinging desperately to life so that his devil fruit power won't fade so Law can cry and scream without being caught by Doflamingo.
Possibly the most emotionally devastating arc. Would probably be tiered higher but the anime adaptation is extremely bad, everything from Marineford onward is very badly paced in the anime but Dressrosa was the worst it ever got, with things like Rebecca's flashback being shown 48 times really dragging the whole thing down. (One Pace version is mostly great though.)
I LOVE YOUR LETTER READING RANT LOL Comedy Gold lol
Honestly, the Dressrosa arc is filled with so much amazing character work that it boggles the mind that Oda got it right so many times on so many levels with the amount of characters thrown into it. Like Senor Pink is a walking testament to "Let him cook" or "let him write" in this case. Absolutely nobody going into this arc ever expects the twist on why he's wearing baby clothes and we're all crying along with him by the end of his fight with Franky. Side note though: Pink was part of Doflamingo's crew during his time with his wife and before his son died. Unsure what caused him to join up, but I feel like his wife and child were more of an escape from that life; like it was his chance to have the life that he probably never thought he could given his history of piracy.
Meanwhile, Baby 5 wins the award for most compact and powerful backstory explaining that the actions that made her specific running gag up to this point were, in fact, a trauma response to the one two punch of her own mother abandoning her and saying that nobody needed her. This being followed by Lao G cheerfully explaining how useful that trauma was showed how broken Doflamingo's "family" really is. That they absolutely recognized what was wrong with her, but they chose to exploit it rather than help her overcome it. The most they ever did was step in to prevent anyone (her various "fiances") from taking her away because it would ruin their own plans. They still allowed her behavior to run so wild that she was in massive debt due to all the newspaper subscriptions she had and various other schemes she fell for. Never mind actual familia members also taking advantage of this, like Buffalo; who specifically pointed out the behavior and then used it to borrow gambling money from her in the same breath. All of this showed that they were totally okay with her reinforcing said trauma and suffering from that behavior so long as it didn't rock their own boat. Then along comes our boi, Sai who was the first person to tell her "she was getting it all wrong" and being the first person to basically say "This behavior is not okay, and it's not okay that nobody has tried to help you before now."
Yes Sugar and her power are terrifying and yes she is also a grown ass adult inside a child's body because she stopped aging when she got her devil fruit. Fun fact that they never actually mention within the story - Sugar is Monet's (Punk Hazard Bird lady) sister.
Bellamy really got me to feel bad for him and he can almost be a kind of negative parallel to Luffy's own journey. He was someone who set out as a pirate to impress a specific idol that he looked up to; only for said idol to treat him like trash and throw him away when he no longer amused him. But yeah, the best way I can describe the relationship and Bellamy's pain in the same sentence is that Doflamingo was to Bellamy as Shanks is to Luffy. So if you can imagine the kind of pain that Luffy would go through if he finally made it to Shanks only to be told "You're trash and will never be more than a thug. We are not the same" then you can imagine what Bellamy is going through and worse since he literally devoted himself to this man only to have it spat back in his face. With this in mind, seeing the smoldering ruins that used to be Bellamy's self-esteem makes a lot more sense.
I understand the critic with Robin, you definitely aren't the only one to have it, but I can assure that she gets her time in some upcoming arcs. Time for her following her own path and also time where she breaks some bitches who had it coming.
To your point that Cavendish reminds you of Sanji, I don't know if you watched any anime clips that had them, but Cavendish and Bartolomeo have blond and green hair respectively; yet another best friend rivalry is born between a pair of blond and green haired characters!
Usopp's line before he makes the shot, "I don't want to see the seas without you in it" really hits in that moment. This was a shot not only to save the country, but to also save his best friend. You aren't in the minority when it comes to people getting mad at Usopp for his actions earlier in the arc. That said, people tend to forget that, as long as this arc is, it all takes place in the span of a single afternoon. Usopp is not really a character that's inclined to risk himself for people he's just met, but he will absolutely refuse to back down when it comes to the people he chooses to be his nakama. He stood up to his own nakama for the Merry, he went to Enies Lobby for Robin and he entire career as a Strawhat is to respond to the belief that Luffy has in him.
Corazon was too good for this world.
I think I'll cut off this novel here and just say that I'm looking forward to seeing you in Zou! Since you were mad at us not warning you, You aren't ready lol.
0:06 Even though I kinda saw it coming, but your letter shocked me at first ngl
0:26 Dressrosa is good, but somewhat controversial because of its length and especially because of the poorly paced anime.
1:51 that’s why the fandom keeps spreading the love to others!
4:35 this is such a good change by any One Piece fan.
5:51 yeah, Sugar’s devil fruit prevents her aging. So she’s a grown woman in a child’s body.
9:54 you and me have such a soft spot for Luffy’s love for his brothers. Crybaby Luffy is still my fav even if he isn’t a child anymore
17:15 in case you didn’t notice, Usopp has awakened his potential for Observational Haki here!
21:04 I love your take! Usually people only argue about nature vs nurture, but it’s a bit more complex than this.
22:54 Corazon means “heart” in Spanish and Law is tattooed with heart symbols AND calls his pirate crew the “heart pirates”
26:20 Law’s backstory is so brutal… No wonder he has so much hatred in his heart
28:00 Oda has such a sadistic mind to make Law cry so much in silence because of Corazon’s powers, but then Law being able to hear his own voice thus confirming Corazon’s death… So sadistic, but I love it
29:55 I’m so glad that you recognized Koala!
32:00 We do love our Barto! Did… Did you notice something different on Sanji’s bounty?
33:25 I love Luffy’s need for freedom and how the grand fleet just said “we reject your rejection” because now Luffy knows how others feel about his nonsense
Thank you for reviewing! I’m looking forward to the livestream
Wow you noticed that Bellamy has the same grit as Luffy.
He's my favorite character in the series/my favorite of in my mind the three biggest Luffy foil/parallels in the series (Blackbeard, Bellamy, Kid); it was very fun but also difficult defending him from fandom hate when Dressrosa was week to week.
I love that he learned about being a follower and instead went to find himself, rather than join the fleet even though Luffy is someone worth following.
Bellamy's stubborn but he's finally learned a little.
One thing (amongst a lot, he's very complex/thematically relevant) you might not have noticed about him Doflamingo told Bellamy the same thing Law told Tashigi, that the weak don't get to choose their way to die and Bellamy proceeded to try exactly that through suicide by Luffy, but ultimately still dancing to Doflamingo's strings just as he told Bellamy he was "free to do whatever, like he'd always been," while knowing Bellamy would still fight Luffy.
And ultimately Bellamy couldn't choose his place to die, being saved by Law.
I'm LOVING the reviews ! can't wait for the next one :) have fun reading !
The thing I didn't particularly understand was how Robin could know about Sabo based on her time with the Revolutionaries during the 3D/2Y business, only to not bring him up to Luffy when they reunited.
He may have told her not to mention him.
I'm very happy to see that you loved it!
Hey Amber how it been. I hope your day been well. Lol love the Shemp sound at the beginning. I like your Heart Pirates T shirt and cap. But yes this 2nd part arc was amazing. Law backstory, from losing his family, his relationship with Corzan and his time with the Donquixote Pirates was so sad but very well written. We also as well get Doflamingo backstory as well and how he was once a Celestial Dragon after his father gave up the title. In which Doflamingo loved the World Noble life and what it brings to him. To him and his family being hated by the locals from the country and to be force to live in a shack to only lose his mother from illness and grew to hate his father in which he eventually killed him and later on his own brother Corzan. The way you describe Doflamingo is the reason why the name Joker fits him. He remind me of the Joker from the DC Batman universe because they are so evil. What makes the character scarier is they're unpredictable.
Senor Pink backstory is so sad. It just shows yo shouldn't judge a book by it cover. Bellamy development in this arc was great as well. Sabo was great in this arc. And I like how Oda gave us Sabo POV for how he found out about Ace death. Cavendish is an interesting character. I find the other half of him Hakuba very interesting as well. Zoro vs Pica battle was amazing. Especially cool when he surround his sword around Haki. Usopp came in clutch when it came to defeating Sugar and stopping her from about to change Luffy and Law into toys. Robin and Frank was great in this 2nd half as well.
Corzan was amazing character. I like how his story and how he helped Law when he was kid and how his relationship with Law and his death is what shape Law to the character as we the audience see. Very similar to the relationship with Bell-mere with Nami. Oda is a great story teller. Kyros getting revenge on Diamante for killing his wife was good moment. Fujitora bowing and apologizing to the people of Dressrosa for the faults of the World Government was a great moment. Bartolomeo and Cavendish crack me up at the end of the arc. Luffy Gear Four design is cool and awesome. I hope you check it out in the anime episode 726. Seeing Luffy get allies in the Strawhat Fleet was a great moment to finish off the arc. But anyway I hope you have a wonderful day. Stay safe, stay positive, stay blessed and take care Queen of the Pirates.
Yeah that intro is some real lawyer shit 😂
The pain when I realized that Baby 5 isn't even her name, her mother just assigned her a number...
Robin did know and I’ve always chalked up luffy and ace not knowing because they just don’t care about the newspaper and what goes on outside of there journey
Wasn’t expecting that pronunciation of Fujitora! Love it!
Was eagerly awaiting the part 2 to this review to see if your thoughts and opinions would stay as positive as the first
Luffy really reverts to crybaby luffy when he around the people who he grew up with which is adorable. For ace and sabo not knowing each other my headcanon is that sabo being a revolutionary had always kept him hidden from the world as like you said only dragon is the most well known one as he is the leader and the most dangerous/wanted criminal so ace wouldn't have saw any picture of sabo. For sabo what triggered him to remember ace is sakazuki which means three cups with seeing luffy holding ace while he was dying out, as before he probably saw ace's bounty poster but nothing really gave him a trigger. It is a very plot convenient thread however I appreciate sabo role in the story and how different he is from ace and not just some clone to take his place. Ace was moreso a character who was meant to have heavy ramifications on luffy story as shown at marineford, while sabo is someone who has his own agenda to the overall story which you'll see more as you continue.
also have i left like 5 comments already, yes cause i love this arc and keep having things to say
USOPP is Luffy's best friend actually😅
ZORO is more like a partner/ brother in arms type of relationship
I think you are being too hard on Doffy, even though he really is not well in the head.
I personally take into account the environment he was born in (before leaving Marie Geoise) as well as his proclivity as a spoilt and selfish child. It's not that he killed his father and especially his brother without feeling anything.
Especially in Rocinante's case, I think he was truly hurt, both by Rocinante's betrayal and the fact that he had to kill him. For me, Doffy's problem is that he is so twisted that he really doesn't know how to love properly, not that he is really unfeeling. Because he's suffered he feels relief and even pleasure when others are suffering as well.
As another commenter said, we can see he really cares for his family. It's just that it's not the completely selfless way the StrawHats care for each other. Because Doffy is the way he is, he can only love in his own twisted way.
But he will always be my favourite Heavenly Demon 🖤
Glad someone appreciates dressrossa as much as i do😭
PLEEEEEASE FORGIVE US!!!😭😭😭.....and forgive us for the next few arcs cause WE'LL NEVER TEEELL.😁😁😁😁
Sugar’s devil fruit power is broken😳👌👍
the seat of Heart or Corazon in Doffy family should be belong to Vergo, but Vergo need to infiltrate Marine so Rosinante replace him and became Corazon
😂 it’s my favorite arc as well. Dressrosa gang
Usopp unlocked or used observation Haki to see/sense Luffy and Law up there.
You need to hear the real pika voice
Perfect intro.
nice review...I like it
Apology accepted.
We can not guarantee it won't happen again
It may, we can only say you join us on this side as others reach this point of the journey
Side note Senior pink is hard boiled.
You forgot that Usopp got observation haki when he sniped sugar👍
Doffy time
We hereeeeeeee🎉
Yup She was The fifth baby. BABY 5
Her backstory broke me 😭 I couldn't even really blame her mother because she truly couldn't do anything for her. Living in conditions like that really harden people's hearts.
@@evelynarhondi6375 yah in wano there's a panel of a woman about to kill her baby because of hunger. But luffy shows up with all that food. It's not in the anime though
Please....forgive us.....and don't hate us later cause WE'LL NEVER TEEEELL ( sing sing Britany Murphy ) 😁😁😁
So let it happen again without any warning, got it I understand completely.
LESSS GOOO

I get that you feel betrayed by your one piece friends. But do you really want to be spoiled about the story? These emotions are part of the great grand journey Oda created with One Piece.
Hoping for an answer.
