      well in one of his ancient video he already says that one of his (and mine too) favorite foreshadowing in One Piece was "the D. being the natural enemy of God", in Skypiea Luffy was litterally the natural enemy of eneru because he was rubber and eneru was lightning, but in Dresrosa he is the natural enemy of doflamingo because he id a D. and Doflamingo is a celestial Dragon.

    i realized some things about dressrosa even if i don't know how that incorporate into a greater theme, but for exemple until recently i never noticed that Kyros, during his flashback when he was a criminal and was freed by Riku, was still saw bad by Dressrosa people for a moment and was saying "why can't i be forgotten", and Oda brought the reverse of the medal with that in the present by having Kyros turning into a toy and so being indeed forgotten, showing that it's not something you might really want.

    Another thing regarding Doflamingo's obsession with having control of everything is that for a large part of his life, Doflamingo had no control over his destiny. His parents stripped him of his godhood and forced him to live among the common folk. But after he obtained the Ito-Ito No Mi and became a Shichubukai, now he able to seek the control that he so desperately desired.

  • @ninjastorm540
    @ninjastorm540 5 ปีที่แล้ว +30

    What i find interesting about this arc is it feels like a "what if Crocodile succeeded arc" Cause it has a ton of similarities to the alabasta arc and Crocodile and Donflamingo had close to the same goals but Donflamingo actually succeeded. Both were trying to over the country, frame the king and cause a rebellion but only Don succeeded of course. Plus both are or were obviously warlords doing this. So this does feel like a alternate version of alabasta where no one got there in time to save it.

      Island Boy that’s because judging pacing is entirely based on personal preference. If something is long most people would find it slow since it takes forever to get from point A to point B. But if you are enjoying everything along the way it doesn’t feel slow. For me personally while I loved this arc I did have issues with pacing in the sense that there were a decent amount of uncesssry scenes. For example there were atleast 4 scenes that shows people running away when the Birdcage began to close in. You only needed 1 or 2 scenes for this and the others were redundant. Redundancy. That was the main issue of pacing in Dressrosa. There was a somewhat decent amount of repeated scenes like the example I gave. But most of Dressrosa was great. It needed to be that long tbh. But if the fat was trimmed a bit it would be better

    Dressrosa is a really great arc (8/10) that gets to much unfair criticism. It has flaws for sure but the qualities of the arc completely overshadowed its problems.
    I think the fans start getting arc fatigue because how long the arc has but we need to remember that while this arc was 100 chapter long we experience like it was 120-130 chapters because this was the arc where Oda start taking consistent breaks.

    • @florencep2209

      Hoenstly, anime-Dressrosa was trash. Why?
      1. Way, way too many fucking crowd reactions. Every time somthing happens, it gets narrated by one character, then all the bystanders around get a few panels worth of reactions. By the end of Dressrossa I was so infuriated that can't look back at that arc and say that I enjoyed it overall.
      2. Rebecca, imho, is very annoying, uninteresting, and cries way too much. Crying is a very strong emotional reaction, but when overused, it gets insanely annoying very quickly.
      As much greatness there is to be found in this arc, as portrayed by the video, it was the one arc that pretty much made me quit OP overall for quite a while and come back near the end of the arc by only reading the manga and skipping through the last few episodes.
      It's great to talk about etc. in retrospect, but I will not forget how frustrating this arc was when it was fresh and new.

    I really like the fact that your arc analyses don't seem to shove some opinion down my throat how I should feel about an arc or how i should rate it. After watching the video, I don't feel like you're telling me "Dressrosa is so underrated and you just don't like it because you can't see the bigger picture and you're opinion is trash". You just present a viewpoint on an arc that some people may not have gotten before. How I incorporate that viewpoint into my enjoyment/rating of the arc still feels up to myself, which is great. Often I feel like some people with their "This arc is good and you have to like it" videos are trying too hard to force people to like it, even if they have valid points.
    Regarding the video: Fantastic job, as always. (btw I have been binge watching all your videos last week and wanted to thank you for your great effort and keeping me entertained while the manga is on break :))
    Doflamingo has been one if not my favourite character in the series since his introduction and a lot of that has to do with the points you mention in this analysis. I just always felt like he was the only person in the One Piece universe who understood how the world works. Like you mentioned, he seemed like the person in the shadows pulling the strings which lead the main story. This comes back in Dressrosa which shows us that basically his entire life was a replica of the major themes Oda has been going with his story/his main villain the world government. Compared to almost all other characters and villains, he always felt and certainly is just so much more multidimensional, which made me love him from the get go.
    Still, Dressrosa surely has its major flaws and I'm sure you also have your negative opinions on the arc. It had absolutely phenomenal highs, but pretty critical lows in my opinion, which is just a shame since it always made me unsure if I should like the arc or not lol. But nobody can deny that its importance for the overall story is crucial, which of course doesn't guarantee a great enjoyment while reading an arc, especially weekly.
    Now since this analysis didn't seem very opinion driven and more on the analytical side, I couldn't really tell how much you actually liked the arc overall. Which made me realize that I would love some kind of arc ranking by you. You seem to appreciate the One Piece arcs on more layers than just the basic "how cool is the villain, how sad is the backstory" level. I know rankings aren't your content at all but I'm really interested in your opinion on certain arcs and what makes you like/dislike them. Of course it doesn't have to be a video, I'm totally up for reading an essay or something like that :)
    I hope I didn't overwhelm you with my long ass comment, but I just wanted to write down some things that went through my head after watching the video and I just love talking about One Piece. Don't overwork yourself with your business and TH-cam and take all the time you need for your videos. It's absolutely worth it and I will gladly wait half a year or more for one of your spicy analyses :]

And by this difference, they deem their selves as superiors cos they "see" what most "failed to see". Or literally saying that others are "sucking 's ass" just bcos they don't give negative opinions. Then they complain that people are "denying" and "ignoring" their opinions? I mean, they're basically doing the same to positive ones.

    The speech Doffy had about him holding the reins keeping the monsters in check really set his importance in the One Piece world and possibly the only true warlord of the 7 warlords.
    Also his motives why he is so manipulative are well detailed
    His father took him from "heaven", without explaining why
    The regular citizens tried to kill him, without him knowing why

  • @blueeyednick
    @blueeyednick 5 ปีที่แล้ว +22

    Dressrosa was a pretty solid arc, people just wanna treat Oda like he is some robot. Slowing down the arc doesn't mean that he is not doing his best, it just means that this is the best that he could do in balancing the issues of the real world and the story.
    Oda is not in perfect health, so that would mean that he needs to keep his energy for the strong moments where it is required a great thought process and imagination.
    Imagine yourself writing this entire story, and having to do it while you are sick, AND put up with Shounen Jump's high standarts, AND deal with the complaints of the fans? Most of us would not be able to endure this. In fact, Oda is probably the only one who can achieve this somehow. And how does he do it? Well, breaks are one of the ways, but slowing down the arc a little is probably the other. This is like a fight to him. No one writes a manga without effort. Just as how Luffy never gets out clean out of his big fights.
    And don't think that Oda is not aware of what is happening, the man had in mind how One Piece will end since he first started the series 21 years ago, so why do you think that he is not aware of some small issues in pacing in a relatively medium long arc compared to what's to come in Wano and the final war at the end of the series.
    Yes, Oda being in bad health doesn't make the arc better but also does not validate the billion complaints every day of him.

    • @cogigo
      @cogigo 5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I think Dressrosas biggest problem is that Oda blows all his imaginary stuff (Dressrosa introduction, the toys, greenbit, colloseum and the factory) in the first 5 volumes. The second part has 3 of its 5 volumes of just shuffeling characters around and alot of fighting with only a bland city backdrop. And those fights werent even that good. Its not the pacing. The second half is just not as creative as the first half. (Laws flashback is great though)

    • @cogigo
      @cogigo 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      I reread Dressrosa last week and the first 5 volumes where alot of fun and I was asking myself why people dont like this arc. . . and then 4 volumes worth of birdcage happened. Take your time with rereading Dressrosa. Otherwise its second half will burn you out.

    13:46 The parallel between Doffy and Im-sama I SEE IT NOW. What a genius move of Oda, foreshadowing us the end of One Piece by the exposure of Imu-sama's regime only to be beaten by Luffy. I think/hope there's an actual deep connection between Doflamingo and Imu

    EDIT: really nice video but you didn't bring up one of the biggest themes in the arc that is to say the theme of "memory" which I found really interesting on a reread and would fit neatly into the point you were trying to make with this video like comparing how the world government and Dressrosa deal with making people forget about the past
