DOFFY TAKING HOSTAGES?! - One Piece Episode 731 + 732 REACTION + REVIEW!

[@Illjwamh]

I love Fujitora here. "I can't see who you are." Then telling his marines, "Help these unknown people." Some real Dumbledore vibes

[@Daelyas]

The Kuja were all using Haki on weapons as well - even the less strong warriors. Its just a "now YOU the viewer can see it" thing - for now! No need to overexplain at this point.

[@manuelvfc6254]

Exactly, using weapons with haki is not that rare (especially in the new world)

[@thenameless422]

And it's okay for enemies to be able to use the same technique otherwise we can't realistically believe they could even act as decent enemies/obstacles for our crew. It's not like knowing how to do it would make Zoro's less impressive. He just cut a mountain in half and a stone-man who's coated in armament from hair to toes with a single technique. Those marine captains could only dream of one shotting a Donquixote executive.

[@Daelyas]

[@Gopal__S]

It's not like Zoro was the first. It's just the first time one piece actually decided to show the black on weapons haki. Haki is invisible, the black is for us. They just saved showing the black for a cool Zoro moment but then they still gotta show other people using it later. There should be marines that are able to use it especially since they're new world marines. And notice afterwards they said those who can't go use haki, go to the factory, so it seems like a pretty good ratio to me.

[@94tsume]

No, "koka" or "black Haki" is not invisible to people, it is really black otherwise no one would see "shusui" or "kokuto Yoru" (mihawk's sword) in black! When Luffy makes his first "Elephant Gun" against the Kraken, the mugiwaras see Luffy's fist turn black.

[@samgreenblatt7074]

@@94tsume A sword becoming a "black blade" is different from a sword just being regularly coated in Haki, because the latter is permanent. For example: Ryuma's long dead, but his sword's still black even though he shouldn't have any Haki anymore. As for the elephant gun, I forget if that's a thing in the anime, but I can say pretty confidently nobody says anything about it in the manga, and the manga's always more canon than the anime.

[@Gopal__S]

@@94tsume a sword becoming a black blade is more than just haki. That's completely different. We've seen proof already with all the Kuja and people at marineford using haki on their weapons and it was invisible. And when luffy did his elephant gun on the kraken the strawhats did not see the black.

[@khensane5150]

Fun fact: A fan once asked Oda, during an SBS, why Viola and Doflamingo called each other "Viola" and "Doffy". Oda replied that it was a deep secret, which couldn't be told, because it belongs to an adult part of the story. "Viola", apart from being the name of some flower, means two things in Portuguese (we know that Oda likes to use different languages in his characters' names) "guitar" and "to rape". Is this the secret itself? Maybe Doffy did something to Viola and they grew some kind of affection for each other afterwards. 💀

[@Armela17]

And I only through it was because doffy and viola was their respective nickname in the family 💀

[@khensane5150]

​@@Armela17oh bro, it spawned a lot of theories in the community 💀💀

[@riduanaqil1452]

I don't think there's any affection going around. Violet would hate it and Doffy's sick nature would love to call her that

[@Rutabega_NG]

I would bet it was more survival than actual affection.

[@darkness_hound1375]

It also means that in spanish, and since several names in Dressrosa are also spanish words, that probably makes the chose even more likely to have been done on purpose

[@sassam523]

Haki is a mysterious power that allows individuals to harness their own spiritual energy for various superhuman feats. As this energy manifests from willpower, it is theoretically open to all of the world's living creatures; the vast majority, however, are either ignorant or unable to achieve mastery. Haki users are common in the New World, rare in Paradise, and virtually non-existent in the Four Blues. Being able to use Haki don't make you that strong... but having a strong willpower and being able to use haki makes you a beast.

[@RaffiPrima23]

Thats how good of a leader Akainu is. In sengoku era only vice admiral and above can use it. In Akainu era it extend from a captain and above.

[@ProudlyGamer]

For a Marine to be promoted to a Officer class (when they are allowed to wear that cape thingy) they are required to be able to use Haki (armenment and Observation only obviously). Also the entirety of Dressrose (barring post) takes place within 1 in world day. On a second note Dressrosa, and the following arcs, are arcs that are meant to be binch read/watched due to it's lenght and pacing. Dressrosa when it came out was ranked quite low, but on rereading/rewatching it's one of the better arcs in One Piece.

[@Dragoux]

The reason they can't use sea prism is because it's very rare and comes from a certain place. There's an arc in the future that will explore that

[@Dragoux]

Also, everyone has Haki. Every vice admiral has haki which got confirmed at the end of Marineford so it's not that weird to think lower-ranking marines also have it, we're in the New World after all. As for the reason they never used it before; The point of us seeing Zoro coat his swords with armament was that it would introduce us to "black blades". We've never seen them use it because it was never visible to us, the watchers/readers! For example, Marineford, Marineford is filled with Haki users but we never see it, not including conq. During Marineford we see grunts in the Whitebeard pirates take down some pacifista's, keep in mind that these pirates were from the New World, we can therefore assume the marines stationed in the New World are also relatively powerful. The marine guy also said "Those of you who can use it", so not absolutely everyone can use it. Just keep these things in mind.

[@adelin5502]

This is the new world, haki is a common thing and applying it to a weapon is not hard once you have armament (every Kuja warrior had haki on their arrows)

[@darkness_hound1375]

I love Gyats. People never remember him, but he is so great and has some huge balls for everything he's done in this final episodes provided he is just a normal guy

[@lawrencebarfield6424]

They told yall back when Coby got his Haki that everyone vice admiral and up were using haki. All the Kuja pirates use haki on their arrows. The show is just giving a visual now that the crew has unlocked it also and we know what it is.

[@erceas1692]

I never noticed that senbonzakura tattoo on Prez's arm until now... Looks cool!

[@TGLReacts]

Appreciate it!

[@thatrandom_canadian]

The random marines having haki isn't all that unusual if you think about it. They're stationed in the most dangerous half of the Grand Line and their job is fighting and arresting the pirates that managed to get there or live there, you're not going to just get by on push-ups and high morale.

[@michelemannocchi4067]

Gyats is a "G"

[@rizaadont]

My bro gyatt actively dissing doffy😭

[@LeviOaken]

The black weapons is just a visualisation for us viewers, when haki is being used, now that haki has been explained a bit more in detail

[@josephdavis9234]

Yesterday was 19 June, birthday of Babe (aka Mr 4), Elizabeth (one of the beautiful ladies that Sanji spent two years with), and Rokkaku (one of the Marines who works for Ripper).

[@striker5044]

I guess talked forgot after they said 60 sec the strings stopped and after that they also said it slowed down so you have to add on more time to that 60sec limit 🤭🤭🤭

[@ricorichardson5945]

Haki was invisible to the audience until the crew knew about it. It's really that simple. Oda wanted to make sure it was illustrated from the point so the audience actually could recognize it, it's been a thing (whether retcon or not) since Mihawks sword was shown. (Atleast coating a weapon)

[@trollmaster6994]

There is reson why those randoms can also use Armament on swords but it falls into "potencial spoiler" category.

[@allanLJoseph]

Remember you’re in the new world now. Completely different level of pirates and marines. Haki is prevalent in these waters. Hence the training “arc” beforehand. Another note. The main reason you didn’t see mich of it at marineford was because your watching it from luffys perspective and he hadn’t figured it out yet.

[@lixogram]

Love your reactions. I sometimes feel like there is a lot of "How many eps we getting", "they gonna drag this"... I know the Pacing is not great but I hope you try to just enjoy the moments more...

[@moneilwisby61]

Zoro's such a trend-setter, lol.

[@mezias00]

There is fire between Viola and Doffy xD

[@blakeprice5540]

The entire island of amazon lily the kuja can use haki and so can thousands of marines and many pirates etc, dont get hung up on everyone using it because anyone can train haki, the difference is how strong each person's haki is, obviously a marine captain and zoros haki are massively different

[@KadurOrdo]

Wait. Couldnt Law just Room everyone outside the birdcage now that it became so small? 👀

[@BoneAP]

Ofcourse many of navy can use 2 basic haki (armament & observation) but as zoro said it is different strong depends on who use it

[@rRekko]

How can you hate Doffy? As a villain yes? But "he has a reason to be like this" yeah sorry man, Mingo sold slaves, drugs, fake fruits you'll see later on, he killed thousands of people and enslaved an entire country, had his henchmen destroy entire cities. Dude's a major douche, the scum of the scum at the bottom of the barrel. There's no justification to his actions, he killed his own father and brother. Great villain tho, completely unhinged and a tiny bit of nuance and character besides his entire persona of pure evil who wants to destroy the world, yeah that overused trope.

[@Xeno_Solarus]

Absolutely not an overused trope. Maybe at one point, but not anymore. The "sympathetic villain" is far more tropey nowadays.

[@temporal_paradox]

Law didn't say he would heal him, he said he would take care of him from here. Also I think Doffi and Viola here is the first time a sexual relationship has been implied in the series.

[@et_big32]

10:13 never pause one piece moment

[@rayen8496]

Even tho this arc is very long , noone can say that these arent bangers

[@idnsomnia]

😂

[@KadurOrdo]

*giggles in Wano*

[@Rutabega_NG]

Nope, people was using haki on weapons before Zoro. It wasn't until we knew what haki was that we could see it. That's the difference, not that they're using it but that we can now see it.

[@deltaphi13]

Welcome to The New World where fodder can use haki

[@whatislife7363]

Sea prism stone is quite rare that why they don't put them in bullets.

[@sorakyosuke5634]

If those guy shift Haki into their sword .. i am out Nex moment... OK im out

[@Pandanitis]

I've also asked the sea prism bullet question so many times but the typical excuse is that it's "difficult to work with with sea-prism stone" acting like Vegapunk doesn't exist

[@SoraToshiAki]

Vegapunk, as you will know, have many other things to do. He can't keep up with new ideas. Things like sea prism bullets will just waste his time and energy, hence it's not worth it for him. He won't even try to go that direction. Hence, only way to get them is going to that country where it's made, which is closed off for the rest of the world.

[@MrRourk]

It is supposed to be difficult to mine sea prism stone. Almost all of it comes from a non aligned country.

[@johnnylight0]

I will say, if you guys start counting seconds going forward, you're not gonna have a very good time

[@dng_7511]

Yo

[@Orbitalbomb]

Do flamingo has the right to do this? So Corazón is a complete fail?

[@AP-RSI]

Toie really squeezed out every damn second to stretch the whole arc beyond the extreme... the pacing just sucked!

[@dripsoup6639]

Just imagine how good the One Piece remake could be without all the padding and pacing issues.

[@AP-RSI]

Woke shit

[@Daelyas]

IF it ever gets as far as DR even and IF its not the opposite problem many modern anime have of skipping way to much material and also IF they dont overuse CG as most modern anime do... if all those IF can be avoided, then yes... it COULD be good and possibly even better. Im not saying its not possible, but I will not pretend I have no such concerns.

[@dripsoup6639]

@@Daelyas Obviously there are concerns, that's why I said "could be," not "will be." I'm not just going in with blind faith saying it'll be the best anime ever, but I'm also not being needlessly pessimistic about it like you seem to be. There are a lot of really well made modern anime that don't have the issues you've pointed out, so I don't see the point in hating it before it even comes out.

[@Daelyas]

@@dripsoup6639 Ive just been burned many times in recent years by sub par remakes. Dont worry about it. And I agree with the no point in hating before its out.
