| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Kinemon is Doflamingo next episode :p |
| that One Legged Toy soldier real identity O.o !! |
 |
| Wow, I did not expect that plot twist at the end. |
| Did not expect him to be Kyros :o |
 |
| Wow so toy soldier is the legendary gladiator. Too bad it looks like he can't fight well as a toy though. |
 |
| Oh so that's who the toy soldier was. I was sorta feeling the twist coming after the flashback because Rebecca mentioned Kyros |
| Rebecca just got one-shotted... Ouch. She was outta her league in that arena. Usopp is finally gonna get motivated to do something. Can't wait for next episode to see Kinemon dressed as Doflamingo. |
| Massive respect to the toy soldier/Kyros in this episode! |
 |
| And all of Soldier's secrets are out of the bag. And Usopp....grrr, god I hate this part. |
 |
| thank god that one piece is still going strong, i hope it stays that way, the only one of the main three that did not suck exponentially :P |
 |
| and why for the love of god are they turning Robin into a worthless character ??!!!! in the time skip she trained with the revolutionary army !!!! so why are they not giving her good fights??!!! and tbh i don't care that mush about usop .... |
|
| Wait, people actually didn't expect him being Kyros? wtf... |
| End Zionazism |
| Wow great episode, even though it started very slowly.. This episode is a great example why I love One Piece so much |

| Pretty great episode, they just had to play that sad music when Leo was hurt but still full of passion. I don't know how the Toy Soldier/Kyros (unless that was a lie to the gullible little people) plans on taking out Doflamingo when he can't even touch the Quixote flunkies. Even if he get turned back into a human he's still only got one leg against a highly mobile opponent like Doffy. Oh well. The arena fight, the operation to take out Sugar, Zoro vs Pica, Luffy going after Doffy, Toy Soldier going after Doffy, Frankie vs the executives/Navy. I'm really excited to see what happens with everything, I'm loving this arc so far. |

| underwhelming episode.. just like 95% of the episodes since the time skip so tired of these annoying fairies and toys... |
 |
| It's annoying me how Usopp has continued to regress, after the time-skip i thought that he had put at least some of his cowardice behind him, now he is back to square one it's as if he didn't go through all of those battles and all of that training, I understand that is part of his nature and he will always have a cowardly side but at least for a few episodes after the time-skip he had seemed to mature from his early days. |

He didn't regress, becasue the whole scenario is diffrent. Pre skip he was fighting for his firends and comrades, here, it's random dwarves he met 30 minutes ago. Not to mention he ended up underground almost by accident. He has no goal in all of this and no friend he could made an effort for. |

If Luffy was there, he would be now a monkey toy, like Kyros and a lot of other strong characters. Robin saved Leo previously but she, neither Usopp, couldn't do anything now, after see Trebol throw a whole ship with one hand. |

But he always regresses after every arc, it's more of a running gag-ish thing than development. He always undergoes the same "courage mode" don't worry |
| End Zionazism |
| Lao-G! with G as in shaking GRANDPA! why didn't thought of this before? anyway just fucking die Leo. Annoying brat. It ticks me off the way he speaks. I'm very excited to see Kyros back to being a human. |
 |
| Man... When will usopp fight? Like I want him to fight because he's hying me up... Kyros doe xD |
| Boring episode, Was a little supprised when I thought the fairies were going to be burnt alive but then it just exploded and they were fine for the most part but I was hoping they would die or something just to make the show interesting. Rest of the episode was pointless, Just flashbacks and recaps of why everyone wants Don flamingo gone which seems to be repeated over and over again in every episode, One Piece please move on everyone knows their motivations it's time to finally progress the damn story. Oh and that so called "plot twist" at the end wasn't even a surprise, I figured the One legged Toy Soldier could only be one of two people; The King or Kyros and since they showed that the king entered the battle for the Devil fruit (Which seems like 3 episodes ago but really was like 30 episodes ago) I knew who he was all along. Now one more thing to complain about that others have been pointing out, I'm sick of Usopp as a character and Robin is no better in this Arc. Why are they being made to be so weak and useless when we all know how awesome they could be. I pointed this out in a past episode discussion but Usopp could have just shot the hot berry into that girls mouth, Now since her powers activate on touch I'm not sure how Robins hand power would work with that but since it isn't her real hand I'm sure she would be fine and in that case she could have held the girl while Usopp shot the berry into her mouth and problem solved since all the fighters who were turned into toys when they lost would all be back and ready to fight. Well anyway I can see that the story is clearly going to use Usopp to shoot the berry in a future episode but they could have resolved it much sooner. I know I complain a lot about this show but it isn't because I hate it, It's because I know for a fact it could be much better then it's current state. |
 |
| Robin should have thought this through a bit more. |
 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. |
| So why exactly did Trebol throw that massive ship? Lao G is a cool character, overall the Donquixote Pirates are just great. |
| Kyros. |
 |
| Waiting on Usopp to take responsibility and go through with the operation. |
| "Let Justice Be Done!" My Theme Fight again, fight again for justice! |
| Finally find out Toy Soldier's identity. No wonder he woops so much ass. |
 |
| kyros statue looks Cool |
 |
| Emotional ending... Kyros! Great episode! |
| Rebecca and the little people got fucking thrashed this episode. soldier got saved by the skin of his teeth. Uusop should probably atleast try to help soon. Sugar and trebol's back and forth is pretty comical. really liked that flashback with soldier and rebecca, i didn't see soldiers true identity coming though. this was a pretty good episode hopefully it continues like this. |
| So he's not a legend after all? He was really alive then? Where was he when Doflamingo came that night and blackmailed the last Royal Family? |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| Dem feels ;__; next up |
 |
| So the Toy Soldier is Kyros who is Rebecca's dad? Interdasting Plus Rebecca's 16? The only 16-year-olds I know who have bodies like her are liars! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Ooouuuu, that explains the statueeeee~ *O* 3000/3000 is awesome, mannnggggg. I actually thought Kyros was a legendary hero that died ahhah |
| The name of the Toy soldier is Kyros, the great Gladiator!!! Sad episode ;) |
| no way Rebecca is 16 wtf Japan Did not think Soldier-san actually had such a badass title when he was a human |
| Firstly, I want to touch on the similarities to Alabasta that this arc shares before going on to talk about this amazing episode. An obvious parallel is the overtaking of a kingdom through the background as Crocodile and Doflamingo both attempted, both of which ended up taking the king hostage and trying to ruin his image. Both of them have revolutionaries fighting back as major characters, and both are the culmination of smaller islands leading to the bigger island, featuring recurrent casts and recurrent villains. We have the Straw Hats all taking different initiatives in this battle and playing large parts in freeing the kingdom and the enemies even have similarities too. Machvise seemed to have a similar weight power to Miss Valentine, Gladius seems to have an exploding power of some kind like her partner did. Sugar is similar to Miss Goldenweek and her partner Trebol, who produces sticky slime somewhat like Galdino’s wax, should end up fighting in a team fight like those two did. Further, Zoro is facing the 2nd biggest threat of the enemy organization whose entire body consists of something difficult to deal with and in both cases he states “I will cut steel/stone”. I had also remarked earlier that Giolla was this evil artist who turned people into a wall of art which slowly killed them while preaching about how beautiful they would become, this is what Galdino did on Little Garden. Then we have some odd connections between Doflamingo and Crocodile to possibly pursue. The point of this is to say that it feels purposeful to me and I’m probably even forgetting some other great similarities between the two arcs. Anyways, onto the episode. Trebol’s attack may have been overkill but he sacrificed the tower to protect Sugar and it was a darn good call. It took everyone out and by the time Usopp came to by Robin’s side, the Tontatta were captured and interrogated to understand the soldier and Usoland’s role in all of this. To top it off, I thought Trebol was lying about the flammable goo to force Robin or Usopp’s hand thus revealing themselves but that wasn’t it at all, Trebol brutally disposed on the Tontatta after interrogating them. It made for a montage of all of the people sacrificing themselves for this cause, all the pain, sorrow, and hope involved. We saw Leo, the gullible Tontatta, refuse to fall for Usopp telling him that they must retreat. We saw his insistence on making sure their side of things succeeds because, if not, then they let the others down. We saw this same admirable commitment from soldier and his Tontatta, the one’s on the soldier’s side sacrificed themselves for him and the mission to take Doffy down. Both sides of this plan are necessary and both are resolved on winning this fight. Beyond that, we saw through the soldier’s eyes the pain everyone felt when the news that Doflamingo’s withdrawal was an error. As Rebecca said, “our hopes dropped from heaven to the edge of hell”. The slave gladiators, the enslaved Tontatta, the forgotten toys, the old king and his guards. Why this would be enough to ignite their fighting spirit once more is no surprise. Maybe it’s me understanding the soldier’s pain with Rebecca and vice versa, or seeing Riku and the kingdom get torn apart by Doflamingo in the most horrific way possible, maybe it was spending time with the enslaved gladiators or seeing the Tontatta’s will to die for their cause, or maybe it was seeing the toys who play the part or get thrown away. Or rather, perhaps it was everything coming together, but I have been totally sold on their cause, I was bawling my eyes out this episode like none before. Everything just clicked, and with that we finally got the reveal on Kyros. Kyros was thought to be a made up image that the gladiators made for a false sense of hope. Yet, the connection between the soldier, Riku, Rebecca, and Kyros has always been floating above us. Kyros being Riku did not make sense, but now, to tell us the soldier is Kyros, with Rebecca’s wistful gaze his statue earlier, all makes too much sense. However, it wasn’t only the people of Dressrosa I felt for and was rooting for, it was also Usopp. It hit me that Usopp still doesn’t see this as his fight. Perhaps if Robin wasn’t here to be the backbone of the duo he wouldn’t be so eager to show his cowardice. Yet to see Leo and the Tontatta face Trebol and Sugar knowing the risk when he was afraid to go near, to see Leo refuse to give up even after taking that explosion, and to hear their resolve as they fight for the man who has been fighting alone for a decade, for the toys, the kingdom and for Rebecca, Usopp has to open his eyes. This is the time a brave warrior of the sea would fight, a brave warrior of the sea would feel it necessary to carry the torch of these people sacrificing themselves for their freedom. And with Leo holding the spicy grape as if the torch itself to pass on, I’m getting the feeling that Usopp finally has to face this truth. That no matter how dangerous it is, no matter if this isn’t his battle, that if he doesn’t fight here then he’s not the man he wants to be. And that’s powerful. Lastly, the colosseum went a bit crazy, Bartolomeo has become Rebecca’s bodyguard after Diamante showed off the flagged club he had in a badge and bashed her head in. But more importantly, Diamante has brought up some serious details about Scarlet’s death and it reminded me that his face was one of the men pursuing Rebecca and Scarlet in the flashback. It’s definitely making it sound like he was the one who killed her or at the very least he was there when it happened. If so, it’s only right if Rebecca is the one to take him out. I also have to wonder if Sugar really just forgot to give Kyros a contract. It’s plausible, him being the first toy, but there could be something more there. It must have hurt for Rebecca to tell Kyros that he wasn’t her parent and “Kyros” wasn’t real. |
| That ending.... I am totally shook by that. Holy crap. |
 |
| I was hoping that Usopp would shoot that lighter before it lit up all those Tonttatas even if it meant giving away his location but at least the possibility of him shooting the grape into Sugar's mouth being the next course of action is higher than ever. I was able to up on Soldier being Kyros before the revelation itself thanks to how he reacted when Rebecca started her outburst in this episode and it was pretty satisfying to find out that it was indeed the case~ |
 |
| YO KYROS THAT WAS EPIC,, JSHD that would explain alot,, anyways ahhh im really disappointed with how Usopp is in this arc. I mean I get it when ure being a coward it s much cautious like in kuroku no basket (referring to that one benchwarmer) and sometimes it can be an advantage but cmon. he's fooled all these little ppl and now theyre placing all their trust on him and all he can say is "let s run" or what not.. sure he's giving them hope but he,, glad that he s finally getting some backbone tho so there s that (hoping to see some action from him like in the envies lobby arc) |
 |
| Commander Kyros for the win.... |
 |
| Kyros was the champion of Colosseum that's why Soldier-san was strong enough even in his toy form Usopp might be the one to take Sugar down |
| He’s Kyros it all makes sense that’s why know one remembers he existed and think that the statue is just for show |
