| senor past ... |
 |
| I love that Senor's ultimate attack made strategic use of his Devil Fruit against Franky's weak point. And Franky's ultimate attack was just to punch Senor. A lot. :P Senor's past felt a little rushed , but still pretty sad and touching. I would've never guessed that's the reason he started wearing a bonnet and diaper. Would've liked a few more scenes, would've spared us more annoying Tontattas and freaking why isn't he dead yet Bellamy... |
| That's not a manly fight. |
 |
| Franky wished he was as interesting as Senor. |
| at first I was like A backstory of Señor? he's irrelevant as hell! but after watching I'm like oh god what a beautiful backstory! |
 |
| Senor Pink's flashback is so good. I have that much more respect for him. What a character |
| Senor's backstory, so sad :/ No we know why he's got the baby bonnet on, and the "baby" look overall. Manly duel is great so far. |
 |
| If only I could cry I would have, the feels man. |
 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. |
| Knew it was coming but still loved it. Think I heard a new OST in there. |
| "Let Justice Be Done!" My Theme Fight again, fight again for justice! |
| Senor is the man!!! |
 |
| Every epic villain has a sad history. |
 |
| The feels were real this episode!!! I wanted to wait for the plot to progress a little more but gear 4th is animated so I guess now is a good time to catch up |
| Onei |
| The still the manliest fight, even manlier than the manga xD I feel bad for Senor, he deserved better He's not that evil too compared to others |
"Signature removed"   |
| I remember this as one of the highlights of this arc. Toei did a pretty good job, one of my favorite flashbacks in One Piece. Short, but great. |
 |
| Wow Senor Pink with a painful past |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Good episode and the backstory was also emotional |
 |
| O. So that's how he developed that awful get-up :0 |
| This is really a beautiful and tragic episode TwT Señor Pink is just awesome and a great character :3 Definitely one of my favorite Characters in Doflamingo Crew ^w^ |
"No matter what painful things happens, even when it looks like you'll lose... when no one else in the world believes in you... when you don't even believe in yourself... I will believe in you!" |
| Bit of random backstory but I suppose that explains why he dresses like a baby. |
 |
| One flashback is all it takes to turn a random slightly humorous enemy into something memorable. |
| I didn't even care about Senor Pink, but omigod I cried like a baby this episode. I'm both surprised and impressed by the amazing characterization and development of the villains this arc. First we get Doflamingo's screwed up backstory, then we had Baby 5 and to top it off we got Senor Pink's past too. For the first time in basically any arc so far, the villains don't feel like obstacles or cannon fodder to buy time. I'm also digging this whole "two sides of a coin approach" of Dressrosa as well. Doflamingo is a screwed up sadist, but he suffered hell as a kid. Afterwards, he was found by Trebol, who jumped at that evil potential he saw- just like Doffy does with Law. Unlike Law however, Doffy didn't have a figure like Corazon in his life and ultimately became the inhumane man he is at present. It just begs the question whether Doflamingo was destined to be evil no matter what...had it been him who was found by Sengoku instead of Corazon would he be at least a little less unhinged?? So sure, Senor went out killing people and is part of the Donquixote family...but he also had his own family. A child and a wife he loved and went home to...that's not something that's ever really been touched upon in One Piece up until now, and I'm glad of it. |

| Surprisingly good backstory I've changed my mind about Pink |
| When the backstory of a minor bad guy makes you cry... Only in One Piece... |
| By all means this episode was destined to be weakened for me. The amount of praise I hear for Senor Pink’s backstory is a lot of the praise I’ve heard for Dressrosa, meaning he’s been hyped up. I’ve seen pictures of him with a family and I knew it had to be sad. All of this should have made this episode more expected and less shocking and effective. But, it didn’t. I cried really hard. So, let’s get into that. Firstly, I find it charming that Senor Pink and Franky, out of respect and understanding of each other’s lifestyles, wanted to do the funniest thing ever, fight with their all and see who stands in the end. Neither of them dodged once, and this was a criticism I thought I had. Every look at Franky and Senor Pink was a joke and a few trading blows, I was waiting for the “real fight” to start. But, in retrospect, that was this entire fight. As hilarious as that is, the respect between the two was really pretty. In the stupidity of their actions was resolve and admirability. I liked the integrity both of them had, the fact that they made a deal that they were willing to accept everything the other had and not play dirty. In the end before the flashback when Franky rose from the dead, Senor Pink had already accepted his death and apologized to Young Master. Further, there were so many emotions and obligations floating around this scene. Early on, Franky declared both respect towards Senor Pink by refusing to dodge, but also empathy and passion for the Tontatta, refusing to ever allow them to become slaves again. He was betting on his manliness coming out on top for his own sake, for Pink’s sake, and for the Tontatta’s. Later after the immaculate baby buster, Senor Pink looked melancholic to me. He thought he killed Franky, he didn’t know if he would stand and it wasn’t a moment of victory. It was as if he had to do what he had to do and took down a great man, even a touch that he's sad he's the one that lived, he does carry a big burden on his shoulders. In this moment, the harem cheered through their ignorance, and the Tontatta cried as their saviour was mashed into the floor with his weak spot. There was respect, there was passion, there was melancholy, there was sadness, there was celebration, but in this battle there was no hatred or anger. Franky even smiled to tell Senor Pink he was willing to gamble his life on taking his final attack. And there’s likewise respect in the fact that neither held back. All of this was great, and I teared up twice actually, one was at Pink’s apology to Doffy, but the first time was when Senor Pink was carrying Franky off the tower. He gave a tragically beautiful line that sent shivers through my body: If I can keep flying upwards, I can see Russian… I have a son named Gimlet, too. But unfortunately, gravity persists, I can’t keep flying. I first interpreted it as him saying he would see Russia, in which I had to ask, Russia isn’t in the One Piece universe, meaning it had to be a name. Then I thought he may see Russian and Gimlet if he flew high enough that he could see into the distance. But that was obviously not the intention, when it became clear a second later that he meant heaven, I shook physically. It's a line that placed such an outlandish character instantly into the world of human vulnerability. There is an immense sadness in Senor Pink, a desire to see his loved one’s again which makes me think he actually wants to die, that he wants to lose to Franky and by giving his all and truly losing, he can accept falling and losing Doflamingo his factory. He is hard boiled after all, he never gave up.The way the scene transitioned from the rain of punches in the present to the rain of his past, denoting the fact that every time it rains he must think about what he lost, was shockingly pretty and it was natural. He fell in love with a woman named Russian and he was never honest with her that he was a pirate. He didn’t want to lose her. But this backfired because it was when their baby died as he was away that she panicked and needed him and called the bank, only to learn he never worked there to begin with. Bitter and hurt she ran and was hit in a freaking mudslide, paralyzed in a vegetative state. And Pink blamed himself for this, his stubbornness, his inability to tell her the truth, his selfishness, that is how he rationalized all the events that went down. But he sincerely loved her, he went to Russian’s side every day trying to hear her voice one more time, trying to make her smile one more time, which is why the hard boiled mafioso put on the same baby bonnet his lost baby wore. The smile of Russian’s with her hollow eyes was a happy moment but one built into the horrific sadness that literally stares us in the face. The sadness that this all happened. Never doubt Oda’s ability to make us cry. Be it to a dog, to a whale, to a ship, or to a mafioso in a baby outfit. I feel that Senor Pink is a perfect example of the crazy characters Oda can write and the incredible amount of heart that can go into them. Other things to note, the art was suuuper awesome this episode, I loved the shading. And I suppose we should mention Mansherry was key to Doflamingo’s plan but he never got the call that she escaped. He thought even if he lost the factory her ability to “restore things in return for shortening her life” may have been able to salvage it according to Giolla. Seeing the similar but different Hancock-Luffy dynamic with Leo and Mansherry was cute as we got to understand exactly why Leo called the princess such bad things in his naivety, but obviously this was all overshadowed. |

| I didn't expect this. Senor Baby actually had a compelling backstory and this was probably why he became "hard-boiled". |
awww why does the doflamingo family's backstory's have to all be so tragic. these backstory's are some of the best in this show so far im really enjoying watching how these people became who they are.  |
| I'm frankly surprised that Señor and Franky was finally able to give an exciting fight even though it's still more or less the same as it's always been but with things being cranked up to 11! So that's why Señor Pink's get-up is like that... One little white lie was enough to ruin this man's life when he least expected it and the whole thing's painful as fuck. |
 |
| That girl was cute , they got to put more cute girls But she had such a creepy smile at the end O〰O |
Loli world is just a cute world full of cute meat |
| Man... I cried seeing Senor Pink's backstory. I love him even tho he's a bad guy. |
 |
| Too much of a manly fight this was |
| Who left all of these onions under my nose? I'm not a man who sheds tears, but I'll savor the aroma and.... Damn, that really got me though. That was one of the best setups from silly to serious I've seen. Senor Pink, the man who dons the goofiest ass look in honor of his son & wife's last smile. SUUUUPER HARD BOILED! |
 |
| At first I thought he was just another goofy looking dude apart of the Doflamingo family then slowly we started to see his character and he’s a good dude at hart but after seeing Senor’s backstory you have to respect him and now we know the sad reason of why he wears that outfit |
 |
| I didn't expect backstory from Señor. So that's why Señor dress like a baby. 😭 Ngl the backstory hits me hard Oda sensei, you freaking genius of storytelling. SO HARD-BOILED!! |
 |
| Didn't expect that we would get a backstory of Senor pink, anyway, great backstory!! |

| i want senor pink to join the crew .Always felt good vibes from him.So hardboiled ~ |
| Bro Oda does NOT need to be giving these side characters tragic backstories. Why is he cooking so hard? |

| The Senor backstory really hit hard. I think it should've been pushed for next episode though since there was clearly key material eading up to it with Giolla crawling to the snail and calling out for Senor to protet the factory, but it needed an entire episode dedicated to it. If the entire first half of next episode (despite the preview) doesn't finish up the backstory and the manly fight, then the impact will be lost. As much as I am eager to see Kyros go all out against Diamante, I want to see all the fights conluded properly over cutting back and forth too much. |
 |
| Did not expect such a deep back story for senior pink or even one at all. But to know he dresses and acts like a baby for his wife is wild. I been clowning on him all arc and feel bad. Hope Franky does not do too much damage on him and he survives and turns good. It seems like all the executives are taken out except the top 3 now. We getting close to endgame |
