it ddoes hurt he is just being priddeful
Also "Joker" was mentioned back in Saboady as the person who owned the Slave Trading shop, so the human/mermaid trafficking business is also run by him
It was a bit different than that. The "Joker" alias was not mentioned until Punk Hazard. Back then we saw Disco talk to Doflamingo himself over den den mushi, and we found out Doflamingo owned that shop. When Disco asked him to save the shop he told Disco that he could have the shop, as he is not interested in the slave trade anymore, but in "smiles". It showed Doflamingo had underground connections, and excellently foreshadowed the reveal way later that he was the "Joker" person we first heard about in Punk Hazard who we knew was an infamous underground broker.
jack you should make a poll about your next anime after super.
I like the payoff for a plot point made way, way back right at the start, about pirate spies joining the navy. Back when Koby first wanted to join the navy.
He's finally here! This story won't stop unraveling for 400+ episodes, and it's fantastic
Kinemon does feel pain when cut up by law, he is just so stubborn he didn't want to admit it was painful so he just said it was itching instead.
here we go!
Oh, How deep does the rabbit hole go.... Strap in jack its only getting started.
So idk why the anime didn't display this, but in episode 599 when Smiley "transformed" the manga had an info box that said "Smiley Master's Pet (gel-form poison gas that ate the Sala-Sala fruit, Axolotl model)" which is why the SHs on the other side of the lake thought it was a frog/lizard
It's likely purposeful. It was probably just to keep the viewer in suspense of wtf smiley actually is, it's a twist they reveal at a later time in the anime instead of this episode. Personally, I think it works better being revealed later. I usually prefer mysteries being revealed later in an arc, and tbh Oda usually does it that way so it's not that weird of a change. It was not really necessary to reveal this to Jack ahead of time, the anime has it's own reveal moment.
Only gets better from here
