Wonderfully analyzed... hoping Doffy and Luffy meet again in the story and maybe fight together against a common foe like how Luffy and Crocodile did in Paramount War arc.
“Pirates are evil the navy is just, but that’s only true because history tells us so. Children who’ve never known peace have different values than children who’ve never known war.” When doflomingo said this at marine ford this probably one of the realest quotes out of one peace
That quote truly solidified his character. It summarises him quite well. It's that level of moral relativity and ambiguity that makes him one of my favourite OP characters, because he could've just as well have been a marine like Akainu or justice seeking vigilante like Dragon if his life had been different. Ironically the way life's realities hit him, it didn't ground him, but rather it blew his ambitions out of proportion which inflated his flamboyant persona. It's so real, yet fantastical at the same time, and that's why I love Doffy, just like the Joker.
Yeah it really hit home because of course this happens in the real world as well. People are taught that people are bad and others are good just off of status. You can be a person who is something like a doctor and everybody thinks your this perfect person but you can be using this to experiment on people. But as something like a gang member who helps people out of their situation. Just because you are called a gang then you are a bad person who kills and does nothing but harm
Justice will prevail? Sure it will! Whoever prevails is justice! - Oda summing up human history, conflict and the malleability of the concept of "good vs evil" in one single, stunning quote. The most real One Piece has ever gotten to the twisted nature of our actual world.
Another interesting point is that when Luffy defeats Crocodile he is sent flying and ends up being exposed to everyone, but Doflamingo was send down as if he was being taken down from the throne he saw himself in.
Chuckstrong GTX Luffy used a barrage of punches for Crocodile. While for Doglamingo it was a Giant fist that sent him down from the heaven. Not my comment saw it from another person.
oluwafemi lawal Sometimes, like when people think Carrot is joining the crew. But this isn’t a reach by any means. Check out Oda’s breakdown of why Enel “lost”, despite being admiral level. Enel’s god complex being shattered, causing him to just leave. Oda is on point with symbolism, not to mention other writing techniques. This would be one of the clear, or more simple. I suggest you take some writing classes, or watch some interviews/ reach out to a friend who is interested in becoming an author/writer. As a couple other examples : Look up David Foster Wallace, or Mad Max Fury Road ~ The Phoenix.
In fact, flamingos have 3 toes, just like the 3 hooves from the Celestial Dragon mark. Also Doflamingo always does that 3 finger salute thingie. Doffy always subliminally injects into your head that he is a Celestial Dragon and its over all of humanity.
@@ero-senninsama1734 They should have let him come back then. Would be good for pr. I mean....I at least wouldn't mind serving the Celestial Flamingos.
@@ero-senninsama1734 I meant the Tenryuubito should have let him join them again when he took his fathers head and be renamed the Celestial Flamingos since there's so much shared symbology. People in the One Piece world would love that! (Maybe?)
In my opinion since sunglasses block sunlight, which is bright and warm, Oda uses that as a metaphor to simbolize Doflamingo can't see a ray of hope and is in despair and in the inside he is so cold meaning he lacks humanity and empathy. Now to watch the video!
@UA-cam Account And so far the only Tenryubito "reedemed" was the one Shirahoshi's mother saved back in FI was from the Donquixote family too just like Doffy's Dad and brother which were good people. Maybe If Doffy ever comes back in the plot he might ally/aid temporarily Luffy in a big end of story war.
I like this. In addition they’re red after the events of his childhood, as if he can only view the world through a lens of anger, a distorted and darkened view of everything
I don't think it is quite like that. See, Doflamingo is one of the most cynical characters in the series. He has seen and experienced the horrors of the world first hand, so he cannot possibly see it through rose tinted glasses. I believe his glasses are meant to be tinted in red: blood, if you will. He traded his rose tinted glasses from when he was a celestial dragon in for a life where everything he sees is anger and violence.
@@ferinferno4224 what i mean is that how the celestial dragons see the world like everything is theirs and everyone should obey them. The glasses symbolises that view. When worn by a man (doffy) he also sees the world that way.
@@mrpk646 I'm still so bothered by Mihawk and Imu having the same eye pattern. Not in a bad way it's just one of those visual things that leave ya worried kind of thing ya know?
@@colindavis7197 It's very common to find that eye pattern in OP. Even luffy's eyes change into the Hawkeye pattern when he is serious. Check the manga panels yourself.
@@De1tAStreaM idk man that eye pattern in particular that Imu and Mihawk have is different. I've never once looked at a serious Luffy and though he has the same eye pattern as those two.
@@De1tAStreaM nah, those eyes are just white and black and aren't that concentric Mihawk's, Im's and the "hybrid" Cavendish-Hakuba are much different from that, also not being white but colored in yellow/red
He is by far Oda's using his own literature strengths at their finest. He used what he's best at, manipulating the length of his manga to create a always underlying villain and setting them up so soon. Doffy has existed as a villain since Bellamy and was always presented as a threat. He appeared every now and again making everyone know he existed by only at dressrosa is where we learned hoe truly terrifying he is. He is a absolute masterpiece on the like of Dio, Aizen, Madara, and even Handy boi from MHA.
@@brendanl1108 I never said Dio was the best, but for the purposes of his story he is a masterpiece alikened to Doffy, Madara, and Shigaraki. He feels the role and a built up antagonist that reappears throughout the story, a looming threat that took the entire story to build up. In my opinion the best Villain in Jojo is either Touru or David Bowie but, in terms of raw build up and underlying villainy in their respective stories, Dio tops all of his competitors in his universe.
I love this channel, at my University I'm the students representative on the interaction design bs. And to my narratives teacher I recommend this channel because seriously it is great! Keep up the great work!
@@sathwaraxlux Makes perfect sense in my eyes? Do u need to go back to English Class? His name is literally a direct reference to his character or the other way round.
12:40 He sort of reminds me of Sabo in that sense. The two even looked quite alike when they were younger. I think it's not a coincidence that Oda reintroduced Luffy's brother in the story during the Dressrosa Arc
Yeah, doflamingo is proud of being the son of celestial dragons even though his parents wanted to live normal life. While Sabo on the other hand, he wants to live a normal life despite being the son of nobles who are proud.
Donquixote Dofflamingo is one of my absolute favorite characters in one piece. He was born a normal man, but was slowly corrupted over time into an absolute monster.
Wisdom Manari' Was he tho? He didn’t really change much from his childhood to now. He was raised to be thought better than everyone else, and he still believes that to this day? When they ”stopped” being celestials he still held same beliefs as always. Only thing that changed was that he got a bit madder. Surely he was always a monster? Hes still my fave character... after BB ps: I accidently closed our dc dm and cant type to you there now😭
As someone who despises and disagrees with the "born evil" trope, I may have an explanation for Doflamingo's character as a child that avoids that trope entirely. People are created unequal; that's simply a fact. Some people are more easily influenced than others. Some people aren't necessarily born evil but are more susceptible to corruption than others. Doflamingo absorbed the lifestyle and teachings of his fellow nobles more than that of his parents. The complete opposite of his brother, Rosinante. As a result, his morals as a kid were very questionable. And then the tragedies of his life took place, and one event, in particular, is what I believe pushed him over the edge- the death of his mother. And then, after murdering his father and coming under the influence of the other Donquixote pirates, he gave in to pure evil, eradicating the last semblance of humanity left in him.
Doffy and corazon reminds me of a story i herd when i was in rehab... about two brothers who had a drunk dad one brother turned out to be an alcoholic and another a respectable man in the society and when they were asked how or what made them the person they are now, they both replied its bcus their father was drunk all the time. Which the moral of that story was that the only thing that was different between the two brothers was their attitude to their situation. Not sure if this adds anything to the topic but yeah lol
But that's not true at all. You forget that there are many different factors that shape your life, including whether or not you have siblings or if you are the older or younger sibling. Even if you are siamese twins, you'll never experience life exactly the same, and therefore it's not just about "attitude". Believing that "attitude" is all there is to it is naive at best. It's akin to thinking that homeless people are on the street because they chose it, and no other factors play a part, when in reality we don't even know if truly free will exist on any level.
@@Zeverinsen your missing the point.. they both had the same circumstances and the only difference is their attitude towards thier situation.. well im not saying only attitude is way that helps but it is definitely the first step.. if you cant change the way u think u cnat change urself to make good changes.
I'm not sure if such a story exists but yes How we react to our circumstances is entirely based on our attitude which is a natural form of yourself but not pristine Cause attitude has a way of changing over time due to change in circumstances but what Doffy lived through was something more darker Doffy hated their parents cause of what happened Corazon hated just the fact but didn't so at the people or his family He understood things just happen but Doffy so Intoxicated with the very idea of being above all blinded him from being a human in the first place which he hates since he wants to be something above everyone else
He's gonna break out some how for sure he's really important to kaido along side Caesar when he got captured and he was on the ship in his cell we heard him potting on what's to come.🦩
omgitsjavi, I’m pretty Oda would only bring back Doflamgino in the story in the final war or the events before the final epilogue is unless Black Beard breaks in and out Impel Down again and frees even more prisoners from Impel Down as well as destroying Impel Down for good, so that way characters like Dragon, Smoker, and Koby will not only rebuild a better World Government structure, but they’d rebuild new and better government facilities than facilities like MarnieFord, Impel Down, and Enies Lobby.
Also flamingos have very distinct pink color, which makes them stand out among other birds. This kind of mirrors Doflamingo's perception of himself as the special one, the GOD in this sense.
@linlinö önilnil , if Doflamgino was the strongest Celestial Dragon that you claim he is then why did he loose to pre-udon Luffy in Dressrosa whenever post-udon Luffy is the Luffy that became as powerful if not more powerful than a Yonko.
Plaese do a villain analysis on Crocodile or Moria! I know many fans dislike the latter but Oda gave us a lot of psychological material for him, especially in chapter 925.
Doflamingo is actually the glasses controlling a human and using his body as its own, the proof is that no matter how many times doflamingo got hit by law and luffy he didn't get knocked down until luffy broke his glasses note: i'm joking don't take it seriously
I think the only thing missing is examining the relevance of his last name Donquixote and the relevance to the old spanish novel and if the themes of imagined vs reality has more to do with his father or doflamingo himself
The eyes are the reflection of the soul. When they were kids, we never saw Doflamingo's eyes because et wore glasses, and we never saw Rossinante's eyes because of his hair. But once grown, Doflamingo kept wearing glasses and Rossinante stopped covering his eyes with his hair. I don't know what to make of that but I'm sure there's a meaning behind this.
its a subtle but nice touch that in the grand line doflamingo wore his coat like a pirate (arms in sleeve) but in the new world he wore his coat like a marine (coat over shoulders). i think this symbolizes his status and possibly that his "pirate" self was just an exotic persona he flaunts to the world for attention while his real self is obsessed with order and control like the marines.
I think what makes Doffy so great is because he is the final draft of what Oda wanted in an evil self obsessed villain. Fishman Island, Punk Hazard, and dressrosa all have similar stories. Mad man takes over island and enslaves its people so he can impose his ideology upon them. When things don't go their way they decide to wipe out all life and start again somewhere else. However Doffy isn't a cliche like Hody Jones who is honestly boring, while also having an actual reason for feeling the way he does unlike Ceasar who is evil for evil sakes. Not to mention you actually care what happens in the end and to the people involved. I wasn't invested at all in the people when Noah was about to fall on them. I didn't care when the gas was covering people up in "stone". However I was upset and saddened by the residents of Dressrosa being forced to kill each other, turned into toys and forgotten, and then to finally be trapped in a cage that would slowly destroy everything they have ever known before killing every last one of them. Doflamingo, his "family", and the world building of Dressrosa was done so beautifully because it learned from the failures of the past two arc and villains and perfected the message that Oda wanted to tell.
Absolutely, Doflamingo was a true success compared to Hordy and Caesar (mostly Hordy imo as he was so fucking boring, but atleast Caesar was fun to watch lmao)
Oda once said that the reason Doffy wears glasses has to do with the OnePiece and/or the void century, namely they reveal something crucial about them. So the nature and form of his eyes are going to be really important later on.
What if Doffy was blind just like Fujitora, but didn't want anyone to know that and hence, compensated by wearing the shades while 'seeing' everything through observation haki. For instance, Doffy never speaks of any colours whatsoever, or reacts to brightness or darkness at any level. May be he lost his eyesight on that fateful night when his family was lynched by the crazy mob...
@@mayaparamita2254 do you mean to say that a visually challenged person would not be wearing shades ? There is no possibility of him doing so, for any reason, including the ones discussed ?
There's a scene at the beginning of dressrosa when luffy first meets fujitora that I think is connected to doflamingo's love for glasses. Fujitora tells luffy that he blinded himself so that he didn't have to see the darkness and corruption of the world. In much the same way I think doflamingo wears sunglasses so he doesn't have to see the light of the world. Always love the videos Ohara, you do amazing analysis!
After watching this, it made me realise why Doflamingo takes the name of Joker, when you play most card games, you always remove the jokers from the deck, so the Joker had to be removed for the real game to begin, thus in the One piece world, the openning moves to becoming the Pirate king, Kiddo move, team up with Big Mom, Luffy's move, gathering allies, Shanks's move to talk to the elders of the world Nobles, the nobles of the world move to remove the Warlord system, thus the game is afoot, who will become the next Pirate King or ruler of the seas and what will they do with that place, the only player whose has yet to make a known move is Black Bread, the Revoluationies made a move at the gathering of the kings, thus its Black bread's turn, what move will he make?
I don’t know if anybody has told you this, but you’re in my top 5 favorite one piece you tubers. Just the breakdown videos you do on whatever character you decided too. The passion in the video and just a bonus your accent makes your videos feel more sophisticated. You’re a total Goat Ohara thank you again for another video 🙏🏽

@@wedding2710 Actually posted this before ever watching that video lol. But I watch a lot of One Piece and Mr. Morj content so my thoughts are definitely influenced by him
I've always had the feeling he only had one eye left, cause in his flashback I had the impression that an arrow was shot in one of his eyes (I believe we see his glasses shatter), I felt like he was hiding the scar with his shades + we never clearly see his face without it. It's just a thought though, not sure about it, nor what it would symbolize
Wow, you actually managed to make a very compelling case for Doflamingo's sunglasses without it sounding like headcanon. Amazing video! Do you think his still wearing of the sunglasses at Impel Down means he's too far gone into his own flaws to find himself as a person?
One of the greatest antagonist I've ever seen. Actually, giving Doffy the Ito Ito no mi was beyond than a great writing skill from Oda, because it puts in a nutshell who Doflamingo truly is. He is the one behind the strings but he was also manipulated by : his ego, the dirty society where he was born and finally, by Trebol and his friends. His "family" was nothing but a joke. In some ways, it reminds me of Rui from Demon Slayers, who was looking for a family but he didn't know the meaning of a family. Doflamingo knew it in some ways but was blind, and he hasn't seen nothing. He probably was looking for some "respect" and "love", and according to this character, the word "family" seems to be the group of persons who can give him everything he wants (and to whom he can give everything). So yes, he thinks that Trebol, Diamante, Pica and Vergo gave him what he wanted, so they are part of his family. But the other way is not true : they used this child to become more powerful. Doflamingo is both a victim and a criminal, he inherates the Celestial Dragon system, so he feels that he was superior, but was weak at the same time, because he didn't see that he only was a puppet in the hands of his friends. I've written an analysis for this character, explaining why Doflamingo is one of the most important antagonist in One Piece (if not the most important just behind Blackbeard) : his appearance, his backstory, his personnality, his powers, his crew, his symbolism, and his role in the plot. I truly love this character, easily in my top 3. By the way, what a great video ! You did a really good job !
Don't know why but everytime I watch anything about doflamingo it hits my heart.Its very relatable to people like us who comes from this unjusticed society,where powerful people does anything they want and even if its bad,it becomes good but weak people suffer.And due to this nature,weak people also wants to be powerful.and the name justice and good lost in this cruel society.Many people are made to be bad and evil selfish ones by the society and by people living around them.
Doffy's an instant fave for me when I watched One Piece. Thank you for this deep analysis. He is a tragic character. I hope Oda redeems his character like Crocodile, by helping Luffy burn down Mariejois or somethin so he can get some revenge as well.
What I always found super interesting is that despite wanting to become immortal Dofy never went after Law in all the years since Minion. He said he wanted to educate him to die for him yet despite all his influence and might he never confronted Law himself.
This is really insightful. We've all read the same story but somehow you make it seem like I only looked at the art. Quality videos about one piece is what we need more of. Props to you my guy.
I myself have thought a lot about the character of Doflamingo. It tells you how well this character has been created. You really start to wonder why he's so bad. What is the ultimate reason why he is what he is today and it makes you feel sorry for him. A really great character (one of the best in One Piece) and hopefully we’ll see him even more in the future. Thanks for the great video❤
5:30 woulda been excellent If you dropped the fact that Sengoku was Rosinate’s surrogate father after Homing died after Doffy getting Trebol. In your opinion if the fathers were reversed do you think that Doffy would of turned out differently? I think it might be interesting if Doffy shared those secrets with Sengoku and that had an influence with SWORD
Great Analysis !!! But the contrast between Fujitora (blind) and Doflamingo (sunglasses) is missing. Why is Doflamingo wearing a Kabbalah wristband on the right Arm => attracting evil => Evil Eye ??? I believe there is more deeper context in Doflamingos Sunglasses :)
I think you can go a different way with the name flamingo. Flamingo thrive in lakes where the water is so salty that it kills anything it touches only the legs of the flamingo can withstand it. So a flamingo stands protected by it's surroundings yet alone. Just like doflamingo. He has all these strings he can pull so getting near him is dangerous he is protected by how inhospitable his surroundings are.
Really great Video! I feel that the importance of Doffy's glasses could be that it separates himself from the rest of the world. Where everyone else is openly expressive and can open their eyes to reality, Doffy is locked behind his tinted lenses, not letting others see him, and keeping his own eyes away from others. Eyes are the window to the soul, and Doffy's soul has always been walled away, obsucred, and nevet allowed to face reality for itself. Luffy breaking those glasses (even though some marine gave him a new pair??) finnally forces Doffy to open his eyes to the real world, the world he has no choice but to be a part of. A huge part of Doffy's mystery for the reader/watcher is what his eyes look like. Even Fujitora makes a comment that he wonders what Luffy's eyes look like after recognizing him as a pure and kind soul. I feel that, even if Doffy stayed in Marijois for his whole life, he would still somehow be sickened by the world, and wear his shades as a way to separate himself from people he sees as "lower" than himself.
It is kind of like Katakuri when you think about. His whole life he was the strongest of his siblings, the protecter, he had to live up to this expectacion that was given to him. Doflamingo wore the wore his glasses wich made him feel safe made him feel, stated by Shonksu, just like Katukuri who felt the same way about his face. When luffy defeated them they could let go of that persona and be themselves and not have to meat everybody's expectacions.
Wow.... I never saw this much insights about the doflamingo story... Nice thoughts... The glass being shattered and the cage symbolism was really great and suits the story... I never saw through it like this. Edit: Subscribing for this video.... First time here
Ohara a bit out of context, but I really like your thumbnails for scene analysis, manga pages made it look monumental. Seeing that you changed it made me a bit sad hahhaha
Oh my god. What a character analysis. Thats why I'm so emphatizing Doflamingo. Because his ideal is totally me. Thank you for your enlightenment of what I could become if I continuing this path. 🤗
It is so nice listening to your videos. I love it especially while I am doing something else and your voice is so calm. Also this analyses is amazing keep going dude
I think the main thing with Doffy and his glasses is that 'he won't look himself in the eyes, so you can't either'... a man who can acknowledge children becoming a product of their environment, yet refuses to take responsibility for his own actions, can only blame others, and refuses to accept the world... eerily relatable for most
chaotic good and lawful evil characters are really two sides of the same coin. As they recognize the flaw in the society hierarchy , the lawful evils intent to benefit from it as they throw away their morality all together, while the chaotic goods become the rebels of the society while keeping their good nature intact. These type villains hate the rebel heroes the most because they might influence the society to band together to topple their carefully built empires.
Yes, the difference between order and chaos is temptation. Lawful evil is corrupted, while choatic good is not. Evildoers will seize an opportunity, while the good guys are "builders". Also chaotic good wants to help, while he may be bad at it. Evil will not help and will pretend to be bad at it.
If we get to see Luffy Vs Doflamingo before final battle one more time it would be epic💞💞 When DOFFY laughs in face of danger every time looking straight in enemy's eye ...it's just incredible one of the best VILLIAN🎉🎉
I don't even watch one piece😂 but I always enjoy your analysis, to me it seems as if you notice things majority don't and it inspires me as a writer as well, I can ensure your channel will grow because I am not the targeted demographic yet you catched me!😂🦊 , good luck Ohara❤️
@@Ohara-the-Fox you deserve it, You have really good storytelling skill, and an objective eye to each character I am quite picky not any analysis gain my liking but you don’t forget that the coin has another side to it, and that's Ohara when I fall for the trap which what made me return to your channel😂✅ I also read people's comments about this anime characters in Instagram, blogs, and Reddit. I enjoy the fantasy, the wild imagination, and the magic but the most important aspect to me is the psychology and the complexity of the characters and how they can flip the scenario of the story, perhaps with future enhancement, I love getting inspired by multiple sources for an example this character “doflamingo” I've noticed he has this polarizing feeling to him people either perceive him as the villain that deserves punishment or as a victim that redefined justice a revolutionary symbol (either black or white) which I find it mesmerizing, remind me of Dostoevsky novel the crime and the punishment, the complexity that made the reader question fundamental vows as an example Does killing become a way to justice? who define it? Who has the right to apply it in the first place? What is their migraine that distinguishes the right from the wrong? Is it fixed applicable to all situations? Or does it has a Utilitarianism aspect to it? And I also noticed that "Doflamingo" also poses the question, "When does the animal end and the human begin?" It seems that he cannot direct his thorn to understand himself his existence metaphysically, just a slave of life, aka meaningless suffering, the hypothesis that human souls burdened with iniquity reside in the bodies of these animals obeying their animal desires. might explain why he is a flamingo? I don't know thats what I inspired from him. Also, I can deduce from the concept of "the glasses" that he is not confronting himself, fleeing from his own conscience of the hundred eyes. and I apologies for the length☺️😂
Not only the note about the bird cage is cool, a fact about Flamingoes is that they basically sit in a pool of toxic water and are raised there impervious ( I think the water represents the toxicity he’s constantly surrounded by, while the protection represents his general untouchability as a celestial dragon and as a crime lord)to most predators, because of the level of poisonous materials in the water, just another small tidbit that could represent Doflamingo as a character having been in nothing but poison his entire life whether it be surrounded by the most disgusting nobles or tossed into the throes of the masses that hate him. Lol maybe a reach but I find it cool that such toxic character has a natural biological toxic relationship too the animal he’s designed after.

“Pirates are evil the navy is just, but that’s only true because history tells us so. Children who’ve never known peace have different values than children who’ve never known war.”
When doflomingo said this at marine ford this probably one of the realest quotes out of one peace
Yea that’s real, you can apply that to life.
That quote truly solidified his character.
It summarises him quite well.
It's that level of moral relativity and ambiguity that makes him one of my favourite OP characters, because he could've just as well have been a marine like Akainu or justice seeking vigilante like Dragon if his life had been different.
Ironically the way life's realities hit him, it didn't ground him, but rather it blew his ambitions out of proportion which inflated his flamboyant persona.
It's so real, yet fantastical at the same time, and that's why I love Doffy, just like the Joker.
one "peace"
Yeah it really hit home because of course this happens in the real world as well. People are taught that people are bad and others are good just off of status. You can be a person who is something like a doctor and everybody thinks your this perfect person but you can be using this to experiment on people. But as something like a gang member who helps people out of their situation. Just because you are called a gang then you are a bad person who kills and does nothing but harm
Justice will prevail? Sure it will! Whoever prevails is justice!

I don't think it is quite like that. See, Doflamingo is one of the most cynical characters in the series. He has seen and experienced the horrors of the world first hand, so he cannot possibly see it through rose tinted glasses. I believe his glasses are meant to be tinted in red: blood, if you will. He traded his rose tinted glasses from when he was a celestial dragon in for a life where everything he sees is anger and violence.
@@Thenamelessgod-cz9em Hardly lol
@Muji 88 yeah I just didn’t know what to say and put that
@@ferinferno4224 what i mean is that how the celestial dragons see the world like everything is theirs and everyone should obey them. The glasses symbolises that view. When worn by a man (doffy) he also sees the world that way.

@@De1tAStreaM nah, those eyes are just white and black and aren't that concentric
Mihawk's, Im's and the "hybrid" Cavendish-Hakuba are much different from that, also not being white but colored in yellow/red
Doflamingo is one of the most dangerous villains, not because of his strength but his intent.
I know right, tbh he is personally my fav villain of all time.
He is by far Oda's using his own literature strengths at their finest. He used what he's best at, manipulating the length of his manga to create a always underlying villain and setting them up so soon. Doffy has existed as a villain since Bellamy and was always presented as a threat. He appeared every now and again making everyone know he existed by only at dressrosa is where we learned hoe truly terrifying he is. He is a absolute masterpiece on the like of Dio, Aizen, Madara, and even Handy boi from MHA.
No doubt and it woke me up that other celestial dragons may have conqueros haki
@@soupryu as a Jojo fan too, Dio is nowhere close to as good of a villain as anyone you’ve listed. Dio’s not even the best villain in Jojo
@@brendanl1108 I never said Dio was the best, but for the purposes of his story he is a masterpiece alikened to Doffy, Madara, and Shigaraki. He feels the role and a built up antagonist that reappears throughout the story, a looming threat that took the entire story to build up. In my opinion the best Villain in Jojo is either Touru or David Bowie but, in terms of raw build up and underlying villainy in their respective stories, Dio tops all of his competitors in his universe.

Yeah, doflamingo is proud of being the son of celestial dragons even though his parents wanted to live normal life. While Sabo on the other hand, he wants to live a normal life despite being the son of nobles who are proud.

Donquixote Dofflamingo is one of my absolute favorite characters in one piece. He was born a normal man, but was slowly corrupted over time into an absolute monster.
Wisdom Manari' Was he tho? He didn’t really change much from his childhood to now. He was raised to be thought better than everyone else, and he still believes that to this day?
When they ”stopped” being celestials he still held same beliefs as always. Only thing that changed was that he got a bit madder. Surely he was always a monster?
Hes still my fave character... after BB
ps: I accidently closed our dc dm and cant type to you there now😭
Definitely not a normal man
"normal man" lol
As someone who despises and disagrees with the "born evil" trope, I may have an explanation for Doflamingo's character as a child that avoids that trope entirely. People are created unequal; that's simply a fact. Some people are more easily influenced than others. Some people aren't necessarily born evil but are more susceptible to corruption than others. Doflamingo absorbed the lifestyle and teachings of his fellow nobles more than that of his parents. The complete opposite of his brother, Rosinante. As a result, his morals as a kid were very questionable. And then the tragedies of his life took place, and one event, in particular, is what I believe pushed him over the edge- the death of his mother. And then, after murdering his father and coming under the influence of the other Donquixote pirates, he gave in to pure evil, eradicating the last semblance of humanity left in him.
He was a monster from birth. He's a psychopath. The inbred genes of royalty often produce sociopaths and other unstable brain profiles.
Doffy and corazon reminds me of a story i herd when i was in rehab... about two brothers who had a drunk dad one brother turned out to be an alcoholic and another a respectable man in the society and when they were asked how or what made them the person they are now, they both replied its bcus their father was drunk all the time. Which the moral of that story was that the only thing that was different between the two brothers was their attitude to their situation.
Not sure if this adds anything to the topic but yeah lol
But that's not true at all.
You forget that there are many different factors that shape your life, including whether or not you have siblings or if you are the older or younger sibling.
Even if you are siamese twins, you'll never experience life exactly the same, and therefore it's not just about "attitude".
Believing that "attitude" is all there is to it is naive at best. It's akin to thinking that homeless people are on the street because they chose it, and no other factors play a part, when in reality we don't even know if truly free will exist on any level.
@@Zeverinsen your missing the point.. they both had the same circumstances and the only difference is their attitude towards thier situation.. well im not saying only attitude is way that helps but it is definitely the first step.. if you cant change the way u think u cnat change urself to make good changes.
@@Zeverinsen true free will does exists bcus you can choose n decide for urself for good or worse. But i get what u mean
Yup :)
We cant control what happened to us, we can control how we respond to things :)
That's what my pastor said too.
I'm not sure if such a story exists but yes
How we react to our circumstances is entirely based on our attitude which is a natural form of yourself but not pristine
Cause attitude has a way of changing over time due to change in circumstances but what Doffy lived through was something more darker
Doffy hated their parents cause of what happened
Corazon hated just the fact but didn't so at the people or his family
He understood things just happen but Doffy so Intoxicated with the very idea of being above all blinded him from being a human in the first place which he hates since he wants to be something above everyone else
I think he should make some sort of secondary impact on the story after wano. He's too important to let rot in impel down without anymore mention
He's gonna break out some how for sure he's really important to
kaido along side Caesar when he got captured and he was on the ship in his cell we heard him potting on what's to come.🦩
Somebody hasn't moved on 😄
@@mayaparamita2254 ?
Glad y peeep this
omgitsjavi, I’m pretty Oda would only bring back Doflamgino in the story in the final war or the events before the final epilogue is unless Black Beard breaks in and out Impel Down again and frees even more prisoners from Impel Down as well as destroying Impel Down for good, so that way characters like Dragon, Smoker, and Koby will not only rebuild a better World Government structure, but they’d rebuild new and better government facilities than facilities like MarnieFord, Impel Down, and Enies Lobby.
the speech he gives while on tsuru's ship after getting captured sent chills down my spine, honestly one of his best moments imo
Also flamingos have very distinct pink color, which makes them stand out among other birds. This kind of mirrors Doflamingo's perception of himself as the special one, the GOD in this sense.
@linlinö önilnil , if Doflamgino was the strongest Celestial Dragon that you claim he is then why did he loose to pre-udon Luffy in Dressrosa whenever post-udon Luffy is the Luffy that became as powerful if not more powerful than a Yonko.
To be fair a lot of birds have unique colors, but Donquixote Peacock doesn’t sound too great
He saw himself as special and is always wearing "rose colored glasses" showing his inability to see the world and himself as it actually is
Idk, id say Doflamingo has seen both the best and the worst of this world. He has by no means a "rosy" vision from life
Plaese do a villain analysis on Crocodile or Moria! I know many fans dislike the latter but Oda gave us a lot of psychological material for him, especially in chapter 925.
Crocodile is my absolute favorite character in One Piece. I hope we get to see him again in the story.
Doflamingo is actually the glasses controlling a human and using his body as its own, the proof is that no matter how many times doflamingo got hit by law and luffy he didn't get knocked down until luffy broke his glasses
note: i'm joking don't take it seriously
If luffy wore the glasses the story would be over by now
Never knew Doffy was related to Shinpachi. Oda has done it again.
Yes it is a metaphor
Doflamingo is easily top 10 characters in this show, his voice, ideals, best villain overall we had in this anime.
I think the only thing missing is examining the relevance of his last name Donquixote and the relevance to the old spanish novel and if the themes of imagined vs reality has more to do with his father or doflamingo himself
The eyes are the reflection of the soul.
When they were kids, we never saw Doflamingo's eyes because et wore glasses, and we never saw Rossinante's eyes because of his hair. But once grown, Doflamingo kept wearing glasses and Rossinante stopped covering his eyes with his hair.
I don't know what to make of that but I'm sure there's a meaning behind this.
Maybe
You can put that into the perspective of freedom
👀
@@dotted_stains2792 gah dayum
its a subtle but nice touch that in the grand line doflamingo wore his coat like a pirate (arms in sleeve) but in the new world he wore his coat like a marine (coat over shoulders). i think this symbolizes his status and possibly that his "pirate" self was just an exotic persona he flaunts to the world for attention while his real self is obsessed with order and control like the marines.
summary: *the problem of being faster than light is that you can only live in darkness*
U make the absolute best one piece analysis’s on UA-cam
I think what makes Doffy so great is because he is the final draft of what Oda wanted in an evil self obsessed villain. Fishman Island, Punk Hazard, and dressrosa all have similar stories. Mad man takes over island and enslaves its people so he can impose his ideology upon them. When things don't go their way they decide to wipe out all life and start again somewhere else. However Doffy isn't a cliche like Hody Jones who is honestly boring, while also having an actual reason for feeling the way he does unlike Ceasar who is evil for evil sakes. Not to mention you actually care what happens in the end and to the people involved. I wasn't invested at all in the people when Noah was about to fall on them. I didn't care when the gas was covering people up in "stone". However I was upset and saddened by the residents of Dressrosa being forced to kill each other, turned into toys and forgotten, and then to finally be trapped in a cage that would slowly destroy everything they have ever known before killing every last one of them. Doflamingo, his "family", and the world building of Dressrosa was done so beautifully because it learned from the failures of the past two arc and villains and perfected the message that Oda wanted to tell.
Absolutely, Doflamingo was a true success compared to Hordy and Caesar (mostly Hordy imo as he was so fucking boring, but atleast Caesar was fun to watch lmao)
This reminds of that line from bojack where she says " when you look with the rose colourd glass, all the red flags look just flags"
Oda once said that the reason Doffy wears glasses has to do with the OnePiece and/or the void century, namely they reveal something crucial about them. So the nature and form of his eyes are going to be really important later on.
Source or it didn't happen.
Source?
Stop making shit up Oda never said such thing
He wears his shades as a way for Oda to hide his connection, possibly bloodties, to Imu. Thats what i believe anyway.
What if Doffy was blind just like Fujitora, but didn't want anyone to know that and hence, compensated by wearing the shades while 'seeing' everything through observation haki. For instance, Doffy never speaks of any colours whatsoever, or reacts to brightness or darkness at any level. May be he lost his eyesight on that fateful night when his family was lynched by the crazy mob...
He could also use thin invisible strings to feel off objects and places
No. You're wrong. He already wear sunnies before he and his family left Mariejoa. So your statement is wrong.
@@mayaparamita2254 you make no sense. Please elaborate.
@@mayaparamita2254 do you mean to say that a visually challenged person would not be wearing shades ? There is no possibility of him doing so, for any reason, including the ones discussed ?
@@mayaparamita2254 did I say he did not wear glasses before ?
There's a scene at the beginning of dressrosa when luffy first meets fujitora that I think is connected to doflamingo's love for glasses. Fujitora tells luffy that he blinded himself so that he didn't have to see the darkness and corruption of the world. In much the same way I think doflamingo wears sunglasses so he doesn't have to see the light of the world. Always love the videos Ohara, you do amazing analysis!
Glad to see my favorite OP UA-camr making a video about my favorite character!
After watching this, it made me realise why Doflamingo takes the name of Joker, when you play most card games, you always remove the jokers from the deck, so the Joker had to be removed for the real game to begin, thus in the One piece world, the openning moves to becoming the Pirate king, Kiddo move, team up with Big Mom, Luffy's move, gathering allies, Shanks's move to talk to the elders of the world Nobles, the nobles of the world move to remove the Warlord system, thus the game is afoot, who will become the next Pirate King or ruler of the seas and what will they do with that place, the only player whose has yet to make a known move is Black Bread, the Revoluationies made a move at the gathering of the kings, thus its Black bread's turn, what move will he make?
We will finally see Doffy's eyes at his imminent death scene...betting on it.
Under his glasses is another pair of glasses
But why? To see two white circles with two dots on it?
I expect no happy ending for Doffy.
@@gabrieldjatienza6971yeah he knows too much to keep living, the government can’t let him let information like that out

@@wedding2710 Actually posted this before ever watching that video lol. But I watch a lot of One Piece and Mr. Morj content so my thoughts are definitely influenced by him
Agree! Doffy = anti-Luffy, its funny how their names line up. Intentional, I presume.
I've always had the feeling he only had one eye left, cause in his flashback I had the impression that an arrow was shot in one of his eyes (I believe we see his glasses shatter), I felt like he was hiding the scar with his shades + we never clearly see his face without it. It's just a thought though, not sure about it, nor what it would symbolize
Wow, you actually managed to make a very compelling case for Doflamingo's sunglasses without it sounding like headcanon. Amazing video!
Do you think his still wearing of the sunglasses at Impel Down means he's too far gone into his own flaws to find himself as a person?
the real question is who in the marine had an extra pair of glasses for doffy man?

I watched this awhile ago and loved the idea. But i couldn’t find it again until now and I’m really glad I did
One of the greatest antagonist I've ever seen.
Actually, giving Doffy the Ito Ito no mi was beyond than a great writing skill from Oda, because it puts in a nutshell who Doflamingo truly is. He is the one behind the strings but he was also manipulated by : his ego, the dirty society where he was born and finally, by Trebol and his friends. His "family" was nothing but a joke. In some ways, it reminds me of Rui from Demon Slayers, who was looking for a family but he didn't know the meaning of a family. Doflamingo knew it in some ways but was blind, and he hasn't seen nothing. He probably was looking for some "respect" and "love", and according to this character, the word "family" seems to be the group of persons who can give him everything he wants (and to whom he can give everything). So yes, he thinks that Trebol, Diamante, Pica and Vergo gave him what he wanted, so they are part of his family. But the other way is not true : they used this child to become more powerful.
Doflamingo is both a victim and a criminal, he inherates the Celestial Dragon system, so he feels that he was superior, but was weak at the same time, because he didn't see that he only was a puppet in the hands of his friends.
I've written an analysis for this character, explaining why Doflamingo is one of the most important antagonist in One Piece (if not the most important just behind Blackbeard) : his appearance, his backstory, his personnality, his powers, his crew, his symbolism, and his role in the plot.
I truly love this character, easily in my top 3.
By the way, what a great video ! You did a really good job !
Don't know why but everytime I watch anything about doflamingo it hits my heart.Its very relatable to people like us who comes from this unjusticed society,where powerful people does anything they want and even if its bad,it becomes good but weak people suffer.And due to this nature,weak people also wants to be powerful.and the name justice and good lost in this cruel society.Many people are made to be bad and evil selfish ones by the society and by people living around them.
Doffy's an instant fave for me when I watched One Piece. Thank you for this deep analysis. He is a tragic character. I hope Oda redeems his character like Crocodile, by helping Luffy burn down Mariejois or somethin so he can get some revenge as well.
Loved ohara and lots of love from Nepal
What I always found super interesting is that despite wanting to become immortal Dofy never went after Law in all the years since Minion. He said he wanted to educate him to die for him yet despite all his influence and might he never confronted Law himself.
This video is done so well on so many levels. Sound, editing, content, you name it. This feels like the pinnacle of content creation.
This actually makes me feel a little like he could be redeemed but I've got a bad feeling I can never happen
Hope he atleast comes back tho
This is really insightful. We've all read the same story but somehow you make it seem like I only looked at the art. Quality videos about one piece is what we need more of. Props to you my guy.
I really have to relook at this. He was such a great villain!
Amazing analysis, really in depth and well structured!
thanks a bunch! Anything in particular that you liked?
I myself have thought a lot about the character of Doflamingo. It tells you how well this character has been created. You really start to wonder why he's so bad. What is the ultimate reason why he is what he is today and it makes you feel sorry for him. A really great character (one of the best in One Piece) and hopefully we’ll see him even more in the future. Thanks for the great video❤
5:30 woulda been excellent If you dropped the fact that Sengoku was Rosinate’s surrogate father after Homing died after Doffy getting Trebol.
In your opinion if the fathers were reversed do you think that Doffy would of turned out differently? I think it might be interesting if Doffy shared those secrets with Sengoku and that had an influence with SWORD
Ohhh, what an insightful explanation! ❤️🔥
Dude you are genuinely one of the best analyzer of characters
Great Analysis !!!
But the contrast between Fujitora (blind) and Doflamingo (sunglasses) is missing. Why is Doflamingo wearing a Kabbalah wristband on the right Arm => attracting evil => Evil Eye ???
I believe there is more deeper context in Doflamingos Sunglasses :)
You, GrandLineReview, RogersBase, and Totally Not Mark are my favorite One Piece UA-camrs! Keep up the amazing work!
Thank you for covering this!
You really know how to make someone really appreciate someone, even if they already did.
wow this was an amazing video. I never viewed Doflamingo like this and the ending of the video really got me as well. Man the birdcage.
Respectfully doffy is going to comeback stronger he is too good of a character
Why did you say "respectfully" as if you were going to offend somebody lmao
he doesn’t need to be stronger, he already can win the battle against the government, he knows a lot about mariejois, the secret and Imu probably
I think you can go a different way with the name flamingo. Flamingo thrive in lakes where the water is so salty that it kills anything it touches only the legs of the flamingo can withstand it. So a flamingo stands protected by it's surroundings yet alone. Just like doflamingo. He has all these strings he can pull so getting near him is dangerous he is protected by how inhospitable his surroundings are.
Please do a video on Law! Love these!
He's doing villains/antagonist right now
You and Mr Morj are definitely working together behind the scenes
Really great Video! I feel that the importance of Doffy's glasses could be that it separates himself from the rest of the world. Where everyone else is openly expressive and can open their eyes to reality, Doffy is locked behind his tinted lenses, not letting others see him, and keeping his own eyes away from others. Eyes are the window to the soul, and Doffy's soul has always been walled away, obsucred, and nevet allowed to face reality for itself. Luffy breaking those glasses (even though some marine gave him a new pair??) finnally forces Doffy to open his eyes to the real world, the world he has no choice but to be a part of. A huge part of Doffy's mystery for the reader/watcher is what his eyes look like. Even Fujitora makes a comment that he wonders what Luffy's eyes look like after recognizing him as a pure and kind soul. I feel that, even if Doffy stayed in Marijois for his whole life, he would still somehow be sickened by the world, and wear his shades as a way to separate himself from people he sees as "lower" than himself.
You’re explanation was so beautifully executed. Seriously - thank you !!!
You and morj both put out fire today damn
It is kind of like Katakuri when you think about. His whole life he was the strongest of his siblings, the protecter, he had to live up to this expectacion that was given to him. Doflamingo wore the wore his glasses wich made him feel safe made him feel, stated by Shonksu, just like Katukuri who felt the same way about his face. When luffy defeated them they could let go of that persona and be themselves and not have to meat everybody's expectacions.
@linlinö önilnil You make a good point.
Wow.... I never saw this much insights about the doflamingo story... Nice thoughts... The glass being shattered and the cage symbolism was really great and suits the story... I never saw through it like this.
Edit: Subscribing for this video.... First time here
Ohara a bit out of context, but I really like your thumbnails for scene analysis, manga pages made it look monumental. Seeing that you changed it made me a bit sad hahhaha
Ohara you are truely killing it with the analysis! Keep up the good work
Oh my god. What a character analysis.
Thats why I'm so emphatizing Doflamingo. Because his ideal is totally me.
Thank you for your enlightenment of what I could become if I continuing this path. 🤗
Loved it ❤💙💚💛💜
It is so nice listening to your videos. I love it especially while I am doing something else and your voice is so calm. Also this analyses is amazing keep going dude
I hope Doffy becomes a threat again. Hands down my favorite Villian.
Those glasses are the most powerful thing in all of One Piece! Idk why They don't throw it at Kaido and defeat him and move on to the next arc already
Waiting for luffy to take his glasses and throw them at kaido like Sailor Moon throws her tiara lol
it was second strongest, the first strongest is luffy's slipper
I think the main thing with Doffy and his glasses is that 'he won't look himself in the eyes, so you can't either'... a man who can acknowledge children becoming a product of their environment, yet refuses to take responsibility for his own actions, can only blame others, and refuses to accept the world... eerily relatable for most
chaotic good and lawful evil characters are really two sides of the same coin. As they recognize the flaw in the society hierarchy , the lawful evils intent to benefit from it as they throw away their morality all together, while the chaotic goods become the rebels of the society while keeping their good nature intact. These type villains hate the rebel heroes the most because they might influence the society to band together to topple their carefully built empires.
Yes, the difference between order and chaos is temptation. Lawful evil is corrupted, while choatic good is not. Evildoers will seize an opportunity, while the good guys are "builders".
Also chaotic good wants to help, while he may be bad at it. Evil will not help and will pretend to be bad at it.
Oda bless that One Piece has so much discussion points you can make videos out of .
Interesting video, keep it up 🙏

@@Ohara-the-Fox you deserve it, You have really good storytelling skill, and an objective eye to each character I am quite picky not any analysis gain my liking but you don’t forget that the coin has another side to it, and that's Ohara when I fall for the trap which what made me return to your channel😂✅
I also read people's comments about this anime characters in Instagram, blogs, and Reddit.
I enjoy the fantasy, the wild imagination, and the magic but the most important aspect to me is the psychology and the complexity of the characters and how they can flip the scenario of the story, perhaps with future enhancement, I love getting inspired by multiple sources for an example this character “doflamingo” I've noticed he has this polarizing feeling to him people either perceive him as the villain that deserves punishment or as a victim that redefined justice a revolutionary symbol (either black or white) which I find it mesmerizing, remind me of Dostoevsky novel the crime and the punishment, the complexity that made the reader question fundamental vows as an example Does killing become a way to justice? who define it? Who has the right to apply it in the first place? What is their migraine that distinguishes the right from the wrong? Is it fixed applicable to all situations? Or does it has a Utilitarianism aspect to it?
And I also noticed that "Doflamingo" also poses the question, "When does the animal end and the human begin?" It seems that he cannot direct his thorn to understand himself his existence metaphysically, just a slave of life, aka meaningless suffering, the hypothesis that human souls burdened with iniquity reside in the bodies of these animals obeying their animal desires. might explain why he is a flamingo? I don't know thats what I inspired from him. Also, I can deduce from the concept of "the glasses" that he is not confronting himself, fleeing from his own conscience of the hundred eyes. and I apologies for the length☺️😂
3:20 will never fail to make me emotional 😭😭🥺
Man I wanna see more of Doflamingo in the story
I never thought of flamingo like this. I feel like he'll help Luffy in some way in the future.
Not only the note about the bird cage is cool, a fact about Flamingoes is that they basically sit in a pool of toxic water and are raised there impervious ( I think the water represents the toxicity he’s constantly surrounded by, while the protection represents his general untouchability as a celestial dragon and as a crime lord)to most predators, because of the level of poisonous materials in the water, just another small tidbit that could represent Doflamingo as a character having been in nothing but poison his entire life whether it be surrounded by the most disgusting nobles or tossed into the throes of the masses that hate him. Lol maybe a reach but I find it cool that such toxic character has a natural biological toxic relationship too the animal he’s designed after.
thx for these analysis :)
Sense it, but never thought it like that... thanks for clearing ✌
Amazing as always
