One of the most chilling takes I've ever heard about Doffy is "if you have an ounce of sympathy for this man while reading One Piece then he's already won."
He does not want people to feel sympathetic towards him though. He might use your sympathies for his purposes but that does not mean you cannot have an ounce of sympathy for him. You can understand a villain's motives and struggles without forgiving them. Even then, he is not the kind to be sympathised regardless of if you understand him as a person.
Honestly i feel the worst for Kyros, he had to not only watch his wife die, but had to hold her while she had no idea who he was, and would never know who he was again, to her she somehow had a daughter but never knew her husband and would never get her memory of him back, like damn that’s messed up
Not only did the relatives of the toys forget about them, they also were forced to watch their families and friends move on without them. Truly Doffy is one of the most despicable characters in One Piece.
Right? Imagine forgetting about your partner/spouse and moving on with someone else, then remembering them after Sugar was defeated? What the hell do you do?
"Uh, honey, I know this is strange but since I forgot you existed I just got married" "Hello sir, we are from the bank and now that you exist again this is the loan which you owe us" "Pirate Indigo beard! Your bounty is put up again, even though we don't know how did we ignored the poster this whole time..."
It's actually impressive how much Doflamingo effected one Piece. not only that Law would be dead, but 3 islands would look completely different. he talked about Dressrosa, but no Doflamingo means no Smiles - so Wano and Punk Hazard as well
Doflamingo also owns the biggest weapons factory, slave market (Sabaody island's slave auction), even drugs trafficking (the medicine that WB used have Doffy's jolly roger on it). That's why both Sabo and the Rev Army is in Dressrossa in the 1st place, they wanna stop Doffy's weapon supply towards other countries.
Also, the World Government get a lot of their guns from the Underworld. That's why CP0 was in Wano. So they can broker a deal with Orochi to manufacture weapons.

Doffy spots a ship and with the remaining strength he has he takes there ship and it’s one of the lower Cross Guild ships. Doflamingo either already knowing what happened to T Bone and about the cross guild alliance, he makes the crew call Crocodile or Buggy or makes them do it out of confusion then Crocodile answers the phone jokingly asking Doflamingo to join the guild as a disrespectful reality chec of the control he’s in compared to marine ford when Doffy asked Croc to work under him.

They could really use Bon Clay’s ability. So they tell Doflamingo to stay where him and Bob Clay are, they’ll be on there way to get them and go to impel down 🤯 I might have to make a video about this cause HOLY SHIT I CAN SEE IT

Doflamingo strikes me as a very... unfortunately familiar kind of evil. The kind of evil that will "care" for someone or something, but only as far as it is "his" in his mind. It doesn't matter the condition of the person or thing, it doesn't matter what they think, they are HIS and his alone. As long as he can possess something he's happy. If something disturbs that, then he gets pissed and lashes out. Let this serve as a warning when dealing with that kind of person: Don't. They have no good anywhere in them. They will fake every kind of smile to manipulate you and then threaten your life if you ever tried to rebel. There is no healing a heart like that.
Besides describing the type wayyy too carroonishly evil without any nuisance, especially since what Oda and Tekking are trying to convey is just like in reality, people have nuisance its not black and white` but still a great description
@@KaoticReach1999 It may have nuance, but how many ways can you describe the colors of a wall of poison? It's not black and white but the shades hardly matter when all of them are bad now do they?

Doflamingo is a dark empath he understood Laws pain he was able to possess cognitive empathy which made him much scarier then most of the One Piece villains.
Doflamingo is a very interesting character. He doesn't actually seems to be trying to be evil at all as far as I can remember, but in any decision making 'evil' options are as good as any for him. He has zero regard to life in general, suffering of others, other human beings etc (accept his family, of course), so when he take any decision these (petty, as far as he is concerned) considerations don't play a role at all, hence his actions commonly turns out to be the 'evil' ones. His disregard of life in general, suffering of others, other human beings etc, is very similar to any generic tenryuubito, but he is way more intelligent. He is an intelligent tenryuubito with a traumatic past.
What sells Doflamingo as a special kind of evil is his willingness to throw everything away because of his anger. He was angry at his father so he killed him even though it was his mouth that got them discovered beaten and tortured. Dressrosa gets a lot of comparison to Alabasta but at least Crocodile's ambition was hyper focused and it was probably the biggest hurdle in all of One Piece for plot armor with Luffy surviving what should have been a guaranteed death. Crocodile also didn't care about Alabasta. Doflamingo attacked Dressrosa due to some implied birthright. Enslaved a contingent of the population into slavery and made everyone else forget about them and its like okay. Cool. Even though he had the Mera Mera no Mi he didn't need to entice Luffy on to the island. Hell it didn't even factor into much because the tournament ran with no interference or real trap. Only that Doflamingo let Diamante set up the REAL devil fruit as a price under the pretext that he could handle it when realistically he's not all that strong. But when everything went to crap he figured he's destroy the island. His entire pirate crew would be destroyed, All of Dressrosa would have been in ruins. He'd have lost more doing what he did.
Doffy is one of those who when everything else is going to crap, you might as well burn everything else down too. But on the other hand I don't think he ever would think he would lose. I think that with his father, he always blamed him because to Doffy being raised as a CD, he was entitled to do what he did. And he has never let go of that entitlement. I think his most formative years were shaped as a CD, while his little brother Roci, hadn't quite yet. So by the time they left Marijoia, he basically was stuck in that mindset
I wonder if Doffy's been working his haki like crazy in prep for revenge on Luffy. "Hey brat, that was a neat trick you pulled. Gear 4, right? Lemme show ya what I learned to do while thinking about splitting your skull"
Technically, due to the cover page, Moria is the only former Warlord who we haven't seen since Wano ended.And even then, we know Perona rescued him. The Warlords are still very relevant.
I have thought for a while that Doffy indeed cares for others but only as long as they care and are loyal to him and they don't challenge him and his mentality of himself. I think with Roci, because Doflamingo saw him as a traitor, someone who had actively betrayed him, it hurt him and because of that he had to kill him. Just as he did with his father. Doffy is very, very big on loyalty at least in those of the family. So that's why he ended up feeling like Roci had to die.
Sea urchins are indeed very interesting. As a biologist, I know some information myself. They are related to starfish and sea cucumbers. The tube feet you mentioned are water-filled, hollow muscle tubes that can be extended and move in every direction by contracting and relaxing the muscles as well as pumping more or less water into the tube feet. The tube feet also have a suction cup at the end. The spikes can also move. They have a mouth made up of five tooth plates. They are bilaterally symmetrical (they have a front, a back, a left, and a right side) like most animals as a larva (yes, they do have a larval stage) but become radially symmetrical (they do not have a front, a back, a left, or a right side) as an adult.
If only we don't have a gigantic horizontal list for fusing though. They could have had a similar list that the other menu have. It wouldn't be a clean look but at least a functional one. The sorting option only does so much.
24:44 "That's right, you're not dealing with the average Tenryūbito warrior anymore, Frieza... I, Don Flamingo, have finally become... the legendary Super Tenryūbito!!!!"
I'm sure there was a lot of us who suggested urchin facts but gosh did it put a smile on my face knowing that I suggested them and Tekking chose to do a segment on them 😁
Mermaid Man “EVIL !!!” - Vergo was confirmed to have died along with Monet on Punk Hazard, but as for a future cover story I see it focusing on Bon-chan’s escape plan where in behind the scenes there will be hints of Doflamingo escaping then later appearing at the final battle
Doffy loves his family, among most treble, his adopted father in some sense. Extending that family love to a bird that finds itself out of its element, like he did when he was young, doesnt seem too far out of the realm of possibility. In so acting as treble did to him in his youth
as of chapter 1081, Garp was seen using the attack known as "Blue Hole". what might not have been known is that this attack was in fact infused with blue haki. the only known being that could have taught Garp how to use blue haki is Imu (Arlong the Sea Devil), this means that Money D. Garp is training under Arlong and is learning the ways of blue haki
I know people are hoping and praying for an all Warlord crew with the Cross Guild, but I’ll be honest… Doflamingo really has NO redeemable qualities as a character. His ally with anyone would just feel off, I’d rather him return to the story to die in a fitting way.
If Tsuru was able to use her Clean-Clean DF on him to have him attain some more humanity and positive characteristics.. That would be the only plausible way for him to become less evil and have any sort of redemption arc It all depends on if Oda~sensei wants to use Doffy as an insturmental piece of The Final War Arc since Doffy knows all about Mariejois’ National Treasure and was able to go to Imu~sama to get the newspapers to state he left the Warlords when he never did
@@Mizikame In an SBS, it was said a truly evil person would require repeat washings to cleanse them. Lord knows how long it would take for Doflamingo. Start with the filthiest black sock, and turn it into a pristine white.
A shining example of Donquixote Doflamingo's goodness was revealed in an SBS where it was revealed he rescued Monet & her sister Sugar from a terrible circumstance I would love to see that in a spin-off novel as the way that backstory is it would be too dark for a cover story
Oh gosh, I just thought of this. Doflamingo and Lucci are bird bros now. Both are crazy strong, insane to different degrees and now have bird companions if Doffy takes the baby bird home with him.
I like to think those god knights are around doffys level or slightly above. I doubt they are on the admirals level because that would be insane and they'd win automatically but doffy is more of a good level of strong but not over the top as I'm sure the celestial dragons would bring them everywhere or call them instead of admirals Though they would be insane having op fruits when using the fruits for entertainment too
They wouldn't. Because the Admirals are for going out into the world to do their job. And you even have times like Marineford when you need all of them together in a single place. The Gods Knights are specifically a defense and judiciary branch for the Celestial Dragons. They not only keep order evidently, but also solve disputes. They would also be the heavy hitters of the Upper World. The point would be that you shouldn't leave the Holy Land unprotected. The reason it wouldn't make sense to send them out, is because you're sending the Admirals out. The World Government might be arrogant, but they haven't existed for centuries by being stupid and assuming they're untouchable just because they're at the top of the Redline.
@@AlMamun-ik3tz Admiral level is still ridiculous. How many characters do we know of that might feasibly go toe to toe with an admiral (or win against one)? Like 15? The emperors, mihawk, the actual admirals, implied garp and sengoku, rayleigh, roger, oden, yamato. Maybe sanji and zoro if we're pushing it? That's still only 20.
I also thought the cover is a bit similar to Monet & her relation to Doflamingo. Monet, obviously having links to birds, was rescued by Doflamingo from a terrible environment. Yeah… Man, I liked Monet…
I actually have a fun urchin fact, some types of sea urchins will wear rocks as hats. you can find pictures online of urchins wearing small hats people made for them including cowboy hats, it’s amazing.
Didn't know UA-cam showes "34 seconds ago" as the time of upload. I have never been that early to any video and it joys me that it happened on this very channel right here.
Hey Tekking! Its really cool that you made a video on the Doflamingo art request. Im glad my comment didn't come off as condescending. Felt a bit awkward telling the guy who talks about a series for a living that he didn't catch something about one of the characters lmao 🤣
Day 8: In honor of the deceased Vice Admiral T-Bone, you should do a video on what if each member of the straw hat WAS A MARINE, up to current storyline. For example, instead of Devil Chid Nico Robin hopping from Pirate Crew to Pirate crew, she runs into GARP, who does for her when Sengoku does for Corazon, hidden identity and all
I agree that Katakuri would definitely beat Doffy. Although in his defense when he fought Luffy, Law had already used gamma knife to shred his insides. Which is a tad bit gnarlier than the 🔱
I love Doflamingo as a villain cuz he has a gray area of evil, much like all one piece characters. I truly hated him for what he did to dressrosa but also feel for him as you say when he had to kill his only brother. Can't wait to see what he does in the final war
If we have the comparisons of some elements of One Piece to Norse Myth, I'd like to compare Doflamingo to Nidhogr. Doflamingo has always been somebody who inhabits the "underworld" and "gnaws at the roots of the world." I bet Doflamingoes' role is going to be that of somebody who breaks out all the former villains of One Piece and rides with them into the final battle.
Now that I think about it, Doffy's would be assassin would have to be God's knight/Holy knight and they'd have to be rank of Tenryuobito. "Normal" humans aren't allowed to harm Heavenly dragons and they are above all laws. Even though Doflamingo is technically former member, the dragons might not like it assassins go around killing them. It's kinda like historical feudal structure. Only your peers or people above you can judge you. So if Doffy is to die by will of Imu or even the Tenryubito themselves, it can't be some some WG or Marine branch doing it.
The difference between empathy and sympathy. Empathy says "I know how you feel, therefore I help you." Sympathy says "I know how I felt when I went through something similar, therefore I help me."
I would actually argue that he doesnt care for the Doflamingo Family, he likes them because theyre loyal to him and useful. They are his twisted idea if what a family should have been, but when it comes down to it he will sacrifice them for himself and would not do the reverse
First off, I'm surprised it took you this long to realize this about the fan request. For Rosi, it was sad, however he was placed in a tight spot. His brother, whom he loved dearly, betrayed him and lied to him. Doffy is just the type not to forgive people. Second, the pink light has Tekking looking hot asf.
24:04 well, actually that would add up considering previous events in the story. We saw first hand that when a warlord of the sea is locked up in Impel Down they get a Zenkai boost style power-up, like what happened with Crocidile. He was kinda weak before his defeat but when he broke out, he was shown to be comparable to haki users.
What Doffy proves is that Celestial Dragons can be pirates common people etc. Even Vivi proves this. Which backs up the theory of Shanks being a Celestial Dragon.
as we know, Zoro is a user of Green Haki, he had a green aura around him and his blades as seen in episode 1059. this had lead me to believe that this was Zoro's ace card. But as of my most recent interview with Eichiro Oda, he has informed me that that aura wasn't JUST green haki. That's right, Broly from Dragonball has taught Zoro how to go Super Saiyan and how to infuse his green haki into this new form when Zoro got lost and found himself in the Dragonball Universe. This also would mean that Broly is a user of green haki as well as Gaimon and Dragon. If Zoro and Broly were to preform fusion, this would mean the end of the world and potentially have the power to take down Arlong the Sea Devil A.K.A. Imu A.K.A .Luffy's Mother.
10 doflamingos would definitely be strong enough to matter. I don't really get why the God's knights would have to be shanks level. tbh I think that would be a massive let down because it kills the hype oda has built for shanks over 25 years
Jokes aside though, all forms of evil exhibited by an individual have an origin if one traces things back far enough. When one understands the root of a person’s evil intent, it becomes much more clear why they do what they do, even if it seemed like the product of pure insanity before. Doflamingo blames all his early-life problems on his family, so he got rid of them and built a family that, in his eyes, wouldn’t ruin his life- starting with the person who gave him purpose and direction at his lowest point, Trebol. Trebol fires off lots of BS all the time, but Doflamingo is unbothered by it; that’s his family, his chosen family no less, and no one touches them. Doffy’s built the kind of family he wishes he always had- one that doesn’t fail him, doesn’t put him in danger, and doesn’t betray him (since anyone who does just gets merc-ed instantly 😅). So then, he turns to his second goal: control everything, so that he never feels powerless again.
I think it's more likely Doflamingo has an ally within the God's knights or even his knowledge and charisma is enough to sway a god knight to his side rather than Doffy fighting to escape impel down. If Vergo survived that explosion his full body armament haki would have finally been useful for something. Where does Kong fit into all this?
I remember another person in that mob said that his children were 5 and 3 and they were playing and they ran in front of a CD and the noble killed them even though they were only children I am glad that Viola didn't get Pregnant, Imagine having to carry Doffy's Kid, that would have been bad, unless Viola tried to ensure the kid was good, At least Doffy used Protection during his nights with Viola Virgo died in the explosion, he is classed as deceased on wiki. I think Diamante is dead too or at least in a coma and Paralyzed he must have suffered some Spinal damage when he hit Scarlets grave.
I, for one, would find it absolutely hilarious if Doffy was actually really kind to specifically animals and just not people 🤣 “people are scum, animals are just minding their own business”
Thing is... a holy knight might be stronger than Doflamingo... But Doflamingo is crafty, smart and evil, I wouldn't be surprised if he could outsmart a holy knight.
I think he might get rescued from Impel Down by Croco boy and Mihawk, and join them. No big reason why, it just crossed my mind while listenning to this.
I feel like the God's Knights being at a level that is above Dolflamingo's but below King/Katakuri's level would make sense. If they were admiral or yonko level, the power balance would be really skewed since from the silhouette there were quite a few of them.
I would love to have the time to write this, but an Isekai where the MC wakes up in the body of Doflamingo, and has to deal with the fall out of that while also trying to survive and become a great pirate because they where a big One Piece fan. Because while not the best fruit the string fruit is one hell of a powerful fruit.
Doflamingo is definitely my favourite villain in One Piece. He has probably has the best laugh in all of One Piece and is very calculating. Besides the other Tenryūbito he has probably the most despicable character with what Sugar's fruit does to people alone.
I like to think Barry is the one who makes all the sets for Tekking and whenever Tekking grabs an additional mini or something for the set its just him going off script.
The best villains are the ones that think they're doing the right thing, and the irredeemable ones. Frieza and doffy are my favorite villains in anime for those reasons
Vergo is in fact dead, his last scene was Doflamingo thanking him for his work and loyalty, I really like that scene (Very underrated moment)
Agreed
One of the most chilling takes I've ever heard about Doffy is "if you have an ounce of sympathy for this man while reading One Piece then he's already won."
He does not want people to feel sympathetic towards him though. He might use your sympathies for his purposes but that does not mean you cannot have an ounce of sympathy for him. You can understand a villain's motives and struggles without forgiving them. Even then, he is not the kind to be sympathised regardless of if you understand him as a person.

What sells Doflamingo as a special kind of evil is his willingness to throw everything away because of his anger. He was angry at his father so he killed him even though it was his mouth that got them discovered beaten and tortured.
Dressrosa gets a lot of comparison to Alabasta but at least Crocodile's ambition was hyper focused and it was probably the biggest hurdle in all of One Piece for plot armor with Luffy surviving what should have been a guaranteed death. Crocodile also didn't care about Alabasta. Doflamingo attacked Dressrosa due to some implied birthright. Enslaved a contingent of the population into slavery and made everyone else forget about them and its like okay. Cool.
Even though he had the Mera Mera no Mi he didn't need to entice Luffy on to the island. Hell it didn't even factor into much because the tournament ran with no interference or real trap. Only that Doflamingo let Diamante set up the REAL devil fruit as a price under the pretext that he could handle it when realistically he's not all that strong. But when everything went to crap he figured he's destroy the island. His entire pirate crew would be destroyed, All of Dressrosa would have been in ruins. He'd have lost more doing what he did.
Doffy is one of those who when everything else is going to crap, you might as well burn everything else down too. But on the other hand I don't think he ever would think he would lose. I think that with his father, he always blamed him because to Doffy being raised as a CD, he was entitled to do what he did. And he has never let go of that entitlement. I think his most formative years were shaped as a CD, while his little brother Roci, hadn't quite yet. So by the time they left Marijoia, he basically was stuck in that mindset
That is truly disgusting to me
@@IreneShardaForever
Sounds about right to me
Crocodile was willing to bomb all of Alabasta if things didn't go his way, so its actually quite similar to Doflamingo.
I wonder if Doffy's been working his haki like crazy in prep for revenge on Luffy.
"Hey brat, that was a neat trick you pulled. Gear 4, right? Lemme show ya what I learned to do while thinking about splitting your skull"
Technically, due to the cover page, Moria is the only former Warlord who we haven't seen since Wano ended.And even then, we know Perona rescued him. The Warlords are still very relevant.
I have thought for a while that Doffy indeed cares for others but only as long as they care and are loyal to him and they don't challenge him and his mentality of himself. I think with Roci, because Doflamingo saw him as a traitor, someone who had actively betrayed him, it hurt him and because of that he had to kill him. Just as he did with his father. Doffy is very, very big on loyalty at least in those of the family. So that's why he ended up feeling like Roci had to die.
That is very true
Sea urchins are indeed very interesting. As a biologist, I know some information myself. They are related to starfish and sea cucumbers. The tube feet you mentioned are water-filled, hollow muscle tubes that can be extended and move in every direction by contracting and relaxing the muscles as well as pumping more or less water into the tube feet. The tube feet also have a suction cup at the end. The spikes can also move. They have a mouth made up of five tooth plates. They are bilaterally symmetrical (they have a front, a back, a left, and a right side) like most animals as a larva (yes, they do have a larval stage) but become radially symmetrical (they do not have a front, a back, a left, or a right side) as an adult.
I still find it interesting that none of the Celestial dragons have yet shown to be using a Devil fruit despite it pretty clear they can afford it.
Tears of the Kingdom is super fun. I'm just happy there's a recipe system now, but there's a lot of great additions on top of that.
👀 the new Paraglider
If only we don't have a gigantic horizontal list for fusing though. They could have had a similar list that the other menu have. It wouldn't be a clean look but at least a functional one. The sorting option only does so much.
@@goldmemberpb or they could leave us with that, but also give us a favorites menu underneath it
24:44 "That's right, you're not dealing with the average Tenryūbito warrior anymore, Frieza... I, Don Flamingo, have finally become... the legendary Super Tenryūbito!!!!"
We need a What If video of Doflamingo being raised up in Marijoa. Would he be one of the next Gorosei? Or would he become the next Charlos?
I'm sure there was a lot of us who suggested urchin facts but gosh did it put a smile on my face knowing that I suggested them and Tekking chose to do a segment on them 😁
Mermaid Man “EVIL !!!”
- Vergo was confirmed to have died along with Monet on Punk Hazard, but as for a future cover story I see it focusing on Bon-chan’s escape plan where in behind the scenes there will be hints of Doflamingo escaping then later appearing at the final battle
Surprised we got a video today
Being evil also doesn’t necessarily make you a heartless person
I am so proud I suggested urchins before he said urchin. I don't care if I was the reason he chose them or not. I feel accomplished.
I love how I am so dumbfounded in some of your intros, there's always a hook to it. It's adorkable.
Fun factsss
Dofy has the Best Walk style in the Seriesss
My headcannon of Doffy is he's like super into nature.
Doffy loves his family, among most treble, his adopted father in some sense. Extending that family love to a bird that finds itself out of its element, like he did when he was young, doesnt seem too far out of the realm of possibility. In so acting as treble did to him in his youth
as of chapter 1081, Garp was seen using the attack known as "Blue Hole". what might not have been known is that this attack was in fact infused with blue haki. the only known being that could have taught Garp how to use blue haki is Imu (Arlong the Sea Devil), this means that Money D. Garp is training under Arlong and is learning the ways of blue haki
I know people are hoping and praying for an all Warlord crew with the Cross Guild, but I’ll be honest… Doflamingo really has NO redeemable qualities as a character.
His ally with anyone would just feel off, I’d rather him return to the story to die in a fitting way.
If Tsuru was able to use her Clean-Clean DF on him to have him attain some more humanity and positive characteristics..
That would be the only plausible way for him to become less evil and have any sort of redemption arc
It all depends on if Oda~sensei wants to use Doffy as an insturmental piece of The Final War Arc since Doffy knows all about Mariejois’ National Treasure and was able to go to Imu~sama to get the newspapers to state he left the Warlords when he never did
@@Mizikame In an SBS, it was said a truly evil person would require repeat washings to cleanse them. Lord knows how long it would take for Doflamingo. Start with the filthiest black sock, and turn it into a pristine white.
Love the video and keep up the great work tekking
A shining example of Donquixote Doflamingo's goodness was revealed in an SBS where it was revealed he rescued Monet & her sister Sugar from a terrible circumstance I would love to see that in a spin-off novel as the way that backstory is it would be too dark for a cover story
But did Doflamingo save them because he cared or because he could use them himself.
I never knew Monet & Sugar were sisters
Doflamingo is not like Crocodile. He cares about his subordinates. Those close to him respect him - not out fear like Crocodile.
Your story telling takes us on a journey of living the story. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Doflamingo wasn’t born evil. The thing he’s had to experience in life made him turn evil
Oh gosh, I just thought of this. Doflamingo and Lucci are bird bros now. Both are crazy strong, insane to different degrees and now have bird companions if Doffy takes the baby bird home with him.
I like to think those god knights are around doffys level or slightly above. I doubt they are on the admirals level because that would be insane and they'd win automatically but doffy is more of a good level of strong but not over the top as I'm sure the celestial dragons would bring them everywhere or call them instead of admirals
Though they would be insane having op fruits when using the fruits for entertainment too
Admiral level atleast
@@AlMamun-ik3tz I'd say below admiral but above vice admiral as admirals would make sense to send being stronger when Luffy punched out charloss.
They wouldn't. Because the Admirals are for going out into the world to do their job. And you even have times like Marineford when you need all of them together in a single place.
The Gods Knights are specifically a defense and judiciary branch for the Celestial Dragons. They not only keep order evidently, but also solve disputes. They would also be the heavy hitters of the Upper World.
The point would be that you shouldn't leave the Holy Land unprotected. The reason it wouldn't make sense to send them out, is because you're sending the Admirals out. The World Government might be arrogant, but they haven't existed for centuries by being stupid and assuming they're untouchable just because they're at the top of the Redline.
@@AlMamun-ik3tz Admiral level is still ridiculous. How many characters do we know of that might feasibly go toe to toe with an admiral (or win against one)? Like 15? The emperors, mihawk, the actual admirals, implied garp and sengoku, rayleigh, roger, oden, yamato. Maybe sanji and zoro if we're pushing it? That's still only 20.
I also thought the cover is a bit similar to Monet & her relation to Doflamingo. Monet, obviously having links to birds, was rescued by Doflamingo from a terrible environment. Yeah…
Man, I liked Monet…
Yeah, Monet was pretty cool
I actually have a fun urchin fact, some types of sea urchins will wear rocks as hats. you can find pictures online of urchins wearing small hats people made for them including cowboy hats, it’s amazing.
Didn't know UA-cam showes "34 seconds ago" as the time of upload. I have never been that early to any video and it joys me that it happened on this very channel right here.
Just saying that the doflamingo family had 4 children (1 baby) in their ranks
Doflamingo was more emphatic than he lets on
Hey Tekking! Its really cool that you made a video on the Doflamingo art request. Im glad my comment didn't come off as condescending. Felt a bit awkward telling the guy who talks about a series for a living that he didn't catch something about one of the characters lmao 🤣
Everyone thinking Doffy will be with Cross Guild, but having him connected to the world government and the Holy Knights feels a lot more interesting.
I know my opinion will get me strung up but doflamingo is my favorite character so it’s nice to see a video on him
The bady bird is now an honorary member of doffys family
Day 8: In honor of the deceased Vice Admiral T-Bone, you should do a video on what if each member of the straw hat WAS A MARINE, up to current storyline. For example, instead of Devil Chid Nico Robin hopping from Pirate Crew to Pirate crew, she runs into GARP, who does for her when Sengoku does for Corazon, hidden identity and all
I agree that Katakuri would definitely beat Doffy. Although in his defense when he fought Luffy, Law had already used gamma knife to shred his insides. Which is a tad bit gnarlier than the 🔱
I love Doflamingo as a villain cuz he has a gray area of evil, much like all one piece characters. I truly hated him for what he did to dressrosa but also feel for him as you say when he had to kill his only brother.
Can't wait to see what he does in the final war
If we have the comparisons of some elements of One Piece to Norse Myth, I'd like to compare Doflamingo to Nidhogr. Doflamingo has always been somebody who inhabits the "underworld" and "gnaws at the roots of the world." I bet Doflamingoes' role is going to be that of somebody who breaks out all the former villains of One Piece and rides with them into the final battle.
Now that I think about it, Doffy's would be assassin would have to be God's knight/Holy knight and they'd have to be rank of Tenryuobito. "Normal" humans aren't allowed to harm Heavenly dragons and they are above all laws. Even though Doflamingo is technically former member, the dragons might not like it assassins go around killing them. It's kinda like historical feudal structure. Only your peers or people above you can judge you. So if Doffy is to die by will of Imu or even the Tenryubito themselves, it can't be some some WG or Marine branch doing it.
Thank you for the video! I always enjoy watching your videos!
I know this off topic but one of the gods knights members looks like jaguar D Saul
You beat me to it 🤣
The difference between empathy and sympathy. Empathy says "I know how you feel, therefore I help you." Sympathy says "I know how I felt when I went through something similar, therefore I help me."
Maybe Magellan tries to defend doflamingo and that’s how he survives
In another universe, Sugar would have a top job at Playtime Co
Symbolism rocks even I hadn't considered that angle awesome tekking
I would actually argue that he doesnt care for the Doflamingo Family, he likes them because theyre loyal to him and useful. They are his twisted idea if what a family should have been, but when it comes down to it he will sacrifice them for himself and would not do the reverse
It's not healthy when one family member is considered the most valuable and the rest are subordinates
First off, I'm surprised it took you this long to realize this about the fan request. For Rosi, it was sad, however he was placed in a tight spot. His brother, whom he loved dearly, betrayed him and lied to him. Doffy is just the type not to forgive people.
Second, the pink light has Tekking looking hot asf.
this comment makes me simultaneously laugh and mad
@@mateo-nw7ou 😂😂😂.. That's the point?? Idk 🤷🏽♂️.
24:04 well, actually that would add up considering previous events in the story. We saw first hand that when a warlord of the sea is locked up in Impel Down they get a Zenkai boost style power-up, like what happened with Crocidile. He was kinda weak before his defeat but when he broke out, he was shown to be comparable to haki users.
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH TEKKING VIDEO, you know its going to be a good rest of the day :)
Tekking can you do a game review or even retrospective on one of your favorite games
Doflamingo really went “that me frfr”
What Doffy proves is that Celestial Dragons can be pirates common people etc. Even Vivi proves this. Which backs up the theory of Shanks being a Celestial Dragon.
Shanks was confirmed a figurland celestial dragon in some media leading up to the release of film red.
as we know, Zoro is a user of Green Haki, he had a green aura around him and his blades as seen in episode 1059. this had lead me to believe that this was Zoro's ace card. But as of my most recent interview with Eichiro Oda, he has informed me that that aura wasn't JUST green haki. That's right, Broly from Dragonball has taught Zoro how to go Super Saiyan and how to infuse his green haki into this new form when Zoro got lost and found himself in the Dragonball Universe. This also would mean that Broly is a user of green haki as well as Gaimon and Dragon. If Zoro and Broly were to preform fusion, this would mean the end of the world and potentially have the power to take down Arlong the Sea Devil A.K.A. Imu A.K.A .Luffy's Mother.
so…. true?
I feel like Doffy needs to join Cross Guild
10 doflamingos would definitely be strong enough to matter. I don't really get why the God's knights would have to be shanks level. tbh I think that would be a massive let down because it kills the hype oda has built for shanks over 25 years
Jokes aside though, all forms of evil exhibited by an individual have an origin if one traces things back far enough. When one understands the root of a person’s evil intent, it becomes much more clear why they do what they do, even if it seemed like the product of pure insanity before.
Doflamingo blames all his early-life problems on his family, so he got rid of them and built a family that, in his eyes, wouldn’t ruin his life- starting with the person who gave him purpose and direction at his lowest point, Trebol. Trebol fires off lots of BS all the time, but Doflamingo is unbothered by it; that’s his family, his chosen family no less, and no one touches them.
Doffy’s built the kind of family he wishes he always had- one that doesn’t fail him, doesn’t put him in danger, and doesn’t betray him (since anyone who does just gets merc-ed instantly 😅). So then, he turns to his second goal: control everything, so that he never feels powerless again.
I think it's more likely Doflamingo has an ally within the God's knights or even his knowledge and charisma is enough to sway a god knight to his side rather than Doffy fighting to escape impel down. If Vergo survived that explosion his full body armament haki would have finally been useful for something. Where does Kong fit into all this?
Evil people dont see themselfs as evil, simply they see themselfs as doing the correct thing.
Worst people in one piece:
1. Doffy
2. Caesar
3. Enel
4. Blackbeard
Doffy would kill Celestial Dragon at the end of the story not all of them but a good chunk
I remember another person in that mob said that his children were 5 and 3 and they were playing and they ran in front of a CD and the noble killed them even though they were only children
I am glad that Viola didn't get Pregnant, Imagine having to carry Doffy's Kid, that would have been bad, unless Viola tried to ensure the kid was good, At least Doffy used Protection during his nights with Viola
Virgo died in the explosion, he is classed as deceased on wiki.
I think Diamante is dead too or at least in a coma and Paralyzed he must have suffered some Spinal damage when he hit Scarlets grave.
Do you think he can make a string condom at will?
Doflamingos design is just too cool for him to lose relevance.
I, for one, would find it absolutely hilarious if Doffy was actually really kind to specifically animals and just not people 🤣 “people are scum, animals are just minding their own business”
After this I think the god knights were the ones that gave doffy the order to kill Moria
the way he says Viola physically hurts
Your intros are always funny🔥
Thing is... a holy knight might be stronger than Doflamingo... But Doflamingo is crafty, smart and evil, I wouldn't be surprised if he could outsmart a holy knight.
I think he might get rescued from Impel Down by Croco boy and Mihawk, and join them. No big reason why, it just crossed my mind while listenning to this.
Can't wait to see what the animals are for the letters V, W, X, Y, and Z.
Lol I had the exact same reaction to the cover page, I thought it was just fun for him to draw it because of contrast
doffy fell on his head and is now pure of heart
love TotK i already played around 15h yesterday and today
I feel like the God's Knights being at a level that is above Dolflamingo's but below King/Katakuri's level would make sense. If they were admiral or yonko level, the power balance would be really skewed since from the silhouette there were quite a few of them.
but Doflamingo has AWAKENED devil fruit
I would love to have the time to write this, but an Isekai where the MC wakes up in the body of Doflamingo, and has to deal with the fall out of that while also trying to survive and become a great pirate because they where a big One Piece fan. Because while not the best fruit the string fruit is one hell of a powerful fruit.
i know i've heard you swear before but why did it through me off when you said "That kind of shit" lol
9:24 why was that sound so good lmao
Doflamingo is definitely my favourite villain in One Piece. He has probably has the best laugh in all of One Piece and is very calculating. Besides the other Tenryūbito he has probably the most despicable character with what Sugar's fruit does to people alone.
There are probably 19 'gods knights' you know one for each of the families that moved to the top of the red line.
I like to think Barry is the one who makes all the sets for Tekking and whenever Tekking grabs an additional mini or something for the set its just him going off script.
The best villains are the ones that think they're doing the right thing, and the irredeemable ones. Frieza and doffy are my favorite villains in anime for those reasons
Oda loves his sets of three
Imu - Executive
Gorosei - Legislative
God's Knight - Judicial
Just an errant thought I wanted to share
The channel called “The Vile Eye” should do a video on Doflamingo
You got the new LOZ AND made a video? Mad respect. I wanna call out of work so bad lmao
Tekking please do a video for Sir Crocodile
Please I begging you 🙏
