"A man doesn't run from a fight" or something. Pink isn't running anywhere. I think the DD members that aren't DD or the top 3 are actually OK people. Honourable I'd say.

At a personal level some of the members are nice people (I don't quite agree that all of them, top 3 and DD excepted are OK people. Sugar especially seems cruel.). However, they are still complicit in the subjugation and oppression of an entire country. They basically worship Doflamingo, and would do anything for him no matter how much it goes against their regular behaviour.

As with everything in one piece, there's probably a good reason for that though. In the case of baby 5 for example, we can imagine how hard it must have been to be treated as something unwanted her entire life up until the point where she enters the DD family. DD himself goes out of his way to kill all her "boyfriends" for example. There's some fucked up shit in the DD family for sure but I think that there's also a lot of humanity in the crew.
I mean senor pink, up until now, is easily straw hat material.
It's definitely not white and black, it's tough to take a stance. the top 3 seem cruel and DD in some ways seems to be both better and worse than them. i can definitely appreciate appreciable enemies, so to say. Oda is a god.

I want Senior Pink to win the fight so badly, this guy is too awesome to be beaten.
|
just wanted to ask,anybody here own/played onepiece unlimited world red on wii u? is it completely non canon or are the characters in it considered canon but the events transpiring in the game only as non canon?
because they inrroduced a character named redfield.
my brother and i are just about an hour into the game but i find it fun and engaging at least. not as polished as arkham city during battles but it works alright to me.

He isn't running, he's swimming!

I think Senor Pink would break into tears if Franky would call the Shogun Franky*, plowing through the ruins, and then dances as giant robot franky. I know I would cry joyfully if that happened.
*shogun and general are the 2 most likely translations, I like prefer shogun though.

+ Show Spoiler + Imagine how awesome Luffy's crew would be if this was it. Although they'd pretty much be on Yonko level so I guess it would be pretty boring. Speaking of which, who else thinks Kaido is going to be a 3v1?

Really, am I the only one disgusted by this chapter?
he then wifes her, because she is "convenient". Although there might have been some loss of information due to translations, I am not happy in any way with Sai getting the cute Baby 5 right after slapping her hard in the face -.-

Pretty sure he's making her his wife to keep her from others abusing her obsession with being helpful. That was also what he smacked her for. But the bastard had to make it even worse for the poor girl and married her.

I would slap anyone trying to kill themselves when I'm close, regardless of gender (assuming that's your point) Where did you see marrying here for convenience?
http://www.mangareader.net/one-piece/771/18
The only reference i could find to her being convenient is the one in this page (middle panel), but I interpret that as being said by lao G. Sai's reaction seems to me a rejection of the words spoken in mentioned panel.
|
well if she was going to kill herself maybe a nice slap would have been justified? that's kind of dark/serious
|
I do know that she was in need of a push away from the thing she was doing. But you don't slap a young woman. And slapping someone with zero confidence in the face is a really heavy hit to come back from mentally. Well in real life anyways. In One Piece she is happy and smiling and fully in love with that ... in the next panel.
|
That's machismo playing its cards! No problem when young men are slapped, but when a young woman is, everyone needs to justify it.
|
Trying to kill her is fine, slapping her is not fine. Ok...I'm not sure I understand the reasoning behind this.
|
if you want to argue Baby5's character is a poor portrayal of females, sure, there's room for argument.
but I don't see your current argument having much point. First of all, she was already smiling and in love before the slap, when about to kill herself, so there's not really any change in her character before and after. Second, I think you missed the largest point where he slapped her gun, you know, the thing that she was going to use to kill herself. It wasn't only a direct slap to the face, although he probably did some physical damage too, to be fair. The word "things" is supposed to be referring to her gun, with an implication of "enough with this idea of suicide." And as already mentioned, he was trying to kill her a few extra moments ago, which I think is worse than a slap, and she was already in love with him then too.

Slapping is a form of sexual discrimination. Would he slap a man? No. It's clear he was objectifying her as a sex object by being unwilling for her to make her own decisions. The only reason he saved her was because he wanted to "marry" her ergo - take advantage of. For all intents and purposes this is rape as she could not resist him. He basically raped her by stopping her from killing herself. I can't believe Oda would write such misogynistic garbage.
