When you mentioned the irony of Doffy being the first casualty in the new age I almost fell out my chair. FIRE

The fact that Doflamingo welcomed the chaos of the new era and even foresaw it but did not foresee that as the one holding the reigns and webs in everything he would be the one to initiate the age of the new era chaos, crazy cool detail I never thought about

Damn so many details I missed! Great Job on this analysis! Worth the wait!

It's videos like this that remind me why One Piece is pure GREATNESS.

That parallel between Enel and Doflamingo is something that never ocurred to me. You really are amazing at finding out such details!

I’ve said this for years. Dressrosa is a parallel to what happened in the Void Century. This arc is so underrated. I’ve gained a greater appreciation of your channel for also noticing these things.

Yoo pleaseeee do every arc. Your analyses are extremely engaging. Would love to hear Arcs like Impel Down, MarineFord or Enies lobby from your Style.

Perfect analysis. i realized some things about dressrosa even if i don't know how that incorporate into a greater theme, but for exemple until recently i never noticed that Kyros, during his flashback when he was a criminal and was freed by Riku, was still saw bad by Dressrosa people for a moment and was saying "why can't i be forgotten", and Oda brought the reverse of the medal with that in the present by having Kyros turning into a toy and so being indeed forgotten, showing that it's not something you might really want.

Dressrosa is super underrated because of its length. There is so much to love about it. Great video as always.

Another thing regarding Doflamingo's obsession with having control of everything is that for a large part of his life, Doflamingo had no control over his destiny. His parents stripped him of his godhood and forced him to live among the common folk. But after he obtained the Ito-Ito No Mi and became a Shichubukai, now he able to seek the control that he so desperately desired.

Wow, I really have to say that your arc analyis videos make me appreciate the arcs even more and I am always surprised how many things I myself missed when I read them. And when you bring up all the symbolism and plot details I once more realize what a genius Oda is when it comes to storytelling.

What i find interesting about this arc is it feels like a "what if Crocodile succeeded arc" Cause it has a ton of similarities to the alabasta arc and Crocodile and Donflamingo had close to the same goals but Donflamingo actually succeeded. Both were trying to over the country, frame the king and cause a rebellion but only Don succeeded of course. Plus both are or were obviously warlords doing this. So this does feel like a alternate version of alabasta where no one got there in time to save it.

That's why I never complained about how long Dressrosa was.It set up so many elements for the future while displaying a replica of what the battle against the world government would be about thematically.

Damn I loved dress rosa. The battle royale, Sabo, sugar and the toys, fujitora, senior pink and so many more. Probably one of my favorite arcs in one piece.

Mr Morj, making every OP Tuber look like untalented hacks. I love it😁

Morj you must have a doctorate in One Piece Studies. Like seriously man how much research does it take for these vids? much appreciated. The parallel between Enel and Doflamingo is genius! I love the connection with Luffy being gods natural enemy. Just amazing seriously.

This video gave me chills. Dressrosa is way better than I originally thought. Amazing work as always Morj.

Hands down one of my favorite arcs!

Mr.morj taking the game by storm!!!! THE GOAT.

This Analysis is Goat.

Holy crap it feels good to get a notification from the GOAT Mr. Morj. Quality over Quantity on this channel, Great video as always we appreciate it bro!

This is Morj's best video to date

This is the best One Piece channel. period. the fact that is hasn't more views on a well made video like this is a damn CRIME. please reupload/remake this video once you've grown considerably and I know you will if you keep up the good content.

I thought you were gone. Thank goodness.

Also... this video is god tier, Dressrosa was already my favorite arc in One Piece but GOD DAMN this video just catapulted it’s greatness

I just noticed something ... The SAD Factory in Punk Hazard and the SMILE factory in Dressrosa make up the word SAD SMILE. And thats what happens to the people like O-Toko, Killer and the Pleasures. They eat the SMILE fruits they don't gain powers and they end up with permanent SAD SMILES.

The speech Doffy had about him holding the reins keeping the monsters in check really set his importance in the One Piece world and possibly the only true warlord of the 7 warlords. Also his motives why he is so manipulative are well detailed His father took him from "heaven", without explaining why The regular citizens tried to kill him, without him knowing why

OMFG YES! THIS IS LIKE MY CRACK FIX

Your vision of Oda's work is God class. You see what he is trying to say and portray better than a lot of people doing this. Great work

I didn't think you'd make analysis videos about old arcs. What a pleasant surprise!

Fantastic once again. I'm planning on rereading Dressrosa (including Punk Hazard, as it should) and this analysis provided me with a newfound appreciation for this arc that I personally underappreciated, and having a new perspective on it will definitely make re-reading more enjoyable.

There are many understandable reasons why people don't like a lot of Dressrosa, but damn it if it isn't still impressive for the sheer amount of planning and ideas that went into it.

Dressrosa was a pretty solid arc, people just wanna treat Oda like he is some robot. Slowing down the arc doesn't mean that he is not doing his best, it just means that this is the best that he could do in balancing the issues of the real world and the story. Oda is not in perfect health, so that would mean that he needs to keep his energy for the strong moments where it is required a great thought process and imagination. Imagine yourself writing this entire story, and having to do it while you are sick, AND put up with Shounen Jump's high standarts, AND deal with the complaints of the fans? Most of us would not be able to endure this. In fact, Oda is probably the only one who can achieve this somehow. And how does he do it? Well, breaks are one of the ways, but slowing down the arc a little is probably the other. This is like a fight to him. No one writes a manga without effort. Just as how Luffy never gets out clean out of his big fights. And don't think that Oda is not aware of what is happening, the man had in mind how One Piece will end since he first started the series 21 years ago, so why do you think that he is not aware of some small issues in pacing in a relatively medium long arc compared to what's to come in Wano and the final war at the end of the series. Yes, Oda being in bad health doesn't make the arc better but also does not validate the billion complaints every day of him.

There's also another way Dressrosa represents all of One Piece! It's long.

Finally a video from Mr.Morj

I know no one who can see through one piece's story better than mr. morj This makes me really appreciate the series even more. Oda is really pure genius encapsulating all these ideas.

Now i want a Marineford and Ennies Lobby arcs analysis.

Another masterpiece, as usual. 👌

Haven't even watched it yet but I liked the vid cos I know it will be good

god damn, you can call it sugarcoating and exaggerating, but the way you word your analysises along with absolutely PERFECT sybolic images from the manga, anyone would be convinced ex: "the underground toy factory is like a web" (i never even thought of it that way) ex: "doflamingo essentially gets to play god" shows picture of innocent citizens with a web in the background, with doflamingo above all that. ex: "doflamingo symbolizes both god...." picture of doflmingo bright and cheery, relaxing, women all around him "....and the devil" picture of doflamingo amonst collapsed warriors, blood dripping off his strings. as black goku woul day: *_S U B A R A S H I_*

Don't get me wrong, I like other KZfaqrs and their theorycrafting, but i enjoy how your speculation is usually not as outlandish, a bit more conservative, and really considers the themes Oda is trying to portray.

you showed me a perspective on arc that I've never seen before! Damm man another fantastic video

I really like the fact that your arc analyses don't seem to shove some opinion down my throat how I should feel about an arc or how i should rate it. After watching the video, I don't feel like you're telling me "Dressrosa is so underrated and you just don't like it because you can't see the bigger picture and you're opinion is trash". You just present a viewpoint on an arc that some people may not have gotten before. How I incorporate that viewpoint into my enjoyment/rating of the arc still feels up to myself, which is great. Often I feel like some people with their "This arc is good and you have to like it" videos are trying too hard to force people to like it, even if they have valid points. Regarding the video: Fantastic job, as always. (btw I have been binge watching all your videos last week and wanted to thank you for your great effort and keeping me entertained while the manga is on break :)) Doflamingo has been one if not my favourite character in the series since his introduction and a lot of that has to do with the points you mention in this analysis. I just always felt like he was the only person in the One Piece universe who understood how the world works. Like you mentioned, he seemed like the person in the shadows pulling the strings which lead the main story. This comes back in Dressrosa which shows us that basically his entire life was a replica of the major themes Oda has been going with his story/his main villain the world government. Compared to almost all other characters and villains, he always felt and certainly is just so much more multidimensional, which made me love him from the get go. Still, Dressrosa surely has its major flaws and I'm sure you also have your negative opinions on the arc. It had absolutely phenomenal highs, but pretty critical lows in my opinion, which is just a shame since it always made me unsure if I should like the arc or not lol. But nobody can deny that its importance for the overall story is crucial, which of course doesn't guarantee a great enjoyment while reading an arc, especially weekly. Now since this analysis didn't seem very opinion driven and more on the analytical side, I couldn't really tell how much you actually liked the arc overall. Which made me realize that I would love some kind of arc ranking by you. You seem to appreciate the One Piece arcs on more layers than just the basic "how cool is the villain, how sad is the backstory" level. I know rankings aren't your content at all but I'm really interested in your opinion on certain arcs and what makes you like/dislike them. Of course it doesn't have to be a video, I'm totally up for reading an essay or something like that :) I hope I didn't overwhelm you with my long ass comment, but I just wanted to write down some things that went through my head after watching the video and I just love talking about One Piece. Don't overwork yourself with your business and KZfaq and take all the time you need for your videos. It's absolutely worth it and I will gladly wait half a year or more for one of your spicy analyses :]

Best one piece analysis channel! I love this channel

Saying that for all hell to break loose, the one controlling the strings should be the first one to go made me shiver. Your analysis is criminally good.

Dude these videos are OUTSTANDING!! HOLY SHIT MAN! The amount of love, craft, and story you weave and create with these video discussions are on point! BRAVO!

On a different I watch someone once commented that Sunflowers help with air cleaning of polluted air and can grow in places of radiation in the soil/ground...which after I remember when you showed the Sunflower fields Dressrosa had...beautiful flowers which are more connected to the Sun or light but can grow in tainted/poison soil really shows what Dressrosa was on the outside and inside under Doffy's Rule...

Dressrosa is a really great arc (8/10) that gets to much unfair criticism. It has flaws for sure but the qualities of the arc completely overshadowed its problems. I think the fans start getting arc fatigue because how long the arc has but we need to remember that while this arc was 100 chapter long we experience like it was 120-130 chapters because this was the arc where Oda start taking consistent breaks.

13:46 The parallel between Doffy and Im-sama I SEE IT NOW. What a genius move of Oda, foreshadowing us the end of One Piece by the exposure of Imu-sama's regime only to be beaten by Luffy. I think/hope there's an actual deep connection between Doflamingo and Imu

Oh shit you changed your profile pic seriously this channel has been starting to look way more professional lately and I find Dressrosa to be the most interesting arc in one piece so I'm kinda hyped for this video EDIT: really nice video but you didn't bring up one of the biggest themes in the arc that is to say the theme of "memory" which I found really interesting on a reread and would fit neatly into the point you were trying to make with this video like comparing how the world government and Dressrosa deal with making people forget about the past

This arc will always be a top 5 in the series for GO D. USOPP alone

Dude, you are the first youtube channel that I've actually gone and binged. Your material is incredible, and you really understand this series in a very core way. Kudos.

I was thinking a few days ago about a MrMorj dressrossa vid and how necessary it is. Thank you again for enlightening the community.

Incredible analysis, I can appreciate Dressora way more than before now. You're one of the best One Piece analysis on KZfaq

Thanks so much for posting. I only recently found your channel but love how indepth your analysis are. I really didn't realize how close the events of dressrosa so closely parallel the main story of one piece with respect to the WG and the celestial dragons. Keep up the great work!

masterpiece again

Best OP channel hands down.

I love it, Love the work you do, I will always point to your videos if someone asks me about OP, smooth flow voice work and great simple presentation of ideas, I cannot wait to see what Oda will give us in the future but I hope you will be there with us, explain, linking plots and reminding us what has come and what is still to come! Thank you Mr Morj, here's to a great 2019 and more One Piece to come!

As always, the imagery accompanying the video is awesome!! Thanks for putting so much effort in it

One of the many appealing aspects in your videos is the music you put in. I simply love it. Keep up your good work!

Mr.Morj is my favorite one piece KZfaqr to underrated . I wish I could see him , best guy, and craft dwarf in a stream all together .

Yess I’m glad your back!!!! Keep up the great work

Yet another brilliant video. Thank you!

I've always maintained that the D initial of the D Clan could stand for Devil among other things as they are God's natural enemy.

Your analysis of Doflamingo was one of the greatest one piece analysis‘ on KZfaq. Love your channel

Morj is an absolute genius when it comes to analyzing One Piece. He really deserves all the praise and glory he gets from the work he puts into his videos. Also. There's only one way how he would know everything...he's actually Im-Sama. It all makes sense.

I was looking forward for another analysis video..... you’re amazing man

My boy always with the big picture! Loved the vid dude

great work once again, your arc analysis videos are some of the most well made OP videos on youtube

We need more analysts in the community. Mr Morj and Craftsdwarf are the only two of the ones i follow regularly but most of other youtubers are reviewers or wannabe critics. I sometimes watch tekking coz his videos are entertaining and informative. Grandline reviewer, Kol and grandlive chronicles are worth checking out too.

I just wanna say that I found your channel recently, I'm binging your videos. I love them. Thank you.

"bearing the tragedies of many upon his shoulders" Everyone on luffys crew has a tragic backstory and luffy only ever gets involved in conflict when someone he cares for is hurt by it,,,,,,Oda is a genius

Man, you made me love op and doffy even more

What an incredible revelation....the realization of Dressrosa being the story of one piece in miniature was truly mind blowing

Excellent video, as always!

Man I loved this vid. I love the discussions of story way more than I do those of fights alone

These videos are so fucking well put together damn!! I’m so excited for future videos

Your contact is fantastic. I didn’t really like Dressrosa but this is the first video about it that has me genuinely looking at it in a different way.

Man man man, such dedication. Loved every part of it.

Wow. That's so cool! Never realize the parallel.. Thanks for pointing that out!

Your my go to One Piece guy. Thank you, the work you do is AMAZING

Bruh, you really snapped on this video damnit! This is beautiful

………yeah. This guy has his head on straight. The level of analysis Mr. Morj provides on his videos is something I have not seen before. Like, frick.

Best One Piece KZfaq channel, by miles lol. Your videos are heaven sent. Keep up the amazing work you are doing. Big like

10 minutes in and this is already one of favorite youtube videos ever because it explains everything I love about Dressrosa

Wow even though I had my problems with the arc I knew it was a very important one for one piece. It showed off all the players in the world and how they affect each other but this vid made me appreciate it so much more. Great work

This was a great analysis man. Loved the correlating themes. These videos help me so much in my own work you have no idea. Oda is the GOAT. Keep it up man.

Dang... this is some really impressive work you've done.

Ive never thought about it that way, but thank you for clarifying the bigger box picture of the complicated but interesting themes of dress rosa

Enjoyed the analysis, chief. Keep em coming

Ooo baby. A Morj upload always makes for a good time.

Do more of those! I like how you analyse the motivations, behaivor and designs of characters, the worldbuilding of arcs and taking a look at details we never noticed.

Fantastically constructed video, great job!!

Great exposition. You're becoming my favorite OP youtuber :)

You make the best One Piece content on the platform. Great job!

More videos just like this. Loving the way you present your findings.

Your videos help me think about One Piece a lot more critically. So goood!!

The heavenly demon is still one of my favourite characters in One piece.

Really awesome character analysis on Doflamingo, I never realized all those parallels and symbolic elements.

Ive just started reading Dressrosa so far and I’m loving the fact that there’s so much stuff happening all at once I just love story telling like that
