Base Design is a 10. Dragon design and Hybrid Design were both lacking imo
Df is awesome guys basically the Avatar in Dragon form.
I do quite like his fighting style as it truly varies depending on which form he's in. Good to see DF playing a major role in battles in OP again ya know? CoC leaking attacks great, Lifting Onigashima was great. He's been good for great visual moments in throughout the arc
He is menacing, still remember him one shotting Luffy that was pretty epic and those stills with him and Big Mom on the roof were great
The drunkedness made him goofier then I'd like
He needs a backstory because right now he's a contradiction. He's a tyrannical pirate captain who runs a meritocracy on his crew and refers to his top Brass as calamities... but he's got a secretary lol
He seemingly wants to die this Grand Epic death and become a legend but nearly every step he takes goes against having that sort of Legendary tale. Allying himself with Orochi, plotting to take out Oden, the weapons deal with Doffy, backstabbing Orochi, Allaince with BM etc he just constantly not doing epic shit. Like he doesn't truly understand why Roger and WB and Oden are considered the greats that they are. Right now he's shallow villain that hints at deeper undertones with his words.
I did love the moment of him taking out Orochi tho because I sure as hell wasn't expecting that, it also took place essentially the minute he realized Kanjuro didnt have any of Odens secrets, probably more of a coincidental timing thing but it still tracks with him being more then a dumb brute that some readers thinks he is. 25+ Years of Partnership snuffed out with one swing no hesitation. Good stuff
He has had some great lines so far so I wont complain about his dialogue. "What sort of King did you say you'd become? Boy?" "Little Pirate Games" "Death is what completes a man" etc But I do hate everytime him and Yamato speak to each other lol
His crew had amazing designs and dynamic BUT they haven't stuck the landing as myself and other seem to think they went down too easily. If they get up we can see more and may be satisfied.
All in all if I had to vote I'd give him a 7 rn with a chance to go up or down. Compelling enough backstory and great finally with Luffy and he might even scratch a 9. (I reserve 10s for Crocodile in Alabasta and Akainu in MarineFord, cant see him getting there) Could even drop to 5 if the backstory is lacking or he doesn't show me more.
I do think he gets unfairly judge by the community, his Arc isnt even done yet lol Let the man work ya'll!
