The reveal about the toys being forgotten humans is genuinely haunting, especially when you realize how many people in that city are walking around without their loved ones and they don't even know it

Doflamingo appearing as the hero after he orchestrated the entire massacre of the citizens is pure evil and King Riku deserved so much better than being framed as a madman

The way the toys just disappear from everyone's memories is such a cruel power and it makes the Toy Soldier trying to protect Rebecca even more tragic because she has no idea who he is

Episode Context

Coming off the momentum of intense confrontations, including Sanji's clash with Doflamingo around Episode 655, Episode 659 deliberately pivots from action to exposition, filling in the critical backstory that gives the Dressrosa conflict its emotional stakes. The Thunder Soldier's account of King Riku's fall contextualizes the simmering tensions across every faction currently in play. This episode functions as a narrative fulcrum, ensuring the battles and betrayals that follow carry real weight and consequence.
