Verifiedmy heart breaks every time i get to these episodes... pun not intended. C&A
capiiii
I was sobbing when Corazon kept smiling even though he was covered in wounds just so Law would remember him that way instead of a scary face
nia_teppelin
It is so messed up how Doflamingo treats his own family like tools and seeing him pull the trigger on Corazon was hard to watch, but it makes Law's vendetta feel so much more personal now and the way the silence fruit was used to hide those final cries made the ending hit even harder than a normal death scene would
romani_274
The sound design in this episode was so smart because you could tell the exact second Corazon died when Law's screaming finally became audible to the enemies
leon
Corazon using those silence powers to let Law escape while he died was so brutal and the way the sound finally kicked back in for Law's crying was just devastating
hari_257
When I saw Law stuck in that treasure chest, just watching Corazon die in the snow, it totally shattered me. My mind immediately went to everything Law's done since, and it just makes his whole revenge against Doflamingo feel so incredibly earned.

Everything makes sense about why Law wants Doflamingo dead now and that sacrifice from Rosinante was the most selfless thing in this whole arc
finral_flyer
I never expected to care about Corazon this much and seeing Doflamingo shoot his own brother just made me hate him way more than I already did
iono_363
The stuff with Franky and the factory felt a bit slow compared to the huge reveal about Law's past but seeing Zoro deal with Pica kept the momentum going
raiju_rider
Doflamingo killing his own flesh and blood is next level evil, and Law carrying that burden for thirteen years just makes you want to see him get his revenge
charmy_chef
Pacing in Dressrosa is still kind of a crawl but hearing Law talk about Corazon and his vow made the wait for his backstory feel worth it
necrozma
Luffy just sitting there listening to Law open up about his trauma was such a good moment for their alliance and it really shows how much they trust each other now
vile_tyrant_juju
The reveal about Corazon being Doflamingo's younger brother was a massive shock and it really sets the stage for Law to finally get some closure in Dressrosa
geeta_360
Law dropping his guard and telling Luffy the truth about Corazon felt like a huge turning point for their relationship and the emotion in his voice was intense
dawn
I seriously felt for Law when he started talking about how Doflamingo murdered the person who saved his life and now his whole mission makes total sense
impa
Some of the scenes with Zoro and Pica felt like they were dragging a bit but the lore about the Donquixote brothers was enough to keep things interesting
jean_jester_110
The reveal that Corazon was Doflamingo's own brother actually changes everything because it makes Mingo look like even more of a monster for pulling that trigger

I am definitely going to miss the old opening song, but the new one has a decent rhythm that might grow on me after a few more episodes. The transition felt a bit sudden though
connie_comrade
The mention of Corazon changed the whole mood of the episode and seeing Law desperation to fulfill that old promise was a really heavy moment

Fujitora dropping a giant meteor on everyone is pure chaos and he seems way more reckless than a marine admiral should be with civilians around
EPISODE CONTEXT
Coming off the large-scale tactical chaos of the Colosseum fighters clashing with Doflamingo's forces and Pica's imposing threat, episode 686 deliberately downshifts into emotional territory — grounding the Dressrosa conflict in personal stakes rather than spectacle. It builds directly on the Law-Doflamingo tension that has simmered since the alliance formed, transforming it from a strategic rivalry into something far more visceral. This sets critical emotional groundwork for the climactic confrontations still ahead in the arc.
