I know it took forever to get to this fight, but I'm kinda glad it took so long? Because with every other fight out of the way we can focus on the epicness of Gear 4, and man is it cool. So glad to be here with you in these eps!

LEZZGOOO GEAR 4TH!!!
Cabbage became one of my favorite characters here in Dressrosa. I agree with you how the side characters are not only side characters, they got depth and complexity with them.
I think it's very common for a shonen animanga to create side characters and use them as a plot device only. I mean, nothing's wrong with that. But with Oda, you can see how he really took time and effort to develop his side characters--giving them interesting quriks, morals, and some even have backstories. And yes, that's why they feel more real because all of Oda's characters are very three dimensional.
Another thing I love about Oda is the way he uses his characters. Like for example--Mr. 3. After the Little Garden arc, I thought we will never see him again. He seems like a very disposable character for me. But boom! Marineford happened and he became the key (literally) in freeing Ace. And I love how Oda put some depth in it too. Mr. 3 helped Luffy because he witnessed Bon Clay's sacrifice. It's one of those small moments that hits deep--just like how Cavendish refusing to leave Law.
Oda's such a genius storyteller.
Thank you Lok for noticing these tiny details too! Enjoyed your reactions as always!

I would be shocked and appalled if there was anyone out there that actually liked Trebol lol π€£π€£Also finally GEAR 4 HYPE!!!! Yeah annoyingly, anytime a popular anime has a major power up or character death, it's quite hard to avoid spoilers for it unless you literally live under a rock without technology and don't interact with anyone lol
