History YMMV / OnePieceDressrosaArc

* CompleteMonster: [[Characters/OnePieceDonquixoteDoflamingo Donquixote Doflamingo]], the boss of fellow monster [[Recap/OnePiecePunkHazardArc Caesar Clown]], is steadily revealed as the [[ItsAllAboutMe epitome of selfish egomania]] whose own brother describes as having been born an evil madman, despite his servants' UndyingLoyalty towards him. In the guise of "Joker," Doflamingo is a mover and shaker in the criminal underworld where he participated in a slave trade for the pleasure of the corrupt Celestial Dragons. When conquering his old kingdom of Dressrosa, Doflamingo enslaved the people by turning many into toys and making their loved ones forget them, and [[FrameUp framing]] the good-hearted King Riku Dold by forcing him to attack the people he loved so much to make Doflamingo a "hero" for removing him. It is also revealed he planned to brainwash Trafalgar Law into being his loyal slave who would gladly trade his life to give Doflamingo immortality, executing his own brother Rocinante when Rocinante tried to save Law. In his crowning moment of evil, Doflamingo attempted to [[RazorFloss massacre everything in Dressrosa]], [[BadBoss his own men included]], gleefully proclaiming he would just find a new country and "family." Even upon his defeat, all Doflamingo cares about is seeing the news so he can appreciate the chaos the world is thrown into by recent events.

** Complaints about Robin’s under-utilization reached a head in this arc where half the crew is elsewhere. She doesn't get a victory against the Donquixote Family (Luffy obviously defeats ArcVillain Doflamingo, Zoro cuts down the mountain-sized Pica, Usopp awakens Observation Haki to stop Sugar, and Franky defeats Señor Pink to initiate the overthrow of the factory). Instead playing a support role throughout the arc, using her infiltration skills to make Sugar lose her senses, along with Usopp, fighting Gladius during the climax and protecting Rebecca.

* ArcFatigue: This arc was just over 100 chapters, making it the third longest arc in the entire series behind the Water 7-Enies Lobby Arc and Wano Arc. If you account for Oda's annual three week break and the month he took off due to his health deteriorating, that's equivalent to over ''two and a half years''. The anime is even worse, as Toei refuses to adapt more than one chapter per episode, meaning the arc dragged on TV for at least two years.

* ItsTheSameNowItSucks: Many fans cry foul at Dressrosa for having many similarities to [[Recap/OnePieceAlabastaArc the Alabasta arc,]] mainly because in both arcs the main antagonist is a Warlord and there's a princess among the allies. This is almost lampshaded by Smoker, who claims that Dressrosa's situation is what could have been of Alabasta had Crocodile's plan been succesful.
* ShockingMoments: The [[WhamEpisode whams]] of this arc: Ace's Devil Fruit! Big Mom coming for Ceaser! '''Sabo is alive!''' Bearers of the initial "D." are the enemies of the World Nobles! Gear Fourth! Fujitora giving the Straw Hats credit for stopping Doflamingo! The Straw Hat Grand Fleet!

** Law's flashback contains a suprising appearance by a young X. Drake, who is inadvertently responsible for allowing Law to escape Doflamingo.

** To drive the point home, it's extremely rare for a character's DarkAndTroubledPast to make them ''less'' sympathetic to the audience, but Doflamingo's arguably does just that.
