Lao G calling Baby 5 a convenient tool was so cruel but it made the kick from Sai feel way better when he sent that old man flying into the ground
mikau_281
My heart actually broke seeing Baby 5 as a kid being left behind in the mountains and then Sai came along and told her he needed her and it made me so happy
tellu
Baby 5 actually getting thrilled about Sai "needing" her to die for him really threw me for a loop; her warped idea of being useful is just heartbreaking, and honestly, a little disturbing to watch.
jiro_jolt_127
You can really tell the budget went up for Sai versus Lao G because those impact frames and the fluid motion were so good compared to the usual Dressrosa stuff
wallace
Don Chinjao getting in the way of the wedding only to get taken out by his own grandson felt like a classic way to end that family drama
soifong_stinger
Sai really took over as the new leader by standing up to his grandfather and that final kick against Lao G looked incredible
guimamada
My eyes were watering seeing little Baby 5 abandoned in the mountains just because she was useless and I am so happy Sai is actually treating her like a person now
luna_375
I honestly wasnt expecting to get hit with such a sad backstory for Baby 5 right in the middle of a fight and seeing her mom tell her she was a burden made me so upset and Sai turning it around and deciding to marry her while kicking Lao G across the map was such a great way to handle the situation
kageromaru
Lao G is a total weirdo with his joint pain gags but him powering up into that massive form actually made him seem like a real threat for a second there
lana
Sai literally kicked the soul out of Lao G and saved Baby 5 from herself in the same move so he is definitely the new leader of the Happo Navy now
thunderblight_ganon_298
I actually started crying when they showed Baby 5 as a kid being left alone in the woods because she was useless to her family and that explains her whole personality so well
midnightweeb
I was actually impressed by how much effort went into the art for Sai's drill kick because the way the colors changed made the blow against Lao G look so much heavier
ningyo_nemesis_48
It was so dark seeing Baby 5 ready to end it all just because someone asked, so Sai stepped in at the perfect time and that marriage turn was surprisingly wholesome
kofu_364
Baby 5 trying to kill herself just because someone told her to was really dark and it shows how messed up the Doflamingo family is
parella
I was not ready for Sai to actually step up and marry Baby 5 after that chaos and it makes me happy she has a real home now
takerofsouls321
Baby 5 being left in the woods as a kid explains why she is so desperate to be useful and it actually made her character make sense for once instead of just being a gag
oni_omega
The transition from the comedy of the accidental engagement to the absolute heartbreak of Baby 5 being abandoned as a child was handled surprisingly well, especially for this arc.
kami_kaze_80
Seeing the old man Chinjao get his drill head folded by his own grandson while they were arguing about Baby 5 was pure comedy and Sai is a legend for that move
pierce
Sai breaking the ground with his drill kick while fighting Lao G was such a cool visual and the way the animation stepped up made the whole fight feel much more important than the previous ones in Dressrosa and seeing Baby 5 finally find a man who won't just use her for his own gain was a really nice touch for her character
tokay
That drill kick from Sai that literally opened up the earth was easily the best thing in this episode and it was nice to see the animation look that good for once
EPISODE CONTEXT
Coming off the high-tension clash between Law and Doflamingo, episode 710 deliberately pulls back to the surrounding battles across Dressrosa, fleshing out the supporting cast caught up in the larger conflict. This character-focused detour deepens the sense of scale in the Dressrosa arc by showing how the war reshapes individual allegiances and identities. It sets groundwork for the arc's later payoffs by investing in relationships that will matter as the battlefield converges.
