Invincible! A Gruesome Army of Headcracker Dolls

EpisodeEp. 694

Summary

Searching chambers she never set foot in during her years with the Donquixote household, Viola at last locates the caged princess and relays it to Leo, who knows the spot as the old "time out" room and chokes up over memories of Scarlett. On the third tier, the towering toys ignore every wound: the captain knocks one off Farul only to watch it rebuild with a hole punched through its chest, and Cavendish's Biken: Round Table shears a head clean off, yet the doll regrows it before the dumbstruck trio.

Key Events

Viola alerts Usopp that Sugar has woken, which horrifies him since the captain knows nothing of her power. Petrified of long noses, the girl turns a sausage-bearing soldier into a fresh nutcracker and vows to make the whole nation into toys, the sniper most of all. Haunted by once forgetting Robin after her change, Usopp readies his Kuro Kabuto to back the palace fight from afar with Viola and Kanjuro. Higher up, Gladius sets off blasts using the Pamu Pamu no Mi, dropping Robin and Bartolomeo, but Robin snares him, sends Rebecca ahead to the captain, and notes she carries Law's key out in the flower fields.

Notes

This Dressrosa Arc installment debuts techniques for Cavendish, Orlumbus, Gladius, and Robin. The adaptation inserts Bartolomeo's daydream of greeting the captain amid the sunflowers, then has the captain answer the toys with Gomu Gomu no UFO, and grants Baby 5 her anime-only Disc-Girl move. It lengthens young Viola's flashback together with the Sai-versus-Baby 5 and Chinjao-versus-Lao G clashes. Farul's bitten head comes later than in print, several long-nosed men face Sugar rather than one, and Orlumbus's command ability surfaces earlier than the manga showed.
