Yea, but many fishman had that same experience, why did it manifest to such hatred in Arlong? I kept waiting to see if something personal happened to him. But other than Tiger dying the way he did, there wasnt. And lets be honest, even before Tiger he was the way he was

2025-12-09 22:05:01 +0000 UTCI think one thing to point out with Arlong, is that he clearly modelled "Arlong Park" after "Sabaody Park", which is bang in the centre of where the slave trade was taking place, but also the place where he wished he could go as a child. So he likely holds recentment from the descrimination that kept him from experiencing life in the surface under threat of being a slave, bolstered by all the fishmen that humans kept capturing and selling in Sabaody Park, and then even further bolstered by discovering that Fisher Tiger was also a slave and then being captured and sent to Impel Down himself. Absolutly not justified the way he behaved, but I can see what lead to it, and the mimicking of Arlong/Sabaody Park highlights that reasoning. Hordy, is a different story, I give an explanation in the other comment.

2025-12-09 21:32:38 +0000 UTCOne thing to note is that Hordy is exactly the kind of person the Queen was trying to prevent from creating. Every time she would say "there are children around!" or "not in front of the children" with regards to fishmen being angry with humans was precisely to avoid a generation of children who grew up on nothing but hatred even before they ever actually experienced anything, children that would perpetuate the cycle of hatred willingly with no way to steer them away from it as they had simply grown up with hatred being normalized in their childhoods. So yes, from a story perspective it's kind of lame, but it does have a very valid point and highlights the importance of the Queen's behaviour. In a society that tries to deal with it's hatred healthily and away from children there is always a path for a better future, in a society that teaches it's children to hate before they even experience anything there is only downfall in the future. Hordy and his group alone is not enough to suggest that the society is already stuck in this path, but it does highlight how close they came to inadvertently ending up with the majority of the newer generation being stuck in a cycle that the society would no longer be able to pull away from. Ps. I've seen One Piece multiple times, so yes, my perspective has changed over time, initially to be fair I just liked the action on this arc, but I can admit that as a story build-up point it's bit of a let-down, but on a deeper analysis (along with the politics of the arc) it does make more sense.
