Gohei takes training seriously. If they released this now, I would guess that PETA and compm would lose their shit.

I love how there's many episodes about Gin being just a cub. And how he remains friends with Daisuke.

i hate how he trains Gin but i understand his feelings and expectations and anger so i agree what he is doing with Gin training him to be fearless and survive no matter what

Meeting that rival was humbling. Should serve as motivation as well.


What a tough training arc for Gin. I would feel sorry for him if it wasn't necessary and he looks even cute when he's struggling, lol.(still feels a bit selfish on the part of the grandpa.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

I must be too sentimental to find this training wrong. but if I think on the other hand, I'm being even more rational. you don't train dogs like that... but ok, it's a shounen anime.

Grandpa is a psycho, damn. It's fairly intuitive that a dog isn't going to be an efficient hunter if it's a house pet that lies on the couch all day, but this guy is taking it to the other extreme and beating a (one-month-old) puppy within an inch of its life. The series may be authenticating his training for the sake of the narrative itself, but you'd just have a dead puppy if you tried this in reality.

Fortunately, the dogs here are made of titanium, so Gin is a badass now. There was some morbid humour in seeing him just immediately ragdoll the rest of his kin.
