it will forever live free in my mind how similar Queen and Franky ended up even though Queen was barely in his life. They're both dramatic, loud, love building. hell they scream shit in English just because it's cool. you telling me "SUPER!" and "EXCITE!" as their signatures isn't the most thematic thing? Only difference is that Franky can actually be vulnerable and is a good person mostly thanks to Tom and his found family in water 7. Scien well... I head canon as him not having had that, that combined with his time in MADS (ahem. Judge and Caesar mainly). I mean hell, he started to smoke only when the fight to become number 2 started. I think that it's a fine narrative decision to make it so they didn't recognize each other in onigashima but I just wonder... Does Franky remember him at all? I do subscribe to the memory loss head cannon but I just can't believe Franky, who until he was 7 years old was raised (poorly) by this loud flamboyant man who seems impossible to forget and to then see him perform and feel nothing? no memory of anything? anyway I love Queen but I'm glad Tom was the father that stepped up lol. But makes me wonder what would have happened if Franky remembered him, or Caesar for that matter.
