And that kids, is why you don't bully people. Never know if they'll grow up to be a mob kingpin with anger issues

[u/flashpool46]

that was a great episode of Dragon, I hope Arrow can match it

[u/verandablue]

I actually liked this episode a lot. It was a nice break from the constant interpersonal drama of Team Arrow.

Guy that plays Diaz is a really good actor. I finally know something about him, so I have reason to be invested in his character. Shouldn't have taken so long, though.

[u/PasholNaxui]

I am pretty sure Diaz couldve just killed everyone at the table one by one, and then start slicing throats of the guards in the room, while other guards would just keep aiming at him until the last one is killed.

lol, Ricardo doesn't have an angel over one shoulder and a demon on the other one. He has two demons on both shoulders, and they're always egging each other on.

[u/Thatguy181991]

I’ve never seen anything Ricardo Diaz’ actor is in but the actor pulls off chilling very well. And I think the character concept and writing to set him up as a villain has been subpar so it speaks to his talents that he still conveys a threat

[u/katniss_everjeans]

No way Diaz gets beaten in 4 episodes. Calling it now - he (or him as part of the quadrant) is next season’s villain, too.

I loved that cameo by Stephen Amell! What was his character's name again?

[u/Hoganprime]

I loved how the other side of the big scary table of crime lords were silent. Didn't feel intimidating.

[u/t-zone671]

I actually enjoyed this episode. As someone who shared Diaz's background and motivation, it was relatable. Without the killing and becoming evil, of course. Lol.

This episode should have been called, "Enter the Dragon."

[u/crsnyder13]

So.... how much did Stephen Amell get paid for this episode?

[u/DMorrin15]

Diaz had a very John Wick vibe

[u/Dark_Magicion]

I gave a hearty chuckle when the Dragon Logo showed up at the start. That was quite nice.

[u/crackcorn69]

okay just saying it would be pretty dope if Diaz took his gasoline flask to the next level and drank from it then learned how to breathe fire with it like those circus performers do to kill his victims.

[u/svrtngr]

This season has the fuckiest plotting I've ever seen in anything ever.

In hopeful news, maybe these last three or four episodes will be zero filler so we can have a solid chunk of Arrow episodes.

[u/[deleted]]

Arrow is SO MUCH BETTER when it's not dealing with Team Arrow bullshit. It sucks that we've had to wait until episode 19 for us to really see Diaz in action because looking at this episode he could have been one of the best Arrowverse villains.

[u/GeneralMelon]

Well, I said this episode would make or break Dragon. It definitely made Dragon. Every scene he was in was pure joy. The Fefe B-plot was bad but it was so boring I could basically just tune it out and forget it the moment it cut back to Dragon. It's in the Top 5 of Season 6 for me, though admittedly that isn't saying much.

[u/turtleyturtle17]

They should just kill everyone at the end of the season. Kill felicity. Kill William. Kill Diggle; Dragon being the one to kill all of them making him oliver's greatest ever villain plus making it kind of a reboot next season.

[u/[deleted]]

Very good episode . Next thing : i don't think there's any logical chance Dragon beats Oliver . If he does , it's bad writing . Oliver defeated Malcom Merlyn , deathstroke , ra , damien darhk . Prometheus was probably worse than all of the others in terms of combat but he had that psychological advantage . Anyway , in no case Diaz should beat Oliver . Big difference between training and actually fighting legendary villains .

[u/RIATplays]

Unless we get a shitload of flashbacks, it won't make any sense for why Oliver will probably lose a hand to hand fight with Diaz next episode. I know he's great in comics, but he kinda just shoots and repeatedly punches in the show. This episode specifically felt like that dark Knight scene with joker talking with the mafia, except Diaz probably should've gotten shot the second he shot that Quadrant guy, he definitely would be dead in any real scenario like that. Other than that and FeFe, I liked it quite Abit, I hope we get more villain focus episodes like next season too.

[u/Ranlier]

Can we all agree Laurel was hot af this episode?

[u/yolofulcrum]

The Quadrant. Freaking Walmart Court of Owls knockoffs.

[u/flintlock0]

The first part of that “B” plot didn’t even make sense. What was it supposed to do? Just show us that Felicity and Curtis can still “hack” some stuff together?

[u/HolyBomb_]

Why is Siren so bothered by Diaz? Didn't Zoom torture people? Wasn't Zoom way more ruthless then Diaz? Was she just too scared to show fear in front of Zoom? Cause she seemed into blowing up entire buildings and killing whoever was in them. I don't see how Diaz is going to beat Olliver in straight up fight, he just shoots a little and then punches. Honestly, I still find Diaz kinda boring.

[u/LordCaedus13]

Holy God that episode was amazing. I actually love that they committed to just doing a Diaz episode rather than have some half-baked side plot for Oliver that would've just taken time away from it. Just wow.
