| 7 | |
| 8 | A small but powerful crew originating from the East Blue, and the protagonists of ''One Piece'', led by Captain Monkey D. Luffy. |
| 9 | |
| 10 | [[foldercontrol]] |
| 11 | ---- |
| 12 | |
| 13 | [[folder:General]] |
| 14 | * AwesomeMomentOfCrowning: |
| 15 | ** At the end of Episode 4, the crew set sail on the ''Going Merry'' for the first time, accompanied by an instrumental rendition of "We Are". |
| 16 | ** A smaller, yet equally meaningful one occurs near the end of Episode 8, whereupon the crew show Luffy their new main sail: a full-blown pirate Jolly Roger, cementing the official formation of the Straw Hat Crew. |
| 17 | * BadassCrew: By the end of Season 1 they've become the most feared pirates in the East Blue. |
| 18 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: A perfectly amiable bunch of adventurers who mean no harm or disrespect to the civilians they encounter. That being said, they're still pirates and will unleash absolute Hell on anyone who gets up their snout. |
| 19 | * CharlesAtlasSuperpower: |
| 20 | ** Zoro and Sanji were able to blaze through Arlong's crew despite lacking any special powers. |
| 21 | ** While Luffy does have superpowers, they don't affect his strength. Despite this, he's able to dislodge a large metal safe bolted to the floor of Morgan's office. |
| 22 | * CoolShip: As in canon, the Straw Hats' first pirate ship is called the ''Going Merry'', which has a mast shaped like a ram's head. It was built and named after Merry, Kaya's lawyer who was murdered by Kuro. Besides its looks, Usopp boasts that the ''Going Merry'' is incredibly fast for her class, and the Straw Hats are able to more or less outrun Garp's flagship when he tries attacking them outside Syrup Village. |
| 23 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: All of them have dealt with losing loved ones or facing setbacks in their dreams, but they persisted nevetheless. |
| 24 | * {{Determinator}}: Currently, they're a crew of five and the only real superhuman on the team is Luffy. This doesn't discourage them from fighting hordes of pirates and marines whose captains are feared as some of the deadliest combatants the East Blue has to offer. |
| 25 | * FireForgedFriends: The crew members start off as complete strangers who must help each other get out of dangerous situations. As they continue fighting enemies together, they become close and trustworthy friends. |
| 26 | * FiveManBand: Or Five-Man Crew. Luffy is TheHero who is the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates. He is also TheHeart and is the only one with supernatural abilities. Zoro is TheLancer who is a well-trained swordsman and eventually becomes Luffy's first mate. Ussop is the FriendlySniper who is also sort of a comic relief due to his outlandish stories. Sanji is a ChefOfIron who, alongside his incredible cooking skills, is an extremely skilled martial artist. And finally, there's Nami who is the SmurfettePrinciple and an ActionGirl to go along with it. She is also TheNavigator of the crew. |
| 27 | * FriendlyPirate: They're a pirate crew with their fair share of character flaws, but they're all good people at heart and fight evil pirates to defend innocent people. |
| 28 | * RagtagBunchOfMisfits: Let's see... we got a pirate crew that consists of a shamelessly flirty line cook, a habitual liar, a sticky-fingered bandit, a stone-faced samurai bounty hunter, and a naive stretchy pirate wannabe who can't swim. |
| 29 | * ToBeAMaster: Their goals are to be the greatest of their professions. |
| 30 | ** Luffy wants to find the One Piece and be declared King of the Pirates. |
| 31 | ** Zoro wants to best Hawkeye Mihawk and be declared the World's Greatest Swordsman. |
| 32 | ** Nami wants to chart every island and create a worldwide map. |
| 33 | ** Usopp wants to uphold a promise made to his mother, but for the sake of appearances states that he aspires to be a great warrior of the sea. |
| 34 | ** Sanji wants to reach the All Blue and make fine dishes out of the marine life. |
| 35 | * TrueCompanions: By the end of the first season, despite their rocky start and vitriol some still have for each other, the Straw Hats are firmly these. They march into battle against a legion of fishmen to avenge the wrongs done to Nami and her village. Once it is over, Luffy summarizes this sentiment with the following words: |
| 36 | -->"NAMI! YOU ARE OUR FRIEND! WE ARE YOUR CREW!" |

| 43 | !!!'''Played by:''' Iñaki Godoy, Colton Osorio (young)[[labelnote:Foreign voice actors]]Iñaki Godoy (Latin American Spanish dub), Carlos Alberto Guilbert (Latin American Spanish dub, young), Jon Samaniego (European Spanish dub), Creator/MayumiTanaka (Japanese dub), Vyni Takahashi (Brazilian Portuguese dub), Daniel Schlauch (German dub), Leonardo Della Bianca (Italian dub)[[/labelnote]] |
| 44 | !!!'''Debut:''' "[[Recap/OnePiece2023S1E1RomanceDawn Romance Dawn]]" |
| 45 | |
| 46 | ->''"You have the the wind in your back, the salty sea air, your loyal crew by your side. You never know what's on the horizon. It's all about being free."'' |
| 47 | |
| 48 | An energetic and cheerful young man from Windmill Village with ambitions of becoming the King of the Pirates. Having eaten the Gum-Gum Devil Fruit as a child, he has a pliable rubber body at the cost of being unable to swim in the ocean's waters. |
| 49 | |
| 50 | Bounty: 30,000,000 |
| 51 | ---- |
| 52 | * AccidentalMisnaming: He's got a bad habit of getting Buggy's name wrong. He doesn't fare much better with Zoro's Wado Ichimonji, or "Whadda Itchy Monkey" as he calls it. |
| 53 | * AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: While still plenty optimistic and happy-go-lucky, live-action Luffy doesn't quite match the original's [[{{Determinator}} unshakeable self-confidence and implicit, unquestioning faith in his crew's abilities]]. This is best seen in the aftermath of Zoro's Fight with Mihawk: in the original, Luffy takes Zoro's vow to never lose again at face value and moves on to the other matters at hand, where in the series Luffy suffers a crisis of confidence over his abilities as a captain. He ''does'' suffer a similar crisis in the manga, but not until the midway point of it and under much more dramatic circumstances. |
| 54 | * AdaptationalHairstyleChange: Luffy's hair was straight in the manga and anime, but he has Iñaki Godoy's curly black hair in this adaptation. |
| 55 | * AdaptationalHeroism: In the original series, Luffy makes clear that he admires heroes, but has no desire to be one; while he does often fight for other people, he generally only does so after seeing that they're willing to stand up for themselves (or if they had previously given him food), and is fine with ignoring their plight otherwise. Here, he has a much greater sense of heroism, helping people just because it's the right thing to do. |
| 56 | * AdaptationalIntelligence: While Luffy is still naïve, reckless, and BookDumb, he displays more wit and moments of intelligence than in the manga and anime. [[note]]Bringing him much closer in intelligence to his counterpart in the first Romance Dawn pilot chapter.[[/note]] |
| 57 | ** When he first meets Koby on Alvida's ship, where he tells Koby to be quiet as to not give away his location, whereas in the manga and anime, he openly bursts out a barrel in front of several of Alvida's men while loudly saying he had a great nap. |
| 58 | ** When unexpectedly attacked with sleeping gas, and with Nami and Zoro knocked out by it, Luffy thinks to swallow the map to the Grand Line (one of the last hiding places ''anyone'' would think of) before he himself passes out. |
| 59 | ** On the "emotional intelligence" front, Manga Luffy has little interest in the life stories of even close friends. If you want to tell him about your past, typically you have to summarize it in a few sentences or he'll get bored and stop listening. Live-Action Luffy is far more willing to listen to whatever his friends decide to tell him about themselves; if it's important to them, it's important to him. |
| 60 | * AdaptationalNiceGuy: Luffy ''is'' a NiceGuy in both the manga and anime, although he is noticably more contemplative and considerate in the live action series and has a more stronger sense of heroism here. It's more of a subtle change as Luffy in this series is still very similar to his Japanese counterpart. |
| 61 | * AdaptationalWimp: Zigzagged. Many of Luffy's more extreme physical feats, such as tearing the front of the Black Cats Pirates' ship with his bare hands (while under hypnosis from Jango, AdaptedOut here), have been removed. His opponents are more able to fight on par with him, and he flat-out loses his first fight with Arlong. However, he still demonstrates superhuman strength, including shattering stone with his bare fists and destroying Arlong Park with Gum-Gum Battle Axe, and he overall takes ''less'' damage than in the manga due to dodging attacks more often. |
| 62 | * AllLovingHero: It says something that Luffy's response to Koby telling him that he plans to join the Marines which will make them enemies is to say "be a good Marine!". |
| 63 | * BalloonBelly: His Gum-Gum Balloon, which is used to deflect cannonballs. |
| 64 | * BenevolentBoss: Luffy knows well that there's no captain without a crew and he looks after his own to maintain their loyalty. |
| 65 | * BerserkButton: |
| 66 | ** As someone whose dream is all that's pushing him forward, Luffy will not stand for the dissing of any person's dreams, even by the person themselves. |
| 67 | ** Messing with his hat and by extension insulting Shanks is another way to get him uncharacteristically upset. |
| 68 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: Luffy's an incredibly friendly guy, but as Kuro and Arlong learned the hard way, he's absolutely ruthless towards those who need to be humbled. |
| 69 | * BewareTheSillyOnes: He's a dope with a goofy power, but he's also a skilled combatant thanks to being trained by Garp and a passion for seafaring that can't be tamed. |
| 70 | * BigEater: Luffy's first priority when arriving somewhere is typically to find some food. |
| 71 | * BigYes: Anytime he gets excited, he lets one of these out to express his joyful excitement. |
| 72 | * BlessedWithSuck: Being empowered by the Devil Fruit naturally means he's completely powerless against seawater. Even being on dry land while drenched nullifies his powers. |
| 73 | * BloodKnight: After earning the highest bounty in the East Blue, the rest of the Straw Hat crew agree that it's not safe to stick around so they should head straight to the Grand Line. Luffy's reasoning isn't quite so practical; he's just impatient to find stronger foes to beat. |
| 74 | * CharacterCatchphrase: It wouldn't be Luffy if he didn't proclaim "I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!" every time he introduced himself. |
| 75 | * ChasteHero: He has no attraction to women whatsoever. When Nami is playing dress-up for Kaya's birthday dinner and asks for his opinion on her appearance, all he can say is that "she looks like Nami". |
| 76 | * ComicallyMissingThePoint: In Shells Town, Luffy and Koby are looking at wanted posters for various pirates. While Koby is clearly frightened, Luffy is more concerned about the absence of his own wanted poster. |
| 77 | --> '''Luffy:''' I didn't know that there was so many pirates!\ |
| 78 | '''Koby:''' ''(backing away in fear)'' It's terrible.\ |
| 79 | '''Luffy:''' I know, right? Where's ''my'' face? |
| 80 | * CuckooSnarker: Luffy is still the foolish, reckless excitable adventurer we know and love, but he's surprisingly able to deliver somewhat snarky lines during battle, and is even capable of going along with some of Nami's quips. |
| 81 | * DefeatingTheUndefeatable: Luffy takes on notoriously dangerous foes like Kuro and Arlong all by himself and emerges victorious. |
| 82 | * DrinkBasedCharacterization: Luffy orders a glass of milk in the Baratie, making him appear childish and out of place in the upscale restaurant. |
| 83 | * DumbIsGood: Luffy's childlike sense of wonder sits in stark contrast to the more cunning and manipulative enemies (and even his allies, as seen with Nami and Usopp). So far he's only managed to win fights by hitting his opponent as hard as he can. |
| 84 | * EyeScream: Subverted. He attempts to stab himself in the eye as a child to prove himself to Shanks. He misses and gets a cut on his cheek for his trouble. |
| 85 | * FriendlyPirate: Luffy's idea of a pirate is more of a seafaring rogue that goes on grand adventures, damn what the law has to say. Everyone else is quick to point out that pirates are typically thieving scoundrels who terrorize the islands, as the sheer number of villainous pirates he runs into can attest to. To be fair, he modelled himself after Shanks and his crew, who are also this trope. |
| 86 | * FriendsAreChosenFamilyArent: Garp's harsh treatment of Luffy in his childhood drove him to seek out friends and parental figures that were nothing like his grandfather. |
| 87 | * FromZeroToHero: He's introduced as a stowaway who can't even keep his dinghy from sinking. By the end of Season 1 he's become the most infamous pirate of the East Blue, having defeated a decorated marine and four pirate captains. |
| 88 | * GoodOldFisticuffs: Luffy relies on his fists and his gum-gum power when it comes to fighting. At no point does he use a weapon despite going up against experienced armed fighters. |
| 89 | * GoodScarsEvilScars: Luffy has his trademark scar under his left eye from an ill-advised attempt to prove how tough he was as a kid. |
| 90 | * GuileHero: This Luffy is much quicker to pick up on opportunities than his manga/anime counterpart and has a shrewdness that hints at his leadership skills. |
| 91 | * HeroicBSOD: Luffy suffers one after Zoro is gravely wounded by Mihawk. Seeing his first mate brought to the brink of death causes him to disassociate until Nami urges him to get a doctor. |
| 92 | * HeroProtagonist: By the end of Season 1, Luffy's purged the East Blue of its most dangerous pirates. |
| 93 | * HeroWorship: Luffy adores his mentor and friend Shanks, seeking to emulate him on his own pirate adventure and getting visibly angry whenever anyone insults the legendary pirate. |
| 94 | * IconicOutfit: As in the manga, Luffy wears a red sleeveless vest, blue shorts and sandals, which was Luffy's outfit pre-TimeSkip. And of course, his signature straw hat gifted by Shanks (though the series' version already comes with a strap whereas in the manga, it was added by Nami after they entered the Grand Line so that Luffy wouldn't lose it easily). |
| 95 | * IJustWantToBeFree: Luffy aspires to be a pirate because doing so would liberate him from Garp's oppressive brand of guidance. Garp eventually figures out that his strictness could only push Luffy into this life, so he relents and allows his grandson to accept responsibility for his own future. |
| 96 | * ImmuneToBullets: His rubber powers are first shown by one of Alvida's crew attempting to shoot him in the chest, only for the bullet to bounce off and knock the gun from his hand. |
| 97 | * {{Irony}}: As in the original manga, the man who wants to be the King of all Pirates can't actually be in the water thanks to his stretching powers. |
| 98 | * MissingStepsPlan: A constant problem is Luffy acts like finding the One Piece and the treasure is no big deal, so he'll do anything from try to buy a ship to pay for a huge meal on credit, all because he thinks the treasure is as good as his. He's honestly surprised folks refuse to accept his "promised payments." Also, he goes on about finding the Grand Line but barely knows ''what'' it is, let alone ''where'' it is. His own crew lampshades how Luffy misses at least ten steps in any "plan" for his goals. |
| 99 | * MusclesAreMeaningless: He's a scrawny youth whose punches can send grown men flying, pull heavy safes off their hinges, and his kicks can level an entire building. |
| 100 | * TheNoseKnows: Luffy's better than a bloodhound when he's in pursuit of food. |
| 101 | * PrimaryColorChampion: Luffy wears a yellow straw hat with a red band and a series of red shirts with blue shorts. |
| 102 | * QuirkyCurls: Luffy's thick curls perfectly go with his chaotic and happy-go-lucky personality. |
| 103 | * PunchedAcrossTheRoom: How Luffy prefers to deal with bad guys. For the ones who are too heavy to knock back, Luffy prefers to slam them into the ground. |
| 104 | * RaisedByGrandparents: Garp ''tried'' to raise Luffy, but ultimately the boy was and is just too rebellious. |
| 105 | * RapidFireFisticuffs: His 'Gum Gum Gatling' is a barrage of powerful punches he uses against Arlong in their final battle. While Arlong shrugged off most of Luffy's previous attacks, this was the first to really hurt the fish-man and leave him bleeding from the mouth. |
| 106 | * RedIsHeroic: As with his manga and anime counterparts, Luffy's main color scheme is red and his straw hat has a red band on it. |
| 107 | * RubberMan: It wouldn't be Luffy if he couldn't stretch himself courtesy of the Gum-Gum fruit. |
| 108 | * SarcasmBlind: Zigzagged. Most of Nami's snarking against him tends to either fly over his head, or he takes them at face-value. Occasionally though, he just goes along with his own joke, as his "[I'm] Kidding" comment to Nami in "Romance Dawn" implies. |
| 109 | * SelfHarm: The scar under Luffy's eye was self-inflicted. He was actually trying to stab himself in the eye but missed. Unlike most examples, it wasn't done out of depression but a woefully misguided attempt to prove he was tough enough to be on Shanks' crew. |
| 110 | * SignatureHeadgear: The straw hat that originally belonged to Shanks which he wore on the day he witnessed Gold Roger's execution, which is seen on the Going Merry's flag. |
| 111 | * SmallNameBigEgo: Downplayed, Luffy is genuinely powerful, but it's still strange that in the first episode, he actually expected to have a reward poster with his face on it, without even having done anything to begin with. |
| 112 | * SkewedPriorities: A FatalFlaw of Luffy's is his belief that one should not interfere in another's pursuit of their dreams, ''regardless of any risks''. Him refusing to step in during Zoro's duel with Mihawk puts him in a HeroicBSOD after Mihawk puts the former at the brink of death and [[WhatTheHellHero his friends call him out for it]], with his only excuse being [[DidntSeeThatComing his complete confidence in Zoro winning the fight]]. He ultimately learns that a good captain ''must'' make the hard decision to step in and help when things are going awry regardless of the circumstances. |
| 113 | * StockShonenHero: Just like his manga counterpart, Luffy is ambitious, excitable and a bit of a simpleton but with a heart of gold and the charisma needed to rouse anyone with a good heart into being his allies. This is probably the most rare characteristic in western live-action shows. |
| 114 | * StomachOfHolding: When he's about to be captured by the Buggy Pirates in the second episode, Luffy swallows the map to the Grand Line so they won't find it. |
| 115 | * StraightForTheCommander: While guys like Kuro and Arlong have a more hostile relationship with Usopp and Nami respectively, Luffy ends up fighting them not only due to being the only one strong enough to actually stand a chance against them, but because he abhors captains who mistreat their crew or bully harmless civilians. |
| 116 | * StreetUrchin: He apparently lived on the streets as a child when he met Shanks. It's later implied he ran away from home to get away from his tyrannical grandfather. |
| 117 | * SuperDrowningSkills: Thanks to the power of the Devil Fruit, Luffy's body turns to deadweight if he's ever exposed to seawater. Even before he ate the Devil Fruit he was apparently a poor swimmer, evidenced by Shanks teasingly comparing him to an anchor. |
| 118 | * TagalongKid: As a child Luffy tried to stowaway aboard Shanks' ship, but the captain told Luffy he was still too green for seafaring adventures. |
| 119 | * TastesLikeFriendship: Luffy considers sharing a meal with a person a close and personal experience. |
| 120 | ** When he and Koby are leaving Alvida's ship on their dingy, Koby wonders why Luffy is so pushy about Koby following his dream. Luffy replies that they shared a meal together and are now friends. |
| 121 | ** Luffy moves to protect Baratie because not only did they eat a good meal at the restaurant, but Sanji later cooked for them on the ''Going Merry'' and he's going to protect his home. So Luffy will join him. |
| 122 | * TerribleArtist: As in the manga and anime, he attempts to paint the crew's Jolly Roger... and it still looks like something a toddler doodled in the dark. |
| 123 | * ThisIsUnforgivable: Like in canon, he takes great offense to Arlong's treatment of Nami, including [[KickTheDog having one of his Marine patsies confiscate Nami's hard-earned savings so she will never be able to buy her way to freedom]]. The July trailer shows a close-up shot of Luffy's enraged face as he personally confronts Arlong himself, stating that ''no one'' messes with his friends. |
| 124 | %%* UnskilledButStrong: As in the manga and anime, Luffy starts the story being already a devil fruit user and a rubber man, which also grants him superhuman abilities. However, his fighting style is basically wildly throwing fists and kicks while relying on his powers. While it usually works for him, he finds himself in trouble when fighting enemies who are stronger (Arlong) or smarter (Kuro) than him. Played with, since Luffy still displays control and creativity over his powers, and flashbacks show he did train himself to control his stretching abilities, plus he did receive training from his grandfather admiral Garp. |
| 125 | * {{Ubermensch}}: Luffy's a natural-born rebel. Garp tried to raise him to be a Marine, but Luffy defied him due to finding the life of a pirate more liberating. Despite his disobedient attitude, Luffy demonstrates great moral fiber and treasures his friendships. |
| 126 | * UndyingLoyalty: Luffy swears to rescue Nami from Arlong even after she "betrays" him. He also sits by Zoro's bedside and talks to him while he's comatose. |
| 127 | * WhatTheHellHero: Multiple characters get on Luffy's case for not stopping Zoro when it became clear that he was planning to go all the way through with his DuelToTheDeath with Dracule Mihawk. |
| 128 | * WouldHitAGirl: The first enemy he fights is Alvida, a woman pirate, and he decks her so hard she flies off her ship. |

| 139 | |
| 140 | A stoic pirate hunter from Shimotsuki Village who joins Luffy after the rubber man rescues him from a corrupt Marine division in Shells Town. He is known for his unconventional but deadly Three-Sword style of fighting. |
| 141 | ---- |
| 142 | * AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: In the manga and anime, Zoro towards the beginning of their journey was a lot more prone to ridiculous antics with his fellow crewmates and actually had more sense of humor to him. Here, he starts off with the no-nonsense aloof attitude he attains later on in the series. |
| 143 | * AdaptationDyeJob: Zoro has black eyes in the manga and anime. Here, he has Creator/{{Mackenyu}}'s brown eyes. |
| 144 | * AdaptationalExpansion: Aside from a few moments early on, Zoro's experience in his initial job as a bounty hunter is mainly just an excuse for him to have a reputation and to know about Baroque Works, and even then mostly in dialog. In this series, his experience comes up more often: |
| 145 | ** His intro is Mr 7's failed recruitment and duel, and as a result, the reason he was hanging out at the bar in the town Morgan is stationed at is to turn in the bounty. When Morgan threatens to put in a report that would cause Zoro to be unable to turn them in, that's what convinces him to accept the yard stock as repayment for attacking Helmeppo. |
| 146 | ** He complains that they should have turned Buggy in for his Bounty at Syrup Village, only for Luffy to point out [[DumbassHasAPoint that since he's considered a pirate now, he can't do that.]] To which he says he hadn't considered that. |
| 147 | ** When Luffy begins asking Genzo about the situation in Nami's hometown, Zoro makes them out to be Pirate Hunters, rather than Pirates, so that the people have no reason to distrust them. |
| 148 | ** Him taking a finishing blow from Mihawk at Baratie is a much more serious repercussion here than in the original, where it was important, but the recovery is mostly glossed over. Much of the following episode is dedicated to the fall out while Zoro recovers. Luffy realizes he needs a ship's doctor and is confronted with the responsibility of his position of Captain - and Noland the Liars story is used as character building moment for Nami to try and help Zoro stay grounded to life - he's unable to be there when Arlong arrives, and when the Straw Hats arrive at Cocoyashi, the wound is still causing Zoro strain as he's fighting Arlong's men. |
| 149 | * AdaptationalJobChange: In the manga and anime, Zoro is only the Swordsman of the Straw Hat Pirates and not the First Mate, contrary to the opinions of both the characters in-story and some of the audience (although he was occasionally explicitly called the First Mate in the [=4Kids=] dub). In this adaptation, he is explicitly identified as the First Mate. |
| 150 | %%* AdaptationalJerkass: Downplayed, given that Zoro was already one of the most rude and cold members of the crew, both in the anime and manga. However, this version of Zoro is even more cold and abbrasive than his original counterpart, barely smiling or joking around his crewmates as he usually does in the anime/manga. He is also far less feeling or considerate with the rest of the crew, coldly rejecting the help or worry from Nami (when she tried to stop him from going through his death match against Mihawk) or Sanji (when the cook expressed genuine worry about his state while fighting Arlong's fish men). |
| 151 | * AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: The role of his three-sword style is subtly yet noticeably changed. Instead of making his attacks stronger, his third sword exploits an angle his opponents aren't used to defending. |
| 152 | * AntiHero: More pronounced than in the original series, thanks to this adaptation being BloodierAndGorier. Zoro is generally the most serious and brutal of the Straw Hats and ends up with a pretty large on-screen body count, slicing Mr. 7 in half during his EstablishingCharacterMoment and cutting up a bunch of fishmen pirates during the first season's finale. |
| 153 | * BadassBoast: When he rejects Mr. 7's offer to join Baroque Works: |
| 154 | --> '''Mr. 7:''' To turn down Baroque Works is to forfeit your life.\ |
| 155 | '''Zoro:''' If they were that serious... they should have sent someone better than number 7. |
| 156 | * BadassesWearBandanas: Zoro wears one on his left bicep, which he occasionally wraps around his head during moments when he's going for a LetsGetDangerous vibe. |
| 157 | * BerserkButton: He gets visibly angry and more aggressive when anyone touches Wado Ichimonji without his permission, whether it be lunging at Helmeppo in the prison yard when the other man waves it around in his face or attacking the Meowban Siblings with greater intensity when Sham steals it from him. |
| 158 | * BountyHunter: His job as the series starts. He takes it a fair bit more seriously than in the source material; in this version, he accepts being arrested by Morgan when the Marine Captain threatens to order all nearby Marine bases to not accept any bounties he turns in. |
| 159 | * ButForMeItWasTuesday: While being held by Buggy, Zoro is accused by Cabaji of killing his brother years back. Zoro does not recall. |
| 160 | * ChallengeSeeker: Zoro's original goal was to surpass Kuina, but since she died he's been searching for a replacement rival. Mihawk gives him a new goal to surpass. |
| 161 | * ChangedMyMindKid: When the fight begins between Luffy and Nami against the Marines in Shell Town, Zoro is already freed and has his swords back. He initially moves to leave them to their devices, but then steps in when things start to go badly for the two. |
| 162 | * ClarkKentOutfit: His shirts generally hide his muscular physique. The few times his chest is seen, they are quite shredded. |
| 163 | * ColorMotif: Zoro has bright green hair and his sash is composed of light and dark stripes of green. |
| 164 | * TheComicallySerious: He's almost always serious no matter the situation, which makes several scenes with him - like when he confronts the butt-naked Helmeppo to retrieve Wado Ichimonji without batting an eye, and where his swords get stuck in the side of a restaurant booth because he refuses to remove them - utterly hilarious. |
| 165 | * CutlassBetweenTheTeeth: Zoro's three-sword style is completed by placing Wado Ichimonji in his mouth. |
| 166 | * DeadpanSnarker: To complement his stoic demeanor, Zoro usually delivers deadpan remarks in the face of whatever new insane situations the crew finds themselves in. |
| 167 | * TheDreaded: The name of the Pirate Hunter strikes terror into the hearts of pirates. Alvida sacks a pirate crew on the suspicion that they are housing Zoro. |
| 168 | * EverythingsBetterWithSamurai: At first, Zoro fit the ''ronin'' vibe quite neatly, choosing to operate as a bounty hunter rather than serve a master. After joining Luffy and eventually losing to Hawkeye Mihawk, Zoro starts acting like a traditional samurai and swears his life and loyalty to his captain, feeling more pained by the knowledge he lost in front of Luffy than at his actual wounds. |
| 169 | * FlippingTheBird: Zoro gives Mr. 7 one of these to express his dissatisfaction with his job offer at Baroque Works. |
| 170 | * FriendToAllChildren: An early indication that Zoro isn't a bad guy is him standing up for Rika at the bar when Helmeppo bullies her and even takes a bite of her chocolate food that Helmeppo stepped on from the ground and praises Rika for it. |
| 171 | * FunctionalAddict: Not that it appears to hinder him in the slightest, but he's always seen going for a drink whenever he's presented with an opportunity. |
| 172 | * GracefulLoser: Once Mihawk unamibiguously demonstrates that Zoro is nowhere near his level of swordplay, Zoro offers Mihawk a free slash to his torso because attacking him from behind is unbecoming of such an opponent. |
| 173 | * GreenAndMean: Zoro has green hair and aside from Nami is the most antiheroic member of the crew. Deep down, he's a BruiserWithASoftCenter. |
| 174 | * HandicappedBadass: Even with a barely-healed wound to the chest and recently being comatose, Zoro can fight several fish-men at once. |
| 175 | * HeroesPreferSwords: So far, Zoro is one of only two characters that fight exclusively with swords while everyone else relies on superpowers, firearms or other more practical weaponry. |
| 176 | * KatanasAreJustBetter: Zigzagged. Zoro's katanas are unmatched when it comes to dealing with normal opponents, but they're completely useless against Buggy and get destroyed in his duel with Mihawk. |
| 177 | * TheLancer: He's Luffy's first mate. The two are thick as thieves, with Zoro lamenting that he dishonored Luffy by losing to Mihawk and Luffy staying by Zoro's bedside while he recovered. Their personalities and combat styles are also sharply contrasted, with Luffy being ThePollyanna and possessing a superpower while Zoro is a straight man who relies on swordplay. |
| 178 | * LetsGetDangerous: Normally Zoro uses only one or two swords when dealing with foes that don't impress him. When he pulls out all three swords, it means he's about to unleash Hell. |
| 179 | * NervesOfSteel: It's very difficult for Zoro to be fazed by anything, period. Whether it's Helmeppo shooting a nearby mast trying to intimidate him, Cabaji throwing knives at him while he's strung up on a spinning wheel, or facing down the legendary Mihawk, he never flinches. |
| 180 | * NormalFishInATinyPond: A feared swordsman in the East Blue. Too bad the East Blue is considered the safest of the four oceans. |
| 181 | * NoSenseOfDirection: He has a poor sense of direction like his manga counterpart. While not a lot of attention is drawn to it, it doesn't take his crewmates long to pick up on it and subtly start employing a buddy system. Special mention goes to the moment where he describes Kaya's mansion as "a maze"... while standing in a ''completely straight, easily-navigable hallway''. |
| 182 | * NotSoAboveItAll: Despite Zoro being depicted as very serious and stoic, his idea of revenge on Helmeppo for stealing his swords and imprisoning him is to butcher his hairstyle. He even chuckles when the others comment on it. |
| 183 | ** His [[NoSenseOfDirection terrible sense of direction]] makes for hilarious moments, too. In addition to getting lost in a straight hallway, Nami tells Zoro that "port" means left, [[{{Beat}} and he's quiet for a good few seconds.]] Viewers wonder if he knows ''which side of the ship is "left."'' |
| 184 | * PragmaticAdaptation: Zoro uses his complete Three-Sword Style a lot less in the series. Justified since it is acknowledged in-universe as an [[AwesomeButImpractical unconventional]] fighting style to have a sword in your mouth. Plus, the live-action genre means the actor would have a harder time trying to breathe as well as coherently say his dialogue when applicable. And also, you know, swords taste bad. |
| 185 | * PrettyBoy: Like his actor, he is a {{bishonen}}. |
| 186 | * RedOniBlueOni: The pragmatic Blue Oni to hyperactive Luffy's Red Oni. |
| 187 | * AScarToRemember: After losing to Hawkeye Mihawk, Zoro sports a prominent scar on his chest. |
| 188 | * TheStoic: Despite being as ambitious and thrill-seeking as the rest of the Straw Hat crew, Zoro is the most reserved, thanks to a combination of his training incorporating emotional discipline and his general laziness when he's not trying get stronger. |
| 189 | %%* StrongAndSkilled: Zoro is one of the best swordmman in the world, the very best of the East Blue to be specific, and is also one of the strongest members of the crew along Luffy and Sanji. Unfortunately for him, Mihawk just happens to be way more powerful and skilled. |
| 190 | * TigerVersusDragon: He's the Tiger to Mihawk's Dragon. |
| 191 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: Drinks in this case. Like his manga counterpart, he's a huge drinker for beer, or at least alcoholic drinks moreso compared to his friends. After killing Mr. 7, he stops by at a Shells Town bar for a drink before he plans to get a bounty reward from the Marines. During a visit to Kaya's mansion, he passes up on some hors d'oeuvres in favour of a citrus drink, along with telling Sham to refill an alcoholic bottle at the dinner table. His desire for a drink at night is what led him to discover Merry killed by "Klahadore" who happens to be a pirate named Kuro. At Baratie, he orders a beer from the restaurant and its bar and once said that he woke up underneath a table after drinking some liquor that tasted like candy. He also plays a drinking game with Nami in order to learn more about each other's past life. |
| 192 | * TragicKeepsake: Wado Ichimonji, the sword of his late friend Kuina. He keeps it to help honor her memory, being the sword he places in his mouth [[spoiler:and after his duel with Mihawk, it's the only sword he has.]] |
| 193 | * TrashTalk: True to the character, Zoro is very fond of this. |
| 194 | * VitriolicBestBuds: |
| 195 | ** Zoro and Sanji may trade barbs in the heat of combat, but Zoro isn't too proud to admit that even he enjoys Sanji's cooking. |
| 196 | ** Zoro and Nami also have this dynamic when the Straw Hat crew was a trio, though it is toned down once Nami becomes more comfortable with them. Unlike Zoro and Sanji's barbed insults, Zoro and Nami's banter is more like teasing. |
| 197 | * WreckedWeapon: [[spoiler:Mihawk shatters two of Zoro's swords, leaving him with only Wado Ichimonji.]] |

| 206 | |
| 207 | ->''"I hate pirates. But I am who I am. And I won't apologize for that."'' |
| 208 | |
| 209 | A young thief with a MysteriousPast from Coco Village who joins Luffy after they go after the same map to the Grand Line. |
| 210 | ---- |
| 211 | * AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: In the manga/anime, Nami secretly told Nojiko about her plan to buy their village back from Arlong, which Nojiko then secretly told the other villagers, meaning that all of them were [[SecretSecretKeeper Secret Secret Keepers]] who only pretended to hate Nami in order to not arouse Arlong's suspicions. In this series, Nami never told Nojiko the truth, meaning Nami was genuinely ostracized by her village until they found out why Nami was working for Arlong. |
| 212 | * AdaptationalBadass: While Nami wasn't ''defenseless'' early in the story and was still good with her bo staff, this Nami is a lot more acrobatic and able to fight using martial arts. |
| 213 | * AdaptationalConsent: A non-sexual example. In the manga, Arlong kidnapped Nami as a child and forced her to become his cartographer. In the series, Nami willingly went to see Arlong and offered to become his cartographer on her own volition. |
| 214 | * AdaptationalDyeJob: Nami has blue eyes like her actress instead of brown eyes. |
| 215 | * AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: In the manga, Nami first appeared in the Orange Town arc where she also met Luffy and Zoro. Here, she appears in the first episode, which is based on and titled after the Romance Dawn arc which she did not appear in till afterwards. This is due to the Grand Line map belonging to the Marines instead of Buggy. |
| 216 | * AdaptationalJerkass: In the manga, Nami swears only to steal from pirates. Here, she steals from Kaya's estate, justifying it with an EatTheRich attitude. Downplayed, as once Nami gets to know [[SpoiledSweet Kaya]] (especially when she lets her take her heirlooms), she regrets stealing from her, and doesn't steal from any other civilians. |
| 217 | * AdaptationalModesty: While she wears the same outfits as in the manga, they are designed to be slightly less revealing. Nami is also less prone to use her sex appeal to get what she wants. |
| 218 | * AdaptationalNiceGirl: While she still gets annoyed with her crewmates' antics, Nami is significantly less short-tempered than she is in the original series, and has never hit the other Straw Hats, something her original counterpart was known for. |
| 219 | * AintTooProudToBeg: After finding out that Arlong had just doublecrossed her (and had ''always'' planned on going back on their agreement), Nami quietly asks Luffy for his help. |
| 220 | * AntiHero: Despite being a thief on Arlong's payroll who initially only journeyed with Luffy and Zoro out of convenience, she's still compassionate enough to only target criminals and shows great concern over the safety of Luffy and Zoro when they're both defeated at Baratie. She also feels guilty stealing from the wealthy heiress Kaya due to her kindly nature. |
| 221 | * AgeLift: A minor example. In the manga/anime, Nami was an infant when Belle-Mère found her and Nojiko. In this adaptation, Belle-Mère found Nami as a toddler. |
| 222 | * BeautyBrainsAndBrawn: Nami's the Brains to Nojiko's Beauty and Belle-Mère's Brawn. |
| 223 | * BecomingTheMask: Nami planned to spy on Luffy while pretending to be his crewmate. By the time she's ready to rejoin with Arlong, Nami feels a genuine sense of camaraderie with the Straw Hats as she requests Arlong not deal Luffy a fatal blow, and she chooses to officially join Luffy's crew once he defeats Arlong. |
| 224 | * BrokenBird: Beneath Nami's tough exterior is a frightened and wounded girl left jaded by her cruel past. The Straw Hat Pirates, Luffy especially, slowly manages to make Nami have hope again. |
| 225 | * ChildProdigy: Nami was able to draw some accurate maps from a very young age. |
| 226 | * ColorMotif: Nami's hair is a vivid orange and she was adopted by a tangerine farmer. |
| 227 | * CruelToBeKind: When Arlong catches up to the Straw Hats, Nami tells Luffy she's been working for Arlong this whole time and she cared little for Luffy and the others. In reality, this was just to discourage Luffy from following her and risking his life. |
| 228 | * CynicismCatalyst: Nami is determined to never be as afraid and helpless as she was when Arlong murdered her adoptive mother as a little girl, but believes she must do this by using people and relying only on herself. |
| 229 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: Just like in the source material, Nami's village came under attack by the Arlong Pirates and she was forced to work for them after being ForcedToWatch her adoptive mother get killed in cold blood. |
| 230 | * DeadpanSnarker: Regularly makes dry remarks, especially towards the other Straw Hats. |
| 231 | * DefrostingIceQueen: Witnessing Luffy go up against Arlong by himself convinced Nami to join his crew for real. |
| 232 | * {{Deuteragonist}}: It's subtly done, but the entirety of Season 1 has Nami's story as the overarching sub-plot for the Straw Hats and the East Blue as a whole from the very beginning, with her covertly contacting Arlong, retrieving the map he wants, and ultimately "betraying" Luffy, up until Arlong becomes the DiscOneFinalBoss and she's finally freed. Fittingly, she's the one main character aside from Koby who shows the most character development in the first season, and who doesn't fully commit to the crew until Luffy finally defeats the man who caused her so much pain and anguish. |
| 233 | %%* DudeMagnet: Nami is a very beautiful woman and gets the attention of several men through the season, both marines and pirates. And of course, Sanji falls in love with her immediatly. |
| 234 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: Nami is introduced as a lone sailor on a small dingy who encounters a pirate's ship. She begs for their help but can only watch as they intend to take her treasure box. When the pirates open the box, however, they find that it's empty, and Nami has already absconded with their pirate ship, showing her to be a crafty and manipulative thief with no respect for pirates. |
| 235 | * FatalFlaw: Even moreso than in the source material at the start, she brings a whole lot of misery onto herself by [[IWorkAlone insisting on doing things on her own]] under the belief that she's keeping everyone else out of harm's way. She spent her whole childhood being ostracized by her village because, unlike in the manga/anime where they became [[SecretSecretKeeper Secret Secret Keepers]] due to Nami telling Nojiko, she believed it was better to let them believe she had allied with Arlong. Moreover her belief that only her sole plan of buying the village back from Arlong was going to save it? It turns out to be AllForNothing when Arlong reveals he was never planning to honor it. It's only when other Straw Hats decide to get involved and help her that she successfully drives Arlong's crew out. |
| 236 | * FiveFingerDiscount: Just like in the source material she's a highly competent pickpocket, first shown when she stole Morgan's key without him or anyone realizing it. |
| 237 | * FoodAsCharacterization: Tangerines. The Going Merry incorporates tangerine bushels to give Nami a sense of belonging, and she later replaces her fishman tattoo with a tangerine and pinwheel design. |
| 238 | * GoodAllAlong: Despite working for Arlong, it's gradually revealed that Nami is building up a nest egg so she can buy her village back from him. |
| 239 | * GuileHero: Especially in the pilot episode, which saw her tricking some pirates so that she could steal their ship, then smooth-talking Morgan out his suspicion of her. |
| 240 | * HiddenHeartOfGold: Nami puts up a cold and detached front, denying that she is part of the Straw Hat Pirates and even letting Nojiko believe that she is betraying their mother Belle-mere's memory by allying with Arlong. However, she does this only to keep people away from the dangerous line of work she's involved with. |
| 241 | * ImageSong: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USY2aUSaqwc My Sails Are Set]]" |
| 242 | * LegFocus: As in the original, Nami often wears skirts and shorts emphasizing her long legs. |
| 243 | * LovableRogue: A professional thief that at first wouldn't think twice about robbing and screwing over any target. But deep down she's actually quite noble given that her horde of treasure was intended to buy back her village from Arlong. |
| 244 | * MadeASlave: Upon realizing she was a cartography prodigy, Arlong chained child Nami up in his castle's map room and had her drawing sea charts until her fingers bled. |
| 245 | * MarkOfShame: Like in the original, Nami has the tattoo of the Arlong Pirates' Jolly Roger on her left shoulder. She uses her dagger to stab at it during her HeroicBSOD and eventually covers it up with a tangerine and pinwheel pattern in tribute to Belle-mère and Genzo. |
| 246 | * MartialArtsStaff: She uses a collapsible wooden staff whenever she engages in combat, and utilizing more acrobatic moves compared to the original source material. |
| 247 | * MeaningfulAppearance: Initially Nami wore sleeved shirts to hide the fishman tattoo on her shoulder. Once she's outed as an agent of Arlong, she switches to tank shirts, leaving the tattoo exposed. |
| 248 | * MsFanservice: While she's [[TamerAndChaster not as sexualized as she was in the manga]], Buggy does come close to remarking that she has a nice ass. |
| 249 | * TheNavigator: A natural when it comes to charting maps. Arlong even says that her maps are better than any he's ever seen, human or fishman, which is why he wanted to enslave Nami. |
| 250 | * OnlySaneWoman: She lacks the... ''eccentricities'' of the rest of the crew, and as such she often finds herself being the voice of reason within the more extreme moments. Downplayed in that she shares this attitude with Zoro, although she does have to talk some sense into ''him'' from time to time. |
| 251 | -->'''Zoro:''' Do you think he [Luffy] has brain damage? |
| 252 | -->'''Nami:''' I think that everyday. |
| 253 | * PirateGirl: While Nami claims to despise pirates, her seafaring and thievery do little to distinguish her from the classic definition. |
| 254 | * PsychologicalProjection: Nami is quick to suspect Luffy is up to something underhanded when it's discovered he's the grandson of a Vice-Admiral, when all she needed was to look at [[IdiotHero the kind of man Luffy is]] to realize he simply didn't see it as a big deal. |
| 255 | * RefugeInAudacity: She knocks Nezumi into unconsciousness. ''In front of Vice-Admiral Garp''. Admittedly, Garp had proven himself to be a surprisingly ReasonableAuthorityFigure by then, but it's still impressive. |
| 256 | * {{Safecracking}}: She knows how to crack safes by listening to the tumblers spinning, and the only reason why it took that long with Morgan's safe was the fighting and Luffy bothering her. |
| 257 | * TheSchlubPubSeductionDeduction: Flirts with a Marine in the first episode, specifically targeting one close enough to her size that she can steal his uniform. |
| 258 | * SelfHarm: When Arlong screws her over, Nami stabs at her shoulder tattoo in impotent rage. |
| 259 | * TheSmurfettePrinciple: Nami is the only woman of the initial five crew members of the Straw Hats. |
| 260 | ** Like in the manga, she also seems to be the only female member of Arlong's crew. |
| 261 | * StealingFromThieves: Nami's EstablishingCharacterMoment shows her tricking a pair of Buggy's pirates into helping themselves to her treasure chest, then absconding their vessel as soon as they discover the chest was empty. She also reconsiders stealing from Kaya and generally leaves civilians alone unless they're excessively wealthy. |
| 262 | * StickyFingers: Nami was adept at stealing since an early age. |
| 263 | * TattooConcealsScars: After Arlong reneges on their deal, Nami stabs her tattoo before having it reworked into a tribute to her home. |
| 264 | * TattooedCrook: Nami sports two different tattoos on her left shoulder. The first is one of Arlong's Jolly Rodger, but she eventually covers over it with a light blue tangerine and pinwheel design to honor her mother and her hometown. |
| 265 | * TelescopingStaff: Her weapons of choice is a bo staff that can expand and collapse at will. |
| 266 | * TheThreeFacesOfEve: In her surrogate family, Nami's the Seductress. She relies on cunning and deception to get what she wants, having demonstrated a talent for theft from childhood and being willing to work for her village's oppressors if that's what it takes to protect them. |
| 267 | * TokenHuman: Before joining the Straw Hats, Nami was the only human on Arlong's crew. |
| 268 | * VitriolicBestBuds: Zoro and Nami have this dynamic when the Straw Hat crew was a trio, though it is toned down once Nami becomes more comfortable with them. Unlike Zoro and Sanji's barbed insults, Zoro and Nami's banter is more like teasing. |
| 269 | * WhatYouAreInTheDark: Nami tries to put up the face of being a mercenary and selfish thief. She was more than willing to start ransacking Kaya's mansion while she was asleep before accidentally stumbling upon her bedroom, and ending up striking a friendship up with her. When Kaya even allows her to keep what she stole, she instead puts everything back without Kaya realizing. |
| 270 | * WoundedGazelleGambit: Buggy's pirates never saw her coming. After pretending to be too weakened by the sun and starvation to put up any resistance, Nami leaves them with a dinghy and an empty chest while she makes off with a more spacious boat. |
| 271 | * YouKilledMyMother: She deeply resents Arlong for killing her adoptive mother, Belle-mère, but was still pragmatic enough to willingly join his crew and try to buy her village's freedom [[ILied until she realized that Arlong never intended to honor his end of the bargain]]. |

| 281 | ->''"That's where you're wrong. I know they're coming. Any day now. But fear not, the great Captain Usopp will protect you!"'' |
| 282 | |
| 283 | An aspiring great warrior of the sea from Syrup Village with a habit of lying. |
| 284 | ---- |
| 285 | * AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: When he first learns that Luffy knew his father, he has a displeased look on his face that implies that he harbors resentment towards Yasopp for walking out on him and his mother. And because the Usopp Pirates were adapted out in this setting, he had to face both Kuro and the emotional fallout of being treated as a liar ''alone''. |
| 286 | * AdaptationalAttractiveness: He lacks the long, Pinocchio-like nose he had in the manga or anime, along with more chiseled facial features and a more diverse wardrobe. |
| 287 | * AdaptationalBadass: Zigzagged: |
| 288 | ** On the one hand, though Usopp is still one who prefers avoiding fights, his [[CowardlyLion cowardice]] is nowhere near as pronounced this time around and never even considers abandoning his friends when things get dicey. Instead he's simply shown to be more tactical than his combat-loving crewmates. |
| 289 | ** On the other hand, the overwhelming majority of Usopp's manga fights before the Arlong arc, in which he displays feats of surprising [[ActionSurvivor athleticism]] and [[MadeOfIron durability]], are AdaptedOut. Instead, it takes until the last episode for his marksmanship skills to be successfully applied in combat. [[spoiler:The one instance that he ''tries'' is a failed attempt to [[EpicFail use the Merry's cannons]] against attacking Marines that leaves the eternally optimistic Luffy in StunnedSilence.]] |
| 290 | * AdaptationalHairstyleChange: Usopp's known for his poofy black hair in the source material whereas here he keeps his hair in tight braids. |
| 291 | * AdaptationalSympathy: Usopp's cold feet are treated less as a hilarious character flaw, and more as the understandable reaction a village boy with no training would have after getting thrust into a conflict between super-pirates. |
| 292 | * AdaptationDyeJob: His eyes are black in the manga and dark brown in the live-action series. |
| 293 | * AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: In the manga, it's implied that he and Kaya may have feelings for each other, but they are still JustFriends by the time he joins the Straw Hats. [[spoiler: Here, the implication is a lot more explicit. She even kisses him goodbye before he leaves, and he's clearly very happy with it.]] |
| 294 | * BadassBoast: He wouldn't be Usopp unless he bragged as often as he breathes. |
| 295 | * BadassesWearBandanas: Usopp is rarely seen without a bandanna and while he's overshadowed by the insane fighting techniques of some of his crewmates, he's still wily enough to take down a [[CoDragons powerful]] Fishman. |
| 296 | * BadLiar: Pretty much everyone can see through his tall tales. Usually Kaya and Luffy let them slide because they've accepted the lying is part of Usopp's charm. |
| 297 | * BratsWithSlingshots: Usopp's weapon of choice. He turns it into a serious weapon by developing combustible pellets. |
| 298 | * CassandraTruth: Just like in the source material, due to his CryingWolf antics, no one in Syrup Village believes him when he tries to tell them that Kaya's staff are secretly pirates. |
| 299 | * CombatPragmatist: Usopp is neither superhuman like Luffy, nor a trained fighter like Zoro and Sanji, so he can only win battles by fighting smart and dirty. |
| 300 | * CowardlyLion: Usopp isn't the bravest of souls. But when push comes to shove he will stand up for what's right and put his life on his line for his friends. |
| 301 | * GenerationXerox: Just like his father, Usopp is a FriendlySniper who joins the crew of a captain wearing a straw hat and setting sail for the Grand Line. |
| 302 | * TheGreatestStoryNeverTold: [[spoiler:During the fight in Arlong Park, Usopp manages to defeat Chew all by himself... and no one else is around to witness it.]] |
| 303 | * LetsGetDangerous: Has this moment at the battle at Alrong Park during his confrontation with Chew. Despite being smaller and weaker than the fishman, Usopp is able to use his wits and skills to take out his opponent decisively. |
| 304 | * LongRangeFighter: Due to lacking any real combat training, Usopp is entirely reliant on his slingshot and trick ammo. |
| 305 | * MilesGloriosus: Usopp goes around telling everybody he's the ship's captain. Luffy generally lets it slide because his stories are entertaining. |
| 306 | * NeverBareheaded: Ever since he was a child, Usopp has always worn a bandanna. He briefly wore a two-cornered sailor's hat while hanging out at the Baratie. |
| 307 | * NoShirtLongJacket: His "formal" wear while visiting the Baratie consists of a captain's coat with no shirt underneath. |
| 308 | * OvershadowedByAwesome: In a crew with a rubber skinned captain, an expert swordsman, a skilled thief and a chef/martial artist, Usopp is a bit out of his league. Subverted in that he joins the crew in order to improve his skills, and the fight at Arlong Park does show how his skills as a sharpshooter can be useful. |
| 309 | * SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: When asked if Kaya is his girlfriend, Usopp insists they're JustFriends since he doesn't think he actually has a chance with a beautiful rich girl. |
| 310 | * SmallNameBigEgo: He brings a swaggering confidence whenever the Straw Hats are socializing, outright telling everyone that he's the real captain. |
| 311 | * StepfordSmiler: As the rest of the Straw Hat crew announce their ambitions, Usopp pauses and thinks back to his mother's dying moments. Not wanting to bring the mood down, he improvises a goal with appropriate enthusiasm. |
| 312 | * TheStoryteller: It's what makes Usopp's lies so endearing. He was able to charm Kaya by regularly telling her outrageous stories of his nonexistent adventures. |
| 313 | * TrickBullet: He develops explosive pellets shortly before going up against Arlong's crew. |
| 314 | * WoundedGazelleGambit: Usopp fools Chew into believing he'd killed the young pirate, but in reality Usopp had a bottle of ketchup hidden on his person to emulate blood. As soon as Chew's guard was down, Usopp made his move. |

| 325 | |
| 326 | A master chef and martial artist who works at the Baratie Restaurant. |
| 327 | ---- |
| 328 | * AdaptationDyeJob: This version of Sanji has Taz Skylar's natural blue/green eyes, as opposed to his manga counterpart's black eyes. |
| 329 | * AdaptationalCurves: He's a rail-thin pretty boy in the manga, but a muscular hunk in the live action series. Just don't expect to see it too often, as he wears a suit most of the time. |
| 330 | * AdaptationalHairstyleChange: While his hair covers one of his eyes in the manga and anime, the live-action version occasionally shows both of his eyes. This version of Sanji also lacks his anime counterparts signature curly eyebrows. |
| 331 | %%* AdaptationalHeroism: Downplayed since Sanji wasn’t a villain in the original manga, but still present. While Sanji in the anime and manga is a good person, he is still a pervert that regularly harasses women while also being an asshole with men most of the time, sometimes implying he values women's lives more than men (including his own male crewmates). Sanji here is depicted as being respectful to both women and men, even if he still flirts with women a lot, and overall is never a jerk toward men unless they give him a reason to. He also decides to help Luffy the moment he hears Zoro is in danger, for no other reason besides Zoro being someone important to Luffy, while the original Sanji has been unsympathetic or uncaring to the well-being of his male crewmates several times. |
| 332 | * AdaptationalPersonalityChange: Downplayed. Sanji still contains some of his main characteristics like his romantic and lecherous tendencies, falling for Nami and any other attractive woman at first glance, and his incredible skills in cooking and martial arts. However, he has probably the most noticeable changes to his character than the other Straw Hats. For example, he's portrayed as less of a JerkWithAHeartOfGold who was dismissive but respectful to his friends and crewmates and more of a pleasant gentleman who only shows some irritation to those that really get on his nerves like Zeff. His lecherous and over-the-top affections for women are significantly toned down as Sanji comes off as far less creepy and more suave and gentleman-like. His affections towards Nami and other ladies are more mildly flirtatious than outright stalker like too and shows far more respect for others women's boundaries. While he still gets into fights with Zoro, he shows no irritation of any sort towards Luffy and Usopp. |
| 333 | * AdaptationalNiceGuy: His infamous lecherous tendencies from the manga and anime are hugely toned down in the live-action series to him just being mildly flirtatious towards the ladies. He's also much less irritated with Luffy and Usopp than his manga counterpart and is generally pleasant overall - but less so with Zoro, who he actually becomes venomous with ''sooner'' than in the manga. |
| 334 | * AdaptedOut: During his anime/manga self's first fight, Sanji would explain his use of [[ExtremityExtremist only kicks]] in battle by pointing out that as a chef, his hands are his livelihood, so he can't risk damaging them. He gives no such explanation here. |
| 335 | * AffectionateNickname: Zeff has called Sanji "Little Eggplant" since the night they met. |
| 336 | * AlmightyJanitor: A chef and put-upon waiter who can send a fishman flying with his powerful kicks. |
| 337 | * TheApprentice: To Zeff, after the old pirate retired and set up a restaurant. He considers Sanji his heir not just to his cooking expertise or kick-based fighting style, but his dream of finding the fabled All Blue. |
| 338 | * BackToBackBadasses: Fights side-by-side with Zoro while fighting the Arlong Pirates. |
| 339 | * BadassInANiceSuit: Aside from his brief introduction when he was wearing a chef's uniform, Sanji always wears a black suit with a pinstriped shirt even when preparing for combat. |
| 340 | * BadassNormal: Able to fight on par with the infamous Pirate Hunter Zoro through seemingly nothing but sheer skill. |
| 341 | * BerserkButton: Hilariously, trying to season his food with oregano was one when he was a child. As an adult, he's more annoyed and disgusted with it than outright murderous. |
| 342 | --> '''Young Sanji:''' ''"OREGANO IS FOR SAVAGES!"'' |
| 343 | * BigDamnHeroes: During the fight in Arlong Park, he suddenly comes flying in and delivers a kick to a Fishman who rose from the waters to attempt an ambush on Zoro, knocking him back into the water. |
| 344 | * CasanovaWannabe: His actual attempts to romance women result in them either being completely oblivious to his hints or bluntly turning him down. He takes the rejections in stride, however. |
| 345 | * TheCharmer: While he's still flirtatious with the ladies as always, this version of Sanji exhibits far more restraint and respect for boundaries, making him genuinely charming compared to his hopeless CasanovaWannabe manga/anime counterpart. |
| 346 | * ChefOfIron: A skilled cook whose legs carry a CharlesAtlasSuperpower. He even names some of his moves after fine foods. |
| 347 | * ChildProdigy: Flashbacks reveal Sanji had passion and skill for cooking even as a little boy. |
| 348 | * ChivalrousPervert: Flirts with every lady he comes across, but in a respectful manner. |
| 349 | * CulturedBadass: Sanji's biggest frustration with working at Baratie was that Zeff had no interest in his more elaborate dishes. |
| 350 | * DoesNotLikeSpam: Has a strong disdain for oregano. |
| 351 | * EccentricArtist: Sanji feels stifled by his job on the Baratie, mainly because no patron has the palette for his creative dishes. |
| 352 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: In his debut appearance, Sanji makes a dish that is incredibly creative, but too complex to be understood. This gets him in a heated argument with Zeff; Zeff calls Sanji's dishes "crap", while Sanji protests that he will "die of boredom" if he makes another medium-well steak again. This establishes Sanji as a brilliant chef whose creations and dreams are far beyond what the more simplistic Baratie can provide him. |
| 353 | * ExtremityExtremist: Sanji only ever fights using kicks, since as a cook he needs to keep his hands safe. |
| 354 | * HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: He's the only blonde member of the Straw Hat crew and has a gallant nature. |
| 355 | * HandsomeLech: He flirts with Nami and Nojiko as soon as he lays eyes on them and is a SharpDressedMan with a toned build and striking features. |
| 356 | * HappilyAdopted: Sanji and Zeff have stayed together since they survived being shipwrecked, and the man trained him in cooking and fighting. They might bicker constantly, but he considers Zeff his father, and the feeling is fully returned by Zeff. |
| 357 | * HeroicBuild: While it's difficult to tell when he's wearing his usual suit, when Sanji strips off his shirt to save Luffy from drowning in episode 6 he's shown to be jacked. |
| 358 | * JerkassToOne: He's a generally friendly guy all around, except when it comes to Zoro, who he does nothing but trade barbs with. |
| 359 | * NiceGuy: He's far less of a JerkWithAHeartOfGold like his anime counterpart and is more of a charming, polite, gentleman who only shows some irritation to those who ''really'' get on his nerves....and even those people he will still show some respect to. He's a cheerful young man who doesn't hesitate to feed a traumatized castaway. |
| 360 | * MrFanservice: He's not that bad on the eyes already, but then we're treated to a full shirtless scene of him when he rescues Luffy from drowning. |
| 361 | * OpposeWhatYouSuffered: Having nearly starved to death as a child, Sanji now refuses to let anyone go hungry on his watch. |
| 362 | * PrettyBoy: He's the most conventionally attractive of the male members of Luffy's crew, with his immaculate hair and dress sense. |
| 363 | * RealMenCook: He's been cooking on ships ever since he was a child and between his DarkAndTroubledPast and his powerful kicks, Sanji's masculinity is well-illustrated. |
| 364 | * SharpDressedMan: Sanji always wears a black suit with a pinstriped shirt. |
| 365 | * SmokingIsCool: Sanji is a smoker, which helps sell his classy, badass look. Compared to the manga, where he's always lighting up, he only smokes to pass the time. |
| 366 | * StrangeMindsThinkAlike: Just like Luffy, Sanji gets a high out of calling his attacks in the heat of combat. Zoro notes that Sanji will fit right in with their crew. |
| 367 | %%* StrongAndSkilled: Sanji is a very skilled martial artist who can fight only using his legs, as well as being powerful enough to keep up, and defeat, several fish men, even though they all have superhuman abilities. Luffy is quite impressed by his combat skills as well. |
| 368 | * SultryBangs: His hair usually covers his left eye to complement his flirtatious nature. |
| 369 | * SupremeChef: His specialty is the Blue Sea's equivalent of haute cuisine. |
| 370 | * TeamChef: Luffy makes him the Straw Hat Pirates' cook because his dishes are amazing. Even when he was working in a restaurant, Sanji was more ambitious about cooking than Zeff or the rest of the kitchen staff. |
| 371 | * VitriolicBestBuds: He and Zoro don't get off on the right foot immediately and spend most of their time afterwards arguing, but they do still come to care about each other, even if neither one really wants to admit it. |
