Edit: corrected

A trope for Big Mom

For the Orochi Oniwabasu in general: [It was just to explain for whom these tropes are, there's already a folder]

  • Ninja: They're an entire team of trained ninjas, and are stealthy enough to sneak behind Nico Robin without being noticed.
  • No Historical Figures Were Harmed: They take inspiration from the Oniwaban, a group of security guards and spies in the service of the Shogun during the feudal era. Fittingly, they're Orochi's (Wano's Shogun) team of personal guards.
  • Two Girls to a Team: Of the eleven members, not counting those whose gender can't be identified, only two are female.

For Fukurokuju

  • Expy: He's named after one of the Seven Gods of Luck of Japanese mythology, and has the same elongated head.
  • Sinister Shades: Wears a pair of shades and is the leader of the corrupted Orochi's bodyguards.

For Nico Robin

  • Oh, Crap!: A subtle one, since she's The Stoic, but she's clearly caught by surprise when she sees that all of Orochi Oniwabasu have sneaked up right behind her!

for the Minks as a Whole

  • World of Badass: Sure, One Piece's world itself is already this, but the Mink Tribe is notable since it's an island from the new world whose inhabitants are strong enough to resist several days of attack by an Emperor's crew. According to Monji's word, "Every Mink is a born warrior", and even the children are badasses.

for Bariete

  • Oh, Crap!: Due to the trauma of having recently fought Jack and his henchmen and later suffering tremendous tortures, he panics upon seeing the Straw Hats, and warns his people.

for Jerry

for Wanze:

  • Abnormal Ammo: With his Ramen Kenpo, he shoots ramen noodles... from his nose.
  • Cordon Bleugh Chef: This guy makes ramen by mixing the flour in his mouth with his saliva and then the noodles comes out of his nose! He even tries to offer it to Sanji and Usopp.

A new character

folder:Pinkbeard]]

Pinkbeard

"I received my name from my master, Blackbeard! Remember it! And fear Blackbeard!"

Captain of the Pinkbeard Pirates, a crew subordinate to the Blackbeard Pirates. He's seen pillaging a town for Blackbeard, until he's stopped by the Revolutionaries.


  • Captain Colorbeard: Of all colors, he's named Pinkbeard.
  • Dressed to Plunder: His overall appearance is like that of a stereotypical pirate, with a large bicorn, a coat worn as a cape, long hair and a goatee. He makes his debut by plundering a town, too.
  • Faux Affably Evil: When Moda explains that the townspeople are poor because they gather gold for an offering to the king and the celestial dragons, otherwise they will be killed, Pinkbeard appears visibly concerned. Then he slaps Moda and orders his men to look for that offering.
  • Hate Sink: Hides under Blackbeard's name to commit atrocious crimes and shows no positive qualities, making his defeat at the hands of the townspeople and the revolutionaries all of the more satisfying.
  • Only Known By Their Nick Name: He presents himself as Pinkbeard, claiming it's a name he received from Blackbeard, while his true name is never revealed.
  • Red Baron: Blackbeard gave him the name of Pinkbeard... although that's far from a scary name.
  • Signature Laugh: His laugh is "Momohahaha", which is a pun on his name Momohige.
  • Small Name, Big Ego: Uses the fame of the Blackbeard Pirates to plunder villages in their name. Not only does Blackbeard not care at all for him, but the Pinkbeard Pirates are easily overpowered by the townspeople motivated by Belo Betty's Pump-Pump fruit. Pinkbeard himself is defeated by Moda, a young girl, in a single hit.
  • Spell My Name With An S: His Japanese name (Momohige) can be translated as Peachbeard too, and on his ship's sails there are images of peaches. In this case, his name doubles as Edible Theme Naming.
  • The Worf Effect: The main role of his crew is to be easily defeated by the commanders of the Revolutionary Army and show how strong they are.
  • Would Hit a Girl: Slaps Moda, a young girl. After being motivated by Belo Betty's power, Moda batters him with a large stick.

for Orochi:

for Kyoshiro

  • Blood Knight: When chaos irrupt at Orochi's castle, and the shogun transform into his Orochi form, Kyoshiro declares that it will be a bloodbath while unsheating his katana.
  • A Father to His Men: Claims tha whoever joins his group by drinking sake is like a family member to him, and does everything in his power to avenge even his lower mooks.
  • Screw the Rules, I Have Connections!: Being the leader of a Yakuza group has its advantages, especially when you're allied with an Emperor who can sends off his strongest crewmembers just to avenge someone.

for Fukurokuji

  • Affably Evil: Downplayed, but he promises Nico Robin that if she answers sincerely they'll give a quick death instead of a painful torture.

for Komurasaki

  • Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?: She slaps Orochi to stops his attempts in killing Toko, and even scolds him, saying she's not afraid to stand up to him if she's believe she's right.
  • Morality Pet: While her flashback presents her as a greedy and deceiving woman, she has a soft spot for Toko, her kamuro. She also claims that, as a daughter of a samurai, she has a sense of honor.
  • Screw the Rules, I'm Beautiful!: The other oiran comments how Komurasaki always goes scott free from her actions because she's Wano's most beautiful woman.

for YMMV/RWBY

  • Author's Saving Throw: Volume 6 can be called "author saving throw: the volume" as it address most of the criticism the show gathered during the previous volume. The plot is much more dinamic, as opposed to the stagnant one of volume 5, it gave Ruby some necessary spotlight and finally addressed her silver eyes, it gives Adam Taurus back some of his badass image and a proper climatic battle and the main characters gets angry at Ozpin and calls him out after still trusting him in the past volume despite all of the secrets he kepts.

  • Franchise Original Sin: The show always had flawed writing and awkward dialogue since the beginning, but the fight scenes were so much over the top almost everyone doesn't notice it or is willing to close an eye. In volume 5, however, most of the fight scenes are replaced with boring moments of exposition, making the flaws much more apparent and resulting with the volume gathering a very poor reception compared to the others.

  • Holy Shit Quotient: The Reveal that previously there was another humanity that was wiped out by the gods when, under Salem's manipulations, it rebelled to them.

  • They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character: While many are happy that he gets a proper confrontation against Blake, instead of the anticlimatic one of Volume 5, as much as many are still disappointed that Adam Taurus potential as a compelling villain is reduced to an evil ex-boyfriend and his death means there won't be more chances for him.

  • Blush Stickers: He has pink dots on his cheeks, but in this case they don't make him look any cuter.
  • Gag Lips: Has a protruding mouth (with very large lips) which can spit water. It's also a Visual Pun on his fish-type Japanese name (Kisu also means "kiss"), since his lips resemble those of a kissing mouth.

Small description for Kuroobi and tropes

He's very arrogant and cruel, even by the crew's standards, and the only one to not completely trust Nami.

He's a master of Fishman Karate, a fighting style practiced only by fishmen.

Well, grammal help please. —-

  • Fullmetal Alchemist (2003 anime): The Isvalan better known as Scar used to live normally until his older brother realized a human transmutation to revive his girlfriend, unknowingly creating the homunculus Lust. During the Isvalan genocide, Scar was saved for said brother, who sacrificed his arm and life to ensure his survival. Decided to take revenge on the Amestrian State Alchemists, Scar goes to Central and mercy-kill the suffering Nina Tucker before fighting Edward Elric. Years later, Scar continues with his one-man crusade and crosses paths with the Elric brothers, constantly fighting and sparing them—especially Alphonse—as they remind him of his past and even working together sometimes. Discovering the real nature of his arm as an incomplete Philosopher's Stone, Scar decides to finish what his brother started and travels to the war-torn city of Reole, where he leads and protects the civilians, creates a city-wide transmutation symbol and tricks the Amestrian soldiers to their deaths with the help of Lust—who acknowledged their shared past after meeting him—while the civilians evacuate. A genocide survivor determined to succeed, Scar uses his last moments to save Alphonse and finish the transmutation, dying while thinking on the Elric brothers, his brother and his own guilt.

~Rippingston60, the example lacks context. The example needs to show how a character is The Dragon.

The Dragon: Mr. Snelgrave is this to Dawg along with Dawg's unnamed bald First Mate.

It is also unclear if Mr. Snelgrave is The Dragon to both Dawg and the First Mate, or if First Mate is another The Dragon to Dawg (in which case, the more suitable trope would probably be Co-Dragons).
