The you must be at the ultimate levels of blindness to not seeing this :goyea::







Not to mention, to not see the name of a character :myman:
You can keep spamming black and white panels and non official colors all you want, GB of the white blade still a bum with Sentomaru level haki with the manga and databooks portraying him as nothing more than a DF merchant. :kobeha:


Fuji is 99% a Shimotsuki, even his backstory involves gambling. :bamathink:

Bullets don't hurt. But Taxes do.

Since Oda is blatantly using movie characters played the character models for backstories, I took a deeper look at Akainu's model. So he's obviously modeled after Bunta Sugawara, but his personality and backstory is based off Bunta's character Shozo Hirono from Battles without Honor and Humanity.

Hirono was a yakuza who killed a swordsman to uphold his gang's rep and was sent to prison. He made plenty of brotherly oaths via sake cups(one of them Kizaru's character) and all was good. However, the conflict of the show is Hirono seeing his brothers betray and kill each other as time passed. Hirono himself was betrayed and sold out multiple times. It got to the point where Hirono denounced all brotherly ties and went solo on a revenge quest. At the end of the day, the only one he had left was Kizaru's character. Hirono's character was very loyal and headstrong, and hated guys who ran away or turned their backs on the family(sound familiar?).

In MF, Akainu killed a marine for desertion, mocked WB's make believe family, made Squadro betray WB and is very thorough. Sounds like Akainu himself was a criminal in his youth that got betrayed by his brothers, so he joined the Marines(at the same time as Kizaru don't forget) to eliminate scummy criminals to get justice.

Very interesting.

You see all the news? Fuji/Aramaki backstories, Kizaru being imperceptible to Saturn, etc?
I only saw the Kizaru part.

Bro someone needs to make a Kizaru megathread, this dude is insane. He was toying with G4 Snakeman, and confirmed actively throwing against G5 and still had Luffy at his absolute limit gassed out.

Kizaru is absolutely mental. No wonder this mfer was casual about intercepting Kaidou and BM.

I guess Luffy's initial reaction when he felt Kizaru presence wasn't exaggerated :


Luckily for the crew this wasn't Big Business Borsalino
 
I mean it was obvious for anybody that can read, that Kizaru was always pretending. Kizaru was not even bleeding nor unconscious after Luffy's attack, so how would it make him not able to move? He also stated multiple times he doesn't wanna kill VP. That was the perfect chance of staying low. I think the reason he said ''This isn't good'' is because Saturn got on the Island and it would make it more difficult to let VP escape.
