@Fujishiro . Hail the Chadmiral agenda which will always claim victory in the end.
So here are my thoughts.
Ryokugyu:
There is honestly not much that is surprising here. Ryokugyu is like if Oda made “police brutality” an Admiral. Finding out that he is an ex cop is like finding out that Big Mom has breast-fed in the past. It is not exactly surprising.
Finding out that he was a womanizer is also not surprising. I have talked in the past about the version of Aramaki from the movie Robin Gai. You can actually watch that movie right now on the Criterion Channel for $10/month along with dozens of Zatoichi movies. In Ronin Gai, Aramaki is a massive womanizer. He is having sex with his town’s number one most expensive prostitute as well as the wife of the local Shogunate/Lord or whatever. The prostitute knows that he is just having sex with her for her money, and the local Lordess is just using him for the D, both of them know he isn’t faithful and neither of them care.
RG Aramaki is an absolutely massive womanizer. So it’s not surprising to me to learn that One Piece Aramaki got his ass thrown in prison for causing some scandal with some woman.
What
is surprising is that Aramaki and Fujitora have both done time in prison at all. I love this development. I have always wanted to know the reason for why both of them are so extreme, and I think this makes a lot of sense. These guys are both hardened convicts lmfao. I just love the idea of two Admirals who have done time in the clink.
Fujitora: This is the surprising backstory. Everything about this shit. I love it, don't get me wrong lmfao.
Him getting thrown into prison for incurring gambling losses is hilarious and further illustrates his gambling theme, so that’s great.
Him working as a body guard when the WG “bought” him is very interesting, I wonder about that translation. Fujitora essentially being bought like a slave by the WG would be awesome and would just further characterize him as the “man of the people” Admiral.
Him being a War criminal ex military chief of some Kingdom that was destroyed by a War? And Issho being a war criminal???
So one of two things happened:
Either Fujitora ain’t a war criminal and it is propaganda that he is one,
Or Fujitora is in fact a legitimate war criminal who committed some heinous acts during the war.
Either way, GOAT status. I think I’d rather find out that he is a war criminal who killed a shit ton of enemies who served a corrupt kingdom than him just being Kuma the Tyrant 2.0. Oda should make Issho and Aramaki hard as fuck.
Anyway. Fine reveals. Whatever. I hope we get some of this in the manga.
