Character Discussion Nami's Origins
- Thread starter Yoho
- Start date
Some food for thought too:
Enel "found Birka" on the moon too but "Birka was destroyed" by him before too?
I always thought WCI or Elbaf will be Nami's arc due to her being Swedish and children being a huge importance and thus theme to her and such.
Lmao yeah for sure! Gild Tesoro was her ultimate nemesis too lmao. He should have been a D too, would have been far too fitting. Given what the Celestial Dragons are like and such, I'm torn between Nami being a D. or or a Celestial Dragon, the latter I mean because I think a Strawhat will be a Celestial by heritage, as discussed on here elsewhere at least recently and we need to see the forbidden romance lovechild of a Celestial and D clan member, although I expect it to be Luffy and why we don't know anything about his mother too.
Its funny how Nami's childhood friend was one of the main topics of the film there too, so random but maybe it was intended for the actual canon story instead too? I think Oda said the same thing about the Strong World movie
Could also be Dragon and thus Luffy would be one too by heritage, if a Celestial Dragon was Dragon's mother and thus Garp's wife instead? Maybe Dragon's whole sentiment about children being a parent's weak spot is not just in reference to Luffy but also due to potentially his own mother getting killed and somehow he feels it was his fault, he was burdened and thus traumatised by it? All completely blind speculation/assumption though ofc.
Ah yeah herp a derp, it was discussed here already by Terabyte ofc!:
But yeah, I can't see Nami fighting a Gorosei solo and winning tbh, she struggled against Ulti and was helpless against S-Shark and such. I am really disappointed she didn't learn haki from fighting Ulti and Page One, same with Usopp (CoA for him and forcibly training CoO into FS on the spot too) BUT I'm sure she's gonna get a new powerup this arc even, maybe even Pandora as I suspect is still alive and in the Heaven Realm, maybe acting as a "Sun God" there or and a Mother Flame type role? Hehehe, a "Mother Flame" for Nami, how fitting lol.
The whole thing Emeth did with the haki rope trick was also a nod to the wind knot rope thing from Weatheria that Nami learned about and I'm praying Oda will give her more weather abilities than just lightning spam but that feels mostly a lost cause now too.
Whatever Nami's origins are will probably serve as her true powerup one way or another though and then there's the whole "power of love" thing that is relevant majorly right now and she can hurt Luffy with her punches somehow like how Garp can, he uses "fist of love" too, coincidence? HELL NAH!
Putting all of this in a quote block as tons of images and random ramblings lol:

Corazon means Heart in regards to Love too and Law is with the "HEART" Pirates.
There's probably something in the TWENTY, yes 20 LOL scrapped plot ideas for Film Red too for Nami ofc, I can't remember them all but Oda will have Elbaf/giant sized things planned for Nami and it's coming soon for sure!
Since we have another Shepherd with Sommers and thus relative of Ju Peter one of the Gorosei ofc, maybe instead of Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro, Nami could face a relative of his? Maybe a female one as Oda loves to give Nami female opponents too? The whole middle name abbreviation thing also suggest Nusjuro has some western influences beyond the family name Ethanbaron too. Wano was known as the country of gold, just like Shandora was the city of gold too. Oda is cooking something HUGE here.
As I said before too, Shirahoshi said Nami felt really familiar and safe to her. We are NOT ready for whatever Oda has planned for Nami, its gonna turn the whole world upside down, everything we know about her and the story! Oda loves Nami way too much to do any less, just ask his wife ofc hahaha!
Welp some interesting info I found too:
Nusjuro's name is based on Venus, the second planet in the real-life Solar System, keeping in relation with the planet-themed names of the Five Elders.
I was gonna say how the phrase "men are from mars and women are from venus" could tie into Nami and Nusjuro but I'm not sure how yet. Nusjuro was born female and got a gender change? Someone better tell Zoro, Tashigi and Koushiro! /s.
This is also all I can find about "Ethanbaron" too IRL:
Welp, pack it up lads and ladettes, I solved it:
Since Nami is from Oykot though, which sounds like Tokyo backwards, maybe Oykot was a fusion of western culture and Japanese/Wano culture, with expats from Wano, the ones who were said to flee Wano decades and set up in other islands in the One Piece world? Maybe Nusjuro is connected to there instead too?
Welp:
In the live-action series, Nami is seen reading a map labeled "The Sea King of the Great Oykot", and comparing it to the map of the East Blue shown in the series end credits. It seems the map shows the north side of the island, which resembles a serpentine monster in shape.[4]
HMMMM:
LOL RIP CARUE WTF:
HMMMMM AGAIN:
I hope my usual nonsenical rambling makes some sense at least anyway lol. I know theres a LOT of spam and to disgest here but I am trying to explain my insane hyperactive scatterbrains musings somehow LMAO.

There's a lot to potentially work with:
She was found in a warzone as an infant, same as Shanks who's turned out to have CD blood. A lot of major groups have one member with CD blood (Emperors, Warlords, Supernovas) and I wouldn't be surprised if Nami turns out to be the one with CD blood in the Straw Hats. I also saw a video pointing out similarities between Nami and Bonney, generally discussing Nami's potential heritage:
But then there's also her affinity for weather, having a supernatural sense for it and she seemed right at home in Skypiea with the waver and all. It could just be Nami's intellect on display, but then she also has further connections to the Sky Islands thanks to her time in Weatheria.
Finally, as you suggested, she could be lost royalty from Oykot Kingdom and it could be the reason why Nami is so frequently drawn with crowns; Oda has even commented on her having a "queenly" nature which is why Sanji addresses her with "-san" but every other woman with "-chan".
Either way, we're definitely in for another Nami backstory if Oda holds true to this:

Welp some interesting info I found too:
Nusjuro's name is based on Venus, the second planet in the real-life Solar System, keeping in relation with the planet-themed names of the Five Elders.
- Nusjuro's middle initial, V.（ブイ） and the characters of his given name -nasu (ナス?) roughly equals bīnasu (ビーナス?) or vīnasu (ヴィーナス?), the Japanese-English pronunciation of "Venus". In the English adaptation of the manga, Nusjuro's name retains this etymology by combining "V." (vee) and "Nus-".
- Nusjuro's title as the Warrior God of Finance references how in classical East Asian astrology, the planet Venus is considered the "Gold Planet" (Japanese: 金星, Kinsei?), representing "Metal" among the Chinese Five Elements, and gold is a valuable commodity in the world's financial systems.
I was gonna say how the phrase "men are from mars and women are from venus" could tie into Nami and Nusjuro but I'm not sure how yet. Nusjuro was born female and got a gender change? Someone better tell Zoro, Tashigi and Koushiro! /s.
This is also all I can find about "Ethanbaron" too IRL:
- Ethan: This is a male given name of Hebrew origin meaning "firm, enduring, strong, and long-lived." It appears in the Hebrew Bible.
- Baron: This word is primarily of British origin and is known as a title bestowed upon a nobleman. It also has German roots, tied to the word "bernuz," meaning "bear."

HMMMM:
- Nami's birthday, July 3, comes from her name since 7-3 can be derived from Na-mi. Also, her birthday in Japan is known as 'Tanabata' (たなばた?), also known as 'Star Festival' (星祭り, Hoshi matsuri?).[16]
LOL RIP CARUE WTF:
HMMMMM AGAIN:
- When a fan asked which flower Nami resembles the most, Nico Robin's Japanese voice actress answered she most resembles a sunflower.[44]
- Nami represents the prefecture of Ehime.[46]
