Balding really is a fate worse then death, he looked a lot better when he had hair

 

[AkainuTheGrimReaper]

Completely dumb guy. He must reading wrong books.

 

[Warchief Sanji D Goat]

 

[ElderOnitar]

I think he's a decent character.

 

[Welkin]

Good man that made a wrong turn and fell victim to sunk cost fallacy

I actually really like him

Oda struck gold with Rocks and Harald’s dynamic imo

 

[Sir Yasheen]

The best king in the story. And was actually a well written tragic character

 

[Doggo]

10/10.
Got used and betrayed because he was too pure and goated.

 

[Elder Lee Hung]

I liked Harald, he was my favorite flashback character aside from Woki. I think the point of his flashback is that true peace with the WG is impossible, and I thought the writing around that ranged from mid to fine. Nothing in OP is truly great anymore except for Woki of course but Harald was good enough and cool enough for me.

People calling him stupid are actually the stupid ones that fail to understand how real life politics isn’t based on aura farming and standing on business and just struggle to understand intentionally flawed characters because agenda piece has fried everyone’s brains that every character should be a 200 IQ Gary stu. Harald was great

Imo the ending made it for me. At first I was rolling my eyes at how dedicated he was at trying to be a GK but we have to realize that we as outside viewers know what the WG truly are about, Harald does not.

But really the ending with Loki sold his character for me, much more than Oden's did.

Like a top 5 character Oda created post timeskip.

 

[ImmaIvanoM]

He’s a dumber Oden

 

[Dickie D. Dick]

A dumb slave of Imu

 

[TheD.]

Good tragic character but A insane moron lol.

 

[Monster Zoro's Tesla Supplier]

I don't wanna be too harsh on the dude but he was pretty stupid sometimes.
I will say I liked his death though. Definitely not even top 5 most sad or powerful deaths in the series but it was good.

 

[SakazOuki]

Easily one of the best characters Oda has written post ts

 

[mly90]

sums up this clown well lol elbaf was no safer being imu twerker and in the end he ended up massacring a lot of his own people until Loki stopped him.

 

[Zoinks52]

It's very funny to mock/slander him, but in all seriousness outside of memes I see him as a good character, well written and with a convincing dilemma.

He and Rocks are like the post-TS Noland and Kalgara, just two tragic chads.

And yes, I vastly prefer him to Oden.
