Character Discussion Character discussion : Boa Hancock

[Buusatan94]

And here's my last character discussion thread about the original Warlords, and this one could only be about the Pirate Empress of Amazon Lily, renown to be the most beautiful woman of the world, one of the most important allies of the Straw Hats, the owner of the Mero Mero no mi , the Snake Princess Boa Hancock.

What do you really think of Hancock as a character and of her role and importance in One Piece story ? Do you like or dislike her ? What traits of her do you find likeable or dislikeable ? What is your opinion about her powers and strength ? What are your favorite moments with her ? What do you want to talk about her ?

Boa is a very popular character,the only female character that could steal the place of "female lead" from Nami. If you look at the popularity polls they are always close. I like her and i think there is even a little possibilty she could join the crew!

I dislike her:

1) Cliché context for her character. The combination of women and snakes, and on top of that China, isn't particularly creative.

2) Of course she falls in love with the main character, of course she's the most beautiful woman in the world, of course her power revolve around lust (the only interesting part is the petrification detail in reference to Medusa).

3) The detail of her huge cleavage suggesting the shape of a heart in some of her designs is okay, also the continuity between her earrings and her hairstyle. And her characteristic pose is smart.

4) The design of her snake is very lame, even though it probably looks like that in order to facilitate Hancock not seeming so threatening for when her role changed from villain to ally.

5) Feels way too much like an entitled kid for me to respect her since she reminds me of the Celestial Dragons. Still don't understand why Luffy doesn't hate her; he despises people for less than what Hancock was about to do to his Kuja friend.

...And that's pretty much it.

I always found her to be annoying tbh.

In which aspects of her character exactly?

For example I enjoyed several sides of her personality, but really despised others. Like I didn't like her haughtiness for example.

Her obsession with Luffy. It was funny at first but now it’s overdone and just downright annoying. And that is not something I want to constantly see on the Thousand Sunny. Like is that all there is to her character? Seems too 1 dimensional for me.

Also ruling Amazon Lily as a tyrant with not much regard for the lives of her citizens. For example, she’s never been punished or shown any kind of remorse for trying to kill Marguerite, Sweet Pea and Aphelandra on just a whim.

The cherry on top is the animal cruelty when she kicked a puppy. Not an action that makes her very likable in my eyes.

I get she has a fucked up backstory, but that doesn’t excuse her cruel behavior on others. Nami and Robin had pretty fucked up backstories too but they’ve handled themselves far better. IMO

I love everything about her.She's one of the greatest female character that I come across in fiction. People might dislikes her for her obsession with Luffy but that also applies to Coby as well. Her ruling dictatorship is also justifiable because she was a slave of Celestial Dragons during her childhood. That can totally messed up somebody's personality. And then people suddenly raged quit at Hancock kicking a puppy even though the puppy was on her way and nobody talking about other characters punching and killing animals left and right.

Other than that, her design is amazing (not a Nami or Robin rip-off), lovely fighting style and broken devil fruit.

To each his own I guess.

You ain't knowing what real haughtiness is until you have to cope with her character. But at least it's not an extensively hideous one.

Oda and not giving female characters fights... name a better duo.

Boa Hancock is my favorite female from OP. Her design is perfect, and her personality is amazing. What people misunderstand about Boa is the way she acts and how she treats other people, especially men. It’s because she and her sisters were tortured by the Celestial Dragons (primarily men) and this has left her traumas which is evident because it was shown in the series. It’s expected for her to act that way knowing her backstory. She’s sensitive and vulnerable and she shows this side only when she’s around Luffy.

It’s also obvious for her not to show any emotion and act tough because she is the Amazonian Empress otherwise her acting normal would be a sign of weakness and can give enemies easy advantage over her. This is how things are in real life too.

She possesses all types of Haki, and it was shown at Marineford that she can one hit Pacifistas. She has shown to be strong in close combat but can also attack from range thanks to her Love-Love fruit and she brought down Vice Admiral Momonoga to his knees. I would say that the Love-Love fruit is one of the most powerful Devil Fruits, because the user (in this case Hancock) can apply the petrifying powers of the fruit even if the person doesn’t have “lustful thoughts”, because it also works on non-animate objects.

Hancock is the only character in OP who has worn 12 dresses and it shows why Oda has tough time drawing her, always keeping her the most beautiful woman with different style clothing.

Everyone bashes her because she acts childish around Luffy, yet that’s how people who love someone act around them (obviously in the case of Boa it wouldn’t work in real life because you would need both parties in love). Being her normal self, shy, vulnerable, and outmost expressing her pure love as a child towards Luffy. Luffy is aware of this, he doesn’t judge her, nor bashes her for the way she acts towards him, because Luffy himself doesn’t want to break her heart, otherwise it would crush her completely. Her intentions towards Luffy are pure and she does everything for Luffy to not get hurt.

She’s one of the strongest allies of the SH’s next to Jinbei (now officially a SH) and the Fishmen. I want Oda to show her as fast as possible in the story hanging out with the SH’s. This would greatly improve her character to socialize and get past her traumas. Sanji would be stoned the whole time until she leaves so his presence would be irrelevant.

After reading boa's vivre card, shes above even marco to me, truly a beast

 

[TheAncientCenturion]

Cool backstory. I'm not the biggest fan of her devil fruit. Really dislike how she becomes weak at the knees for Luffy. I get half of it is a joke on her own fruit and personality while the other half is because of who Luffy is.

It just doesn't make an interesting character for me
