Speculations How many Headliners?

[Perun]

Not counting F6 and SNs,how many headliners are there in Kaido's crew(So far we have 12 named Headliners)?.How many of them do you expect to look normal like Sheepshead and Gin Rummy?

 

[MugiwaraMaster]

I feel Sheepshead and Ginrummy were flukes before Oda had the idea of how SMILE users should work.

That’s why most of the Headliners we see now are mutants that match the already freaky Gifters below them.

 

[Monkey D. Luffy]

There are about 500 Gifters. Headliners mainly comprise of "special" Gifters like Sheepshead, but other normal DF users such as Hawkins and Drake can be promoted to Headliner. I suspect Apoo and Scotch to be Headliners themselves.

Enough to Keep Zolo busy, while Can’t-Catch-Any-Ls-Winbei and Wanji are ramming through headliners like butter

The fodder headliners are for Zoro this arc.

Where it stops and also begins

remember that real men like Vista has no intention of such vain titles and hobbies. Vista embarrassed Posthawk in the Databook and on live television.

 

[Warchief Sanji D Goat]

I think there are 500 Gifters/Headliners total.

 

[critical mindset]

Weren’t their around 30 headliners I seem to recall?

 

[Perun]

Since there are 500 gifters,it would be cool if there were like 50 headliners,since they are mostly elite gifters.

Where does this elite gifter=headliner come from? Any proof of that?

 

[Buusatan94]

Between 30 and 50 I would say.

I don't know if the translation is good,but the headliners are called elite gifters,of course there are exceptions like Hawkins...

No one, in fact ranks are different which means strenght also should.

In this case ranks hold a power level value unlike in marine where we can have special cases with vice admirals like Prime Garp sticking around.

“Call us gifters” and saying there are “500 of us”. Headliners have been distinguished by rank all throughout Wano, so why start conflating it with gifters now? I seem to recall a certain number of headliners was given so that goes against them being gifters that were stated to be 500 exact, Zoro fought (multiple) high level gifters, yet they seemed not bothered by him. Sanji is clearing headliners left and right

Apoo isn't a headliner, he's a informant.

Headliners are special and high ranked Gifters....but they are seperate from them.

Headliners is a rank above Gifters. They do not add to the 500 gifter population.

 

[Bf-37]

Yeah, there are 500 gifters.

Spoiler

And same as above, there is a distinction made between the Gifters and the Headliners. Gifters as those “Blessed with powers,” and Headliners as “The chosen Gifters.”

Spoiler

As to how many Headliners? As many as there are card names, I would assume. Following the naming scheme.
I hope we get to see more “normal” looking headliners because in Sheepshead’s Vivre card it says that he mastered his smile fruit. Meaning that there are levels to mastery.

Spoiler

Hopefully that means that Momo can master his artificial fruit. Although there might be some inherent differences between Momo’s fruit and the smile, because Momo’s fruit was made by Vegapunk in contrast to Caesar’s faulty smile. Vegapunk’s fruit was considered a failure by the man himself but one of Punk’s failures is still better then Caesar’s creations. Similar to how I assume the Numbers are Punk’s creations vs Caesar’s failed attempt with the children.
I also hope to see some strong Pleasures. Unlucky suckers that got the short end of the smile gamble, but still strong. Just laughing away.

 

[PurpleSwordsman]

It's not really important, they are all randoms and oneshot material except the likes of Hawkins and Drake, Babanuki too and maybe the gifter who Zoro confronted (in case he did).

 

[Midnight Delight]

Whitehead had 44 Allied Captains

Big Mom has like 70 minister+Combatants

so far we have like 23 headliners both named and Unnamed. At the same time you have The Numbers who combined are probably as strong as dozens of Captain/Minister/Headliner. So I would say there are 30 to 50 headliners.

 

[Shiroyru]

50 probably
