Questions & Mysteries Just Quick Question - Have We Ever Had A Silhouetted Character With Unknown Name?

#1
I mean Characters that appeared as Dark Silhouettes before their Introduction (Not cases like when Drake helped Law or Hiyori tended to Scabbards Injuries or Lucci Reveal)
I can't recall well, i don't think We ever had such thing, but i feel i'm missing Someone

Imu was Named
Loki was Named
Vegapunk was Named
Aokiji was Named
Xebec was Named
Oden...
Joy Boy...
... etc

The numbers from the beast pirates?
Idk bet there are tons of characters.
We knew what Numbers are though i think & They are not important Characters, just some Strong NPCs
I'm looking to see if we ever had a case like this Shadow Man

I think this is first time Oda shows a Silhouette without telling us anything about it
No Name or Origin or Affiliation or Location ... etc, nothing

Well, The Man Marked By Flames most likely counts, since that's not really a name, more of a title or epithet. And we're not sure if that's The Twelfth Man or not.

Also, the Gorosei. Sure, we knew they were the Gorosei, but we didn't know any of their names for DECADES. Those should count.

At the time, I think we got silhouettes for some of the Seven Warlords before knowing all their names? Someone might have to fact-check me on that. It's been a while.

Same goes for the Yonkou. I honestly forget if Kaido or Big Mom were originally named before we saw their silhouettes or not.

Again, maybe some of Blackbeard's crew? At least when some of them were first broken out of Impel Down. I forget if we saw them before we named them.

Arguably, Joyboy and Nika count. Those may or may not be their real names. Again, more titles or epithets, maybe.

The Going Merry's klaubatermann. We didn't know it's name or what it was when we first saw it on Skypeia. So, maybe that counts?

A lot of Rock's Crew. And the zombies on Thriller Bark, for related reasons. We still don't know for sure a lot of their names.

The majority of the God's Knights.



I'll admit, some of these stretch the definition of "silhouetted". And for most of these, we at least know SOMETHING about them, even if it's just what group their associated with.

The Twelfth Man really is up there for characters we don't know anything about when we're first introduced to them.

You quite have too high standards...

"Pranks" if he is actually an important character, also at the end of Thriller bark there were those typhoon minsters that got never explained, I don't know if that could count as a silhouette, also at this point we can say fir sure they actually have no place in this story (if it isn't some kind of ancient weapon).
