Character Discussion Overall thoughts on Vegapunk?

#21
Vegapunk's character is pretty decent, ngl.
Vegapunk isn't a genius of warfare, nor is he someone who can manage the people around him well. He's just a lab rat - probably the best lab rat in the verse - but as a person, he's just an average guy, easily affected by human emotions.
The problem is that Oda built up his character as a kind of mastermind behind a lot of incidents that made people go crazy, and when the revelation finally came, it ended up that he's just an average guy.

Legit 5/10 Character.
Ye
There are different forms of intelligence mate.

Vegapunk is intellectually amazingly smart, but has a very poor self-emotional intelligence. This is why it's such an interesting character.

Sadly, people here can't apprieciate these kind of subtilities.
Neh

Years of hype wasted on this dumb smart guy. I guess he went from morally grey to a full blown good guy so he has some character development. But that goes down the shitter when you realize how dumb he is. My expectations for other long awaited characters is down the drain.

The moment we know he's eating a DF brain brain fruit, not 100% natural, expectation dropped heavily.
Add to that he gain most knowledgeable from reading books from Ohara.
If i have fruit and love to spend all my life studing, could have the intelligence lvl like him........and probably less dumber.
Really good person but stupid like every Oda's fav character

This is supposed to be the smartest man in the world.
Watching good sci fi anime like stein gates etc and Vegapunk looks like average, Oda's not good in this type anyway.
Competent genius smartest man alive would spill all the beans in the broadcast message and certainly could have planned better about the 2 "weeks" incident
Would be smart enough to escape WG by his own with his intellect and brain power even if he isn't yonko lvl fighter
He is a "good" guy that eat brain brain food, no more.

I have mix feeling about as a character
He was neither great or bad but Oda waste opportunity with him
I honestly expect more from him
Simple a genius with flaws

One of the greatest characters so far, such a memorable and iconic geezer.

No surprise Oda wasn't fond of the idea of letting him go that easily. I am pretty sure he will return in Navy flashbacks or so in future.

With the Egghead arc now over, we are pretty much done with everything about Vegapunk.

So what are your overall thoughts on the main Vegapunk as a character not counting his satellites.

Great character. Perfect portrayal of how book smarts and 'science' can obscure how retarded a person is in other equally important aspects of life. His speech to Luffy and Chopper at the start of Egghead about the wonders of science and its potential to help humanity share knowledge was Oda poking fun at how we often discuss empiricism in the real world. I have a job and family so can't go Logiko on your ass and drop a novel, but Vegapunk is a great character who went out like a G.

meh/10

Tasteless design
Didn't really spend enough time on him
Left more questions than answers, both in terms of worldbuilding and himself
Didn't spark any interesting dialogue, when there's countless hours worth of ethics/philosophy/etc. to talk about
Actions inconsistent with morals, often without explanation
Disappointing relevance in the arc itself, despite his potential
Very dubious decisionmaking at almost every turn

Let's just forget about this one.

Vegapunk is an idiot
No, just a genius. And like many genius, they tend to underestimate their greedyness and sinfull behaviors and demonize the reason why they are genius in the first place.

Hence why he targeted directly Lilith who is his fun seeking and disruption seeking side.

Why the fuck are York and Lilith still alive with him death? And what happens with them if Punk Record will be destroyed?

If not.. will we have 2 VP from now on connected until the end of story? Meaning Lilith has to go with the SHs or revos

Clover asked Vegapunk for help and Vegapunk did nothing, he was a complete dick.

His memory erasing plan is stupid
