Character Discussion What is the point of Koby as a character?

[Kiri D Bachi]

So far he hasn't done anything to impact the story in any meaningful way. If you removed him from the story absolutely nothing would change. Even in the first arc where had the most presence, he was just a tagalong and hasn't done anything (apart from screaming and crying). Fast forward 1053 chapters and so far he occasionaly appeared for a chapter or two, done nothing, and disappeared for the next 100+ chapters. To me he feels very out of place in the story, kinda like a fanfiction character, even more so than Sabo. Do you think Koby is really necessary for the story? What do you think his role will be?

 

[Boiroy]

No point.

 

[Adamxero]

He's a fodder character. Every meaningful fight he's been in he's lost but gets hyped up because Derp trained by Garp.

Decent CoO no doubt but let's be honest his peak is probably Katakuri

 

[SakazOuki]

Hype for pre-ts Alvida

 

[phatltse62882]

shitty character then they said Luffy would be his final opponent :)))

 

[Finalbeta]

To become the new marine hero

 

[Vanlax]

To be the Real Justice Admiral the world deserves after Luffy and co. defeats the World Government.

I've been saying this for ages and I will never be tired repeating it: he's the Konohamaru of One Piece.

Period

Stop clinging on the wrong meaning you got from my comment, I told you the role is, not the character.... implying that he will be useless and forgotten at the end like Konohamaru was, Konohamaru's role ended years ago

Don't know about you but if I were a normal citizen minding my boring daily ass job, I'd want someone like Sakazuki to run things.

I didn't get any meaning, i asked you & you said his Role was rip-off of Konohamaru's
