Questions & Mysteries Would shiryu have his own fanbase?

[chaos_syndrome]

Back in Jun 2022 Oda did character commissions for two composers of film RED. One of them chose Shiryu.

So yes, Shiryu already has fans so devoted that when they had one chance to get a piece of Oda signed art, they specifically ask for Shiryu. And the agenda driven minds of this forum can't fanthom people would love someone like Mihawk or King without being a Zoro fan...

Janitors deserve respect so I guess he would

No. He looks like a generic henchman

No doubt. Shiryu would have tons of fans regardless. He is an exceptionally unique/standout individual in the One Piece verse. He's unusually dark and ominous to a level we really don't see.

Great design, badass intro. Though admittedly post skip a lot of people would bail.
