Line 35:
** For the curious, the specific instance that caused many fans to believe he'd slid further down [[Sliding Scale of Anti-Heroes|the scale]] was when he released half the inmates of Impel Down in his quest to save his brother, ignoring [[Anti-Villain|Magellan]]'s frankly very good arguments as to why they should stay locked up. Course at the time he was desperate and, as Ivankov's mentions, they needed as much of a force as possible to get out of Impel Down. Especially when your fighting your way from the bottom level to the surface with millions of Marines in your way.
* [[Asexuality]]: One of the closest examples for the trope that Shonen manga is probably ever going to get. [[Word of God]] mentions that Luffy is more interested in adventure than women, and that there will be no real romance in ''One Piece''. See [[Chaste Hero]] below.
* [[Awesome but Impractical]]: [[Dangerous Forbidden Technique|His Gear 2nd technique]] [[Cast
** {{spoiler|After the [[Time Skip]], he seems to have improved it by having only single a body part(s) under Gear 2nd's effects at one time.}}
** A much straighter example would be Gear 3rd, which slowed him down and left him completely vulnerable to Rob Lucci when he tried an extensive use of it. He gets around this later by using it almost exclusively for finishing blows.
Line 62:
* [[Catch Phrase]]: "I'm gonna be Pirate King!"
* [[Cement Shoes]]: Arlong did this to him in their fight. Surprisingly, the [[Kryptonite Factor|normal vulnerability to water of a Devil Fruit user]] did not stop his stretching abilities, allowing townspeople to stretch his head out of the water so [[CPR: Clean, Pretty, Reliable|they could give him CPR when he drowned]].
* [[Charles Atlas Superpower]]: Thanks to the [[Training
* [[Chaste Hero]]: Though he knows what romantic relationships are, he just isn't interested... [[Epileptic Trees|maybe]].
** And, believe it or not, it becomes a plot point!
Line 170:
* [[The Power of Friendship]]: He always believes in his crew, even when they appear to betray or murder one of their own.
* [[Power Perversion Potential]]: Yes, everything stretches, as the inhabitants of [[Lady Land|Amazon Lily]] discovered.
* [[The Power of Trust]]: Luffy is an ''excellent'' judge of character, successfully allying even with former enemies, both as permanent crewmates (Nico Robin, Franky) and as temporary allies (various other members of Baroque Works). {{spoiler|It will be put to the ultimate test with his alliance with rival supernova captain-turned-Shichibukai Trafalgar Law.}}
* [[The Promise]]: He made one with Ace and Sabo when they were children to go out to sea and live their lives free of regrets.
** Not to mention the one with Shanks, that he'd return his Straw Hat to him one day after he became a great pirate.
Line 199:
* [[Time to Unlock More True Potential]]: By the end of the first half of the series, approx. time around the Sabaody Arc, his skills and power are simply no longer enough to beat anybody or anything stronger than a single Pacifista, (with the support of his entire team at that...) and considering Hancock, his "Love Interest" ([[No Hugging, No Kissing|I use that term lightly]]) could smash dozens of them in one hit, that really, really was quite pathetic. {{spoiler|Thankfully, he got better and after two years of training, he can now also defeat a Pacifista in a single hit (along with a giant KRAKEN, for that matter...)}}
* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: Meat. Any kind of meat. ({{spoiler|Although he's not as fond of seafood, as revealed by the Fishman Island arc.}}) Eating it even makes him stronger, and if he's not fighting or playing, he's always seen eating meat.
* [[Training
* [[Trauma Conga Line]]: {{spoiler|The Paramount War is one HUGE [[Break the Cutie]] moment for our hero, starts during the Sabaody, [[It Got Worse|gets many times worse in]] [[The Alcatraz|Impel Down]], AND he finally rescues his brother only to lose his life protecting you, he is VERY LUCKY that he is able to return to being himself.}}
* [[Trouser Space]]: Where he keeps the "octopus"...
Line 315:
** {{spoiler|After the [[Time Skip]], his Tatsumaki gets mixed with [[Do Not Touch the Funnel Cloud]] as well.}}
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: The blue to Luffy's red.
** {{spoiler|Post-[[Time Skip]]: In an extended scene in episode 519 of the anime, when [[Vitriolic Best Buds|he and Sanji]] [[Volleying Insults|start fighting]], Zoro has a blue aura and Sanji has a red one. The [[Played for Laughs|battle fury is so intense]] that all that is seen are the two [[Battle Aura|Battle Auras]] colliding with each other. [[Offscreen Moment of Awesome|A shame we don't see the actual fight]], since it would've spoiled the [[Canon]] reveals of their new post-[[Time Skip]] [[Took a Level
* [[Slasher Smile]]: He shows a great deal of enthusiasm when it comes to getting into fights.
* [[The Southpaw]]: While it is clear that Zoro is ambidextrous, he seems to be predominantly left-handed. He keeps all of his swords sheathed next to his right hip, meaning it would be easier to pull a sword with his left hand. When wielding a single sword, Zoro usually uses his left hand. His single sword techniques have nearly always been executed with his left hand.
Line 349:
** Also the Kuma Incident at Thriller Bark.
* [[You Can't Go Home Again]]: It's not that Zoro can't go home. It's just that he doesn't know the way, seeing how he's got a lousy sense of direction.
* [[Younger Than They Look]]: Can you believe that somebody who [[Mr. Fanservice|looks]] [[Shirtless Scene|like]] [[Rule of Sexy|that]] is 19; of course, he drinks like a fish, and has been [[Training
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|You Gotta Have Green Hair]]: Sanji likes to make fun of him this way, calling him "Marimo" (Moss Head).
Line 416:
* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: Tomboy to Vivi's Girly Girl, though it's all relative as neither is very tomboyish or girly.
** Also the more [[Hot-Blooded|passionate]] and [[Tomboy|headstrong]] of the two ladies aboard the Thousand Sunny, although her hobbies are much more girly than Robin's, whose are just... ''weird''.
* [[Took a Level
* [[Took a Level In Kindness]]: Gradually as the series has gone on, but especially after the timeskip. {{spoiler|From forgiving Hachi, to immediately hugging Usopp and Chopper when they reunite, to even immediately forgiving Jinbei for letting Arlong loose on East Blue,}} she's come a pretty long way from the [[Jerkass Facade]] she started out with.
** Not to mention, she almost never hits her crewmates anymore, starting after the timeskip.
Line 495:
** There's actually a [[Running Gag]] throughout the series of Usopp's stories actually coming true.
* [[Team Normal]]: Along with Nami. Causes some self-worth issues at one point, but he eventually gets over it and becomes an ever-increasingly [[Badass Normal]].
* [[Took a Level
** {{spoiler|Post-timeskip, damn! He has broader shoulders, large biceps, and [[Department of Redundancy Department|muscles]], oh my!}}
* [[Trick Bullet]]: all of his ammunition.
Line 558:
* [[Dance Battler]]: Uses only his feet to fight, resulting in this on occasion.
* [[Defeat by Modesty]]: {{spoiler|During his (filler) duel against the substitute "Queen" of Kamabakka, he's soon forced to resort only to weak, low kicks because his opponents keeps peeping at his bloomers when he tries to kick him.}}
* {{spoiler|1=[[Double Jump]]: After the [[Time Skip]], he can replicate CP9's Geppou, except he calls it "Sky Walk", and fly; that's what you get for running away from [[Creepy Crossdresser|Creepy Crossdressers]] [[Training
* [[Even the Guys Want Him]]: Duval's slip of the tongue reveals he's got a crush on Sanji. And he had the drag queens on Okama Island hitting on him and dressing him up for two years. Poor guy.
* [[Everything Sounds Sexier in French]]: His attack names.
Line 580:
* [[Incendiary Exponent]]: Weaponized, via his ''Diable Jambe'' technique.
** {{spoiler|A Post-[[Time Skip]] cover seems to imply that he went to [[Playing with Fire]] as well.}}
* [[Ironic Hell]]: Blasted to an island of {{spoiler|transvestites}} at the end of Sabaody and forced to join in. {{spoiler|Kuma}} must have a twisted sense of humor... Also see [[Training
* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: Towards the male members of the crew.
* [[Jizzed in My Pants]]: Though with massive nosebleeds. After spending 2 years on an island full of transvestites, it's become rather easy'' to set him off.
Line 613:
* [[Throw the Dog a Bone]]: Sanji finally meets mermaids, and they ''like'' him. He's even able to resist nosebleeds for a while to play with them.
** Similarly, Oda ocassionally decides to spare him and let him at least touch a woman, and on two seperate occasions he has had his face stuffed in into a girl's breasts. Nosebleeds ensue.
* [[Training
** He also gained the skill to run on air. So, yeah, he can fly.
* [[Unusual Eyebrows]]
Line 619:
* [[Volleying Insults]]: Quite often with Zoro, as well as his surrogate father Zeff.
* [[Weaksauce Weakness]]: [[Wouldn't Hit a Girl|He refuses to harm women in any way]], though he is capable of blocking their attacks. This causes near-fatal problems during the fights with Bon Clay and Califa. Nami even criticizes him on this trait.
** Made 100 times worse as a side effect from the [[Training
*** {{spoiler|After seeing Shirahoshi, he made a full recovery.}}
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Again played for laughs when he learns about [[Lady Land|exactly where]] Luffy got sent to by Kuma.
Line 899:
* [[The Aloner]]: It's implied that Brook developed his bizarre humor and [[Incredibly Lame Pun]] tendencies as a means to entertain himself while he was stuck alone on a ship full of (inanimate) dead people for half a century.
* {{spoiler|[[Astral Projection]]}}: A power he developed {{spoiler|over the [[Time Skip]]}}.
* [[Back
* [[Badass Grandpa]]: He's ''90 years old''.
* [[Berserk Button]]: Don't belittle the pain and emptiness of death. He lost everything to it, and he can't stand people just simply throwing their lives away.
Line 965:
* [[Scars Are Forever]]: Even 52+ years later and with all his flesh gone, whatever head injury he once suffered remains visible.
* {{spoiler|[[Soul Power]]}}: {{spoiler|During the [[Time Skip]], he learned the true power of his Devil Fruit: the power to control the inexhaustable energy of his soul.}}
* [[Stealth Pun]]: (Combined with [[Punny Name]] and [[Fridge Brilliance]]) His becoming the Soul King, because (apart from [[Dem Bones|his skeleton]] and [[Funny Afro|his hair]]) that's the only part of him remaining after he [[Back
* [[Super Drowning Skills]]: As with all Devil Fruit users, he sinks like a stone in water. Though one would assume, since he has no organs, that this wouldn't be as inconvenient for him, his body still seems to act as if it has the organs even if they don't physically exist. Like Chopper, he also forgets he can't swim, but he can at least run on the surface of the water.
* [[Undead]]: Of the [[Dem Bones]] variety.
