== "The Straw Hat Crew" ==
* [[Anti-Hero|Anti-Heroes]]: They generally don't care about the politics of the island they visit and won't do much to fight an oppression. That said, if the oppressing institution attacks them or a person they befriended, [[ItsIt's Personal|odds are they will take up the fight as payback.]]
* [[Badass Crew]]
* [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]]: Even the relatively saner ones have their quirks.
* [[Dark and Troubled Past]]: All of the crew members have a painful past that makes you wanna give them a hug. Robin may have the most painful of the crew, though.
* [[Fire -Forged Friends]]: Really becomes evident at during the climax of the Arlong arc.
* [[The Idealist]]: A whole crew of them. They're all driven together by collective dreams.
* [[The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything]]
* [[The Power of Friendship]]
* [[Protagonist -Centered Morality]]: While the crew certainly are filled with nice people, whenever they do save the day, they do so because the villain in question either went after one of their members or allies.
* [[Ragtag Bunch of Misfits]]: The crew consists of a rubber man, a swordsman, a thief and meteorologist, a cowardly sniper, a kick-boxing chef, a shape-shifting reindeer doctor, an archeologist, a soda-run cyborg, and a living skeleton.
* [[True Companions]]: [[Trope Namer]] Emeritus. See: Nakama.
Line 31:
* [[Angst Coma]]: Granted, there's a large physical component of exhaustion to it as well, but it's {{spoiler|Ace's death}} that sends him into [[Blank White Eyes|white-eye]] gape-mouth land. It's actually so bad that Luffy doesn't even notice he's lost his prized straw hat, after it falls off him while Jimbei is rushing him to safety. This actually lasts two whole weeks for him, and when he wakes up, he flips out.
* [[Animal Motifs]]: [[Captain Obvious|A Monkey, duh]]. Although a video game once had his motif as a lion, which is also a good fit, if you think about it. Lazy as hell, eats huge quantities of meat, courageous, and he will ''slaughter'' you if you mess with someone from his group.
* [[Anti -Hero]]: At the beginning of the series, he was [[The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything|a criminal in name only.]] He was sometimes [[Innocently Insensitive|a bit rude,]] and beat up [[Knight Templar|"good]] [[The Social Darwinist|guys”]] who really deserved it, but that was all. [[Darker and Edgier|Later on]] he's been skirting around the lines of a Type III, and he's even admitted that he ''doesn't want'' to be a hero.
** Though that was more for nonsensical reasons. He immediately agreed to be one after {{spoiler|Jinbei promised he would get his meat rather than having to divide among the people. Trust me, [[It Makes Sense in Context]].}}
** 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 From Hit Points|slowly shaves off his life]], and overusing it in a single fight can (or at least it used to) tire him out and leave him open to attack. But Gear 2nd is DAMN awesome.
Line 73:
* [[Confusion Fu]]: Luffy, unlike the other characters, seems to fight freestyle. Being rubber makes this befitting. It even turned into an advantage against Eneru, who can read minds. Luffy simply ricocheted his moves off a wall, making it impossible for anyone, including himself, to predict their path.
* [[Cross Dressing Voices]]: Voiced by a woman in both the original Japanese and both English dubs.
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: Often both a badass ''and'' a moron at the same time.
** He actually tries to weaponize his idiot nature in the Eneru fight, in order to defeat his mind-reading. It works, but he also becomes too stupid to remember to attack.
* [[Cursed With Awesome]]: Like all DF users, he's gained incredible powers at the cost of never being able to swim and being branded a freak forever. Not that either of these facts bother him, though.
Line 88:
** The poisoned part was almost a subversion, because it all but killed him. He was healed by Ivankov, but the technique used was explicitly reliant on the patient's will to live and even Ivankov was shocked that Luffy recovered in a few hours, despite his initial estimate that it would take days for Luffy to recover, if he recovered at all.
* [[Deus Exit Machina]]: He's the strongest of the crew along with Zoro, and the most likely to get lost, trapped or otherwise unable to initially participate in battle until the most powerful enemy remains.
* {{spoiler|[[Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?]]}}: {{spoiler|After learning that [[Complete Monster|Big Mam]] of the Four Emperors is going destroy Fishman Island because they were unable to give her her monthly 10 ton delivery of candy (due to Hody destroying the candy factory and the Straw Hats eating the remaining candy), Luffy does what no other pirate would dare do- he takes the Den Den Mushi (i.e. a phone in the One Piece world) from Big Mam's subordinate and tells her ''he'' himself ate all 10 tons of her candy and that it's too dangerous to leave her in charge of the island, so when he gets to the New World he's going to kick her ass and ''claim Fishmen Island as his OWN territory''; [[This Means War|Big Mom declares war on the Straw Hat Pirates]]}}.
* [[Disappeared Dad]]: Luffy was apparently unaware that he even ''had'' a father.
** Come to think of it, where's his [[Missing Mom|mother?]]
Line 97:
** {{spoiler|Done again in the Fishman Island arc when he leaps out of a shark's mouth and kicks Hody Jones just as he's about to assassinate the king}}.
* [[Enemy Mine]]: Seems to have a knack for pulling this off, even in the most unlikely of cases. Mihawk actually considers this his most dangerous ability.
* [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"]]: Luffy gets called "Straw Hat" by pretty much everyone he fights, with rare exceptions.
* [[Expy]]: Of [[Dragon Ball (Manga)|Son Goku]], in a spiritual sense. Oda said he designed Luffy based on what 'manliness' meant to him as a child. Incidentally, Luffy met Goku in the ''Dragon Ball x One Piece - Cross Epoch'' crossover. He even got to ride on the Flying Nimbus.
* [[Flash Step]]: When using [[Super Mode|Gear Second]].
Line 113:
* [[You Can Barely Stand|He Could Barely Stand...]]: But he STILL got up and kicked Lucci's ass.
* [[The Hero]]: He ''is'' the main protagonist, after all.
** [[Anti -Hero]]: [[Sliding Scale of Anti -Heroes|A type II]]. He'll help people if he deems that he "likes them", would rather die than leave a comrade behind, and [[The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything|doesn't do typical pirate things like rape and pillage]], but he doesn't necessarily care what people think of him, and if the situation calls for it, he [[Trying to Catch Me Fighting Dirty|fights dirty]] and uses his enemies as human shields or human weapons (on one occasion) and destroys public property freely in his many battles and uses trees and buildings as weapons. Also, he frequently Dines-and-Dashes. He briefly bumped into a Type III after releasing all the prisoners in Impel Down in his mission to save Ace; [[What the Hell, Hero?|when called on it]] by [[Hero Antagonist|Hannyabal]], he replied that he didn't care about the consequences. Then again, he does understand that he's a pirate, and so is Ace.
*** Also notable throughout the East Blue Saga, in that he gladly points out at various points that he wouldn't have even bothered to lift a finger to save the various villages that he visits if it weren't for him coming across a few [[Determinator|Determinators]] that he decided were worth saving.
*** Made even more clear just before {{spoiler|the big battle against the New Fishmen Pirates.}} He tells {{spoiler|Jinbei}} that he loves heroes, but he doesn't want to ''be'' one.
Line 119:
** [[Heroic RROD]]: His Gear Second {{spoiler|pre-[[Time Skip]]}} shortens his lifespan with each use, and will eventually wear him out if overused. Gear Third also might count, although it only shrinks Luffy temporarily after each use, with no mentioned long-term effect.
*** When Ivankov gave Luffy his "miracle treatment" to heal Luffy of Magellan's poison, it took an additional ten years off Luffy's lifespan. Add this to the Gear Second, and the regular damage Luffy takes, and Oda seems to be strongly implying that Luffy will die young.
* [[Hey ItsIt's That Voice]]: The original one is also [[Dragon Ball (Manga)|Krillin]] and [[Yu Yu Hakusho (Manga)|Koenma]].
** Italian Luffy was [[Naruto|Gaara of the Desert.]]
** American Luffy took over as Gohan in ''[[Dragon Ball Kai (Anime)|Dragon Ball Kai]]''.
Line 162:
* [[Parental Abandonment]]: While not an integral part of his character, his father willingly left him to go help the rest of the world, his mother hasn't even been mentioned, and his Grandpa made no attempt to at least have him raised near him. Luckily, though, his foster mother and brothers made up for this void, and the only time he ever showed sadness over being lonely was in childhood before meeting Ace.
* [[Person of Mass Destruction]]
* [[Pint -Sized Powerhouse]]: Rather puny in comparison to most of his opponents. He's 19 years old and 5'7", while his opponents range from above 6' to being freaking giants. There's also the case of Coby, who recently went through a growth spurt and is now about Luffy's height.
* [[The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything|The Pirate That Doesn't Do Anything]]: Luffy's not interested in pillaging and raping, unlike other Pirates in the series, but only became a Pirate for the sake of adventures. He mostly fights with other Pirates and the Government, but leaves civilians alone.
** Though he does cause lots of property damage, and he's not opposed to stealing available loot if an opportunity arises. Then there was that prison break...
Line 176:
* [[Rapid Fire Fisticuffs]]: His Gatling, Pistol-Shotgun, Storm, Fireworks, Cannon, Jet Gatling, and Jet Cannon techniques.
* [[Real Men Eat Meat]]
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: The red to Zoro's blue, although Zoro can be a little red sometimes.
* [[Right Makes Might]]: If one has a strong ambition, one will always prevail in the end.
* [[Rubber Man]]: Refers to himself as such. Thanks to consuming the Gum-Gum Fruit.
Line 187:
** More often than not, he never even went in intending to stop the villain or knowing the villain even had an evil plan. He is literally just an unexpected variable that happened to mess up the scheme because the villain did just ONE thing wrong. That thing is usually trying to preemptively eliminate him.
** Reversed with Blackbeard's master plan. Everything Luffy did just worked in favor of Blackbeard's plans, even speeding them up significantly, the most obvious example being the Impel Down incident.
* [[Spell My Name With an "S"]]: He's known as Ruffy in some foreign editions, most notably the German translation.
* [[Super Drowning Skills]]: The most common victim of the Devil Fruit users in his crew. Of course, he couldn't swim even before getting his Devil Fruit powers, hence why Shanks's crew nicknamed him "Anchor".
* [[Super Mode]]: His [[Lightning Bruiser|Gear Second]] and [[Mighty Glacier|Gear Third]] techniques.
* [[Super -Powered Evil Side]]: Subverted with Nightmare Luffy. He's a scary, giant, evil-looking [[Incredible Hulk (Comic Book)|Hulk-like]] figure, and Nami and Usopp were initially afraid of him, but he's actually still Luffy on the inside. Just REALLY serious. However, that could be something to do with shadows inside him, since Usopp and Nami noticed he behaves differently.
* [[Terrible Artist]]
* [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill]]: {{spoiler|Lately, after the timeskip, he uses Gear Second attacks for ''everything''. Considering how strong he already is and the fact that he has Haki, his normal Gum Gum attacks should be more than enough to solve his problems, rather than senselessly shorten his lifespan to beat a few minor enemies}}.
** {{spoiler|He may not have the drawback post-time skip. Still this trope though, as he doesn't ''need'' to go [[Super Mode]].}}
* [[Third Times the Charm]]: Against Crocodile, though there is a case to be had in his confrontations with Eneru and Rob Lucci.
* [[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 From Hell]]: Went through this in childhood. It involved being thrown into jungles at night and tied to balloons, apparently.
Line 209:
** [[Elemental Punch]]: He can't generate [[Shock and Awe|electricity]], but his immunity to it (because he's rubber) allows him to harness it and supercharge his attacks. So far, the only attack he used with this ability was his "Giant Thor Axe", which, needless to say, was ridiculously strong.
*** {{spoiler|His Gomu Gomu no [[Incendiary Exponent|Red Hawk]] attack.}}
** [[Multi -Armed and Dangerous]]: Subverted -- His gatling gun techniques only make the illusion that he's grown more arms. But played straight in the sense that it still causes an impact equivalent to being hit by multiple punches at the same time.
* [[When All You Have Is a Hammer]]: Most of the situations he's gotten into have been solved through liberal use of punching the right guy ''in the face''. Prior to Marineford, it's typically his ''only'' strategy, many times literally just asking whose ass he has to kick.
** It's fitting, as one of his stronger techniques is also called Gum Gum Mallet and Gum Gum Giant Mallet, which both mean hammer.
* [[With My Hands Tied]]: He {{spoiler|one-shoted Vander Decken with his arms chained}}.
* [[Would Hit a Girl]]: Examples include Alvida, Ms. Valentine's Day, Vivi (as Ms. Wednesday and later in a [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!]]), Boa Marigold and Sandersonia
* [[X Marks the Hero]]: {{spoiler|He got an X-shaped scar across his chest from Akainu's attack at Marineford}}.
* [[Your Size May Vary]]: Luffy's iconic Straw Hat, through the many [[Art Evolution]] phases Oda went and experimented on, our hero's hat has gone from ''fedora sized'' to ''sombrero sized'', though it's not an increasing constant, it may get smaller or bigger depending on the arc.
Line 232:
His bounty is 120,000,000 Berries.
-----
* {{spoiler|[[AintAin't Too Proud to Beg]]}}: {{spoiler|After defeating the Humandrills, he has to beg Mihawk to teach him to get stronger for the Straw Hats' sake}}.
* [[Anti -Hero]]: [[Sliding Scale of Anti -Heroes|Type IV]]. He can be particularly brutal, as he's a [[Blood Knight]]. He was stated by other pirates as being capable of exuding a massive killing intent. Zoro has also stated several times of his willingness to kill. He (along with Robin) are the most vicious and brutal of all the Straw-Hats, and are the only ones who suggest killing as a first resort.
** Swings into Type II and III territory occasionally.
* [[Badass]]: One of the more prominent examples in the series.
Line 260:
* [[Creepy Good]]: Zoro is one of only two members of the Strawhats to have killed in the past. Zoro is willing to chop his own feet off to join a fight and creeps the others out with his sheer determination and willpower, not to mention his monstrous strength.<br /><br />Usopp, Nami, and Chopper frequently find him "creepy" or "nuts" depending on the situation.
* [[Cuteness Proximity]]: Adequately explains his huge soft spot for Chopper.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Zoro has a really dry wit, and has thrown out some pretty badass [[Pre -Ass -Kicking One -Liner|Pre Asskicking One Liners]].
* [[Defeating the Undefeatable]]: Zoro's ultimate goal.
* [[Determinator]]: You ''really'' can't keep this guy down.
Line 275:
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: Offers his life in exchange for Luffy's before a [[Too Powerful to Live|nigh unbeatable foe]]. Instead, said foe allows him to take in all of Luffy's pain and exhaustion, which was supposed to be a traumatic enough experience to kill him. [[No One Could Survive That|Naturally, it doesn't]]. Keep in mind, this was all the pain and exhaustion from someone ''made of rubber''. Everything that he was able to endure thanks to his Devil Fruit powers, forced into a (technically) normal human body.
** AND, all this was forced into him ON TOP of his own, already superhuman, damage.
* [[High -Pressure Blood]]: Has an infinite supply of it.
* [[Hollywood Healing]]: [http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=226 "Band-aids heal everything."]
* [[How Dare You Die On Me]]: Implied to be a source of angst involving the best friend he never got over. It's especially heart-wrenching when you consider that the other Straw Hats were at least assured they were unconditionally cared about by their own loved ones, no matter how tragic the circumstances.
Line 298:
** [[It Got Worse|It gets worse]]. When he wants to get away from someone, he'll end up running into them anyway.
* [[Number Two]]: In times of emotional crisis for the crew, he's taken responsibility of the crew and reminds Luffy of his duties as a captain, solidifying his position as this. This is most obvious in regards to Luffy's duel with Usopp.
* [[One -Man Army]]: {{spoiler|Post [[Time Skip]], he managed to defeat most of the Neptune Army soldiers by himself, and after his capture, he plans to do the same with Hordy's men now. Even Usopp [[Lampshade Hanging|calls him one.]]}}
** Much earlier, in one of the more awesome moments of the series, he single-handedly defeated 100 expert bounty hunters in Whiskey Peak.
* [[Overdrawn At the Blood Bank]]: To [[Serial Escalation|an increasingly ridiculous degree]].
Line 312:
* [[Razor Wind]]: His Tatsumaki and Pound Hou techniques.
** {{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 In Badass|abilities]].}}
* [[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.
** Also, in Movie 5, in his fight against Saga, Saga stabbed Zoro's left hand after telling him that he had "lost his dominant sword hand in battle."
* [[Spell My Name With an "S"]]: The [[Fan Wank]] over the Zoro vs. Zolo debate is ridiculous, especially considering that his name is an intentional reference to Zorro. Not helping matters is that in the US (at least for TV and the manga) it has to be "Zolo" or they'll get sued by the people that own Zorro.
* [[The Stoic]]: He's a lot more reserved than most of the crew, often taking negative events without losing his composure. He's often the crew's voice of reason.
** [[Not So Stoic]]: However, [[The Comically Serious|this doesn't stop keep him from getting mad at]] [[Idiot Hero|Luffy]], [[Cowardly Lion|or]] [[Chivalrous Pervert|the]] others.
Line 364:
-----
* [[Action Girl]]: Not at first, but starts growing into the role after being given her Clima Tact.
* [[Anti -Hero]]: Starts off as a less extreme than usual [[Sliding Scale of Anti -Heroes|Type IV]] (not willing to kill, but fine with putting pirates in situations where they are certain to die) due to her past, but [[Character Development|moves into the role of a Type III with shades of Type II, eventually becoming a straight example of Type II.]]
* [[Armor -Piercing Slap]]: She's one of the few characters able to render Luffy a bruised and bloody mess. [[Word of God]] says that it's because her blows are "emotionally and spiritually charged".
* [[Author Appeal]]: Oda is [[Happily Married]] to Chiaki Inaba, the actress who played her in the ''Jump Festa'' stage performances. Oda thinks his wife is incredibly sexy (and let's be fair, she ''is'' very pretty), and as a kind of tribute to her, altered Nami's design to show it off.
* [[Badass Adorable]]
Line 372:
* [[Bathing Beauty]]: Gets a few of these scenes occasionally.
* [[Berserk Button]]: Do not spend money without consulting her first. Do not steal anything from her, especially if she stole it first. And, above all else, do not hurt the people she cares about.
* [[Breast Expansion]]: Over the course of a few hundred chapters/episodes, Nami's physique changed greatly. Her breasts have gradually increased in size, from modest B's to full-blown F's. It's enough to make you think that the story hasn't been in [[Comic Book Time]], but apparently she's just prone to growth spurts. At the age of 20. Every other week of her life. And the [[Perverse Sexual Lust|fans]] [[Rule Thirty Four34|rejoiced]].
* [[Brown Eyes]]
* [[Can't Catch Up]]: Usopp somewhat fixes this problem for her. She's not quite as strong as her crewmates, but she's got a respectable record, taking out Miss Double Finger from Baroque Works and Kalifa from CP9.
Line 383:
* [[Expository Hairstyle Change]]: In the manga, as of recently.
* [[Fiery Redhead]]: One of the more [[Punchy Love|emotional]] members of the crew.
* [[Fire, Ice, Lightning]]: The [[Weather Control Machine|Clima-Tact's]] most basic function is to create three types of air bubbles named the Heat Ball, Cool Ball, and Thunder Ball.
** Slight subversion in that the Heat and Cool Balls are useless as attacks, and tend to be used for weather manipulation only.
* [[Gainaxing]]: In the 7th movie sometimes they bounce wildly when she moves very little.
Line 483:
* [[Never Bareheaded]]: He always has some kind of headgear on.
* [[Overshadowed By Awesome]]: [[Word of God]] pegs him as the guy who will always be the weakest of the crew. Lampshaded when {{spoiler|he says he can't keep up with the rest of the crew's "monster" strengths during the Water 7 arc}}
* [[Paper -Thin Disguise]]: Sogeking. Only Luffy and Chopper failed to realize that it was actually him.
* [[Possession Implies Mastery]]: Played straight. Usopp can operate or make wondrous inventions out of anything he can put his hands on, including a cannon (which he's never operated before), advanced fireworks, and the bizarre "Dials" of Skypiea (which he could never, ever, have seen or researched). His immediate understanding of any object in his possession would border on [[Heroes (TV)|intuitive aptitude]] if he weren't so miserable at making repairs to the ship.
* [[Punny Name]]: It's a cross between "uso", the Japanese word for lie, and "[[Aesop]]".
* [[Running Gag]]: The "Rubber Band of Doom" attack, consisting of Usopp simply flicking a rubber band at the enemy. Whenever Usopp gets in a long string of attacks, expect the Rubber Band of Doom attack to show up right in the middle.
* [[Small Name, Big Ego]]: When he lies, he speaks of himself as a [[Marty Stu]]. Only Chopper believes him, though.
* [[The Smart Guy]]: He's come up with some decent plans and tricks to use in battle over the years. During their duel, he even discovered ways to bypass Luffy's innate rubber defense.
** Though outside of battle and his workshop, he's firmly in the [[The Chick|chick]] category.
Line 521:
His bounty is 77,000,000 Berries.
-----
* [[AB Negative]]: It turns out Sanji has a rare blood type. {{spoiler|This becomes extremely problematic when the [[Nosebleed]] after [[Nosebleed]] he'd been suffering and had been [[Played for Laughs]] after being exposed to real women again caused him to go through all of Chopper's stock of that specific type. As a result, when a mermaid tries to keep him hidden by stuffing him into [[Marshmallow Hell|Marshmallow Heaven]], he has such an [[High -Pressure Blood|epic]] gusher that it becomes life-threatening}}.
* [[All According to Plan]]: He's the tactical mastermind of the crew and pretty much all of his plans work out the way he wants them to. But the most notable incident still is his Mr. Prince, complete with him saying those exact words while smiling deviously.
* [[All Love Is Unrequited]]: The chances of him actually scoring with anyone he's wooed are practically nonexistent.
Line 538:
* [[Big Damn Heroes]]: "Mr. Prince", followed later by "The Hunter".
* [[Bishonen]]: A masculine example.
* [[Bond One -Liner]]: Has a habit of giving these after winning major fights.
* [[Brooklyn Rage]]: In the 4Kids dub, Sanji was given a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uV-XdyuQngM&feature=related thick Brooklyn accent and an angry disposition].
* [[Butt Monkey]]
Line 544:
** '''~MELLORINE!!!~'''
*** For a while after the time skip: "IIIII NEEEEED LADYYYYY!"
* [[Characterization Marches On]]: It's strange to think that he once (in the manga at least) almost shot Nico Robin, albeit an instinctive reaction to Vivi being threatened. [[What Happened to The Mouse?|What ever happened to that pistol, anyway?]]
** He knows he can't hit her, so he grabbed a pistol hoping it would intimidate her. It doesn't work.
** As for the pistol, either it was just owned by the whole crew or Nami took it or had it given to her, because at one point (at least in the anime), Nami is seen holding it while preparing to fend off a possible attack.
Line 584:
* [[Knife Nut]]: Sanji firmly believes that kitchen knives should not be bloodied in battle, as they are sacred instruments meant solely for the preparation of food. When fighting an opponent whose armor and weapons were made of food, though, Sanji decided that using knives to get rid of the armor would be no different from using knives to prepare a meal and displayed an incredible knife-fighting style.
* [[Lightning Bruiser]]: Of the Hard-Hitting-Speedster variation, as he's the second fastest member of the Strawhats while his physical power is roughly the same as that of Zoro.
* [[Lovable Sex Maniac]]: He'll do anything for a glimpse at ANY part of a woman, and while he's been hinted to peep (which is [[Dude, Not Funny|NOT ok in real life]]) it just makes him more awesome.
* [[Love Can Make You Gonk]]: He can make some pretty strange facial expressions when he's gushing over pretty women.
* [[Made of Iron]]: One of his latest stunts was to {{spoiler|fight a Kraken 5000ft underwater. It was so fast that he didn't even suffer from the pressure.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Man, I Feel Like a Woman]]}}: {{spoiler|When Law puts his heart in Nami's body, Sanji can't resist the urge to peep at or feel him/herself up.}}
* [[Marshmallow Hell|Marshmallow Heaven]]: Has received this twice, both times from {{spoiler|beautiful mermaids}}, much to his delight.
* {{spoiler|[[Mistaken for Gay|Mistaken For]] [[Wholesome Crossdresser|Crossdresser]]: By a whole flock of crossdressers}}.
Line 594:
* [[Nosebleed]]: It happens so much during a period of shock after being separated from women he actually needs a blood transfusion.
* [[Oh Crap]]: Usually calm and composed, he had an epic one {{spoiler|when he realize who exactly are the inhabitants of Momoiro.}}
* [[Peek -a -Bangs]]: His left eye has always been covered by his hair, though [[Word of God]] says that it's perfectly functional under there. He's even held a pair of binoculars up to it before. Later on, {{spoiler|he switched the bangs to the other side, revealing that both his eyebrows swirl in the same direction}}.
* [[Playing With Fire]]: His "Diable Jambe" technique involves lighting his effing leg on FIRE, [[Friction Burn|via friction]], and attacking with it. Interestingly, while Oda joked that his Hot Blood is what allows him to do it, it seems to be turning into a true ability, with him bursting into flames during his anger and characters commenting on it on enough occasions to make one wonder if it was just a joke or not.
** {{spoiler|Confirmed to be canon in chapter 646. Sanji, [[It Runs On Nonsensoleum|in some kind of way]] , can actually ignite his entire body on fire by "thinking of those 2 years in hell" and then transfer that fire onto his opponent with a kick. It's pretty epic.}}
Line 604:
** It's funny you... *cough* *cough* [[Wholesome Crossdresser|mentioned pink]]...
* [[Sharp Dressed Man]]: A suit is his standard form of attire, usually only wearing more casual clothes during transitions between arcs.
* [[Smoking Is Cool]]: Both TV English dubs dealt with this by either editing his cigarette out altogether ([[FU NimationFUNimation]]), or by turning it into a lollipop ([[Four Kids Entertainment|4Kids]]).
* {{spoiler|[[Super Not -Drowning Skills]]}}: {{spoiler|He has an underwater version of [[Double Jump|Sky Walk]] called "Blue Walk" and is said to be as fast as a fishman, which is pretty fast considering they're the ''third fastest swimmers in the sea''}}.
* [[Supreme Chef]]: Makes some of the best damn food you'll find on the Grand Line. And he joined the crew to fulfill his dream of finding some mysterious and awesome ingredients that can only be found in the All Blue, so he can cook even ''better''.
* [[Taken for Granite]]: [[Played for Laughs]]. After his two years in "Hell", he is so susceptible to women's looks that just LOOKING at Hancock does this to him. {{spoiler|Shirahoshi as well.}}
Line 619:
** Made 100 times worse as a side effect from the [[Training From Hell]]. For a time, even looking at a woman would cause him to faint.
*** {{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.
** On a more serious note, {{spoiler|kicks Luffy and tells him to think before he speaks after he tells Usopp, in a fit of anger, to leave if he disagrees with his decision. Luffy apologizes, but it's too late.}}
* [[Wouldn't Hit a Girl]]: As a result of a "strict upbringing". See also [[Weaksauce Weakness]] above.
Line 645:
* [[Badass Adorable]]
* [[Barefoot Cartoon Animal]]: Except for when he's Chopperman.
** [[Half -Dressed Cartoon Animal]]: [[Inverted]]: Whereas this trope typically refers to animal characters not wearing pants, usually he doesn't wear a shirt.
* [[Berserk Button]]: First, do not call yourself a "Doctor" and hurt people like Hogback does. Second, {{spoiler|Do Not turn innocent children into drug addicts and call it for their own good.}}
** He's not a tanuki! Or a gorilla! (Heavy Point) Or a beetle! (post-time-skip Horn Point)
Line 653:
* [[Cherry Blossoms]]: Just check out his introduction.
* [[Cowardly Lion]]: Like Usopp, he can be a scaredy-cat at times. Once push comes into shove, however...
** {{spoiler|Not so much after the [[Time Skip]], it seems. He's already faced down a particularly vicious [[EverythingsEverything's Even Worse With Sharks|Shark Fishman]] without losing his confident grin for a second.}}
** {{spoiler|Luffy raising the fear level to one of the four emperors was too much even for the new Chopper.}}
* [[Cross Dressing Voices]]: Being a [[Ridiculously Cute Critter]], naturally he's voiced by women.
Line 667:
* [[Foreshadowing]]: A minor case at best, but the hat that he wears in the 10th movie is what he eventually wears after the [[Time Skip]].
* [[Genius Ditz]]: He's a doctor and really knows his craft, but he may be even more excitable than Luffy (he believes Usopp's tall tales, for one). {{spoiler|He also didn't seem to be able to know the Fake!Strawhats were fake right away.}}
* [[Half -Dressed Cartoon Animal]]: Initially [[Inverted]], as he wore shorts but usually not shirts. He wore a jacket in Enies Lobby, but no shirt under. [[Averted]] since the time skip, since he now wears an A-shirt.
* [[Honor Before Reason]]: When [[The Ditz|Gedatsu]] drowned one of his enforcers with his swamp cloud attack, Chopper felt duty-bound as a doctor to save him. This did involve [[Worst Aid|going into "Heavy Point" and beating on his chest]].
* [[Hour of Power]]: Actually three minutes of power, but that's all the time he needs to kick somebody's ass with his Rumble Ball.
Line 699:
* [[Super Deformed]]: A result of his [[Art Evolution]].
* [[Super Drowning Skills]]: He likes to jump in the water to save Luffy, forgetting that ''he can't swim either''.
* [[Super -Powered Evil Side]]: Brought on by using three Rumble Ball [[Voluntary Shapeshifting|transformations]] in a short period of time.
** Though it's not so much "evil" as it is an uncontrollable monster that attacks everybody.
** {{spoiler|After the timeskip he can control it, albeit only for three minutes.}}
Line 705:
* [[Tap On the Head]]: When he was with Dr. Kureha, she had him give patients concussions as a form of anesthetic.
* [[Team Pet]]: What the Marines assume him to be, hence his ridiculously low bounty of 50 Berries. He'd probably have a much higher one if they took him seriously.
* [[Token Non -Human]]
* [[Voluntary Shapeshifting]]: Chopper's primary fighting style relies on his hybridization and augmentation of human and reindeer parts.
** After {{spoiler|the [[Time Skip]], he no longer needs the rumble ball for six of his transformations.}}
Line 729:
* [[Affirmative Action Girl]]: Let's face it, that's what she is, even though she is ''much'' more developed and less blatant than usual.
* [[All of the Other Reindeer]]: She was treated as an outcast on Ohara after eating a Devil Fruit.
* [[Anti -Villain]] --> [[Anti -Hero]]: Initially joined Baroque Works if for no other reason than to survive long enough to read a Poneglyph, and had no personal interest in power (Type II), until becoming an Anti-Hero [[Sliding Scale of Anti -Heroes|Type IV]]. She (along with Zoro) are the most vicious and brutal of all the Straw-Hats, breaking spines, going for the [[Groin Attack|groin]], and using sneak attacks.
* [[Badass]]
** [[Action Girl]]
Line 765:
* [[Heroic Willpower]]: Having her shadow ripped out took about 15 minutes, tops, for her to get back on her feet. To put this in perspective, the average person would be incapacitated for ''three days''.
* [[Impossible Hourglass Figure]]: Post-timeskip.
* [[Interrupted Suicide]]: After her hopes of finding the Rio Poneglyph were crushed in Alabasta, she decides to stay inside the crumbling Royal Tomb. She is wounded, but considering her powers she could have escaped if she had wanted so. The [[Unwanted Rescue]] comes in form of Luffy. It takes some time and the [[Power of Friendship]], but this becomes [[Happily -Failed Suicide]].
* [[Lady of Adventure]]
* [[Large Ham]]: It turns out that Robin is the biggest overactor of the crew. Subversion in that she only does this for musicals.
** Justified: she thought it was supposed to be an opera. Normally she is quite serious.
* [[Magic Pants]]: Begins making use of this when she {{spoiler|gains the ability to create [[MesMe's a Crowd|full-body clones]], as she also develops the ability to create outfits out of nowhere to clothe them with. Notable in that she blatantly avoided this trope up until this point(and actually still does, the full-body clones being the only application of her powers that have any clothes).}}
* {{spoiler|[[MesMe's a Crowd]]}}: {{spoiler|She has recently become able to create complete duplicates of herself.}}
* [[Minored in Asskicking]]
* [[Missing Mom]]: Her mother Olivia was away trying to research the Lost One Hundred Years, and the two didn't see each other until Ohara's destruction.
* [[Mr. Exposition|Ms. Exposition]]: As the resident [[Badass Bookworm]] of the Straw Hats crew, she's often the one explaining the world of One Piece for [[Idiot Hero|Luffy's]] and consequently the audience's benefit.
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: Oh yeah. Wears somewhat [[Hell -Bent for Leather|fetishistic]] [[Of Corsets Sexy|outfits]]? Check. A tendency to end up bound (if not gagged)? Check. [[Go -Go Enslavement|Sporting]] [[Absolute Cleavage]] on a [[Violation of Common Sense|frigid island in the middle of a blizzard]]? Check. In all fairness, that last one wasn't really her fault or intentional.
* [[Multi -Armed and Dangerous]]: Her most common use of her [[Touched By Vorlons|Devil Fruit power]] is sprouting arms on her opponent(s) and putting them in submission holds.
* [[Nerves of Steel]]
* [[Nice Hat]]: As Miss All Sunday, she always wore a white cowboy hat. She still occasionally does, or sometimes a purple one.
* [[The Nicknamer]]: Robin rarely address her crewmates by name, ''any name'', she's very fond of [[Hey, You]]; when she does go by name, it will be a simple nickname like Long-nose-kun (Ussop), Bushido-san (Zoro), Cook-san (Sanji) & etc. The only crewmate she will always call by name is Luffy, the captain himself, and this was after she found her place with the Straw Hats, before that she addressed him as Straw Hat, like all his foes.
** Considering her past, this is her defense mechanism. It prevent her to be attached to people. In Enies Lobby event however she found herself a Nakama that is willing to travel with her despite all the burden she carries, and from there on she is willing to call the Strawhats by name, starting with Luffy.
* [[Nightmare Fetishist]]: Possibly the only one besides Luffy who can find a monstrous, three-headed, decaying zombie dog ''cute''.
* [[Nightmare Fuel StationattendantStation Attendant]]: In times when members of the crew have befallen an uncertain fate, she usually suggests that they suffered the most gruesome demise possible, or otherwise points out macabre points of trivia.
* [[Perky Goth]]: She sort of has a taste for the macabre. To name a few examples, she suggested "Being of Darkness" as a name for the Thousand Sunny and even called the Cerberus on Thriller Bark "cute".
* [[Petal Power]]: For some reason, pink flower petals appear whenever she uses her DF powers.
Line 792:
** Perhaps not the same ending theme, but one involves shots of each of the crew looking normally, before switching over to a crazy expression, with two exceptions; Zoro, who simply falls asleep, and Robin, who goes from reading books to... reading more books.
** [[Not So Stoic]]: Enies Lobby. That's all.
* [[Strong Family Resemblance]]: The only difference between Robin and her mother is that the former isn't a [[White -Haired Pretty Girl]].
* [[Super Drowning Skills]]: As a Devil Fruit user, she is affected by this, though the only times she's ever been in danger of this was during the seventh [[The Movie|movie]] and the climax of the Enies Lobby arc.
* [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]]: Robin is this trope; she's the third tallest member of the crew (6'2"), has long flowing dark locks, is widely considered to be the most attractive member of the crew, and has an austere and sophisticated personality.
** Heck, she won a poll run by [[The Wiki Rule|the One Piece Wiki]] for the single most attractive woman in the setting, ''beating out Hancock and Shirahoshi'', who ''canonically'' hold that title.
* [[Team Mom]]: [[Word of God]] described her as being like this.
* [[Tempting Fate]]: Her somewhat macabre sense of humor often unnerves her companions.
* [[Wrestler in All of Us|There's a Wrestler in All of Us]]: Robin specializes in submission locks and her most common form of attack is taking down an enemy from a distance in this manner using her powers. After the [[Time Skip]], she even takes it up a notch and one of her moves involves making a [[Doppelganger Attack|clone]] of herself to take down the legs in a submission hold while she herself performs a diving-neck snap. [[Muscles Are Meaningless|On a Fishman twice her size]]. A Fishman who, like all Fishmen, is said to naturally be 10 times stronger than the average human. [[Precision F -Strike|Damn]].
* [[Thigh High Boots]]: Occasionally.
* [[Tsurime Eyes]]
Line 848:
* [[Made of Iron]]: Or rather steel.
* [[Naked People Are Funny]]: Buttnaked!Franky, anyone?
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: On the island he was sent to, he unintentionally {{spoiler|self-destructed the laboratory of Dr. Vegapunk, the smartest man in the One Piece world. His lab was considered a treasure to the marines}}.
** He ended up [[What the Hell, Hero?|doing this twice.]]
* [[Nigh Invulnerable]]: Only from the front, though. He couldn't reach his back so it's totally unarmored.
* [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]]: Some fans believe he might be based off of [[Jim Carrey]].
Line 878:
*** [[Shoulder Cannon]]: Has a couple of 'em that [[Squick|dislocate his shoulder blades]]. {{spoiler|He gets a Shoulder Rocket Launcher and a more functional [[Shoulder Cannon]] after Time-skip.}}
** [[Fighting With Chucks]]: [[Calling Your Attacks|Heavy Nunchuk!]] It's made from two stone pillars attached to already large steel nunchuks. Thriller Bark only, for now.
** {{spoiler|[[Frickin' Laser Beams]]: After the time skip, he's developed this as a finishing move as a replacement to his Coup de Vent.}}
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: Styled after Ace Ventura's, even.
 
Line 935:
* [[Immortal Immaturity]]: Brook has a serious side, but is very quick to join in on the unnecessary playfulness that the younger members make. He claims to just love having fun.
** Considering he was [[The Aloner|alone for over 50 years]], he's probably making up for lost time.
* [[Incredibly Lame Pun]]: They are his favotite types of jokes -- they really bust his gut. But... WAIT! [[Self -Demonstrating Article|HE DOESN'T HAVE A GUT!!! YOHOHOOOOOOO!!!! SKULL JOKE!!!]]
* [[Insane Equals Violent]]: Greatly subverted. As described by some of the [[The Aloner|other]] tropes [[Go Mad From the Isolation|listed]], Brook is not entirely well. As [[Gentle Giant|described]] by still [[Nice Guy|other]] tropes, he is also the [[The Pollyanna|least likely]] to even act like a jerk, let alone be particularly violent as pirates go.
* [[Intergenerational Friendship]]: Brook is old enough to be Franky’s grandfather or Luffy’s greatgrandfather!
