No one dies in One Piece

[Not A Hero]

I hate it when people complain about this. IMO, the fact that noone dies in One Piece adds to the overwhelming charm of the series. Seriously. It's like it's saying: "Yeah, this is a cartoon. So what?"

Umm...What do you think?:)

[d.Lughie]

at last able to go OL here again...

anyway.. I don't really like it either about that.. but its quite true.. Pell, the most apparent reason.. I dont know why Oda keeps this character alive.. maybe he just want to bring out originality that no one dies in this manga.. but.. I dunno.. hopefully someone dies though (not in FB)... and not the crew please.. I love the crew the way it is..

[wrecca]

Haven't there already been quite a few deaths?

[Tsuuga]

Pell should have died. Sorry, with the intensity of the flashbacks and some of the current moments, it takes out a lot of the impact when you know that nobody will die.

EDIT: I can count the number of named character deaths on one hand. The flashbacks, however, are quite brutal and can kill anybody.

[graysocks]

Yeah Pell should've died but i think the lack of deaths makes the few deaths in it a lot more dramatic. The violent death of Arlong was both shocking and real satisfying = P

[underdogdlx]

I think Croc should have died like Arlong. :( but the lack of deaths doesnt particularly bother me. this way luffy leaves behind a trail of whupped enemies to attest to his strength.

[graysocks]

Yeah but thats Luffys way. He's no murderer. If he went around killing all his enemies he could end up being perceived as a dark character which he is as far from as possible. He is as lighthearted as it gets and just does what he thinks is right in his own silly head. Like with Goku, he never actually tried to kill anyone but Frieza and he didn't even put his heart into that, just 1 shot. Would Goku still have his famous ^_^ hehehe hey guys! persona if he killed everyone who he met?

[Chef Sanji]

I am happy to know that none of the straw hat pirate crew will ever die because they are just too hard to kill. The things that some how annoy me is that not very many of the enemies are killed. Although it's true that "luffy leaves behind a trail of whupped enemies to attest to his strength." But really some of them deserve to die... like croc for an example. Cause even though the enemies are captured by the marines (after Luffy beat them senseless of course...), but they could escape like the evil captain morgan.

[Hitomi_No_Ryu]

I think Odachi gets too attached to his characters to want to kill them off so easily...

[underdogdlx]

haha, a very good point, hitomi. he does put a lot of detail into them. :P

[Hitotsumami]

Don't quote me on this, but I think I read somewhere that Oda said something like, Luffy doesn't kill anyone, but instead, shatters their dreams. He considers that a worst pain then death.

I'll try to find where I read this.

sounds familiar, probably from one of the SBS corners.

[Yuhara]

No one dies in One Piece? No one dies in Naruto. Such a huge fanbase is centered around each main character in both series, that i dont think any main characters could just "die." Besides that, i dont mind people not dieing. Actual deaths resulting in battles (few exceptions) just dosnt flow with the mood of both series. If there actualy were deaths, then One Piece and Naruto would turn into very dark series IMO, and i dont thinks thats why we tune into watch these series every week.

[crazymtf]

^Yeah true Yuhara both series have very little death...but one piece proves you don't need death to be nice, want death watch basilisk or Gants :P

[Low-fi Boy]

I'm pretty sure Bellamy got killed by the Flamingo guy for bringing shame to his crew. But if you're talking about major characters, yeah, no-ones dies. But that doesn't make it a bad series

[Masaki]

Pell should have died not only because of the dramatic moment, but also because he took a suped up bomb explosion from point-blank.

Wiper should have died just because he used the reject dial three times and was slaughtered by Enel.

And Yuhara, people died in Naruto. Zabuza, Haku, Sarutobi, the Sound Five, and Hayate.

[Hokage Naruto]

I don't think its that huge of an issue since sometimes after the Straw Hats defeat an enemy, we don't see them again or we see them again later down the road. Unlike Naruto, in some cases, were characters barely survive an arc/scene and they don't die than we see them again in the next few chapters.

A lot of Shonen Jump mangas struggle from killing off characters. Yu Yu Hakusho did an okay job with killing characters but sometimes they were brought back and that pissed me off. Kenshin killed off characters, Hunter x Hunter did, too.

[crazymtf]

Oh my god i loved when Gankai die. Yusuke was PISSED. But he still wasn't in any shape to take out taguro, but he was SO mad, mad me pissed :P. I like that she came back, set up so you don't hate taguro so much. Now Kawabara after all the times he should of died, it got annoying and Yusuke dying a second time was really good. Oh well i thought they handled that series well with deaths, especially sensuies, my fav death, but One Piece doesn't need death to make it kick ass.

[Hokage Naruto]

Kuwabara's death was great. I was like "Yes, no more annoying Kuwabara" but than he survived, I went crazy. I hated Sensui's death. Sensui was a great character in the show, he raped everyone in the series. He was beyond insane with the self mutilations and his power. Sensui was screwed by arc transition, he is still one of my favorite villains/characters in anime/manga.

I liked Kuwabara like i like Usopp, they could be funny but most of the time just plain out annoying. I really liked Sensui's death for one reason, Yusuke possed versioin just beat the living shit out of him and the othere reason was how he died, he seemed happy. I also liked how Yusuke died the second time, he was like "Goodbye" Wanting everyone to unlock there true power, and it worked, then he came back...PISSED :P It was awsome, god do i love that beatiful anime :cry Oh yeah One piece, it's awsome :)

[Not A Hero]

Well, I mean, I hate it when people complain that somone [I]didn't[I] die. It annoys me allmost as much as like when Harry Potter fans read those longass books just to find out who dies in te end. There's a fine line between drama and melodrama, y'know...Just killing people to please the bloodthirsty fans? That's stupid. Seriously.

[Suzumebachi]

I was so happy when I found out Pell was alive.

[Anemone]

actually, I never really thought about it......

Nmaa, I don't really care either way...I never really hated anyone enough to wish them dead, that's the magic of One Piece :nod

[Valdens]

Luffy wont kill similarly to how Superman wont.

[SeruraRenge]

The only people who die in One Piece have to be one of these 3 things:
1. Be from a character's flashback
2. Not have a name (the White Berets, other ppl who died when Angel Island blew up)
3. Be Bellamy.
Luffy wont kill similarly to how Superman wont.
what do you mean? Superman has tried to kill Darkseid every time they've fought.

[omiK]

Some people die in Naruto. The biggest death so far in the series tho was Sandaime. He will be missed.

[Masaki]

@Not A Hero: Pell's death would have been amazing for Arabasta's plot.

@Suzume: Same here, but it still took away the impact of the scene.

@traci: Only I'm allowed to imitate Icebarg :yell

[TheMax7000]

What made me mad was with enel's "survival game". He worked so hard to "kill" people to make his prediction of 5(not sure of the number) people be left after 3 hours. And then after he lost to luffy, most of the people were still alive!!! WTF. Just kinda stupid to have all that build-up to kill people off and then have them stay alive.:mad

[Molekage]

its kind of funny how much punishment people in OP can take. makes them better meat shields than say, ninjas in naruto

[TenshiOni]

This has never really bothered me. I actually like the fact that none of the villains outside of Bellamy (he was a douche) have died. It gives them the oppurtunity to reappear later in the story.

Also, as Oda did say himself, Luffy shatters the dreams of his enemy -- much worse than death, imo.

There has only been one case where this fact has pissed me off in One Piece: Pell. The guy took a freakin' bomb -- that was going to level a city -- to the face and survived. THAT is stupid.

But I can't hate Oda-sensei for it. He makes up for it with ample amounts of consistent awesome.

[Hype]

Its a thing Ive gotten use to watching all three of the animes One Piece , Naruto and Bleach.

It use to bother me at first for example wehn Chouji and Nefi didnt die in Naruto and as the above person mentioned Pell not dieing after a nuke to the face. It seems that the characters have to big a fanbase these days there would be uproar if one of the main cast was to die. It something a lot of people need to adjust too just as we have.

[crazymtf]

Basliks if you want death, i love the anime but don't get attatched to anyone because death is like the main theme of the eps.

[ydraliskos]

Basliks if you want death, i love the anime but don't get attatched to anyone because death is like the main theme of the eps.

Basilisk had probably the best deaths in anime :( Still, that series leaves you so sad..

[RockLee]

So what if Luffy never kills anyone? He turns them all into non-threats right after, and they can spread the word of his legendary prowess, aside from providing an amusing cover story.

Now that Mike has reminded me, what was Pell's excuse for surviving? He should have been dead.

[Tapp Zaddaz]

The only people in One Piece can die is if they are shown in a flashback.

[crazymtf]

Basilisk had probably the best deaths in anime :( Still, that series leaves you so sad..

Yeah i love the deaths but each one was pretty damn sad :(

Oh also Goku didn't kill one person in the whole series with his fist, did anyone relize that? NOT ONE. Spirit bomb i don't count since it was everybody's energy. :nuts

[gamebreaker04]

The lack of deaths/brutality usually mean to casual watchers that the show isn't serious enough. To us real anime fans though, we see beyond that and appreciate its true value.

[RockLee]

We anime fans have distinct tastes and a refinded, inherant sense of class.

[Tsuuga]

Maybe Pell... released it into space. And dove to escape the blast radius.

You two need to buy me a new sarcasm detector now, are you happy?

[MasamuneX7]

Pell not dying was a huge mistake. Also, it made not a bit of sense for him to survive an explosion of that magnitude at ground zero.

I also find it odd how Enel's Judgment and super voltage attacks are unable to kill people... like Pagaya, or Gan Fall, or all those Shandian warriors.

[d.Lughie]

That's what makes us a little disappointed too... but Oda repays it back 100x more times.. ^^ relax..

[crazymtf]

Still think pell's surviviing is good so i don't care :)

[escamoh]

We anime fans have distinct tastes and a refinded, inherant sense of class.

lol thats very true :laugh.

[Geese]

Who should have died:

Pell
Pagaya
Mr. 1


Who need not have died/is better off alive:

Crocodile


Edit: It should be noted that Oda is not afraid to kill or adverse violence or anything but rather he feels offing a character FOR GOOD leaves a bitter taste in the mouth being that they can never be used again (he said this is an SBS sometime ago). I'm sure that if Dragonballs or some sort of similar plot device that allowed for characters to come back had existed, we'd be seeing deaths all over the place (after all, Bellemere and the Oharans had pretty gruesome deaths in their respective flashback sequences).

[IRNinjaBob]

Yeah, a lot of you take the fact of whether characters should or shouldn't die the wrong way.

By saying some characters should have indeed died, doen't mean ALL of the defeated characters should die. Like Oda said, Luffy doesn't kill his enemys, but that doesn't mean characters such as Pell, or all but the 5 who survived Enel's survival game shouldn't have died, with the excepting of a few, such as chopper, and the rest of the injured straw hat crew. In fact, the only explanation to about all of the characters from enel's surviving game being alive in the end is the fact that Enel could sense all of the island's inhabitants life sources. The only explanation for this would be that since they were brought to "close to death" situation, Enel wasn't able to sense the little life source they had left. But the one character who, no matter how much I am glad he lived, I am truely "mad" about his survival is Wiper. Wiper's impact conch is supposed to kill, or severly injure the user if they are lucky. He not only survived one blast from the conch, but three. AND HE SURVIVED ENEL'S JUDGEMENT. Some may feel that it is nice to keep the character alive, but that is just seriously too far. That just proves that it will most likely be impossible to kill off any of the characters of one piece who aren't portrayed as truely evil characters.

[Demonspiritfox]

no one dies prob. cause they are all going to come back later in the series.

[Kraker2k]

pell should have died, i thought he had died, when he came back i was thinking "wtf"....he carried an explosive with a 5km radus and survived, making a full recovery..thats just silly.....even by anime standards.

[Marsala]

Nah, Wiper's survival was cool. He was just so helluva tough that nothing could put him down. Also, we weren't "teased" with his death for very long; he always got right back up again a short time later.

Also, having the villains like Arlong, Crocodile (yes, they both survived), Mr. 1 and Enel living is okay since it makes Luffy and the Straw Hats look less bloodthirsty. It would be somehow wrong for them to kill the villains at the end of every arc.

But Pell... his survival was the absolute worst. It's not like Oda hesitates to kill off nameless characters or low-ranking villains - just ask the 100 Baroque Works agents on Whiskey Peak that Zoro killed, the poor slobs who drank the Hero's Water, or the White Berets. So there was no good reason for Pell to survive. It's not like he's ever bound to play an important role in the story again. Bad, bad, bad. I have similar feelings about Hinamori's survival in Bleach, but at least she didn't sacrifice herself for all of Soul Society and is bound to have some important role later on.

[Wrath]

Pell has a good chance of reappearing. Oda said that a character from the past will reappear, and I think that could well be Pell, because I have to think that Oda had some reason for not letting him die.

I like that hardly anyone dies in One Piece. I was surprised that Mr. 1 didn't, but it doesn't bother me. It's just not a series where people die often.

Now, people not dying in Naruto, that's another matter, because people try to kill each other all the time. I still believe that Kishimoto intended to kill Chouji and changed his mind for some reason afterwards.

[escamoh]

I never knew Mr.1 survived....

[Kraker2k]

he took a pill that he knew that would kill him..yet he survives....

[Suzumebachi]

Oh wait a second. Bellamy died.

[Masaki]

Oh wait a second. Bellamy died.

That was implied. For all we know, DeFlamingo could have stopped the attack last second.

Until we see their dead corpses, we can't be sure of any deaths.

[Tsuuga]

If he does come back, no one will be cheering, that's for sure.

[Suzumebachi]

It'll be a fun cover arc. "Decapitated Bellamy's Ice Cream Island!"

[Delta Shell]

Yeah, Pell not dying was just silly imo.

You're safe in the One Piece world as long as you aren't in a flashback. If you are then fear for your life.

[Code]

I'm pretty sure plenty of people died in the fighting between the Enforcers and Shandians during Alabasta, same with the Royal Army against the Rebels in Alabasta. You would have to assume a lot of people that was shown to die, are still alive. Though in regards to being said in the series, it was being stated that Zoro killed some of those Bounty Hunters in Whiskey Peak (this being said 3 times in the series), along with it being stated that Gin was going to die, I think the same with the members of the Alabastian gaurds. Well no reason to bother naming all incidents, there are quite a few.

Well no reason to bother naming all incidents, there are quite a few.Eneru slaughtered 649 militia members off-panel, the mermen were killing people in the two villages for years, Mihawk must have killed plenty of people when he destroyed Don Krieg's fleet, CP9 probably killed a bunch of people in their rampage... there are lots of deaths in One Piece, it's just most of them happen off-panel. It's just the Straw Hats who don't kill.

[Tsuuga]

All of the priests died, I think. And that one huge guy that fought Robin... well, he probably died like a crazy beef.

[Caustic]

Well, in some cases, the fact that everyone always comes back in some way or another annoys me. In other cases, I take solace in that fact.

For example, Pell's survival annoyed me. All that build-up for nothing.
Pajaya's (or whatever his name was) survival annoyed me, but it was amusing, so I'm willing to "forgive and forget"

In contrast, I was happy when Rolar survived Eneru's electric assault.
I will also be happy when Sodom and Gomorrah return happy and healthy.

The rest, I'm mostly indifferent to.

[Delta Shell]

I think Zoro has probably killed a few guys here and there, the main dudes he fights never seem to "die" though. Even though he slices them to pieces, they always seem to survive.

However I bet he's killed a few no namers here and there.

[Windy]

Yeah, Pell not dying was just silly imo.

You're safe in the One Piece world as long as you aren't in a flashback. If you are then fear for your life.

Hehe, according to a friend of mine, the best devil fruit to have would be the flashback fruit - Eating it would make you the strongest character in One Piece, since you'll actually be able to like, kill people! smile-big

[yuhun]

Damn, not even Enel died! But its the same in Bleach no one ever dies in that either, Hinamori? Hitsugaiya? Only Hollows which don't really count as characters die.

[KageMane]

Damn, not even Enel died! But its the same in Bleach no one ever dies in that either, Hinamori? Hitsugaiya? Only Hollows which don't really count as characters die.

Actually they dont die... Their souls are freed :laugh

We should make a "I survived a One Piece flashback" FC.

Or a "I actually died in One Piece" FC.

[Masaki]

Hehe, according to a friend of mine, the best devil fruit to have would be the flashback fruit - Eating it would make you the strongest character in One Piece, since you'll actually be able to like, kill people! smile-big

But then you'd have a good chance to get killed, too.

[yangxu]

I don't understand how these skypiea people survived when they are stroke by 1 billion volts of lightning... this is overexaggerating a person's survival capability... =/

[Masaki]

Volts don't kill. I believe something else in electricity does, I forgot the unit.

[yangxu]

You mean amperes or watts? Volts won't kill if it's less than 10000 I believe, but 1 billion volts is capable of frying wood to dust...

[Code]

I could be wrong, but it's the current that runs through your body that can cause death. The amount of volts (and resistance of the object) would affect the current (amperes). So the amount of volts would probably matter.

[kombak]

Didnt the woman who take care of Nami , died?

[Broleta]

I bet Oda is still having a good laugh to this very day seeing One Piece fans go crazy at the fact he made Pell live.

[Raptor]

Didn't everyone but Robin in Ohara died?
Didn't Berumeru-San died?
Didn't the old doctor who took care of Chopper died?
Didn't Ussop mother died?
Didn't Zoro friend died as well?

They did. so yeah people die in OP.

[Falco-san]

Didn't everyone but Robin in Ohara died?
Didn't Berumeru-San died?

As said before mostly only flashbackpeople die. And offscreen people as: Slaughtered villagers and such.

And Pell, that just sucked...I mean, dont get me wrond, I loved him.

But, HE TOOK A BOMB TO THE FACE THAT HAD A BLAST RADIUS OF 5 FRIKKIN KILOMETERS!

Ahem...

It kinda destroyed his heroic sacrifice for me...

IF he apears some day, then he better have e pretty damn goo explanation for not dying :P

[coolgu]

i like that there are no deaths it shows that this crew is different from all others, they do things there own way. most pirates are ruthless and are always killing. not killing also emphasizes the fact of their strength. it is harder to beat a person down to where they dont get back up then it is to kill them.

[coolgu]

i agree, also nami's mom died too. the thing is i think that there are deaths but they are not just there like in any story. any death is important to the story line. it shows a past or it shows how cruel the person is. i think this is why there are so few deaths that are remembered because they are not just there. you think of them in the context of the story so it goes with the time line that much better to create a great story.

[Warlock1314]

People do die in One Piece for example

Bell mare she died to save nami and her sister. Tom died from Water 7 to protect Iceberg and Franky. The doctor who took in Chopper died see plenty of people die.

It has also already been pointed out that plenty of non-flashback people have died.

[Moondoggie]

I suppose Oda likes to keep the characters alive for another day. Maybe he has something big planned for all of them in the future other then in the side stories....

[Elven Ninja]

what really pissed me off is when pell survived that bomb attack. that had to be the most retardest thing ever

[Masaki]

Mr. 11 dies. And I'm sure Shura did, too.

[Rokudaime]

I always thought that Croc is dead until one of OP cover showed Croc is still living in the prison really pissed me off.

[Code]

Well the fact that they were eager to arrest him afterwards made it clear that he was live.

And did you actually read/watch the anime? We damn well know Gin's alive. Mr. 11 is confirmed dead, and we're about 90% sure Bellamy's dead. Sodom and Gommarah haven't been confirmed yet.

Pell is alive? Did I miss something?

You're kidding. He reappeared at his grave.

[jeremycards]

notice than i just registered in this forum to post in this topic xD found it by luck searching pics of robin in the 7th movie, i was wondering about this for some time so i readed allll the topic xD, i can say many things

first, i dont really think Arlong dies :S
second, beyond the death or dont death of some characters, what really anoys me, its than characters like Captain Kuro are alive and free, and its stupid! i mean, yeah its true... luffy crushed kuro dream and all, but what stops him to go now and kill Kaya and everyone to take revenge? even if his plan failed he could want to take revenge :S he is a bloodthirsty kaizoku after all xD, same with Arlong, i dont think he really died, and if he didn't he could come back and make everyone slaves again =S, anyway, yeah pell survive was really retarded... plus he's not likely to come back again, i mean he's just like a guard of arabasta, and they are preety far from arabasta rigth now, but well, i was rather happy to he to survive =P another stupid survive than no1 mentioned was Conis father :S he was a NORMAL old guy, with no strenght at all, and he survived Eneru's Judgement???.......... lets remember he alreaddy killed plenty people with the judgement! or at least thats what they make you think, and that old man survived???.............. yeah well things like that are nice in the moment but retard when u think about it xD, anyway what most bothers me is than many bad guys are free and alive and can come back at any moment to take revenge, i think don krieg migth do it, same could happen with buggy but they explained he was after luffy so thats ok. anyway sorry if im bringing back an old topic xD but it really got my atention

[PIB-Chaotic]

I'd be quite satisfied seeing just one single DF user drown to death rather than being rescued.

[Jh1stgen]

Well .. as already pointed out ~ There are characters that died, but in terms where Luffy kills his opponents, that is not the case because Luffy doesnt believe in killing people

[[Uchiha]Madara]

I find it cool that Eneru survived, however most of the Shandians like Kamakiri should have died.

I mean if an ordinary person receives only 220, max 300 volt...he's dead. Let's say an extraordinary person should survive 500 no more, superior ppl with extraordinary luck could maybe survive 1000-2000max. And now tell me how the fuck can some1 survive 1 000 000 000 volt? Also the others like Sanji and Zoro who received 60-100 000 000 000 volt survived...sure they didn't look well and they are uber strong but face the fact, that amount would kill anyone affected by it.

For example in begin on the lil boat where Eneru burnt Sanji and Ussop was no more than 1mil. volt and Sanji barely survived then later on Maxim arc he was hit by 30 or 60mil (can't remember) and he still survived..;wtf?!

But ok, main chars shouldn't die that easy, but Kamakiri should have died just like Pell.

Edit: Next time they face Ao Kiji I hope some1 dies. (not that I want em to die, just to be fair)

[Futagokage]

More important that if someone die or not in OP, is if it's important.

What I mean is that even if I am 150% with the general opinion (Croc,Pell, Most Shandia should have died), the fact is that OP has shown how a great shonen manga do not depend in the quantity of death guys, but in the argument.

I really do not imagine OP with a Strw Hat Pirate dying, even in the end (but an end in which no one knows if Luffy is death or alive seems plausible, after all that is a trademark of shonen).

[Xell]

Why are you guys getting angry about no deaths in One Piece? It has a good story, that's all that matters.

[[Uchiha]Madara]

I'm not angry, just gave my opinion. OP has great story, it's funny and the chars are cool, overall great anime.:)

[suppai]

that is the one thing that erks me about One Piece. sometimes it seems like I'm watching looney toons, it's like all the characters can have an anvil dropped on thier head and be fine, it's pretty silly but doesn't go along with the serious deaths in flashbacks. other than the flashbacks no one dies. well, it's true that some minor characters died such as Mr. 11, but then he wasn't even a "minor" character, he was only shown getting shot that's it.

What did you expect? people in one piece aren't normal
Zoro can lift a building, cut through steel, can turn shockwaves that can cut through towers in mist.
Its the same for sanji and luffy.

Anyway the only thing that i hated was pell not dying.

[Hitotsumami]

Anyway the only that i hated was pell not dying.

Agree. Pell was the only one. I didn't care if everyone else survived, but Pell's emotional scene was destroyed when we seen him alive.

[Powdered Toast Man]

Wiper should've died as well or at least not been able to walk...I love one piece but Wiper should've at least suffered some permanent damage to me this went beyond the whole "OP cracters are durable theme" his insides should've been reduced to mush. And after 3 reject dials he got shocked to hell by Enel.
All of skypiea had huge survival flaws; namely all the shandians and Conis' father.

[jeremycards]

the thing about not deaths are than they make nosense to the story, its not like we're sadic people =S anyway what i still think is wrong is than some baddies can come back to take revenge to the places luffy saved after he leaves, besides the one i listed before there's wapol too, he surely survived -_-U and he could try to reclaim his kingdom again, same kuro, don krieg, arlong, etc. i think at least they should be in jail, or if they dont wanna be so violent killing them, then let the users of demon fruits drown, anyway bellmere's death was preety violent so i dont think they think about that a lot =S

one death i didnt liked, Kuina, im still hoping she's alive somehow >_< it just sucked! i mean, zoro could never beat her, she was even stronger than adult guys and she died in the lames't way of all one piece, i would be really glad if she reapears later explaining it was a farse and getting on Zoro =P it would be cool, because maybe she pretended her death to leave and train alone to prove she can be the strongest, who knows xD or maybe tashigi is Kuina with amnesia =S that should be cool too =P anyway i want Kuina alive dammit >.< ......its the one piece grand adventure fault =S i liked to use Kuina in that game

[Hitotsumami]

^ Maybe Kuina faked her death to give Zoro more inspiration. I mean, she knew herself that she could never become the best. She was a girl, and he was a guy.

Off topic.

Anyway, I got nothing else to say. o.o

[Jh1stgen]

You know what is very interesting? ... if Kuina lived today, she would be 21 ~ And at the same time Tashigi is 21 ... coincidence? :shifty

[jeremycards]

i really hope its like that =P or the fake death or kuina = Tashigi amnesic, anyway tashigi is preety lame with the sword compared to zoro, nothing like Kuina, but if she is amnesic it makes sense, i hope is something like that >.< it would be just soo nice to see Kuina reapearing T-T i can't imagine how happy Zoro could be

[Locard]

There's only one thing that prevents One Piece to become my favorite manga, surpassing Naruto.....

THE LACK OF DEATH

At least in Naruto , villains DIE

I can tolerate good guys never dying, but all the villains, even the more insignificants , surviving all the time, going to jail and appearing again pisses me off.
There are really evil and disgusting people, mass killers who deserve to die, there's no justice from heaven in One Piece?

Villains must die for crissake! specially if they mess up the life of main characters (Arlong, Spandam etc). Sorry Oda, but this is a great flaw imo.

[[Uchiha]Madara]

What did you expect? people in one piece aren't normal
Zoro can lift a building, cut through steel, can turn shockwaves that can cut through towers in mist.
Its the same for sanji and luffy.

Anyway the only thing that i hated was pell not dying.

lol, k they are abnormal as you say (what's true btw) and yet they almost die by one hit (Sanji and Ussop at least) what wasn't even 1mil. Later on Maxim arc he got hit by 30 or 60mil and still survived, isn't there any difference?

[jeremycards]

there's no justice from heaven in One Piece?

nah, Eneru wont give justice at all xD lol, u sound kinda sadic =p

you know whats fun? in teory, any character could die with a shot in the head xD even zoro, they allways dodge anyway, but just in teory a shot in the head could kill them =P except demon fruit's users

[HaremWarrior]

What do you mean No One Dies? Of course they do! Most of the bad guys that Luffy and all the others fought have been "killed". Arlong, Crocodile, Enel etc. Even some of the non villians died! Kuina, Bellamera, Docter-san (choppers sags). One Piece is more about fighting for your nakama and believing in your dreams. It is by far the BEST series I'v ever watch!

Hahahaha! Sorry, but you're only partly right.

Arlong: Alive. He was arrested by the Marines.
Crocodile: Alive. He was sent to the prison Impel Down.
Enel: Alive. He's on the moon.

And about those other characters you mentioned. They are flashback characters, and everyone knows that in flashbacks anyone can die and that is about the only time you can die.

I don't recall anything being said about Arlong being arrested in the manga.

And flashback's are far from the only time you can die, if you look at my previous posts along with many other posters in this thread, there's been plenty of people who've died outside of flashbacks.

[Senior_Superboy]

I think Oda mentioned in an SBS that Arlong was arrested. That's what I heard anyway.

[jeremycards]

people dead outside flashbacks: extras, bellamy, mr 11 thats all i think =S i think its a huge change since in dragon ball z all the people on the world died more than once xD

[Hitotsumami]

I think a priest might have died also. And Nero.

-The guy that bellamy killed is, indeed, a nobody
-Can we be sure that Bellamy is dead? we never saw the final blow or the corpse.
-I dont see Ms. monday dying

It seems that the only named villain who died was that priest.

Again, no one important.

[Code]

I could go on, but as I see, it would've been pointless to have done so. You might as well say no one is important but the main characters, and it's not too common for the main character to die in a shounen early on.

[omg laser pew pew!]

Well if people started falling down stairs then there might be more deaths

[omg laser pew pew!]

All of the priests died, I think. And that one huge guy that fought Robin... well, he probably died like a crazy beef.

One of them survived and went to the Blue Sea, the one that fought Chopper

The other survived (I'm 90% certain) since I think we saw them celebrating after Enel's defeat

[Hitotsumami]

The one who fought chopper is Gendatsu. I love him. ^_^

[hhallahh]

I think the lack of deaths really hurts the dramatic qualities of the series. No matter how close they make it, by this point in time, you know no one is really going to die. The Pell example was the most egregious... and from now on, there's no reason to believe that a death scene is real at all.

[Hoon ♥]

im on the episode hhallahh :S

he and igaram should have died :noworry

[Futagokage]

But is not something that can be changed at this height of the manga, let's say that Usopp dies in the next arc, in the most heroical (please, fill this gap with our imagination) way possible, being a true brave warrior of the sea. Even if the idea is appealing, many fans would be upset by the result.

Now change usopp foe Sanji or Robin to make a different effect...

[narutosushi]

well if someone dies it's going to be I bet at like the last 50 episodes of One Piece so it's going to be awhile.

[Hitotsumami]

im on the episode hhallahh :S

he and igaram should have died :noworry

I forgot all about Igaram. Yeah, he should have also died.

[Senior_Superboy]

Maybe Robin let him live, like she did with Luffy. Who knows. Maybe it was a diversion of hers. That's what I always thought. Because we all know she isn't a bad person.

[jeremycards]

true, the igram survival was a good thing because luffy said "im never gonna forgive her for that" but since he survived she could join the crew, instead, the one who should have died is conis father -_-

[Captain Pimp]

Pell is the major character that many people would want him to die...as a hero :D

[Locard]

Yup, cause Pell's resurrection was particulary fuckin retarded.

[Senior_Superboy]

It was a bad idea to keep Pell alive. I agree with Pip when he said that he should have just died as a hero. I wonder what happened after he saw his grave. Do you think he went back to the palace?

[Hoon ♥]

its for kids though right?

[Senior_Superboy]

Yeah, but does that even matter?

[Hoon ♥]

of coarse it does xD

have you seen kidsWB shows? villains dont die, theyre either fried, jailed, or blasted off into space :rotfl :nod

There's a difference between the US and Japan though; in Japan, people can die in kids series (which they do in ones like Naruto, One Piece (if only in flashbacks, D. Gray-Man, Death Note, 666 Satan ect. (all of which are/were published in the same magazine, Weekly Shonen Jump) Then there's ones like Fullmetal Alchemist, which isn't in the same magazine, but is targeted at the same age group).

[Hoon ♥]

isnt that because those are directed at adults also?

i mean, in US, which man would watch "cartoons" in his prime?
in Japan, its normal :nod right? :ninja

[Shiron]

Nope, just kids.

And from what I've heard, it's definitely wouldn't be normal for adults to watch series like Fullmetal Alchemist and D. Gray Man (at least no more normal than it would be for adults to watch cartoons here in the US).

[Hoon ♥]

well thats completely different from what i knew :S

OT: when does sogeking appear? :spaz

[Senior_Superboy]

He appears at the end of 257.

[Hoon ♥]

well this thread has become a spoiler :/

now i know nobody will die
kind of kills it for me :/

[Senior_Superboy]

Well, it's too be expected. We are discussing old episodes that were released quite some time ago. If you didn't want to be spoiled you should have just waited until you caught up.

I was thinking: Wow, they finally killed off a character, even if it is a minor one.

This guy was holding a bomb with a 5km destructive radius when it went off. Assuming it was set to detonate at ground level, that's a 1.2 megaton nuclear warhead. He's fricking GONE.

But no, he's still alive later, wow, lol. What the hell.

No wonder Luffy's so strong, he knows he's immortal.

[Masaki]

Blue!!!!!!

I would have thought better of you. There's a thread with almost this exact same name somewhere.

And an important "character" "dies" later on.

[Nice Gai]

You need to see all the people who survived in the Skypeiea arc. Now that was ridiculous.

[Geg]

lol, are you watching through OP for the first time, Blue? Expect to feel the same way multiple times during the Skypiea arc.

But Pell's survival was still the worst of the worst.

[Kayo]

Chill out, One Piece is an anime ment to be relaxing and funny. It's nothing serious if you haven't noticed. Luffy throws people km's away with one punch and all that stuff so I don't really care if nobody dies (some do) because it's a comedy anime.

[Hype]

I never noticed

Its a common theme for One Piece one of the few shiity points of the manga but the pro's far out weigh the negatives so its all good.

Oda just seems to like it that way hes very adament about Luffy not killing anyone he fights

[rockst☆r sin]

We even have a character that even after death, is very much alive thanks to a DF. I'm not complaining though since this is OP, but if this was another story I would be bored of the outcome all the time.

[Hype]

I dont mind it if the bad guys dont die as it gives them a chance to exact revenge aka Alvida and Buggy

Hell I would kill to see Croc come back at some point

Pell should be dead end of story though

[Kevintju]

That what-was-his-name-again-eagle-guy was too minor a character to deserve a heroish death.

Tom
Gol D. Roger (maybe not dead for plothole)

Worse is that girls father in skypea that got blasted by enels beam of doom that evaporates earth.

he then comes back with not even a scratch somehow.


Enel said he killed all his helpers after they finished his boat thing, in the end they all survived.

[Amatsu]

Pell should have died. Sorry, with the intensity of the flashbacks and some of the current moments, it takes out a lot of the impact when you know that nobody will die.

By that logic Gandalf should have stayed dead in fellowship of the ring then.

Seriously who cares? It's a friggin' anime! Just because Pell lived it doesn't ruin the experience for me. I still enjoy the story and him being alive didn't take away the emotional impact I felt when he "died"

[Peter Griffin]

I hate it when people complain about this. IMO, the fact that noone dies in One Piece adds to the overwhelming charm of the series. Seriously. It's like it's saying: "Yeah, this is a cartoon. So what?"

Umm...What do you think?:)

I'd say it is a good thing. Like you said, it is a cartoon. Cartoon characters shouldn't die. It's also a comedy, probably geared toward childern more than adults.

Plus they don't have to worry about bringing characters back to life with fans go nuts over their deaths.

[Broleta]

Oda sucks too much to let his characters die

Yeah he sucks so much he's won several prestigious manga awards, he's won a fucking Tezuka! And a volume of his manga is the highest selling graphic novel in Japan of all time.

I think it's sheer greatness how One Piece can be so great and not rely on the impact of killing characters.

Ohm and Shura both died no? I know Gedatsu had his little cover story for a while but I didn't remember ever seeing either of those 2 again.
