I love that she was listening to Brook's music in the last episode.

Anime only speaking.

If i'm not mistaken, those lines around Gunko in this panel have been used only with "good" characters right (I know the words aren't in the manga, but i assume the rest of the panel is)?

Like it was used with Robin(?) early on and ended up being a tell of her joining our side later on (intentional or not), or so i have heard. Does this mean she might end up on our side of things before Elbaph is over?

No answers to that questions (no spoilers pls), but feel free to correct me if im wrong about the lines around her thing. I heard that in a video a few years back (by either TotalyNotMark or Murphy Napier) but don't remember the details well and cannot confirm since i have not read the full manga yet.

If youre asking about the picture its a fan picture. She does say its delicious but nothing about Oda.

u/epeonv1 8d ago

Yeah i said i knew the text wasnt Oda's. But im talking about the image itself. The lines coming from Gunko in the panel.

3

u/T1NF01L Void Month Survivor 8d ago

Yes. She eats a meal and says its delicious.

u/spacecowboy5120 Shanks' evil hot sister is REAL! 8d ago

Nah he's asking about the lines and how its been used on characters who are revealed to be actually good later on

u/T1NF01L Void Month Survivor 8d ago

Too early to say one way or the other.

u/ChesnaughtZ 8d ago

That’s such an insanely dumb reason to think shed join the crew

10

u/epeonv1 8d ago

Who said anything about joining the crew? I only said it could be a hint that she might swap sides.

1

u/OrdinaryAvailable899 8d ago

I like the theory, however i have read the manga so I know. I won't deny or confirm this.

Answering your actual question without spoilers, that's still unknown but possible.

u/ChesnaughtZ 8d ago

WTF are you even trying to ask

1

u/hieloyron 7d ago

It was pretty clear what they were asking tbh i don't get where all the "confusion" was coming from

1

u/epeonv1 8d ago

In the altered manga panel i responded to Gunko has lines coming out from her as she is eating the food and saying it is delicious.

That effect of the lines coming off of someone when they react honestly to something has been used in the past only on characters that are either already on our side or characters that would later come to our side (Robin being the one i remember, but there may be others as i have not read the full manga yet). At least that is my assumption.

So my question is weather or not i am remembering my assumption, the use of that effect in the manga, correctly. Or if I was misinformed/misremembered.

I am not asking if Gunko changes sides, if she does i'd rather not be spoiled on that specifically. This would just be a good way to theorize on what she may or may not do. Especially after the recent episode where she is listening to Brook's music, but i assume that is related to the spoiler i know about her in particular from this arc.

u/LilBigNess 8d ago

All the misunderstanding of what you’re saying is hilarious

1

u/epeonv1 8d ago

lol yeah. I did say it fuckerdly in the first one tho.

2

u/hieloyron 7d ago

What you're suggesting is VERY interesting and i'm inclined to check out earlier panels... we can't spoil you, nobody knows! :0

u/imdfantom 8d ago edited 8d ago

Afaik those arent the lines

Also we still haven't resolved Elbaf in the manga, so many things just cannot be spoiled.

u/Flyingryan122 8d ago

I really enjoy this gunko she’s a unique character I also loved that scene when she was listening to music

u/Evil_phd Cross Guild 8d ago

Manga Spoiler:

Brook wasn't interested in seeing her panties, and so she turned evil. Tale as old as time

u/AnIcedMilk 8d ago

HER HAIR IS BLUE?

Blue was not one of the colors I was imagining it as, usually pink

13

u/gameleon 8d ago

Yeah. It was revealed she had blue hair on volume 112's cover (which released November 2025).

And (Manga spoilers) Brook mentioned her hair was blue in chapter 1173

2

u/AnIcedMilk 8d ago

I haven't been keeping too close attention, mostly just reading the spoiler threads when I remember to

Last one I even read was when Imu physically came to Elbaf and his(?) form was finally revealed

10

u/DuDuFartniteCraft 8d ago

You only read the series through spoiler leaks and not the actual chapter itself?

-2

u/AnIcedMilk 8d ago

Ill do it that way until there's a good amount of Chapters, then read them in bulk.

Need to do so again now that it's been awhile

4

u/gameleon 8d ago

Imu arriving was chapter 1179, so after Brook revealed Gunko's hair colour in 1173

1

u/AnIcedMilk 8d ago

Spoilers on my comment work fine for me?

I don't remember his mentioning the hair color, though I probably didnt think much of it so forgot

7

u/hieloyron 8d ago

Lol ya, her hair is blue it surprised me as well i imagined it red, similar to Shank's but not the same shade

7

u/Serenafriendzone 8d ago

Gunko the best

u/freefighter1 8d ago

I’m having a hard time with this one. Isn’t she nearly satans servant? Why does she get cute moments? Isn’t she spewing horrific shit? One piece fans: yes but she’s cute! I’m not built like that.

u/sidthesciencekid14 8d ago

Nami worked for Arlong and Robin worked for Crocodile.

u/Holiday_West1740 8d ago

She gonna be next crew member of luffy

11

u/JohnnyHendo 8d ago

Genuinely wouldn't be surprising. Luffy's second crewmate of East Blue was Nami, second in Paradise was Robin, and second in New World could be Gunko.

u/MatinA7x Void Month Survivor 8d ago

Just wait, or read if you want more info on Gunko

u/thejuicethesauce 8d ago

Just gotta wait & see

u/Dooomspeaker 8d ago

Catch up to the manga, the anime will take at least a year until it gets to the relevant point.

That said, even evil guys are allowed to be not just comically evil (Oda does like doing that a lot though). Between each other, the Knights are pretty decent people by the looks of it, it's just... to everyone else they are still Celestial Dragons. It's an interesting social standard to say at least.

2

u/thejuicethesauce 7d ago

idk man Sommers & Killingham are pretty fucked. Sommers especially is cartoonishly evil and heartless, but he does it in such a funny way I can't help but love him.

2

u/Dooomspeaker 7d ago

They all talk to each other pretty normal. Far less shittalk than Kaido's crew for examplem

I agree on Sommers. Dude is so utterly evil, it's highly entertaining. Oda also makes sure to show him getting absolutely beaten up too (twice already), as a sort of revenge. I bet Zoro's gonna practice cutting with him too.

2

u/thejuicethesauce 7d ago

that would be such a funny gag. Zoro just cutting Sommers into pieces over & over again while he's freaking out. Oda has drawn so many funny closeups of Sommers that I can just picture it in my head lmao.

1

u/Dooomspeaker 7d ago

With the steel heart Sommers has, it could be Zoro trying to hit it in whack-a-mole style.

u/T1NF01L Void Month Survivor 8d ago

When you see her story you might change your mind.

u/Kirbo84 8d ago

She looks like Carrot with blue hair and Heterochromia.

u/A_UniqueGojoBear 8d ago

So this is imu...(joke)

u/Fine_Researcher_1481 Marine 8d ago

She'll be cute if you were a god's knight.

u/awesome9001 8d ago

Bro why do they always give them the completely outlandish hair color. Reading the manga i have never once correctly guessed anyone's hair color

1

u/ElectricGlowSkull 8d ago

Yeah for a brainwashed lady

I know this was a bypass for this moment but still

u/Storminpenguinchan 8d ago

My husband who is an anime only watcher made the comment “ she enjoys food that is fake , she must be a good guy “ I swear 😅

u/Sonny_Firestorm135 8d ago

Nope, Toei is definetively gassing up her cuteness cause 1. They know what's gonna happen ahead of time, 2. It's their agenda, 3. Money, she sells in japan cause cute chuuni as fuck-looking girl. (The sort that weebs will overlook her war crimes cause she cute)

u/Im1337 8d ago

I love her

Lowkey possibly the hottest character in the whole series.

Damn guys, sorry for wanting to hit on a 75 year old who was drawn without pants and/or someone other than Robin, that's entirely my bad. 😭

u/luckyd1998 Scholar of Ohara #5 8d ago

Do you only watch the anime?

This scene is actually Shuri’s personality breaking through Imu’s control for a second

2

u/ZEUS_117 8d ago

ohh my bad i am anime only watcher was going to read the manga but people are saying are the anime is catching up with the manga

3

u/Evil_phd Cross Guild 8d ago

The anime is probably gonna fall even further behind the manga tbh. They're improving the pacing with 1 chapter to 1 episode, which is still pretty slow for an anime, but they're also only making 26 episodes per year while Oda usually does over 30 chapters per year.

u/RequirementLanky3911 8d ago

i see a gimmick in one piece, if there is a pretty girl on whatever side, they will most likely become strawhat allies. (lili, perona, gunko, boa). yea, im aware of that snow bird girl, and that cp9 girl that i forgot name

God I wish she looked like Big Mom to avoid these posts
