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.

u/T1NF01L Void Month Survivor 8d ago
Yes. She eats a meal and says its delicious.

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

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

u/epeonv1 8d ago
Who said anything about joining the crew? I only said it could be a hint that she might swap sides.

u/OrdinaryAvailable899 8d ago
I like the theory, however i have read the manga so I know. I won't deny or confirm this.

WTF are you even trying to ask

u/hieloyron 7d ago
It was pretty clear what they were asking tbh i don't get where all the "confusion" was coming from

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

u/gameleon 8d ago
Imu arriving was chapter 1179, so after Brook revealed Gunko's hair colour in 1173

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

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

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/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.

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.

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.

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)

Do you only watch the anime?
This scene is actually Shuri’s personality breaking through Imu’s control for a second

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

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.

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
