one piece-luffy

luffy smiling with a badass bounty - its a picture of luffy, being as carefree as ever, yet having a very very respectable bounty, ridiculous achievement over a short period of his adventure, and i believe it is because of his one directional attitude, what ever he says he will stick by it. his character is really impressive, the person that worked on this character must have had a good childhood freind to relate him to.

is luffy one of the most addicting characters ever? i mean i just cant hate him, he is probably one of the best characters ever created, in anime and outside of anime. HE is a leader yet very stupid, very narcissistic and greedy yet will always be there to help a friend, or help random people he meets on his journey. I find him very inspirational as a character, i mean he follows his dreams, works for his dreams, but does not tend to step on peoples hands to get on top for his dream, very outgoing, simple, and pretty much only has 1 direction for his lifetyle with all his "idiot" style, he is still able to make people respect him, he's definetly some1 i'd have a beer with lmao What do you guys think? is he a solid character created or what, do you guys have favourite characters?

Whenever I think of Luffy,I can't help laughing!He is a crazy,funny,honest guy,and he is also a great dreamer who is brave enough to realize his dream.I appreciate his simpleness and straightforwardness.He is a good captain and a great friend.

He is very honest isn't he? He seems to say whatever is in his mind and do whatever he feels like. He acts as if, he owns everything, and takes action without hesitation. My guess is perhaps because he grew up with a lot of privileges VIA his grandfather. Or perhaps he grew up the way he is due to the influence of his grandfather and how he was treated by his grandfather. Thanks for the post.

I envy him a lot.Most of us have to think twice before we act,and we seem to care too much about how people look at us.But Luffy?What he says is"who cares"and he just do it.

I love Luffy too.. he's one of the best shonen main characters ever created. However, personally, my favorite character from One Piece is Zoro because he's too cool and a real badass!~ P.S I'm not sure if you read the manga but Luffy's bounty is even more badass now!~

Ha yea, his bounty is even more badass. Zoro is Badass too. He has this aura about him when he steps up on the scene. Though if I had to set up the bounty, i didn't like how he jumped from 100 million to 300 million in a short amount of episodes, and stays approximately 300 million for a long time. If they had shorter increments they may have had a more impact, though that giant jump is a big impact already. lol

I hooked with One Piece anime show and Luffy is my most favorite character in it. He seems stupid enough, but he is awesome. I love enjoy my self with it's great action, adventure and fights in One Piece episodes. Last episode with which i gonna enjoy myself at http://onepieceseries.com/ was 516, which was totally awesome. At the time of enjoy the episode, i had hope it will be end of One piece anime. But now i am excited for upcoming episode 517, which is getting out on tomorrow Night.

Ye! The animated series are getting more and more exciting, especially with the new arc coming up. Though I really hoped that they would show training, but at the same time I thought it would be long and boring, so it might be best to just show them all improves with a little flashback of their training.

I don't know if you had seen this before but I think you're going to like this because Luffy is your favorite character. He is able to find the most powerful -Anime character in existence. Yes I'm talking about son Goku from Dragon Ball Z. I think you're going to enjoy this video like many one piece fans do. This video clip is from a cross over video game known as battle arena d.o.n. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTfRjciJEVY

ha ha, i have never heard of that game but now i really have to look for it, it looks really fun, sadly i'm awful at these types of arcade games. anyways, i agree its really hard to say which character is considered strongest, because each one has their own abilities and attributes. ha even pokemons are stronger than many characters. But, maybe if we relate the types of anime's like anime's that have ghosts, samurai's, ninja's etc. like yuyu hakusho characters vs bleach charactes, both are really closely related especially when there is that issue where bleach was held back on release since yuyu hakusho did not finish yet

That game is actually easy to play so there is a huge chance you're going to enjoy it it's not as technical as street fighter in mortal Kombat.luffy it's really fun to play with in that game. I think what I love about luffy as a character is the simplicity of his design and his large teeth. In my country weird as it may sound a woman is her voice actor but she is able to pull off Monkey D luffy's attitude which is a cool pirate I think the most powerful character in the face of Anime Brulee from dragon ball is the most powerful of them all. But when it comes to all fiction the most powerful character is from American comic books. Two comes into my mind, Galactus Who eats planets to survive and dark phoenix, she eats Planets and stars as food.

One piece is my favorite manga of all time next to HunterxHunter. I love luffy because it isn't exactly an overwhleming power, but you can see his progression. He has the traits that want to motivate a reader. He will do anything to protect his friends and he aims to be stronger to do so. He might be dumb, but that is what adds to the comical part of the manga. My favorite parts are the fight scenes especially seeing how he always struggles, but finally winning at the end, but with one exceptional loss. My next favorite character would be Whitebeard even though you don't really see him much in the manga. He is someone you would look up to. He does everything in his power to protect others no matter who they are such as the citizens of Ryyuga palace. Great story line that seems like it won't end until I am out of college.

Wow right on the button, amazing input. I think the pirate crews in one piece really potray the treasure of friendship, especially with the captain, like you mentioned whitebeard. It seems 'Nakama' is very important and it make sense because, a crew is weak if they do not have strong bonds with each other. Thanks for the input

Yes, Luffy is the best character ever. He is very funny, very strong, he sometimes makes me cry in some fight scenes when he doesn't have any more strength but will still fight in the end. One Piece is the best Anime ever created. At first, I did not like it, the first episodes were not likeable. But I continued watching it anyway becasue my brother told me it's really good. Good thing I followed his advice. It's my all time favorite now. Anime I love all the characters, Zorro is so cute, Ussup is funny (did I spell his name right?) Nami is funny too, Chopper is so cute and a crybaby. One Piece doe not have a boring episode even if they already have hundreds of episode. :)

Agreed! Even their filler episodes are quite amazing. People compare the character is similar to naruto or goku, but I gave it some thought and even there are similarities, there are major differences. Goku and Naruto are considered the strongest in there respective anime, whether it is because Goku is a Saiyan and Naruto has the tailed beast, others in there anime always know they are strong. Luffy on the other hand is strong, but he does not have arguable the "strongest" ability in the anime. With respect to his crew, he is strong and they rely on him. But his character was not designed to be expected strong due to his ability, rather he is someone who becomes stronger because of his dedication. I also agree, each character in luffy's crew is somebody very interesting and will be connected to the audience if anything were to happen to them.

Yes naruto is a great character indeed. For me, my viewpoint of the show naruto, is its epicness in their action scenes, along with their animations. But for some reason though the action scene in one piece is not as epic as naruto's its still very exciting in some cases. But like as mentioned above the show one piece is really addicting not because of the story line but, well in my case, "i wonder what luffy will do next, just luffy i dont care about anyone else in the story." lol, but thanks for the reply and yes naruto is a great anime too
