Favorite character?

[Terracosmo]

Topic. Discuss. Please put spoiler warnings if your favorite character is a manga one
(but only if you go in-depth, no use putting spoilers for mere names)

I'm a long-time Sanji fan, because he has the same haircut as me and the same IRL demeanor when it comes to how he treats the opposite sex (though I'm not as extreme, hopefully). Also, I share his cooking interest with the exception that my food sucks... but yeah, it's fun to cook. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img] Lately it was revealed that he hates spiders too, which is another trait I share with him... I have extreme phobia for those things. Must be destiny.

I'm a big fan of Ace as well. Hilarious and insanely strong. I like how he mirrors Luffy yet is so similar to him.

There are so many minor characters in One Piece that are great and should get more screentime.
In fact, there are so many that I have a hard time namedropping them.

Your turn.

i like so many so i'll just make a list in ordor of who i like the most and who i like the least

1 Luffy - funniest character ever in any anime without a doubt my most favorite one piece character
2 Zoro/Sanji/Ace/Shanks they are just badass
3. Usopp/Chopper also funny as hell
4 Captain Buggy/Robin/Smoker i just like them
5 Nami never really liked her much but she isn't that bad
6 Vivi never liked her could've died for all i care

there are lots of other characters but they are either not worth mentioning or i just don't like them enough or hate them enough to say anything about them

[elmojo]

ussopp
mr 2 bon clay sama
and... maa....maaa...maaaaaaah~ IGARAM!
karou
shanks /luffy

are my fav chars in no particular order

[Masamune]

favorite main character = Zoro.

Favorite non main character = Shanks

Favorite Villain = Crocodile. (I found him to be one the best villains ever to be in a series)

[kAi]

I'm a big fan of Crocodile, and Luffy is cool.

[Munsu]

Nico Robin, enough said

[Aeon]

Nami, Zoro and Robin for the main characters.

Ace, Pell, and Vivi for the non main characters.

[elmojo]

forgot to add jango and buggy

i dunno one piece has too many good chars


the only char i dont like is coby, eww

[Hellraiser]

Luffy for main character. He's just so silly.

Bon Clay because his fighting style rocks and he's man enough to be a ballerina.

And then there's Eneru and Franky which I won't go in-depth about.

[tensai]

im a fan of franky, hes too cool

out of the one piece crew, i like luffy because hes just so carefree and chopper because hes just too gullable

most of the characters in one piece have their own special thing about them that makes it hard to choose whose your favorite

[Kaigi-san]

I just started watching... finished ep 20, so far i like zoro - cuz he pwns w/ swords and i like swords lol. Nami is funny - she hates pirates and likes oranges and money (and is also the few ppl w/ common sense. Luffy is funny... but a little goofy, and Sanji seems cool with is breakdance style fighting tho ive just met him so i really dont know too much about him.

[Phoenix20578]

Its a tie between Ace(who has the best devil fruit power ever!) and Chopper, just because he has the best expressions.

Heh, Sanji and Sasuke having a breakdancing battle!!

Anyway, my favorite character is Zoro.

Ace, Smoker, Mihawk, and Dragon are also cool.

Nami is....well Nami. You just can't not like her.

Im a big Zoro fan, he is just a bad ass, same with Ace. When it comes to comedy you can't go wrong with Usopp and Chopper. Usopp makes me cry sometimes his parts are so damn funny. Nami is by far the best female character in all of anime in my opinion. Basically everyone in One Piece is great in different ways. Only Characters I didn't care for were Coby and the son of the Marine with the iron jaw, both of the were worthless.

Zoro: "Luffy, If you get yourself killed, I'll kill you..." His constant death threats on Luffy are hilarious

Coby and Morgan only? What, you liked Helmeppo, that spoiled brat of Morgan's? I hated him more than any other character, he's just so annoying.

Oh, and "USOPP HAMMER! USOPP HAMMER! USOPP HAMMER! USOPP HAMMER! USOPP RUUUUBERBAND! USOPP HAMMER! ...." Love it.

[Jadugar]

I am surprised that after taking so many beatings, Ussop's nose is still intact.

Oh, and "USOPP HAMMER! USOPP HAMMER! USOPP HAMMER! USOPP HAMMER! USOPP RUUUUBERBAND! USOPP HAMMER! ...." Love it.

CAPTAIN USSOP.

Love that phrase and the way he says it.

[6Zabuza9]

Captain Smoker is im favourite. cuz he kicks ass [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

[mongoooo]

Perhaps a bit off-topic, but I just finished the Alabasta Arch, and I am overjoied to see that Vivi is finally gone! God I hate her! All she just is whining, sobbing and screaming her head off! And don't give me that: "but Mongoooo, she has been through alot" - thats not the point. They have all been through alot of bad stuff, and yes, some of them cried too, but there has to be some limits! Vivi cried in allmost every episode, she had no skills whatsoever, she was generally uncool and depressing, and the last 20 eps of the arc, I just sat hoping thet Crocodile killed her off allready...

But... this is just my personal oppinion.

As for fav character, Luffy tops my list, then Usopp (I allways like these kinds of cahacters), Zoro, Sanji, and then chopper (allthough I suspect I will like him more later, him being quite new to the team and all). Nami is on my last spot for now, she is ok, but I like the others a bit more...

[Kraco]

She was a desperate princess. Not an action hero. She had a couple of tricks she learned from who knows where, and that were certainly more than most princesses would ever have (or need for that matter). But in the end she was just a hime-sama raised in a palace in the middle of all the comforts money can buy and even some that it can't like a doting dad and servants.

While I understand what you meant by her being pretty useless, it didn't end up bothering me for some reason. Perhaps because I did accept her indentity. And, well, the crew certainly could use another good looking girl...

Zoro is my favorite because I like single-minded, fateful characters who know what they are doing and what they want, and aren't afraid to cross the line between good and bad sometimes. However, a character like Zoro couln't be the main character in a series like this. It absolutely needs to be a person like Luffy, who goes here and there, has clear morals, and sticks his nose where it doesn't belong (or Usopp's nose if a longer one is needed).

But like has been said, One Piece has excellent characters all in all. Many great villains included.

Man, how do you pick a favorite character amongst an entire series full of great characters! I have to agree that Oda has really created depth to each character making them unique. With that said, so standouts to me:
Hawkeyes: Can't wait to see the second meet up with Zoro. His whole demeanor is awesome.
Franky: Two words: ULTIMATE DEFENSE...nuff said.
Aokiji: Spoiler

From the Straw Hats:
Zoro: As a swordsman character, Oda has definately made him stand apart from other anime/manga swordsman with the santoryu (3 sword) style.
Soge King: Sniper king from sharpshooter island...love the intro and like how he has changed the character (and voice).
