Oda’s utilization of Nami in One Piece - Chapter 1129 truly highlights why the dude is a cut above so many other mangaka and particularly in the realm of Shonen manga

One Piece 1129 Manga Spoilers Below:

Coming off of JJK, MHA & Demon Slayer, I’m frustrated by how despite their popularity the 3 series have female characters that too often are underutilized and sidelined. So many lesser authors might have similarly let Nami just drift through the story with minimal development.

Oda however chooses to reassure readers that Nami isn’t a push over nor simple eye candy but rather is a member of a pirate emperor’s crew with the chops to prove it. In one chapter she highlights her incredible navigational skill that commits any map to memory & then goes on to use Zeus, her Clima-Tact & her Weather Arts to absolutely brutalize an enemy giant.

Nami may be a proud member of the Straw Hats’ Coward Trio but Oda always takes opportunities to show that that moniker doesn’t make them weak or in any way less valuable members of the crew.

The Speech Pattern Notice

In the Japanese language, his speech pattern is similar to the Wano samurai. But again that's lost in translation here.

Hello! In Chapter 1129, Sanji says the false sun god “sounds a bit like a samurai” - can you expand on what this means?

yeah! it's pretty funny. he does adopt a lot of the same archaic vocal affectations that the wano characters use, although he's pretty clearly putting them on in a way that's not super natural to him.

he uses 拙者/sessha, the same humble samurai-specific personal pronoun used by momo, kin and kiku, among others, and ends some of his sentences with でござる/de gozaru, which is likewise characteristic of the old-fashioned japanese used by the wano characters. he uses the archaic 'you' pronouns おぬし/onushi (for hajrudin and the cat) and うぬ/unu (for everybody else).

(unu is also fairly disrespectful, and i'm pretty sure the only character i've seen use it before in manga is power from chainsaw man, who's specifically noted to talk like she does because she's an idiot trying to sound smart and important. so that's also the vibe i'm getting from this guy.)

the reason i say it seems put on is because he slips in and out of it, in particular when he's caught off guard at the start, where he starts with what's clearly going to be ウチのペット/uchi no petto ('my pets!') before correcting to 我が僕達/wa ga shimobe-tachi ('my servants!'). the first phrase is a way more casual and normal way of speaking, while the word choices in the latter are a lot more archaic.

She's Adorable!!!

[normalaboutstories]

I think we all need to appreciate Nami casually one-shotting a giant more. There's not as much focus on her arc of becoming a competent fighter as, say, Usopp's, because she doesn't really care about it that much, but she's come so so far. In the beginning she would say she couldn't fight. She ran away from random mooks. Now she refers to her strength as a natural disaster. And she's completely right. <3

Rodo Is Racist

It's interesting he still thinks they are interesting to observe, but he still treats them very much lesser throughout all of this.

[raconteur-wanpi]

I don't know if it's an accurate enough assessment to warrant another chapter review, and it's probably the result of my Usopp brainrot again, but I feel like Rodo's obsession with storytelling, fables and pretending/roleplaying is already setting him up as a contrast to Usopp, right? Forcing all those humans to play out a false tale in his little diorama and everything.

Usopp is himself someone who's obsessed with exciting made-up tales, but he's someone who actually went to live them out, and he doesn't force or drag other people into it. But in 1129 we see Rodo, essentially a kinda creepy and obsessed DnD / living "doll" collector / role-playing nerd, speaking about the plights of real people as if they're grand stories, while they happen. A twisted version of the teller of fables, right? I'm probably reading too much into it but I'll take every chance to do that when we're in the Elbaf arc of all places.
