#kizaru #onepiece #anime - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน
This is a great video. Kizaru is light but in reality he is a shadow of nothingness. A normal person can’t be impartial to everything they would feel some emotion in some way. This reminds me of kanjuro who was nothingness but labeled it as an act and died as an actor but in kizarus case he doesn’t have anything to label his actions, his resolve just doesn’t exist as well as his personality. A normal person can’t be this way only a psychopath would share similar attributes.
ok
I like the idea that he wants to give fate a chance, and holds a carefree attitude with no responsibility for his actions - showing that if he were to start following a specific ideology he would probably be one of the most dangerous people in the series
Being normal doesn't exist in this world
@@dragonsmoke16418 ummm look up the definition of normal and get back to me
@@neinja66469 normal doesn't exist in this world
"What do you feel when you pull the trigger, and take a life?"
Aokiji: "The weight of a life lost."
Akainu: "The satisfaction that justice has been carried out."
Kizaru: "Recoil."
DAMN. That's a horrifying line. Did you make that up or is it from something?
@@chillworksdev4145 Eh, partially. I remember there was this soldier being interviewed, and was asked what the first thing he felt when pulling the trigger to kill an enemy. He simply replied recoil. I can't remember the source, unfortunately.
I just added the parts of the other admirals. Kinda fits them, don't you think?
@@chillworksdev4145 it is a quote from Simo hayha, the white death, a finish sniper during the winter war against Russia.
This could be the single most terrifying line I have ever read
@@diegom6217 I didn't quite remember how the question was phrased in that interview. Was I close?
I always felt like kizaru is stronger than he lets on. Especially when he volunteered to go after kiado. He might be the "unclear" fleet admiral who's there to make sure the fleet admiral does his job.
Truh like even the mad dog akainu did not want to jump into the fighg but kizaru who is always lazy just said aight want me to deal with it like thats scary pl mosly right it off as a joke but why would oda make that scene a joke also akainu did not stop him cuz of kaido and big mom but the strenght of wano samurai so for me i take it as akainu who is well aware of yonkou strenght had no problem leaving kizaru deal with both but was only not sure of the samurai strenght wich is a valid reason like imagine a army of oden's
For me i think that kizaru is akainu muscle seing how in these crime family type of film there is always the muscle who take care of physical stuff but kizaru seems like he only step up when its world changing shit like BM kaido aliance if not dud just vibing
@@luckywoo2120 akainu cant just go to wano hes the fleet admiral
@@roronoavinsmoke8725 but the reason why akainu was hesitating was cuz of the unknown strenght of the samurai not kaido or big mom
I used to think he'd go to Wano and fight Kaido but that he'd loose to hype Kaido up
@@luckywoo2120 ahhahaha the same samurai that kaido foolded in base stop akainu know kaido would kill kizaru that exscuse about samurai was nosense
The question of "now have you ever been kicked at the speed of light", should've made it clear Kizaru was terrifying in my opinion
Yeah that line made him my favorite Admiral instantly.
@@ridgefrost grow up
@@Dr.HooWho grows up
@@ridgefrost he literally said tat in the vdeo you fucking dimwitt stfu and go squander reddit with that BS
I haven't finished op so idk how far the scalings go but when I think about it isn't he basically a planet buster tho?? Even if it kills him.
An impact from an object going at ftl...
Honestly I feel like Kizaru is mostly bored. His devilfruit itself is busted, and I really feel like his haki is at least on par with rest of the Admirals.
In my opinion Kizaru is doing same thing as someone who just broke the game and feels basically untouchable: does whatever he needs to, but also gives opponent as much opportunity to stay on battlefield as possible. Killing Luffy would be boring, but destroying the key might be interesting. What he'll do next now? Ace can't escape with handcuffs on either way, so why bother.
He is carefree on purpose. He can't be bothered to remember which denden mushi does what. He won't even bother trying to dodge Apoo's attack because it's not like it'll do anything, so why not listen to weird music man?
He'll do what he's told, but he'll half ass it on purpose so hard, everyone will be able to tell he doesn't care. And if he'll manage to fail his task somehow? Tough luck, next time won't be so fortunate.
Remember, strawhats survived Sabody only because Kuma scattered them all over the world. If they tried to run away in conventional method, I doubt they would be so fortunate. Other supernovas escaped because they weren't the targets, Luffy was.
That emotional moment of Strawhats poofing was in fact a moment of them being saved.
Great comment, wish I could pin multiple of these. 💯
Yes, you perfectly described Kizaru's character.
Most ppl don't understand this unfortunately and then they say stuff like Rayleigh is stronger than him just because Kizaru didn't do anything against him.
But the reason Kizaru didn't do anything to Rayleigh is because Rayleigh is at a level of power where Kizaru can't simply no diff him but actually has to put in some work and he just couldn't be arsed to do that in that situation.
@@Fex97 also, I am hesitant to even scale Kizaru, as I would argue we haven't really seen him fight.
Neither Kizaru, nor Rayleigh were going at it all out, as Rayleigh just wanted to keep Kizaru occupied, and Kizaru wanted to have something interesting to do while he was getting rid of some riffraff pirates that can't even use haki at that point. He could afford few hours of sparring with dark king, why not.
Hell, I don't think that neither of them even used any named techniques in that fight, I don't know why people use it to measure both of the characters. This was just a harmless test of strength than proper fight. It was supposed to remind us that Admirals are still a thing, and they're still waaaay out of the reach for strawhats, as it'll take someone worthy of being pirate King's crewmate to even keep one busy.
Later Marineford shown us that Admirals are strong but not untouchable.
This fight from meta point of view was supposed to hype both characters, not one.

@@nihili4196 exactly, he was literally sleeping the whole time, like cmon. Kizaru I know you don't need to charge up that light beam to kill zoro lmao 😂😂 and people sayin rayleigh actually hurt him
Kizaru plays as a pawn of fate: He can kill you at the speed of light but he'll slowly charge his attacks so if your fate is to survive, someone or something will save you from him, and if not, he'll kill you
@@ridgefrost i mean he literally mentions ohara
Yea that’s what i got. He’s a guy who just lets fate decide things. He knows he’s not a god but he does know he’s damn powerful. I feel like his literal philosophy is do as least as possible and be as comfortable as possible. I’d whatever feels good in the moment, but he doesn’t just go after every dopamine rush. He’s “Like a god” poking around and being curious about the weird world he’s in.
Further proven by the fact he shot ace's key and not Luffy himself
I mean. . . . . . Whitebeard could have showed up to marineford and sunk it, declared victory. Then cleaned up the survivors
Whitebeard used title waves as terrain elevation and keeping a battlefield to recover Ace.
All the epic warriors could have ended the fight differently
But it would have affected the future
If Luffy didn't suffer at Marineford, he would still be happy-go-lucky. He wouldn't understand the danger his crew is up against, he would lose more then his heart after Marineford
@donovanulrich348 and the fact whiteboard couldn't do it, since he could hurt or kill his fellow Ally's or innocent people, causing more harm than good and also the fact that most of the warlords could easily save themselves incase the ground was to be shattered (Kuma can teleport away or teleport anyone important away, doflamigo can web away, crocodile can just fly, mihawk can just do mihawk things and levitate with his sword skills probably idk)
I totally agree. Kizaru is a beast. He always just plays around with his victims. But what I also noticed is his curious nature. He often gets distracted because if it and observe the situation. He let people attack him or attack them in a small mather to understand their abilities. Or that is at least how I view it.
He's not reckless and wants to know what he's up against. The art of war in a curious but not stupid mind.
He's fast but patient.
@@ridgefrost Dude, shut up already. Spammer.
he enjoys to fight, life might get boring for him if he goes killing everyone at the speed of light with no hesitation
Yep. Totally agree. Kizaru is dangerous. Bc it’s always those ones that are chill in the midst of danger that are powerful.
It's just how his own DV makes him.. it affects his personality.. it has nothing to do with him being scary or holding back etc..
Source: trust me bro
@@decomposedcorpse5186 idk how that applys here but alr
@@DiaNne31 Devil fruits affecting your personality hasn't been confirmed.
@@decomposedcorpse5186 when did he say df affects his personality, he said that his personality is chill, making him deadly as those who are calm in battle are most deadly, nothing to do with df
The reason Kizaru was such terrifying was due to him acting like a robot, follow the command without hesitations. Not only that, he will weakened his enemy to near death and let them think second chances is given, but destroy them eventually. But just be lucky that marines doesnt harmed the unarmed, or else this guy can be deadlier than kaidou.
Well I mean. May wanna hold off on the whole not harming the unarmed thing.
More than a few islands would beg to differ.
Deadlier than Mihawk?
I'd say he's for sure deadlier than kaido. Kaido gave the supernovas a chance to test their strength and for his own personal enjoyment. Had they all shown up and kizaru was there instead, it's a coinflip whether or not he would've just went for the kill immediately, or at least immediately incapacitated them. No one would've been able to react to it either.
His own personality holds back what he's capable of and even then the little he does do creates a seemingly endless gap between him and his opponent.
@@The_Andromeda_Galaxy No way. His potential is probably higher than Kaidos, but I don't agree with the he's deadlier part.
@@The_Andromeda_Galaxy Current luffy stomps most admirals in a 1v1, and mostt supernovas would've just crushed kizaru.
Facts. Akainu is ruthless. But Kizaru is the guy that catches all eyes. I like him since day 1. The way he sent all Worst Generations flying made me adores him. Idk when he gonna get serious or worked up
@@ridgefrost YEP that video looks like "My friends homework made by myself"
@@ZiomekDuszek he credits the video. You and that other guy are fucking broad
If Kizaru represents the idea of "Hear no evil" does that mean Fujitora's is "see no evil" and Ryokugyu (green bull) is the third one?
aptly, speaking no evil. Ryokugyu will be just as interesting since he shares the same thoughts with Issho. Those two will be part of the next generation of the eventual reformed Marines; it’s unclear to where Kizaru will be, but he’ll certainly be important.
@@ridgefrost Buddy we know, he mentioned that exact video in this one.
The third one is speak no evil and honestly I don't know how the Akainu fanboy Ryokugyu fits under that.
yo the name of the monkey “hear no evil” is legit Kikazaru so ur right. considering Mizaru is see no evil then that is Fujitora. using process of elim u got Akainu for say no evil
@King Lucy, I wrote this comment before green bull's introduction. I was just speculating.
Kizaru is more of a grown up and realistic character then others in the shows.
He is doing his job in a lazy and half hassed manner because just like in real life working hard and well does not necessarily rewards you or other people.
IRL if you get paid the same as everybody else why work harder then them?
And as an admiral why would he strive for more when he is already at the top? He can just be cruising and doing the bare minimum to keep his job UNLESS he finds something interesting or worth doing. He is so strong anyway that he will only move when something truly needs him to move.
And killing strong pirates would be a bad and dumb move, the less people there are the more boring things are.
Which is honest to God terrifying as an enemy.Your not fighting some ideological opponent who cares about morals and righteousness,your fighting the equivalent of a regular guy doin his 9-5 with zero care in the world.There's not gonna BE any talking him down or reasoning, because he literally just wants to do his job and go home like any regular worker.
That's not "grown up"
That's being unmotivated in his work.
There's a big difference.
Grown ups can work hard. Just because it doesn't necessarily help you or others, it could.
@@1001011011010 Or it could turn out to be actively harmful to you or others. Potential always goes both ways, so I really wouldn't use it as an argument.
Vast, vast majority of people don't seek fulfillment from their work, but from their family, friends, hobbies etc. It's not necessarily about motivation, but knowing what you want out of life and prioritizing that. Which is a mature thing to do.
@@MrSamulai
Working hard only becomes harmful if one does it out of sorts. Everything in moderation, as the saying goes.
If you mean "prioritize" as in "don't spend as much time working because you're with your family" then of course one can definitely do that
But many times one needs to work hard for his/her family
But this shouldn't be used as an excuse to ignore the family for work, it's a balancing act.
But if you mean "Nah just don't care about work and be lazy, do the bare minimum" then I will heavily disagree.
The word fulfillment is interesting, if you just mean prioritizing then yeah I get it. But otherwise, to me, fulfillment is something that isn't so much dependent on external circumstances
@@1001011011010they didn’t really mean an adult vs a child more like Kizaru is much wiser than he appears and Oda intentionally portrays him that way. He is not motivated by selfish goals like Akainu and Aokiji (even if he is righteous), he actually understands the bigger picture: that he has nowhere to go but down, and putting in maximum effort at all times will increase his chances of losing everything he has worked for. Fighting Luffy and Blackbeard and everyone he comes across to the death could certainly help the government, but it could just as easily harm them if he loses and they lose a great asset, so why not take the safest most calculated route to victory? He’s smart enough to recognize a tough/tricky engagement that could potentially put him out of commission and instead draw up another more solid plan. He’s not the perfect admiral, but he’s what the Marines wanted apparently so they’re stuck with him for better or worse
This video gave me a thought: Kizaru has the same personality that you might see in an immortal god who has lived so long that they've become apathetic about everything in life. He toys with people, he doesn't care whether they live or die, he has no fear of anything.
It's just how his DV makes him.. has nothing to do with being scary or anything. His DV affects his personality but instead of talking fast like his DV makes him, he talks slow. It's ironic.
@@SuperCrysis92 maybe because he's so fast the world around him is goes so slow in comparison since the faster you go to the speed of light the slower time passes and kizaru calculates his speech but he's not quite right with the speed.
@@SuperCrysis92 Nah that's his Personality in general. Nothing to do with his DF
What you're describing is a psychopath, and that's exactly what Kizaru is.
Aokiji-Lawful Good
Kizaru-Lawful Neutral
Akainu-Lawful Evil
Kizaru more like chaotic neutral
Nah neutral good for aokiji
Aokiji is chaotic good. Maybe neutral good.
@@EliteAaron Nah Akainu ain't evil, he is just doing his job.
@@kausar9881 hence the lawful part
I got chills watching this. I always liked Kizaru for how care free he is but he's honestly pretty scary now that you mention it. What makes me really feel that way is that the scariest thing about him isn't his power or abilities, it's his mindset and thought process.
@@ridgefrost He literally credited the video...
@@EliteAaron where did he credit?
@@ridgefrost 4:58 And you spammed the same comment everywhere without watching this part
@@ridgefrost Get Lost Incel lmao
Same people complain about Kaguya have no character praise Kizaru for same reason. Hypocrytes weeb
He's terrifying because Oda figured out his powers are busted inherently, theres a reason he's been sidelined. Cool Haki you got there would be a shame if something hits you with the speed of light out of nowhere.
I think the observation haki, the one who can see the future, may be the way to beat kizaru, in my opinion, he CAN move at the speed of light, but he can't *think* at the speed of light.
😂 imagine your body moving faster then your mind
And Haki does work like that
Haki is a 1 word description of a master warrior, the ability to read your opponents attack is battle experience and intuition
😂 snap, next your gonna call bull on Conquer's spirit
But you have seen people who spoke with such emotion speak, and no one wanted to challenge them. . . .
😅 ODA picked basic things humans can do and expanded
If he is a socyopath, someone with no feelings, he'd be a good fit to fight Sanji
He's def going to fight Sanji
@@dogperson432 Yamato will fight Green Bull, mark my words in 3 years :D
@@luneth5646 I think that'd be jinbei
@@striker7625 we all know neither sanji nor jinbei is admiral level yet. Let's wait as manga unfolds
sanji wouldn't be able to stand up kizaru, if all the theories of kizaru being the strongest(which are probably true considering he was willing to box kaido and big mom while akainu was too scared to fight one of them) I don't think even luffy could take him
While I'll be the first to admit I have no real evidence for this, I've had the thought in my head for a while that Kizaru might work directly for Im. He's always been this more quietly sinister presence while the other admirals take up more focus in the story, and I think it makes sense for Im, or at least the Celestial Dragons, to have some kind of loyal agent near the top of the marine hierarchy. Let, someone who actually believes in some form of the justice the marines are supposed to embody, such as Sengoku or Akainu, lead the organization, but have someone who embodies the ruler's true ideals right below him in case some course correction is needed.
I am so glad im not alone on this bro
This is a pretty good theory. Afterall he seems to be the only admiral so far who doesn't have a clear motivation.
What does IM stand for?
@@mikeehrmantraut8622 its a spoiler if you dont know who it is
@@ETWIST51294 I’m caught up on the manga lol what does it stand for
So enigmatic yet terrifying. All the admirals are walking contradictions. Kizaru is the fastest yet is seemingly the slowest to react to anything. Aokiji has a warm heart but his power is ice cold. Akainu is cold hearted but his power is the exact opposite. Fujitora sees everything but is physically blind. Wonderful characterization, rarely do you get to see so many characters in any world so powerful that they can literally tilt the flow of the story all by themselves. One piece world building is on another level 🔥🔥
Oda supremacy 🫂
Yess!
I just noticed this detail, thanks for pointing it out.
greenbull has the power to create life and let it flourish, but by his persona he prefers to surpress and keep hierarchys or something like that, someone may formulate It better
@@maxmustermann2908His sense of justice is literally deadly justice so i think it's pretty self-explanatory
Not only do I think that Kizaru is much more powerful than we are lead to believe, I think he also KNOWS more than we think.
Since Devil Fruits can be awakened, an awakened Light fruit would be insane.
A photon exists everywhere at once. Meaning if Kizaru could awaken his devil fruit, he would be able to see the entire world at once. He would be omnipresent.
He knows that the World Goverment is up to, he knows where and what One Piece is.
He possesses the ultimate power and knowledge, and he is just sitting back and enjoying the side.
Bro that’s actually so cool to think about
Why hes always zoned out, his mind isn't only on the fight
While there are photons all over the universe, a single photon is not everywhere all at once. A photon's 'speed' is limited by the speed of light
that... is not how awakening devil fruits works, not a single logia user has awakened their devil fruit as far as we're concerned, so how that would even manifest is left up for speculation up till the current latest chapter (1066)
😂 considering space is dark, and only the atmosphere of a planet allows light to illuminate the surface
The speed of light is slower then we think, and light dosent work the way we think it does 😂
Kizaru might betray the marines. Think about it. Kizaru sis very strong he could have killed anyone if he really wanted to in sabaody. Instead he wasted time fighting Rayleigh. We know oda rayleigh could have had more conversation with him that haven’t fleshed out yet. And he doesn’t really have a motive. I can see him switching sides.
He is just an emotionless monster he was just having fun and playing around with them
So he's basically Gin from Bleach 😂
Kizaru shooting the key is just the same as sengoku standing there glaring mildly menacing at him all the while doing nothing at all
- Tobi use to be a troll until he became Obito.
- Unohana has a calm personality until it was revealed that she's the 1st Kenpachi.
And we have this Kizaru who keeps on trolling and suddenly change his facial expression when he saw Marco transforming into a mythical creature.
This video has been debunked completely with the new arc sadly. He's more of a family guy who simply has to do work he doesnt wanna do sometimes for his own reasons. He has his personality and isn't devoid of emotions. The fact that he thinks he's a "cog in the machine" is simply cope to force himself to do what he has to do. The one admiral who seems more like a sociopath would be Ryokugyu, not Borsalino.
consider the following:
Kizaru is, as you said, seemingly neutral and unbiased, yet evidently arbitrary
in real life, you can't reason with the law, it's completely arbitrary, despite its pretexts of neutrality
so if you think about it
Kizaru's "unclear justice" is actually "true justice"
The most terrifying aspect of Kizaru is that he prefers to completely destroy his victims' hopes by torturing them psychologically instead of going for the kill and letting them die with dignity. At least Akainu goes straight for the one-hit kill to get the job done quickly without getting pleasure from it, which makes him more methodical and efficient, and kinda humane. (I love both characters btw).
😅 I'm a fan of our Ice Admiral
He is a fan of true justice, he's willing to fail missions and let targets go. When he knows the end result is better then the initial orders results given. *Salute* a real warrior
But the magma admiral. . . . . . I can't respect him
He would kill his own teammate if the order was to do so
bro just say kuzan or sakazuki why do u say ice admiral and magma admiral
I kind of think of them as different forms of “justice”
Akainu being legal justice, everything is very black and white.
Aokiji being moral justice, looking deeper into the situation to decide his own justice.
And Kizaru being a chaotic justice
Ooo, I like that
I feel like of all the admirals, we've seen Kizaru hold back the most. I imagine he just wants to fuck around, but if he was really serious, he could actually tap into his fruit. Being light and being able to hit things means he should insta kill anything he makes contact with with a melee attack. A light speed kick should break the atoms in Urouge's body but Kizaru held himself back so much that it only put him out of commission
Technically, hitting things at the speed of light would pretty much destroy the whole planet, so his powers are nerfed obviously
Kizaru is generally lazy; that's why with the powers he has, he tries to expend minimal effort when he's put on the job. And he knows his powers are more than enough to not force him to go all out.
The Syrian sixes are far away under the sixes the janitor is far away under
kizaru: *slow personality, fast abilities*
aokiji: *warm heart, cold abilities*
akainu: *cold heart, hot abilities*
I came in the conclusion that Akainu will be backstabbed from the celestials and the 5 elders because he stood in the way of their plans. It would fit for someone like him to find his end from the organization he represents and not luffy or blackbeard or anyone else. And i agree that Kizaru is working for them and getting direct orders from Imu and he will be the one that delivers the last hit. He has shown numerous times that he is not afraid of Akainu and he is being sarcastic with every conversation they had so far.
Considering the current Fleet Admiral is always butting heads with Gorosei (Aka the ones directly under Im), Kizaru being Im's eyes and ears in the Marines starts making a whole lot of sense.
He is either the most dangerous admiral or he is the least dangerous one. There is absolutely no in between.
I love that you brought up the monkeys and explained it as well as how casual and calm he is while fighting and the fear it brings others~
Kizaru's unclear justice doesnt just apply to his sense of justice, it applies to everything about him which applies perfectly to his fruit. When you stare into a bright light, you can't make out anything clear other than blinding light, just like how when you look at Kizaru you can't make out what he feels, whether or not he's with or against the WG, if he's enjoying his fights or if he's just doing them because he's told. Fujitora's justice is blind, but Kizaru's is blinding.
To me, Kizaru being unclear is like he is standing in a spotlight, light shinging all around his dark, flat silhouette.
as a kid, he was surrounded by books, sentomaru has appeared 3 times and 2 of them with kizaru calling him "uncle", pacifistas with his lazer beans, he can think at speedlight, he force himself to talk slowly so other can understand him.. can kizaru be vegapunk?
I don't know but Fujitora and Greenbull was talking like Vegapunk is an old man. And as if they rarely met with Vegapunk. Greenbull ask about his condition. While they should've know what's happening with Kizaru right? They're subordinates
There's no way that the world government would let Vegapunk risk his life by being at the front lines of Marineford
@@Nick-qj6fb But he didnt really risk his life. If you recall Kizaru was pretty much the only one of the top commanders who took virtually 0 damage in the marineford arc. Further alluding to how much stronger he is than his equals and superiors imho
This is kinda ironic.
This was sooo good. Also the way you threw Michael in there was hilarious.
I mean the only times we've seen Kizaru get "serious" is against the Dark King, and against his old master Zephyr.
So far these are the only two who have actually held their own respectfully against Kizaru, with Zephyr even getting the upper hand during their first clash in the movie.
This isn't in terms of raw power, as I feel his Glint-Glint is easily one of the most powerful Fruits, but in terms of combat skill. They kept him on his toes and even caught him off guard, with Zephyr even inciting pure fear for a monent.
I get that Z is a movie character, but I love the guy too much to exclude him from the conversation. I can easily believe he's the one who trained the Admirals, 100%.
TLDR: Kizaru is just Enel but turned up to 11. I reckon he realised his God complex many years ago and everything has become boring to him.
Think of it like having... Saitama syndrome 😂
I know personality matters but when Luffy met Kizaru he told the Strawhats to run,unlike Aokiji whom he told him to fight him and leave the crew to escape.
Luffy has always had good insight on people's character and feeling.
If he read Kizaru and got nothing, that would definitely be terrifying.
To be fair, he didn’t know how strong admirals were when he fought Aokiji.
Kizaru would be most likely psychopath than sociopaths and I would prefer him to be psychopath because we already have multiple sociopaths in the story like kaido,etc
What's the difference?
@ , Doflamgino is evil incarnate because neither his environment or his genetics made him into the monstrous person he’s shown in the story, and even if you place him into the most peaceful environment with no conflicts of war at all then he’d still turn out like the monstrous person he’s shown in the series because as Corazon said it makes no logical sense as to why both brothers sharing the exact same genetics and environments turns out to being two different people unless Doflamgino is and will always remain a monstrous person even if you placed him in the most peaceful environment with no conflicts of war at all then he’d still remain a monstrous human being.
@Junan Sociopaths and Psychopaths both lack the ability to feel empathy, but the main difference is that a psychopath will create a persona in their minds that they rely on to convey the appearance of empathy, where as a sociopath will at most change their appearance and/or change the tone of their voice to sound "nicer", because creating a convincing persona takes years of refining.
Kizaru = Sociopath
Blackbeard = Psychopath
He’s not a psychopath he just likes to fight
This was such a solid analysis! The animation was on point too!
Man am I glad you made this, your assessment deff reaffirms as to why I always considered this admiral to be my favorite above the rest. I like your tense and dramatic approach to this video. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Considering how Goda loves applying DUALITY to literally anything, I do agree to the notion that Kizaru is that of shadow hiding behind the brilliance of light. Unclear justice might be something like "leaving it to fate." I'm going to shoot you, I won't aim and will do it blindingly and it's up to fate if you'll get hit in critical spot or not. This further explains his attitude when executing the orders he received. Despite the supposedly advantage in speed, he's too slow when taking actions. And he's doing it purposely. He's waiting if something happens or if someone will interfere. He's actually waiting for a sign and if nothing's gonna happen, he'll treat it like it's fate that decided. He's a water that follows the flow. And this is a pure testament of his strength. He's the embodiment of fate. And for that matter, I love his character. I remember I once made a whole theory predicting his awakening and the result was pure nuts. Too op lol.
this analysis is underrated
great video man I really enjoy it
keep up the hard work and more people should see this video
It's weird to see such a small channel with incredibly interesting videos, keep it up you'll blow up for sure.
Kizaru from the moment he popped up in the story has been one of my favorites because of the sense of justice he lacks but being label as someone who enacts justice. Glad to see a video about him and really loved the analysis.
Everything around kizaru moves extremely slow that he still visualizes that and he gets brain damage because he simply cannot keep up
Kizaru might be the strongest Admiral in the marines we just have no way of knowing that for sure until he goes all out
I always thought that he was a psychopath. He seems to really enjoy toying with his enemies before disposing of them. Like a cat playing with a mouse before it gets bored and kills it or let's it go.
I think its just that simple. He's stronger than most people. He knows it and enjoys it.
Man you deserve hundreds of thousands if not millions of sub for this really well made video I love your production. And I love Kizaru!
incredible video lol, kizarus one of my favs, you did him justice
Haven't watched this video yet but I think Egghead proves Kizaru is far from a sociopath.
ahahaha I clicked out of this vid so quick because of the really aggresive edits in the beginning, glad I checked again who this video was made by after a while cause I really liked your previous videos. Please keep it chill!
I love how Kizaru views Luffy. Kuzan and Fujitora obviously can see Luffy heroism through his deeds at water 7 and dressrosa. Greenbull and Akainu just hate Luffy's existence. Kizaru, on the other hand, is more scary. He doesn't care Luffy is a hero or a villain as a pirate, he just does his job as a marine to ruthlessly curtail piracy.
Nah Akainu did give praise to Luffy at Marineford
This arc will tell us everything about Kizaru.
The sheer quality of this is fucking insane. I bet once you blow up all your vids will be at 100k+
Great video enjoyed the breakdown
awsome video we need more of this
I have been a huge fan of Kizaru for so long and have watched tons of videos like this on him to help me understand him better. But this by far is the best video I've seen about him keep up the great work man were all rooting for you!
With the navy being the speartip of the world government, I always had high hopes that Kizaru would turn out to be the worst among the marines, though not open like Akainu, in the shadows of his bright light, aiding the Cipher Pols in the matters aimed against civilians that not even Akainu would have the stomach for. Kizaru has close ties to Vegapunk, he is in charge of the whole Human Weapon project, so I always envisioned him to turn into a Mengele kind of character, someone who tortured and sacrificed countless people for the sake of power, progress and control, abusing Vegapunks intellect into pushing these goals forward no matter the cost as he plays the almost lethargic guy for the outside world.
The fact that they did not properly position Kizaru yet and fleshed him out far less than the other high ranking marines, all while letting him come out completely unharmed despite clashing with Whitebeard himself as well as his right hand man, and him actually suggesting that he could go to Wano to "deal" with the whole Kaido and Big Mom alliance when a single emperor was enough for Akainu to almost soil his pants, makes me believe that they have planned something greater for him than him just being a mindless soldier.
Also the fact that when Luffy punched a celestial dragon they said an admiral would come. Who came? Kizaru. Could be coincidence or could be that he’s the one admiral working directly for them and the elders so he was summoned immediately.
Akainu literally killed a boat full of civilians
@Average Russian Subhuman Its the civilians at Ohara
@@mozzy1268 Kizaru CP0
Dude flew into saobody on a cannonball entirely for style points, someone please lock him up
Very nice video, like the way you made this video, the edit, the way you talked about him
The way you described him as a sadistic person that plays on the mental of people is sooo cool !
First vid i see on your channel and it's already god-mode.
This is amazing. We got another Morj in our hands. Wow. Hope you do more analysis videos. 🔥🔥
Simply Kevin ur vids are becoming better day by day keep doing this and you’ll become a top one piece TH-camr like glr Ohara. Hi big fan here and hope you get 100 k subs
A bit off topic but your voice is so calm and it’s really relaxing to hear I like watching your stuff keep it up
awesome research bro keep it up
Kizaru might be very very over reliant on his fruit, that why he so laid back and not afraid too. In Movie Z, it mentioned by Zephyr that he too reliant on his fruit. Maybe due to the fact his fruit keeps him safe, and secure for it speed. I feel like if there a battle between Kizaru and Blackbeard his true ideals and laid back attitude may change. Or maybe Kizaru is a sadistic guy, who knows.
Kizaru being named after the "hear no evil" sage makes...a ton of sense when you get down to it. If the man has his mind descided on what he wants to do, theres stark little you can do to change his mind. Kizaru has hit that point in his power scaling where nothing really excites him anymore, so he just goes along with anything, but if he chooses to do something your not really gonna get in his way unless you have a deus ex under your sleeve
whats a deus ex?
@@mennnn972 Deus Ex is a shortened version of the term "Deus Ex Machina" which while it roughly translates to "God from the machine" in Latin, comes with the literary meaning of an outside force appearing from nowhere to save the plot and or a group of characters from a bad situation........It litterally refers to divine intervention essentially.
Amazing analysis and vid- subscribed
This video was a great look at Kizaru, really enjoyed it man.
Great video!
Kizaru is actually one of my favorite characters in the show. We’ve seen what most of these monsters are capable of, but this man has never once actually been motivated enough to get serious.
This video is setting a new standard for One Piece video essays. The visuals, the editing, the music, the sound design, the thought that went into it, all grade A level.
Great video. The “he has what I call sociopathic tendencies” like you coined the phrase made me chuckle though.
This video was amazing bro, I always found it really unsettling how Kizaru would fuck with his opponents seemingly just because he could
Kizaru can be summed up as unsure or naive. If influenced in the moment he will go for it. It would be interesting if there was a backstory or some clarity of his actions
Naive or Foolhardy
Kevin man ur theories and hypotheses are so intriguing and so convincing ur amazing man
Amazing video, love that borderlands 2 menu theme
This is awesome! I will never see Kizaru the same way xD
Nice video,great quality production too
If u can please make a video about gecko moria
What a great video, congratulations!
great video man
This aged well lol 😂
why? I'm just getting into the one piece world, don't know much
kizaru cares about his friends and probally gonna betray marine@@ciyaresh2070
Kizaru is by far my favorite character in the entire series. I just love his character design... it's just so good.
This editing is really awesome holy cow
Pretty well made video mate 👍😌
Keep it up
You can reach heights
I see it as a cat and mouse game. He definitely has sociopathic tendencies as a result of wanting to see what his enemies will do. He has very little will and follows the cues of others as well. Maybe he isnt a wg dog... Maybe he does want to see prophecies come true. I don't know about terrifying but he is the most intriguing of the admirals.
I think Kizaru is Imu's guy in the marines. All the other admirals have some counterpoint in devil fruit themes (Aokiji and Akainu are obv ice/magma but also Ryokugyu and Fujitora are growth/crushing). But not Kizaru. Kizaru has no equivalent at his level, but he DOES mirror Imu, who is a similarly cold and condescending figure who is made of shadows. Imu's intentions of world domination are obvious, so they hide in the shadows with their shadow power. Kizaru's intentions are a void, so he is in the light, a figurehead, visible in body but never in intention.
Also noteable in that the Japanese actor he is based on often plays the role of a careless, goofy guy that seems a bit slow, but is always more informed than he lets on. And he is also often revelealed to be the number two to the bad guy, at the very end.
Dark???
incredible work Kevin, you hit the nail on the head. Kizaru is also my favorite admiral
I think this is a really well made video
I feel like this is a play on the slit experiment. When observed, he acts one way, but when he's not, he does as he pleases. This is why he is so easily interrupted. The moment he is "observed" he changes his actions.
This video didn't age well.
Kizaru turned out to be a very sympathetic guy who actually cares about his friends and principles.
Yeah, he went from being a bored psychopath to someone who's heart just isn't into it. He's a lot like Kuzan, but instead of quitting and pursuing his idea of justice, he gave up and is just going through the motions.
Thank God I discovered this channel ❤️
Great presentation
Hey your really good at editing
Aokiji and kizaru are one in the same for me except ones less emotional bit clear with his goals while the other is whimsical and unclear
Is he really a sociopath or is he constantly high on the strongest form of pot imaginable?
nice! especially the quote in the end!!!!!!!!
This is a masterpiece. I've never heard anything like this about Kizaru and I felt shivers go down my spine multiple times.
This was very well written and I enjoyed watching it
