Reception

Allen Divers of Anime News Network comments that the male character designs of the One Piece manga are "often quite varied and unique", while the female ones become "a bit repetitive". They further note that, as the characters are "defined by what they seek", there is little room "for actual development", but they also point out that the series is driven by its battles in which the main characters each take their "turn in the spotlight".[44] Todd Douglass, Jr. of DVD talk simply states that the series' characters have a lot of charm.[45]

In a review of The Desert Princess and the Pirates: Adventures in Alabasta, Carl Kimlinger of ANN describes the visual style of One Piece as "unconventional" with "grotesquely exaggerated expressions, simple eyes, big mouths and bigger teeth", "supremely ugly supporting characters and skinny, gangly-limbed main cast" and comments that "it's all amazingly distinctive, utterly appropriate, and surprisingly cool—in a goofy kind of way." In the same review, Kimlinger notes that "Funimation's English dub is light-years better than the 4Kids debacle", "unusually accurate, professional, and largely enjoyable, which is far, far more than can be said of the previous dub", but notes that Funimation's version of "Crocodile loses his sepulchral charisma" and that "the original's fine dance on the edge of mawkish sentimentality is disrupted often enough by less-than-stellar acting". They also state that "Colleen Clinkenbeard's Luffy is more a generic spunky kid than a personality in his own right, really coming to life only during the action scenes during which she does a fine job of being darned cool."[46]

In another review of The Desert Princess and the Pirates: Adventures in Alabasta, Dustin Somner of Blu-ray.com comments that the Japanese and Funimation voice-acting is "fairly good, but not exceptional" and sometimes "overly zany".[47]

In a review of the second DVD release of 4Kids Entertainment's dub, Douglass notes "the daunting cast of characters, both good and bad", which "vary from cool and collected to rampaging psychopaths" as "one of the appealing factors" of the anime. In the same review, Douglass said that "Some of the voices were pretty irritating ... with a lot of high-pitches and over exaggerated speech."[48]

Brigitte Schönhense of Splashcomics comments that the "brilliant" (German: "genial") flashbacks into the characters' pasts make them so "likeable and lovable" (German: "sympathisch und liebenswert") and that they are the manga's real strength.[49][50]

Mania Entertainment writer Jarred Pine comments that Oda's characters are "whacky" and that his "bizarre" character designs create "wonderful characterizations and personalities". He notes the "well illustrated" facial expressions and says that "it's the whacky characterizations and designs that makes One Piece its own".[51]

In a review of Funimation Entertainment's second DVD release for Mania Entertainment, Bryce Coulter comments that "One Piece's bizarre character designs will keep your attention as they can be very random and often memorable. Not the prettiest, but it will definitely capture your attention."[14]

Ms. Golden Week is a young girl. Her personality is that of one laid back to the point of fault. She, for instance, is perfectly fine with having a picnic during an ongoing battle. Another example of this was when she sat a few feet away from a cup of tea, and apparently was too lazy to walk over to it and pick it up herself.

Crocodile only allowed Galdino to hold his position in the organization as Mr. 3 because of his cunning intelligence and that Mr. 4 was too mentally slow. Otherwise, he would be lower ranked.[citation needed] After being sent to Impel Down on Level 2, he escaped with the assistance of Buggy, whom he shared a kindred bond with, and Luffy, an alliance that, while weak, proves itself on some occasions. In Impel Down, he proves his overall lack of fighting spirit many times. He acts like a coward and backs up Buggy's escape plan over Luffy's much more dangerous rescue mission. When Magellan reaches the fleeing group during their escape, Galdino shows a moment of bravery, but admits he could only hold it together for a brief moment.

Despite being proud, Jimbei appears to put his priorities and principles over his honor, and is not above retreating from an otherwise unfinished battle (even being shamed or openly mocked by an opponent) if it meant for the sake of the greater good. While he is a fishman with great emotional control, he is empathetic, and understanding of the pains of others, such as being brought to tears when Luffy breaks down emotionally in front of him after he has awoken from the Battle of Marineford.

He also believes that people should be what they want to be whether it be a man, woman, or both. Ivankov is very loud and open, even perverse, and often shouts "Hee Haw!". Ivankov ate a paramecia Devil Fruit called the Horm-Horm Fruit (ホルホルの実, Horu Horu no Mi?), which allows him to control the hormones of the human body.

But unlike the other people with the Spirit of D., he has a stern and serious demeanor, however in all of his appearances thus far, except at Gol D. Roger's execution, he is seen with a smug grin on his face. Dragon speaks as though he is a mystic of sorts and apparently doesn't like to speak of, or be asked about, his past. He also has a strange habit of always looking towards the East Blue when in the wind. Dragon is the World Government's greatest enemy and is the most wanted man in the world. It is also strongly hinted that Dragon was behind the events at Logue Town, such as causing a lightning bolt, the sudden, severe rain, and blowing strong winds.

(a powerful man with a lightning bolt shaped black mustache), the Decalvan Brothers (ディカルバン兄弟, Dikaruban Kyōdai?) (a pair of ugly twins), "Great Whirlpool Spider" Squard (スクアード, Sukuādo?) (a man who fought in the past against Gol D. Roger whose crew was eliminated by the Pirate King), the "Little" Oars Jr. (オーズJr., Ōzu Juniā?) (a descendant from Oars, the most powerful zombie of Gecko Moria's army) and the "Ice Witch" Whitey Bay (ホワイティ・ベイ, Howaiti Bei?) (a beautiful woman commanding an icebreaker ship).
