Yamato from One Piece was born female but identifies as male, aspiring to be like Kozuki Oden, and uses he/him pronouns, though some fans debate this due to cultural nuances, with creator comments suggesting a complex identity, but official material often uses male pronouns for him when referring to his Oden persona, making him a character with a non-binary identity or a trans man.
After Oden's death, Yamato decided to become like him, impersonating him and adopting his mannerisms. As a result of this desire to emulate Oden, Yamato decided to become a man and identify as Kaidou's son, with his father and the Beasts Pirates referring to him as such as well.
Kaido wife is Gloriosa, the former Empress of the Amazon Lily.
Yamato said that he became a man, which is a direct statement of his identity. He has referred to himself as Kaido's son since he was eight years old, and has introduced himself to people as Kaido's son on multiple occasions. When there was no mixed bathing, Yamato chose to bathe with the men.
In the official translation of chapter 989 Luffy used Yamato's preferred pronoun of he/him. He said "Don't worry Shinobu he's an ally." and "You can trust him." .
Upon his defeat at Luffy's hand, Kaidou recalled his belief that Joy Boy would be the one to defeat him, implying that in his final moments, he recognized that Luffy was the same Joy Boy he had waited for after all.
Luffy accepts everyone, and he doesn't draw the line at queer people. The aroace king himself. You heard it here, Luffy is the ultimate ally.
To put it very simply: Yamato has been female since birth, and she has never undergone any form of gender transition. Her outward appearance is clearly and unmistakably female. The only factor here is that she wishes to become like her idol, Oden.
Ace was in Wano four years ago, so Yamato would have been 24 and Ace about 18.
Yamato is a female character, but she was so inspired by Oden that she decided to refer to herself as a man.
Nami has a crush on Luffy, though he is unaware of it and treats her platonically.
In Thriller Bark, Nami is kidnapped by the zombie Absalom, who tries to force her to marry him. The crew's cook Sanji tries to rescue her, but Absalom incapacitates him and attempts to complete the wedding.
Yamatos mother is gloriosa. As an old lady she goes by elder nyon. Why this is 100% the case and oda hinted this across the story.
Yamato (ヤマト), also known as "Tenzō" (テンゾウ, Tenzō), are both code names for this Anbu-turned-jōnin of Konohagakure.
The Inu Inu no Mi, Model: Okuchi no Makami is a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit that allows the user to transform into a hybrid and full version of an ancient wolf deity at will. It was accidentally eaten by Yamato. As noted by Kaidou, said wolf is the "Guardian Deity of Wano", making this Zoan particularly valuable.
Yes, One Piece features significant LGBTQ+ representation, particularly with characters like the gender-fluid Ivankov, the trans samurai Kiku, and the trans man Yamato, alongside themes of acceptance and fluid gender presentation, though some early depictions of gender-bending characters (Okama) have been seen as relying on stereotypes, a criticism the series has evolved from. The series emphasizes freedom and challenges norms, showcasing diverse characters and relationships, making it a landmark for queer representation in anime, even as interpretations of its nuances vary among fans.
While opinions vary, Portgas D. Ace's death is widely considered the saddest in One Piece, primarily because he died protecting his brother Luffy, fulfilling his desire to be loved, but at the cost of his own life during the Marineford War, devastating Luffy and fans alike. Other frequently mentioned heartbreaking deaths include Belle-mère (sacrificing herself for Nami and Nojiko), Donquixote Rocinante (Corazon, for Law), Whitebeard (a legendary figure falling), and Pedro (a selfless sacrifice).
Ace is the son of Gol D. Roger, the King of the Pirates. To protect Ace from the government and those who would harm him due to his father's reputation, Garp took him in and raised him as his own. What was Ace's role in the Whitebeard Pirates? Portgas D. Ace played a significant role in the Whitebeard Pirates.
The word "Yamato" came to mean "Japan" itself. The Japanese spirit is called the "Yamato Soul" even now, and people in Okinawa still call the people of Japan's mainland (Hokkaido - Kyushu) "Yamatonchu". This era saw the creation of a prototypical Japan.
In fact, in the case of Mythical Zoan, the only Devil Fruit that has gone through awakening is Yamato's Dog-Dog Fruit, Model: Okuchi-no-Makami. While it has never been officially confirmed in the story, there have been multiple pieces of evidence that suggest that Yamato has awakened his Devil Fruit.
Emporio Ivankov, or Iva for short, is the "Queen" of the Kamabakka Kingdom, known as "Okama King" and a "Miracle Person".
The "D." in One Piece (the "Will of D.") is a major, unresolved mystery, but theories suggest it represents Dawn, symbolizing a new era and liberation, or possibly Devil/Demon, linking them as enemies of the Celestial Dragons, while also often signifying bearers of grand dreams like Luffy, Roger, and Ace who possess immense willpower and destiny, often laughing in the face of death.
While Blue Lock doesn't heavily focus on romance, fans widely discuss Ryusei Shidou as potentially pansexual and Rensuke Kunigami as bisexual, based on their profiles mentioning attraction to all genders (play mates for Aiku, "playmates" for Shidou), though official confirmation from author Muneyuki Kaneshiro is absent, with fans interpreting character interactions and file details for queer representation, especially Shidou's flirtatious nature and Kunigami's broad preferences.
Luffy is indeed asexual. Luffy was unaffected when Hancock used an attack called Mero Mero no Mi, which uses the victim's sexual desires to turn them into stone. Many people interpreted this to mean that Luffy doesn't have sexual desires, and is instead entirely focused on pirating and eating.
