From Shanks to Zoro,One Piecehas some of the iconic fights in the series. While the series is known for its impact frames, there’s more to it. Its finesse lies in the animators’ detail-oriented work. Despite its criticism of heavily laden impact frames, the intricacies are often overlooked. This holds especially true with the recent episode.
A fan edit on X pointed to a brilliant detail in Garp’s fight with Kuzan. The detail outlined the animators’ brilliance in every way. Fans’ reaction to the clip further proves their inability to pick on subtleties. This also reflects Aokiji’s ambiguity as a character in the series. There’s more to his enigmatic character than meets the eye.
Fans on X react to this detail in Garp’s fight with Kuzan
Monkey D. Garpis one of the strongest characters in the series. Be it Iron Fist or Galaxy Impact, his techniques are ruthless. This also extends to his personality in the series. His compassion and belief in his subordinates set him apart from his contemporaries. This is further reflected in Aokiji as well.
Apart from Koby and Helmeppo, his compassion extended to Aokiji. This is evident through his training of the young man. While this isn’t explicitly explored, the recent episode dropped hints. This holds especially true forAokiji’s motivesas a former Marine admiral. His affiliation with Blackbeard Pirates had fans speculating about his possible motives in the series.

An X user@itmorph1shared an interesting detail regarding the fight between both characters.
how tf did you catch that 😭😭👏👏
This is a weekly anime, most won’t watch this more than once and that makes me sad. It’s so beautifully done
You’re so good at catching details like that W bro
We still don’t really have Kuzan’s backstory do we?
Dude😭 do you watch every ep in 0.25.
This minuscule detail is something that most fans would miss out on. To be able to point out this aspect is truly remarkable on the user’s end. This further hints at the ambiguity and layered nature of Aokiji’s character in the series.
Aokiji is an ambiguous yet layered character in One Piece
Aokiji, also known as Kuzan, is a former protege and subordinate of Garp. As opposed to other subordinates, he is quite laid back. His approach and methods regarding justice differ from those of his fellow subordinate Akainu. This is evident when he helps Nico Robin escape during the Buster Call. However, hismotives are as ambiguousas the character.
Despite his saving Jaguar D Saul, Aokiji’s joining of the Blackbeard Pirates raises burning questions. This is especially true with his fight with Garp. What’s even more interesting is that his backstory isn’t explored as much.
The Vice Admiral certainly played a major role in training him. The fact that he holds a high regard for his mentor is proof of that. His joining of the Pirates could be aforeshadowing of his layered characterin the series.
