One Piece fans create hilarious catch up chart
CrunchyrollNeed a quick status update on everyone on Egghead Island and beyond in One Piece? You can catch up with this fan-made catch-up chart that gets straight to the point.
The adventures of the Straw Hat crew go from relatively simple to very complex as the story of One Piece goes on; what started as “We’ll free this village from the pirate terrorizing it” has gone to “We’ve formed a massive alliance to free a country from one of the biggest villains in the series.” The premise is the same but the stakes have gotten higher.
A lot is going on in the Egghead Island arc of One Piece; with many characters involved being spread out all over the place, it’s hard to keep exact track of what’s happening to whom. Thankfully, a record-keeping enthusiast and fan has made a chart stating what every major player in the series is currently up to.
One Piece fan creates hilarious Egghead Island character status chart
On the One Piece subreddit, u/tuna_core has created a status chart of every significant character during the events of Egghead Island, rendering all plot complexities down to a short color-coded humorous comment.
While crudely titled, the status of every character included is technically true. Color-coded appropriately for green means all is good for this particular character, yellow is uncertain, or we don’t know yet, and red means they’re likely dead.
Thankfully, there are few reds on the boards with plenty of greens; Zoro is technically still on animal control fighting with Rob Lucci, who’s also “here to prove he’s still got it” after his defeat in Enies Lobby and is raring for a rematch with the Straw Hat pirates, where Nico Robin has mysteriously been absent for a while.
They’ve also included all characters of note that are caught up in the events outside of Egghead Island while the arc goes on. Buggy and his gang of former Warlords are just struggling as he makes a grand declaration; rivals Eustass Kid and Trafalgar Law are getting beaten “like a piece of paper in a hurricane” and can’t catch a break, with the latter teasing a plotline that could kill Law.
Even villains get a status catch-up: the ever-present Saint Saturn is “watching his plans fall apart”; Akainu aka Sakazuki, a known action man, is “losing his mind sitting at a desk”; and Blackbeard’s crew getting in on the action outside of Egghead with them capturing Garp and taking down Law’s crew. Then there’s Rocks D. Xebec, though long dead, all fans want to know as they say: “What did you DO?”
As we continue into the final saga, we can only expect things to become more chaotic and trickier to follow, with complex stories with many moving parts and many characters as players. We can appreciate the efforts of a brief yet humorous summary of where everyone is and what they’re up to as we wait for the next exciting chapter of One Piece.
