Uta One Piece - Tumblr Posts
Yandere! Uta Alphabet
Yandere! Uta x GN! Reader This was meant to be in the time where Uta was alone on Elegia with Gordon btw.
Affection : How do they show their love and affection? How intense would it get?
She mostly shows it in a physical way, but she'll show you verbal affection too.
She loves it when you're head is on her lap and she's playing with your hair, singing you to sleep.
And for the intensity, she can get pretty intense at times. It's Uta after all. It mostly happens when her possessiveness takes over. Luckily that's not all the time.
Blood : How messy are they willing to get when it comes to their darling?
Oh she'll get her hands bloody for you, usually when she's jealous and needs to get rid of a threat to you and your relationship. Constantly reminds you that.
But there's just you, her and Gordon on Elegia. So she doesn't have to get her hands dirty.
But if you're even being too close friends with Gordon she'll punish you. She can't bring herself to kill him. As much as she wants to whenever she sees you being close with him, something inside her stops her from doing so.
Cruelty : How would they treat their darling once abducted? Would they mock them?
She'd baby you a lot, forces affection on you and will get angry quickly if you push her away.
I do see Uta mocking you. Maybe she'll tease you for trusting her so easily, making it a piece of cake for her to keep you on the island (or trapping you in her room).
She'll call you dumb at times and make you feel like a complete fool at the start when she's got you in the palm of her hand.
E.g., "Aww, Y/N! You're such an idiot! But I guess you always have been! Gosh, you really are too trusting for your own good!"
But that's only at the start, luckily.
But what stays is when she mocks you when you cry.
E.g., "Don't be such a crybaby Y/N!"
She apologizes after and calls it teasing, she feels bad for mocking you still though.
Darling : Aside from abduction, would they do anything against their darling’s will?
She does what she wants. Like giving you affection, touching you, dress you up, etc... (I do see her making love with you, even if you don't want it.)
So if what she wants happens to be against your will, that's your problem, deal with it.
Exposed : How much of their heart do they bare to their darling? How vulnerable are they when it comes to their darling?
She doesn't seem like the trauma-dumping type of yandere. Maybe she'll open up on her perspective of her past.
That's only if you gain her trust though. She's pretty closed off.
She'll be surprised if you comfort her but definitely pleased and grateful. She'll become emotionally dependent on you if you do comfort her.
Fight : How would they feel if their darling fought back?
I see her becoming EXTREMELY pissed. Like, how dare you?
The mood swings are so mentally draining.
If you fight verbally she'll tell you off and her temper shows.
If you fight physically you might be able to hurt her, but she'll fight back and sing so you go to the Uta world.
She'll feel especially betrayed if you fight physically and the punishments will be worse.
She's gonna punish you there, and you won't be able to hurt her again there.
Game : Is this a game to them? How much would they enjoy watching their darling try to escape?
This is not at all a game to her. She'd be extremely upset seeing you try to escape. She LOVES you. Her feelings are not a joke.
Would lock you in a room to punish you.
Hell : What would be their darling’s worst experience with them?
The punishments, the mood swings, the emotional manipulation, the guilt-tripping and more.
Just Uta is NOT a fun yandere when you act out or don't act the way she wants you to.
Ideals : What kind of future do they have in mind for/with their darling?
She wants to live peacefully with you in the Uta world. Giving her fans the untroubled lives they want while living a tranquil life with you is still her dream.
Maybe she wants you to become an idol with her to perform and everything. To let the whole world know you're dating her. But that's just her possessiveness talking, she doesn't want to burn you out with all the difficulties so that just stays a thought in her mind.
Kids aren't really a thought for her. But she doesn't mind having 1 or 2.
Jealousy : Do they get jealous? Do they lash out or find a way to cope?
Uta is a very jealous yandere, but luckily for you, she never has the chance to be jealous since there's no one else on the island, except Gordon.
But she's the type who'd lash out at you and the other person, then storm off to be angry else where and cope by ignoring you and trying to convince herself she doesn't need you (and fails).
Then caves and clings onto you while threatening you to stop talking to that person.
Kisses : How do they act around or with their darling?
She's a mix of sweet, lovely with cruel and temperamental. When you don't act a general way, she's gonna be snappy. You have to think twice about everything you do or say to not get her angry.
She's a sweetheart when you don't push her away. She's fine if you begrudgingly let her be affectionate with you.
Love letters : How would they go about courting or approaching their darling?
She'll be very sweet. She'll try not to intimidate you with her being a popular idol and everything.
She'll bring you handpicked flowers and try to charm you while being herself.
But if you reject her she'll kidnap you.
Mask : Are their true colors drastically different from the way they act around everyone else?
Not really, but she's more temperamental and more sweet.
Naughty : How would they punish their darling?
I don't really see Uta as the punishing type. But if I had to say, there are a few things.
I mostly see her using isolation. She'd lock you in a room or something.
She'd ignore your pleas to get out for hours until she KNOWS you learned your lesson.
The second option is where she'll make you feel lonely, saying rude stuff, making you feel worthless and alone then leaving you alone for a while to drown in your sorrow.
She knows how mentally destroying loneliness is, she experienced it herself after all, so she knows it'll work.
But she'll come back and act like she didn't do anything.
Oppression : How many rights would they take away from their darling?
A lot at first, the right of privacy and personal space, those are gone forever. The right to go out and the right to dress sometimes.
She just likes to doll you up sometimes regardless of gender.
Patience : How patient are they with their darling?
It's a 50/50 with Uta. She's completely deranged for you and wants you badly. She's willing to do anything to get you.
She's just not sure if she can wait for you to love her back.
Quit : If their darling dies, leaves, or successfully escapes, would they ever be able to move on?
Move on? Haha, that's funny. She would not be able to move on.
If you somehow manage to escape, she'll hold a huge grudge. She won't try to chase you to the ends of the earth.
It only encourages her with her massive plan. She'll get to you and once she finds you in the Uta world- Oh she'll give you a time worse than an eternity in hell.
The only way you can die on the island is by suicide. She's absolutely miserable. She's falling deeper into the abyss of insanity.
First she was abandoned by Shanks, now she loses you? She'll assume it's cause you preferred to die than be with her (it probably is) and she'll be feel so guilty. She might as well kill herself too.
However! If you escape and die, she'll cope and convince herself it was your fault. You were perfectly safe with her. But you just had to expose yourself to the dangers of the world.
Doesn't change the fact she'll destroy the one who killed you though, even if she dies trying.
Regret : Would they ever feel guilty about abducting their darling? Would they ever let their darling go?
Lol no. Maybe she'll let you around the island for sight-seeing, fresh air since no one else is around but that's it.
Stigma : What brought about this side of them (childhood, curiosity, etc)?
I feel like curiosity would be the main element in her obsession.
Let me set the scene with the 'washed to shore' route. She found you unconscious and took care of you. She was curious since it's been forever since she saw anyone else but Gordon in person.
You knew her since she was a pretty famous singer. You told her about the outside world and you became friends.
She featured you in some of her videos, seeing you happily interact with her fans made something bubble inside of her. She fell in love with you then.
The new emotion you brought her intrigued her, and she wanted to explore it, she started stalking you then. She labeled that what she felt was love and started courting you.
Tears : How do they feel about seeing their darling scream, cry, and/or isolate themselves?
She'll feel so guilty. I know I've been mentioning her temper a lot but it doesn't change the face she's a sweetheart. She'll try her best to comfort you.
If you're screaming and crying out of anger she might get a bit irritated but will still try and be reasonable before losing it and using punishments.
Unique : Would they do anything different from the classic yandere?
I mean do you count allowing you to roam around the island as plenty of freedom? If that's plenty of freedom to you then yeah.
Vice : What weakness can their darling exploit in order to escape?
When she opens up to you about her past and what she did to Elegia. You could use it against her. Make her feel guilty about destroying Elegia
She'll be betrayed but she doesn't get angry and punish you, she'll distance herself from you to think about her emotions.
You could use that time of her isolation to escape.
But you need to gain enough trust so that she opens up
Wit’s end : Would they ever hurt their darling?
Mentally, yes. But physically? Only if you REALLY piss her off.
Xoanon : How much would they revere or worship their darling? To what length would they go to win their darling over?
Oh she worships you sometimes but also doesn't?? She wants you a lot, treats you like a god/goddess but also wants a normal relationship?
Yearn : How long do they pine after their darling before they snap?
Let's be real, the girl is mentally unstable even without the wake-shrooms💀
Her mood swings would be CRAZYYY if you don't start showing signs of affection for certain amount of time.
I'd give you 2-6 months if stockholm syndrome doesn't kick in.
Forever if you play along with her.
Zenith : Would they ever break their darling?
No. I don't see that happening. Maybe on accident with all the emotion manipulation, guilt-tripping and over all mental torture is too much and the darling will just go boom💥 ================================================ Hi, hope you enjoyed this. Thanks for reading 'till the end, I had a lot of fun writing this, literally kicking my feet and shit.

Dorm leaders with a reader who sings like the Japanese singer, "Ado"
🌹 Riddle Rosehearts
-Riddle knew you were full of surprises, but he never expected you to have such an amazing voice. Cater was the one that revealed your talent by showing him one of your music videos at one of the Unbirthday parties. Riddle questions as to why you don't reveal your face, but he realized that if that's what makes you comfortable, then its fine. The ADeuce combo joked with the both of you saying that you should sing for Riddle for his birthday. Riddle flushed and collared the both of them for messing with him, but he secretly wouldn't mind if you sang for him. His favorite song of yours is "New Genesis" , he loves how upbeat it is and he sometimes hums the song to himself when he is doing his schoolwork
🦁Leona Kingscholar
Leona doesn't really care for music and all that other nonsense, especially if it disturbs his sleeping. He had found out about your singing when he was heading to Ramshackle dorm to avoid Ruggie, and had caught you in your room, recording for one of your music videos. You didn't realize Leona was in the room until you heard clapping, and saw him standing there with a smirk on his face. "Not bad", he said as he came closer to you and patted your head. Leona started to get more involved with your music, to the point he would wake up from his nap once he got a notification about a new music video on his phone. His favorite song of yours is "Usseewa", he tends to relate to the song and also likes the rebellious theme in the music video.
🐙Azul Ashengrotto
Well, well, well. Not only are you an angelfish, you also have the voice of an angel. Azul had discovered your talent, when he came across you in the music room of NRC, playing and singing on the piano. Azul came closer to you and sat down next to you, not saying a word, just listening to your gorgeous voice. Azul, being a business man that he is, wanted to promote you into being a singer in Mostro Lounge. Of course, he would pay you accordingly and there would be no need for a contract. Once you told Azul that you mostly perform on Magitube (Twst version of Youtube XD), and don't show your face, he understood and wouldn't pressure you, but he really would loved if you worked for him, so he could hear your voice more often. You did offer to sing a song promoting Mostro Lounge or have some of your merchandise be sold at Mostro Lounge, so both of you could benefit, since you felt bad for rejecting Azul's promotion, and Azul agreed in a heartbeat. His favorite song of yours is "Readymade" , he loves how jazzy it is.
☀️Kalim Al-Asim
NO WAYYYYYYY!!!!! YOU CAN SING!!!!!!! WE HAVE TO CELEBRATE!!!! Kalim was over the moon when he found out that you can sing, that he wanted to throw a celebration for you at Scarabia. He kept asking you over and over if you could please sing at the party. You appreciated how happy Kalim was about your talent, but you were not use to singing in front of people. Jamil noticed saw how tense you were and explained to him everything. Kalim realized that he was pushing you to sing and felt uncomfortable. He just wanted everyone to hear your amazing voice that he didn't consider your feelings so he apologized and offered to give you a ride on his magic carpet. Kalim wasted not time to subscribe to you and listen to all your music videos. His favorite song of yours is "The World's Continuation" , he loves the animation in the video and how soothing your singing is.
🍎Vil Schoenheit
Vil considered you to be a regular potato like all the other students until he discovered your talent when the Joint Culture Festival took place. During the auditions for VDC, it was your turn to demonstrate your singing, you surprised both him and Rook with your incredible voice. Vil is not an easy man to impress as he has been in the acting/music industry for a long time, so the fact that you were able to leave him wide eyed and mouth gaped like fish, welp, you had managed to capture the attention of the most beautiful person in NRC. Vil was slowly starting to become one of your biggest supporters/fans, as he often watched over you like a mother hen, making sure you were okay and not straining your voice too much. He wasn't use to your habit of not showing your face in your music videos, as you should be able to show your beauty to the whole world, but he slowly got over it, yet he was still interested in doing a duet with you on your video channel. His favorite song of yours is " Gira Gira" , he loved the message in the song and how it focused on beauty, but flaws and imperfections as well.
🔥Idia Shroud
Haha, don't group Idia with the other normies. He was the first one to discover your talent before all the other dorm leaders. During one of his gaming streams, he noticed that a lot of people were commenting in the chat about a recent music video of yours and that he should check them out. Idia decided to indulge in his streamers comments and check out one of your music videos. Welp, I guess you can imagine that after that, Idia become a huge fan of you and subscribed to your channel immediately. He was always the first one to hop on your new music videos and leave so many sweet comments about how good the video was and your voice. Idia understood COMPLETELY about not showing your face at concerts and in your videos as he does the same thing, and uses a tablet to communicate half of the time. You really appreciated Idia's support and you had asked him if he would be interested in doing an animation for your next music video. Idia fainted once you told him that, but Ortho answered for him and said he would love too. He loves all of your songs, but his number one favorite is "Backlight" , he loves the animation and the fact that you sang songs for an anime has him fangirling like crazy.
🐲Malleus Draconia
"Oya~ You are certainly one unique Child of Man." Malleus loves listening to music, but he is more use to the classical genre of music then rock or pop. He is also artistic in performing since he is very skilled with string instruments. He happened to discover your talent during one of his strolls through Ramshackle, as he saw you sitting in the fields, singing to yourself. Once you discovered Malleus had appeared next to you, you apologized quickly as you wondered if you had disturbed him, but he shook his head and said you sang very beautifully and would love to listen to you sing a bit more please. Malleus wasn't use to technology, but he had Lilia help him with that, since Lilia had better knowledge in that field, so he could watch and listen to your music videos. He was amazed to see how versatile your vocal ability was as you could hit so many different ranges. You had helped him discover other genres of music that he had never tapped into before and he thanked you for letting him discover something new. His favorite song of yours is "Aitakute" , he loves the story in the music video and the romantic theme in it.

Vice Dorm Leaders + Ruggie & Floyd with a reader who sings like the Japanese singer, "Ado"
🍀Trey Clover
-Trey enjoys listening to music especially when he is baking in the Heartslabyul kitchen. He doesn't really have any favorite music genre, as he just listens to whatever is playing or whatever Cater sends him. He had no idea you could sing so well until he heard you singing softly next to him when you were helping him bake tarts for Riddle. "Wow Prefect, you never told me you could sing so well. Its very nice." After your baking session, Trey learned about your video channel and listened to all of your songs in about a week. He knows it must be a lot of work to be a very popular singer, so whenever he has time, he bakes sweet treats for you and brews you tea to soothe your throat. His favorite song of yours is "Eien No Akuruhi" , he loves how it expresses the theme of falling in love.
🍩Ruggie Bucchi
-Ruggie is not really focused on social media and all that other stuff, as his mind is occupied with donuts and making some money. He discovered your talent when he came to the botanical gardens to wake up Leona, until he saw the both of you there, with Leona laying on your lap and you singing a lullaby to him. You stopped singing when you heard Ruggies famous "Shishishi" laugh, and saw him walking closer to you, then lay down on the grass next to you, arms wrapped behind his head and a cheeky smile on his face. He told you he came to get Leona, but he changed his mind and told you to continue. Great job! You got a cute hyena boy as your official cheerleader, as he would always pop into your recording sessions, quietly cheering you on and dancing to the beat. His favorite song of yours is "Odo", he thinks the beat is crazy and loves how energetic it is.
🍄Jade Leech
"Oh my, you seem to very talented, Prefect-san." Jade is always interested in the unknown, so he was very elated to discover you could sing without him knowing and that he found out without using his unique spell. He happened to hear your beautiful voice, when he was serving customers at Mostro Lounge and heard you at one of the far tables in the back, humming some lyrics, while writing some words on a notepad, most likely coming up with ideas for another song. Once you realized Jade was next to you, you greeted him and thanked him for the drink he made. Jade gave you his best gentlemen smile and said it was a pleasure, but before he left, he walked closer and leaned against your ear, whispering "You have the voice of a siren, Prefect. I wouldn't mind listening to you more, in private, of course." Chuckling, he walked away to finish his duties, leaving behind a flustered you. His favorite song of yours is "Love ka?", he loves the oceanic vibe of the song and how slightly twisted the song is.
🦐Floyd Leech
-If there is one thing to know about Floyd, is that he loves music. Music is his best subject at NRC, and he is a very talented dancer as well. He came to discover your singing, when he was training in the gym for an upcoming basketball tournament, and noticed you sitting at one of the bleachers, with headphones in yours ears and you quietly singing. Giggling to himself, he slowly came up behind you and lunged towards you in a bear hug, making you jump in fright. "Ehe~ Koebi-chan~, you're amazing", Floyd squeezed you tighter, super happy that he learned something new about you. After he let you go, you told him about your channel, but before you could talk more about it, he had already taken his phone out and subscribed. Floyd was a very chaotic supporter, as he often spammed the comments section with silly phrases and happened to squeeze you in happiness whenever you uploaded a new video, but you found his support sweet nonetheless. His favorite song of yours is "Rebellion" , he likes how its about breaking free and how he relates to it as he is a slight delinquent/rebel himself.
🐍Jamil Viper
-Jamil was a man of many talents even though he tends to hide them from others around him, but despite being skilled in cooking and basketball, he also happens to have a great singing voice and amazing dancing skills. He happened to discover your singing talent from Kalim, as Kalim was enthusiastically jumping up and down in joy, telling Jamil about your singing voice and that a celebration should be held. Jamil was annoyed that he had to prepare for another celebration again, but he was interested in your singing voice and wanted to learn more about it. He did come to wonder why you don't show your face in your songs like most other singers, but once he found out that is what you preferred to do, then he wouldn’t question you further. His favorite song of yours is "I'm Invincible" , he likes how describes the feeling of being confident and achieving their dreams.
🏹Rook Hunt
-"Oh la la! Your singing is merveilleuse, Trickster!" Rook hunt is a very interesting fellow, he is very poetic and loves to express his joy for findings things beautiful, but he tends to become a bit stalker-ish, when he finds a person very interesting. Well, enjoy being stalked around by this hunter, he is going to be following you 24/7. He is the definition of an obsessive fan, just minus the craziness. Vil has noticed that Rook has become a huge fan of your talent, but he rather it be you then Neige LeBlanche, yet he does tell Rook to suppress some of his antics as he can imagine how much stress it may cause you. Rook is always present whenever you are singing/recording for a new music video, swooning over your voice and holding up signs that say "BEAUTE! 100 POINTS!" It's very hard for Rook to chose a favorite song since he adores every one of them, but he does tend to listen to "Yoru No Pierrot" more out of the others. He loves the colorful animation of the video
🦇Lilia Vanrouge
-Lilia is very up to date with the latest trends and is the most knowledgeable about pop culture, like Cater. He is very talented in the music field himself, as he is shown to have a very beautiful singing voice and is part of the Pop Music Club with Kalim and Cater. He was on his way to his club room, when he heard the sound of singing nearby and went to go explore. He saw you in one of the empty classrooms, sitting on top of the desks, singing to yourself. While in the middle of your singing, Lilia had appeared above you, and gave you quite a scare. "Kufufu, your singing is quite lovely," Lilia said as he placed a hand on your cheek, while still staying upside down. Blushing, you thanked Lilia and he asked if you would be interested in joining his club. Before you could give your answer, Lilia had already dragged you out of the room and ran towards his club room. Lilia was happy to found out you had a channel on Magitube, and became your second biggest fan as Idia had already won the title of number one. Lilia was the most understanding of you not revealing yourself in your MV's , as he believes that you are already expressing yourself enough with your voice, and that it shouldn't matter whether you show your face or not. You did mention wanting to collaborate with his band, and make a song together, to help them gain some popularity. Once you told Lilia that, he was overjoyed. His favorite song of yours is "Tot Musica" , he can't get enough of how powerful your voice is and how intense the lyrics are.

Predictions for One Piece Red (okay it’s mostly Uta):
Uta is definitely an antagonist. Not necessarily the villain but definitely an antagonist.
She has some kind manipulation or hypnosis like ability through her songs.
DADDY ISSUES.
There’s a shitty manager / person of influence in her entourage. My money is on Kalifa.
Big Mom’s crew plays into her backstory.
She hates or at least strongly disapprove of pirates (see Daddy issues).
The weird shiny rainbow rocks we see in the background are either just the distinctive trait of that Island or they also play a huge part in the story.
The kids are here to represent the innocent earnest but broke fans compared to the ones that are willing to throw a lot of money at merchandise.
I kinda expect it’s going to go like that one episode in mlp : The mane attraction where AJ reunites with her friends turned popstar who’s being gaslighted by her manager. Except with more punching and trauma.
No one is going to mention that Brook is also a famous musician with a huge career.
Just saw the 2nd trailer, guess I was spot on the Daddy Issues.

straw hat uta au from my fic!
i am rotating her in my brain at all times…
ASL+U Alice in Borderland AU!!
loads more lore for the AU under the cut!!!!
♠ACE
Ace entered the Borderlands alone, but soon teamed up with Sabo after seeing his skills in ♦ games. He’s aware that Sabo is probably using him for his strength, but he feels confident that he could take him if he tried anything. (Whether this is true remains to be seen.) Quick to anger, Ace has been fired from multiple jobs for insulting customers, but his temper proves its worth in keeping him away from untrustworthy ♥ players. Despite being skilled in many different forms of martial arts, Ace tends to fight dirty, which often catches opponents by surprise in ♠ games. He was arrested several times for suspected arson, and while the claims were never proven, his go-to weapons in the Borderlands include a lighter, and later, a makeshift flamethrower. While initially slow to trust, once he is comfortable around the others he becomes an overprotective and even doting big brother, not that he’d ever admit it.
♦SABO
Sabo entered the borderlands with a few of his co-workers, and was immediately thrown into a ♥ game with only one survivor. (It’s okay, he didn’t really like them anyway.) Initially, he teamed up with Ace to cover for his own weaknesses - while he’s decently fit, many ♠ games require athletics even beyond his level - but he unwillingly began to get attached. Sabo has a special knack for noticing the tricks or loopholes in ♦ and ♥ games, making him an extremely valuable player to work with. An investigative journalist before the Borderlands, he specialized in exposé articles, though many never got published due to companies paying the newspaper to keep quiet. He understands the risks of getting attached to other players, but all the same he can’t stop himself from caring for the others to the point that he’d probably trade his life for theirs, despite being a player who’d usually do anything to survive.
♣LUFFY
Luffy met both Ace and Sabo in a ♣ game that required players to work in groups of three. They tried to ditch him after the game, but were unsuccessful, and eventually decided to keep him around for his skills. While he seems incredibly trusting, Luffy has a keen eye for when someone is actually trustworthy, and survived several ♥ games on his own despite other players trying to take advantage of him. He is incredibly athletic and skilled at ♠ games as well, but his true strength is his ability to bring groups of people together and help them trust each other, even if it’s just for a short time. Luffy’s cheerful attitude despite the situation endears him to Ace and Sabo quickly, and they both find themselves getting attached to him. In the process of this, the two of them also begin to trust each other for real, although they try to deny this at first.
♥UTA
Uta is an incredibly famous idol known for her cheerful, hopeful personality. In reality, she’s merely playing a role she knows the audience loves the most, and she’s actually envious of those types of happy people. (Sometimes, she secretly wishes she was really like them.) In the Borderlands, Uta’s attitude serves her well, as does her fame, and she’s tricked many other players into doing hard work for her. The poker face of her preppy facade is another thing that makes her so skilled at ♥ games, and she’s much smarter than she lets on, playing up her attitude even more in ♦ games to goad opponents into making mistakes. Uta was saved by Luffy in a ♥ game when she was almost killed by a dealer she thought she was controlling, and under the guise of owing him, she travels with ASL for a little while. However, her plans of sacrificing the trio to clear more games are derailed almost immediately by Luffy’s endless optimism.
OTHER PLAYERS
♠KOBY
Koby was initially rather meek, despite having decent physical skills and having taken self-defense lessons for years (in an attempt to stop his bullies). However, after a chance encounter with Luffy, Koby develops his self-confidence and teams up with a group of other players including Helmeppo(♦) and Hibari(♣), realizing his abilities as a skilled ♠ player.
♣LAW
Law is the head surgeon of a prestigious hospital, and he and many of his co-workers were transported to the Borderlands at the same time. They formed a tight-knit team who all trust each other deeply. While Law is good at ♦ and ♥ games, his role as the head of the hospital group and skill at planning and directing the team means his true specialties lie in ♣ games.
♦KIDD
Kidd, despite his rough appearance, is actually an incredibly skilled engineer and one of the smartest ♦ players in the Borderlands. That’s not to say he isn’t also incredibly fit, though most of the fighting is left to his partner Killer(♠). He lost an arm trying to dismantle a piece of game tech, but he built a prosthetic and has continued trying to shut the games down.
♥BONNEY
Bonney, at only 12 years old, is possibly the youngest player still alive in the Borderlands. Unintentionally, because of her age, more cynical players will sometimes sacrifice themselves to keep her alive. She carries this guilt with her, but doesn’t let it affect her worldview - her strong, trusting attitude makes her surprisingly skilled at ♥ games, and she’s no slouch at ♣ either.
♠KOALA
Koala is a karate instructor who mainly stuck to herself after losing her previous group to a particularly brutal ♥ game. She has a particularly strong hatred for the game masters and wants nothing more than to give them a good beating. When Sabo gets separated from his group by the ♠K, she saves him and eventually joins his group when they reunite.
♦DEUCE
Deuce is a medical student who took to hiding his face in an attempt to “re-invent” himself in the Borderlands. His skills as even a trainee doctor are invaluable, and he meets Ace in a ♣ game and eventually joins his group to help with ♦ games. Once he escapes the Borderlands, he plans to write a novel about his experiences, though he doubts anyone would read it.
THE STRAWHATS
I’m sure you’ve noticed that none of the Strawhats are listed here! That’s because Luffy meets them when he is thrust into yet another life-threatening accident after the Borderlands, and is pulled back into another, albeit smaller game. As the only person there who has experience with the games, he manages to keep them alive and the crew becomes close friends once they escape again. (After Ace, Sabo, and Uta beat Luffy half to death for scaring them like that.)
♦: Usopp, Chopper, Robin
♠: Zoro, Sanji, Franky
♣: Vivi, Jinbe
♥: Nami, Brook
One Piece Film Red is Cinematic Gold
The latest one piece film is a visual and musical feast for fans old and new alike. The center focus is on Uta, a childhood friend from Luffy's past who is none other than Shanks' (adoptive) daughter. She uses her talented singing skills to charm the audience and usher in a new era of peace. But at what cost will she manifest her dreams?
Uta is an exemplary example of an anti villain done right. She grew up seeing how much despair pirates cause with their mayhem so she set out to make songs to soothe the hearts of their victims. She genuinely wants what is best for the world but goes about it in the worst way possible. I loved the dynamic she had with Luffy. It started out as a cheerful reunion between two distant friends before their clashing ideals results in conflict. Luffy embodies the idea of freedom while Uta uses forceful measures so everyone follows her version of happiness. This contrast makes the drama all the better. Seeing Uta devolve from a high spirited girl to a broken martyr was so gut wrenching to sit through. I truly feel that she's one of the best female characters in the entire franchise from just one movie alone.
The animation and music were also stunning throughout the entire movie. Uta's musical numbers were vividly animated and full of detail. Character designer Masayuki Sato elevated Oda's designs to the next level and brought them to perfection. I wish he was the main character designer for the anime, but the art has improved ever since the Wano arc began so I'm content. The animation goes full throttle during the final battle against Tot Musica where all the straw hats and Shank's crew team up, albeit indirectly. One piece has never looked so eye catching before. Luffy briefly tapping into gear 5 in the final battle was icing on the cake.
Ado absolutely killed it on this soundtrack. I've been a fan of her since discovering usseewa and she doesn't disappoint at all. Each song captures how Uta feels at the current moment in the film and sheds light on her character. My favorite songs are the victorious sounding "Backlight" and the captivating haunting " Tot Musica", which is also the name of the ultimate villain in Red. Fun fact, Tot Musica was composed by legendary composer Hiroyuki Sawano, the same guy who worked on titles like Promare and blue exorcist. He's not the only high profile name on the list either. New Genesis is composed by Yasutaka Nakata, a man who played a pivotal role in the 2000s J-pop scene. I'm hoping these ambitious musical collabs become more common in one piece soon.
Overall, One piece film Red outshines all other films in the franchise with its gripping character drama and impeccable soundtrack. You can officially watch the movie on Vudu.
