7 Dragon Ball Villains that could've carried their own arc

Honorable mention, Sorbet. So I enjoy Frieza as much as the next guy, but his wacky and colorful Frieza Force is what firmly places the Namek Saga over the Cell Saga in my mind. Like they're all such memorable characters that I even like Cui ffs. However, let's be real, none of these guys could carry their own arc. At their heart, they're all followers (all except good ol' Geets). Maybe before their recruitment they had more ambition and determination, but when faced with Frieza's insurmountable power, they ultimately all bent over and bowed.

Sorbet is an odd example, because he is definitely a follower as well, although when the power vacuum that is Frieza and King Cold's death opened up, he didn't turn away. He instead took charge and kept the Planet Trade Organization afloat for DECADES, despite being a koala-man with a power level that I'm sure rivals Appule at best.

The only reason he's not on the list proper is because when we finally get to see Sorbet in action, he's trying to pass the torch back to Frieza. He still gets major points tho for leading as long as he did

Spoilers: no one else from Super is on this list, even though a filler character is

Monster Beast Giran

Look, I'm not saying Giran could've carried his own saga, but if Dragon Ball had been written by a more traditional shonen mangaka instead of a gag artist, he probably would've been the Big Bad of the 21st World Martial Arts Tournament. And yes, I'm using his added characterization from filler scenes in the anime to make my point.

A milk drinking brute with a voracious appetite and a deep-seated hatred of heroes, this absolute unit was unfortunately no match for Goku in canon, but his hulking appearance and quirky personality (at least in the anime) always stuck out to me. In my generic re-write of this arc, a majorly buffed Giran faces Jackie Chun instead, and defeats him. He then faces and almost defeats Goku in the final, but Goku transforms into a real monster beast for the win, and that's that

Yea I won't be trying to retell the story for the rest of these entries

Raditz

It says a lot about the quality of Toriyama's villains that Goku's evil brother from space is a mere speed bump on the road to the real top dog of the Saiyan Saga. This dude is so fucking sexy and such a piece of shit that I can't help but imagine what he could've gotten himself into if only he had more screentime

Staff Officer Black

I know Toriyama loves subverting expectations and that's one of the things I so greatly enjoy about Dragon Ball, but c'mon. Commander Black of the Black Ribbon Army would've been... so so sooo cool. The dude's a true believer, actually loyal to his men, and idk what Red did to become the leader over him, but he seems to have been the real brains behind the operation. Dragon Ball Online brought back Commander Red as a cyborg and all I'm asking is why not Staff Officer Black instead?

Turles

Aight so Tree of Might isn't the greatest movie, I'd even say it's mid at best, but it also has amazing ideas. The Tree of Might? Neat, inspired, scary, and also drawn from Journey to the West lore. Turles? Sexy tan Goku, what's not to like? His Crusher Corps? Don't get me started on his Crusher Corps, because they all have their own story, which was included in extraneous material, but not the movie itself.

Amond, the big guy? Yea he was an intergalactic criminal that was arrested by the Galactic Patrol until he was freed by Turles. Daiz was the Prince of the Pukimpa Dynasty that led his planet's army against Turles, but was defeated, then recruited for fighting so bravely. Cacao was a cyborg built to fight an interstellar war before he fucked off to become a bounty hunter and eventually join the Crusher Corps. Rasin and Lakasei were fossils resurrected by Turles using extract from the Tree of Might.

Fuck, Turles himself is a low-class Saiyan warrior that somehow found or stole the holy Seeds of Might, which were reserved for Kai. When I was a kid my older brother told me (read, lied to me lol) that Saiyans were all test tube babies grown from different strains and that's the difference between low medium and elite saiyans and why he and Goku are almost identical. Like, that's not true, but there's a lotta fleshing out you could do with Turles to make him and his potential saga more compelling

Demon King Dabura

Ruler of a shadowy demon realm for thousands of years with a power level that equals Perfect Cell, Demon King Dabura is also... the bitch of a tiny bitchy wizard? Yup, that's Toriyama all right.

So lemme start by saying that this guy gets so little credit he's not even in Fighterz, despite having a cool sword and a huge canon moveset. He also looks... well tbh, he doesn't look as awesome to adult me as he did to kid me, but he's still neat looking. I like his horns and his funky glamrock outfit. He also probably had his own Dabura Force filled with edgy evul henchmen (including Shula from that filler episode, who I'm pretty sure inspired Dabura's creation) that could've easily filled an entire saga.

It says a lot that Raditz isn't the lead of his saga, but imo it says way more that Toriyama created an entire evil universe opposite the regular universe ruled over by this baritone Satan and he's just a footnote. It also says a lot about Dragon Ball Heroes that instead of trying it's own thing, it digs up Toriyama's fossilized spittle and creates Mira, Towa, and Kabuto from Naruto.

Mercenary Tao Pai Pai

Ok so I'm biased, because this flamboyant bastard is easily one of my favorite villains, and that's including everything, not just Dragon Ball or comics. He oozes so much style that I'm not even sure how you could stretch him out into an entire arc, but it doesn't matter, because he could make it work. The dude can make watching someone else shop for clothes compelling ffs, so as far as I'm concerned, Tao could've been the villain for the whole of Dragon Ball and it'd be just or almost as good as what we actually got

His shirt says Kill You! he's seriously the best don't @ me

Dr. Gero

Mustache

Yes, I know he was supposed to be the Big Bad, but Toriyama's former editor didn't think an old man in baggy pants and a fat clown could carry their own arc, but they're wrong damn it! Just look at him

Dragon Ball Super 021

Yeah... this is pretty bad.

So, just like in the movie, the DBS version of Majin Buu slept through this adventure too.  You know, it might have been cool to use this retelling of the story to have Buu actually participate in this version, just to make things a little more interesting.  Like, maybe Buu kicks a lot of ass, so Frieza has to bust out second or third form to beat him.  That’d be pretty cool, right? 

Anyway, Frieza sics a thousand goons on the assembled heroes, and their strategy is to just hold them off as long as they can until Goku and Vegeta show up.  The one difference this arc does give us is Krillin having a bad case of nerves about all of this.  Remember, he retired some time after the Cell Games, so this is his first big battle in about... thirteen years?  I think that’s right.  So he tenses up at first, and then Frieza offers a whole planet to the warrior that kills him, specifically, so everybody tries to dogpile Krillin. 

Then when someone tries to hit Krillin, he dodges it without thinking, and Master Roshi has to remind him of all the battles Krillin has fought and witnessed.  He’s taken in more skill than he realizes, and also, these Frieza soldiers are a lot weaker than the ones he encountered on Namek, so this isn’t even really a fight.  It’s just busy work, really.  Emboldened, Krillin goes to town and joins the others. 

Mostly, I think this is all done to lampshade the lack of strategy used by Frieza’s goons.   There’s a lot of shots of them just loitering around while a good guy fights them two or three at a time.  That’s not a shot at this episode, because that’s mostly what happens in the movie too.  Sorbet says this is because they’re fighting badly, but Frieza doesn’t care, because he prefers it this way.  The soldiers are expendable to him, and he likes watching Goku’s friends struggle against hopeless odds.  After all, there’s nothing waiting for them at the finish line except Frieza himself, and they already know Frieza has become too strong for them to defeat.

Then Frieza grows bored, so Sorbet sends Shisami to clean up.  Gohan tries to fight him alone, but it’s pretty boring.  As I recall, in the movie, Piccolo took on Shisami, then Gohan stepped in and one-shotted him by turning Super Saiyan.  Then Frieza nearly kills Gohan with a Death Beam.   

In this version, it’s a little more complicated.  First, Tagoma shoots both Gohan and Shisami with a ki blast.

Remember, Tagoma isn’t even supposed to be in this battle, because in the movie version, Frieza killed him four months earlier.  Here, he’s alive, and he takes umbrage at the notion that Shisami is the Frieza Force’s “strongest warrior”.  With one shot, Tagoma demonstrates that he’s the strongest, and he took out one of the enemy’s strongest fighters, so he considers that a sensible move.  Sorbet objects to him killing one of their own men, but Tagoma insists that empires are build on the bones of soldiers.  That sounds like something Frieza might say...

As it turns out, the reason Tagoma got so strong was because Sorbet convinced Frieza to let him live so he could be Frieza’s training partner.  So for the last four months, Frieza has been beating the absolute shit out of Tagoma, then ordering him to crawl to the medical machine to regenerate by morning so they could do it all again.  And in Dragon Ball, that kind of crap actually makes you stronger, so now Tagoma’s in a pretty high tier.  Gohan estimates that he’s become about as powerful as he was when he fought Super Buu, which is pretty impressive.

Of course, getting clobbered by Frieza every day for four months also makes you a little nutty.  Tagoma is now just as cold and ruthless as Frieza himself, and he claims to have learned the true secret of power after enduring all that torment. He asks Frieza to be made commander of the Frieza Force if he eliminates the Z-Fighters, and Frieza agrees, right in front of Sorbet. 

So this was a neat little thing they added to the story, but it sort of bears out my own idea that they should have thrown Majin Buu into the mix.  Maybe Tagoma could have fought him, since that seems like an even match, I guess? 

As Tagoma powers up, Goten and Trunks sense it, and decide to check it out.  Earlier, Gohan said he promised Bulma that he wouldn’t tell Goten and Trunks about this battle, but I don’t understand what they expected.  The boys can sense ki just like everyone else.  Really, I’m more amazed that they didn’t notice the fighting sooner. 

Oh, also Beerus commands Whis to send Goku and Vegeta into some other dimension without any explanation.  So that’s a thing.

[sweetescapeartist]

What do you think of the idea of the Shadow Dragons being created by the Z fighters' constant overuse of wishes and the idea of it ending with the bit that they shouldn't be relying on the Dragon Balls so much to fix something and that they should fix it themselves, you know kinda what GT was going for?

Eh... I don't know.

The reason being is because the Z Fighters don't always rely on the Dragon Balls to fix things for them. They usually fight themselves then use the Dragon Balls to help others. So most of their wishes are selfless. The Shadow Dragon would need to be created from selfish or bad wishes. Like Oolong's wish for panties, Sorbet's wish to resurrect Freeza, Pilaf's wish that turned them into kids, and Bulma's wishes to look younger and other things. So most of the Shadow Dragon would be a result from Bulma which could be an interesting idea.

But regarding what weve been shown in the series, the Dragon Balls just shouldnt be used for evil and grreedy purposes.

Kami reason for creating the Dragon Balls to lend courage & hope to those who struggle, but everyone used them for their own greed. Except for Goku and his friends. And ppl like them found courage and hope from their adventure to find the Dragon Balls. It made them the heroes we know them to be today.

The Namekian Dragon Balls were created to be used by great heroes who completed trails of wits or strength. Or explaining to the elder why you desire to use such a wish (like how Krillin explained his desire to save the Namekians and resurrect his friend to the Great Elder & Krillin was given the Dragon Ball). The Dragon Balls are a reward for the worthy.

Elder Kai didn't approve of using the Dragon Balls. He felt it disturbed the natural order of things. But, he soon saw the value of doing so to help make the universe a better place. (Which means if Goku and his friends didnt use the Dragon Balls to help others as they did, then the Mortal Level of Universe 7 would've been terrible. Not to mention non existent. Universe 7 would've just been erased instead of there being a Tournament of Power that gives all universes a chance.)

Even though the Dragon Balls helped save the universe, Elder Kai still viewed it as misuse when he says "misusing the Dragon Balls again..."

In DBS, we have the Super Dragon Balls. After 17 won the tournament and was rewarded with getting his wish granted, we learn that a selfish wish would've resulted in all universes being erased. But, 17 made a selfless wish just as Goku and the others have done time and again. Zeno was pleased with this outcome that he predicted. It assured him that Goku & his friends could chang something. That mortals could change for the better.

And lastly, there's the fact that Toriyama wrote that things will be alright because they have the Dragon Balls with them.

The Dragon Balls are good to have so long as there are good people like Goku and his friends. Their purpose is to be used for good.

So, if the Shadow Dragon were to somehow come forth, it would be from selfish wishes like the ones I mentioned at the begining. It could work. But I'd have as a plot point that the Shadow Dragons get stronger every second so they split into teams to defeat them as quickly as possible. This allows for the heroes of Earth split into teams to fight the Shadow Dragon instead of it mainly being solely Goku who fights them.

But, ya know what I think would be cooler than just adapting the Shadow Dragons into Super? Have it be Janemba be released from the Dragon Balls or something like that.

A story that I would like to see that I might have talked about once is this...

Demon King Piccolo found out about the Demon Realm and spit out a Mazoku (Demon-Clan) egg then used magic to send it there. The egg never hatched for some reason and just kept absorbing the evil energies of the Demon Realm as well as the magic of that realm. Centuries later, it finally hatched and the demon Namekian mutant known as Janemba awakens. This would make Janemba the evil "older brother" of Piccolo. Also kinda his evil "son" from a past life.

Anyhow, thats it. Shadow Dragon could work, but Goku and his friends dont always rely on the Dragon Balls to fix things. They use the Dragon Balls for good and to help others. Except for Bulma whos been making quite a few wishes. So if Shadow Dragons did appear, it woul mostly be due to Bulma's misuse of Dragon Balls. Also GT didnt even completely get rid of the Dragon Balls. They came back in A Hero's Legacy. Although my memory is fuzzy regarding GT.

(But imagine a double cheeked up Shadow Dragon that was created due to Bulma's wishes in Super Hero 🤣)

Tagoma: Shisami, even though we fight and argure a lot, you’re still my partner and best friend.

Shisami: Thanks Tagoma.To be honest, I’m just jealous of you hanging out with Sorbet all the time. I’ve always been. He’s always hanging out with you more than me. *tears start to drip out of his eyes*

Tagoma: I never knew you felt this way. I’m sorry. But you know, Sorbet doesn’t just hangout with me all the time. He’s hangs out with all us, and that includes you too.

Shisami: You’re right. Thanks Tagoma. *hugs Tagoma with a sad smile on his face*

Tagoma: *smiles* You’re welcome. *hugs Shisami back*

Sorbet: *wipes a tear from his left eye and smiles at Tagoma and Shisami* That is just beautiful.

Why Tashigi Deserves More Respect

I really gotta remember these other things I plan on writing XD Often I get reminded though by people around me criticizing something I realise ‘that’s a little misunderstood’ and then get compelled to write about it. For today we’re looking at the female Marine of One Piece, Tashigi. Now before we start, I want to make a point that Tashigi is still an underused character brimming with potential that Oda seems to shy a lot from. Oda can still sincerely do a lot more with her and I for one have been disappointed by her lack of use in Stampede and lack of appearance in Wano. However, I get a lot of people who feel that Tashigi is ‘useless’, and I’m going to say that this isn’t really the case.

Argument 1: Her Battles

Of course, a lot of strength regarding a character comes with their ability to come out victorious. It can harm any character in a show to constantly be on the losing side of a fight and it does hurt Tashigi (and Smoker) a lot that they do end up that way. While I would love Tashigi to have her first clean win since those guys in Loguetown I’d like to remind you that Tashigi’s fights do have a bit of defense to them, let’s look at all of Tashigi’s named opponents

Zoro (Loguetown) - We always knew that Zoro was winning this, while she was bested by Zoro the purpose of the story wasn’t ever going to be Tashigi being stronger, instead this was Zoro having to confront her similarities with Kuina in personality rather than skill.

Nico Robin/Miss All Sunday (Alabasta) - While Tashigi was unable to even strike Robin back in Alabasta, Robin’s devil fruit allowed her to be perfect for such a situation. A trained and deadly assassin, Tashigi’s physical confrontation was never going to succeed, but what was key to this battle was Tashigi’s realization in regards to the failure of Justice. In the end she had to rely on Luffy to defeat the Pirates the WG had assigned to maintain the balance.

Luffy (Marineford/Punk Hazard) - Luffy and Tashigi briefly crossed paths in Marineford, Luffy swiftly dodged her but again, Tashigi was never going to defeat Luffy and was merely a doorway to put Smoker and Luffy into a fight. It’s also worth reminding that Tashigi must’ve been capable enough to hold her own against Whitebeard’s lesser forces, since she was uninjured from Marineford. They also crossed at Punk Hazard, but then they were both weakened by being in unfamiliar bodies, something which Luffy even acknowledges.

Trafalgar Law (Punk Hazard) - as pictured above, Tashigi’s defeat to Law was another gateway for Smoker to enter the fight, but this one had more purpose in showing Tashigi’s willpower, which we will get to. As you can tell, there’s a theme: Tashigi would never have beaten Law in terms of the narrative, why do we hold it against Tashigi that she lost to the guy who later did this?

Ceasar Clown (Punk Hazard) - while listed as a fight, she fell the same way as Robin and Franky due to his DF being unrevealed, again this being a gateway to sell that Ceasar had a danger to him, I wouldn’t actually count it as a fight.

Vergo (Punk Hazard) - the Donquixote spy is one of Doflamingo’s deadliest subordinates. The original Corazon, Tashigi’s conflict with Vergo brought Sanji into the fight and once again highlighted to Tashigi the corruption within the Marines themselves. Like Law (and the next), we can’t be too harsh on Tashigi losing to Vergo, the guy easily fended off Sanji to the point of almost breaking Sanji’s leg, he also was able to beat Smoker

Monet (Punk Hazard) - Monet is a mixed one, because Zoro quickly defeats her she was quickly overshadowed by the fact that she struggled to even get on the offensive, broadening the gap between them. But, I’d like to remind everyone that Monet was able to force Luffy into fleeing their battle and was handling Robin, Nami and Chopper at once. Tashigi hadn’t completely lost either, I would bet that she’d fight without an arm, maybe not successfully but she would, and she got the finishing blow on Monet - her second offensive attack against Monet put her away and while technically this doesn’t count as a W for Tashigi she did not technically lose in this fight either

As you can see, while it’s easy to say that ‘Tashigi never wins her fights, so she’s weak’ it really undermines the opposition she willingly puts herself against. Narratively there’d be no reason for Tashigi to win these fights, doing so would lead to confusion and disbelief (for instance, would you have seen Luffy beating Kaido solo back in Bakura Town? No, obviously). Tashigi is still strong, she’s able to survive the Grand Line, easily deflect cannon fire with her sword and use Haki, the latter cannot be said for Main Characters like Nami, Chopper, Franky, Carrot and somehow Robin (like girl you spent 2 years with the Revolutionaries, where’s your Haki?). While we would love a win to validate this, Oda always puts her against an opponent that would be difficult for her to win against, and we thus mistake her inability to win as weakness. So that leads to another argument. Argument 2: Tashigi always punches above her weight While this is very much true, One Piece has often told us that being the strongest doesn’t always mean that you will win. Consider 90% of Nami and Usopp’s wins, Luffy’s wins over Crocodile, Enel, Lucci, Magellan, Cracker and Katakuri, the weak may not be able to choose how they die but that doesn’t mean that the strong can either.  I’d also like to argue that Tashigi’s motive on fighting strong opponents is not because she feels that she is stronger, she fights them because they are the enemy that needs to be stopped, her motives are pure in her pursuit of justice just as the Straw Hats fight stronger opponents because it fulfills a just cause such as saving Alabasta, their crewmates, people who had their shadows stolen, Camie, Fishman Island, the Punk Hazard children, Dressrosa, Zou or Wano. Tashigi really gets criticized for it because it doesn’t yield the results it does for major characters, often needing help to get the victory. In that I wanna point out a harsh truth as well; Goku - the people many anime fans will compare power scales against - almost never beats the main villain on his own in DBZ or DBS. Freeza - required damage from Krillin, Gohan, Vegeta and Piccolo before the win, and he didn’t finish him off, Cell - tags out to Gohan, who also needs Vegeta’s help to win, Buu - needs Vegeta’s help via fusion and a full power recharge by the Dragon Balls, Beerus - he lost, Golden Freeza - he got jumped by Sorbet and needed Whis’ rewind, Hit - he gave up, Fused Zamasu - lost, and needed Zeno to wipe him out, Jiren - needed Freeza and 17′s help and Vegeta’s energy and finally Broly - needed fusion. So maybe, if even Son Goku cannot win on his own, we can cut Tashigi a little bit of slack given that she’s not even a main character.

Argument 3: ‘She does nothing’ I don’t really like this insinuation. Often Smoker and Tashigi are the ones that pick up the mess after all the enemies are defeated, but for some reason that equates to ‘doing nothing’. I think because people see Tashigi as interchangeable with any other character she is thus useless because she is not mandatory. However, Tashigi’s role is much more complex than that.

Even if she’s not strong enough to fight the biggest fishes in the pond, she still manages to grow and prove her worth. If Tashigi was replaced with any generic marine captain a lot of what happened would be different. It was Tashigi who identified Wado Ichimonji and Sandai Kitetsu for Zoro, Tashigi who (albeit reluctantly) directed Luffy to Crocodile, Tashigi who kept the Straw Hats safe from arrest in Alabasta, Tashigi who convinced Smoker that he needed to swallow his pride and side with Law and Luffy to stop Ceasar and it was Tashigi who convinced Nami to entrust the Punk Hazard children to them. Through her experiences she also cultivates her own unique sense of Justice. While she follows Smoker’s doctrine of ‘A Pirate will always be a Pirate’ and that the Shichibukai system and the World Government as a whole is flawed, she has also learned for herself that there are times that pride must be set aside, in a way Tashigi’s sense of Justice has become a combination of Smoker’s and Fujitora’s: in order to rebuild justice, the navy itself must become strong enough to not depend on pirates, but pride cannot supersede the greater good. In addition, implying she does nothing also implies that she doesn’t practice her own sense of justice either. She stepped in on Zoro twice to protect her men from harm, before even arriving at Punk Hazard we learned that she had a good relationship with the parents who had their children kidnapped as they asked specifically for her which in turn led her to personally strive to reunite the children with their parents and she even protected the truth of Vergo from G-5 so that they didn’t feel betrayed and demoralized. Of the things Tashigi does, nothing is not one of them, she displays compassion, fairness and determination in definitive moments. Argument 3: She’s too hung up on her Feminism

So, one of the major dynamics of Tashigi and Zoro is her misconception that Zoro wouldn’t cut her because she was a woman, a belief that women have to prove themselves more to be seen as strong against men being one of the beliefs she shares with Zoro’s childhood rival Kuina. While it can be a tad irksome that she’d hang onto this with Zoro, until Monet Zoro never actually demonstrated the contrary to her. This is mainly a complaint by hindsight, we only dislike the opinion because we’ve seen Zoro more than Tashigi has, and she’s not 100% wrong, Zoro himself has been a bit of a traditionalist, in Skypeia he angrily chastised Enel for attacking Robin since she was a woman, and he only does step in on Monet to save Tashigi - not even finishing her off despite being very capable of doing so. Outside of Zoro, Tashigi’s feelings that she gets treated differently due to her gender is proven and reflected in how G-5 treat her with little authority, only really listening to her because she’s pretty. You can’t be too hard on Tashigi given that she is constantly faced with this truth on a daily basis, and her desire to be seen for her strength and skills are still an amicable one, it’s worth noting that even Law recognized that her mentality and warrior’s spirit was far greater than he swordsmanship, but he only thought this internally. In Tashigi’s case it would help her confidence to be given validation, and not in the condescending way Zoro usually talks to people.  While it can be annoying that she immediately thinks that she’s being treated differently because she’s a woman, this also shows that she wants to be treated as an equal; if she is defeated in combat she wants to be cut to preserve her honour, it is the mentality all Great Samurai have, including Zoro. Oda does something with Tashigi he rarely does with any woman in One Piece in making her less sexualised and body-confident to reflect her goal of being recognized by her spirit and actions rather than her appearance, but he also makes that complex for the character which in a way this is most important for.

Argument 4: She’s not a good Rival for Zoro

I think one of the biggest misconceptions about Tashigi’s character is that she is meant to be Zoro’s rival, in a similar manner to how Smoker and Luffy are embroiled in a Garp/Roger-esque cat and mouse chase. Because of this, people expect Tashigi to advance at a similar scale to Zoro to keep him on his toes, to make sure that he doesn’t end up complacent in his strive to become the World’s Greatest Swordsman. Her former likeness to Kuina also adds to this misconception, since because Kuina was Zoro’s rival with the same goal and always stronger than Zoro himself, Tashigi must be similar.

But this is not why Tashigi and Zoro are always put together. Tashigi is not Zoro’s rival, no other character we’ve met has the same goal as Zoro, and this keeps his story free to develop with different challenges. Tashigi’s pursuit of strength is not for the same reasons as Zoro, she doesn’t want to be the World’s Greatest Swordsperson, she only wants to protect the sanctity of the Meito and keep them out of unworthy hands. Her pursuit of Zoro was both because he dishonoured her in their fight and so she could claim Wado Ichimonji. In the New World however we don’t see that as much from Tashigi, even when she sees Shusui she doesn’t make a point to declare taking it from him because he’s unworthy (like Kin’emon would later do), this is because she does acknowledge his strength and worthiness of using these Meito, her personal conflict now though is to be seen as worthy to him as a swordsperson rather than a pirate to a marine.  In reality, Tashigi is instead Zoro’s and Kuina’s foil. She is similar in looks and perspective to Kuina but different in everything else from clumsiness, skill and ambition, the fact that Zoro struggles to handle this leads to the two becoming entwined in their respective journeys. No person gets under Zoro’s skin like Tashigi does, even to a point where he was reluctant to even be in eyeshot of her - how many people have you seen Roronoa Zoro hide from? They are each other’s foil because they are both stubborn people out to prove something but put on two different sides that conflict. That is the true purpose of their dynamic, their confrontations expose one another and show places where they can still grow and I still feel that we haven’t scratched the surface of this relationship.

Argument 5: She’s not Important

A combination of the earlier arguments, Tashigi gets a lot of flack because people think she’s not important enough as a character to have the screentime she gets. While it’s not hard to see why people feel that, it usually comes with people giving up on the idea that there’s a greater plan for her. It may just be me, but I am reluctant to believe that Tashigi appears in several forms of merchandise including calendars, games (as NPCs, Bosses, Supports or playable characters) and even figurines and not have a purpose in the greater scope of the story, do we really expect that from Oda? I doubt that very much! Granted, Wano would’ve been a perfect placement for her to push herself given the views on women in the country and it being the homeland of famous Meito. And yes, she could’ve had a much greater role in Stampede given how well they managed Smoker in it. We are allowed to be disappointed by this, but the fact that Tashigi has remained as consistent in presence as she has been in the show does hint at a bigger role, even if it’s being that wave of revolutionizing the Marines with Coby and Fujitora, her own origins or finally proving herself to the audience and to Zoro, Tashigi is not done and thus she is still important. “Just because they say a bird cannot fly, doesn’t mean that it never will” - Oda SBS 17 on Tashigi and Kuina’s names being named after flightless birds So, Why does Tashigi deserve more Respect? Tashigi as a character is one of Oda’s more subtle progressions. In contrast to Zoro who we see grow, we don’t see how Tashigi gets from A to B, we can also contrast to Coby whose rise becomes as magnificent as his puberty that Tashigi’s growth is much less abrupt and more steady, we see her struggles more than we do Coby where his successes are only heard in passing. Tashigi can also act as the ‘normal person’ in the marines, we compare her to Zoro in strength because she uses a sword but we never give her the benefit of the doubt that Roronoa Zoro is a bloody superhuman, plus not everyone has the great luxury of being trained by Dracule Mihawk for 2 years...furthermore, her challenges against Devil Fruit users are always filled with good intentions and strong willpower, but still self-doubt and shame, if anything Tashigi is one of the most human characters of One Piece for this reason; she learns, she suffers, she grows and she does it all without the luxury of Shonen perks such as superhuman power or endurance. Also she is a good person, she has a strong sense of morality and will, an altruistic desire and even in the situation she gets put in she makes a step that leads to the plot going in a positive direction. And for a character that has been in as many arcs as she has, there is still so much potential left to be untapped that fans are still after 2 decades eager to see from her.

Tashigi is a strong, valiant and just person, who is still really powerful if people stop trying to compare her to the likes of Luffy, Law and Zoro. Even when she fails she picks herself up and can still come out with a small victory from protecting innocents, arresting criminals and escorting children to get help. She is a lot stronger than people give her credit for and it’s for that she deserves respect.
