Has anyone else notice that Robin hasnt faced off with anyone yet. In almost every arc after she joined the SH crew, she hasnt faced off with any "bosses" yet. I hope she does in this Thriller Bark arc.
Robin hasnt had a battle in several acrs
-
-
Wow. No crap sherlock.
Though she did face a "boss", yama in skypiea.
-
Nami didnt fight any bosses untill she settled her score with Arlong either iirc.
Im confident that Robin will take a more agressive approach in the comming arcs.
comeon she even showed us that cool new wing move of hers. have faith ^^
-
The actual bosses has only Luffy kicked ass on…
But you're right about their henchmen - she has only battled Yama, if we not count her battle against Pell as Miss All Sunday.
However I'm pretty sure she'll face off against Perona
-
hopefully

she battled yama and beat spandaman.She will prbly battle perona
-
Yeah I also realised this with overthrowing sadness!
Poor, poor fanboys =( -
Well, she did fight in Sky Pia and Ennies Lobby was about saving her.
-
Im sure she will get battles in the future arcs.
-
Thriller Bark has a female villain, ergo one of the female Straw Hats will fight her. I think it's Robin's turn to battle, so this time Nami will sit out and be a damsel in distress, do the cooking/cleaning, etc.
-
The reason Robin doesn't fight much is because she's so broken. Except for Logias and invisible men (And the one in this arc is pretty much taken), or being taken by surprise (Taleran, for example), she's pretty much invincible.
Plus, she's had her devil power since she was wee-high, so she probably has full mastery of it.
-
Reason Robin hasn't had a fight:
Fighting isn't the main focus in one piece. O_O
last time she did have one tho, her opponent was no contest for her.
Robin' isn't invincible. She's just good. She has to be as her ability has a major weakness. Damage done to her created limbs affects her main body as well. One wasted fleur against the wrong guy and she's done. (I also imagine that when she loses a limb, or has sever damage done to it, she can't use materialize it,or it would be materialized in it's damages state(broken arm = cien broken fleurs.)

Well, it affects it in a limited sense. In Arabasta, one of her hands got stabbed by someone (I think it was Chaka), and she let go of Cobra after wincing, but there wasn't an actual wound on her real hand. Conversely, though, if her real hand got stabbed, it would probably show on the spawned hand.
You're right, though, she's not invincible. If she can't see her opponent, she can't spawn hands on him. Also, if she can't get a firm grasp (Logia users, Alvida, etc.), then she also can't use her techniques on them. Plus, as I mentioned, if she gets injured, her spawned limbs retract.
Being that she's had her power for at least 20 years, if not more, though, she's pretty much honed them to perfection.

Actually it was one of that Alabastan elite squad who sliced her, forcing her to stop blocking the door to the palace (and the wound did show up on her real hand). Or are you describing something that happened in the not-quite canonical movie 8?

No, I was describing what you were pointing out. On second analysis, I do see the blood dripping from her hand, shown in 196 of the manga.

Despite being the most boring character in the SHs, she's still quite powerful. Far more powerful than the weak trio and close to Franky.
I think having her own fights will strengthen her character a bit. But there's quite a lot of SH members now, do we expect them all to fight individually? Hopefully Usopp and Sanji will team in their next fight, and maybe Chopper and Nami. Zoro and Brooke maybe? But I don't see a swordsman allowing someone to interfere in a duel. But Robin MUST have a one-on-one to save her character from being as lame as it is atm.

I dunno if I really understand where you're coming from. Exactly how is Robin lame? Just because she's not stupid and tries to beat up everyone, that's being lame?
Really, Robin knows pretty much everything that goes on in the One Piece world. She has a wealth of knowledge and the ability to read a forgotten ancient language. She's very powerful with a unique ability. And furthermore, she doesn't live up to the Shonen Cliche of being a loudmouthed and obnoxious or whiny and annoying woman.
I'll never understand people who say a character's "lame" just because they're quiet and keep to themselves.

Let me get this straight she must fight or she is lame.Im just glad character development does not help (sarcasm)

NO WAY!!??has anyone else noticed that the straw hat that luffy always wears is the one shanks gave him in chapter one??!!

One Piece is the hat. Oda told me last night.

Lol I knew people would get offended from my comment.
Let's face it, Robin says little and does little, compared to the other characters in the SH crew. And what she does isn't exactly like "Woah! That's so cool!". Robin is a good person, no doubt, but as a character she isn't really entertaining. She could have the world of knowledge and yet… not be entertaining.
I'm just saying that if Oda gave her a one-on-one fight, we will get more of Robin and she will most likely do something cool, rather than explain stuff all the time.
-
While it wasn't really a fight, Robin attacked Spandam. Her and Franky beat him together.

her hand wings were awesome.
Also she fought in skypiea and was rescued in EL what else do you want from her fanboy ?
-
-
Robin doesn't need battles to be awesome, besides, she suits fighting armies better. AND NO, DO NOT TAKE armies as a shit Robin Arm joke.
-
This forum has too much hate, remind me of WoW forum

Lol, why get all offended by my OPINION? Who's a fanboy again?

She's the 2nd strongest straw hat.
Based on her effectiveness in a fight and the fact that the only person on the crew who can beat her is luffy and his rubber body.

I really wouldn't compare the fighting strength of the straw hats based on how they would do among themselves. She is very experienced but we still have to see what she is able to do since she beat Yama easily. Hopefully we will see her in this arc.
-
Wow, Cheezyazn, I see your years of hard work have paid off, this genius theory… just completely unthought of... Whats the point of this thread? You just state the obvious and then act like we're all blind. Seriously, only someone with a fastly increasing amount of IQ points or someone who doesn't read One Piece and keep up to date would not know this.
-
This post is deleted!
-
Usopp hasn't had a battle that actually counts since Arabasta. He deserves one more than Robin. Especially after all that stupid crap Oda put him through last arc.

Perfection? Full mastery? Sorry, but I'd rather see that myself when she fights in an actual battle by herself. Now when I mean an actual battle I don't mean like that weak exceuse of a fight against Yama at Skypiea, I'm talking about a really serious one-on-one battle against an opponent who's equal to her in almost every way. Honestly, when was the last time we had seen Robin fight someone like that? :getlost:
Now if I remember correctly, the Hana Hana no Mai gives her the ability to "sprout" multiple copies of any part of the body on any surface. So if she really does have full mastery over her powers, then she should be able to create not only copies of her arms, legs, eyes and other parts that we've already seen her create copies of, but also copies of even the smallest parts of her body like a finger, a toe, a mouth, a tooth, a tongue, or even a strand of hair. Heck, she should be able to even create copies of her head if she could. But then again, none of us can be truly sure if she really does have full mastery over her powers unless we see it for ourselves now can we?
-
We basically have no idea what the extent of Robin's powers are, since she doesn't seem very proud of them or keen to show them off. She doesn't seem like the confrontational type, unlike all the rest of the crew (With the possible exception of Chopper, who just seems to get himself into trouble a lot), so she tries to avoid violence- would she really have whaled on Yama so hard if he hadn't destroyed all those ruins?
And yes, everyone calm down. Why is Arlong Park incredibly bitchy these last couple of weeks?

Okay, she can spawn toes and fingers. What's the point of that? Absolutely none. If you recall correctly, she just spawned wings and was able to fly for a limited period of time. Furthermore, she was able to spawn multiple eyes on Luffy's arm and retrieve Usopp from a great distance. Lastly, she was able to spawn arms on Spandam from a very great distance and clutch him with little effort.
You can ask why she can't spawn fingers, toes, mouths, teeth, tongue, or hair, but then you'll realize: It's pointless. The only one of those that would be even remotely practical is hair (for esnaring opponents), but it wouldn't work like you think it would. She can spawn the hair, but she can't do stuff with it like Kumadori. They'd have to literally wander into it to get ensared, and even then, it's a stretch because she could only spawn up to 200 individual strands of hair, which wouldn't even cover your head, much less tangle someone up.
So yeah, think about the stature of limitation here. Saying "She hasn't mastered her powers because she doesn't spawn the tiniest body parts" is just silly.
-
oh i missed that. when did we get to know about the 200 limitation?
-
She hasn't had any fights in a while because the entire CP9 saga was about her and she was the Damsel in Distress the entire time. Other than that, she was a regular crew member before then.
-
Oda-Sensei stated the 200 limit thing in an SBS I believe.
-
well… I think Robin will start to have her 'decent' fight now, because her 'burden' have been lift up. I don't know, it something like a patern that Oda usually used. but, actually I don't have enough ability to noticed those things to comment.
Either way, as a fan, honestly I'm not satisfied with her fight with Yama, it's too short. and I'm a bit dissapointed when Robin didn't fight other person than Spanda in W7 arc (It's her arc!! how come she didn't fight a decent opponent??). but that's what Oda wrote so be it.
so I hope to see her fight in this arc. and.... I think I'm a bit different then other people, cause I don't want to see Robin fight Perona. I want to see her fight a 'certain General Zombie' named Jigoroh XD hahahha hey... somebody can dream right?? XD -

Except that the limit is 200 "Hana Hana", which could mean absolutely anything…

They were both realizing that they have Nakama to count on who can watch thier back, that's why neither of them fought in thier respective arcs. -

…what?
16 characters -
@Mizu:
…what?
16 charactersclick the spoiler. its not part of his sig.
-
You know what? I hope Robin breaks the Neck of Gecko Moria, that over confident lazy thing deserves that much of a painful death, and it would be even more awesome if she did that while being under the effects of Perona's Ghosts, but being serious, it's time for Robin to save Luffy, again!
Well, really, she is the only Strawhat that has Saved the life of Luffy, and after the Gomu-Gomu Powers, her ability is the greatest of the series.
EDIT: Well, not really, but she has done it Twice, unlike Sanji, Zoro or Nami, and when Luffy is actually in a precarious situation, not the stuff of getting drowned because he ate a Devil Fruit.
Did I forget anyone else? Usopp, Chopper, Franky?
-
Gecko Moria would simply sit on Robin and squash her like a bug. She's not worthy of licking the dirt off his ridiculously overproportioned boots.
-
I dont want to see Robin down moria… i want to see brook cut off the shoelaces (or wahtever) on his throat with the arrow notch strike.
btw at the moment i just cant seem to recall but when did robin save Luffys life apart from giving him the antidote to Crocodiles poison?
and why does that count when saveing him from drowning doesnt? -
She saved him from Desert Girasole.
