“He reminds me a bit of Kaido”: Eiichiro Oda Has Fooled us All With Loki as We Wait For the Reveal of Another OP Character in Elbaf Arc

The second phase of the finale saga in One Piece has yet again brought a stunning twist to the narrative that was unexpected by fans. This time, the twist involves the potential antagonist of the Elbaf arc, Loki. It looks like Loki might make an appearance in One Piece chapter 1130, and Eiichiro Oda might have fooled us all with the early silhouette of the character that was shown in the series.

Although Loki has not made a proper appearance in the One Piece storyline, fans got to see his physical structure through a silhouette during the Whole Cake Island arc. However, according to recent spoilers of the upcoming chapter, he does not look like his silhouette at all. In fact, he feels even more dangerous and gives a feel of Kaido from Wano.

Plus, he is a giant, which makes him even more menacing than other One Piece characters. If he truly is the main villain of the Elbaf arc, then his revelation will be legendary, and he will join the ranks of one of the best-written characters in the entire series.

Loki’s Initial Appearance Was Too Goofy

Loki is the prince of Elbaf, and his status allows him to control an entire fleet of giants, which makes him one of the most powerful characters in the entire series. He is 63 years old, and according to Giant’s age, he still might be a young individual. However, when he first made his debut in Chapter 858, he did not look like other giants.

Although Oda only revealed his silhouette, he had a goofy look that degraded his status as the prince of the giants. He was shown as a large giant who has seemingly long hair. He had a tall crown on his head that was the representation of his status as a prince. He wore a loose tunic, which was a hint towards their connection to Norse mythology, boots, and a long cape.

While this look is quite common within the giant community in One Piece, Oda usually makes them look dangerous by giving them terrifying physical structures. But this was not the case with Loki. He looked quite simple and lean, which was unexpected for the prince of Elbaf.

Eiichiro Oda Fooled Us All

According to the brief summary spoilers of One Piece chapter 1130, Loki might finally make an official appearance in the story. The spoilers reveal that Loki killed his father to get hold of a legendary Devil Fruit, and supposedly he is tied to a tree. The spoilers also reveal that he looks nothing like the silhouette that was shown during the Whole Cake Island arc.

In fact, he looks like a combination of Kaido and Katakuri, two of the most dangerous-looking characters of One Piece.

If the spoilers are true and Loki does have a menacing appearance, it will be confirmed that once again Eiichiro Oda has fooled us all. He initially made Loki look goofy to make him look even more terrifying during his official introduction.

One Piece fans should get ready for another terrifying character, who not only possesses an acclaimed Devil Fruit but also has a menacing appearance. Loki’s character has been much awaited by fans, and it looks like they will finally receive what they were hoping for in a One Piece villain.
