One Piece: Eiichiro Oda May Have Hid a Heartbreaking Detail in Garp vs Kuzan That’s Going to Hit Like Bajrang Gun

In the enigmatic world of Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece, Monkey D. Garp is a name that would strike fear in the hearts of the greatest pirates who have ever set sail on the Blue Sea. He has served the Marines for several decades, ensuring justice by putting the pirates behind bars.

Despite being such a noble figure, he has the most tragic fate that any character could ask for. The Vice Admiral’s family is full of criminals; his son, Monkey D. Dragon, is the leader of the Revolutionary Army, and his two grandsons, Luffy and Ace, became notorious pirates. That was not all because, in the Marineford Arc, he saw his adoptive grandson, Ace, die right in front of him.

To think that this was enough tragedy for a character was a mistake because, in the recent arc, the Egghead Island arc, the Hero of the Marines was forced to battle his first pupil, Aokiji. Interestingly, Oda-Sensei has hidden a tragic detail that will break the hearts of the fans.

Eiichiro Oda Might Have Hid The Most Tragic Detail in Garp vs. Kuzan’s Duel

Monkey D. Garp is easily one of the strongest characters in Eiichiro Oda’s magnum opus, and the raid conducted on Hachinosu showcased his power. The raid was important as he defied the orders and saved his subordinate from the Blackbeard Pirates. In the process, he led to some iconic moments in the anime, as fans can’t get enough of his Galaxy Impact.

Following the attack, the Vice Admiral challenged every member of the Blackbeard Pirates at the same time and defeated them. However, fans were in for a surprise as they learned that Kuzan, the 10th Titanic, was the former Vice Admiral.

The revelation led to a fierce showdown, where glimpses from the past were shown and how close the superior and his pupil were. This not only made the battle more emotionally engaging but also added a layer of depth to the plot as well.

Though Garp appeared to have an upper hand in the majority of the battle, trickery from his foes led to Shiryu stabbing the Marine. Kuzan quickly leveled the battlefield as he froze Garp using his Devil Fruit powers. In the manga, there have been several instances where the real intention of Aokiji was showcased to the readers.

However, in r/OnePiece another hidden detail is shown, which breaks the fans’ hearts a little more. The storyline keeps under wraps if Garp is alive, and the real intention of Aokiji is hidden as well. Hence, they called this battle to be the most painful after “sanji vs luffy in whole-cake Island.”

The user mentioned how they feel empathy for the veteran Marin, who has endured so much hardship in one lifetime, and as if that was not enough, the minor flashbacks during their fights keep making the fight more gut-wrenching to read.

They further wrote that the manga allegedly added the “insanely sad detail” where Kuzan froze his superior’s tears and made the fight much more than a rescue mission.

One Piece Fans Sob Uncontrollably With Oda-Sensei’s Hidden Detail

As fans know, in the epic climax of their battle, Aokiji froze Garp and was later shown shackled in a dungeon. This detail by Eiichiro Oda showcased how even in the most epic of battles, emotions tend to hold back the fiercest of warriors.

However, fans were impressed with the mangaka, as they relived the emotional scenes that made them tear up. As a result, the comment section was full of comments that talked about the moving detail in their face-off. They commented,

Nevertheless, the fans were amazed at how legendary this fight has been, as they easily put this in their top 5 fights in the entire series, and the emotional touch just adds another level of detail to it.
