Why Kizaru is the most TERRIFYING Admiral | One Piece Character Analysis

[@phoenix6048]

This is a great video. Kizaru is light but in reality he is a shadow of nothingness. A normal person can’t be impartial to everything they would feel some emotion in some way. This reminds me of kanjuro who was nothingness but labeled it as an act and died as an actor but in kizarus case he doesn’t have anything to label his actions, his resolve just doesn’t exist as well as his personality. A normal person can’t be this way only a psychopath would share similar attributes.

[@happykiller_codm1159]

Honestly I feel like Kizaru is mostly bored. His devilfruit itself is busted, and I really feel like his haki is at least on par with rest of the Admirals. In my opinion Kizaru is doing same thing as someone who just broke the game and feels basically untouchable: does whatever he needs to, but also gives opponent as much opportunity to stay on battlefield as possible. Killing Luffy would be boring, but destroying the key might be interesting. What he'll do next now? Ace can't escape with handcuffs on either way, so why bother. He is carefree on purpose. He can't be bothered to remember which denden mushi does what. He won't even bother trying to dodge Apoo's attack because it's not like it'll do anything, so why not listen to weird music man? He'll do what he's told, but he'll half ass it on purpose so hard, everyone will be able to tell he doesn't care. And if he'll manage to fail his task somehow? Tough luck, next time won't be so fortunate. Remember, strawhats survived Sabody only because Kuma scattered them all over the world. If they tried to run away in conventional method, I doubt they would be so fortunate. Other supernovas escaped because they weren't the targets, Luffy was. That emotional moment of Strawhats poofing was in fact a moment of them being saved.

[@SimplyKevin]

Great comment, wish I could pin multiple of these. 💯

[@Fex97]

Yes, you perfectly described Kizaru's character. Most ppl don't understand this unfortunately and then they say stuff like Rayleigh is stronger than him just because Kizaru didn't do anything against him. But the reason Kizaru didn't do anything to Rayleigh is because Rayleigh is at a level of power where Kizaru can't simply no diff him but actually has to put in some work and he just couldn't be arsed to do that in that situation.

[@nihili4196]

@@Fex97 also, I am hesitant to even scale Kizaru, as I would argue we haven't really seen him fight. Neither Kizaru, nor Rayleigh were going at it all out, as Rayleigh just wanted to keep Kizaru occupied, and Kizaru wanted to have something interesting to do while he was getting rid of some riffraff pirates that can't even use haki at that point. He could afford few hours of sparring with dark king, why not. Hell, I don't think that neither of them even used any named techniques in that fight, I don't know why people use it to measure both of the characters. This was just a harmless test of strength than proper fight. It was supposed to remind us that Admirals are still a thing, and they're still waaaay out of the reach for strawhats, as it'll take someone worthy of being pirate King's crewmate to even keep one busy. Later Marineford shown us that Admirals are strong but not untouchable. This fight from meta point of view was supposed to hype both characters, not one.

Not only do I think that Kizaru is much more powerful than we are lead to believe, I think he also KNOWS more than we think.

Meaning if Kizaru could awaken his devil fruit, he would be able to see the entire world at once. He would be omnipresent. He knows that the World Goverment is up to, he knows where and what One Piece is. He possesses the ultimate power and knowledge, and he is just sitting back and enjoying the side.

[@Alexandra-vl1us]

The most terrifying aspect of Kizaru is that he prefers to completely destroy his victims' hopes by torturing them psychologically instead of going for the kill and letting them die with dignity. At least Akainu goes straight for the one-hit kill to get the job done quickly without getting pleasure from it, which makes him more methodical and efficient, and kinda humane. (I love both characters btw).

A light speed kick should break the atoms in Urouge's body but Kizaru held himself back so much that it only put him out of commission

Technically, hitting things at the speed of light would pretty much destroy the whole planet, so his powers are nerfed obviously

[@gortmo]

Kizaru's unclear justice doesnt just apply to his sense of justice, it applies to everything about him which applies perfectly to his fruit. When you stare into a bright light, you can't make out anything clear other than blinding light, just like how when you look at Kizaru you can't make out what he feels, whether or not he's with or against the WG, if he's enjoying his fights or if he's just doing them because he's told. Fujitora's justice is blind, but Kizaru's is blinding.

I love how Kizaru views Luffy. Kuzan and Fujitora obviously can see Luffy heroism through his deeds at water 7 and dressrosa. Greenbull and Akainu just hate Luffy's existence.

With the navy being the speartip of the world government, I always had high hopes that Kizaru would turn out to be the worst among the marines, though not open like Akainu, in the shadows of his bright light, aiding the Cipher Pols in the matters aimed against civilians that not even Akainu would have the stomach for. Kizaru has close ties to Vegapunk, he is in charge of the whole Human Weapon project, so I always envisioned him to turn into a Mengele kind of character, someone who tortured and sacrificed countless people for the sake of power, progress and control, abusing Vegapunks intellect into pushing these goals forward no matter the cost as he plays the almost lethargic guy for the outside world. The fact that they did not properly position Kizaru yet and fleshed him out far less than the other high ranking marines, all while letting him come out completely unharmed despite clashing with Whitebeard himself as well as his right hand man, and him actually suggesting that he could go to Wano to "deal" with the whole Kaido and Big Mom alliance when a single emperor was enough for Akainu to almost soil his pants, makes me believe that they have planned something greater for him than him just being a mindless soldier.

Kizaru reminds me a lot of Gin from Bleach. His morals seem to place him at odds with the protagonists, and his behavior make him appear manipulative and deceptive at best or sadistic and cruel despite his genial appearance (compared to Akainu and the Gorosei at least). Even his methods for handling the Supernovas and Strawhat crew ring similar to the way Gin handled all of his fights: Given his speed, skill, and weapon; almost every fight Gin was ever seen in could've been ended before the target knew what was happening. But Gin rarely went for a kill shot when he had the opportunity on anything but a Hollow. From the outside; this looks like he wants to make his opponents suffer or he has some similarities to Zaraki in that he nerfs himself to enjoy the fight more. Later on we see that part of the reason for this is Gin was always working to his own, ultimately altruistic (if selfish and circuitous) ends; and one of the reasons he seems to spare those he fights with is because his goals gain nothing by their death. OR, like with his own protagonist character he seemingly goes all out to display the sheer gulf that exists between them as a reality check or a form of motivation for them. Look at what he says to Luffy after giving him a near one hit KO. He pretty much says: "At the end of the day, I can kill you whenever the fancy strikes me and there's nothing you can do about it with your current level of strength." Right now; Kizaru is a fixed point for anyone who views the Marines or the World Government as a whole as opposition. He's a fact of life; if you want to act in opposition to the WG, you'll need the strength to surpass a man who can move at the speed of light.

Kizaru is potentially the strongest in one piece due to his speed of light powers. He has never shown his strength in the mange yet he has been holding back significantly when he goes on the attack. If he got serious and used his speed of light kick he could destroy anything due to the mass behind that speed. Any FTL attack he put serious effort in would be crazy powerful. The only real thing that stops him is he is lazy and doesn’t put any real effort into what he does.

[@a1racer441]

You made some good points as well he clearly doesn’t care what he does or who he does it to. Kizaru has always been my favorite admiral with Fujitora a super close second as they both are interesting don’t do what you expect of them and are super strong. It’s pretty obvious if kizaru did go hostile or rage mode it’s unrealistic that anybody can stop him short of maybe a top 5 strongest person so potentially kiado big mom akinu or a combo of several stronger people combined.

[@anderislfstaff99]

Tbh i feel like this video would make more sense if it was named "is kizaru a psychopath" sociopaths aren't blood thirsty they just lack empathy but all the points in the video still stand

[@Selet101]

I feel it's a little more simple than you think. Kizaru lives life at light speed. His brain is hardwired to not overload from being able to do so. Every second for him seems like literal hours if not days for everyone else inside his mind. He forces himself to go slow to try and reconnect to being a normal person which he can never go back to unless he locks himself up in sea prism stone. Him waiting those couple extra seconds as if taunting someone could very easily just be him forcing his brain to slow down to try and attempt to understand how normal people operate. He doesn't realize or even understand that what he's doing could be perceived as cruel, because 1 second or 10 seconds are both such long periods of time, he's probably already forgot the initial point he was trying to make by the time he actually does it due to him forcing himself to go slow. On the other hand, it could also be exactly as you say and he's trying to see how people react. To try and attempt to understand normal people once again. He just follows orders as given because he doesn't understand the importance of what is going on around him any longer. People are moving so slowly they appear to be stationary to his eyes. He leaves the decision making to others, because to him, nothing is happening in front of his eyes that seems wrong. The world is at a stand still, and it's just different beings standing there doing nothing. Like with Sabaody. By the time he arrived, he had already forgot why he was going there to begin with. He was just messing around and observing the super novas to attempt and understand them and figure out if what they're doing is right or wrong. He could easily be thousands if not tens of thousands of years old mentally, and him learning about Justice and preserving the peace could have been in his mind thousands upon thousands of years ago. And he just doesn't understand them any longer. So he waits for those that he trusts to give him directions so he doesn't have to try and work those things out himself. This leans heavily on his apathy as well. Emotions come and go faster than anyone else can perceive. When it comes to reacting to his emotions, it just comes out as complete apathy because he's gone through the entire spectrum of emotions in less than a fraction of a second. So once his mouth catches up to his brain, he's already had time to hyper-analyze everything about it, and is bored of the subject, and is just explaining what he went through mentally to try and reconnect to being a normal human being. Which just ends up seeming like he's mocking everyone and everything. Kizaru is 100% the most dangerous and scary out of all of the Admirals, possibly anyone in anime at all to be honest, but it's all a result of him losing himself in the sands of time that rolls through his head.

[@Unnecessarilylongexplanations]

He's so terrifying and evil, and directly involved in hurting a lot of favorite characters - and yet I still love him just because of his character

[@sunlight_alliance]

This was such a solid analysis! The animation was on point too!

[@ZorimePati]

Wonder if you'll make an updated video after the latest chapter

[@bullymaguire9447]

Simply Kevin ur vids are becoming better day by day keep doing this and you’ll become a top one piece KZbinr like glr Ohara. Hi big fan here and hope you get 100 k subs

[@jakethedog97]

I don't think Oda himself thought too deeply about Kizaru. He probably said, 'Let's create an admiral with light powers. Hmm, how about a face like Kunie Tanaka's, and let me give him the personality of that character.' The rest of the storyline likely developed naturally.

[@malikfloyd-adkins6914]

When ever I see this man I’m always going to be thinking about this theory

[@austinmorrison6953]

I just had such a hard time getting a beat on Kizaru. But now that you’ve explained it, yeah he definitely is one of the scariest

[@cyberquiz4661]

I think one reason kizaru has never truly gone the speed of light is because he can’t even keep up with his ability, no human even in that world could keep up with light, he wouldn’t be able to go that fast

[@AM-ee2ro]

Tbh could you imagine how dreadful it could be to be light, it wouldn’t be too hard to think your god at that point able to destroy anything, so much so that you have no enemies anymore, you have no need to be scared or angry anymore, after killing so many people like stepping on ants you get bored of killing people who curse you. You feel zero emotion now, to the point where you’d become sociopathic, murder is boring and people dying is boring, but instilling fear on others and watching people lose all hope? That becomes your last form of mental stimulation. Indeed it could get real dark having such an overpowered power. Thank fuck one piece isn’t the real world!

[@44harbordale44]

I remember when I first saw him , I too read him as simply a laid back easy going , the one most likely to let you off simply for not wanting to put in the effort. Until he pulled up on Saba Odey ( forgive the spelling I've never had to type the name ) old man had me shooketh 👀

[@jericoaricayos9725]

Man you deserve hundreds of thousands if not millions of sub for this really well made video I love your production. And I love Kizaru!

[@MyLittleMagneton]

I think there's some intention behind the admirals personalities being the opposite of their abilities. Cold hearted with Magma powers; ice powers, but with a warm personality; and fast light-powers for someone with a slow and unphased personality.

[@GregoryMom]

Then there's Blackbeard. Slow, somewhat unintuitive dark powers for someone with a blatantly outward, violent personality..

[@bloodlove93]

that's my favorite thing about him,he's in between everything, he has a unique perspective into multiple sides,not fully being in either...i understand that all too well,because i score just several points short of officially being a type one psychopath, test has total of 40 points,30 to qualify, I'm in the 20,s,average is 2-8.....suffice to say,my mindset and temperament are very different from most and my opinions and ways of doing things differs greatly from others, i have many tendencies which even without trying or wanting i kinda end up lying and manipulating people for my benefit. but I'm better than i used to be in my teens and early twenties...yikes...i was...awful,did so much to so many...so much taken,lost,relationships made and broken,families torn apart.....i used to really screw with people and make them change how they live...it's surprisingly easy...which is why i had to teach myself restraint and not forcefully move people and reality around me. too much...

[@TheWhiskySix]

The ever so easily forgotten 4th monkey "Do no Evil" wasnt considered in the arguement.

[@R_o_o_k_i_n_g_t_o_n]

sociopaths and psychopaths arent inherently bloodthirsty but rather simply in a sociopaths case for example, if they dont have a deep connection to you or know you than they will likely not care about you and this goes for literally anything with essentially to sum it up more clearly, sociopaths have a hard time making deep connections or caring about connections at all while psychopaths are people who are incapable of making such connections and feeling anything for anyone.

[@k3lixz]

If Kizaru Fruit actually worked liked it would work in real life there would be no point in the marine fort war since him himself would be able to launch a nuclear attack with just one kick

[@user-ms5tq1dh7i]

Lmao if he truly accelerates his kick to the speed of light, that would also destroy reality

[@randonumba]

i like to think that kizaru knows how op he is as light itself so he just purposefully nerfs himself so he doesnt cause too much damage to his surroundings (example is him destroying the sabaody tree with one kick)

[@francescocalvi7096]

The clip where Kizaru kicks luffy into whitebeard seemed more like an attempt to save him. I suspect he may have had a mutual agreement with Kuma when he saved them, but had to keep up an image for the world order. Kizaru playing around with enemies just seems like a more jaded thing from having fought for so many years. If he has a side agenda for them surviving, maybe he wants to give them a chance to grow without being too soft on them in these moments

[@DesnestheDwarf]

This is awesome! I will never see Kizaru the same way xD

[@fleshizweak5864]

The way you described him as a sadistic person that plays on the mental of people is sooo cool ! First vid i see on your channel and it's already god-mode.

[@mauv_o9023]

A bit off topic but your voice is so calm and it’s really relaxing to hear I like watching your stuff keep it up

[@lxfj2128]

Great video. Kizaru my favourite admiral easily, absolute odd guy though and always neutral eg telling akainu to just melt the ice,praising luffy for getting a 1 billion bounty in front of fleet admiral akainu . Futhermore like in sabaody when he could have killed the supernova but just left them on the floor. He could have killed luffy in marineford so many times for example like u said shooting the key and instead of killing him he lectured luffy then just kicked him into Whitebeard. Another time is when he just kicks luffy and says back to the start instead of killing him. With his unclear justice and sircastic trolling attitude and acts like he’s braindead at times, there must be something more to him. Kizaru is shown holding books in both his childhood drawing yet he’s appears to be dumb . he also always says everything is scary when he’s not scared at all. Not to important but I find it funny that he’s the only friend akainu has, as their vivre cards says they go way back having joined the marines together and we can see them hanging out off work in the cover shot, and their on screen interactions is rather friendly for akainu . This one is a theory but kizaru seems to have a connection to vegapunk I know we all know the theories on this one . Nevertheless Absolute fascinating character.

[@Tensaroxx]

he is like fujitora but cut all the sentimentality its just curiosity of seeing how fate plays out but also bcuz he's untouchable bcuz of his own strength

[@CorazonLaw1]

This is amazing. We got another Morj in our hands. Wow. Hope you do more analysis videos. 🔥🔥

[@grandadoboman1995]

He sang Pen Pineapple Apple Pen. He's cool.

[@MisterPrince01]

Amazing analysis and theory on Kizaru. If this is true, he's honestly a lot more interesting than I thought. Imagine if he was fighting seriously all the time. I don't doubt he's Sakazuki and Aokijis equal.

[@mc10016]

Imagine this theory : kizaru's fruit is not the fruit of light but mirrors Kizaru has Always felt like a mafia boss to me. These gang leaders dont dirty their hands, they use influence, réputation, manipulation and so on I Can clearly picture kizaru atop of a Battlefield, pupetting the whole fight, seamingly teleporting all around the place Furthermore, it would make him even scarier, and give him a flaw allowing him to be beaten, cause how do you even hurt someone coing to thé speed of light? In my eyes it would serve the caracter ans the cenario at the same time Thanks for Reading the poor english of a belgian !

[@TheChuckfuc]

I always thought that he was a psychopath. He seems to really enjoy toying with his enemies before disposing of them. Like a cat playing with a mouse before it gets bored and kills it or let's it go. I think its just that simple. He's stronger than most people. He knows it and enjoys it.

[@Tuckfern]

this is why kizaru was my fav character

[@gfNutt]

Meanwhile in 2024 we see a different side of Kizaru that might be hinting at him changing sides.

[@BreakingTheGleipnir]

I always wondered how an undetermined or unclear person like Kizaru became as strong as he is right now. Usually theres need for a great motivator to achieve such power levels, yet Kizaru doesnt seem to have them.

[@TuxTuxedo-oc9kg]

I think in Kizaru's case it's "curious justice". He enjoys the moment but if he get's distracted he wants to see what happened.

[@Nulrom]

Kizaru has, on paper, the strongest power. Remember that electricity makes you a God BUT rubber is your weakness? That has no weakness. Maybe the fact that he can be reflected but if I see someone fighting him with a mirror, well, that's bullshit.

[@vatarants]

Is it possible if Kizaru is one of Luffy's secret supporter? It made no sense to shoot key instead of Luffy in marineford. let Luffy ran everywhere when he can interrupt him any time at speed of light. And it made no sense to let everyone live in that island.

[@stephengarforth2753]

i legit thought kizaru was modelled after adam sandler

[@Sernival]

Baka gaijin

[@Big_Pudim]

Amazing video, love that borderlands 2 menu theme

[@jessiesargent7212]

I think Akainu and his replacement Green Bull are both "See no evil" while Aokiji and Fujitora are both "speak no evil". Aokiji saw soo much evil that when he wasn't able to change the organization he worked for, he chose to leave so at least he wouldn't be forced into speaking more evil. Fujitora and Aokiji saw and heard soo much evil that one left the navy and the other is actively trying to change the system from the inside. Akainu and plantface don't see their actions as bad so they have no problem speaking evil into the world.

[@RpgBlasterRpg]

Kizaru: Ohhh, how scarryyy

[@yinyangyt8749]

Kizaru always felt very laid back. But it always feels like he is more powerful than he seems. But it’s clear he doesn’t seem to care about others. He could be more powerful than Akainu for all we know

[@theultimaterich6302]

Putting the borderlands 2 title theme in the background is crazy

[@Sophia-sh1ky]

Bosarlino always struck me as the middle ground of all the admirals, not just the Logia 3, Part of the reason these guys got such high rankings in the marines was these 3, akainu, aokiji, and kizaru, all had logia type devil fruits, the magma-magma no mi, the ice-ice no ki, and the jewel-jewel no mi (its the light fruit but kizarus powers are based on the 3 sacred treasures of japan so jewel is more fitting) and its almost treated like this was a massive oversight from the marines and world government at the time, because during that particular time in one piece when they were fully introduced, people were discussing the strongest types of devil fruit, and logia was a huge contender for it due to their inheirent invulnerability to strikes not infused with haki. So its entirepy possible that these 3 got their rankings purely because the marines thought they possesed the strongest fruits in the order and no other reason. And because of how desperate the marines arw and how little they think about the consequences of their actions as long as it serves Imu's ultimate interests in some way. So letting a psychopathic murderer *cough* Akainu *cough* into the marines is entirely possible. While kizaru has always acted the coldestest and most uncaring out of any of the marines we see (look akainus a bastard, but that one scene with hawkin's/uruge's man shooting at him then getting gunned down without kizaru even looking? That was cold) I think if you were to line every admiral up from most relaxed sense of justice to most zealotous, kizaru would end up right in the middle as true nuetral. With garp and fujitora somewhere on either side of him. I think kizaru is meant to be the guy just doing a job and trying to find entertainment in it at the same time. It aint anyrhing really more than that, he dosnt care about justice, or injustice, he just cares about staying busy and not going bored

[@wifi961]

You should do a follow-up video after Egg Head.

[@Borax_Sensei]

0:01 it means killing your on ally without mercy

[@starboy693]

He’s the definition of “Good soldiers follow orders.”

[@EliteSax79]

I have been a huge fan of Kizaru for so long and have watched tons of videos like this on him to help me understand him better. But this by far is the best video I've seen about him keep up the great work man were all rooting for you!

[@The-Black-Death]

No joke, for the longest time now, I've always considered this character to be unironically Autistic, and I still do! It would explain A LOT about him.

[@GreySporeWolf]

I think your idea on the "Unclear Justice" is spot on. Kizaru clearly isn't trying as hard as he could almost like he wants to see how fate plays out. If you look at current events in the manga in Egghead Island, with Sentimaru seemingly trusting Luffy, it really makes me hyped to see what Kizaru does this time around sense he is Sentimaru uncle and they both clearly have some sort of relationship with Vegapunk.

[@milhouse901]

Cool video. I love him and there's a lot of potential for his character, as with a lot of one piece characters. Just hope Oda finds the time and place to fulfill them

[@gw7120]

Kizaru is the only Admiral to be shown having Family member , in the Navy as well , sentamaru who calls him uncle , I always took notice of that

[@yusufsoysuren315]

i can imagine Kizaru retiring, going to some random island in the new world and opening a weed bakery, making drinks and treats infused with that good good

[@zurimoore2545]

Kizaru is one bad dude can,t wait to see him in more action

[@r.t4130]

This is EXACTLY how i felt about him for yeeeaars..such a deep analysis!

[@ichikanozomi2978]

we need to see his childhood and what made him what he is today same with sakazuki heck kuzan to

[@antoniocorsetti3222]

Lmao I laughed when it was just the stone statue for no reason 0:30

[@Sub_Giga_Chad]

Kizaru's mind is represented by his brand of justice it's always unclear, nice video man

[@godganjistreeoflife3722]

I appreciate the amount of indepth research this guy committed to make this video.
