Funny
Nami: "Why are you still in your wedding dress? Lmao, do you still think he's going to marry you after all you've put us through!"
Sanji: "I mean..."
Nami: "Sanji!"
Pudding will jump on Nami's throat faster than Carrot jumping at Luffy's throat for eating her carrots.
Next arc
Zolo: hey who's this broad and where's nami
Luffy: what are you talking there is no person name nami and this is pudding she's been with us since the beginning what a dummy Zolo

Just watched 802... it's insane that they actually censored the Cosette scene. They can show men and boys bloody, swollen and disfigured, but a battered woman crosses the line.
I'm going to laugh when they show child Sanji being brutalized next week with zero censorship. The double standard is maddening.

Tfw Cosette probably got roughed up more than the other female characters aside from Big Mom lol
Tashigi got bit by Monet.
I guess that's something, but still not even close to the beating that male characters get in the series.
Ironically I didn't see Monet getting cut in half by Zoro as that violent considering he didn't actually do anything other than psyche her out.
No. She didn't even actually take damage from that, she just pissed herself.

With a swollen face? Never.
Oda is a pretty firm believer that preserving a woman's beauty is paramount. He crossed an unprecedented line for himself with Cosette, only for the anime directors to nullify it.
Thank God that Aho Girl is airing this season to balance things out. Acting like women's faces can't get messed up, whether for comedy or for drama, is some seriously old school sexism.
It's so dumb too, since it ain't even a One Piece durability thing, considering all the damage Usopp has taken throughout the series despite him being weak af.
"For the sake feminism and ending sexism we demand women to be tortured and beaten to death until they are coughing blood and organs, women rights damn it"
I think we can count Big mom now depending on how injured she is
Name did got skewered by nail girl in the manga, can't remember anime

I'm not sure if you're just being facetious, but I would like to see more equality in not just how people in the series recieve wounds, but also how they're depicted.
Cosette is nothing but a victim. She's only in the story so she can helplessly get roughed up so Sanji can have his little moment of righteous rage against his shitty brothers. Cosette's swollen face and missing teeth are for Sanji's benefit. All Cosette gets out of it is victimization.
Meanwhile, male wounds are a matter of pride. Why does Luffy have that scar around his eye? Because he self inflicted it because he wanted to look tough. Scarred male characters are perceived as figures of strength. And when male characters carry wounds, it's usually because it was a self sacrifice at worst, or a mark that they rose up to a challenge that they didn't overcome, but they survived. Good examples are Zoro's scar from Mihawk, or even Luffy's from Akainu. Or how the narration talked about Whitebeard's wounded body in reverence and admiration.
Even moving away from scars, think about Zoro's scene with Kuma. The fact that he willingly submitted to extraordinary pain is depicted as noble and awesome. That Zoro could withstand that much pain is cool.
And I don't oppose this style of narration because....well, I agree with it. I am fully behind depicting suffering as a positive in the right circumstances. Self sacrifice, going the distance, facing death with dignity, I like all that.
No one wants just torture porn to include women. That's dumb. But yeah, it would be cool to see a female character as strong specifically because they faced an opponent or trial that left their body damaged, and have that be depicted as them being badass rather than victims.
I'm obviously joking there and I agree with this thread
Yeah, I figured. I just wanted to write that out because it's an issue that's deeper than the simple issue of whether you visually see a female character being damaged.
double checked that scene in the anime. She got cut in the face as well.
Also Robin got skewered in the back too.
But yeah, Oda really doesn't like hurting women most of the time.
Every time this subject gets brought up, I always remember this scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yinAhVAQWIg
What happened to Nami I wonder, completely forgot, too lazy to look it up

Very well said. Couldn't agree more
Brulee also has a prominent facial scar.
We should always laugh at Zoro.

To be clear: Women who aren't conventionally attractive don't count and never have. Oda has always been fine with beating up women who are old or ugly, because their value is no longer in their beauty.
This is why Alvida could get knocked around by Luffy when she was obese, but is now most often seen lounging around after eating a slimming devil fruit. It's why Big Mom and Hancock's Sisters can get into blood-boiling melees while Pudding and Hancock herself are defeated by love.
To make a beautiful woman ugly, even for an instant, is seen as a cardinal sin in Oda's eyes. This is why you'll never see Nami as a victim of the same sort of slapstick comedy she inflicts on her male crewmates.
What sucks the most is that, because so many people idolize Oda and are inspired by OP, his values will become their values and we'll end up with yet another era of uninteresting women in anime. Just as Goku led to 20+ years of idiot protagonists with hearts of gold.
Err, OP women having a vast disparity in terms of getting roughed up like her male counterparts doesn't make them uninteresting though.
Feels like it makes more sense to say there's a likelihood of there being a generation where they'll make female characters who rarely suffer any real harm.

Oh please, you're going to look at the anime/manga market and seriously say Oda is the purveyor of uninteresting, one dimensionally written women?

Sorry for the double post, but Funimation has confirmed they're simulcasting the episode of east blue special
It checks out.
It definitely could be real. I wish we actually knew what the will of the D was and why some are born with it.

I'll take "will to take down a corrupt government passed down through generations" over, say, the reincarnation of an ancient Pirate God.
or something.
Fine....
Considering there's several pirates with the D name, and there's top-tier Yonko without it, I guess it could easily not be some thing that only Luffy can do I guess, guess we'll see.
There is that whole Demons v. Celestial Dragons thing though I suppose.
