Discussion Akainu

[paradoxe]

Admiral Akainu (赤イヌ大将, Akainu Taishō) is an Admiral in the world of One Piece, one of only three to hold such a position and subordinate only to Fleet Admiral Sengoku.

He was known as Vice Admiral Sakazuki before his promotion. He was present at the Ohara incident, being one of the five vice-admirals, leading the Buster Call offensive. He ordered the destruction of an evacuation ship of civilians and soldiers, claiming it needed to be destroyed in case a single scholar managed to sneak on board (an action that horrified even Spandine). His entire face is not seen during his appearance, as it is hidden by his cap, but he seems to look like an ordinary marine. He believes in "Absolute Justice", which is against Aokiji's way of thinking.

“ If you are going to do a job, do it thoroughly. If even a single scholar managed to sneak on board, all the sacrifices made today would have been wasted. Evil must be completely eradicated."
Akainu's view on destroying the ship.

I know we don't know enough information about Akainu to fathom even an educated guess. However, Akainu translates as Red Dog. We know that Aokiji has a logia ice fruit and Kizaru has a logia light fruit. Both of their abilities have something to do wtih their nicknames.

Anyone have any idea what Akainu's ability can be? Do you think hes got a logia?

I also think that out of the 3 admirals, Akainu may be the only one who is truly evil, and portrayed as a despicable person. From what we've seen, he has been nothing but a cruel character, killing many innocent people. His 'loyalty' to the WG and 'absolute justice' borders on fanaticism, which is disturbingly reminiscent of the fanaticism of terroists. Whether or not he will face Aokiji again, or fight Kizaru in this arc or in the future, I don't know, but I think Luffy will definitely face Akainu sometime in the future.

Not "Dark" Justice. "Absolute"

He's not a killer like Lucci in that sense. He destroyed the ship to take out ANY chance of a scholar surviving. He wouldn't kill the people otherwise so he sees no wrong in what he's done.

Lucci killed because he found it fun. Also, he had a thing against weakness, which allowed him to kill more. But that's me being off topic. ;-)

Anyway, I have to venture, since BB has the Dark Fruit, Akainu may have a very powerful Zoan fruit. As we have been told, Zoan are known for cruelty if they have a predatory animal. Since Drake has a Dino Dino Fruit, I gotta venture that Akainu has to have a type of model fruit. Maybe Ptero? Not too sure but those would fit. T-Rex is just too big.

Maybe his ability involves Blood. That's the first think that pops into my mind when i think about an ability that involves the colour red.
The red dog of the WG, bloodthirsty and cruel to the end. Him having an ability involving blood would kinda fit.

We don't know what Aikanu was thinking at that time. So what you're saying is pure speculation.
I even assume that he's worse than Lucci, cause it would be disappointing any other way. One of the three admirals has to be truly evil. but discussing this would be off topic. ^^

yea im betting that he'll do something like kill some of Luffy's friends like destroy a whole village. and then he'll bring upon himself the fury of the SH and im betting that his DF gonna be Neko Neko model tiger or lion which makes him extra aggresive. but i also dont know if he'll be that powerful with that cause Lucci was mega strong with his zoan just cause he was also a Rokuishi master, so unless he's a Rokuishi master then he cant be that strong.

 

[Onomatopoeia]

My money is on Absolute Justice for Akainu, the big difference between Lucci and Akainu is that Akainu gave a justifiable(if fairly messed up) reason to why he did it Lucci did it for the fun of it. Thats the big difference between Dark and Absolute Justice and since we have no reason to believe that he wasn't lying then he likely believes in Absolute Justice.

 

[bittman]

Im with Sarmad, I expect they'll relate red to the blood of his enemies (like Chef Zeff's "red leg" nickname). A blood blood fruit would of course be interesting. Flames would be the obvious runner up, but we've already had a few firey fruits (Ace and Mr 5).

Even if it isn't a blood blood fruit, I would still go with the fact that the Red is related to blood as mentioned like Chef Zeff.

We hear about Justice the first time.

Here, we see that Justice changes depending on where you stand, as said by Vice Admiral Kuzan:

http://www.onemanga.com/One_Piece/397/11/

This shows that Vice Admiral Sakazuki is ruthless. It also shows he believes in rooting out evil no matter what. Which is what "Absolute Justice" is all about:

Now compared to Lucci, Akainu is all about efficiency. He's a killer, no doubt. But he does it for the greater good. [/offtopic]

The blood blood fruit sounds pretty cool though. Maybe something about having blood boil. Using that against Luffy would probably make him automatically go into Gear 2 if he gets close to Akainu.

 

[Akainu]

blood would be cool if he could change it willingly, like doping without EPO or having adrenaline, steroids and testosterone rise, though these are hormones it would fit the blood(-thirst) theme.
but there are also a number of zoan type fruits that would be likely as was stated before and therefore I wouldn't rule out dogs completly though it would be the 4th of that kind so it's kinda hard to tell whether Oda would do that or not.

 

[paradoxe]

A blood logia fruit would fit him pretty well I think.

Ice, Light and Blood..

 

[34DD]

Considering the whole "justice" thing, I'm kind of surprised there hasn't been a thread about it.

I wouldn't say Akainu is "evil", but he definitely has an extreme view on justice. Absolute justice puts morals aside in order to complete the job. Akainu wanted no one "evil" to escape Ohara, even if it meant destroying a ship with a bunch of innocent people on it. Lucci would go after anyone related to the "evil". My source that may get different interpretations: http://www.onemanga.com/One_Piece/426/16/
They both have there similarities, but Akainu's view is the perfect example of someone doing their job, even though it sounds extreme and messed up. Akainu would kill a hundred to get rid of a huge threat. Lucci would kill anyone related(though this would probably be up for interpretation)

About Akainu's power.... well, a blood ability just seems..... meh... what can you actually do with it? Give someone AIDS or something? (tasteless joke, I know I know >.>) The whole thing with the Admirals names and junk is spot on and makes a lot of sense, but there are many more kind of abilities. My guess would be Akainu's ability would be something dealing with lava or magma.

 

[paradoxe]

Akainu would kill a hundred to get rid of a huge threat

If that was the case, then he might ahve been partially justified.

The fact was that they were persecuting innocent archeologists..not terrorists but historians who were just trying to find out what happened. Why should that even be illegal?

 

[Akainu]

because ... you know... the government said it is. it doesn't matter which reasoning is behind it, whether they really want to keep the world peaceful and thus no one should read the poneglyphs that give information about ultimate weapons or if they want to hide something they have done in the past.
they (the WG) forbid reading the poneglyph and that's what those historians did, problbly repeatedly, and that's why they got punished.
that killing isn't the appropriate measure against such a (in our view) minor crime (or even none at all!) for most of us speaks volumes.

 

[kkck]

Maybe Akainu has a magma or lava fruit (cant remember the diference right now but you know what I mean). It would be somewhat similar to ace´s fruit, but it would still be awesome and in wouldnt be ar morbib as a blood blood fruit.

 

[Onomatopoeia]

Red Dog stands for a few things literally.

Clifford the Red Dog: Huge red dog named Clifford would totally be an awesome tribute and Zoan.

A game of Chance played with Cards:It would be interesting to have a character that used cards as their power and chance...

Red Dog Mine: Type of mine

Those are just some literal senses of that. Probablly not likely but figured I'd give some discussion.

 

[kkck]

I dont think akainu will be a zoan user. None of the other admirals are either monkey or pheasant, and there have been 2 dog models introduced so far, a third one would be redundant. Although he seems unusually loyal to the goverment.

 

[dsr]

Blood Blood Logia would be awesome, because Akainu could manipulate even other's people blood.

 

[slippy]

when i think red i think about the earth/rock/soil. therefore, i believe akainu may have some earth type fruit such as rock. ice + light + rock, i think it works better than blood

 

[NoLimit89]

dammit, slippy beat me to it.

I was gonna say earth/rock. earth/rock is often described to be red as well, e.g. the australian aboriginal flag has red ground, black sky and yellow sun.

---

also going by the theme, I'd say all three admirals are logias.

Aokiji - Blue Pheasant - blue being ice, pheasant being docile/lazy in nature
Kizaru - Yellow Monkey - yellow being light, monkey being quickness(speed of light)/easily bored and can't settle down
Akainu - Red Dog - red being earth/rock (by speculation), dog being loyalty and without questioning (like his view of absolute justice)

 

[BlackHair]

I cant imagine blood logia type, its just too much of dark/vampire etc crap and it just wont fit one piece imo.

hm.. brown is the first colour which come tho my mind if I think about earth/rock.

I would say its sth similar to fire, like lava. And so far I would say Akainu is the only all time serious guy.

 

[kkck]

Thank you blackhair, a lava fruit would fit the color red perfectly and by now we know that the animal names admirals are given dont have anithing to do with their abilities. I think a blood logia would be to morbid for this manga which is meant to be read by kids. I think oda drew the line for morbid in zombies lol.
