Discussion The Gecko Moria thread

[Dark soul within]

Well so far, the name of each Shichibukai only refers to their appearance: Dracule "Hawk Eye" Mihawk - associated with a hawk due to his eyes, Bartholomew Kuma is associated with a bear due to his size and bear-like appearance, Donquixote Doflamingo has a flamingo like appearance with his pink feathered top, Jimbei is speculated to be a whale shark fishman because Jimbei Zame is Japanese for whale shark....Crocodiles name most probably refers to his personality rather than anything else.

So i think Gecko Moria might just have some physical characteristic (clothes, facial appearance etc) in association with a gecko.

He probably has more abilities involving shadows besides removing them from a person and attaching it to a zombie.

 

[sushi]

that may be true but isn't gecko fat???

 

[Paz42]

alot of the giants that we have come across so far havnt been exactly in shape so i dont think it really matters and look at the fat guy on shanks crew supposed to be the fastest guy in the world so i dont think it really matters about size.

 

[mars0103]

morias abilitys looks like he gives life to the lifeless. he could be able to do this if moria was the person that stole th humming swordsmans (skeleiton) shadow.

 

[Anti-panda]

Look how large Edward newgate .. White Beard is... he's not as big as a giant ... But he's freaking huge for a man...
More like a human who suffers from Giant-ism .. taken to a large Oversized embelishment.

Plus who knows how many "Other" races and species we'll encounter in the world of OP>
Maybe he's a Halfgiant - Halfclown. A romance made in ... not heaven ... the other place... Hell.

About Gecko Moria having physical characteristics of a gecko, you never know, he might climb up vertical walls at great speed and be reptile like however I don't think that Gecko is from the animal gecko because a gecko is not "gecko" in japanese but something completely different. All the other shichibukai have names that have Japanese meaning.

Your right but what about Sir Crocodile or Donquixote Do"flamingo" or Mi"hawk" im pretty sure there not japanease but the only two so far that are japanease words are Jinbei wich is somthing along the lines of whaleshark i think and Bartholomew Kuma, Kuma being bear.

But i agree hes not going to be a slow chap i think hes going to be quite fast and agile like his name sake forcing luffy to try and combine gears 2nd and 3rd using 2nd to keep up speed wise and 3rd to match size with the obviously larger then life moria but then i could be wrong

 

[Crenzel]

I bet he has a forked tongue. =P
wait.. it should be =-<

>< that just looks like a sad face

 

[OP_overlord]

i do like that theory that altho gekko is big and fat he is fast makeing luffy go gear 2 and 3 at the same time that would be a good fight and then chibi luffy going at it with fast and strong gekko.

 

[Absolutio]

gear 2+3 is a good theory, since we didnt see it yet, and i dont think it should be impossible. but i dont think that gecko is fast (and less he has the fast fast fruit, or something like that ), but he's probably strong anyways. I mean, he's so huge, by the time you get from the place you're standing, to him, he can throw lots of hits at you. deadly ones.. =D

 

[Anti-panda]

Yeah but im thinking combining gears 2nd and 3rd might completly reek havok on luffy's body. Look at what they do individually .. combined it might just whoop his A$$. Serious damage. Both to him and his enemies.

 

[OP_overlord]

but the fight would be kick ass and even but luffy doesnt count odds like we do he fights head first anyway

 

[Paz42]

ye i think its somthing luffy is really likely to do if his friends are in danger or moria does somthing to really anger him like saying that he cant reattach shadows so there all doomed or somthing and luffy being all well ill have to beat the answer outta you and going gear ill call it gear 5th lol it would rip him apart and leave him quite bad but i think its somthing thats quite likely if not in this arc at some point in the future

now i know i was the last person to post on this thread but i just had a thought.

I know we where saying on here that maybe the giant looking body was a battle suit but what if its not morias orginal body you know he had hogback do somthing so that his mind is in a much more powerful custome made body i know its like the battle suite idea but i think it would fit much better with the current theme of the arc

 

[Raijatsu]

I think he had some major altering on his body aswell! Every member of his crew, except Perona, have stitches all over their body, even if it simply a stupid smile like hogback.

Overall he looks quite nice, a funny devil theme, if he is a giant he is pretty small compared to the others, a napoleon-complex would explain why he always looks for strong minions and why he relies on others.

I really like that idea! That perhaps Moria's been 'body-jumping' into bodies he likes.... But now that I think about it, he wouldn't have all the knowledge and stuff that his original body has. So unless he's found a way to transfer that as well or something....

I hate to be a buzz kill but im begining to think maybe we all just saw gekko from a bad angle or something because he isn't really that big.
It' might be kind of cool if he changes size depending on how much light is present in the area he's in. Like in complete darkness he's giant size .. but in well lit rooms he's just about double the norm.

You're not really being a buzz-kill. because a lot of people seem to think that Gecko Moria is a bit...small. I personally think so too, and that it doesn't really bear any explanation (like some other characters that are big).

 

[OP_overlord]

he could be half giant of something but i still think he is super strong and if the SH dont do something fast they are in trouble.

 

[Paz42]

im really looking forward to what number 900 will be like. But was any one else disapointed with how moria looked or was it just me i mean its not gonna stop me reading or anything like this still loving this arc but i just was hoping for more maybe

 

[jeffhmwong]

Hmm....the onli ability Moria has seem is the ability to take ones shaddow. Fighting capablities, i dont think hes as strong as Crocodile/Mihawk or other SHnchibukai.
