![]() ![]() One could say this is because Ace acts differently with people he doesn’t know versus when he’s alone. In those he seems badass and strong, someone everyone is in awe of. I’m not sure these come out in the filler episodes. In the latter he’s shown to be reckless, impulsive, and violent, but also kind-hearted and a bit silly. ![]() There he seems willing to do a good turn for someone simply because he’s grateful and friendly.Īdditionally, I noticed that Ace has a much “cooler” attitude in the filler episodes than The Great Blackbeard Search indicates. It merely felt more calculated than his agreement to help Moda. ![]() Admittedly, in context agreeing to fight on behalf of the false rebels in exchange for food did alleviate the earlier lost from those birds. While this isn’t disproved in Ace’s cover story, he seems a lot kinder to ordinary people (or Moda) than he does with the filler people of Alabasta. Some of the divergent traits that I noticed was how Ace was portrayed in one filler episode as slightly more morally ambigious than the Straw Hats (or at least more than Vivi would like). In his last episode (101), Nami and Vivi discuss how he seems so responsible (cleaning his own plate and such). The fourth is, once again, carried over from the manga - apologizing to the family whose meal he unintentionally interrupted and his goal of punishing Blackbeard - as well as emphasized in the fillers. Knowing what I do about their past, nothing in it struck me as out of place, but you could argue that by focusing primarily on what was going on around them - being attacked, looking for his ship, discussing his shipmates - it meant backstory didn’t have to be addressed in detail. ![]() What I like about their time looking for Merry and the Straw Hats is it allows them time to actually talk to each other. What the anime does, that I kind of like, is that it extends his time alone with Luffy.(At the expense of making Luffy look a lot denser than he is in the manga). The third is probably the most obvious of course it would be maintained that he cares about Luffy. I feel like the anime made him quieter and more mysterious in the Alabasta filler because they only had so much to go on, and in the manga Ace was, for all intents, a bit vague. He may not have the best opinion about himself, but he’s spontaneous and friendly too. Based on how Ace’s behaves in his cover story, I’m not so sure Ace would be so quiet. While the Straw Hats are arguing and struggling in the desert, Ace just quietly observes them. not explaining the vivre card), but also emphasized by Ace’s more detached attitude. The second is interesting because it’s partially maintained from the manga (e.g. The anime extends this in the filler episodes, by emphasizing Ace’s strength in a combat context first with the false rebels and later with the Scorpion. The first is consistence simply because it uses the same premise: his devil fruit is powerful, he has a stalemate with the one antagonist Luffy is incapable of fighting, and it’s revealed that as kids Luffy was never able to beat Ace in a fight. The main personality traits that stood out as being maintained in the anime was Ace’s strength, privacy, affection for Luffy, and general polite and responsible attitude. There was some layover and some divergence.
