Nico Robin/Misc.

Early Concepts


In One Piece Green: Secret Pieces an early concept of the crew was revealed. Robin replaced a man that was supposed to be more of a plant lover than a history lover. His characteristic as a botanist is transfered to the post-time skip Usopp.

Colorization
There is a slight difference between Robin in the manga and anime; in the manga, Robin's eyes are brown while they are blue in the anime. One Piece: Unlimited Adventure, One Piece: Unlimited Cruise, Gigant Battle and the film Strong World follow the manga version.

Robin's Past
In the manga, several kids are seen throwing rocks at her, yet in the anime adaption they throw a tomato. While she attempted to board the evacuation ship and met resistance from the evacuees in the manga it was absence in the anime.

Straw Hat Separation
Robin's adventure in Tequila Wolf is extended in the anime. After Robin landed there, she met and befriended a girl named Soran. Also in the anime, Robin attacked some of the guards before she gave herself up to spare Soran from punishment. Instead of somehow escaping surveillance as shown in the manga, Robin was freed by Soran and a Revolutionary agent.

Translation and Dub Issues
In an official scan for One Piece: Unlimited Adventure, Robin's name was misspelled as "Lobin".

Her attack "Cinco Fleur" contains the Spanish word, "Cinco" which means five. This is similar to the Japanese word "Chinko" (a part of the male genitals). The word was brought up by a confused fan in one SBS who questioned why Oda used the word. As stated previously, her attacks contain a number in Spanish, although Oda remarked that having her attack the male genitals area was brilliant, which he later used as a way to make Franky join the crew.

In the 4Kids dub, Robin receives the same treatment as many other female characters such as Nami and Miss Doublefinger. Her cleavage is often removed or an undershirt added to hide her chest. Sometimes the editors switch between the two in different shots leading to inconsistency. She was given a southern accent to go with her cowgirl hat. In the FUNimation edited dub, she no longer has the accent, and occasionally refers to the crew by their names instead of their titles. However, in the FUNimation uncut dub and the English version of One Piece: Unlimited Adventure she still calls the crew (except Luffy) by their titles, although the game takes place after Enies Lobby, and Robin recalls the Straw Hats taking her in and giving her a reason to live.

Trivia

 * In addition to using the jolly roger of the Straw Hats, Robin has her own jolly roger. It has a purple cowboy hat, and four arms in a pinwheel formation, due to her Devil Fruit, the Hana Hana no Mi.
 * After the timeskip, the skull gains sunglasses on the cowboy hat and an image of her Devil Fruit or an actual Chrysanthemum is in the background. This accommodates to her New World appearance.
 * Robin is the only member of the Straw Hats who was never formally invited to join them; she decided to join on her own, a decision met with no objections.

 * In a Shonen Jump question asking "If you could be any manga character, who would you be?" Oda said he would want to be Nico Robin so that he could "sprout hands and draw manga twenty times as fast".
 * In the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th popularity poll, Robin ranked as the 11th, 5th, 7th, 11th, 12th and 6th most popular character.
 * Robin is the only Straw Hat member besides Jinbe who has performed a Fish-Man Karate technique.
 * Robin is also the only Devil Fruit user known to use Fish-Man Karate, as well as the first human shown using it (in Chapter 605), before Koala's debut. The latter, however, was only confirmed after Koala's introduction as an adult and Fish-Man Karate instructor.
