Talk:List of Canon Characters

Source of Character names
when they were not given directly in the manga, I've added to the table in which document (SBS, data book...) the names of the character were introduced, but I didn't find the source for these ones : Does anyone know ? Kdom 21:10, November 13, 2009 (UTC)
 * Bogart
 * 3rd Class Clumsy Man
 * Heppoko, Peppoko, Poppoko
 * Inuppe
 * Mornin
 * Nurse Tachi

How about adding Ottohime, Neptune ,....etc ?Have been added.

Should the going merry be considered a character if so, how about the thousand sunny, the moby dick and ark maxim, I am either adding them all or removing the one. January 26, 2012 (OnePieceNation)

The Going Merry actually spoke and interacted with the crew at one point, while all the other ships you listed did not. Therefore, Going Merry counts as a character while the others are simply ships. Also, sign your posts. 16:40, January 27, 2012 (UTC)

Yeah but the thousand sunny basically is the reincarnation fo the going merry and before the merry spoke it had expressions just like the thousand sunny has now, the sunny never spoke but just like the going merry has expressions, So I can consent to not added maxim, moby dick etc. And leaving the going merry where it is, but then I still feel that at least the thousand sunny has to be added to the list. Once I am finished with updating A I will add the sunny January, 27, 2012 (OnePieceNation)

It's not considered a character, so don't add it. 18:23, January 27, 2012 (UTC)

It was actually the Klabautermann of the ship that spoke to the Straw Hats and not the ship itself. SeaTerror 18:31, January 27, 2012 (UTC)

I am either adding one, or removing one. so decide is the Going Merry a character yes or no, if it is than the thousand sunny is too if it isn't it, it will be removed. January, 27 2012 (OnePieceNation)

Leave the Going Merry in, leave the Thousand Sunny out. One is a character, one isn't. Accept it and move on. When Sunny develops thoughts, it's own personality, and feelings, feel free to add it. Until that happens, leave Going Merry in and Thousand Sunny out. 18:52, January 27, 2012 (UTC)

Just like merry did before, the thousand sunny has shown awareness and actual facial expressions, just read the latest chapter again. The Thousand Sunny is a character as much as the Going Merry is one. I am adding it after I am done with the A. I just finished D and E.

That face appeared on the Sunny for the same reason it appeared on the Merry, comic relief. It's not meant to be taken seriously. The Going Merry has actually communicated with the crew, showing emotion and self-awareness, and communicating verbally to third parties, thus establishing a character base in the story. Sunny hasn't, that would be like saying Mohji is a Devil Fruit user because Buggy is. The two do not influence each other. One is a character, one is not. 23:21, January 27, 2012 (UTC)

It appeared on merry because it was developing sentience, if a thing, plant or animal plays a large enough role in a story it becomes a character, The sunny shown emotion to, will most likely eventually communcate with the crew and has shown self-awareness, however a character doesn't necessarily needs to show these things, since characters or writer can even make plants and non living things a character. I present you with the case of Plant-kun: Plant-kun is a fern-like potted plant residing in the living room of the Ten'ou house. It is incredibly resilient and has recovered from massive damage that would have finished lesser plants. Plant-kun is an avid fan of Barry White music. It has previously had romantic encounters with several individuals, in particular Viney-chan. Plant-kun's leaves are an incredibly potent substance, and can have a wide variety of mind-warping effects which vary by the individual. In an alternate version of reality, Plant-kun is instead Tree-kun.The way plant-kun is written makes it a character, the same goes for the sunny it is character, since it is written as such, lesser ships have also become characters since they have such an inportance to the story, I present you with my last example the Black Pearl, it hasn't spoken or shown awarenass, however it was brought back from ;death two times, it goes through a bunch of things and is very important in the entirey pirates of the caribbean story. Making it become a character. I am adding the sunny, and it will not be removed unless 10 different unaffiliated people wanting it too. 29, Januari, OnePieceNation.
