Ryokugyu is the alias of an admiral in the Marines.[2] His real name is currently unknown.

Appearance

Ryokugyu's full appearance is unknown, but he has long, wavy hair and wears a Marine coat.[3] He appears to be much taller than Fujitora, who is himself very tall.[1]

Personality

Ryokugyu is an extremely laid-back and lazy man who takes everything with a casual attitude, similarly to Borsalino . He did not want to make the effort of following Sakazuki's orders to expel Fujitora from Mary Geoise, and even views eating to be too much work. He appears to enjoy beautiful women, as he talked about having one to feed him.[1] Despite his relaxed disposition, he can be serious about his obligations as a military officer as noted by Blackbeard when he informs Gecko Moria about the confrontation between the Revolutionary Army commanders and the two Marine admirals.[4]

Like many other characters, he laughs in a unique fashion: "Rahaha" (らはは, Rahaha?).[1]

Relationships

Marines

Fujitora

Fujitora and Ryokugyu appear to be on good terms, as Ryokugyu disregarded Sakazuki's orders to drive Fujitora out of Mary Geoise and instead had a friendly conversation with his fellow admiral.[1]

Revolutionaries

Due to being an officer in the Marines, he is an enemy of the Revolutionary Army. As such, he and Fujitora engaged Sabo and his subordinates when they tried to rescue their former comrade Bartholomew Kuma.

Abilities and Powers

As an admiral, Ryokugyu's authority in the Marines is directly below the fleet admiral's, holding power over the thousands of soldiers ranked below him and ability to command whole fleets, having a say in the overall strategy of the organization, and being able to issue special orders, such as enacting a Buster Call at any time while also granting those of lower ranking such ability.[5][6][7]

Combat-wise, Ryokugyu with the other two Admirals is thought to constitute the World Government's "Greatest Military Power",[5] making him one of the most powerful people in the world. Both Ryokugyu and Fujitora were stated by Doflamingo to be "true monsters" in terms of strength.[2]

Ryokugyu has claimed not to have eaten anything in three years.[1] Not only does he maintain the strength to move around and do battle perfectly fine,[4] such supposed feat means he achieved the admiral promotion without any food in his system. How Ryokugyu has been able to do his extreme fast is yet unknown.

Haki

Further information: Haki

Being of admiral rank, Ryokugyu should be able to use Haki.[8]

History

Past

Not much is known about Ryokugyu's past, but during the past three years, Ryokugyu has completely refrained from eating. Sometime during the two years when the Straw Hats were separated, Ryokugyu was recruited by the Marines as an admiral.

Trivia

SBS73 4 Ryokugyu

A rendering of Ryokugyu.

  • In SBS Volume 73, a fan provided a joke rendering of Ryokugyu's appearance. Oda found it quite bizarre and noted he had already designed the admiral, mentioning that he was "super-duper cool" and he could not wait to draw him.[9]
  • Fujitora and Ryokugyu's animal aliases (tiger and bull respectively) are the representations of the northeastern quarter where the ogre that Momotarō must kill lives.[10]
