Luffy excitedly decided to go with the Ordeal of Balls (because it sounded fun) and Usopp lead their boat down the path. When they arrived at the Ordeal, Satori greeted the Straw Hats. Because of his carefree attitude and dancing, Luffy and Sanji underestimated his ability and attempted to attack him, only to have their attacks dodged by Satori's Mantra, and then each Straw Hat was blown off their craft and into the forest by Satori's Impact Dial. Satori then revealed his ordeal: the Straw Hats' boat would continue to traverse the Milky Road out of the forest unless they could board the boat and stop it. If they could not stop the boat then they would be forever lost.

Revision as of 01:09, 14 June 2020

Satori of the Forest punished criminals with the Ordeal of Balls during Enel's reign.[2] He was one of Enel's top warriors, the Skypiea Priests, until his defeat. He is also the oldest triplet brother of Hotori and Kotori. Due to this actions, he is a major antagonist of the Skypiea Arc.

Appearance

Satori is a round-shaped man with fair skin and long, dark red hair. He is clad in a white, full-body jumpsuit, which has a vertical line of golden rings that run from front to back, an orange hat similar in style to a Capello Romano, orange gloves, shoes, and large, yellow sunglasses that completely obscure his eyes. In addition, he carries a large, striped cane, which he uses to control the Ball Dragon. Like other Birkans, he has small white wings on his back.

Personality

Satori is a playful and silly character, rarely seen without a smile on his face, who moves around largely by hopping and prancing. He notably exhibits this behavior while fighting Luffy, Usopp, and Sanji, pitting their lives against his deadly traps; whether this is out of childish oblivion or calculated sadism and cruelty is not known. His normal demeanor is known to dissolve into panicking when his plans go awry, as he became frantic once Luffy and Sanji bypassed his pitfalls and defeated him.

Like many One Piece characters, he has his own distinctive Laughter Style: "Ho, ho hoooo!"

Relationships

Satori was not good on good terms with his fellow priests Shura, Ohm and Gedatsu due to their competition over the execution of criminals, where the first to kill is seen as the strongest. His two triplet brothers, Hotori and Kotori, seem to have a good relationship with Satori as they wanted revenge for his defeat at the hands of the Straw Hat Pirates[5]

Abilities and Powers

Ordeal of Balls

Further information: Ordeals#Ordeal of Balls
Surprise Balls vs

Some "Surprise Balls" extruding spears (back) and a giant crab (front).

Satori was the priest in charge of testing intruders with the Ordeal of Balls, with a survival rate of 10%. As part of his Ordeal of Balls, Satori uses what he calls Surprise Clouds (びっくり雲, Bikkurigumo?), large ball clouds that float around the area, as his main weapon.[6] These balls contain an assortment of random items, which range from harmless things such as flowers or singing birds to dangerous attacks like poisonous snakes, explosives or bladed weapons. As the balls are outwardly identical, his opponents can never be sure of what will come out of them, forcing them to constantly evade them.[7]

Weapons

Satori uses a pair of Impact Dials hidden underneath his gloves, which absorb the force of an opponent's attacks and release it back at them.[6]

Haki

Further information: Haki

Satori can use Kenbunshoku Haki, which is called "Mantra" in Skypiea, to predict what his opponent will do before they attack.[6] Like the other priests, he can sense the presence of people within a range that covers the entirety of Upper Yard.[8] However, Satori admits that he still requires more training, as his concentration can falter due to unexpected events, leaving him vulnerable. As with Kenbunshoku Haki, his "Mantra" is useless if he is restrained, as he cannot dodge blows whether he predicts them or not.[9]

Attacks

  • Bikkuri Tamatsuki (びっくり玉突き, Bikkuri Tamatsuki?, literally meaning "Surprise Billiards"): Satori kicks one of his surprise clouds towards an enemy. However, the cloud is actually aimed so that it will ricochet off of other surprise clouds to change direction, heading towards a different enemy who is off guard.[7] This resembles the way various cue sports are played.
  • Impact (衝撃インパクト, Inpakuto?): Satori uses one if his Impact Dials hidden underneath his orange gloves to attack an opponent with a powerful shockwave that causes internal damage.
  • Bikkuri Tamakazura: Tama Dragon (びっくり玉鬘 玉ドラゴン, Bikkuri Tamakazura Tama Doragon?, literally meaning "Suprise Jeweled Chaplet: Ball Dragon"): Satori's ultimate attack, in which he takes several surprise clouds filled with flames, gunpowder and bladed weapons and connects them in the form of a snake with a dragon-masked cloud on top, which he controls using a cane with a string attached to the dragon head. He then directs the dragon to chase his opponents; any jarring impact that hits it will trigger a massive explosion.[9] Tamakazura (玉鬘?) is also the name of a chapter and a character from the The Tale of Genji, a classic work of Japanese literature. In the Viz manga, this is called Surprise Ball Attack: Ball Dragon.

History

Past

Satori was born on the sky island of Birka along with his younger brothers, Hotori and Kotori. Eight years before the current storyline, Birka was destroyed by Enel and Satori travelled to Skypiea as one of Enel's warriors.[10] He took part in the invasion of Upper Yard, which resulted in the former God Gan Fall being usurped by Enel.[11] Under Enel's rule, Satori became one of the four priest of Skypiea and was tasked with administering punishment to criminals with the Ordeal of Balls.[2]

Sky Island Saga

Skypiea Arc

The four priests Satori, Shura, Ohm and Gedatsu competed to eliminate a man called Zabo who had trespassed on Upper Yard, but their pursuit was interrupted near the coast when Wyper attacked them with his Burn Bazooka. After Zabo was killed Enel's lightning blast, Gedatsu explained that another group of illegal trespassers had arrived in Skypiea.[1]

File:Sanji Struggles Against Satori.png

Satori using an Impact Dial to assault Sanji.

When Usopp, Luffy and Sanji arrived at the Ordeal of Balls, Satori greeted the Straw Hats. Because of his carefree attitude and dancing, Luffy and Sanji underestimated his ability and attempted to attack him, only to have their attacks dodged by Satori's Mantra, and then each Straw Hat was blown off their craft and into the forest by Satori's Impact Dial. Satori then revealed his ordeal: the Straw Hats' boat would continue to traverse the Milky Road out of the forest unless they could board the boat and stop it. If they could not stop the boat then they would be forever lost.[6]

Tama Dragon

Satori unleashes the Tama Dragon.

As Sanji and Usopp attempted to locate the boat, Luffy was easily defeated due to Satori's Mantra, and all three took multiple Impact Dial attacks.[7] Satori then revealed his ultimate attack, the Ball Dragon, and proceeded to chase Luffy around the forest with it. Once Luffy discovered the string that Satori used to control the chain, he was able to break his control and send the dragon flying back at him. Due to the explosion Satori temporarily lost control of his Mantra, and failed to see Luffy clinging to his back. Luffy tied up Satori with his stretched limbs holding him still and thus rendering his Mantra ability useless, as he could not dodge attacks even if he could sense them, allowing Sanji to defeat him with his Concasse.[9] With her Mantra, Aisa senses Satori's defeat and reports to Wyper, giving the Shandia warrior additional incentive to launch his assault on Upper Yard.[12]

After Enel's defeat, the Shandia sentenced Satori and the other priests to Cloud Drifting.[13]

Major Battles

Translation and Dub Issues

  • In the English dub, Satori refers to Luffy as a "rubber boy" despite the fact that rubber does not exist in Skypiea, a fact shown when Enel himself did not know what rubber was.
    • However, this could mean that in the dub that Satori is the only one in Skypeia to know about rubber.
  • In the German dub, there was a massive translation error. Satori is dubbed by a woman. Furthermore, other characters refer to him as a female, while he himself introduces himself with the male/neutral personal pronoun. This also introduces a massive error in the scene where Sanji defeats Satori with Concassé, as Sanji is portrayed as never fighting against women.
