Revision as of 16:28, 26 September 2020

Featured Article Ahoy! This here is the 43rd Featured Article.
"Wanze" has been featured, meaning it was chosen as an article of interest.

Wanze is a member of CP7 and a cook, specializing in making ramen noodles.[2]

He was one of the antagonists during the Sea Train voyage in the Water 7 Arc.

Appearance

Wanze has an almost permanent smile on his face, even when he is afraid or mad. He also has white fluffy hair and buck teeth, with spiral-designs on his cheek and also has eyes that seem to extend off of his face with his skin and eyelids as well. Wanze wears a black shirt unbuttoned, revealing his chest, a yellow scarf, black pants with an orange belt, and roller skates. The back of his jacket reads "MAD".[2]

After getting hit by Sanji's Parage Shot, Wanze's face is molded into something that resembles a stereotypical bishonen; ironically, he finds this form to be rather ugly. His face changes back to its former appearance after a kick to his torso from Sanji.[6]

Personality

Wanze often acts in a whimsical or uncontrolled manner to mislead his enemies into underestimating him which is a grave mistake, since he is a powerful fighter with incredible reflexes. He does take pride in his abilities and appears to be quite confident in them as shown when he states that they chose him on the train to keep intruders out.[7] However, he is a bit dense and can be short tempered. Furthermore, he oddly becomes dizzy when he sees spirals, such as Sanji's eyebrow.[8]

One of the main key features of Wanze is his facial expression (the "dumb" smile) that never changes even when he claims to be scared, which often annoys and provokes his enemies.[9] However, he did get mad when Sanji changed him into a bishonen and claimed to be mutilated.[6]

Like other One Piece characters, Wanze has his own Laughter Style, starting it with "Sa" (i.e. Sasasasasasa!). He also tends to say a verbal tic, "Go-go-go!", when he is excited.

Abilities and Powers

Wanze is CP7's melee fighting expert. He is quite analytical, as he was able to figure out Sanji's weakness (in that immobilizing his legs makes him powerless) after fighting with him for only a few minutes.[8][10]

Ramen Kenpo

Further information: Ramen Kenpo
Ramen Kenpo Infobox

Wanze in his suit of ramen.

Wanze is a chef who specializes in ramen and can make ramen noodles by eating flour, kneading the dough in his mouth, and extruding it out of his nose, with his nose hairs cutting the dough.[1] He uses the specialty as part of his fighting style, Ramen Kenpo. He can shoot ramen out of his nose at highspeed,[11] as well as shape a battle suit.[12]

Weapons

Alongside his Ramen Kenpo, Wanze uses various bladed weapons. He wears a pair of roller skates with circular blades as wheels. These skates can ignite from friction and enhance his kicks.[13] He also throws kitchen knives and wields a large poisoned knife.[14]

History

Sanji's knife handling vs. Wanze's Ramen Kenpo.

Wanze managed to overpower Sanji by trapping him in his ramen fists. Sanji tried attacking his unprotected head, but Wanze used Ramen Beam to stop him. Wanze stated that he had figured out Sanji's fighting style and sent several waves of ramen down on Sanji, but Sanji pulled out two knives and cut apart the ramen. Being able to use kitchen tools due to Wanze using food as his weapon, Sanji prepared to show Wanze his skills with them.[16] Sanji cut off Wanze's ramen arms, and Wanze was intent on upholding his mission as he kicked at Sanji with ramen legs. However, Sanji cleanly cut the legs into little pieces, and Wanze used Ramen Beam once again in desperation, but Sanji cut the remainder of his suit into several pieces. He was not hurt due to Sanji not wanting to use weapons on him, and as Sanji put the knives back, he took the knives and threw them at Sanji. However, Sanji managed to dodge them and kicked Wanze several times in the face. Wanze questioned Sanji's motives for rescuing Nico Robin, but this only made Sanji angrier and caused him to use Parage Shoot on Wanze, changing his face into that of a bishōnen.
