Jimbei (ジンベエ, Jinbē; spelled Jinbe on his bounty poster), also known as "First Son of the Sea" Jimbei ((海侠のジンベエ, Kaikyō no Jinbē), is a fictional main character in the manga One Piece by Eiichiro Oda. A whale shark Fish-Man, he is the helmsman of the Straw Hats.

Jimbei is from Fish-Man Island, 10,000 meters under the surface of the sea and directly under Mary Geoise, and hopes to one day bring Fish-Man Island society to the surface under the sun. His dream is to achieve equality between humans and Fish-Men, by overcoming the long history of humans enslaving and discriminating against Fish-Men, Mermen, and Mermaids. Originally Jimbei was a member of the Sun Pirates, which was formed to protect formerly enslaved Fish-Men, Mermen, and Mermaids from being re-enslaved. Jimbei joined the Seven Warlords to obtain a World Government pardon for his crew members. This included those who were once enslaved, but also the Fish-Man supremacist Arlong who went on to do great harm to Nami's hometown, Cocoyashi Villlage which caused great suffering to her and the other villagers. Fish-Man Island later forms an alliance with the Whitebeard Pirates, one of the Four Emperors of the Sea.

Jimbei is originally introduced as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea who is imprisoned by the World Government after he refuses to support the execution of his friend and Monkey D. Luffy's brother Portgas D. Ace. Luffy frees Jimbei, who resigns his position as Warlord of the Sea. Throughout the story Jimbei serves as a commander under three successive Emperors of the Sea in order to protect Fish-Man Island: Whitebeard, Big Mom, and Straw Hat Luffy. Jimbei, Luffy, and Whitebeard fight to stop the execution of Ace. Two years later, Jimbei meets the Straw Hats on Fish-Men Island apologizes to Nami for setting Arlong free. The Straw Hats and Jimbei save Fish-Man Island from a coup d'état by the New Fish-Man Pirates, Fish-men supremacists were inspired by Arlong. Luffy asks Jimbei to join his crew, and he agrees but says he needs to settle his affairs with Big Mom. Jimbei later rebels against Big Mom and helps Luffy plan an unsuccessful assassination attempt against her, officially joining the Straw Hats. then reunites with his new crew to successfully defeat an alliance between Big Mom and Kaido of the Four Emperors. After the Straw Hats emerge triumphant, Jimbei becomes one of Emperor Luffy's Senior Officers and currently has the third-highest bounty in the crew after Luffy and Roronoa Zoro.

Jimbei is one of the most popular characters in One Piece, and is seen as embodying duty, loyalty, fairness. His ideology of fighting for freedom, human rights, and the social equality for all peoples later became inspiration for some participants in the Gen Z protests in Asia.

Creation and conception

[edit]

Jimbei is based on an honorable yakuza gangster. Though he did not appear in the story until Chapter 528, Jimbei was first mentioned in Chapter 69. Jimbei was originally designed to look like an Umibōzu with a gallant but hotheaded personality suitable for a yakuza boss,[4] Whether he is called Jimbei or Jinbe depends on the language One Piece is in, with Jimbei being the common name in English.[5]

Jimbei was originally supposed to be an actual antagonist, similar to the introduction of Nico Robin and Franky. In this conception Jimbei would have been pulling Arlong's strings from the shadows.[6] This version of Jimbei was based on a Japanese sea demon and a mafia boss, and was not intended to join the Straw Hats.[7] Instead, an early member of the Straw Hats would have been the Fish-Man "Saigo", a good friend of Roronoa Zoro.[8] Jimbei's dream is equality between humans, Fish-Men, Mermen, and Mermaids, and he is the helsman of hte crew.[9] Jimbei is the tenth member of Straw Hats, and the ninth to join Luffy.

Jimbei first appears in the Impel Down arc, which stands in as a metaphorical hell modeled after Dante Alighieri's Inferno.[10][11] Jimbei's treatment illustrates "the World Government as a corrupt and tyrannical regime that subjugates its citizens, engaging in practices such as slavery, torture, and arbitrary imprisonment." Jimbei's character is seen as representing the theme of tolerance and anti-racism since he "rejects the discriminatory practices of the World Government and joins the Straw Hats, embracing more egalitarian values" as he "aims to achieve unity between humans and Fish-Men. His wisdom and strength make him a valuable addition to the crew," and "a symbol of unity within the diverse crew of the Straw Hat Pirates."[12] The World Government tolerates the enslavement of Fish-Men, mermaids, and mermen, and it is customary among the Celestial Dragons. In one instance a World Noble even attempted to enslave Princess Shirahoshi of Fish-Man Island.[13] One analysis highlights this incident as showing the banality of evil in One Piece regarding the theme of slavery during the 1500s.[12]

Description

[edit]

Jimbei is a Whale Shark Fish-Man who wears a jinbei and has a red tattoo of the Sun Pirates on his chest. He has blue skin and a shaggy mane of black hair. He has two enlargened lower teeth that stick out of his mouth even when closed. He generally wears a serious scowl but can possess a more light-hearted attitude.[14][15]

Personality

[edit]

Jimbei is honorable and dedicated to equality between peoples of all races. Jimbei embodies loyalty and "standing up for your ideals no matter what obstacles you face." Unlike most of the Straw Hats, Jimbei does not have a running gag but often acts as the straight man during a comedic sequence.[16] Jimbei's decision to save Luffy's life at Fish-Man Island with a blood donation despite the taboo on Fish-men donating blood humans showed his moral code and was described as among "the series' most memorable and striking images."[17] Jimbei is the only member of the Straw Hats not to have a dedicated gag, making him the crew's straight man.[18][14]

Abilities

[edit]

Jimbei's abilities include Fish-Man Karate & Jujutsu, super strength, water manipulation, Armament and Observation Haki.[ch. 528] He is the slowest of all the Straw Hats on land, but is much more proficient in swimming than running.[7] Jimbei is generally seen as the fourth-strongest member of the crew after Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji.[19]

Multiple viewers wrote Jimbei's "most iconic scene" and "most impressive feat" was "facing down Big Mom in her Life or Soul attack. She exerts her Soul-Soul Fruit power, which usually allows her to absorb the souls of those she chooses. This only works so long as they feel fear or doubt toward Big Mom though, and Jimbei shows none of that. He's steadfast in his commitment to joining Luffy, so even while the army of Big Mom succumbs to her power out of fear, Jimbei stands tall."[20][11][21][9]

Fish-Man Karate

[edit]

A master of Fish-Man Karate (魚人空手, Gyojin Karate) and Fish-Man Jujutsu (魚人柔術, Gyojin Jūjutsu), Jimbei is capable of manipulating water as if it were a tangible cloth.[ch. 546] Jimbei can communicate with fish, an ability more usually associated with merfolk, allowing him to enlist the help of whale sharks.[ch. 547549]

Haki

[edit]

Jimbei has the ability to use Haki (覇気; ambition). This ability has three types: Armament Haki (武装色の覇気, Busōshoku no Haki), an armor-like force, which can amplify defense and the force of attacks and negate a Devil Fruit user's defense, allow physical contact and damage; Observation Haki (見聞色の覇気, Kenbunshoku no Haki), a sixth sense, which can read a person's moves and detect their presence; and Conqueror's Haki (覇王色の覇気, Haōshoku no Haki), which can render weak-willed people or animals near him unconscious.[22]

Jimbei was the first Fish-Man shown to use Armament Haki and Observation Haki.[7]

Appearances

[edit]

One Piece

[edit]

Jimbei was born and raised on Fish-Man Island beneath the Grand Line.[7] After growing up in the marginalized Fish-Man District, Jimbei became a soldier in the nation's royal army.[23][24] Jimbei's mentor Fisher Tiger frees many of those enslaved in the World Government's capital of Mery Geoise, turning him into a wanted outlaw. Fisher Tiger forms the Sun Pirates (タイヨウの海賊団, Taiyō no Kaizokudan). Jimbei, the members of the Arlong Pirates and the Macro Pirates unite under Fisher Tiger's Sun Pirates. Arlong and Jimbei considered Fisher Tiger a big brother, although they were not biologically related.[ch. 624] The Sun Pirates were made up of fish-men and mermen and attacked any pirate ship they saw, but no matter who is on it, they would never kill directly. Their Sun insignia was created to cover up the mark of the Celestial Dragon's enslavement, "Hoof of the Soaring Dragon". Fisher Tiger reveals upon his deathbed that he was actually enslaved and escaped, later returning to free other enslaved peoples, including Pirate Empress Boa Hancock and her two sisters. With the Sun insignia, the World Government was unable to claim the formerly enslaved due to confusion over whether they were Sun Pirates or not.[ch. 620]

While originally Jimbei and Arlong saw humans similarly, Jimbei would go on to clash philosophically with Arlong.[ch. 623][15] Jimbei believed diplomacy could resolve the inequality between Fish-Men and humans.[11] The Arlong Pirates and the Macro Pirates split off from the Sun Pirates when Jimbei joins the Seven Warlords of the Sea.[ch. 624][15] In exchange for the World Government granting him Warlord status and amnesty to the Sun Pirates members who were once enslaved, Jimbei disbands the crew, freeing Arlong from his recent imprisonment in Impel Down.[ch. 69, 624] Jimbei also sought to use his position as the first Fish-Man Warlord to strengthen the relationship between Fish-Men and humans.[7] In time Jimbei would support the goals of Fish-Man Island's Queen Otohime to life in peace with humans and move Fish-Man Island to the surface.[ch. 621] One of Jimbei's main characer traits are his selflessness and dedication to honoring his obligations. Although Fisher Tiger was betrayed by humans, Jimbei refuses to give up hopes of equality between species.[11]

After Jimbei became one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, he became close with Whitebeard, one of the four pirate Emperors of the Sea. A strong factor in their friendship came when the Whitebeard Pirates proclaimed Fish-Man Island a protectorate, deterring crimes by weaker pirates.[ch. 529][11]

Jimbei fought Portgas D. Ace to a draw in five days on Whitebeard' behalf.[ch. 552] Ace later informed Jimbei that Luffy was the pirate who defeated the Arlong Pirates, shocking Jimbei.[ch. 1102] When the World Government goes to war with the Whitebeard Pirates to execute Ace, Jimbei opposes the war because Whitebeard's death could destabilize Fish-Man Island. For his refusal to serve in the war, Jimbei is imprisoned in the underwater prison Impel Down alongside Ace.[25][26][27][9]

Jimbei is then freed by Luffy during his mission to rescue his brother Ace.[28][29][11] Together, they break out of Impel Down.[15][30][31]

After the Impel Down breakout, Luffy and Jimbei head to the Summit War at Marineford and make their entrance in the war falling from the sky.[32] Jimbei then resigns his position as Warlord of the Sea.[ch. 557] Jimbei defeats Warlord of the Sea Gecko Moria during the war.[15][19] Luffy wins Jimbei's respect during the Summit War.[33][34] Jimbei witnesses the death of both Portgas D. Ace and Whitebeard.[ch. 575][ch. 578] After Admiral Akainu kills Portgas D. Ace, Jimbei risks his life to save Luffy from the same fate, and in the process is burned by Akainu's magma power.[15][11][27][ch. 578] Jimbei was crucial in ensuring Luffy did not end up killed by the Admirals.[17][15][19]

After the war ends, Luffy is distraught at the death of his brother Ace.[35][36] Jimbei encourages Luffy to "remember what you still have", to which Luffy responds, "I have my crew!!"[ch. 590][37][11] Jimbei's intervention was crucial in helping Luffy out of his depression.[15] Luffy decides his crew will train for two years to become stronger so they will be able to survive in the New World.[ch. 597]

After resigning his position as Warlord of the Sea and with Whitebeard dead, Jimbei joins the crew of Emperor of the Sea Big Mom in order to protect Fishman Island from pirates.[ch. 649][38]

Two years later, Jimbei waits for Luffy to arrive at Fish-Man Island. Jimbei tells the Straw Hats about his past with Fisher Tiger, Arlong, Hatchan, and Queen Otohime. They learn that Jimbei released Arlong into the East Blue, and also learn of the island's history.[23][24] Nami forgives Jimbei for his actions and reveals she holds no resentment towards Jimbei, only Arlong. This causes Jimbei to break down in tears.[39] Jimbei initially says the Straw Hats cannot fight Fish-Man supremacist Hody Jones due to the legacy of oppression at the island, unless they time the operation correctly so they become the heroes of the island. Jimbei enlists the help of the Straw Hats to prevent the Flying Pirates and New Fish-Man Pirates alliance's coup d'état against Fish-Man Island's royal family.[40][41][42][21] Jimbei and Sanji team up to defeat the giant Umibōzu Wadatsumi of the Flying Pirates.[43][44]

After the Straw Hats succeed, Jimbei gives his blood to a dying Luffy and tells the citizens that the law on Fishman Island is a farce, defying the taboo on Fish-men donating blood humans.[15][38][17][45] Jimbei and Luffy share the blood type F.[7] Luffy then invites Jimbei to join his crew.[ch. 648] Jimbei initially turns this invitation down, saying he must wait to sever ties with Big Mom.[ch. 649][21][9] Jimbei later befriends Wadatsumi (ワダツミ), a giant tiger blowfish-type fish-man who is a former member of the Flying Pirates. Wadatsumi and Jimbei deliver a Poneglyph from the sea floor to Big Mom.[ch. 785][46][47]

Jimbei reunites with half the Straw Hats when Luffy, Nami, Tony Tony Chopper, and Brook go to Big Mom's capital in Whole Cake Island to rescue their crewmate Sanji.[48][49][27] Big Mom initially refuses to accept Jimbei's request to leave her crew for the Straw Hats.[50][51] Jimbei helps ensure the Straw Hats' Thousand Sunny is not damaged by the Big Mom Pirates.[15] Jimbei rebels against Big Mom to free an imprisoned Luffy, a role reversal from two years ago.[52][53][15]

Jimbei and the Straw Hats confront Big Mom, leading to Jimbei to proclaim, "a man who would be crewmate of the future king of the pirates cannot afford to tremble in the presence of a mere emperor!!! ... As of this moment, I quit the Big Mom Pirates! I appreciate all you have done for me."[ch. 863][54][55][56][21][9] Big Mom chases the Straw Hats as they attempt to flee her domain, catching up to their ship the Thousand Sunny. She nearly capsizes the Sunny with a tsunami, but Jimbei skillfully guides the ship by tube riding, noting that the ship is of very high quality and needs a good helmsman.[57][58] Jimbei, Nami, Chopper, and Brook work together and manage to drive her away.[59][60] As they prepare to escape, the Sunny is caught, but Big Mom's forces are repelled by the Sun Pirates, who have come to see Jimbei off and wish him well.[59][60]

Jimbei elects to help his Sun Pirates delay Big Mom so the rest of the Straw Hats can make their escape. Jimbei and the Sun Pirates save Luffy, Sanji, Nami, Chopper, and Brook from Big Mom's empire. Luffy tells Jimbei to reunite with his new crew in the Wano Country.[61][62][ch. 901]

Jimbei keeps his word and joins the Straw Hats as the crew's helmsman when he reaches the Wano Country.[63][64][65][ch. 976][11][66][67][27][9] Emperors of the Sea Big Mom and Kaido form an alliance on Wano to take down the Straw Hats and their Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance with Wano revolutionaries.[68][69] During a war between the two alliances, Big Mom attacks Luffy, but is intercepted by Franky, Jimbei, and Nico Robin.[70][71] As the Straw Hats divide into individual fights with Kaido's officers, Jimbei confronts and defeats Who's-Who, a former CP9 agent with racist attitudes about Fish-Men.[72][73][74][75][27] The Straw Hats' allied ninja Raizo and Jimbei use stored water to extinguish a fire threatening to kill all on both sides of the alliance.[76][77]

Ultimately the Straw Hats' Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance prevails.[78][79][ch. 1051] Jimbei becomes recognized as one of Emperor of the Sea Monkey D. Luffy's Senior Officers.[ch. 1058][80][81]

Aboard the Sunny, the Straw Hats rescue Jewelry Bonney from a robotic sea beast; in the chaos, Luffy, Bonney, Chopper, and Jimbei are separated and wash up on Egghead Island, where Dr. Vegapunk, leader of the Navy's Special Science Group, has his laboratory; Bonney has traveled there to ask Vegapunk to restore the mind of her father, Bartholomew Kuma, and plans to kill Vegapunk if he is unable to do so.[82] Jimbei mentions Kuma's bad reputation as a tyrant, which Bonney insists is World Government propaganda.[80][83] On Egghead, Jimbei learns the World Government cloned the Seven Warlords into a new force called the Seraphim; Jimbei's clone is called S-Shark.[84][85] As the world reacts to Vegapunk's revelations about the mysterious Void Century 800 years ago, Jimbei and Zoro repel one of the Five Elders Nusjuro's attack on the Sunny.[86]

In other media

[edit]

In the anime television series adaptation of the manga, Jimbei is voiced by Katsuhisa Hoki.[1][87] In the Funimation English adaptation, her voice is supplied by Daniel Baugh.[88] Jimbei is mentioned by Arlong in the live action series, but has not yet appeared on screen.[89][90]

In addition to the anime, Jimbei is featured in many of the adaptations based on the One Piece media franchise, including films such as One Piece Film: Red,[91][87] video games,[92] and others productions. Ichikawa Enya II performed as Jimbei and Blackbeard in a kabuki play inspired by One Piece that ran at Tokyo's Shinbashi Enbujō throughout October and November 2015.[93][94] Jimbei is a playable character in the One Piece: Pirate Warriors fighting games.

Cultural and political impact

[edit]

Ideological impact

[edit]

As part of an effort to help Kumamoto Prefecture recover from the 2016 earthquakes, Oda helped set up 10 statues of the Straw Hats. Jimbei was the last statue, unveiled at Sumiyoshi Kaigan Park in Uto on July 23, 2022. The city's mayor quoted a famous quote from Jimbei ("Stop counting what you have lost. Think about what you still have,") to encourage resolve amongst the survivors of the earthquake.[95]

Jimbei's ideology of equality between peoples has been the focus of academic study and influenced some participants of the Gen Z protests in Asia.[96][13][12][10][97] One reviewer saw Jimbei's tale of the past of Fishman Island as "one of the heaviest, most three-dimensional examples of fantasy-world-racism-as-metaphor-for-real-world-racism I've seen."[39] An academic analyzed the themes of slavery, equality, and international relations within One Piece, which became the focus of the story when Jimbei's past was explored.[12] An analysis of the power relationship between humans and Fish-Man in One Piece wrote how Jimbei is the embodiment of “reconciliation through wisdom and efforts to establish equality.”[96] A participant in the 2025–2026 Philippine anti-corruption protests cited themes of peace and equality as portrayed in One Piece as a significant contributor to his worldview.[97]

Critical response

[edit]

One reviewer called Jimbei "a fatherly mentor in the One Piece series, always looking after Monkey D. Luffy as if he were his own son. Among the original Seven Warlords of the Sea, he was the final member introduced in the storyline, but he is arguably the most significant one."[98] Another reviewer noted Jimbei "taught us a lot about loyalty and about standing up for your ideals no matter what obstacles you face."[16][21] One reviewer argued Nami's forgiveness of Jimbei and his tearful reaction was one of the best episodes of the series, and "an important step in Jimbei's relationship" with the Straw Hats.[39] Another noted how Jimbei saving Luffy's life at Fish-Man Island with a blood donation despite the taboo on Fish-men donating blood to humans as "One of the series' most memorable and striking images".[17] One reviewer said this moment was Jimbei's best moment of heroism in rescuing his friends.[15] Another reviewer wrote admiringly of Jimbei's "commitment to joining Luffy."[11]

Popularity

[edit]

Jimbei is one of the most popular of the main characters in One Piece.[99] Jimbei ranked near the top of several Shōnen Jump character popularity polls.[n 1][17] The highest Jimbei ever placed in a popularity poll was sixth place in the sixth Japanese Jump popularity poll, after Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji, and ahead of Chopper, Nami, Robin, Usopp, Brook, and Franky.[100] Jimbei ranked as the 18th most popular character in the next popularity poll, the first to be held worldwide.[17]

Notes

[edit]
  1. One Piece has a total of eight official popularity polls.
