Gol D. Roger died 24 years before the events of One Piece, yet he still holds the highest ever recorded bounty of 5,564,800,000 berries. There are several characters, however, who might eclipse Roger's bounty. Several famous pirates can surpass Roger's bounty, but a few high-ranking Revolutionaries can earn higher bounties too. A special mermaid and giant can realistically get at least 5.6 billion berry bounties as well.

Roger gained his astronomical bounty after sailing to Laugh Tale and gaining the One Piece treasure. These feats earned him the Pirate King title. Roger was one of the strongest Haki users in history, and most of the characters who can surpass his bounty have incredible Haki of their own. Several of them also possess Devil Fruit abilities.

Fish-Man Island is the only true safe haven for fish-men and mermaids in One Piece. Among its many unique residents is Madam Shyarly, owner of the Mermaid Cafe. She profits from human travelers and protects her employees, but her real distinction is her ability to see the future. Every prophecy she has made has come true. Though she plays a minor role, one prediction remains unfulfilled, looming over the anime’s future.

Despite her power, Madam Shyarly stays out of Fish-Man Island’s affairs. She rarely looks into the future, but when she does, it's always significant. The origins of her ability — possibly linked to her crystal ball — are unknown. She’s had this gift since childhood, and it has long been recognized. Whether her presence simply adds to the Mermaid Café’s mystique or holds deeper meaning, she values her prophecies highly before the Straw Hats arrive.

2024 anime brought a lot to the table, including some excellent animated battles and the return or arrival of the powerful characters who fought in them. While 2024 had all kinds of excellent non-action anime too, many fans are most keen on the action/adventure series with swords, magic, and fists. And there have been plenty of famous anime powerhouses to keep the action going.

A handful of action anime series, mostly shōnen anime in particular, thrilled anime fans throughout 2024 with their explosive antics in all four seasons. That includes overpowered isekai heroes, demon lords, wizards, tormented half-other heroes, and even martial artists who just need their fists and guts to claim victory on the battlefield. Ten particular fighters stand out as being 2024's most powerful, setting a new bar for all action anime in this decade.

One of the most fun tropes in anime is for a character to be much older than they look. A character who may look like they're in their mid 20s can actually be hundreds, or even thousands of years old, creating an entirely new dynamic for the cast to deal with. Older characters that look young are usually the wisest, most powerful people around. They've lived long enough to learn a thing or two and usually aren't too concerned with what's going around them.

While some characters are fun in their youth, other characters remain young for more sinister reasons. Characters like Muzan Kibutsuji from Demon Slayer don't stay alive to help people out. Instead, they're sticking around to live the best lives possible, and they don't care who they need to sacrifice to achieve it.

The most powerful families in anime can be complicated, to say the least. Sometimes they're on the same side, other times they're not. Families like the Briefs in Dragon Ball have stuck together through thick and thin, and even though Vegeta can be a curmudgeon, his wife Bulma knows exactly how to handle him. Other families, like the Uchiha in Naruto, aren't as intimate but are equally, if not more, powerful. They act as a giant political force, controlling and influencing people around them to achieve their goals as a monolith.

The best families in anime don't have to be related by blood either, as seen by the Forgers in Spy x Family. They're a found family that chooses to be together, showing that not all bonds have to be determined by genes. No matter if an anime family is one cohesive unit, or a mismatch of characters that hate each other,...

Due to the sheer scope of the One Piece world, not every important event is going to be shared in the manga or anime. Often, these events are explored through the cover stories or Sbs, but even those can only focus on so many things. While the Rocky Port Incident is important to several characters in the anime, none of those characters are Straw Hat Pirates. As such, Eiichiro Oda said he isn't planning to expand on the topic more in the manga. Instead, he has finally shared a rough outline of the event in a Q and A within Weekly Shonen Jump 2024 Issue 49.

The Rocky Port Incident has been mentioned several times throughout the manga and anime. The main information that was shared is that Trafalgar D. Water Law, Marshall D. Teach and Koby were all important players during the event. This each gained something from the conflict that happened there,...

Last month, One Piece anime's 25th birthday marked its continuing legacy as one of the most successful, culturally pervasive, and financially lucrative pieces of fiction in history. The anniversary has seen numerous celebrations, including a new game, a critically acclaimed TV special, a free-to-watch streaming channel, and even a shocking announcement of a reboot/remake anime while the current one is ongoing. But for now, the long-running is on a six-month break. A remastered edition of its iconic "Fishman Island" arc, which drew a dividing line between One Piece's first 573 episodes (Old World) and the likely one-thousand episodes after (New World), will air in its place.

Given what One Piece represents, contributing to its music is an honor many would jump at. The unique care that goes into the soundtrack sails a high tide of unchanging foundations and constant evolution, characterizing much of the series' footprint. Performing a One Piece...

Koby was the first friend Luffy made when he embarked on his pirate journey. He started off as a scared and scrawny boy, but thanks to his dedication and Vice-Admiral Garp's training, he has become one of the strongest Marines in One Piece. The Egghead Arc revealed that Koby can use an advanced form of Armament Haki, and his strongest attack, Honesty Impact, has enough power to level an entire mountain. As a result, Koby can now defeat several of One Piece's strongest pirates.

Most of the pirates that Koby can destroy are captains or high-ranking officers. His Honesty Impact attack can take out some of Luffy's toughest opponents with one hit, and his standard Haki infused punches can beat certain pirates as well. Koby can now beat certain Yonko commanders, and he can take out a specific Yonko very easily.

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime is commonly regarded as one of the best isekai anime around, with a fairly close adaptation of the light novels even in the slower bits, with no signs of stopping after season 3. As confirmed by the That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime X (formerly Twitter) account, the hit anime will soon return for season 4, as well as its second anime movie in the franchise. With the season 3 finale releasing on September 27, 2024, this continues the running trend of popular new anime confirming an immediate return of its next installments.

Isekai animes have more freedom than their non-isekai counterparts. By taking their main characters out of the real world and placing them in a fantasy world, the best isekai anime series can operate using their own rules. That means protagonists can live in worlds with magic, granting them abilities their previous worlds never could have. Characters like Tanya van Degurechaff from The Saga of Tanya the Evil were normal people in their past lives. In their new lives, however, they're powerful characters capable of devastating powers.

Isekai protagonists are usually granted a special power when they enter their new worlds as well, making their fights even more exciting. No matter what ability is being put on display, a good isekai fight can rival the best fights in anime. They can also set the tone for the show their in, letting everyone know just how intense things can get.

Cross Guild is one of the many powerful organizations in One Piece, and it uses its military might and political influence to place bounties on Marines. It was founded by Crocodile and Dracule Mihawk, but Buggy the Clown is considered its leader because of an amusing clerical error. Cross Guild is essentially a small army, and it can wipe most pirate crews, but there are a few characters who can destroy the entire organization.

Most of the One Piece characters who can destroy Cross Guild are Yonko-level pirates, but a few high-ranking Marines can also get the job done. Celestial Dragons are known for being quite weak, but a certain elder can wipe out Cross Guild by himself. These characters can destroy Cross Guild because they possess immense Haki, and most of them also have slightly overpowered Devil Fruits.

Nami's betrayal of the Straw Hat Pirates was a shocking moment, but she had a very good reason for her actions. Nami's initial motivation for joining the crew was driven by her desire to settle a personal score with Buggy and obtain his treasure. The catalyst for Nami's betrayal was her discovery of Arlong's bounty poster, which evoked fear and anger and reminded her of her mission to confront him without endangering her new friends.

After sailing the harsh seas of the world of author Eiichiro Oda's One Piece, the bonds between the Straw Hat Pirates are now almost unbreakable. They know almost everything about each other, and they are willing to sacrifice even their own lives if it means helping their crew mates. Each of them also has a dream ambitious enough to make most people laugh. Even so, none of them think of their dreams as absurd,...
