that fourth picture is cursed. |
| The audacity to compare her to Sakura left me speechless. She's not going to be as important to the story as Luffy nor will she ever get as much screen-time as Zoro, but does get more development later on, and she's useful in a fight when Oda desires it. She's also one of the most loyal members of the crew. |
| so basically u wanna be spoiled or what ? |
  |
| Nami gets infinitely better. Like with a lot of the characters, start off unlikeable and then slowly become likeable and then loveable. |
  Even If We Painstakingly Piece Together Something Lost, It Doesn't Mean Things Will Ever go Back To How They Were - Guts  |
| Nami starts off as greedy and seemingly only insterested in money and not caring at all about other people, including the other straw hats, she will change, obviously, as most have pinted out already, this occurs during the Arlong Park arc, I used to dislike her too, but now she is my favorite OP main character. Is she a good fighter? she is gonna get a weapon given to her by Usopp eventually, around episodes 140 or so, but even then, she won't even have that many fights, so is not really that important wherever she can fight or not. Is she only there for fanservice? well, I'm only at episode 300, so I can't quite reaffirm nor dispute the claim that she gets ruined after the time skip and becomes nothing more than a big tiddie waifu. Hope that helps you. |

NickCipolla said: I am 20 episodes in, I think a few arcs have been completed (the main one being the Usopp one). Zoro and Luffy dope, but Nami is pretty much a worse version of Sakura. Shes just as useless as Sakura, and has shit values where she has no loyalty or a strong will like the others. All I know about Nami is that her boobs grow bigger with more episodes, but does she at least become a good character at some point? Dude in all fairness, you're on episode 20 of a 1000 episode series and asking does it get better. |
| 100%. Arlong park would be the main decider on that question and you're approaching it |

smiledrhino987 said: your judging a show that is 1000 episodes long and complaining about its length? Don’t judge a show that’s this big 20 episodes in its obviously more about the fact that a show takes hundreds of episodes to finally get good. not hard to understand |
| She gets better, the manga is a lot better paced than the anime overall. So that's an option if you feel like things drag along too much in the anime. |
smiledrhino987 said: NickCipolla said: literal look no one said it takes hundreds of episodes to get good, everyone agrees it gets good at 23 or 30 your just making that 100 of episode statistic upits obviously more about the fact that a show takes hundreds of episodes to finally get good. not hard to understand most people agree who dont like one piece that it isnt good until the first time skip. |
yvg said: What kind of idiocy is it to ask such stupid questions after watching 20 episodes, when there are more than 1000 of them? And yes, Nami is the best female character in this manga and one of the best Shonen heroines in history. She is the most important member of the team, as she is a navigator and without her they would be nowhere. She will have a lot of cool moments. Sweet_Escape said: She's not going to be as important to the story as Luffy nor will she ever get as much screen-time as Zoro What? Nami is second after Luffy in terms of the amount of screen time. Zoro isn't even the third: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/El6Gd9IU8AAkqYt.jpg LMAOOOOOOOO he said a character whos most known for her tits is one of the best shonen female characrters ever! |
yvg said: NickCipolla said: LMAOOOOOOOO he said a character whos most known for her tits is one of the best shonen female characrters ever! Well, when you get older and stop staring only at boobs, kid, you will understand that this is a fact. Nami often ranks high in the TOPs of the best female anime characters in history. there are 50 FEMALE characters alone on MAL with more favorites. She is not even in the top 50 female characters and her show has been going on for 20 years. Its pretty clear shes not what you think she is considering theres even other girls in one piece more liked than her |

Its pretty clear shes not what you think she is considering theres even other girls in one piece more liked than her Mal is one of hundreds of sites with similar ratings, which in addition is filled with bots, lol. And even here, Nami is pretty high among all female characters. In Japan, polls were conducted for the best character of the old and new era, and Nami was ranked first as the best female character of the new era. Nami is also the third most popular character in One Piece according to a worldwide poll. So don't talk bullshit, little boob lover considering tiger and bunny was also rated the number 1 anime by japan, i'd say polls coming out of there arent very credible. then again, anyone who thinks nami is the third best character in one piece is pretty insane already. zoro and luffy are obviously locks for top 2, and u tryna put her up there right behind them? BAHAHAHAHAHA |

BAHAHAHAHAHA Are you saying that the tastes of the Western audience are better than the Japanese ones? Lol. Many will disagree with this. And yes, Nami comes right after Luffy and Zoro, according to the official worldwide poll https://i.imgur.com/vDXPRza.jpg Because Nami is a great character and everyone who has watched over 20 episodes knows this. So you can be hysterical as much as you want, it won't change the fact :D odd because if u go off what most people think who have seen the FULL show, there are nearly 10 characters with more favorites on this site. not sure why u keep referring to some japaenese poll when its obvious japanese love boobs more than character but you do you kiddo |
| i really like nami but sometimes she is also very annoying |
| :3 |
| She will become even worse than Sakura, she is there just for some action (if you know what I mean). |

Who's feeding u these lies? Most of the hate One Piece gets is from the post time skip. |
| yeah Nami isn't much likeable initially all she did was steal from pirates even I kind of disliked her in the beginning but yeah watch till Arlong Park there's significant development in her character. |
DonTheRevo said: NickCipolla said: most people agree who dont like one piece that it isnt good until the first time skip. Huh? Enies Loby and Marineford Arc are before the time skip and both are considered to be one the greatest arcs in the anime history. It's hard to troll when you have seen like 20 episodes LMAO Enies lobby is most definelty not regarded as one of the best arcs ever lol |
NickCipolla said: Theo1899 said: Arlong Park starts at episode 31. Watch it and be the judge. 30 episodes ugh, thats like an entire show normally 30 episodes in this show its 3% of the series thus far. Instant gratification much. |

DonTheRevo said: Like I said, it's hard to troll when you have seen like 20 episodes. You don't have to trust me, you can visit any site on the internet and you will see either Enies Loby or MarineFord up there, if not both in top 20 or top 10 All Time. (I regard Enies Loby to be top 3 Arcs All Time, followed by Shogun Assassination and, currently publishing, Wano Arc Im not going to talk yo you after this message. Once you have seen the entirety of One Piece, and have your own formed opinion, we can talk. Before that, no! first sit i visited had it not in the top 20, next had it at 18. if being the 20th best shonen arc in anime is something amazing to you then i feel bad for how low your bar is |
| I know damn well you didn’t just compare nami to Sakura. LOL not in the slightest bit even when we first meet her wtf are u watching???? |
Ethereal-peace said: I know damn well you didn’t just compare nami to Sakura. LOL not in the slightest bit even when we first meet her wtf are u watching???? sakura is a lot better than nami in pretty much everyway except boob size and looks |

NickCipolla said: I_love_gintama said: what did you expect when you started watching one piece? Something like," whole crew will be completed in episode 12 and the rest 1000 episodes is just their journey" or smth? One piece is a long anime and it takes its time to give every single character its own role and importance and development. nami isnt some kid like sakura is. shes a grown woman. her being an awful and annoying character for the first 30 episodes of the show isnt justfiable with " its because its got more episodes to go! " I am going to try and answer the Original Posters concerns here and sidestep all of the pointless immature debate going on in this thread. Nami's character arc progressively develops and changes, there is actually a reason why she is sort of annoying and somewhat has that sort of passive aggressiveness as if she isn't the Nakama you come to respect. I don't want to spoil anything but let’s just say the character Nami goes through a dramatic transformation after a certain story is revealed. It won't be that much longer in the series before you realize nami's true intensions and motivational purpose for joining Luffy on his adventure. That being said, with in regard to her capabilities as a Fighter in the series. As others have said, this is NOT sakura by any stretch. Nami evolves quite considerably in the series and eventually becomes quite powerful. As do all the straw hats. One thing I do have to mention is don't be put off by the often exaggerated representation of the characters goofy persona's and even weirdly strange abilities, this is just oda’s style of introducing characters with fighting mechanics that are more grounded as opposed to like DBZ which is like a Saiyan firing off Explosive Chi blasts to explode entire continents. Eventually you will get to that point in terms of power scaling, but the progression of the fighting mechanics evolves more naturally. As you will soon find out, how the crew gains new powers and new fighting weapons and skills is also something that is quite inovative and creative. |
