@dagmarabiernat2783 it's not finished. The mangaka has health problems. So she only releases a new chapter every 4 months. But it's so good and worth the suffering.❤
I havent seen OP at all, but I think this design would step on the toes of other characters fitting the "battle oriented" role, Nami gives me more trickster vibes than someone who will punch you really hard
yeah. id like a woman with the same vibes as this design for sure, but nami just isn’t that person. honestly, her fights are some of my favourites bc of how not battle-oriented she is lol
It wouldn’t make sense for Nami to have an axe with the role she plays in the Strawhats, as more of the intelligent trickster, who isn’t fighter oriented makes he one of the only characters in the Strawhats that can relate to Usopp, but I do wish Nami had this design minus the axe, it would’ve been so cool and went well how she tends to tinker and invent things so having a robotic arm would’ve been so interesting
Oh I absolutely love any type of concept art, it really shows personality to a character, and just helps us know what direction the character could have originally been going in
I like how both Nami and Sakura both seemed to have started with them both having really big axes and the author's changed their minds.... It was an era where the idea of a little girl having a huge weapon was popular....
i love the current design (since it’s a lil more subtle fits in the theme of pirates fits her character yada yada ya) but those ASYMMETRICAL PANTS? HAS ME IN A CHOKEHOLD MAN
The climatact is too unique for me ever wanting her using another weapon. Its made for Nami and using it with Zeus makes some fantastic panels Keeping the arm tho wouldve been so cool
I like the final version more, Nami's weather powers are more linked to her character development. Nami alone had a staff and was mostly self-serving. She made friends and Ussop with his limited skills made a staff with magic tricks . They broaden their horizons and get better technology and skills and bonds as a Pirate crew.
If someday there will be a time travel I want you guys to make Nami from this splash art real (we all know her fight-scenes suck, this will make her even better)
the original design also looks like bulma and kinda makes sense because they both technically navigate something and oda does gets inspiration from dragonball
it is interesting to see that the 'science fiction' aspects were in the planning stages, but somewhere along the line Oda decided to push those back until after The East Blue to make The East Blue itself look more simple compared to the Grand Line.
I haven't watched One Piece, but holy shit this design is absolutely fucking amazing I wish they had gone with that, although it's understandable why they didn't
I like it, but I can't see it fitting with who Nami is at all. She looks like a rough barbarian warrior, not the crafty "cat burglar" she actually is. But it does look very cool
Only Barret. From the Final Fantasy series. Is the only character, to have a prosthetic arm. Yuffie, Tidus, and many characters. Are actually wearing arm gauntlets. It makes it look like they are missing an arm. Technically not really. Shin Megami Tensei does this with the protagonist of Digital Devil Story Megami Tensei II. Where he receives a prosthetic arm later in the second half of the game. Also, one of the only characters to lose a body part.
I love the concept art and I secretly hope that this design could be reworked into another One Piece character someday. However, it makes sense why Oda didn't use this design considering how he paced the world building. IMO, considering the fact we meet her near the beginning, her having a super lifting robo arm + giant axe (still undeniably cool 😎) would have been too distracting in the early parts of the Pirate adventure. Additionally, Frankie's whole bit is being the SUPER bionically engineered man and he holds that role well enough on his own.
I really liked the idea but I also don’t think it would have worked with the personality we got. But I wish he would have reused some of the aspects with other female characters
I'd love a stronger Nami and the automail arm (doing that would be easier than doing a full body robot of Frankie, so the time saving argument doesn't stand btw), but I think this design would need a whole different personality/character arch. Also I really love Nami's weather staff, it's unique and shows off her intelligence, and only she can use it because she has extensive knowledge of weather which is very beneficial to sailing/her navigation. Would love it if there were more stronger/heavy hitter type women in the series though.
Oda can no longer draw women that aren’t specifically a very round and fat or extremely skinny with big boobs. Those are like the only two body types we’re gonna get until the end of One Piece. He refuses to draw anything else😭
@@solarmoth4628 it sucks, I like having figurines of my favorite characters but the one piece women figurines mostly just look like something a perv would have, I got a couple and my family was hardcore judging me, and I'm a woman myself T-T
I think the only reason it wouldn’t work is just, there really needs to be weaker characters on board to balance them out. I imagine it’s already hard enough to have a constant revolving of side characters along with (until jimbei) a growing of main characters as well. Giving them all unique personality’s reasons to be there, and even just as simple as an equal amount of dialogue. So I think it was for the best for the show and her character to not be simply another brute force character, and that In itself always makes me mad about characters like brook or chopper, they’re obvi there to round out the cast of “weaker” character and kinda for cute or comedy moments. But they’re both quite strong in their own right and are under utilized to me specifically chopper.
I think it's also because you already have Franky. Maybe this was before Franky was thought out, but after coming up with him Oda decided ut was too redundant. This design seems to imply Nami would have had a similar role. Idk how Oda's process worked, but since luffy states early on saying he want's 10 members in his crew and many authors start limiting their amount of characters to avoid getting out of hand maybe he wanted to make 10 and they ended up too repetitive. This design is fire tho
Honestly I like nami how she is right now and I think the main reason she doesent look like that is that she probably wouldn’t have needed Luffy as desperately or at all to beat Arlong so they wouldn’t have had one of the main characters or one of the most important moments. In fact, we probably wouldn’t have seen Nami at all as she would have killed Arlong and wouldn’t need to buy back her village.😊
ngl I would've loved to see the original idea of Naruto than what we got, no Saskue, Naruto IS Kurama, and it takes place in a modern city. And before you say anything about me not wanting saskue I just dont like the idea of the need for a rival. I think that naruto not having anyone rooting for him is enough for him to achieve what he did.
I'm sorry but i love the way the current Nami is, both her role, her character design and her inventory are already perfect for me... Like we already have so many physically strong women characters in one piece and anime media in general, not saying it's a bad thing but it'd be hard to make a female character who is physically strong without her being generic...
Its doesn't really fit that well with her characters, and having TWO prosthetic Ace hand character in the first few chapter would be a bit too much, that's probably why it was changed
I think I'm in love with characters that have one arm either robotic, or other kind of difrend from the rest of their body
FRRR Yuffie, Edward Elric, Anakin Skywalker, Jet from Cowboy Bebop, Violet Evergarden, I COULD GO ON
Or you have an amputee fetish💀
Allen Walker from D.Gray-Man! 😁
Speaking of which, I really need to finish it 🤔😅
@@dagmarabiernat2783 Absolutely, yes. Man I need to finish that one
@dagmarabiernat2783 it's not finished. The mangaka has health problems. So she only releases a new chapter every 4 months. But it's so good and worth the suffering.❤

thats exactly it.

@@longingmeow there is plot induced stupidity but it's fun
I'm more impressed with the less exaggerated proportions tbh. Her waist looks big enough for internal organs :0
That's just how his older art style looks like but I think the anime exaggerated it more.
I absolutely adore this design I think it makes nami’s character designa little cooler
I love cyborg Nami but I honestly think her climatacts are much cooler and fit her navigator role.
It wouldn’t make sense for Nami to have an axe with the role she plays in the Strawhats, as more of the intelligent trickster, who isn’t fighter oriented makes he one of the only characters in the Strawhats that can relate to Usopp, but I do wish Nami had this design minus the axe, it would’ve been so cool and went well how she tends to tinker and invent things so having a robotic arm would’ve been so interesting
If this design was chosen by oda I think arlong park arc wouldn’t exist which was pretty important arc for the development of fishman island arc
This, Arlong Park was where I absolutely started loving One Piece with how surprisingly deep/emotional it can be.
On the one hand, it looks so cool. On the other hand, I like how Nami looks as she is right now.
No, the other hand is a robotic looking arm
@@meisrerbootyeah 😅
Bro Nami would be apart of the monster trio
I WISH SHE HAD THIS DESIGN
Oh I absolutely love any type of concept art, it really shows personality to a character, and just helps us know what direction the character could have originally been going in
We've been robbed of a badass Nami design here 😢
I like how both Nami and Sakura both seemed to have started with them both having really big axes and the author's changed their minds....
It was an era where the idea of a little girl having a huge weapon was popular....
It's really cool, but Franky exists 😔
Maybe use it for like a different world or dimension and have both versions of the straw hats
i love the current design (since it’s a lil more subtle fits in the theme of pirates fits her character yada yada ya) but those ASYMMETRICAL PANTS? HAS ME IN A CHOKEHOLD MAN
The climatact is too unique for me ever wanting her using another weapon. Its made for Nami and using it with Zeus makes some fantastic panels
Keeping the arm tho wouldve been so cool
I like the final version more, Nami's weather powers are more linked to her character development.
Nami alone had a staff and was mostly self-serving. She made friends and Ussop with his limited skills made a staff with magic tricks . They broaden their horizons and get better technology and skills and bonds as a Pirate crew.
If someday there will be a time travel I want you guys to make Nami from this splash art real (we all know her fight-scenes suck, this will make her even better)
I want that outfit to appear in the movies where they really go crazy with the clothes
I'm always a fan of a small cute character with a huge brutal weapon, so I woulda loved that version of Nami
Can you cover the original Tanjiro design
Concept Nami walked so Kikoru could run. Always love a badass gal with an axe
Omg, i woulda loved nami likes this.
Drawing this detailed metal arm in a weekly manga?
Extremely hard, especialy since One piece is the author's first manga series
THAT SHIT LOOKS FIRE!!!
I used this concept for a one-piece themed dnd session.
I quite like the old design, it looks super badass, and it would be interesting to see a character wield a giant axe
No, i want a full manga of nami looking like this, that's a look that comes with a spotlight, i wan her full story about it
ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? THIS DESIGN IS A KEEPER 🔥🔥
If this was added nami would protect ussop fr 🙏😭💀
I think they scrapped it because the axe would've made her look more like more of a fighter than she actually is
i think they should of kept it similar but like you said not to final fantasy
the original design also looks like bulma and kinda makes sense because they both technically navigate something and oda does gets inspiration from dragonball
Yes they should have cabbage rock look
it is interesting to see that the 'science fiction' aspects were in the planning stages, but somewhere along the line Oda decided to push those back until after The East Blue to make The East Blue itself look more simple compared to the Grand Line.
Imagine nami's happiness punch 💀💀💀
Cursed chopper 💀
I like shirtless nami
They could totally use that design for a Nami from an alternate reality.
I haven't watched One Piece, but holy shit this design is absolutely fucking amazing I wish they had gone with that, although it's understandable why they didn't
Carrying around a giant axe probably clashed with the idea of a nimble cat burglar of early Nami design. Axe Hand Morgan where the ideas got pushed to
Oda prolly needed Nami to be a weakling just to be protected by the crew. That design makes her a strong character.
I prefer the final direction of Nami's character but it does look cool asf
I like it, but I can't see it fitting with who Nami is at all. She looks like a rough barbarian warrior, not the crafty "cat burglar" she actually is. But it does look very cool
*Cedgehog shows a pic of nami with robotic limbs
*Me: You're the fullmetal, The fullmetal alchemist!
Better see Tanjiro's 😂😂

Where he receives a prosthetic arm later in the second half of the game. Also, one of the only characters to lose a body part.
Fun fact: the non symmetrical pants from the original design for nami were used for live action Nami’s design.
That Nami design looks like it could thrash Arlong... so maybe that's why.
I think the arm makes it more Full Metal Alchemist then Final Fantasy.
It’s the Tidus stand with sword recreated
keeping the old design would have been great but i feel sorry for the animators
i wonder if she has the robotic arm because she cut the previous one off instead of getting a new tattoo lol
I love the concept art and I secretly hope that this design could be reworked into another One Piece character someday.

GIVE HER THE AXE BACK AT LEAST
Concept nami has big Axe but now instead she got big a-
I really liked the idea but I also don’t think it would have worked with the personality we got. But I wish he would have reused some of the aspects with other female characters
She would be to complicated to draw for a milionth time xD
I like it after time skip

Since we got used to seeing this character design,the concept art feels strange.
Oda recycled that design for a member of the Giant Pirate crew.

I really like the look but it was probably dropped cause they took nami's character in another direction. AKA: a lover not a fighter.
Kept

He should have tweaked it , that way we wouldn't get Nami (strength wise) being the weakest of the weak trio

It kinda seems like they recycled it for Eustace
One of the most famous is nami nah fam it's itachi
The tats aren't on this design though😩
I like Sanji old design better
I feel like it wouldn’t fit her personality and other reasons probably including Sanji
It's a great design, but it doesn't fit Nami as we know her. You'd have to change her character and the story in general quite a bit to make it work.
E
Its doesn't really fit that well with her characters, and having TWO prosthetic Ace hand character in the first few chapter would be a bit too much, that's probably why it was changed
It looks like bulma
Nope it's not
the original design for nami is too gay for her character
What does this even mean
She gay for Vivi
Nah I think it looks dumb. Just like final fantasy
