If fans could pick only one aspect that defines One Piece, most would pick its cast of characters. Running the gamut of quirks and motivations, they fill out the sprawling world made throughout the series and keep viewers coming back again and again to see how they’ll bounce off each other. Of the hundreds of pirates, marines, and wildcards found throughout the epic franchise though, some stand out as superior, and these are our picks for the top 30 best One Piece characters.

30. Laboon

Those who are caught up on the series shouldn’t have any qualms with Laboon kicking off this list.

The Expanse: A Telltale Series on PC

After I rolled credits on the first three episodes of The Expanse: A Telltale series, it hit me that this isn’t the same kind of experience Telltale Games was once known for.

To be sure, all of the usual elements are there. The episodes had choices that impacted the outcome of a longform narrative, and brief gameplay segments broke up the dialogue dumps to keep the experience breezy. There were even some scant moments where it was unclear what the best course of action would be, and I had to step away in order to weigh the consequences of what I could do.

From the cutest little demon to a wild pig-faced hunter, Demon Slayer is jam-packed with a whole bunch of one-of-a-kind characters. This rogue’s gallery is what gives the series its essence and makes it truly epic. Each character rocks their own killer style and attitude that sets them apart. To give these characters the recognition they deserve, we’ve crafted an awesome quiz that’ll help you discover which Demon Slayer personality matches you. So grab your sword, and get ready to unveil which character from Demon Slayer matches your vibes with this Demon Slayer quiz.

One Piece is host to a wide variety of characters, but the female characters in particular are some of its best. Host to tragic backstories aplenty and triumphant moments of success and dominance, they’re capable of carrying the fandom’s interest with ease (and not merely due to Eiichiro Oda’s “specific” choices in character designs). Of the many shown throughout the series though, these are our picks for the top 10 best One Piece female characters.

10. Jewelry Bonney

The only female member of the Worst Generation, Jewelry Bonney is one of the more mysterious members of this list.

Those who have tuned into the first few episodes of Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead were likely blown away by its quality, but also by the fact that its namesake monster isn’t the main source of dread for its characters.

Despite the snarling, oozing undead creatures seen shambling around the post-apocalyptic world, another force hangs heavy over the head of the show’s protagonists. It’s an insidious thing, and it slowly but surely latched onto him and refused to let go for years on end as his life slowly drained away along with any joy or happiness he once felt. In many ways, it made him no better than the reanimated husks that are currently tearing his world apart.

Oxenfree II: Lost Signals on PlayStation 5

Video Game sequels can be tricky to pull off, especially when they offer a continuation of their predecessor’s story. Not only do they need to offer a continuation or conclusion to what came before them, but they also need to innovate on what came before them to show their potentially lengthy development time was worth the wait. Oxenfree II: Lost Signals is no exception to these factors, but fortunately for fans, it proves itself more than capable of meeting these expectations.

Set roughly five years after the events of the series’ first game, Night School Studio‘s title places players into the shoes of a new protagonist: Riley Poverly, a vagabond who has returned to her hometown after several years to work a job installing transmitters for a local survey project. She’s joined by Jacob Summers, a local with unfulfilled aspirations and his own inner demons to deal with.

Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective on PS4

In the years since its initial release, Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective has remained a special offering even among Nintendo DS titles.

Designed specifically for the touchscreen-centric handheld device, it provided players with inventive and elaborate puzzles galore. Not only that, but it served up an engaging tale of mystery, quirky characters, and inventive gameplay which stood out even among creator Shu Takumi’s other notable titles from the Phoenix Wright series. Most anyone could find a worthwhile experience so long as they were willing to think outside the box and embrace some zanier twists and oddball problem solving concepts.

A new 2D Mario title has been unveiled in the form of Super Mario Bros Wonder, though it’s far from the usual approach to this classic series.

Revealed via a teaser trailer shown during the June 2023 Nintendo Direct live stream, the game features the usual side-scrolling and platforming the series is known for. As Mario advances further into the level though, he happens upon a Wonder Flower. Once collected, it shifts reality so that pipes begin to move, the background becomes awash in psychedelic colors, and Mario himself starts to bend and change according to the world arounds him.

Detective Pikachu is receiving a proper sequel in the form of Detective Pikachu Returns, and it’ll be available sooner than most might have expected.

During the Nintendo Direct held on June 21, it was revealed that the sequel to the Pokémon spinoff had been in development. Not only that, but it is nearly ready for release, with a launch date of Oct. 6, 2023 currently locked in.

When it comes to the first two chapters of Final Fantasy XVI, there’s plenty of material that could get people excited for the rest of the experience.

In addition to providing a solid look at the gameplay that players can expect, these early hours are packed with action, intrigue, and story. The title’s trademark Eikons clash in over-the-top battles with titanic levels of destruction, characters scheme and vie for more political power across nations, and the driving factor in protagonist Clive’s quest for revenge is shown plainly.

Even among the strange and winding history of Capcom, few titles stand out the way Ghost Trick does.

Helmed by Ace Attorney creator Shu Takumi, the title made the quirky adventures of his oddball lawyers seem tame in comparison. Its tale of an amnesiac ghost attempting to save those around him, and change their fate through various time travelling shenanigans, was about as novel of a premise as one could hope to find on any gaming platform period. This is to say nothing of the puzzles, which could be genuinely tricky to figure out and fun to overcome using the Nintendo DS-specific mechanics.

The Chainsaw Man manga is well on its way into a new arc, and the problems its protagonists must face continue to mount. Asa’s mission continues to become more difficult due to her relationship with Denji, while Denji has new enemies to contend with.

Fortunately, we’re here to help with our Chainsaw Man Chapter 133 release date and spoilers guide.

Skull and Bones is back with fresh signs of life via a live musical performance, new trailer, and a firm closed Beta date penned for later this year.

During the official Ubisoft Forward showcase held during Summer Game Fest 2023, a live musical performance was held to footage of the game. The band Home Free sang a title track sea shanty from the game, and played instruments as footage of characters blasting, sailing, and exploring played over a screen in the background. It was an oddly effective angle for showing off the game, and does speak to the quality of the upcoming title’s soundtrack.

To say Street Fighter 6 has been a godsend for the hallowed fighting game series would be an understatement.

Following a wave of what can only be described as glowing reviews from most every outlet — ourselves included — the game has received widespread attention. Over 1 million players flocked to the title in its first three days of availability alone, and it was quickly confirmed that it had the sales numbers to back up this milestone while also pushing the series’ lifetime sales over 50 million units.

As was shown in past previews, players can swap out the pieces that make up their ship to customize it with the armor, weapons, and modules they find to be the most useful. Doing so will impact how easily they can fend off attackers, how fast the ship is, and how well it can maneuver through space.

Microsoft has officially unveiled a new model of Xbox Series S with a bigger storage capacity, and it’ll release in just a few months.
