It's not really that Luffy is asexual, as he has shown interest in the past. It's more likely that he isn't really attracted to physical traits, as it is that he would be attracted to the individual herself. It fits with his character, and he really knew nothing about Boa at this point - not that he ever actually does see her as anything more than a friend.

Each version of this anime makes me laugh, but I feel like the dub does the bath scene better. Because Hancock sounds a mix of offended, baffled, panicked, and alarmed all at once when she realizes that Luffy won't turn to stone. It's hilarious.

The 4-person head-tilt is one of my favourite scenes from One Piece. Everyone in the bath, including Luffy, equally confused.
Also, that scene is where the "Luffy is Asexual" headcanons *seriously* begin!

yeah subtitles are kinda weird but basically you can't "master" that thing some people are just born with it they're like "born leaders/conquerors" and it's different from "just haki" its a special haki (its basically what u can call charisma but that makes ppl faint lol)

He did also have a reaction when Bon Clay turned into Nami and showed the tatas

Conquerors haki or Color of the Supreme King, that subtitle dubbing doesnt explain it well, 1 in 1 million are born with it and an even smaller percentage even learn to use it.

😭 I know the animation is good and all but hopefully Alicia can tell the difference between the hakis when it gets to that point

And then they start confusing everybody by changing it to the Colors stuff

Yeah no, this is pushing modern sensibilities onto an anime, nothing and nobody has confirmed or even implied Luffy is asexual, hes just the standard model of a shonen protagonist, dense and completely oblivious to all things romantic or sexual.

I disagree entirely. Asexuality is something you find out about yourself. Luffy hasn't even considered that aspect of life. He has his own priorities, and sexuality isn't something he is concerned with. Some day he might find out he is asexual, just as likely as he is not.

I would also add that the translation they used, "Only one out of a million people can master that Haki!" is only technically correct. The translation I remember is "Only one in a million people is born with it!" Long story short: It really fucking rare.

Both Goku and Luffy are modeled after Wukong who has a child like mentality, they are just characters that don't think or care about those kind of things at all, if luffy would to ever develop a relationship (thing oda has said he really doesn't want to explore in his series) i think the most accurate term would be demisexual: based on his character if he ever develops attraction or feelings towards someone, it would be because of their personality, not their appearance

As great as a theory as this is, more likely he is just modeled after Goku, he just a dense motherfucker with very simple things in his head.

I think Luffy will probably have a child in an epilogue or something like that so saying he's aroace is a little bit weird

Just so you know for future reference, because I have seen many other reactors get confused on this, in the future whenever you see "Conquerors Spirit" or "Conquerors Haki" or "Color of the Supreme King", these all refer to the same thing, it is just different translation interpretations based on the time and who is translating at that point because the OP anime spans 25 years IRL. They are all translations of the term "Haoshoku no Haki".

Just remember commenters. Oda explains all in time. : ) I do love this small arc, and not just for the obvious reasons.

2024-05-27 21:22:20 +0000 UTC
I agree, but he also could be demisexual (I think it was called), where he is aro/ase unless he knows the charakter of a person and vibes with them. Since Oda never directly stated that he is ase that could be a future plotpoint (which I personaly doubt and wouldnt want, but I like being a devil(fruit) advocate)

at this point it's pretty much confirmed that luffy is prety much comletely asexual. he never once has really shown any interest in women (or men), or really anything sexual, outside that one scene in alabastar where they peeked on nami and vivi in the bath, but even that has been confirmed to be mostly a spur of the moment thing, born from usopp egging luffy on and him getting into the spirit of things. and if even seeing one of the most beautiful women in the world naked doesn't do it, i'm not sure what ever will.
but explains why luffy is completely uneffected by boa's (m)ero (m)ero powers.
