Brooks next please I’m crying

One of the funniest things in One Piece regarding Franky, for me, is the contrast of him joining the crew compared to Brook. Franky’s recruitment was an entire saga of him having to earn the Straw Hats’ trust, but also the Straw Hats needing to earn his trust as well. And then at the beginning of the very next arc, Luffy meets a walking talking skeleton, talks to him for less than a minute, and then goes, “Hey, wanna join my crew!?”

Anyone who doesn't see how well their relationship (be it platonic or not) works, isn't paying attention. They shared quite the story in Water 7, they are both marked by similar past trauma, were both wronged by the world government as children and they are the most mature crew members. Franky is a goofy guy, sure, but he fits the big brother role perfectly with his compassion, passion and knack for lightening up the mood. Maybe even a fatherly one considering how good he's with children and the youngest straw hat members. And both are in their thirties. It's no wonder that Oda initially thought of them as the groups parents and he does seem to enjoy giving both cute little moments together, even depicting them as very close in various cover art.

Franky is an important character for the crew because he is an older, more settled character. Given that every character up to Chopper is a teenager on joining (read: up sized baby), it's important balancing to have such a character. We see it too in post Enies Lobby Robbin, in Brook and Jinbei. People who know who they are and what they want, stable identities that help anchor the wilder burning passions of the younger members.

People often point to Robin’s “I want to live” as the best part of EL, but the part that will always stick in my mind is the conversation on the sea train. Something about how Robin heard that and then continues to see evidence of that statement over the next several episodes is what leads to her big moment, but I think the start of that process is often overlooked in its importance. I think it’s also incredibly salient in terms of theming for the rest of the series. Especially going into marineford given Ace’s entire life basically.

Franky is a pillar of support for the Straw Hats. He's like a weird big bro who loves to build things his found family needs. While also being quick to throw hands for anyone he comes to empathize with. He has a huge heart and wears it on his sleeve. He may be a cyborg with most of his body being machine but at his core he's very human because of his huge heart. Goddamn can Oda write some fantastic characters.

"I can't help liking stupid men" is the best explanation as to why I'm in love with almost every male character in this series. SUPER thank you for helping me understand that I am, in fact, not crazy.

I reread water 7 recently, and my God is Franky one of the most fleshed out strawhats. He's so sure of himself, strong out of the gate and his motives, which seem shady, is all in service of his people. he feels indebted to his people and had to suppress his dream coz of his guilt. On top of all of that he is the definition of a man. Doing what needs to be done, being confident and not shying away from crying when the moment calls for it. He will forever be my favourite strawhat

What he said to Robin on the sea train is one of my favorite scenes in the series. Without that talk, it's likely Robin wouldn't have said "I want to live". She needed someone to tell her in no uncertain terms that her life is not forfeit.

The only flaw in Post-Time Skip Franky is that he doesn't have his iconic pompadour as much. Other than that he is amazing!

Franky is one of the Straw Hats I wished got more important roles. The entire crew are all amazing characters but only half of them get very important roles.

I love Franky so much. I feel like he gets overshadowed by other characters, but he is absolutely amazing.

For me, Franky is a perfect man. I mean, look at him! He is funny, he is bright, he is so much talented, hardworking and creative! He is a massive man, but he is incrediously gentle despite all of his goofiness! And his strong neck... It does things with me...

What I love the most of franky is how protective he is when it comes to his family and crew. A perfect example was how he got angry in thriller bark and called the straw hats there, his little brothers and sisters.

One of the most badass lines I've seen from Franky is when Lola asked him to marry her, and he replied that he's too cool and it wouldn't work out.

As someone who just got back from spring break in florida, I can confirm that there are hundreds of franky clones walking around down there

Its always weird to remeber how old Franky actually is, he doesn't act like it at all and its great

I love Franky, I love the parallels to Robin and Luffy, which is why they're usually on team Whatever Luffy Wants to Do Is Fine by Me. I'm looking forward to seeing more of the dynamic between Robin, Franky, and Jinbei because I love that scene of Robin, Franky, and Brook waiting for the samurai to climb up Zunesha but then falling asleep 😅. Franky is such a great example of masculinity too. He's never ashamed of crying. He feels things deeply and he doesn't shy away from those feelings. His fight with Señor Pink and his line at the end is one of my favorite moments in Dressrosa. Also, the pride he takes in helping the Tontattas.

I personally have for years thought that Franky may very well be the only character Oda ALWAYS loves to draw. He loves all of his characters for sure, but all writers and artists sometimes feel tired of drawing or writing the same characters. But in many ways, as you said, Franky's character arc is complete to the point Oda can just have fun with him. Franky doesn't need moments of introspection or faltering, he doesn't need to develop as a character in the same way as the others. So Oda seems to just indulge all of his silliest and funniest ideas whenever he draws Franky doing or saying anything. He's a walking cheesy 80's movie character throwing corny one liners and being cool and fun all the time. He seems like the expression of the childlike joy that seems to have driven Oda into creating One Piece in the first place. He gives Franky all sorts of moments from being a silly doofus to being an ultra cool Terminator-type Cyborg. He gets moments saving other, clowning on bad guys, he gets epic entrances and amazing moments and it all feels organic, natural to the character and never out-of-character, because all of that is exactly who Franky is. And has always been. Luffy has grown more serious over the course of the series, becoming in certain terms less naive. Nami has grown to love her new family more than the money she used to hoard for her old family. Robin has opened up and become less serious and more trusting. But Franky is the same character he always has been, because he's already "done" with his development. He's similar to Brook and Jimbei in this regard. And coincidentally, they're all older and more experienced than the rest of the crew, who seem to evolve as characters more. And surely, all of the main characters get their spotlights, but still, my favorite scenes in the entirety of the new world have been with these three: Jimbei, being unafraid of Big Mom, offering her the cup of Sake in order to maintain his honor until the end. Brook, standing in front of an Emperor of the Seas, calling her a "young lady" and asking what kind of a fool regards their own death as a part of the plan. Franky wiping the tears of his defeated opponent, and wishing that some day, over a drink, Pink could tell her about the woman named Russian. I feel like those moments manage to, in just a few panels, completely condense everything that those characters are all about into a simple sentence or gesture. They're done growing, and it shows in the most amazing of ways. Franky is a man of pride, conviction and strength, but he's also filled with compassion and appreciation towards others, their struggles, losses and dreams. Many seem to regard him as the father of the crew, and honestly, I can't blame them. He, more than any other character among the Strawhats, seems to portray the most important qualities of one.

This makes so much sense actually 👏 Franky doesn't need a character development anymore since he is already there. He is now a stable pillar for the straw hats ❤

Franky’s emotionality being a core pillar of his masculinity, and that emotionality being so consistently expressed really makes Franky a great character! And I’m always 100% here for stories of self inflicted physical transformation being visual metaphors for radical self actualization. It’s a real real shame that he has had so few moments to really shine after the timeskip. He may be on the other side of his hardest moments, but that means he should have been given more time to help his allies and enemies get through their own. Become the SUPER man every person strives to be!

I really like how you highlighted Franky’s development and some of his iconic lines. It definitely refreshed my memory and my appreciation of his character. When I first read this part of the story, the translations must not have included the reference to the henshin/hentai pun and I was seriously confused why he was called a pervert. As a European, I didn’t get why people gave him shit for wearing speedos. Woman in One Piece, wear bikinies all the time, so let the man wear his speedos in peace.

Franky’s my favorite Hat on a surface level because, I mean, look at him. But he’s also my favorite on a narrative level, because the story of an inventor whose creations went on to hurt someone is really tragic to me, enough so that Franky turned himself into his greatest weapon to ensure the only one with their finger on the trigger is him.

Franky was one of my favorite straw hats from the get-go. He's so goofy, loveable, and earnest. He's not afraid to be unapologetically himself and his passion for building and his love for his machines never fails to make me smile. That's not even to mention his relationship with Robin makes them feel and act like the supportive parents to the hyperactive children that are the rest of the crew.

I just love how Franky is always the big brother, he’s the fun older bro with the younger straw hats but is more mature and relaxed with the older members.

A lot of people sleep on franky, but I personally love him. His energy, I love his pre timeskip pompadour, even his design post timeskip, I thought looked very franky. I don't love the buzz cut that shows up in all his promotional material, but I like how his hair changes between each arch.

Once again, you killed it. Franky is possibly my favorite Strawhat for all the reasons you addressed here.

Watching this it makes me think Franky will be really important for the end game, especially the final island. reason being is we will likely either meet the person who created the great ancient weapons, or we'll meet someone related to that. I think only Franky would know how to help that person, and how to give love to the spirits within those weapons, well along with usopp.

Your ability to absolutely lust for every character you analyze (except Doffy of course) is why I subscribed

Hear me out, when Tom is giving the speech to Franky there is another aspect to it. He tells Franky that no matter what his creations do or how they turn out that at least their creator should love them. This is exactly why Franky is an orphan though. His parents threw him overboard off the pirate ship and left him to die. This maybe the orphan in myself coming out, but I think it's what Franky needed to hear in more ways than just the ships he builds. Franky needed to learn to love himself and acknowledge that he's worthy of that. Tom may not have created Iceberg or Franky, but he certainly patched them up and shaped them into the young men they became. Tom in his own way, in my mind, was telling Franky that he loved him no matter what. That was also exactly the lesson Robin needed to learn and hear.

There is one thing I would like to add. When oda draw the good and bad future strawhats, he draw the bad Franky as a ship. So I always felt it important for Frankys character to, yes enjoy his creations. But he also should not let himself become a total machine. When I saw Franky after the time gap I thought it was a dangerous, to see Franky become more machine than human. I don't think this is truly to happen, but I do believe that oda plays this as a danger for Frankys character, he shouldn't lean into. 😊 Love your videos melontee ❤

A moment I don't hear much discussion on is when Iceberg tells Franky to forgive himself. It felt heartwarming, since before, Iceberg told Franky he'd never forgive him. And this was under all the goofiness of Franky's speedos getting stolen.

Franky is truly one of the most remarkable characters for me. My second favourite strawhat

His fight with Mr Pink is sincerely one of the peaks of One Piece, Franky is a beatiful person

Something I appreciate about Franky (my favorite character in this entire show) is that while he is a pervert it's all about himself. He doesn't thirst after women and doesn't disrespect them, but recognizes their beauty. He didn't take advantage of the twins when he first met them, but took them under his wing. He charmed Nami recently in Wano but only as a big brother. He's all about self love baby and that's just SUPER!!!

Just decided to rewatch water 7 yesterday and god, my love of Franky was really reignited. Adore him, so glad you made this video!

Literally the most underrated Straw hat, alongside Jinbe. Franky is absolutely my favorite One Piece character and has ever since I saw him. So seeing this video is quite nice, makes a fella smile.

"He stays on the same wavelength for the majority of one piece" I feel like a lot of people demand that a character grow, but honestly flat characters can be just as good as round ones. Jack Horner from the new Puss in boots movie is a great example of a flat character

Absolutely LOVED this video! Franky is one of my top favorite SH and it’s so great to see someone deep dive into his character like this. SUUUUUPERRRR!!!

One thing that wasn't mentioned in the video (And maybe the comments idk I didn't scroll down all that much) is that Luffy literally offered the Flare-Flare fruit to Franky in Dressrosa when he learnt about it. That is the devil fruit Ace, his brother, had, and we know it's of major significance to Luffy because he isn't going to just let anyone eat it. Let me repeat that; Luffy offered his dead brother's devil fruit to Franky. If that doesn't at least solidify the fact that Franky also acts as some sort of big brother to the straw hats and they see him that way too, then I don't know what would

I pretty much cry every time Melon uploads because the content is just. Exactly what people need to hear but this time I was like; "Oh no they are talking about Water 7 looks like the next 24 hours are weeping softly"

*Franky is SUUPPEEEER! goated.* Not mentioned, but Franky is a great role model for healthy/positive masculinity, too. I love how she did a deep dive on Franky and didn't even talk have to about his best fight, the one with Senor Pink _(it was so hard-boiled!)._ That just goes to show how well written his (underappreciated) character already is.

i didn't immediately love him however his consistency throughout being with the strawhats made me love his character. so dependable....

On fishman island when Franky explains to Luffy that his master's brother is fixing the ship and Luffy replies with a bunch of words that doesn't make sense and Franks says yeah something like that 😂😂😂😂😂He completely understood Luffy and knew there was no point explaining him and just gave him the thumbs up, as a older brother I have lost count of how many times I have done the exact same thing

Now viewing Franky as the embodiment of Florida man, his post time skip glow up makes a lot more sense 😂

Ah yes the wholesome family Just appreciating them more now

I also adore how Tom's lesson about being proud of the ships he built was a thinly veiled analogy for Franky being abandoned by his pirate family. Tom is so adamant about this not only because of his shipwright ideals, but also because he loves franky and he wants franky to know that it isn't his fault he was abandoned and he deserves to have someone who is proud of him and loves him.

I am a florida man and I can confirm that we do wear everything except the speedo. Usually it’s open Hawaiian and shorts or open Hawaiian shirt and completely naked covered in a mysterious white powder.

I think that he and Shanks are Oda’s paragons of “non-toxic masculinity”- by which I mean, both are kind, soft at heart and not afraid to embrace their emotions, but while Shanks is sensible and peaceful Franky is pure chaos

i honestly enjoy that the majority of the straw hats in present day are basically at the end of their mental journeys. they help other people just like their captain and dont need to worry too much about improving themselves anymore. i enjoy character struggles/growth as much as the next guy but it’s nice to see them all happy :) (*sanji suffering in the background)

I aspecially love his interactions with Luffy, tbh x"3 There are both such open Himbos but in the same Time, Franky knows when to be logical and helps Luffy recignice the situation from that angle a bit more. On the other hand when Luffy comes up with some cracy Ideas Franky is one of the first once to say "Yo, I was thinking the same Thing! Let's do it!" X"D

I always wondered how franky got his forearms through his shirt sleeves

This video was SUUUUPER!!! Franky is definitely my favorite character because he is unabashedly himself at every chance and he definitely has big brother energy

I love Frankie. Now that he's part of the crew, I couldn't imagine the crew without him.

You may not like it, but this is what peak male performance looks like

To this day I still think about how Tom's speech about boats not being built good or evil applied perfectly to Robin too... it's so good!! Also I can't believe the frog that swam crole style wrestling the train made me cry, total one piece moment.

Honestly, I'd watch a whole ass video of parallels between all the families presented in one piece and how that ties in with the bigger plots and themes of the story, especially after the conclusion of Wano, which to me, featured this topic pretty heavily. Anyways, love all your videos, keep doing GOda's good work. Cheers!

New MelonTree video just dropped, let's grab the popcorn.

Franky had a weird introduction for me since his first action is beating up Ussop but his conversation with luffy as he's chasing him back to the sunny in water 7 was so wholesome, reminded me of sanji talking about the all blue

"sometimes what a person needs isn't logical solutions but someone who can understand their emotional distress" is a very basic lesson I think more of us need to remember in real life... Great video! Always happy to see Frankie love.

Franky was on of my favorite characters from Water 7 on and he will never reach the heights of my fave faves or the lows of disappointment Sanji (a former face until his perversion just became too much) has put me through, but he doesn’t need to. He’s solid, he’s reliable, he’s strong when he needs to but shows great empathy and compassion, he is opinionated and firm in his values, but not to the point of being stubbornly rigid, and he is just generally a great guy who wants the best for his found family. #1 Team Dad in my opinion and to be perfectly honest he and Robin are the only two Straw Hats I ship because Oda basically made it canon anyway in an SBS and their chemistry (both positive and negative) is just gold. I like that Franky’s a static character, to be honest. The Straw Hats needs stability and Franky provides that in a way. One of my favorite parts of Thriller Bark was seeing the changes he brought to the crew in helping them work together and develop as a unit, bringing his past experience as head of the Franky Family to the table, and I am still upset we never really got to see that again because it was so good. Luffy may be the glue that holds the crew together, but Franky helped build that into something even better, focusing on not only improving himself and the ship, but also his crew mates. Anyway, Franky is such an underrated character and I’m happy to see him getting the respect he deserves.

Thank you Melon for all these OP vids, you are both giving me a fresh look on some of the things in the series (as I've last watched or read it a while ago) and also reigniting my passion for OP. Keep on rocking!

Robin and Franky sure share a bond. She introduced him to CBT. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy of course, what else would it mean?

You make by far the best One Piece video essays on YT! I binged all of them throughout this week. Hope you will make something about my main Man Whitebeard someday

Franky became one of my favorite characters almost right away, & he’s truly become my favorite over time. Him getting his development in the arc that introduced him only made me love him like I do the others faster.

I love Franky and wish he had more time to shine.

I had never seen Franky in this way because I watched this part of one piece when I was still a teenager. Now with a more adult perspective I can see them in a different light. Great video!

No idea how I was able to go from despising a character as much as cranky (thought he was weird, gross, and kinda mean) to literally loving the heck out of him. No other straw hat had this kind of crazy 180. He’s such a good character I love him so much now
