Obscure One Piece Character Is Officially More Popular Than Ever

by

The latest results from the worldwide popularity poll are in, and a surprising contender has quickly risen to the top. Despite the One Piece poll being known for unusual picks and fans actively trying to influence the outcome, one participant likely achieved a high ranking by chance.

Fan polls for One Piece usually see the Straw Hat Pirates at the top, though popular supporting characters like Trafalgar Law and Portgas D. Ace often give them a run for their money. Because the series has run for over 1000 chapters and features a huge cast of characters, there’s always a chance an unexpected character could surprisingly win the most votes.

Who Is Rockstar In One Piece?

It’s surprising to see Rockstar ranked so high at #36! That puts him ahead of many popular characters like Garp, Koby, the Going Merry, Bepo, and even Gol D. Roger. Considering the poll included a huge number of characters, making it into the top 40 is a significant achievement.

Rockstar first appeared in chapter 234 of One Piece, released in 2002. He was sent to deliver a message to Whitebeard, but hasn’t played a significant role since, appearing in only a few panels. What makes Rockstar interesting is that he’s one of the earliest Red Hair Pirates introduced who wasn’t part of the original crew shown at the beginning of the series.

Why Is Rockstar One Of The Most Popular One Piece Characters?

Honestly, I’ve been a little underwhelmed with Rockstar’s contributions to the One Piece discussions. His attempts at humor, especially with the memes he picks, just don’t always land, and it’s frustrating when there’s so much potential with characters like Gaimon! But you know what? It all makes sense now – it’s become clear why he’s done so well, and it all comes down to his focus on Rocks D. Xebec, who actually ranked pretty high in the polls at #12. That’s the key to understanding his approach!

Rocks D. Xebec was initially presented as a fearsome pirate from the past, with the story offering only hints about his history. Later in the series, One Piece revealed more about his background, making him a fan favorite – he even ranked higher in popularity polls than some of the main Straw Hat Pirates!

Rockstar likely ranked so highly because voters probably mistakenly selected him instead of “Rocks.” Their names are very similar, and when people typed “Rocks” into the voting site’s search bar, Rockstar’s name appeared first.

It’s amusing how a character known for being unremarkable has become popular recently – but only because people keep confusing him with another character. Don’t worry, Rockstar, you’re still everyone’s favorite minor crew member of the Red Hair Pirates!
