As a long-time follower of One Piece and a connoisseur of character designs, I must say that this recent development has filled me with a sense of nostalgic delight. It’s as if the creators have reached into my memory and pulled out one of my most cherished moments from the series – Robin’s iconic Enies Lobby outfit.
The return of her old hairdo, which I had almost forgotten was a part of her pre-Time Skip look, is a testament to the depth of character development in One Piece. It’s like they’ve turned back the clock and reminded us all of Robin’s journey from a shy archaeologist to a fierce Straw Hat pirate.
The new illustration, while slightly modernized, manages to capture the essence of her old look perfectly. The white spotted shirt dress, the leather boots, and even the studded garter – it’s all there. I just hope they don’t forget the cowboy hat and boots in the future, or else I might have to remind them with a friendly reminder: “Robin without her cowboy hat is like One Piece without its humor!”
In the grand scheme of things, this might seem like a small detail. But for me, and many other fans who’ve grown up with One Piece, it’s these tiny callbacks that make the series feel even more special. After all, One Piece isn’t just a story about pirates; it’s a journey through our childhoods, and moments like this remind us of that.
After years of persistent requests from fans, One Piece has at last restored Nico Robin‘s original hairstyle just as she prepares for her much-anticipated reunion with Saul. Moreover, the series has also recreated one of her most recognizable styles, though it is only presented in a color spread.
In addition to serving as a quiet homage to Kazuki Yao, who just left his position as Franky’s voice actor, the two-page spread in Chapter 1134 of One Piece notably highlights Robin wearing her Enies Lobby attire. The classic white dress and leather boots, paired beautifully with her original pre-Time Skip hairstyle, brings a strong wave of nostalgia and perfectly echoes Robin’s significant decision during the Enies Lobby Arc at an opportune moment in light of Robin’s current reunion with Saul.
One Piece Brings Back Robin’s Iconic Enies Lobby Outfit
In the tradition of One Piece, each new arc typically introduces unique personalized costumes for the Straw Hats. However, older outfits seldom reappear, despite fan affection for them. Therefore, it’s quite delightful to see Robin in her Enies Lobby attire once more, and even more so with her original pre-time skip hairstyle.
While Robin is sporting a different style this time around, with an oversized, open leather jacket replacing her sleek leather zipper dress from the Enies Lobby Arc, she still maintains the same overall essence. The new illustration includes additional accessories such as a studded garter and adornments on her boots. However, the white spotted shirt dress remains unchanged.
In this brief reference to the Enies Lobby Arc, it’s quite fitting since it was here where Robin’s heart-wrenching past was disclosed for the first time. It was also during this arc when Robin made her memorable statement, “I want to live.” Poetically, the recent chapters of One Piece depict Robin encountering Saul, feeling grateful for the loyal companions she’s gained along the way and glad that she managed to live.
As a dedicated fan of One Piece who has been following the series for over two decades now, I can confidently say that the Elbaf Arc may not bring back Robin’s pre-time skip looks just yet, but the Final Saga holds immense potential to rectify this longstanding gap. The return of Robin’s old hairdo recently has certainly piqued my interest, and I believe it would be a tremendous oversight if the iconic cowboy hat and boots were not reintroduced as well. With the series nearing its conclusion, I am hopeful that One Piece will deliver on this expectation and ensure that Robin regains her pre-timeskip appearance, bringing a sense of completion to my personal journey as a fan.
