After many years of anticipation from fans, One Piece finally brought back Nico Robin’s iconic hairstyle, reminiscent of her heartfelt reunion with Saul. This story arc also carries one of Robin’s most symbolic moments, depicted beautifully in a vibrant color page.
Alongside this moment is a heartfelt tribute to Kazuki Yao, the voice actor for Franky, whose character was introduced in chapter 1134 of One Piece, featuring Robin in her Enies Lobby outfit.
The white dress symbolizes Robin’s character and reflects her distinctive style before the timeskip. This image of Robin evokes nostalgia for fans while highlighting her critical decision during the Enies Lobby arc, perfectly aligning with her emotional reunion with Saul.
One Piece brings back Robin’s symbolic outfit from Enies Lobby
With its long-standing tradition, One Piece continues to provide a vibrant canvas for character development through various arcs. The rare moments of nostalgia particularly resonate with fans, regardless of their level of affection for the series. Thus, seeing Robin in her original Enies Lobby outfit once again, especially with her pre-timeskip hairstyle, is indeed a delightful surprise.
It is worth noting that Robin’s new appearance is not entirely similar to her previous one. She wears a stylish leather jacket over her new outfit, replacing her previous black leather skirt with a more colorful design, reminiscent of her attire from the Enies Lobby arc. This new depiction adds another layer of detail to Robin, including a distinctive belt and various decorative elements on her leather skirt. Nevertheless, her white dress remains unchanged, maintaining a connection to her original look from the Enies Lobby arc.
This nostalgic callback to the Enies Lobby arc is particularly fitting as it marks the beginning of Robin’s deep character development regarding her traumatic past. This moment also signifies Robin’s poignant declaration, “I want to live.” The latest chapter of One Piece shows Robin reuniting with Saul and the wonderful people she meets while still celebrating the fact that she is alive.
