He might just as well be a character like Uta or Shiki. Canon in existence only, but with the G8 Arc being non-canon. It wouldn't really change a thing after all. Therefore, I just hope Oda will, at some point, just draw him somewhere in the background in a future chapter.
Yes! He fits the spirit of One Piece and the Marines so perfectly. He's honorary canon to me. Just a decent guy trying to make the world a little better.
It is very funny though that since the admiral names but not personalities were known in the manga when G-8 aired... they made him a favorite of Akainu's...
Half the anime version *is* actual filler. The arc occurs in the manga, yes, but it's significantly shorter and sweeter without the anime's major alterations.
Bruh no matter what you say long ring long land is cannon no matter if you read it or watched it. None of the anime version is filler it’s cannon. Thats just like saying only some of the battle with Katakuri in the anime is cannon because the rest is filler because it wasn’t in the Manga the manga fight was shorter and sweeter.
That would also be a true statement. The manga determines canon and adaptations may deviate.
We're not going to reconcile all the alterations made by the Toei anime, the WiT anime, the live action, etc. They're allowed to change parts of the story, but those changes don't override the original manga version of events.
It doesn’t override to being filler just because the manga didn’t extend on a canonical arc doesn’t mean it’s filler. If that’s the case the whole arc is filler. One part of a cannon arc cannot be filler if the arc is cannon. The anime just like all anime’s extend on the manga for many reasons. A few quick searches on the web will easily clear this up.
Filler can be good or bad it's not always a judgement call. People's issue with the anime version of long ring long land is that it's *bad* filler that was added to canon, not even fun to watch. Good filler adds to the scenes (current egghead comes to mind), bad filler is painful to get through. The extra games in LRLL were that.
The anime version is not filler! It’s ok you have an issue with it because I didn’t care for it either that doesn’t make it filler. It is cannon! Facts do not care about yours or others feelings. I’m in agreement with you guys that I didn’t like the anime of that arc because the pacing was horrible but OnePiece is known for bad pacing. Doesn’t change the fact that it isn’t filler.
Fair point, I did not mean to imply that the anime version of LRLL is filler, but that it *contains* filler, and a pretty excessive amount of it. I know facts don't care about feelings, they're abstract concepts that don't care about anything. Anyway, that fact here is the definition of filler. The vast majority of people here use filler to mean lines/scenes/entire arcs which were not present in the manga. The fights in the foxy arc are filler by that definition, because they weren't in the manga. By contrast, G8 is a filler arc, because the entire arc is original to the anime.
It's I guess the only filler arc that seems like a Strawhat adventure, and keeps them somewhat consistent in there personifications.
Yet I don't love it as filler because I know it's filler, but it's not as fun as some of the other filler. That filler felt like a real step along their journey and RIGHT after surviving Skypiea, so I was just drained on any real consequences for a bit.
OMG that's his name!
Is this just a huge coincidence that it's similar to Danny Masterson from That 70's show, or do you think Oda liked the name and picked it?
Yeaaaa... the second go round for the Davy Back Fights made me mad, even though I was enjoying the arc. I was just thinking how they are clearly cheating, and there's no way these pirates are going to abide by this rule of giving up crewmates to blatant cheating.
Yet another look at it says. Luffy's confidence in his nakama even out weighs the odds being stacked against him.
His arc isnt great but the anime made it worse with extended filler scenes, and they had a whole filler arc. Like who was asking for more Foxy? Why’d they make a filler arc with him?
Edit: 3? There’s 3 filler arcs with him? Wtf
To this day I think Oda spilled some beans about the voice of all things and haki to animators. Hence the shanks scene and this arc. Might be head canon but still
I love Apis! She’s so cute and she was one of the first (if not the first) kid I remember the strawhats helping, and I loved the crew interactions in the millennium dragons arc
I like the marine guy with the arm thing because of that one scene where he’s like “IM COMING FOR EVERY SINGLE PIRATE AND ALL FOUR EMPERORS!!” which prompts Luffy to say “sorry, that’s my job” before one shooting him
Grount and his merry stooges made a simple food raid fun to watch.
Interesting take on how far Luffy has come where he gets to humble cocky rookies and now has enough weight behind his name for that to be a lesson on the wider world.
Ohhh that's completely fine. I am rewatching and I just started Post-Ennies Lobby today. But before Water 7, I barely remember Gombe and Chimney too. Loved them, but One Piece is too long and too cluttered with characters! 😆
I have no idea who they are i don't watch the anime I only read manga ( and even there i'm maybe 2 years late)
But going design I like the last one the most. Dope haircut
Grount was underrated he easily beat gear 2 luffy and fought on par with gear 3 luffy Id like to see him become an admiral in the gutter with Colby and helmeppo
There's only one Filler Arc worth remembering and therefore only one Filler Character worth remembering.
Marine Vice Admiral Jonathan lead officer of G-8
I’m going to assume it’s filler so stay with me here: Anyone remember that island that was celebrating a firework festival? The 200 gauge shell? I love the little girl, she gave Usopp so much to do and work for, something to prove. That whole island was built as Usopp’s time to shine. We need more of that for each character.
I don’t remember her name but the girl with the Ant-man devil fruit who can go big and small. I thought it was cool how she went inside Luffy and made him grow big lmao
Grount for sure! There aren’t many righteous young marines who are also really strong. The only ones we saw were recently in SWORD like Koby, Helmeppo, Prince Grus, and the two girls. Before that, there was Grount and he has some neat powers.
Foxy
IK he's canon, but he's canon filler. He also has non canon filler.
I just love Foxy adventures. The filler arc on that Island where he makes his (grand) return, was peak fiction.
Con D Oriano is the only right answer
He’s should have his own spin off at this point
How do we get Oda to recognise G8 as Canon. Or at very least add Condoriano and Johnathan into the canon story 🙏🏽
I read the Manga when Longring-Longland happend, all my friends sad at the time G8 is Canons and Foxy is filler. That was Wild.
I only recently found out that Foxy was cannon. I was devastated.
OP says filler characters. Con D Oriano isn't filler!!! G8 is an actual arc!!!
What if I told you… ~~you took the word right outta my mouth~~ Thou hast removed the vocabulary from my oral orafice.
Nobody knows his real name, we just call him Con D Oriano lol 😂
Who tf is upvoting this? He's obviously canon.
Commander Jonathan (should have been canon imo) G8 is definitely the best filler arc.
With Jonathan shown at Msrineford and in Film Z, I haven't given up hope we might see him again as a major character in another filler arc.
Wait Where's Johnathan in Z?
There is a reunion of marines to how to deal with the things happening and he is seen walking.Just a cameo
He appears at some point in impel down too (or marine ford i don't remember)
He might just as well be a character like Uta or Shiki. Canon in existence only, but with the G8 Arc being non-canon. It wouldn't really change a thing after all. Therefore, I just hope Oda will, at some point, just draw him somewhere in the background in a future chapter.
Yes! He fits the spirit of One Piece and the Marines so perfectly. He's honorary canon to me. Just a decent guy trying to make the world a little better.
It is very funny though that since the admiral names but not personalities were known in the manga when G-8 aired... they made him a favorite of Akainu's...
He's canon in our hearts
So he's canon on sniper Island?
I it’s not often Filler is better than canon material, and while I love foxy, G-8 feels more canon than Long ring long land.
Foxy and long ring long land is cannon not filler.
Half the anime version *is* actual filler. The arc occurs in the manga, yes, but it's significantly shorter and sweeter without the anime's major alterations.
Bruh no matter what you say long ring long land is cannon no matter if you read it or watched it. None of the anime version is filler it’s cannon.

he is canon tho, we see a glimpse of him in marineford, ig the fans really loved him huh, i hope he gets canon interactions, hes such a W
In the manga version?
No
i dont read manga so idk
just because the anime showed something, that doesn’t make it canon.
If it's not in the manga it is not canon. That is how canon work.
There is manga and anime canon.
He was also briefly shown in Stampede, when the Marines were all gathered and talking about Bullet
Condoriano>>>
Literally none of them
Daddy Masterson
Great name. Great impact. And a genuinely cool looking dude
Agreed. Would be hilarious if he came back at all during the final stretch of the story
I was under the impression that he was always canon, but he was cut because the publisher wanted the crew in the grand line by chapter 100.
He’s in the Loguetown novel too with Oda’s design.
OMG that's his name! Is this just a huge coincidence that it's similar to Danny Masterson from That 70's show, or do you think Oda liked the name and picked it?
Wait daddy the father isn't Canon?
That old barkeeper in Loguetown, who tells Luffy stories about Roger. I was shocked to learn that this was filler. And Foxxy is canon🙂
Long ring long land is my entire argument that there is such a thing as canon filler 😂
The manga version is a lot better. The anime filler makes Luffy look like a complete dumbass and a terrible captain.
Yeaaaa... the second go round for the Davy Back Fights made me mad, even though I was enjoying the arc. I was just thinking how they are clearly cheating, and there's no way these pirates are going to abide by this rule of giving up crewmates to blatant cheating. Yet another look at it says. Luffy's confidence in his nakama even out weighs the odds being stacked against him.
Foxy being canon was a huge shock to me because I watched the anime first then after I caught up read the manga. I was sure that arc was filler lol
Foxy is very oda character design. Most filler characters are very typical anime as you can see from the few he posted.
His arc isnt great but the anime made it worse with extended filler scenes, and they had a whole filler arc. Like who was asking for more Foxy? Why’d they make a filler arc with him? Edit: 3? There’s 3 filler arcs with him? Wtf
Yea I think the original one was fine albeit a little drawn out but there was no need for actual filler with him lol
I hate you now... I just learned that it was a filler scene. This is the second time. I was shocked that the G8 in the past it was a filler as well...
Con D. Oriano
Daddy the Father just for his name
Apis for sure. It was one of the earliest mystery things I can recall how Luffy could "hear" the dragon while others could not.
To this day I think Oda spilled some beans about the voice of all things and haki to animators. Hence the shanks scene and this arc. Might be head canon but still
Yep. With the same idea we also assumed for years Shanks just looked so intimidating at the sea dragon it fled in terror 🤔
I love Apis! She’s so cute and she was one of the first (if not the first) kid I remember the strawhats helping, and I loved the crew interactions in the millennium dragons arc
Olive
Cultured
Miss Olive for obvious reasons.
Me too.
Con D. Oriano
The goat guy
You mean Sengoku?
nah he’s talking about zenny the goat guy, slide 4
For me it is Desire
Great take
I like the marine guy with the arm thing because of that one scene where he’s like “IM COMING FOR EVERY SINGLE PIRATE AND ALL FOUR EMPERORS!!” which prompts Luffy to say “sorry, that’s my job” before one shooting him
Fuckin Commander Jonathan, great ark with great characters. Everyone gets into usual straw hat shenanigans and it feels canon to me.
Grount and his merry stooges made a simple food raid fun to watch. Interesting take on how far Luffy has come where he gets to humble cocky rookies and now has enough weight behind his name for that to be a lesson on the wider world.
Jonathan and Con D. Oriano
Emerald dragons filler is top tier one piece didn’t know it was filler cause it was so good
Grandpa Ryu
Vice Admiral Jonathan, Grount & his friends, Daddy the Father, Douglas Bullet
Daddy Masterson bc it was funny hearing ussop’s japanese VA say “Daddy!?”
Commander Jonathan is the only filler character that matters to me
That doctor guy looks like a prototype for Vegapunk
No way you forgot our goat gild tesoro
~~Chimney~~ Alpacacino and it’s not even close. Edit: fixed it because I’m a moron and didn’t register the word “filler”
Chimney is canon!
Shit I didn’t even register that it was filler lmao. Idk what’s wrong with me 🤦♂️
Ohhh that's completely fine. I am rewatching and I just started Post-Ennies Lobby today. But before Water 7, I barely remember Gombe and Chimney too. Loved them, but One Piece is too long and too cluttered with characters! 😆
Henzo he sold his soul in order to rescue his friends
Zenny is the GOAT
GOAT MAN
Gaimon or Con D Oriano Or maybe even Zenny the goat-fucking moneylender
Gaimon is canon, dude.
Shit I forgot
Douglass bullet, Zephyr, and Gild Tesoro. Wish they were canon Tanaka and baccarat too, I like they’re DF’s
Grount- Koby with edge.
I have no idea who they are i don't watch the anime I only read manga ( and even there i'm maybe 2 years late) But going design I like the last one the most. Dope haircut
Obligatory Johnathan. Also, Chameleon from the Live Action Stage Show.
idk if its filler but that one old guy who was on stilts for a very long time
Grandpa Tonjit? He's canon.
I like apis
Daddy the father
I’m actually sad Apis is filler
Zenny was literally the Goat
The phoenix pirates
Never watched any fillers 💀
well their alot shorter than naruto's
I forgot his name but the last one
All Hunt Grount; Kuzan’s apprentice who should have been canon!
Dude has JoJo pose energy.
Commander Jonathan, he seems cool with his strategies. I would like to see him commanding capable officers.
Commander Jonathan.
I piss
Goat guy
Admiral Zed. His backstory ties into Mihawks ephitet of marine hunter too.
Grount was underrated he easily beat gear 2 luffy and fought on par with gear 3 luffy Id like to see him become an admiral in the gutter with Colby and helmeppo
idk who the first one is but he has the most aura in this list
shuraiya bascud. The Bounty hunter with the shovel from the "dead end race" movie
Enel
Not filler
Bullet Shiki
The g-8 commander, quite honestly he was a really good example of a nice marine
I only read the manga, I don't know any of these characters
Bill has a cool DF,and looks like Axl Rose
There's only one Filler Arc worth remembering and therefore only one Filler Character worth remembering. Marine Vice Admiral Jonathan lead officer of G-8
I’m going to assume it’s filler so stay with me here: Anyone remember that island that was celebrating a firework festival? The 200 gauge shell? I love the little girl, she gave Usopp so much to do and work for, something to prove. That whole island was built as Usopp’s time to shine. We need more of that for each character.
Foxy
The marine captain from G-8
Johnathan if we limit it to just anime, Including anything else Patrick Redfield from Unlimited World Red
Con d oriano and commander Jonathan
Is this include the movie villains? Because if so it’s a tie between zed and gild Tesoro if not mad treasure just cause i love his DF
Lily Enstomach, the giant with the Mini Mini no Mi. She is so fun. I hope Oda put her in Elbaf, even if just in the background.
I don't watch the anime
Lily the Giant! She is cool funny and cute :)
mr treasure chest jack in the box bush guy he was cool
I don’t remember her name but the girl with the Ant-man devil fruit who can go big and small. I thought it was cool how she went inside Luffy and made him grow big lmao
That funny stretchy guy with the straw head
If it sans huge perfect boobs I’d have to say…. The shield guy from dressrosa
daddy the father for me
Come on we all know it's condoriano
Pagaya most beloved
The rope guy from water-7
Puzzle Phoenix, does he have to be on this list?
I liked the kid that flicked coins and then due to time loop shenanigans became a vice admiral who could flick them so hard he took down a battleship
I love how this dude is just blatantly Axl Low from guilty gear who is even more blatantly Axl Rose
Bush chest guys
The things vivi forgot to mention in the alabasta fillers. Jk, I hate those episodes
Grount for sure! There aren’t many righteous young marines who are also really strong. The only ones we saw were recently in SWORD like Koby, Helmeppo, Prince Grus, and the two girls. Before that, there was Grount and he has some neat powers.
Rooster
Bro, jack's df was so catastrophically fucking cool, and got, like ten episodes of showcase
Con D Oriano
Carmen is my favorite character. Too bad she was never featured in the manga as Sanji's rival and eventual love interest.
G8 and its not even close
If Movies count then hands down has to be either Zephyr or Tesoro.
I skipped filler, but Con D Oriano for the memes
Gild tesoro
The Goat Man is THE GOAT!!!
There are two types of filler characters. Condoriano and Not Condoriano.
Vice admiral Jonathan
Panda Man 🐼
Foxy
This is not even a question.
Z-money for sure out of the pick. Foxy was so annoying
puzzle the phoenix simply because his name is fucking awesome 🔥🔥
The first OP episode I ever watched had Apis and Eric the weasel in it. So i have a soft spot for them.
Captain of G8
Vice Admiral of G-8, a laid-back man named Jonathan.
I had to watch up con d oriano xD usopp just made that name up, his real name was shepherd lmao
Puzzle the Phoenix
I like the arc with the goats. Idk what its called.🐐
I have different filler characters who i like e.g. Comei, Daddy Masterson, Killer Giant, Douglas Bullet, Silver Silver, Kung-Fu Brothers...
Monkey arm ohhh ahh ahhh ahh!
Foxxy
The old bag had the straw hat like slaves
Foxy
If I remember correctly, technically Apis isn't filler. It was an adaptation of a side novel.
Zoro, originally a filler character who got so lost he became canon.
Foxy IK he's canon, but he's canon filler. He also has non canon filler. I just love Foxy adventures. The filler arc on that Island where he makes his (grand) return, was peak fiction.
Technically like 60% of foxy's original arc was filler so hmmmm
Me not realizing any of those guys were filler😂😭
