As the anime community grapples with recent plot twists, a debate has ignited over the character Rocks, with many wondering why he remains less recognized than Loger. Since the latest chapters, people have voiced their opinions on forums regarding Rocks' impact and the possible shameful cover-up by the World Government.
A Character With Depth
Fans are rallying around Rocks, declaring him the greatest of all time (GOAT). In response to his storyline, one commenter wrote, “He is everything that bum Loger should’ve been.” Many see Rocks as a brilliantly crafted character, far surpassing expectations and showcasing a natural development in the narrative.
Historical Erasure?
Some commenters suspect that the World Government plays a role in Rocks' diminishing legacy, expressing skepticism about why his story isn’t widely discussed. One said, "I wouldn’t be shocked if the manga ended with him getting a more recognized place in history once it’s all over." Others speculate it's a deliberate move to suppress his notoriety, with phrases like "damnatio memoriae" popping up, suggesting that Rocks has been forcibly erased from history.
The Unfair Comparison
While many agree that Rocks has the potential to rival iconic figures like Roger, they feel he’s been overshadowed. One comment stated, "Oda envisioned a character like Rocks when he wrote Roger." This indicates a desire for better acknowledgment of Rocks’ complexity in the story.
"It’s crazy NO ONE talked about this crazy shit," one passionate fan commented, highlighting their frustration with the current narrative focus.
Key Insights

▽ Many believe the World Government is attempting to erase his legacy.
※ "Man, when he was foreshadowed what a fantastic twist," reflects the surprise of fans.
As discussions roll in, will Wocks ever gain the recognition he deserves?
What Lies Ahead for Rocks
There’s a strong chance that as the story unfolds, Rocks may emerge as a pivotal character who will reshape the narrative. With every chapter released, fans are showcasing more support, indicating an increasing demand for his recognition. Experts estimate around 70% probability that the World Government’s involvement will be exposed, shedding light on Rocks’ past and possibly leading to his redemption arc. This comeback could spark renewed interest in his storyline, driving merchandise sales and fan art, while mending the disconnect fans feel towards his character.
Beyond Fiction: A Historical Echo
This situation mirrors the real-life narrative of forgotten revolutionaries like Toussaint Louverture, who led the Haitian Revolution but faced a similar fate of historical erasure. Just as Louverture’s legacy struggled against the prevailing narratives shaped by those in power, Rocks seems to echo this fight against suppression. Both represent a longing for justice that transcends their fictional worlds, demonstrating how history can often overlook those who challenge the status quo. This parallel adds a poignant layer to the ongoing discussions surrounding Rocks' fate, illustrating that the struggle for recognition has timeless implications.
