TV Special
Description
Admiral Borsalino, widely recognized by his alias Kizaru, serves as a Marine Admiral. He enlisted in the Marines at age 26 alongside Sakazuki, training under Zephyr to become a formidable combatant renowned for his extraordinary abilities. His epithet "Kizaru" means "Yellow Monkey," denoting his position within the Marine hierarchy.
Kizaru possesses a notably tall, slim frame. His appearance features short curly black hair, a thin beard, and moderate wrinkles, marking him as the oldest among his former Admiral peers Aokiji and Akainu. He typically wears a yellow-striped suit with a Marine coat draped over his shoulders, gold-amber tinted sunglasses, a dark green shirt, and a mauve tie, often carrying a black Den Den Mushi on his left wrist.
His demeanor is consistently laid-back and easygoing, characterized by slow speech with sarcastic inflections and drawn-out syllables. Kizaru maintains remarkable calm in extreme situations, rarely displaying agitation or surprise, even when sustaining attacks. This relaxed attitude frequently manifests as absentmindedness, such as misusing communication devices or overlooking collateral damage during missions, though he consistently adheres to formal speech patterns and polite honorifics.
Kizaru practices "Unclear Justice," positioning him neutrally between Aokiji's "Lazy Justice" and Akainu's "Absolute Justice." He views himself as "a cog in a machine," executing orders without personal moral investment. Nevertheless, he demonstrates selective loyalty, valuing friendships with figures like Vegapunk and Sentomaru. When ordered to eliminate Vegapunk during the Egghead Incident, Kizaru expressed visible anguish; he later covertly aided Luffy by providing food, subtly defying the World Government.
His power stems from the Pika Pika no Mi, a Logia-type Devil Fruit granting control over light, enabling high-speed movement, intangibility, and projecting searing beams. Signature techniques include "Yata no Kagami" for light-based travel, "Ama no Murakumo" for forging light swords, and "Yasakani no Magatama" for firing destructive light particles. He masterfully combines Busoshoku and Kenbunshoku Haki with these abilities, showcasing exceptional swordsmanship during his duel with Silvers Rayleigh.
Kizaru participates in strategic Marine operations, as seen in the 3D2Y special where he attended a Marineford briefing led by Tsuru concerning the threat of escaped prisoner Byrnndi World. Across various arcs, he displays ruthless efficiency against pirates alongside unexpected empathy. During the Egghead Incident, he reluctantly fought Sentomaru—whom he considered family—motivated by a sense of honor and acknowledging his subordinate's resolve.
His background includes connections to North Blue and involvement in historic events, such as discussions with Garp and Sengoku on handling Gol D. Roger and Shiki. His complex relationship with authority culminates in the Egghead Arc; his actions following Vegapunk's death and the exposure of the World Government's secrets suggest potential disillusionment.
