Movie
Description
Kizaru, also known as Borsalino, holds the rank of Marine Admiral within the World Government's military, signifying immense authority and operational command. He executes critical missions to maintain the World Government's interests, responding to severe threats as directed by leadership like the Five Elders or Fleet Admiral Akainu.
Physically, Kizaru is notably tall with a middle-aged appearance. He has short curly black hair, a thin beard, and visible wrinkles. He typically wears tinted sunglasses and a relaxed grin. On Egghead, his attire consisted of a black suit with yellow vertical stripes, an orange shirt, a brown tie, and the standard Marine coat draped over his shoulders.
His personality blends calm detachment with sporadic sarcasm or absentmindedness. He speaks slowly, drawing out syllables, and maintains formal speech patterns. Kizaru embodies "Unclear Justice," a neutral stance between his fellow admirals' extremes. He follows orders systematically but may disregard collateral damage. Despite his typically apathetic demeanor, he demonstrates empathy and loyalty, particularly toward friends or mentors like Sentomaru or Vegapunk. This manifests as visible distress when ordered to harm them, though he ultimately prioritizes completing objectives.
Kizaru wields the Pika Pika no Mi, a Logia-type Devil Fruit granting control over light. This enables light-speed movement, emission of destructive laser beams from his limbs, and temporary intangibility. His combat techniques include Yata no Kagami for precise light attacks, leveraging his speed for tactical repositioning or evasion. His fighting style blends overwhelming ranged assaults with opportunistic close-quarters engagement.
During the Elegia incident in One Piece Film: Red, Kizaru deployed alongside Admiral Fujitora to neutralize Uta, whose Sing-Sing Fruit powers endangered global populations. He led Marine forces besieging the island, coordinating efforts to nullify Uta's auditory-based abilities using hearing blockers. Uta countered by seizing control of civilians to overwhelm the Marines. Kizaru clashed with the Red-Haired Pirates; Shanks intercepted his assault and subdued him by placing a sword at his neck, compelling him to stand down. This highlighted Kizaru's adherence to calculated risk assessment, disengaging when confronted by overwhelming force.
Kizaru's history shows recurring tensions between duty and personal connections. He demonstrates genuine reluctance when ordered to eliminate former allies like Dr. Vegapunk or his mentor Zephyr, yet consistently fulfills such missions after initial hesitation. His actions during the Egghead conflict and Marineford War illustrate this pattern of compliance with authority amid moral ambiguity. Relationships with figures like Akainu reveal professional friction due to differing justice interpretations, while his dynamic with Sentomaru reflects unexpected respect for formal combat challenges.
His operational decisions carry significant repercussions, such as causing widespread destruction during the Saboady Archipelago incident with excessive force, or perpetuating instability through strict bounty enforcement against former pirates like Rayleigh. Recent behavior suggests covert dissent, seen when he discreetly aided adversaries like Luffy during the Egghead incident to minimize harm to comrades, indicating potential internal conflict beneath his detached facade.
