Description
In the film One Piece Stampede, Kizaru, whose real name is Borsalino, is portrayed as a Marine Admiral. He is a tall, middle-aged man with a yellow striped suit and sunglasses, and his codename translates to Yellow Monkey. His real name is often used by those close to him, and he prefers to be called that, as shown when his subordinate Sentomaru contacts him and he replies This is Borsalino.
His background is that of a Marine who rose through the ranks to become one of the three Admirals, the highest combat authorities of the World Government. He has connections to key figures such as Vegapunk and Sentomaru, and he was once mentored by the former Admiral Zephyr, with whom he later clashed.
Personality wise, Kizaru combines a laid-back and easygoing demeanor with a ruthless and merciless approach to pirates. He frequently appears unconcerned and calm even in dangerous situations, and he often causes unnecessary collateral damage through his casual use of power. He can be absent-minded and seems to lack strong emotional investment in his missions. His sense of justice is described as Unclear Justice, meaning he generally follows orders without personal moral questioning.
His motivations are tied to his role as an Admiral: he executes the commands of the World Government efficiently and without hesitation, treating his duties as routine. He does not display a strong personal code of justice compared to other Marines.
In Stampede, Kizaru is part of the Marine force dispatched to the Pirate Expo on Delta Island. There he confronts the Straw Hat Pirates and other supernovas, serving as a formidable obstacle that demonstrates the immense power of the Marines. He engages in combat with his signature speed and light‑based attacks, maintaining his characteristic indifference throughout.
His key relationships include his subordinate Sentomaru, with whom he shares a familiar bond, and a former mentor‑student relationship with Zephyr. He collaborates with other Marine officers but does not form close personal ties with his fellow Admirals.
In terms of development, Kizaru does not undergo significant change within the film; he remains consistent with his portrayal in the broader series. His backstory and deeper character evolution are explored in other storylines outside of Stampede.
His notable abilities come from the Pika Pika no Mi, a Logia‑type Devil Fruit that allows him to become, control, and generate light. This grants him movement and attack speed equivalent to the speed of light. He can fire destructive laser beams from his fingertips or feet, create a sword of light called Ama no Murakumo, and use the technique Yata no Kagami to travel by reflecting along surfaces. His devastating area attack Yasakani no Magatama unleashes a barrage of light bullets. Additionally, he has demonstrated proficiency in both Armament and Observation Haki, enabling him to fight powerful opponents on equal footing. His combat style relies on blinding speed, powerful kicks, and precise swordplay.
Overall, in One Piece Stampede, Kizaru embodies an almost untouchable force, reflecting the traits established in his wider appearances.
