One Piece Pairings: the loooong version.

[applejill]

I have only rarely seen an anime that has fandom going to pieces over all sorts of different pairings. Pairings all over the place! Got a character and another character? Pair 'em! After all, there is no reallllly well-established canon pair!

wow. that was long, but very informative.... i definitly agree w/ LxZ, LxN, and ZxR. Zoro and Robin are my favorite couple, at first it was Usopp and Kaya, and while they are cute (i noticed you left her out X3) its pretty far fetched.... (i still wish it could happen, honestly) But I can see Zoro and Robin getting together, too bad there's not much romance in One Piece... otherwise, Luffy and Nami would already be a couple X3

I also noticed you left out Sanji x Usopp.... I only know like two other people that like this pairing, but I think its really cute....i blame it on Bialy's website www.captain-usopp.net ... but I don't mind X3

oh, and i did find some people that pair up Usopp and Nami... not too wild about it, she always seems WAY out of character.... and yes, Zoro x Nami=porn XD I would know ..... >.>

anyway, great character analysis.

I guess I could see the Usopp/Nami pairing... they're friends, they sort of band together for protection against the unreasonableness of the rest of the crew's powers...

But Sanji/Usopp? I guess I don't see a canon basis. Sanji doesn't seem to hang out with Usopp much outside of the Party Gang dynamic. Care to explain how this pairing tends to work?

I'm not sure... when i stumbled upon that captain-usopp site, i found the doujins and the lil comic that bialy did.... at first i was like "wtf?" but the more i read, the more i liked. before i knew it, i found the pairing to be quite cute X3 it may never happen, but i still like it. they're funny together for one, and like i said... cute X3

but i still think zoro x sanji=canon XD

fantastic analysis! i love how you represented all camps in the fandom spectrum here.

"L, U, C, The Official Party Gang." sometimes Sanji also participates in the dancing and goofiness, but it's not ALL THE TIME like the others.

great job!

[applejill]

thank you! :)

yeah, Sanji is a camp-shifter. He sort of bridges the gap between the sillier and the more level-headed members, it's cool.

AW!Very accurate!!!
I definately agree with your analisis of all the pairings!
Especially for the Luffy/Nami♥♥♥

*grin*
What can I say?
I'm biased.

...what surprised me was how after writing this, Z/L and Z/S both started to make sense to me; I never bought it before. But yeah. All about the Luffy/Nami.

Hmm, very interresting... I'm a Sanji x Usopp shipper, and I think the basis of their relationship would be listening to one another. Yeah, it's mostly fangirls imagining things, but that's what I think. ^.^

I'm actually an UsoSan fan myself. XD This is a bit silly, but at least it offers some sort of explanation to the madness.
