The One Piece anime is currently running the Egghead Incident arc, episode 1120, which introduces a mysterious character with a lot of influence. However, fans are all debating an unexpected change in the character’s design.
The One Piece anime has just finished the Reverie flashback and will move on to Garp vs. Aokiji in episode 1121. However, episode 1120 is causing confusion among the fandom as they witness the debut of Saint Figarland Garling.
He is the commander of the Holy Knights and is rumored to be Shanks’ father. Young Garling looks a lot like Shanks, so the theory is almost confirmed. However, Shanks is a redhead while Garling has slightly grayish-blond hair.
Fans are worried about whether there is a mistake in the design. However, Garling is quite old, so having this color scheme is not surprising. Additionally, we see a glimpse of young Garling in the God Valley flashback, which will likely answer fans’ questions.
“I didn’t expect him to be blond,” he wrote. a fan.
Another adds: “I was expecting red hair.”
“In most cases, red hair turns blonde with age, not gray. So the fact that he’s blonde doesn’t rule out a relationship with Shanks, it potentially suggests it more,” adds a third.
“His hair wasn’t drawn with colored stickers in the manga like Shanks. It was obvious that he didn’t have red hair at all, but it seems like a lot of people didn’t get it,” said one fourth intervenes.
While some fans accused Toei of misinterpreting Garling’s hair, a fan explains: “It’s funny how people say Toei messed up the colors when we literally never had Garling’s color palette until now. I always thought Garling didn’t have red hair since his hair wasn’t ombre like Shanks’.”
