7 facts about Zunisha, the elephant that confirms Joy Boy’s appearance when Luffy awakens his Devil Fruit

The Mink tribe lives on the back of a giant elephant named Zunisha. Interestingly, this elephant is roaming the ocean around the New World, an area that is still very mysterious in the One Piece world. It moves around by walking on the sea very slowly.

But what exactly is Zunisha? What is its role in the One Piece world? Some interesting facts about this elephant were revealed in One Piece Magazine vol. 4.

1. Zunisha’s Age

According to SBS vol 90, Zunisha was born on December 18 and is over 1000 years old. Given that age, it has become the oldest living creature in the One Piece world to date. The elephant may even have written about the Empty Century.

2. Zunisha the elephant has very long legs

Zunisha is the elephant Naitamie-Norida. At first glance, the term Naitamie-Norida makes no sense, right? But actually it should be read backwards as… Darino Emitaina (ダ リ ノ エ イ ナ) Meaning “like a Dali painting”. More precisely, it is the work of artist Salvador Dali.

In Salvador Dali’s painting of elephants, the image depicts elephants with very long legs. Does that mean that Zunisha’s legs are also very long?

3. Zunisha’s Height in One Piece

In One Piece Magazine vol. 4 revealed that the elephant’s height was about 20km. This means that what can be seen above the sea is just the surface and then it looks like a normal elephant.

This makes sense, of course, since this elephant walks across the ocean, meaning its feet tread on the seabed. The location of Ryuugu kingdom that was said to be under the sea was already 10 kilometers above the water surface. So for the elephant to look normal above sea level, its legs must be very long. And this was explained in One Piece Magazine vol. 4 when showing the shape of Zunisha’s leg bones.

4. Zou Island is on Zunisha’s back

Zou – home of the Minks tribe lies on the back of Zunisha. The area of ​​this kingdom is at least 10 square kilometers, which means that the dorsal surface area of ​​this giant elephant is at least 10 square kilometers. Accordingly, there is still no information about how big Zunisha’s other body sizes are.

5. Momonosuke can talk and give orders to Zunisha

According to Miyagi, the elephant doesn’t move around, it has a purpose. Unfortunately, it didn’t know where it was going. According to him, one day the Minks will have to get off the back of Zunisha and move their kingdom. This may be due to the age of the elephant being so old that the existence of the Minks on elephant back will be shortened over time. The elephant also has sharp eyes and can see far away objects.

Interestingly, Momonosuke can control Zunisha, commanding it to his will. That is, this elephant can become a very strong ally for Luffy’s alliance with Kinemon.

6. Inspired by mythology

Basically Zunisha was inspired by Salvador Dali’s painting. However, there are some details about this elephant formed on the basis of myths. The name Zunisha itself sounds like Ganesha, one of the gods in the form of half man, half elephant, a symbol of science. While the concept of the world on its back is like the concept of the world in Hindu mythology, where the world is supported by an elephant riding on the back of a tortoise.

7. Zunisha says Joy Boy is back in chapter 1043

In chapter 1043, Zunisha claims to have heard the drum of freedom that she has not heard for 800 years. It also said that Joy Boy is back.

This makes people think that Joy Boy “owns” Luffy, but that’s not the case. Luffy is still Luffy, it’s just that his Devil Fruit powers have been fully awakened.

Even so, Zunisha’s words could be a sign that Joy Boy’s strength is Hito Hito no Mi, model: Nika.
