Tony Tony Chopper/Misc.

==Early Concepts==
In One Piece Green: Secret Pieces, an early concept of the crew was revealed. Chopper was supposed to be more of a "realistic-looking reindeer".
==Anime and Manga Differences==
Chopper's adventure in Torino Kingdom is extended in the anime.
Chopper was wandering around the island right after falling from the giant birds' nest. A native snuck up on Chopper and knocked him out. Chopper woke up to see that he is tied up and about to become the natives' dinner, but managed to break free from his bonds when a couple of giant birds attacked the natives.
Some time later, Chopper met a baby bird with injured legs. Chopper tended to the bird's injuries. While the baby bird was recovering, Chopper made the bird promise that when she learns to fly, she would take Chopper back to the Sabaody Archipelago.
While wandering in the forest, the baby bird and Chopper are attacked by the natives. They are soon saved by the giant birds. The baby bird's mother then sent Chopper rolling down a hill and carried the baby bird back to its nest. Chopper reminded the baby bird about the promise and then thought about how long will it take for the bird to learn how to fly.
==Major Battles==
===Filler and Movie Battles===
==Merchandise==
As a main character, Chopper has been the choice character in many forms of merchandise. He has also become something of a mascot for One Piece, and Chopper merchandise such as cell phone straps and printed folders is immensely popular in Japan, to the point that he is probably on more merchandise than Luffy. Due to his size in comparison to other crew members, Chopper figurines are often released alongside another crew member (usually Usopp) in a joint figure. He also has many forms such as the One Piece Fishing Plushies pair or Chopper XMAS Plush pair.
He has been featured in the series of models Portrait of Pirates, alongside Usopp. He was issued alongside Hiriluk in a One Piece DeQue set featuring the Straw Hats and their past mentors/loved ones. He has featured in trading figure sets such as One Piece Motion Figure box alongside Buggy and the One Piece Styling Figures alongside Usopp. When the Wii game One Piece: Unlimited Adventure was released, Chopper was one of the crew produced as a figure in the One Piece Locations Trading Figures series.
He featured in the second wave of the One Piece VS Figure Gashapon series. Another Gashapon set he featured in was the One Piece Full Color R Gashapon, of what he was featured twice. He is part of the One Piece Sky Island Mascot Keychain collection. He also featured alongside Karoo in the One Piece Desert Kingdom Mascot Keychain/Cellphone Strap collection. He featured in the Monkey Island Keychain series alongside Usopp, however in the cellphone strap version he featured alongside Masira.

==Translations and Dub Issues==
The name "Tony Tony Chopper" is partly a play on "Tonakai" ("Reindeer"), and partly on the idea that his horns look like they could chop down trees.
In the 4Kids English dub, his attack names are changed, and his forms are named "Boosts" instead of "Points." This carried over to the VIZ manga and edited Funimation dub, though they retain their names in later chapters of the VIZ manga and the uncut dub. He speaks in a deep, gruff voice when in Heavy Boost, Arm Boost, Jumping Boost or Horn Boost, while his voice in his original, Brain Boost, and Guard Boost forms did not change (though they were slightly deeper than usual). Another change in the 4Kids dub is when someone compliments him, he does not insult the person and instead just says that he wants to dance.
In the VIZ manga and 4Kids dub, Nefertari Vivi merely calls him "Chopper" rather than his nickname, "Tony-kun." She calls him "Tony" in the Funimation dub.
==Trivia==
*Chopper has his own jolly roger, as the other members of the crew do, which is a regular Jolly Roger surrounded by sakura that also look like deer hooves. It was the one used by his adoptive father Hiriluk and eventually the Sakura Kingdom as well, which makes him the only Straw Hat whose personal jolly roger was first used by someone else. This one is commonly used in merchandise purposes such as key chains.
**Chopper has a second post-timeskip jolly roger. The skull in this version resembles his hybrid form's head, wearing his modified hat, but without the antlers. The jolly roger has normal crossbones, with sakura petals flowing across the flag similar to Hiriluk's.
*Chopper hides a drawn picture of Dr. Hiriluk's pirate flag under his hat.
*Chopper is the youngest member of the Straw Hat Pirates, with the age of 15 upon joining.
**Ironically, 15 is the average lifespan of real reindeers in the wild, which would make Chopper, currently 17, relatively old by his species' standards.
*Chopper is the first character, overall, to join the Straw Hat Pirates since they entered the Grand Line. However, he is not the first they met, as Nico Robin was introduced in the Whisky Peak Arc.
*Although Oda resisted the idea of a mascot character, he relented after seeing Noboru Koizumi's art and animation of Chopper, as well as hearing Ikue Otani's voice acting of the character.
*Chopper is very similar to, and possibly based off of, the legendary Christmas figure, .
**Both are reindeer who born with unusually colored noses, and were treated as outcasts by all the other reindeer because of said noses.
***The biggest difference between them is while Rudolph was eventually accepted by his kind for saving Christmas, Chopper was completely rejected by his herd after consuming the Hito Hito no Mi.
**Chopper's birthday is on .
**A song entitled "Chopper the Blue-Nosed Reindeer" has also been produced for the character and was sung by the Japanese voice acting cast at Jump Festa 2007, and once again during the 2008 Festa.
**In the beginning of the Drum Island Arc, when a character was describing how Dr. Kureha would come down from the top of the mountain, a silhouette of Chopper in his original reindeer form was pulling her down on a sled in the sky, greatly resembling that of .
**His first mentor, Dr. Hiriluk would sometimes enter people's houses through the chimney, another quirk similar to Santa.
*It is possible that the leader of the herd that Chopper was born from was in fact Chopper's father.
*In real life, a reindeer sheds its antlers at the end of each year and regrows them by next year, so Chopper's left antler should realistically have regrown by the time he met the Straw Hats.
*Throughout the series, Chopper has often questioned or has been questioned as to what he is (man, reindeer, tanuki, gorilla, etc). In Chapter 595, Chopper finally starts accepting he is possibly a "monster".

*Oda said that the message he wanted to illustrate in regard to Chopper's family situation is that a person who is not blood-related to another person can still be considered as a member of one's family.
*Chopper's Monster Point form strongly resembles the , a man-eating monster from Algonquin folklore. Depending on the portrayal, they are towering creatures covered in hair with a large mouth and antlers, that always appear gaunt and emaciated no matter how much they gorge themselves. They are strongly associated with winter and coldness, and even their heart is made of ice in some cases.
*A running gag in the series is that, when in a cold climate, someone in the crew always asks Chopper to take his fur off to be used as a coat. Chopper always falls for it before he exclaims that his fur cannot be removed.
**Another common running gag is Chopper being considered the "emergency food supply" of the crew, much to his panicking.
*Chopper is the first non-human Devil Fruit eater shown.
*In One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3, Chopper is immune to being petrified by Boa Hancock's Mero Mero no Mi powers, which is a reference to his lack of interest or attraction to human females. Chopper himself will even remark on the Mero Mero no Mi having no effect on him if he defeats Hancock in battle.
*When the characters are celebrating a party, Chopper is always doing Yasugi Bushi, a traditional Japanese folk song and dance while putting two sticks in his nostrils and his mouth.
*The X in Chopper's hat is supposed to be a medical cross, but tilted to the side.
*Chopper is the only member of the Straw Hat Pirates with bounties below 1,000,000.
**Chopper also has the lowest and smallest known bounty increases in the world.

*A fan noticed in the panel where Chopper meets Holy that Chopper's antlers were connected to his hat rather than his head. Wondering how this is possible, the fan sent a letter to Oda asking about it.

It is simply Chopper expressing shock similar to how other characters express shock with their eyes popping out. Chopper would later react this way again during the fight against Monet.
