Portgas D.A. is just a warning. I'm not making this video to be a contrarian or the opposite of what's popular but he is my least favorite character in all of one piece. I wouldn't say like he's the most despicable character in all of fiction but when it comes to one piece he's definitely the worst one. I guess no question for me. Portgas D.A. is the son of Goldie Roger and the adopted brother of Monkey D. Luffy. He is a very prominent character in the series who for some reason only appeared in two major arcs and yet is still talked about to the Israeli. Then his death is the one that developed the main character the most out of anybody which is understandable because not only was that his brother but death and of itself is rare within the series. There are several reasons as to why Portgas D.A. is and I will be listing them in this video. Reason number one. If you think about it every single decision that he made across the whole entire series was really driven by something that a lot of people would deem as brave but if you really look at it deeper it was just pure stupidity. Now I get it where like several of the characters including Luffy himself like the ram and charge into things somehow still end up coming out on top but that doesn't always work and that's okay we all like some flood characters however that's stupidity along with the other traits that I will be listing. That combination alone makes us so that it's hard for me to even digest or want to accept that what he's doing is skewer bravery. Number two he is inconsiderate and his decision where simply made out of self-interest. Every time he makes a decision he makes them without thinking about how that would affect other people around him except for that one time the single time that this occurred was a Banaro island where Blackbeard wanted to go after Luffy which gave Ace even more of a reason to stop Blackbeard and actually probably getting involved in the whole Baroque words event at Alabaster. He probably didn't need to do that he probably wasn't gonna do that until he saw that Luffy needed some form of assistance but still he's still there to stay for them. If you think about it there's several times where this occurs across the city. Do they own pride and ego? He didn't care about the fact that his adopted father Edward Lugate, known as Whitebeard, had asked him not to go after Blackbeard. A fellow crewmate who had killed another crewmate, Ache, on the ship. Whitebeard was pleading with him the other Whitebeard pilots were pleading with him. Ace don't go after this guy we know he broke the one rule but do not go after him it's gonna give all of us a lot of trouble. Ace did not even care he did not consider yeah sure you could say it was made out of love for his other crewmate. Are you not considering what they're saying you're not thinking here you're gonna cause a lot of trouble you're gonna start to worry well he probably didn't know that at the time and that's not something that the other Whitebeard pilots are trying to go through but you're forcing them through it. Okay despite all of that he did not care he was not listening to them he was not having it he only thought about what he wanted and that was it he tries to murder Whitebeard what does he do? Nuget comes, grabs Ace. Yeah sure he was rough about it instead of retaliating on the child he takes Ace aboard the ship feeds him he shelters him he rests and he allows him to be a part of the family is one of his sons. What does Ace do in return? He doesn't care his Biden ego is too strong despite all of the kindness that Whitebeard has offered it still tries to kill just goes to show you how strong his Biden ego is earlier in his childhood he's over here crying and having an existential crisis about how the whole world hates him for being the son of Roger I thought the world that I know that you were the son of Roger and I thought that that was a top secret kept only by God I would random idiots and bandits and a bar know that you're the son of Roger to then bully you about it people left and right are offering you kindness instead of throwing you on the streets a legend in the ranks of the Marines takes you in and makes you a part of his family is one of his own grandsons but you don't see anything of that you have a brother that loves you more than anything in the world ever since he first met you he's trying to be friends with you he wants to be your friend he wants to be a part of your life but instead of recognizing that your ego is too big to the point where it doesn't allow you to see the kindness that people are offering to you and it just makes it so that you only salt in your own pathetic existence moving over to the next point he didn't care about the fact that Luffy is a little brother with the hell in back for him Luffy invaded Empalda and then he made max security prison full of atrocities but all sorts of demons such as awaken so in demon guards as well as the deadly warden Magellan and almost died from poisoning while starting a prison riot and entering a war zone for him in the process how could you like somebody like this how is this character fan favorite worthy why would anybody cry for him despite witnessing his little brother struggling through marine force the war of all wars fighting through hordes of soldiers clearly the weakest one countering warlords including mehawk as well as directly facing the three admirals he still is not able to show his gratitude to his little brother for rescuing him and decides to simply throw his life away due to a mere insult a mere insult as Luffy and Ace were finally running away a kainu thawkson he just thawed him as if down his cool yard Ace the ungrateful brother that never listens to his crew never listens to his little brother and never shows any gratitude decides while taking everything in the consideration after witnessing everything that he did despite seeing what everybody want to for him starting a war countless deaths all for him despite knowing all of that he takes it all into consideration and is like thanks but no thanks he throws it all away for nothing throws his life away and goes back to fight a kainu a fight he knew he and everybody knew he could never win that was his own fault that act was seen as noble and brave as if he was saving Luffy's life as if he was protecting him but really Luffy would never have needed protecting had Ace never thrown his life away and fought a kainu before shedding tears for a character like this think twice about whether they're worthy of such tears or not thank you for watching like and subscribe and enjoy the rest of your day
