Why Is “Mad Monk” Urouge (108 Million Berries) So Worshipped in One Piece?

This article features Japanese fan reactions to this Water 7 scene, showing how Japanese viewers interpreted the moment between Zoro and Usopp.

Among all the rookies, he started out looking like the least threatening one.

NebulaForge
Ohhhh… fitting line for Urouge, honestly.

---

HarborSpiral
Say whatever you want — he usually just smiles and lets the chaos unfold.

---

CrimsonWarden
People forget he actually lost to Cracker. Dude isn’t invincible.

　↳ SilverTideAnchor
Cracker couldn’t finish the job either, which kind of makes him look even worse.

---

RustPeakVoyager
With powers like that, failing to finish the job really does make him look incompetent.

---

MetroValeShadow
Acting like he’s above everyone when he’s clearly below Zoro is hilarious.

---

AshenDrift
Pray for him…

Why exactly 8 million? Couldn’t they round it up and make it cleaner?

　↳ HarborMossWalker
It’s basically the “tax included” version, man.

---

StoneGateRebel
Urouge: “Second-in-command at 120 million. Says a lot about our captain’s generosity.”
Meanwhile, you’re the supposed No.1 with barely 108 million. Absolutely wild.

Pretty sure the Weekly Jump editor just messed up a digit when they wrote his bounty.

---

SableCoastRunner
Bounties are basically a measure of how much someone likes to flex anyway.

Urouge: “…Namusan!!!”
Kaido: “GRAAAAAHHHHH!!” dives from the sky island
Kaido: “You kids were just playing pretend pirates!”
Kid, the “Captain”: “n–ngh…” crushed instantly

EchoHarborDrift
Urouge: “You’ve thrown your life away, masked one.” → 108 million
Killer: “…” → 162 million
My guy acting superior with 108 million is wild.

CraglineSentinel
If anything, his bounty being that high just means the government sees him as a serious hazard.

---

Urouge keeps going back to Skypiea, so his bounty barely has a chance to rise.

---

IronGaleNomad
He’s literally the guy who forced a “god” out of his own homeland.

---

RustBreakerVoyage
Urouge × Kaido >>> Kid.
Not even a debate at this point.

---

RiverShadeComet
And he’s not even that popular in the official polls… tough crowd.

　↳ BluffCedarRunner
Same fate as Enel, which is honestly hilarious.

---

GravelPeakAnchor
Bounties don’t mean much anyway. Even Whitebeard had one of the highest ever and still went down in the end.

---

StormlineCrafter
Urouge took down one of the Sweet Commanders!

　↳ SilverHollowDraft
He beat Snack — the weakest one with a 600 million bounty. Let’s not rewrite history.

---

The government’s just underrating him. They’ll realize it sooner or later.

---

NimbusIronCrest
People forget Urouge has that karma-infused counter ability backing him up.

Luffy: 19
Zoro: 21
Kid: 23
Bonney: 24
Killer: 27
Apoo: 31
Hawkins: 31
Bege: 42
Urouge: 47
Man really decided to start full-on pirating at 47. No embarrassment at all?

　↳ SilverReefVoyager
Age doesn’t matter when you’re chasing something new. Jumping in is never too late.

The guy whose presence alone convinced a Yonko to swan dive off an island.
