Going online I read up on her and found that this “one Piece” series was an extremely popular show based on an equally popular manga ONE PIECE, the tale of a pirate named Monkey D. Luffy and his crew looking for the ultimate treasure, and the battles they have against the other factions of that universe!
Reading on, I found that Baby5 was actually a villain from the show, and her powers were that she could transform every part of her body into weapons- her arms (and sometimes even her legs) turn into swords, guns and knives, and she could even turn her whole body into things like cannons, sickles and even bombs! Huh!~ Who would have thought that from such a dainty girl!
Then I started actually watching the episodes of One Piece and got to see Baby5 in action- and I mean to tell you, this was one COOL chick!!! Talking with a husky, yankee drawl as she metamorphosized her body parts into the most devastating of weapons, I gt the same rush as I did when watching old Mazinger Z episodes in the past!
Cannons, Flamethrowers, and razor-sharp blades, , it was a joy to watch this gal at work! Unfortunately, Frankie Shogun was just too strong for her to defeat in this clip, but it did give baby5 a chance to show off a wide array of weapons she’s got LITERALLY up her sleeve!!!
After watching her in several episodes, I’d already fallen totally in love with this character….and then I started watched episode 607 which showed that this extremely powerful killer chick with a propensity for blasting machine guns and detonating herself onto her opponents had a SWEET and ADORABLE side as well!
Come to find out that baby5 was abandoned by her mother at a young age, being told “No One needs you. No one will ever need you.” This has led to her growing up with an all-consuming passion to be loved and wanted by those around her. From magazine subscriptions to 8(!) failed marriages, Baby5 will do anything to feel “needed”.
And then we come to one of her most hilarious and charming stories: Baby5 is in battle with the killer Sai, and as they fight, he tosses her the usual threats and insults, but the naive girl believes he is somehow confessing his LOVE for her!
When he says “I’ve gonna shoot you through your heart!”, she thinks he means “I’m aiming for your heart!”. When he grabs her hand when she’s trying to stab him and says “You can’t escape my grip!” she thinks he saying ‘I want to hold your hand forever!” And it soon becomes a running gag that EVERY thing he does seems to make her fall more in love with him!
But the best has to be when Sai scoffs and says “if you want to please me, kill yourself!” But he is horrified when she turns her arm into a gun and prepares to blow her brains out. “If it will make you happy, I am glad to do it!” she whispers. And in the end, even though they are mortal enemies, sai cannot stand aside and watching this dizzy girl kill herself. SO funny and touching!!!
After a couple of weeks of watching more Baby5 Goodness, I thought id’ go back and pick up that 5 inch figure I saw at the store. then it occurred to me, maybe I could get it online! Going on ebay I was pleasantly surprised to fnd not only the 5inch figure…but this BEAUTIFUL 7inch PVC figure of her! Holy Toledo was this one STUNNING- it was a direct capture of one of Baby5’s most famous images:
