by

Summary

  • Fans reacted negatively to Loki’s pink hair & light purple cape in the final cover of One Piece volume 111.
  • Eiichiro Oda had trouble deciding on Loki’s colors, originally considering darker shades.
  • Despite fan feedback, the final cover is set for release on March 4, 2025, alongside a new English translation.

On February 17th, 2025, One Piece unveiled the concluding cover for volume 111, featuring the Straw Hat crew alongside Loki, the Cursed Prince of Elbaf. This choice of characters was fitting as volume 111 marks the beginning of the Elbaf storyline.

While many fans are enthusiastic about Loki’s appearance, others have voiced their disapproval on social media platforms. Some of these fans feel that Loki’s pink hair is incongruous and doesn’t align with Loki’s character. They prefer a more somber color palette, and some artists have depicted Loki with the same dark hair as Shanks.

Fans are not satisfied with Loki’s light purple cape, as they expected it to be black or gray instead. The sketching video shared by the One Piece X account reveals that even Oda struggled to decide on a specific color for both Loki’s hair and cape.

One Piece Volume 111 Has Its Flaws

At first, the creator of One Piece experimented with a deeper red hue for Loki’s hair and yellow for his cloak. Later, Eiichiro Oda considered using shades of green but finally decided to go with pink for the hair and purple for the cloak instead.

Since the final cover for One Piece Volume 111 has been set in stone, fans can’t make any changes to it now. However, their feedback is always valued and appreciated by Eiichiro Oda and his team, who will undoubtedly consider some of it when planning future covers. The much-anticipated release date for One Piece Volume 111 is March 4, 2025, in Japan.

Globally, on the very same day, the English version of Viz Media’s One Piece Volume 108 will become available. As many One Piece enthusiasts around the world converse in English, each new release generates much anticipation.

In the upcoming One Piece Volume 111, expect fresh details presented through SBS (Short Burning Ships), a feature where creator Eiichiro Oda has been shedding light on long-standing fan questions. Here’s hoping we get some enlightening answers again!
