One Piece has given the world plenty of memorable characters throughout the years, but none are quite as iconic as the super archeologist of the Straw Hat Pirates: Nico Robin. From her deceptively strong Hana Hana no Mi abilities to her random macabre comments from time to time, Robin excels in both strength and lovability, traits which have made her a fan favorite ever since her debut.
And just like with all lovable One Piece characters, Robin has been the subject of memes that are sure to leave fans laughing to the point of losing their voices. These ten memes illustrate the funny side of the archeologist's stone-faced personality.
10 My Heroes?
Arguably the biggest plotline that centers around the character thus far, the Enies Lobby arc of One Piece marked Robin's transformation from an emotionally-guarded outsider to a more open member of the Straw Hat Pirates. It also marked a turning point for the Straw Hat Pirates as a whole, as they realized they needed to get stronger if they were to save Robin.
However, this meme offers insight into what would happen if the Fake Straw Hat Pirates had come instead of the real ones. Needless to say, Robin would have faced a different fate if the authentic Straw Hats never came for her.
9 An Outfit For Every Occasion
Amidst all the craziness throughout the series, Robin always looks good. But before the two-year timeskip, Robin used to dress in rather dark colors. If her clothes aren't completely black, then she often wears other dark colors, such as blue or purple.
However, after the timeskip, Robin added brighter colors to her wardrobe. While she still wears the occasional black or purple, she has also included brighter colors in her clothing choice. This Facebook Day or Night mode meme perfectly sums this up.
8 The Struggles of Being Special
With the Wano Country arc being the most recent example, it is evident that Nico Robin is one of the most influential characters in the series. From her ability to read poneglyphs to her dream of learning about the Void Century, there are many nefarious people out there who would want to use her for their own benefit.
And as it happens, one of those people happens to be Rob Lucci, who was promoted from CP9 to CP0. As this Mean Girls meme suggests, Lucci's insistence on hunting Robin down isn't lost on her.
7 When You Think You Know Someone
Compared to the other Straw Hat Pirates, Robin is one of the more mature members. She serves as a motherly figure to the younger members, especially towards Chopper. However, even with her disposition, she still possesses some unique oddities of her own.
At the most inopportune times, Robin will make a comment that is either very gross or morbid in nature, much to the shock of those around her. This Mr. Incredible meme perfectly demonstrates how off-putting her comments can be for some people, especially for her fellow crewmate Usopp.
6 Don't Blow My Cover!
Although she is generally a very well-mannered person, Robin can be very ruthless and unforgiving in battle. As shown by many of her fights, she will not hesitate to snap the spines and necks of her enemies, even when they are actively begging for mercy.
But as shown by this meme, even the more ruthless side of Robin can be played for laughs. While the context of the actual screenshot is more serious in nature, this is proof that the creativity among fans is limitless.
5 Forever Ryunosuke
Although Robin has been noted for her dark thoughts, there are times when she finds herself gushing over the most unorthodox of things. She previously found Cerberus from Thriller Bark to be cute, much to her crewmates' shock. But Robin's most recent object of affection happens to be Kanjuro's sloppily-drawn dragon called Ryunosuke.
Ryunosuke was used to scale Zunesha's leg in order to reach the island of Zou. But once Robin's group reached Zou, Ryunosuke was subsequently erased from existence. As this Avengers meme clearly shows, Robin was particularly distraught by the loss.
4 How to Recruit Franky 101
Even though Robin opened up to her crewmates after the Enies Lobby arc, she still retained much of her ruthlessness afterward. A prime example of her post-Enies Lobby ruthlessness can be seen in one of the most disconcerting scenes in the One Piece series: the scene in which Robin convinces Franky to join the Straw Hats by using her powers to grab his private area.
This Star Wars meme more or less summarizes the ordeal between Robin and Franky. Before the Thriller Bark arc, this was the first comical portrayal of Robin's ruthless tendencies.
3 Cat Scratch Fever
As it turns out, Ryunosuke isn't the only instance of Robin showing her lighthearted side. After Bartholomew Kuma revealed that he had eaten the Nikyu Nikyu no Mi, Usopp wondered if there was a Devil Fruit with a calming ability. This prompted Robin to start thinking about three cute cats as a result.
But this demotivational poster does beg the question: is Robin a cat lady or a dog lady? Is she even a pet person at all? Given how she was infatuated with a Cerberus and a poorly-drawn dragon, the answer could go any which way.
2 And The Oscar Goes To...
Due to being on the run from the World Government for twenty years, disguising herself, or playing a different role in general, became par for the course for Robin. As this meme demonstrates, Robin definitely deserves an award for the sheer number of roles she has played throughout the years.
But even though she has found her home with the Straw Hats, Robin still finds herself in situations in which she must don disguises. But with the knowledge that she is not alone, there is no question as to where Robin's loyalties truly lie.
1 Read All About It!
Perhaps the memes that have been popularized the most during the Wano Country arc are the face faults of four of the Straw Hats when they learn that Luffy is in the country. While these face faults are to be expected from Usopp, Zoro, and Franky, Robin's face fault definitely shocked a lot of fans.
As this note-passing meme suggests, Robin learns about Luffy's arrival after his first defeat at the hands of Kaidou, much to her astonishment. Then again, Robin's captain is prone to crazy shenanigans, so his behavior shouldn't be that astonishing.
