One Piece is full of exciting characters, big fights, and emotional stories. But if you are a fan, then you already know that not every character gets enough time to shine. "The reason is quite clear". The world is so huge and the cast is so big, that some amazing characters get left behind or pushed to the side. "Now here’s the thing". Even though the story is moving fast towards its final parts, there are still many names that fans want to see more. So in this post, let us talk about those some random One Piece characters who truly deserve more screen time.
Characters Fans Always Want to See More
Urouge
You may remember him as the smiling monk from the Worst Generation. His devil fruit lets him turn pain into power, which sounds very cool. But after Sabaody and a small tease during Big Mom’s arc, he almost disappeared. "That’s the point". Fans feel he got skipped in Wano and Egghead stories, even though others like Kid and Law got big focus.
Crocus
Crocus was the doctor at Twin Cape. He helped Laboon and also was once part of Gol D. Roger’s crew. That’s a huge thing. But after the Reverse Mountain arc, he has almost no role. "You already know this". Someone from Roger’s time surely has more secrets or things to share.
Curly Dadan
She raised Ace, Luffy, and Sabo. She was shown in the flashbacks, but after that, we hardly see her. "That’s what I’m saying". She is like a second mother to our hero, so many fans feel she deserved a little more story.
Aokiji (Kuzan)
Now this is big. Aokiji left the Marines and joined Blackbeard. That was shocking. But the story does not show much about what he is doing or planning. In the final saga, his role can become very important. "The thing is very clear here". A former admiral switching sides should not be hidden for so long.
Charlotte Smoothie
Out of Big Mom's Sweet Commanders, Smoothie was said to be very powerful. But in the Whole Cake Island arc, she didn’t do much. "You see". Even Perospero got more screen presence. Fans expected at least one proper fight or moment from her.
Zeff
Zeff trained Sanji. He taught him how to cook and how to survive. But after the Baratie arc and a small moment in Whole Cake, he vanished. "Many people miss this". If Sanji is now involved in big events, maybe Zeff should have a moment too, even just a short reunion.
Mihawk
The strongest swordsman in the world. Zoro’s dream is to beat him. But other than some scenes here and there, he’s still mostly in the background. Now that Cross Guild is rising, "what you need to understand is this" — Mihawk’s role can become very important.
What Fans Say in Online Discussions
If you check Reddit and other One Piece fan forums, you will see many fans are feeling the same. They want:
-
More about Law, Bege, Killer, and Drake who were big in Wano but didn’t get full stories.
-
Some want to see old faces like Magellan, Ivankov, and Inazuma again.
-
A few even say characters like Perospero and Vista were underused.
"I usually follow this trick" to see how fans feel — just search the names on Reddit and sort by hot or top. That gives a real idea of what people are waiting for.
Why These Characters Matter
Every character above adds something fresh. They are not just random side roles. They connect to main characters, or they carry big secrets, or they can help reveal more about the One Piece world. For example:
-
Mihawk is linked to Zoro’s final goal.
-
Aokiji might affect the Blackbeard vs World Government war.
-
Dadan shows the family side of Luffy.
-
Urouge still feels like a mystery with strong future potential.
"The reason is quite clear". Giving them more screen time can make the final story even more emotional and deep.
One Piece Has So Much Untapped Gold
Oda has created one of the richest anime and manga worlds ever. We already got many big arcs, from Dressrosa to Wano to Egghead. But fans know that even more excitement lies in the small characters, the side heroes, and the forgotten legends. "That’s how it works" in One Piece. Even a minor role can touch the heart.
If these characters get just a little more focus in the final saga, it will make fans very happy. "At the end", that is what we all want — a complete story where every piece of the puzzle fits.
Final Thoughts
You know what? One Piece does not ignore its characters forever. Sometimes Oda brings them back when we least expect. So maybe, some of these underrated characters will return in a shocking way.
"So finally", if you are also waiting to see more of Mihawk, Dadan, Crocus, or Smoothie, then you are not alone. The One Piece world is big enough for everyone. And the journey is not over yet.
