Personality[]

Like all other Marines in Shells Town, Ukkari hated and feared Captain Morgan. Ukkari became very happy when Luffy defeated Morgan.[citation needed]

History[]

East Blue Saga[]

Romance Dawn Arc[]

He lightly scratched Morgan's statue as he was raising it up. Morgan decided to kill him for the scratch, but before Morgan was able to do so, Luffy showed up on the roof and accidentally destroyed the statue.[4]

When Morgan was defeated, Ukkari cheered alongside his fellow Marines.[citation needed]

Live-Action and Manga Differences[]

In the live-action series, Ukkari is shown as a more mature man. The scene raising the statue of Morgan is not included, and his role changes to a slightly more notable one, being a Marine at Ririka's bar with whom Nami flirts and then knocks him unconscious to rob him his uniform. Later, after Nami is discovered in the base by his partner Sada, Ukkari recognizes her and they both attack the intruder, but end up being defeated by her. Moments later, Ukkari and Sada are found badly injured by Morgan, whom they notify about Nami's infiltration.[5]

He is later crucified by Morgan in the base's courtyard, presumably as punishment. He witnesses Garp's arrival at the base, and is ultimately released from his bonds by the time Morgan is tied up.[6]

Translation and Dub Issues[]

His name is a katakana rendition of the Japanese term for "careless" (浮かり, Ukari?, lit. "floaty"). Viz Media's official One Piece translator Stephen Paul informally translated this as "Carelesso"[7], which was later adopted by Shueisha's official website for the 7th popularity poll.[8]

Trivia[]

  • The manga would later use a pure-hiragana rendition of "Ukkari" (うっかり?) as Gedatsu's catchphrase, referencing both his fighting style and his bizarre personality. This, in turn, led to the naming of Ukkari Hot-Spring Island.
  • Ukkari is currently the lowest-ranked canon Marine.
