![]() ![]() Most of the healing methods that he uses are from the things he learned during his apprenticeship under both Dr. He is also capable of administering surgery and resuscitation. Medical Expertise: Being the doctor of the crew, Chopper possesses a vast knowledge of both medicine and medical drugs as well as the preparations of most remedies and ointments ranging from regular fruits, roots, and vegetables that can be found and used on most islands. Though it is rare for doctors to fulfill roles other than medical practices for the benefit of those around them, but as the Straw Hats' doctor, Chopper's responsibilities are not limited to just medicine alone. He also seems to have outgrown the habits mentioned above. He even has grown mature enough to smack his crewmates, mostly Zoro and Luffy, when they try to do something stupid or extreme. He no longer strives to be looked at as a human, now only wanting to "be a monster that can help Luffy" as he put it. He, together with Brook and Luffy, ends up being saved by the other members of the crew.Īfter the timeskip, Chopper seems to have grown more confident, much like Usopp. Another one is when he (and Brook) jumps into the water without hesitating to save Luffy from drowning, only to drown with him (since the Devil Fruit which he had eaten makes it impossible for him to swim). It is not until he figures out that is the doctor that he starts to tend to the injured person. One example is when there is someone who is injured, he often panics and screams "Call a doctor!!". He also tends to panic quickly, and subsequently let some crucial facts slip his mind. ![]() Unfortunately he is not hiding his body behind the wall, as a result his body is visible and only one half of his face is hidden. He was also enraged at Caesar Clown, for kidnapping and experimenting on children, and making them addicted to drugs.Īnother one of Chopper's habits is his reverse cartoon peek, where he stands behind a wall or a doorway and peeks at people, trying not to be seen by them. Hogback, when the man treated the patients' and Zombies' lives, and deaths, so callously. This was why he was greatly furious at his former hero, Dr. To this end, his childish nature vanishes whenever his medical skills are required he does not hesitate in the least in any actions regarding the well-being of his patients.Ĭhopper also has the strong belief that a doctor is supposed to help save people, and becomes angered when somebody treats life without the proper respect. His dream is to carry out his deceased adoptive father, Hiluluk's belief that there is no incurable disease, and to become a doctor that can cure any illness. He still has a feeling of distrust for humans from his youth, and will often outright insults and claims that compliments do not make him happy even though he is obviously happy about it (he starts to do the "Dirty Old Man" dance which was a bit by famous Japanese comedian Ken Shimura, which became a running gag).Ĭhopper seems to be very forgiving of those close to him, for when Usopp wanted to rejoin the crew at the end of the Enies Lobby Arc, he called out to Luffy and Zoro, although they were ignoring him completely. ![]() He is an upright friend and companion who will try anything to overcome a task given by his team. Because Chopper is more or less on a journey to define himself, he often sees the members of the crew as role models, which causes him to imitate their behavior sometimes, especially Usopp. Also, similar to Luffy, he is always easily impressed at things like beams, cannons and hidden abilities. Similar to Usopp and Nami, he is sometimes a coward, but his cowardice can be attributed to his childishness and low confidence in his own fighting abilities, which contrasts with both Nami's cowardice based on her self-survival and with Usopp's cowardice based on his insecurities. Besides being naïve, he is also extremely shy towards strange humans, especially before meeting the crew. Chopper often acts very childish because he is innocent and does not know any better. ![]()
