The new volume of One Piece 's manga brought an important update of Eiichiro Oda about the mysterious Gunko . So far, many fans believed she was not a heavenly dragon , mainly because, in her manga debut, the title "Saint" was not present.
However, this changed with the launch of Volume 112 , scheduled for July 4, 2025 in Japan. Eiichiro Oda corrected this detail and revealed the full name of the character: Saint Manmayer Gunko , belonging to a noble and cruel lineage of heavenly dragons.
Eiichiro Oda errors generated wrong theories
Previously, Gunko appeared only with his surname and without the typical formal treatment of heavenly dragons. Thus, many fans imagined that she had been kidnapped, or even sent as a spy by the revolution.
However, Oda revealed that he accidentally omitted the full title and name in the original publication of the chapter. Therefore, all these theories fell to the ground. Gunko has always been a heavenly dragon of the Manmayer family , the same involved in the brutal human hunting tournament in God Valley .
One Piece: Gunko may have appeared 38 years ago
Although his young face lift suspicions, there is evidence that Gunko participated in the God Valley event, 38 years ago, competing with Saint Garling Figarland to see who killed the most people. In addition, a quick memory of Brook , who has known her as a child for over 50 years, raises hypotheses about her possible eternal youth .
Like the five elders, the sacred knights have powers of immediate regeneration. However, only Gunko appears not to grow old. Therefore, it is possible that it received some kind of blessing directly from immoama , which used it as a receptacle to win Elbaf.
Gunko is now officially recognized as a cruel nobleman of the world elite. Although some questions remain, one thing is certain: the mystery has only increased.
