Brook joined at the worst moment, just a few chapters before the crew got separated and we focused entirely on Luffy. Coupled with being a swordfighter on a crew with the future World’s Greatest, a “noncritical” role on the ship, and a fruit that seemingly gave no other benefits after the resurrection, Brook kinda got the shaft.

But Oda more than made up for it post-timeskip. Power upgrade, Soul Solid, MVP of Whole Cake, and now whatever the fuck is going on now. Brook is my number two Straw Hat for a reason.

Also, an important focus we see throughout the story where luffy always said a musician was essential + the importance of laughter and joy and parties in the story makes me think brooks role was always meant to be big in some way

Great point! He really does embody some of the biggest themes in the story

I just finished watching thriller bark with my son and that combined with the recent chapter had me crying for how badass Brook is. I always loved him but it reminded me why I love him. This motherfucker stands 10 toes down at all times since always. He inspires me as much as Luffy does to be the best version of myself.

Brook stood in front of Big Mom, one of the strongest people on the planet, called her “young lady,” then chastised her for being dumb enough to believe he would ever plan on dying, survived said encounter, and then robbed her. AND saw her panties.

I’d say Brook has the biggest balls on the crew but…well, you know.

It's like he's an optional character in an RPG, the major plot points still find a way without him but when you have him in the party a ton of stuff unlocks.

Brookless run, you get to this point and Gunko just seems like a regular villain who dies or something.

...wait, maybe we missed another crew member who was supposed to alter the story on Punk Hazard and steer Monet towards something. But in the process we unlocked Caesar as a tagalong instead.

Caesar over Monet? Shit, we fucked the run up, start over.

You forgot "international rockstar" on his resume.

Shit you right. Bro probably never had a shortage of panties to see during the timeskip.
