It was officially revealed that One Piece Film: Red will focus on Uta, the daughter of Shanks. If she is the main protagonist, who is the villain in One Piece Film: Red? There were a lot of speculations, especially after Charlotte Katakuri is hinted to have a role in the anime film.
Katakuri is known to be a major antagonist in the Cake Island arc of One Piece so knowing that he will be making a comeback could hint that he will be the main villain.
Will this be the case or will Katakuri have a different role? If so, then who should viewers watch out for?
Who is the Villain in One Piece Film: Red?
It appears that a different One Piece villain was introduced in One Piece Film: Red. Although Katakuri made a special appearance in the movie, it was Gordon who was introduced as the major antagonist of One Piece Film: Red.
What we know so far is that Gordon was the former king of Elegia. He was also the foster parent of Uta. He is a tall man with thin limbs and broad shoulders. He can easily be differentiated considering that he has a scar running across his forehead.
What was intriguing is that he was a kind-hearted individual considering that he didn’t have second thoughts about raising Uta, even if she was the reason his kingdom was ruined. Shanks entrusted the former king and took the blame for the kingdom’s destruction.
So what triggered him to be evil? The only way viewers can find out is by streaming One Piece Film: Red.
