Appearance
Summary
John Giant is a giant, and towers over regular soldiers. He is shown to have curly brown hair with a large bulbous chin. Unlike most giants who have a more heavy rounded stature, John is one of the few giants to look mostly human. Unlike other Marines, his traditional white robe is customized, with yellow accents, red borders, and a richly decorated collar. He also carries awarded medals on his left breast, signifying his important rank and status. He wears a traditional red bicorne hat with the Marine's symbol. Unlike other high-ranking Marines, he actually wears his marine coat with his arms in the sleeves. Underneath that, he wears an orange shirt, simple loose pants and boots. Overall, he appears to be a well decorated Marine. He also wields a katana that fits his size, slung over his shoulder. In Film Z, John Giant has grown a mustache.

Three hours before Ace's execution, John Giant rallied the 100,000 troops in Marineford for the upcoming battle. After Whitebeard began his attack and the pirates began their advance, Giant charged forth, entering into the plaza and attacking them. Due to his large size and strength, many of the pirates proved to be no match for him and could only flee from his rampage. He then directly attacked Whitebeard and tried cutting him down. Whitebeard effortlessly blocked his strike, easily overpowering the giant. He then tilted the island using his quake powers, making John Giant lose his balance and fall. Afterwards, he got back up to try and attack Whitebeard again, but the Emperor attacked him first this time, hitting him with a quake punch to the chest, severely wounding and defeating the Vice Admiral.

Trivia
Summary
He is the first giant to be revealed in the series, although his race was revealed much later than his first appearance. When he was mentioned in Big Mom's flashback, his name was misspelled in Japanese as "Jun Giant" (ジュン・ジャイアント, Jun Jaianto?); given that it was not a clearly obvious mistake, this spelling was used in the official English translation. It was later corrected in the volume release of the chapter.
