Appearance
Summary
Roshio is a tall and muscular man with long white dreadlocks and a wide face. His left arm is also intricately tattooed with skulls and a red pattern. He wears an indigo a-shirt with black pants and a headband with his jolly roger (a hung man on a red background) on it in a repeating pattern.
Personality
Summary
Roshio is described as a crazy man by the citizens of Mock Town. He murdered a person on the spot when that person won against him in a game of cards. Ironically enough, Roshio himself got brutally attacked by Bellamy when he won against him in another game of cards. Roshio shouted angrily when he was accused of cheating. His Jolly Roger represented a silhouette hanging from a rope, which says a lot about his bloodthirsty and angry behavior.
Abilities And Powers
Summary
Roshio is prominent enough to be given a bounty of 42,000,000. However, he is defeated quite easily by Bellamy. Roshio appears to be remarkably resilient as he managed to recover from multiple severe injuries inflicted by Bellamy and Sarquiss. In the anime, Roshio carried a common revolver.
History
Past
At some point in his life, Roshio became a pirate captain and was issued a bounty of 42,000,000. While he was staying at Mock Town, Roshio was beaten in a card game by someone, which led him to murder the winner.
Sky Island Saga
Jaya Arc
Roshio played cards with Bellamy the Hyena. When Roshio won the hand, Bellamy accused him of cheating and stabbed his hand, trying to force him to admit to cheating. Roshio continued to deny the accusation, so Bellamy questioned his own crewmate Sarquiss on the matter. Sarquiss also claimed to have seen Roshio cheat, which greatly angered Roshio. Before he could do anything, however, Bellamy shot him a couple of times and smashed a bottle of alcohol on his head. Giving him no time to react, Sarquiss quickly threw a lit match at Roshio, causing the alcohol to light on fire and knocking him out of the top floor of the building they were in. Bellamy then leaped down and finished Roshio off with the Spring Hopper technique. Despite claims that he died from Bellamy's attack, Roshio had actually survived and eventually recovered.
Final Saga
Egghead Arc
Two years later, while in Mock Town, Roshio watched Vegapunk's worldwide broadcast. While most of the crowd mocked Vegapunk's claims, Roshio held a stern expression, likely because he took them seriously.
Anime And Manga Differences
Summary
The scene wherein Bellamy accuses Roshio of cheating is different in the anime: Originally in the manga, when Roshio attempts to take his winnings, Bellamy pins down Roshio's hand to the table with a knife. After asking Sarquiss if he saw Roshio cheating, Bellamy then shoots Roshio in the leg and hits him with a bottle filled with alcohol. With Roshio covered in alcohol, Sarquiss throws a lit match on him and sets him ablaze. The ignition throws Roshio out the window. In the anime, the scene is toned down due to its violent nature. When Roshio attempts to take his winnings, Bellamy grabs Roshio's arm and crushes it as Roshio denies that he cheated. Later after asking Sarquiss if he saw Roshio cheating, Bellamy shoots Roshio several times and kicks him out the window, presumably using his Devil Fruit ability. Afterwards, Roshio's crew was shown down in the streets trying to carry him away to get some much-needed medical attention, before Bellamy jumped down and finished him off.
Translation And Dub Issues
Summary
In the Funimation dubbed TV version of the anime, Roshio is simply kicked out the window, with the gunshots being edited out to tone down the violence even further.
Trivia
Summary
The databook One Piece Blue: Grand Data File reported Roshio as having died from his fight with Bellamy; however, he was later shown to be alive.
