Background / History

Kizaru initially served the Navy as an Admiral candidate and was assessed as a Tier 3 Intermediate combatant. During the attempt to arrest Arlong, he became the target of Minato Namikaze’s hidden mission, which offered rewards for either killing him or persuading him to leave the Navy. 2

Minato’s surprise attacks revealed the difficulty of fighting Kizaru’s Logia body, light-speed movement, and Haki. Although Minato injured him with Sage Art Rasengan and escaped with Arlong’s corpse, Kizaru survived the encounter and personally concluded that Minato possessed space-time movement. 3 4

By the time of his later service as an Admiral, Kizaru had become a Reincarnator and regularly participated in Main God Space missions. He initially treated this status with his usual detachment, but repeated battles and the growth of Garp and Aokiji pushed him to pursue the power of light more seriously. 117 211 217

During the conflict against the World Government, Kizaru ultimately joined Garp and Aokiji in supporting a new order without Celestial Dragons or nobles. He later served as a New Navy Admiral during the Moonfall Crisis. 289 308

Appearance

Kizaru is a tall Marine officer, later described alongside Garp and Aokiji as being around three meters tall. He usually presents himself in a gray-striped suit, black hat, naval cloak, and tinted sunglasses. 2 211

  • Gray-striped suit and Navy “Justice” cloak during his early appearances. 2
  • Habitually wears tinted sunglasses, including during combat and transformations. 4 148
  • Maintains a relaxed, unhurried posture even in dangerous situations. 58 235
  • Appeared clean-shaven and unusually solemn for his worldwide Moonfall broadcast. 308

Personality

Kizaru is habitually laid-back, evasive, and openly dislikes trouble. He often frames urgent assignments as inconvenient overtime, attempts to avoid unnecessary effort, and uses a frivolous manner to conceal how closely he is reading a situation. 3 235

Despite this indolence, he possesses firm personal values. He refused hidden Main God missions requiring him to kill Sengoku or Garp, betray the Marines, or join pirates, even when those tasks offered major rewards. 150 He also chose the Light Faction in the Ultraman World because joining a mission to destroy humanity would conflict with his justice. 212

When allies or civilians are in danger, Kizaru becomes notably direct and serious. He saved Akainu from Madara’s Flame Formation, lured Golza away from Akita City to enable civilian evacuation, and risked his life to redirect the falling moon. 148 213 308

Story Role / Major Arcs

Arlong Arrest and Minato’s First Mission

Kizaru defeated and detained Arlong, only for Minato Namikaze to intervene. He endured Minato’s ninjutsu, Sage Mode, illusions, and space-time attacks, but Minato ultimately escaped after killing Arlong himself. 2 3

Marine Headquarters and Reincarnator Activities

Kizaru investigated the disappearance of Smoker from history, sparred destructively with Garp, and was assigned to escort Queen Otohime’s diplomatic delegation at Mary Geoise. Nagato recognized him as a Reincarnator who had previously fought beside him. 58 59 61

Battle Against Madara and Blackbeard

During the large-scale Marine conflict, Kizaru stopped slacking off to rescue Akainu and hold Madara Uchiha at bay. In Giant of Light form, he destroyed Madara’s meteor and fought the Complete Body Susanoo before later striking Blackbeard through the heart; Blackbeard’s multiple hearts prevented the kill from completing the mission. 148 150

Ultraman World Mission

Kizaru chose the Light Faction with Garp and Aokiji, fought Golza during the evacuation of Akita City, and defended the ultra-ancient giant statues from Golza and Melba. He was ultimately killed by Melba after Golza disrupted his light form, forcing him to expend an Advanced Rebirth Cross. 212 214 215

Sabaody Archipelago Incident

Ordered to respond after Celestial Dragons were taken hostage, Kizaru defeated several Supernovas and used Sealing Beam to suppress Naruto’s Tailed Beast transformation. He covertly stalled for time after learning that Luffy was Garp’s grandson, enabling Kuma’s intervention and the Straw Hats’ escape. 235 236

New Navy and Moonfall Crisis

Kizaru joined Garp and Aokiji in supporting a New World under the Combined Revolutionary Army. When the moon began falling toward the planet, he failed to stop it with brute force alone, then appealed directly to the world for faith. Their collective belief empowered his Miracle Ray and changed the moon’s course. 289 307 308
