Samael

Biodata

Power Progression

Appearance

• Normal form: A floating mass of orange, ghostlike fire with a humanlike face rather than a human body. His facial expressions remain clearly visible in the flames 11 23 49.
• Manifested limbs: Forms flaming arms, hands, and legs to gesture, attack, carry objects, or kneel in prayer 12 19 32.
• Fire God Form: Expands into a much larger flame being. His size varies from several meters to dozens of meters tall in his early battles and reaches one hundred meters during the confrontation with Katakuri 17 40 52 53.
• Wanted portrait: Depicts him as an abstract ball of ghost fire, recognizable enough for Doflamingo to identify him 49.
• Rogers’s body: Temporarily assumes the appearance of Rogers, captain of the One-Eyed Pirates, by inhabiting his restored corpse. Killingham recognizes the borrowed face, while Sigma initially fails to recognize Samael in this form 62 63 76.
• Empowered flames: After his Haki breakthrough, black lightning runs through his elemental body and stains his flames black. Kaido observes his fire becoming half black and half gold 106.

Personality

Samael is short-tempered, destructive, and easily provoked. Immediately after receiving life, he burns the corpse of the bird that swallowed his fruit, resenting his confinement inside its stomach. His first offer of repayment to Dimon is to ask whom his master wants burned to death 11 12.

He considers Logias a superior class and openly belittles Zoans and Paramecias. He calls Mammon “just a bat,” dismisses Big Eye as a lesser demon, and initially loses interest in Ain after learning she is a Zoan rather than a wind Logia. Even fellow Logias receive no automatic respect: he calls the unawakened Caesar a disgrace to their class 12 39 40 43.

His arrogance extends to Emperors and the World Government. He insults Charlotte Linlin during ransom negotiations and regards his billion-Beli bounty as an affront rather than an honor. Although he believes himself comparable to an admiral or Emperor, Dimon does not consider victory against an Emperor assured 22 34 49.

Around Dimon, Samael becomes reverent, affectionate, and conspicuously obedient. He addresses his creator as a god, performs elaborate prayers, and fears being confined again. He also exaggerates danger or feigns distress to escape blame; after devastating Punk Hazard, he claims Caesar nearly killed him, a story Dimon immediately recognizes as false 19 29 44.

His greatest operational weakness is distraction. He becomes absorbed in fighting or displaying his power and forgets his assignment, prompting Dimon to appoint Big Eye as his deputy. Nevertheless, Samael recognizes the danger of entering Big Mom’s territory and insists he is “too lazy to think, not an idiot” 19 34 35.

Despite his belligerence, he can feel an obligation to reciprocate another person’s cooperation. After Katakuri voluntarily gives him the two Devil Fruits, Samael sincerely requests permission to remain behind and ensure his escape from Kizaru. His pride also contributes to the decision: he resents Katakuri treating the admiral as a greater threat than himself 54.

His stalemate with Kizaru deals the first severe blow to his confidence since his animation. Unable to injure the admiral, he develops an intense desire to learn Haki and begs Dimon for help. Although he dislikes having to train after being born with complete fruit mastery, he commits himself to improving so that he can defeat Kizaru in a future encounter 58 61 62.

Samael remains highly susceptible to praise and demonstrations of deference. Bethany’s use of “Lord Wrath” immediately wins his favor and prompts him to request her as a replacement assistant. He also treats his prayers as necessary ceremonies and attempts to claim credit for the crew’s collection of Sky Island gold 62 70.

His faith in Dimon persists even through failure and injury. During Kaido’s beating, he never doubts Dimon’s claim that the Emperor can help him awaken Haki, instead assuming the fault lies with himself. After his breakthrough, he enthusiastically declares Kaido the greatest teacher 101 106.

Abilities & Skills

Flame-Flame Fruit

Samael is the animated fruit itself, not a human who has eaten it. He begins life with complete proficiency in its abilities 11 16.

• Fire generation: Produces fireballs, streams of flame, enormous hands, and other shaped attacks 17 29 49.
• Remote ignition: Sets targets alight at a distance, including Moria, zombies, automatic guns, and his own wanted poster 18 20 40 49.
• Extreme heat: Melts stone into lava and automatic weapons into scrap 12 40.
• Oxygen-independent flames: Continues attacking after Caesar removes the surrounding oxygen; Caesar cannot extinguish his fire by that method 40 43.
• Flight: Floats freely and travels through the air as a streak of flame 48.
• Flame enclosures: Shapes fire into cages, including a hand-shaped prison for Caesar and a hemispherical enclosure used to obstruct Kizaru while Katakuri escapes 49 54.
• Persistent awakened flames: After his Haki breakthrough, scatters black fire over the Flower Capital. Kaido observes that the flames reignite after being brushed away and attributes their persistence within Samael’s range to Logia awakening 106.

Elemental Body and Flame Clones

His body consists of fire and can scatter, reshape, and reassemble after attacks 18 49.

• Bullets and Moria’s Shadow Horn Spear pass through him without injury 18 40.
• Re-forms after Doflamingo cuts his fire into six pieces and after Caesar’s gas attack explodes through his chest 43 49.
• Creates numerous flame clones, covering nearly everything within a thousand meters during his battle with Moria 19.
• Transfers his consciousness between clones and uses them to attack from different directions 19 40.
• Survives Cracker’s Haki-coated attacks and manifests again elsewhere. Later encounters establish that his pure elemental form lacks the physical “true body” that Armament Haki normally strikes in a Logia user 29 30 52 53.
• Katakuri’s Armament-coated mochi bullets pass through him, and capturing one manifestation in a giant mochi hand does not prevent him from appearing elsewhere 51.
• Can operate a clone separately from his ongoing battle, sending the two ransom fruits back to the ship while his other manifestation continues fighting Kizaru 54 55.
• After abandoning Rogers’s body, scatters into sparks to evade Thunder Bagua. His presence spreads throughout the Flower Capital, preventing Kaido from isolating a single location with Observation Haki 106.

Fire God Form

Samael enlarges his elemental body into a towering figure of fire, increasing his reach and the scale of his attacks 17 40.

• Forms enormous limbs for striking opponents 19.
• Emits enough heat to force nearby opponents back 40.
• Produces brilliant light that eliminates his own cast shadow, forcing Moria’s hidden Doppelman to emerge 19.
• Reaches one hundred meters in height against Katakuri and counters a high-pressure seawater cannon with a giant Fire Fist 52 53.

Named Techniques

Inhabiting Dimon

Samael can merge into Dimon’s body, temporarily granting his creator the Flame-Flame Fruit’s abilities 12.

• Dimon gains access to elementalization and awakened fire power while hosting him 12.
• Samael’s consciousness can be suppressed during the merger; Dimon later releases that restraint to let him act independently 12 17.
• He cannot freely inhabit arbitrary inanimate objects without Dimon’s help. His attempt to enter a stone merely melts it 12.

Rogers’s Body

Dimon supplies Samael with a physical vessel by animating Rogers’s corpse. Animation restores the body but leaves it without a soul or consciousness of its own, allowing Samael to inhabit and control it 62.

• Retained fruit abilities: Can still use Elementalization while possessing the body. Dimon describes the arrangement as resembling a Devil Fruit that has “eaten” a person rather than the reverse 62.
• Physical discomfort: Initially finds the human body weak, heavy, and awkward compared with his natural elemental form 62.
• Conventional vulnerabilities: The vessel supplies a physical body that Armament Haki can strike. It also suffers severe internal damage from Kaido’s Conqueror’s Haki-coated blows 62 106.
• Prepared vessel required: An ordinary corpse is unsuitable; Dimon must first restore it through Animation 62.
• Voluntary abandonment: Can leave the vessel and return to pure fire. Rogers’s body proves unable to withstand Emperor-level combat and suppresses the unusual power that erupts after Samael discards it 106.

Unusual Haki

Samael initially cannot use Haki. His inability to harm Kizaru motivates Dimon to provide Rogers’s body as a possible means of gathering the physical life energy required for conventional Haki. Despite continued practice, the experiment yields little progress 16 58 59 62 67 101.

His breakthrough occurs during the battle with Kaido, after repeated Conqueror’s Haki-coated attacks and his departure from the borrowed body. Black lightning erupts through his flames, producing an unusual fusion that greatly increases his offensive power 106.

• Flame–Haki fusion: His power combines directly with fire rather than merely coating an ordinary body or weapon. Kaido questions whether it is truly Armament Haki, and Dimon likewise considers it unlike conventional human Haki 106.
• Enhanced attacks: Fire God’s Right Hand forces Kaido into the ground despite his Armament defense, while scattered black flames repeatedly scorch the Emperor 106.
• Independent of a human vessel: Dimon concludes that the borrowed body was a hindrance to Samael’s breakthrough rather than a requirement. He speculates that the phenomenon may be a devil’s unique Haki, but does not establish whether it is unique to Samael or shared by other animated fruits 106.

Limits and Vulnerabilities

• Haki learning: Cannot use Haki in his early battles and makes little progress through conventional training, even with a restored human vessel and Dimon’s notes. This limitation ends with his unusual breakthrough against Kaido 16 62 67 76 101 106.
• Armament Haki and physical form: His pure elemental body has no human “true body” for ordinary Armament Haki to strike. This protection does not extend to Rogers’s borrowed body and does not make him immune to every form of Haki 52 53 62.
• Conqueror’s Haki: Exceptionally powerful Conqueror’s Haki can disperse his flames. Kaido briefly scatters them, while the warthog Elder’s roar breaks apart his giant form and blows him out to sea 53 106 123.
• Seawater and seastone: Remain weaknesses despite his unusual elemental nature. He overcomes Katakuri’s initial seawater cannon through firepower, but Katakuri correctly identifies that greater quantities of seawater could threaten him 52 53.
• Opposing Logias: Before learning Haki, cannot meaningfully injure Kizaru’s light body. Their prolonged battle becomes a stalemate rather than proof that Samael can defeat an admiral 54 58.
• Special defenses: Ordinary flames fail to destroy Perona’s ghosts or completely eliminate Moria’s shadow bats. His direct fireball also fails to damage Moria’s Shadow Shield 17 18.
• Precision and reconnaissance: Far better suited to destruction than locating a particular person; he relies on Ain during the search for Lola 18.
• Capture remains possible: Dimon believes Big Mom’s combined forces might capture him, although he states that death does not apply to Devil Fruits in the ordinary sense 34.
• Persistent flame limits: Samael boasts that Amaterasu can follow Kaido forever, but Dimon considers its practical effect on the Emperor modest rather than decisive 107.

History

Animation on Sixis Island

Dimon reaches Sixis Island before Ace and Deuce can eat the Flame-Flame Fruit. After Mammon retrieves it from a treasure chest inside a bird’s stomach, Dimon animates it. The fruit burns to ashes and becomes an elemental creature, whom Dimon names Samael of Wrath because of his violent power 11.

Samael retains memories of his former user, Babel the Fish-Man, whom Dimon identifies as a former Rocks Pirate. He disparages Babel’s use of his power and thanks Dimon for giving him a life in which he no longer needs to be eaten. Shortly afterward, he inhabits Dimon, allowing his creator to recognize the fruit’s awakened capabilities 11 12.

Thriller Bark

Dimon sends Samael into Thriller Bark to retrieve Charlotte Lola as leverage against Big Mom. A confrontation with one of Perona’s ghosts escalates into Fire God’s Roar, alerting the island to his presence 17.

Samael then fights Gecko Moria, ignoring attempts to bargain over the supposed captive. He defeats and nearly kills Moria, but a subordinate using the Clear-Clear Fruit helps Moria escape. Only afterward does Ain remind Samael that his assignment was to find Lola, not fight Moria 18 19.

Resuming the search, Samael recovers a sword at Dimon’s request and locates Lola in the underground prison. He brings both aboard the Wave-Breaking Warrior; Dimon identifies the sword as Black Blade Shusui and orders Lola kept confined 19 20.

Big Mom Ransom and the Sabaody Battle

Samael demands a box of Devil Fruits from Charlotte Linlin in exchange for Lola. The negotiation fails, and Dimon anticipates that a Sweet Commander will come to test their strength. Samael is assigned to guard the ship and capture the attacker alive 22 23.

When Charlotte Cracker arrives, Samael engages him, initially mistaking a biscuit soldier for his real body. Shusui joins the battle and seriously wounds Cracker before Samael unleashes Flame Emperor Flame Explosion. Samael subsequently escapes aboard Ship Zuizui with the captured commander, has Lola apply seastone shackles, and gives Cracker diluted Longevity Wine to keep him alive 29 30 32.

Negotiating with Perospero, Samael again demands a chest of fruits. At Dimon’s instruction, he accepts two Devil Fruits for two hostages and rejects an exchange on Whole Cake Island. The parties instead arrange to meet on Doflamingo’s territory 33 34.

Punk Hazard

While traveling toward Dressrosa, Samael proposes blasting a passage through the Red Line. Big Eye prevents the attempt and transports the ship across instead. Later, Samael rushes toward Punk Hazard’s research institute to seize the Azure Dragon Fruit, disregarding Big Eye’s advice to wait until Zephyr leaves 38 39.

Under Dimon’s orders to cause a commotion, Samael enters Research Institute No. 1 and confronts Caesar. Their battle escalates from flame attacks and swords to Demon Fire: Infinite Hell, which transforms the island into an inferno. Caesar escapes while Samael is absorbed in the spectacle 40 41 43 44.

Samael withdraws with Sigma after Mammon stages his defeat. The World Government identifies Samael as the culprit behind Punk Hazard’s destruction, and his first bounty is set at one billion Beli 44 45 46.

Dressrosa

Upon reaching Dressrosa, Samael leaves the ship to meet Doflamingo. There he learns about his bounty, burns the poster in anger at its supposedly inadequate amount, and agrees to hold the hostage exchange on Green Bit 48 49.

When Caesar appears, Samael traps him inside a flaming hand shaped like a cage. Dimon intervenes to preserve Caesar for his Artificial Devil Fruit technology. Doflamingo offers to oversee the project and obtain genuine Devil Fruits as well, earning Samael’s enthusiastic approval as his “number one lackey” 49 50.

At Green Bit, Katakuri conceals the two payment fruits inside his body and challenges Samael to take them. Samael immediately attacks, but Katakuri uses Future Sight to prepare defenses against his remote ignition. Their confrontation demonstrates that Katakuri’s Armament Haki cannot locate a physical true body within Samael’s flames. Katakuri instead constructs a mochi water cannon connected to the sea, which Samael counters with Fire Fist 51 52 53.

Kizaru’s arrival interrupts the confrontation. Katakuri voluntarily throws the fruits to Samael and proposes joining forces, but Samael angrily insists he can handle the admiral alone. He attacks Kizaru’s light barrage with golden divine fire, then entrusts the fruits to a clone 54.

Rather than immediately withdraw, Samael asks Dimon for permission to protect Katakuri’s escape in return for handing over the fruits. Dimon approves, recognizing that Samael cannot defeat Kizaru without Haki but is unlikely to lose either. Samael intercepts Kizaru, encloses them both in a cage of fire, and uses clones and a flaming sword to keep the admiral occupied 54 55.

The battle continues into the following day without either combatant being able to injure the other. Samael becomes increasingly frustrated by his lack of Haki and refuses Kizaru’s offer to stop. Dimon eventually orders him to withdraw, and Samael obeys after threatening to return for a rematch 58 59.

A Physical Vessel and Haki Training

Upon returning to the Wave-Breaking Warrior, Samael kneels before Dimon and begs to learn Haki. Dimon explains that Mammon’s method cannot readily work for a creature without a physical body and leads him to an experiment involving Rogers’s corpse 61.

Dimon restores the corpse through Animation, leaving it without an independent consciousness. Samael inhabits it and successfully uses Elementalization, confirming that the vessel can coexist with his fruit abilities. Although the body feels cumbersome and introduces a target for Armament Haki, Samael agrees to train in order to defeat Kizaru 62.

During the subsequent planning meeting, he takes a liking to Bethany’s respectful manner and asks to replace Big Eye with her as his assistant. When Sigma returns, the dragon fails to recognize Samael’s new appearance and inadvertently reveals that he calls him “stinky fart fire,” provoking Samael’s anger 62 63.

Sky Island and the Gold Deposit

During the voyage to Sky Island, Samael continues trying to awaken Haki but falls behind Sigma and Lycaon, both of whom succeed with Bethany’s assistance. His inability to harm another Logia prevents him from taking the leading role against Enel, despite his resentment of Enel’s claim to godhood. Sigma assigns him to collect gold while Sigma and Bethany confront the island’s ruler 67.

Guided by Ain, Samael learns that Shandora lies buried beneath the forest on God’s Island and encounters the enormous python known as the Sky Lord near the ruins. After the crew gathers its gold, he ceremonially prays to Dimon for further instructions, presenting the achievement as his own service to their lord 69 70.

Dimon sends Samael and Bethany to Doflamingo with gold worth approximately one billion Beli as a deposit for Devil Fruits. Bethany puts the palace guards to sleep, allowing them to enter Doflamingo’s bedchamber. They also seek information about the Heavenly Tribute. Doflamingo explains the difficulty of obtaining Devil Fruits and mentions having previously sold a Snail Fruit 71.

Heavenly Tribute Raid

While studying Dimon’s handwritten Haki notes, Samael receives orders to intercept the Holy Knights and recover the Devil Fruit being carried aboard the Heavenly Tribute transport. Delighted at the prospect of fighting, he plunges from the Wave-Breaking Warrior as a fiery meteor and destroys the transport with his impact 76.

Gunko and the orange-haired knight pursue Bethany, leaving Killingham to face Samael. Samael sets the bandage bird beneath Killingham alight through his gaze, prompting the knight to compare him with the previous Flame-Flame Fruit user. Samael openly identifies Babel’s connection to the Rocks Pirates and dismisses him 76.

Killingham recognizes Rogers’s face and assumes that the former rookie pirate has concealed his strength and affiliation. Samael casually accepts the mistaken identity. Killingham then summons a giant nightmare bird and numerous dream monsters, including a black-flamed likeness of Samael himself 76.

During the operation, Dimon summons Samael to the wreckage through a golden magic circle. Samael almost addresses him as master but quickly substitutes “Big Eye” to avoid exposing their identities 78.

Continued Training and Wano

Samael continues working on Haki during the crew’s later travels. When the organization receives orders to deliver Luffy’s blood to Vegapunk and obtain Doflamingo’s blood, he remembers the mission clearly enough for Ship Zuizui to tease him about his improved attentiveness, then leaves to train 95.

Dimon later brings Samael and Lycaon to Wano Country. At a ramen shop in the Flower Capital, Samael initially assumes that Dimon wants Komurasaki herself, but learns that his actual targets are Enma and Ame no Habakiri. Dimon explains that Samael’s lack of training progress is the reason for bringing him: he intends to have Kaido’s blows force a Haki breakthrough 101.

When Kaido arrives in response to the seizure of the shogun’s residence, Samael greets him with Fire Fist. Kaido emerges unharmed, asks about Sigma’s copied Azure Dragon ability, and attacks Samael, swallowing him before crashing into a city block 104.

After roughly half an hour of fighting, Rogers’s body is badly damaged internally by repeated Conqueror’s Haki-coated strikes. Kaido praises his tenacity and offers him a place in his crew. Samael rejects the invitation and abandons the borrowed body, which he considers incapable of sustaining Emperor-level combat 106.

Upon returning to pure elemental form, Samael unleashes black lightning fused with his flames. Recognizing his breakthrough, he praises Kaido as the greatest teacher and retaliates with Fire God’s Right Hand. He then scatters into sparks to avoid Thunder Bagua and rains persistent black fire across the battlefield 106.

Dimon supports him by sending Shusui and Raiu against Kaido. After Shusui pierces the Emperor’s defenses, Samael gathers his black flames behind Kaido and fires Fire God’s Roar through the Flower Capital toward the wilderness. The fighting between Samael and Kaido, together with Lycaon’s battle against King, leaves more than half the capital devastated 106.

Afterward, Samael boasts that his black flames will pursue Kaido forever. Dimon suggests the name Amaterasu, which Samael enthusiastically adopts, though Dimon considers the technique only a limited inconvenience to Kaido 107.

Whitebeard and Kuranos

Samael accompanies Sigma to meet the Whitebeard Pirates, where Marco recognizes him as the reputed destroyer of Punk Hazard. Samael insists on being addressed as the God of Flames and asks for the Devil Fruit promised to the organization 111.

When Whitebeard expresses interest in meeting their lord, Samael insists that Dimon is a god who cannot be met simply on demand. The captains block his approach before he can come within ten meters of Whitebeard 112.

After Sigma delivers Yamata no Orochi to Dimon and it is revived as Kuranos, Samael is present with Big Eye. Dimon subsequently orders him and Sigma back to the ship after detecting Tama nearby. With his Haki now awakened, Samael finds returning to the ship unappealing but obeys 113.

Battle at Marine Headquarters

Samael arrives at Marine Headquarters through a magic circle alongside Sigma and immediately taunts Sengoku, asking for three Devil Fruits and proposing that the Fleet Admiral hand over the one he is holding. His improved strength after the Kaido battle makes him eager to test himself against Sengoku 118.

Sigma tells him to support Kuranos instead. Samael initially protests that Sengoku is his target, but leaves immediately when Sigma points out that Kizaru is in the inner bay 119.

During the subsequent battle, Samael takes on a giant flame form and uses Amaterasu. The arrival of the Five Elders places him under additional pressure: a vast sandworm draws both him and his falling black flames toward its mouth, while a giant warthog releases a distant roar infused with Conqueror’s Haki. The roar scatters his giant body, reduces him to a human-faced ball of ghost fire, and blows him out to sea 123.

Relationships

• Dimon — Creator, master, and object of worship. Samael seeks his praise, obeys his direct instructions, and fears confinement as punishment. Dimon provides Rogers’s body, writes Haki training notes for him, and brings him to Kaido to force a breakthrough 11 19 44 62 76 101 106.
• Mammon — Fellow animated fruit and frequent target of his anti-Zoan insults. Samael takes particular pleasure in mocking him while Mammon must maintain his Marine cover 12 44.
• Ain — Communications support and mission guide. She relays Dimon’s orders, identifies enemies, and repeatedly redirects Samael toward his actual assignment. She guides his fruit-carrying clone away from Green Bit and later helps him return to Dimon 18 19 29 54 61.
• Big Eye — Appointed deputy tasked with keeping missions on track. Samael calls him “Bird” and a lesser demon, often disregarding his advice. After the Kizaru stalemate, Big Eye teases him about his failure, and Samael later requests Bethany as a replacement assistant because she is more respectful. Big Eye is subsequently described as his former deputy 35 38 39 62 113.
• Ship Zuizui — Frequent quarrelling partner. Zuizui threatens to report Samael when his attacks endanger the ship; they also argue over Longevity Wine. Zuizui later expresses surprise when Samael remembers a mission without becoming distracted 29 32 44 95.
• Sigma — Fellow Seven Deadly Sins officer. Carries Samael away from Punk Hazard after their mission. They exchange insults and teasing, with Sigma mocking Samael’s difficulty learning Haki and Samael criticizing Sigma’s sleeping habits. At Marine Headquarters, Sigma redirects him toward Kuranos by invoking the opportunity to confront Kizaru 44 63 67 104 119.
• Charlotte Lola and Charlotte Cracker — Hostages used to obtain Devil Fruits from the Big Mom Pirates. Samael keeps Cracker alive to preserve his value in the exchange 32 34.
• Charlotte Katakuri — Opponent during the Green Bit exchange and temporary beneficiary of Samael’s protection. Samael respects his strength more than Cracker’s, although Future Sight frustrates him. After Katakuri voluntarily hands over the fruits, Samael remains to hold off Kizaru and ensure his escape; Katakuri privately considers that they might have become friends without their opposing affiliations 51 52 54.
• Kizaru — Rival and intended rematch opponent. Their prolonged Green Bit battle ends in a stalemate because neither can injure the other. Samael’s frustration motivates his Haki training, and the prospect of meeting Kizaru again immediately draws his attention at Marine Headquarters 54 55 58 59 62 119.
• Caesar Clown — Opponent on Punk Hazard and later captive in Dressrosa. Samael ridicules his weak combat ability, but spares him on Dimon’s orders 43 49 50.
• Donquixote Doflamingo — Host for the hostage exchange and prospective Devil Fruit supplier. Samael unilaterally declares him his leading lackey. He later returns with Bethany to provide a billion-Beli gold deposit and seek information about the Heavenly Tribute 49 50 71.
• Bethany — Fellow animated fruit whose respectful address immediately wins his approval. Samael believes her abilities complement his own and requests her as his assistant. They later carry out the gold-deposit visit to Doflamingo together 62 71.
• Rogers — Deceased pirate whose restored body serves as Samael’s temporary physical vessel. Samael treats the body as replaceable “clothes” and eventually abandons it during the battle with Kaido 62 76 106.
• Killingham — Holy Knight opponent during the Heavenly Tribute raid. Recognizes Rogers’s borrowed face and knows Babel, but does not understand the true nature of Samael’s identity 76.
• Kaido — Enemy and unwitting Haki teacher. Dimon deliberately brings Samael to fight him; after repeated blows and the abandonment of Rogers’s body produce a breakthrough, Samael sincerely praises Kaido’s teaching ability. Kaido is bewildered by his elemental nature and unusual Haki 101 104 106.
• Whitebeard and his captains — Counterparts in the Seven Deadly Sins’ Devil Fruit dealings. Marco treats Samael cautiously, while Samael arrogantly questions Whitebeard’s right to meet Dimon 111 112.
• Kuranos — Fellow animated Devil Fruit whom Samael is sent to support during the battle at Marine Headquarters 113 119 123.
• Babel the Fish-Man — Previous Flame-Flame Fruit user, remembered with disdain. Samael reiterates his contempt when Killingham mentions having known Babel 11 76.
