She is definitely Garp's Nami. "Hey Tsuru...I have an idea to beat these pirates." "No, Garp, we can't just punch them harder." "Come on, you can't just ruin the surprise like that..."

I feel legit super happy that he made the video i know he confirmed that he would make a tsuru video it just feels good knowing Tekking listened to the idea i had and wanted a video for so long Thank you Tekking you really are a legend

The Marine Trio Are finally complete

To give you context for how much Tsuru towers over normal people, Jotaro Kujo, who is memed for being huge, is 195 cm. And Tsuru is 204 cm, 9 cm taller than him. And she's old, meaning her top height could have been around 218 cm - 226 cm.

Congrats on becoming a One Piece mother and not instantly dying.

[ybbus]

Tsuru being the height of an NBA player kind of makes sense with her power literally putting people in a wash/spin cycle 😂

[yolnkhaliahino]

An anime based on Sengoku would be called "Chillin in my 70s After Retiring from Being Fleet Admiral"

[leolegendario]

I like the theory that she was Akainu's master, we see him in her squad in chapter 0, Aokiji with Garp and Kizaru with Sengoku.

[siriusblack]

You know, I wouldn’t be shocked if one of the reasons why Doflamingo chosed to become a warlord was to make sure Tsuru wouldn’t be able to stop him

[grrman]

I'm surprised that there are still characters left that Tekking hasn't covered yet, given all the obscure things in One Piece he's covered.

[yolnkhaliahino]

For some reason I knew Tsuru was very tall, like the majority of Admirals/Vice admirals. Like she's often seen standing shoulder to shoulder with Garp and Sengoku

[snickey]

That segment between garp and tsuru with their kids/grandkids had me dying

Men of the marines: dogs of the military

Females of the marines: birds of a feather

Kuzan: both

I think basically the way you are explaining it she's an executive officer, what you call an XO in the Army.
An XO in theory is second in command to a CO (Commanding officer) for a unit but in practice they are kinda outside the chain of command and handle mostly planning and administration, only ever actually stepping in to lead if the CO is unavailable either permanently or temporarily.

[NuruChanVT]

I'm so used to old people in anime being short, 6 foot 8 is crazy!

[doomtooth]

Huh, just realized her power is based on two uses of "wash", wash as in "washing laundry" which is obvious but also "wash" as in the religious usage of "washing away one's sins" which is why she can make people less evil

[UberVilla]

Garp going to Tsuru with the opposite of the my dad can beat up your dad!, , ,
“My grandkid can beat up your grandkid!” “mine’s a yonko yours isn’t even a vice admiral!”😤😤 😂😂

[jennyesevik]

Tsuru’s and Doflamingo’s ”rivalry” is hinted at from when they’re first introduced in the manga during the warlord meeting. Doffy is playing around making two marines fight each other and Tsuru tells him to cut it out. In the anime they changed it and gave her line to Sengoku.

[connorlilliott]

I really feel like her fruit power is setting up for one of our good pirates (Strawhats, Heart Pirates etc) to be wrung out but their hearts don't change

[williamcorum]

Tekking101 has easily become one of my favorite YouTubers over the past few years. Love these vids

[eternalcherryjubilee]

It's also interesting that Tsuru and Doflamingo are introduced to the series together (actually just 1 chapter gap, but on the same place & event)
