Faces da Justiça - Almirantes (One Piece)

“Faces da Justiça - Almirantes (One Piece)” by Kaito Rapper is a compelling exploration of the different philosophies of justice embodied by the admirals in the popular anime and manga series, One Piece. The song delves into the complex and often conflicting ideologies of three key characters: Aokiji, Kizaru, and Akainu, each representing a unique facet of justice within the Marine organization.

Aokiji, also known as Kuzan, is portrayed as embodying 'Lazy Justice.' His verses reflect a sense of disillusionment and moral ambiguity. He questions his role and the righteousness of his actions, showing a reluctance to act unless absolutely necessary. This is evident in lines like, “Acho que tô do lado errado, mas não posso falar sobre” (I think I'm on the wrong side, but I can't talk about it). Aokiji’s justice is flexible and changes with circumstances, much like his ice powers that can adapt and transform.

Kizaru, or Borsalino, represents 'Uncertain Justice.' His lyrics are filled with a sense of nonchalance and unpredictability. He follows orders without much personal investment, as seen in lines like, “Eu só tô seguindo regras, não se atreva a quebra-las” (I'm just following rules, don't dare break them). Kizaru’s light-based powers symbolize his swift and often blinding approach to justice, where speed and efficiency take precedence over moral considerations.

Akainu, or Sakazuki, stands for 'Absolute Justice.' His verses are aggressive and uncompromising, reflecting a black-and-white view of the world. He believes in eradicating all pirates to maintain order, as highlighted in lines like, “Fire! Se toca, porra, a justiça é absoluta!” (Fire! Get it, damn it, justice is absolute!). Akainu’s magma powers underscore his fiery and destructive approach, willing to go to any lengths to achieve his version of justice.

The song not only captures the essence of these characters but also raises questions about the nature of justice itself. Is it better to be flexible, indifferent, or absolute? Through the lens of One Piece, Kaito Rapper invites listeners to ponder these moral dilemmas, making the song a rich tapestry of philosophical inquiry and character study.
