Who is Condoriano from the G-8 Arc in One Piece? Fans of the series, whether old or new, have probably encountered this meme somewhere on social media. If you don’t know about this inside joke yet within the One Piece fandom, here is a guide on Condoriano from the One Piece G-8 Arc.
Who is Condoriano in One Piece?
Condoriano (whose real name is Shepherd) is a commander and special inspector from the Marine Headquarters who arrives at G-8 for an inspection. G-8 is a Marine Base occupying Navarone Island, located in Paradise. It’s between East Blue and South Blue. It should be noted that this is an anime-only island, and G-8 is non-canon to the story. This makes Shepherd an anime-only character.
While the Straw Hats were at G-8 trying to find a way to get out of there, Robin attacked Shepherd and pretended to be him. The soldiers found Shepherd and thought he was an intruder/part of the Straw Hat crew. He was put in the same jail cell as Usopp and Zoro. Shepherd keeps clarifying that he’s a Marine, but Usopp causes a scene and pretends that he’s their ally named Condoriano. Even Zoro joins in on the ruse, also calling him Condoriano.
Fans who know about the meme also sometimes type his name out as Con D. Oriano.
What arc did Condoriano appear in One Piece?
Condoriano or Shepherd is part of the G-8 Arc in One Piece. While G-8 is a filler arc in the anime, many fans recommend watching it anyway. They consider it as one of the best filler arcs or even the best filler arc.
