[ZOOM!] Aokiji Kuzan - P.O.P Edition-Z

Figure: Aokiji Kuzan - P.O.P Edition-Z

Former Admiral in Style: Aokiji Kuzan

Time for the former admirals to get their moment in the spotlight! Aokiji Kuzan, who famously resigned from the Marines after his devastating duel with Akainu, returns in figure form with a look that's cooler—literally and figuratively—than ever before! Straight from his appearance in One Piece Film: Z, Aokiji steps onto the P.O.P stage in the Edition-Z series, and it’s safe to say he’s never looked this effortlessly badass.

The Cool Factor Just Froze Over

The fourth figure in the Edition-Z lineup breaks the Mugiwara-only streak with style, and once again, the incredible Yuuki Ishiyama takes the sculpting reins. His reputation for picky, high-quality detailing is on full display here. Aokiji's towering, slim, and muscular frame is perfectly captured, standing tall with that laid-back energy that's all his own. His black, curly hair, chin-length and fanning out at the tips, adds a sense of unkempt coolness, while his newly grown facial hair—thin mustache and beard—gives him a more rugged, matured vibe. The facial detailing is crystal clear and loaded with subtle emotion; you can practically hear his lazy voice just looking at him.

A Wardrobe Worthy of a Legend

Kuzan’s new look is a masterclass in casual authority. He sports a blue bandana tied around his head, a dark green trench coat draped casually over his shoulders, black pants, and a deep V-neck white shirt that perfectly shows off his lean frame. His black cowboy boots plant him firmly on the ground, and his travel-ready knapsack, along with the old green round sunglasses, complete the nomadic vibe. The outfit’s painting work is a joy to behold: subtle gradients, natural shadows, and incredibly smooth transitions make the clothes look almost real when the figure catches the light. It's a look that's both nostalgic—recalling his Ohara bombardment days—and entirely fresh, a perfect blend of old and new.

Battle Scars and Raw Realism

After his brutal Punk Hazard battle, Kuzan’s body bears the evidence of war: horrific burn scars that run from the right side of his neck, down his shoulder, and across his torso. On this figure, those scars are disturbingly realistic—almost too realistic. The sculpted texture and carefully shaded paintwork make them look like real injuries, adding an unsettling but powerful layer of storytelling to the figure. It's the kind of detail that doesn't just make you admire the craftsmanship—it makes you feel the character's past hardships.

Swappable Ice Power!

Aokiji’s legendary powers also get their time to shine. The figure comes with two alternative right arms: one simple iced arm to capture his icy aura, and a second dynamic option featuring a massive ice sword, complete with swirling ice formations that look like they just burst into being. The translucent ice effect is gorgeous, capturing the chilling beauty of his powers with swirling textures and a glossy, frozen finish that looks amazing from any angle. And because no Aokiji figure would be complete without a nod to his laid-back persona, there's also a bottle of wine accessory for his left hand—perfectly replicating the emotional closing moments from Film Z when he honors Zephyr at his grave.

Final Thoughts: Chill, Stylish, and Absolutely Essential

Aokiji Kuzan - P.O.P Edition-Z is a figure that doesn’t just freeze the competition—it obliterates it. Between the relaxed-yet-imposing pose, the masterfully detailed outfit, the chilling realism of his scars, and the beautifully dynamic alternate parts, this is an absolute standout in the P.O.P line. Whether you’re a Film Z fanatic, an admiral collector, or just someone who appreciates flawless craftsmanship, this Aokiji is pure, refined coolness incarnate.
