I have been seeing _One Piece_ for a long time. I came to notice that during
any funny scene, Nico Robin is never seen to make any kind of funny or weird
face while all the other Straw Hat crew members do.

Did Oda at some time mention this specifically?

Why is Robin never seen making funny faces?


I didn't read anything official. But I think it's just part of its cold
personality, as you should know, she is always thinking the worst possibility
when some danger is coming (scaring Usopp and Chopper in the process, maybe
intentionally xD).

Nico Robin had a lonely childhood. Her mother was out on her expedition to
uncover the secrets of the Void Century. Her only friends during her childhood
days were the scholars of Ohara, and Saul for sometime.

During her time with Saul she was shown to smile and laugh in a funny manner.

But soon, at the age of 8, after the extermination of Ohara along with her
friends and mother, she was on the run with a bounty of 79 million beri.

She was always targeted by anyone who found out about her true identity. This
is a very harsh childhood for a kid. Enough to make a kid a "serious" type and
steal their humor.

Also, during the Enis Lobby arc, she mentions her fear:

It is evident from this that she was always over thinking things, and putting
a lot of burden on herself. She kept her sadness and worries to herself, and
in such a situation it is very rare for a person to make funny expressions,
rather they have a cold look.

Robin never over-reacts to things. She is a very mature character, taking
things calmly and in a genuine manner. Her humour is mostly dry, which does
not lend itself to silly faces either.

I do not believe that Oda would mention this directly, as he would probably
think it evident from her character.

Though considered motherly figure & often laughing of watching others'
stupidity, she did do some weird stuff, including:

  * Sanji's Docking suggestion, while in Thriller Bark.
  * Oars' getting stuck in ground & helpless scene.
  * Coat scene in Punk Hazard.
  * Tontatta Headquarter's scene in Dressrosa.
  * Post Birdcage scenes.

Although they are few, they actually do exist. Therefore, it makes them even
more special, because, they are so rare.

Now she does. In chapter 924, she finally puts on a face.

Here are 2 other instances where Robin makes weird faces. It's very rare, but
it makes me happy to know that she is no longer invulnerable to them. [![enter
