Richie
Richie is a giant lion who serves as a mount and companion within Buggy's crew. Richie participates in confrontations alongside Mohji and other crew members while traveling with the group across various locations. The lion is known for carrying Mohji into battles and engaging directly with opponents such as Luffy.
Richie appears in multiple encounters that highlight the crew's activities from early voyages through later gatherings. The lion remains tied to Mohji's commands during attacks and retreats while also joining crew events like parties and defensive actions near ships.
Appearance
Richie presents as a large lion-like beast with a wild mane that bristles during confrontations. The lion towers over street scenes when rearing on hind legs and displays sharp teeth when roaring with wide open jaws.12
Richie shows sweat drops and furrowed brows in moments of panic or after impacts. The lion's massive paws create large impact effects when smashing objects and the figure often appears with limbs splayed when sent flying backward.12
Personality
Richie displays a fierce demeanor when ordered into action yet quickly shifts to visible panic under unexpected pressure. The lion roars loudly during initial charges but then begs and screams in terror when faced with stretching attacks, crying out for help as impacts land. Sweat drops and wide eyes appear in later scenes involving rain or sudden commands, showing consistent unease when situations turn chaotic.34
The lion also shows confusion and emotional responses during lighter moments with the crew. Richie reacts with a puzzled growl when encouraged to perform at a party and later appears with emotional faces including tears while seated beside Buggy. These reactions indicate the animal remains reactive to its surroundings even outside direct combat.56
Abilities and powers
Richie charges through buildings and lunges to bite targets on command. The lion smashes cages with massive paws and attempts grabs during assaults while roaring in fury at opponents.78
Richie attacks after hearing specific names and gets launched through the air by physical force from Luffy. The lion remains near burning ships while licking a paw and glares while licking chops at targets.910
