One Piece’s Vivre Card databook is a constantly-expanding set of Japanese character profiles that assigns just about every character in the series a number, based mostly on their order of appearance. Though they more compile existing information than introduce anything new, these profiles are something I’ve been following with great interest.

This archive of numbered was something I started working on for Arlong Park years ago when the databook first started coming out, to a positive reception. And now I have a website to host it on!

While there are spreadsheet-style tables on the wiki and a list of characters on the databook’s official Japanese website, I thought they were both missing some elements for the ideal visualisation of the characters covered and who they were.

So, despite it being a whole lot of work every time a new pack comes out, I set up a tiled, visual guide. Easier to remember who all these minor characters are when there’s a picture to go with them. And the tiled format lets us see where the gaps are and watch with satisfaction as they get filled in. And I just like stepping back and seeing all these little guys lined up. I even take the liberty of adding a colour category to the EX-characters so they fit right in with the full cards.

So click here to check out the Vivre Card Archive!

Be fairly warned, there’s a lot of pretty large images on the linked page. Takes a certain size to keep the names legible, you know?
