Dr. Ratchet is the villain of the seventh One Piece film and the feudal lord of Mecha Island. A self-styled genius inventor, he is convinced his brilliance entitles him to rule the world, and he builds an army of clockwork machines to pursue that ambition.
Ratchet is a lean man whose light brown hair is parted in a sharp seven-to-three split, and his narrow brown eyes lend him a menacing cast. He wears baggy yellow overalls that leave his thin chest bare, paired with a thick black scarf patterned in red gears. His round, pale orange glasses have a mechanical look, complete with windshield wipers built into the frames.
For all his gifts in mathematics, science, and astronomy, Ratchet badly overthinks everything and is short on plain wisdom and common sense, unable to crack Mecha Island's riddle without the Straw Hats' help. Faced with a pond to cross, he correctly grasps that the water must be drained, then proposes everyone simply drink all of it. Arrogant and full of himself, he routinely underestimates opponents, watching mech after mech fall to a single attack from Luffy. He comes across as a booksmart but petty, vindictive, and ineffectual man puffed up with delusions of grandeur.
Ratchet is a phenomenally gifted builder, the maker of every machine on Mecha Island, including the battle suit for Honki and the apparatus used by Maji. In his duel with Luffy he piloted a series of clockwork Powered Suits, each fitted with a winding key in its back. These included Zogame-kun 5-go, a turtle-shaped transport with a rotating shell; Tetsujin-kun 28-go, a battle suit armed with a launchable drill, grappling claws, and magnetic feet; the larger, amphibious Tetsujin-kun 32-go with its cannons and spiked arms; and the immense Super Zogame-kun, a power-hungry tortoise machine bristling with cannons and a rocket-firing claw.

When I first decided to commit to watching One Piece seriously, I knew I was embarking on one of anime's longest and most beloved series. With over 100...

The transformation everyone knows, the follow-up question nobody would touch. Why we made a smooth R&B track about the golden glow Dragon Ball never talks about....

Ratchet is the antagonist of the seventh One Piece film, where he rules Mecha Island and builds an army of clockwork machines to pursue world domination.
Ratchet built every machine on Mecha Island and piloted a series of wind-up Powered Suits against Luffy, including the turtle-shaped Zogame-kun 5-go, the drill-armed Tetsujin-kun 28-go, the amphibious Tetsujin-kun 32-go, and the massive, cannon-studded Super Zogame-kun.
Despite his real gifts in mathematics, science, and astronomy, Ratchet is short on common sense and arrogant, unable to solve Mecha Island's riddle without the Straw Hats' help and prone to underestimating Luffy as his mechs are destroyed one after another.
Ratchet's final giant mecha is destroyed when Luffy unwittingly triggers Gear 2 and unleashes a Jet Bazooka that annihilates it, and Ratchet is afterward punished with a spanking from his own mother, Roba.
