Unforgivable Mask
CharacterUnforgivable Mask is a hidden joke character in One Piece, conceived as the rival to the long running Easter egg Pandaman. He first surfaced in Color Walk 2 and pops up in various background cameos.
Appearance
The figure cuts a brawny, heavily muscled silhouette topped by a panda faced covering. He wears nothing but black swim briefs and boots. What sets him apart from Pandaman and similar lookalikes is that his panda head is plainly a worn mask rather than an actual animal head.
Personality
Oda's notes give little about his temperament, framing him purely through his function as Pandaman's designated rival within the series' hidden character gags.
History
According to an SBS reveal, the Tomato Gang brought Unforgivable Mask on to hunt down Pandaman. Beyond that role he turns up as a buried cameo, appearing in Color Walk 2, tucked inside a snake's mouth under the dust jacket of Volume 46, and hidden behind a hole in the Thousand Sunny in the game One Piece: Unlimited Cruise.
