Kozuki Oden Workout: Train to Become The One Piece Daimyo!

We’re bringing another behemoth into our One Piece Inspired Workouts.

Kozuki Oden has had a TON of requests come in recently and I decided he has to be pushed up the list.

I had originally planned out the next two weeks and then bam The SHJ Army had different plans for us.

Oden didn’t quite make it onto our list of the most powerful One Piece characters, or even the most popular One Piece characters for that matter; but he’s still extremely powerful, and clearly a fan favorite!

We’re used to our One Piece monsters by now, but Oden is still going to be a great addition to our One Piece Workout Placement Quiz.

Kozuki Oden Stats:

Real Name: Kozuki Oden

Height: 12’6

Weight: N/A

Anime: One Piece

Powers: Yes

As I mentioned above, Kozuki Oden is joining our list of behemoths among our Anime Workouts Database.

And I think we actually have more One Piece behemoths than we do behemoths overall…

Wolverine was the shortest spot among comic characters we’ve seen at 5’3, prior to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles coming in at 5’2, (and Gimli even shorter) – but Damian Wayne (Robin) is only 5’4.  Goku isn’t that tall either, though, standing only 5’7, with Miles Morales only an inch above him.

One Punch Man falls in at 5’9 right there with Ryu, Nightwing at 5’10, and then Spider-Man, Daredevil, and Green Arrow coming in around 5’11 and Beast joining them.

We’ve had Superman and Eddie Brock’s Venom at 6’3, and Captain America, Scorpion and Batman at 6’2, and Carnage at 6’1. Thor and Cyborg are towering over them at 6’6, Thanos and King right there with them at 6’7, Bane at 6’8, and Deathstroke right below at 6’5, and Black Manta at 6’4.

Ronan and Sagat are 7’5, and Doomsday came in at 8’10, and I doubt any characters are touching that anytime soon.

But, don’t worry if you’re not the same height or weight range.

We write these routines to be utilized by anyone and everyone.

Kozuki Oden Diet and Nutrition

**Keep in mind: this section will be nearly identical for each hero.**

Every hero needs to still have a good diet.

Unfortunately we can train like them, but I don’t think any of us are suddenly getting their powers, or the ability to magically stop caring about nutrition.

You can’t out train your diet, so I want to still give some pillars for nutrition.

You can start by checking out The Nutrition Pillars on the site, but I’ll break down some more information for you guys as well.

Guys like Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart incorporate 80/20 dieting with big weekly cheat meals, Hugh Jackman, Tom Hopper, Benedict Cumberbatch and Terry Crews utilize intermittent fasting (something I use daily as well), Ariana Grande, Mustafa Shakir and Madelaine Petsch are vegans, Brandon Routh and Frank Grillo opt for paleo, and tons of others utilize their own variations as well.

It’s all about sustainability.

AND, there are a thousand different ways to reach your goals, so finding the most sustainable way is what’s important.

Which is why our Academy utilizes multiple different Nutrition Classes (Greek Gods, Vikings, Spartans, Hunter Gatherers, Monks, Samurais, Minimalists, SuperHumans) to allow people to choose what is right for YOU!

Curious where over a hundred celebs fall in their dietary choices ranging from High Protein and Keto to Vegetarian, Vegan and Intermittent Fasting? Want exclusive celeb meal plans? Check this out.

Kozuki Oden Routine Research

We’ve made it to “the fun part”.

And, if you don’t know by now, I say that every single time we get to the workout routine research section for character workouts.

To learn more about Kozuki Oden I’ll be pulling right from his Wiki Fandom page, starting with his long bio section here:

Kozuki Oden was the daimyo of Kuri in Wano Country and the son of the former shogun Kozuki Sukiyaki, being a member of the Kozuki Family. He was the husband of Kozuki Toki and the father of Momonosuke and Hiyori. Additionally, he was the leader of a group of legendary and powerful samurai known as the Nine Red Scabbards, with all of them serving as his retainers and most trusted allies.

For 5 years of his life, Oden set out to sea and became a pirate, serving as the 2nd division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates and later becoming a member of the Roger Pirates. After finding Joy Boy’s treasure on Laugh Tale, Oden journeyed home and made it his goal to open Wano’s borders to the world by finally taking his father’s place as shogun. However, he met opposition from his usurper Kurozumi Orochi and the pirate Kaidou, who executed him 20 years before the present, in an event known as the Legendary Hour.

From there we can move down into his powers and abilities section which has a ton of information.

To start I’ll tell you how they give a brief overview of his influence and then I’ll be sharing a load of information about his physical abilities:

As daimyo of Kuri, Oden had much power and influence over the region before his death. Being a former member of both the Whitebeard Pirates, as a former division commander, and the Roger Pirates, Oden was a tremendously powerful pirate with great influence on both crews. For several years after Oden’s death, Whitebeard kept Oden’s spot as the 2nd division commander vacant and noted to Portgas D. Ace, the new 2nd division commander, about the importance and significance of his predecessor, calling Ace arrogant for thinking he could take down Kaidou, a man that not even Oden could defeat. In truth, the only reason why Oden lost to Kaidou was that Kurozumi Higurashi distracted him before he could finish Kaidou off.

And as I said, they give A LOT of information for his physical abilities – which is really what we’re going to be utilizing here.

Here’s how they break it down for us:

Oden had immense physical strength since infancy, during which he flung his wet nurse across the room. At age four, he obliterated a bear by hurling a boulder at it. By adulthood, Oden could carry a giant carp that he caught at sea by himself and exerted enough physical power in his swordsmanship to clash with Whitebeard’s Meito Murakumogiri. To match his tremendous strength, Oden also had an astounding tolerance to pain, as he could hold a hot pot with his bare hands. Oden was extremely agile and quick, as even at the age of 2, he could catch rabbits with his bare hands. As an adult, he could travel across the regions of Wano Country in no time and leap across a huge bridge.

Oden had immense stamina, durability, and endurance, as he was able to fight against the criminals and ronin of Kuri joined led by Ashura Doji for an entire night alone with multiple wounds such as arrows sticking out of his body yet still came out victorious. In his fight with Whitebeard, Oden took a point-blank quake punch from Whitebeard straight to the face and was fine afterwards. Additionally, he held onto a chain pulled by the Moby Dick and faced the many dangers and climates of the New World ocean with no protection for three days before eventually letting go, more because he went to rescue Toki than due to exhaustion. When he washed ashore on an island afterward, he received slight treatment from Toki and slept for one night before getting up with exuberant energy, leaving Toki surprised about his tremendous recovery speed. Prior to his prime, when he met Roger and got hit by his Divine Departure (imbued with Busoshoku Haki and coated with Haoshoku Haki), Oden got back up immediately with only minor injuries. In the anime, during his fight against Kaidou, Oden was hit by his Blast Breath not just once, but twice, and powered through them both times.

As a testament to his monstrous strength and endurance, Oden was able to hold up all nine of his retainers, who are all very large, on a thick wooden plank while his lower half was submerged in a large pot of boiling oil for over an hour, which killed an average man in seconds despite getting out, an unprecedented feat that even impressed Kaidou. Even after the temperature had increased to over 700 degrees, Oden could still muster the strength to throw all nine of his retainers far away from the execution site. However, it appeared that Oden reached his limit from this, as Kaidou noted that his body was dead.

To finish up, even though it’s quite clear what we’re working with for this one, we can share information about his swordsmanship.

At least a little bit, to do him justice!

Here’s what they share:

Oden was an immensely skilled and powerful swordsman, having developed his variation of Two Sword Style, which Oden himself called Oden Two Sword Style, literally meaning “Oden Two Sword/Blade Style”), known in the VIZ manga as Oden Two-Sword Style. He had immense prowess and ambidexterity in dual-wielding the legendary swords, Enma and Ame no Habakiri. According to Oden, Oden Two Sword Style is the greatest sword style.

But now it’s time to talk about what we’re actually looking to accomplish.

The goals for our Kokuzi Oden Inspired Workout are:

• Oden’s Immense Strength
• Oden’s Immense Stamina/Endurance
• Oden’s Massive and Muscular Aesthetic

We know we’re building this one out around a behemoth with a massive amount of strength and an enormous amount of muscle mass – so this one won’t be easy.

You can always scale down as needed or even start with our Beginner Behemoth Workout if you need to as well.
