Snow sculptures (雪像,setsuzō?) are sculptures formed from snow. A common type of snow sculpture is a snowman (雪だるま,yukidaruma?). Certain snow sculptures in the series have been given names and other attributes.
Snowman-san (雪だるさん,Yukidaru-san?, English versions: "Mr. Snowman") was a snowman created by Monkey D. Luffy aboard the Going Merry on the voyage to Whisky Peak. It had a body consisting of two spheres, sticks acting as its arms and a nose, a cape, and a barrel on its head. It was destroyed by Usopp in retaliation for Luffy ruining his snow sculpture.[5] Its birthday was February 18.[1]
Techniques[]
Yukidaru Punch (雪だるパンチ,Yukidaru Panchi?, literally "Snowman Punch"): A technique where Luffy hits one of the sticks acting as the snowman's arms, causing it to fly out and "punch" a target. It was first used to destroy the Snow Queen's head. It is known as Snowman Punch in the VIZ manga, but unnamed in the Funimation dub.[5]
Snow Queen[]
The Snow Queen (スノウクイーン,Sunō Kuīn?) was a snow sculpture of a woman created by Usopp at the same time Luffy created Snowman-san. The woman was depicted sitting on a chair, dressed in a knee-length robe, and bore resemblance to Kaya. The sculpture's head was destroyed by Snowman-san's "Yukidaru Punch".[5] Its birthday was February 18.[2]
Hyper Snowman-san[]
Hyper Snowman-san (ハイパー雪だるさん,Haipā Yukidaru-san?, English versions: "Super Snowman") was a much larger version of Snowman-san created by Luffy in the town of Bighorn on Drum Island. It was destroyed by Sanji who was angry that Luffy and Usopp were playing around at a critical time.[6]
Shirora[]
Shirora (��ロラー,Shirorā?) was a snow monster created by Usopp. It resembled a dinosaur standing on two legs and was comparable in size to Luffy's Hyper Snowman-san. It was also destroyed by Sanji.[6]
Trivia[]
Luffy's "Riceman-san".
An anime-original scene in Episode 96 calls back to these sculptures, with Luffy and Usopp building new "snowmen" out of rice (and being once again punished by Sanji).
