About

Egg McBig is a fan-made character within the One Piece fandom. Designed as a parody of series creator Eiichiro Oda’s unique character designs that often feature unconventional body proportions, tragic backstories and connections to other notable characters, Egg McBig is depicted as a round, egg-shaped man who possesses no arms (on account of eating the "No-Arm No-Arm Fruit" or "No-Arm No Mi Fruit," a parody of the series' magic Devil Fruit that gifts various powers to characters).

The character is frequently compared to the Glup Shitto meme from the Star Wars fandom, representing an "obscure background character" that fans treat with exaggerated reverence. Perhaps more accurately, the character has also been referred to as "the Graggle Simpson of One Piece."

Origin

The Egg McBig character was first invented by Redditor Zodiatron on March 25th, 2026, which was posted to the /r/OnePiece^[1] subreddit. Zodiatron’s original design featured a hairy, egg-shaped man in overalls with curly green hair, a scar over his right eye and no arms. This iteration of the character also featured a swirly green tattoo on the left side of his body.

Zodiatron's Reddit post introducing the character garnered over 7,000 upvotes and 360 comments in five days.
