In Blox Fruits, not every challenge is about mastering weapons, Fruits, or PvP. A Metadrip contest put eleven participants under a very different rule: stand out solely through their avatar’s style. There was no set theme and no build to optimize; contestants simply had to show up in an outfit capable of drawing attention.
The format was straightforward. Three finalists had to be selected from the participants before a vote named the overall winner. The prize allowed the winner to choose any item from the shop. Zoro ultimately took first place and selected a Permanent Dragon Fruit, listed at 2,600 Robux.
A contest where style matters more than references
The judges quickly established their guideline: recreating an anime character was not enough to win. One participant had chosen to reproduce Luffy, with his straw hat and a face reminiscent of the One Piece hero. The outfit also included ink, an item considered difficult to obtain. Even so, the look was seen as too close to a simple recreation and not original enough.
This reasoning shaped the entire selection process. References to Luffy, Katakuri, Rengoku, or Chopper could provide a visual idea, but piling together unrelated elements risked undermining the overall coherence. That is exactly what happened to several contestants: individual accessories were sometimes interesting, yet they did not form a convincing silhouette once combined.
In a game so heavily influenced by One Piece, avatars can naturally evoke the characters and visual codes of the series. For another way to step into the manga’s world, players can also become Luffy in Blox Fruits and save Ace before Gear 5 through a challenge built entirely around his journey.
The avatars that stood out during selection
The eleven outfits took very different directions. Alicia chose a rabbit look combining ears, a hat, glasses, kawaii blush, a necklace, and a dress. However, the cape was seen as one addition too many, as the rest of the composition already had a clear visual identity.
Kraken entered with a shark-inspired avatar featuring a fin and a Haki-charged stance. The outfit was considered very simple, but clear and effective. That restraint allowed him to go far in the competition.
RIP Minou, by contrast, relied on a very dense combination: ink, red and blue Hakis, red eyes, a straw hat, a Katakuri-inspired scarf, a blue head, and a shark fin. The outfit certainly looked spectacular, but it piled up too many references to maintain a distinct aesthetic direction.
Another participant chose a black-and-white outfit with a mask, horns, and matching hair. The color theme was respected, but the chosen weapon was barely visible. A white, glowing, and immediately recognizable weapon would have complemented that kind of silhouette more effectively.
The Boss Player took the opposite approach: a deliberately unconventional outfit featuring a Chopper-like hat, glowing gloves, a scythe, and a hamster face. The look sparked reactions, which worked in its favor in a competition where boldness also mattered.
Why some contestants were eliminated
The first elimination was MK Yanis, whose Luffy-inspired avatar was not considered personal enough. Mathieu then left the contest with a suit-and-tie outfit, two swords, glasses, and rabbit ears. His look was simple, but the overall result was not convincing enough.
Sushi finished in ninth place. His avatar combined blue hair, glasses, a scarf, elements reminiscent of Rengoku and Katakuri, and several weapons. The main criticism concerned the overly busy mix, which prevented the look from conveying a clear identity.
Elli, Black and Zo, and RIP Minou were then eliminated before the top five. Black and Zo wore a dark outfit with a frightening face, horns, a cape, and a distinctive hairstyle. RIP Minou, despite the accumulation of effects and references, was eliminated because of the outfit’s lack of visual coherence.
Alicia finished fifth, followed by Ripenma in fourth place. Ripenma had dared to combine pink and blue, with a flower necklace, wings, a Hawaiian pattern, and a star backpack. It was a distinctive proposal, but its run ended just short of the podium.
Zoro, Kraken, and The Boss Player: the final podium
The last three contestants were Zoro, Kraken, and The Boss Player. The final result no longer depended on the initial selection: the vote had to decide between the three finalist avatars.
The Boss Player finished third. His highly unconventional outfit did not leave anyone indifferent, and his willingness to take risks was praised. Kraken claimed second place with a more restrained proposal built around a simple but effective shark aesthetic.
Zoro was ultimately elected the contest winner. His avatar combined a particularly striking animated face, a black-and-white aesthetic, wings, coordinated hair, and a sword. The outfit drew its strength from the coherence between those elements: instead of multiplying references, it relied on a clear demonic identity.
The Permanent Dragon Fruit as the reward
By winning the vote, Zoro was free to choose his reward from the shop. He selected the Permanent Dragon Fruit, listed at 2,600 Robux. The reward was awarded after confirmation of his account, identified as Yeko77.
Dragon is among the Fruits that generate the most anticipation in Blox Fruits, particularly because of its rework. The game had also teased another mythical Fruit alongside that rework, although the clues did not make it possible to identify it with certainty at the time. The various leads are covered in our article about the mysterious mythical Fruit teased alongside the Dragon rework.
The permanent reward is especially notable in a contest based on appearance, as it did not reward level, weapon mastery, or success in combat. Here, originality, the clarity of the look, and the ability to create a memorable silhouette made the difference.
This was not the first style contest in Blox Fruits to offer a permanent Fruit: another Metadrip event had already allowed Master to choose the Permanent Leopard Fruit after a victory built on the style, originality, and coherence of his avatar.
