Arc-by-arc updates

Impel Down — commands the Blugori on Level 4 (Ch. 542)

• Commands the Blugori against Luffy’s escape party on Level 4: “Blugori!! Get that freak with the giant head!” / “Commander Saldeath, we’re counting on you!” (p. 13). The Blugori are taken out “with one shot.”

Impel Down — sent to Level 4 against the breakout (Ch. 541)

• Summoned by Hannyabal to lead his subordinates to Level 4 against the breakout (p. 4).

Impel Down (Ch. 532) — named, not shown

• Named only (not depicted): “Where’s Saldeath?!” — he has gone to suppress Buggy’s Level-2 riot because “his Blugori are ineffective against Straw Hat and Mr. 2” (p. 5).

• Debut. On the searing Level 3 (“Starvation Hell”), Saldeath snares the “Prison Break Alliance” — Luffy, Buggy and Mr. 3 — in a sea-prism-stone-iron net and orders sea-prism cuffs, declaring the prison an “undersea escape-proof” trap (pp. 11-12).
• Names himself “Captain of the Guard, Commander of the Bluggori” and commands the Bluggori beast-jailers; the freed Sphinx tears the net open before he can hold the group (pp. 12-14).
• References the four roaming jailer beasts that patrol Level 4 and his dread of having to see “the warden” (Magellan, p. 12).

Notes

• Etymology : JP サルデス (Sarudesu) is a pun on saru desu (猿です, “I’m a monkey”) + the English word death — the monkey layer mirrors his command of the Blugori (blue gorillas). See etymology: frontmatter. (Earlier “salt + death” guess was wrong.) Sources: onepiecepodcast.com etymology compilation; onepiece.fandom.com/wiki/Saldeath.
• race: left blank — small masked figure; not human-confirmed on-page as of 0530.
