Profile
PUNK-01, “the Good” — the lead, most-trusted Vegapunk satellite, the satellite-body that embodies goodness. Collectively (with the other five satellites and the Stella main body) he is Dr. Vegapunk. First appears at Egghead in Ch. 1062.
Arc-by-arc updates
Egghead — the Void Fortnight (Ch. 1123) — shown (flashback)
- Detects the forged power-plant numbers and the Seraphim’s rising energy draw; concludes “someone has stolen some of the Mother Flame” (p.6) and orders the satellites onto “stealth mode” so the culprit won’t know (p.7). Restates the WG’s Void-Century kill-policy — “anyone who learns of the Void Century will be eliminated” (p.10). See Void Century and Ancient Kingdom.
Egghead — recording-playback cameo (Ch. 1112) — recorded footage, not present-day
- Appears in the message-recording playback with the Stella Vegapunk (“That’s mean, Shaka. You knew that already”; “Vega Coffee”) — the past footage of the broadcast’s making, not a present-day appearance.
- See Vegapunk Final Message and Sinking World.
Egghead — recording cameo (Ch. 1109) — recorded footage, not present-day
- Appears in Vegapunk’s pre-recorded worldwide broadcast (past footage), advising the Stella on the rollout: the audience “will need to be adequately prepared to hear it,” and suggesting an interval of one hour before the message plays — a wait Vegapunk rejects as too long, setting it to ten minutes instead (pp. 2–4). A past recording, NOT a present appearance. See Vegapunk Final Message and Sinking World.
Egghead — finds the Stella, then is shot (Ch. 1077)
- Descends to the B1 old Devil-Fruit Research Lab seeking the original Vegapunk (“Stella”); reassures the caged captives, and locates Stella — then is shot by an unseen assailant at the cliffhanger (pp. 8, 16-17). Wears a full helmet and a collar marked “01” (p. 16).
Egghead — the camera feeds die one by one (Ch. 1075)
- In the command room over comms — “Edison?! This is Shaka!! Come in!!” — tracking the lab’s camera feeds as they go dark “one by one”; there is an intruder inside the Labophase (pp. 5-6). Later the satellites’ comms drop entirely (“Come in, Shaka Shaka!!”, p. 12). See The Egghead Seraphim Obey A Hidden Command Authority.
Egghead — the search for the missing Stella (Ch. 1074)
- On the comms coordinating the lab-wide search for the missing Stella; receives Pythagoras’s report (pp. 10-11).
Egghead — the Seraphim authority deadlock; readies the escape (Ch. 1073)
- Reveals he “cannot override the orders Lucci gave the Seraphim — Lucci and I are on the same authority level” (p. 5) — establishing that the satellites share Seraphim-command authority with CP0, so the units can only be halted once Lucci is incapacitated.
- Coordinates the escape with Edison and thanks the mole Stussy after she takes Lucci and Kaku down (pp. 5-9).
Egghead — restores the Frontier Dome, too late (Ch. 1071)
- Restores Egghead’s Frontier Dome after the unexplained shutdown — “The Frontier Dome has been restored… Shaka” — but too late: CP0 is already inside (p. 13). See Egghead Frontier Dome Deactivated By An Unseen Hand.
Egghead — the Nika reveal & the “fruits of hope” theory (Ch. 1069)
- The “warrior in white” satellite delivers the chapter’s core lore for the collective Vegapunk: there is no “Gum-Gum Fruit” — Luffy’s power is the Sun God Nika’s Mythical Zoan, a name erased from history that “exists as long as people wish for him”; and Vegapunk’s “fruits of hope” theory — devil fruits are embodied wishes for human evolution, “loathed by the sea” as punishment (“this is only my theory,” pp. 7-11). See Nature of Devil Fruits, Vegapunk Theorizes Devil Fruits Are Embodied Wishes For Human Evolution.
- Leverages the Pacifista Authority Hierarchy (Pacifista) to command the Seraphim against the outranked CP-0 (who hold only Authority Chips); pressures Sentomaru to help; arranges to extract the Straw Hats via the Vacuum Rocket inside the Frontier Dome.
- The Stella/satellite puzzle is voiced on-page: “Whoa, it’s the real Vegapunk!! But he was down there just seconds ago!!”
Egghead — mobilizes the defense (Ch. 1068)
Egghead — refuses the World Government at the gate (Ch. 1067)
Egghead — “the tech is the past” (Ch. 1065)
- Distrusts the pirates: traps the Straw Hats with the lab’s magnetic Dom shoes (p. 17). Delivers the chapter’s reveal that Egghead’s “super-future” tech is in fact the past — “a kingdom just as highly advanced as this… actually existed 900 years ago,” and “Egghead wasn’t the only one” — then unveils a buried colossal ancient iron robot in the scrap heap (pp. 18-19). Couples Vegapunk’s science to the Ancient Kingdom. See Egghead Tech Is The Past — An Advanced Kingdom Existed 900 Years Ago.
Egghead — first appearance (Ch. 1062)
- Calm and principled; overrides Lilith’s plundering of the Straw Hats and takes a personal interest in the newly-minted Emperor’s crew — “I happen to have an interest in that crew!” — ordering them brought in rather than sunk (pp. 5-7).
- Caption reveal (p. 7): “PUNK-01 Dr. Vegapunk ‘Shaka the Good’.” Named again in the CP0 six-satellite briefing chart (p. 16).
