Abstract

This study aims to describe and analyze the representation of friendship loyalty in the anime series One Piece within the Enies Lobby Arc. Amidst the shift in social values in the digital era, this anime has become a powerful cultural phenomenon in depicting the values of loyalty and devotion between humans. The main focus of this research is to explore how visual symbols and dialogue in crucial scenes construct a deep meaning of loyalty among the Straw Hat crew during their efforts to rescue Nico Robin from the World Government. The research method used is descriptive qualitative using Roland Barthes' semiotic analysis. The analysis was conducted by dissecting signs through three levels of meaning: denotation, connotation, and myth. The results show that loyalty in this anime is represented through five main aspects of friendship, namely respect, trust, capitalization, social support, and responsiveness. Semiotically, heroic actions such as the burning of the World Government flag are not merely bluffs, but connotative symbols of the willingness to take risks for the sake of a group member (nakama). The research findings also reveal that this representation of loyalty is inseparable from the influence of Japanese collectivism culture, which includes the concepts of Wa (harmony) and Giri (moral obligation). In conclusion, loyalty in One Piece is depicted as an unwavering emotional bond, where collective interests are placed above personal interests, providing a positive moral message for its audience in social life.
