BIG MOM IS NOT EVIL Theory

After this week chapter I believe Big Mom may be one of One Piece’s examples of Mental Illness. There are many solid cases of Big Mom holding Caramels and how Big Mom is angry at Mother Carmel. However, if we look at Big Mom through the lens of psychology she exhibits many different examples of mental illness. Her Hommies, even her ships seems to hold onto the aspect of developmental struggles as they idolize her childhood and perhaps her idolization of the world when she was a child.

Surrounding herself with friends and hommies exhibits her need for control. As each is truly an extension of herself and may show her desire to never be hurt by her loved ones. This demonstrates social anxieties and could manifest from her fear of abandonment. She may even show signs of dissociative disorder in her more aggressive states exhibiting two major personalities: one more childlike and care free and one more angry violent e see.Big Mom seems to be two very different people at the drop of a hat and this is not uncommon for those of us with these traits. While it is overblown with Big Mom she does exhibit these behaviors widely. Another trait Big Mom shares is depression and even denial. As she seems to be distant, absent minded, and overly nonchalant not caring what happens to her closest friends due to her depressive state is all very basic of depression. She even seems to exhibit denial as we see when she devours her family but her mind cannot accept it. Perhaps her mind cannot allow her to notice the screams and blocked it out as a coping mechanisms. Most obviously Big Mom has an eating disorder one she cannot control, she hurts those around her and never seems to be able to stop eating at times to the point of obsessively binging. She could be continued to be psychoanalyzed but she could quite possibly have a very shattered psyche that translates to aggressive and hostile behavior while not meaning she is truly evil. Theory by Rhodehawk
