Vinsmoke Ichiji, also known as “Sparking Red”, is the eldest son and second child of the Vinsmoke Family, making him the younger brother of Vinsmoke Reiju as well as the older quadruplet brother of Vinsmoke Niji, Vinsmoke Sanji, and Vinsmoke Yonji. He is a prince of the Germa Kingdom and a commander in its military arm, Germa 66.

Along with the rest of his siblings, Ichiji was enhanced with genetic modifications that give him tremendous superhuman abilities. When Ichiji was a child, Judge’s aide stated that his strength and agility was on the level of an adult man.

Ichiji possesses an ability that has given him the name Sparking Red. He can release blasts of potent light energy from his hands which pierce through his opponents.

He can also unleash this energy when he punches to deal explosive blows that are powerful enough to break Perospero’s “Candy Wall”, and to make the “special Paramecia” type Mochi Mochi no Mi user Charlotte Katakuri split in half.

Ichiji has also shown to have a strong will, as he was able to withstand a burst of Big Mom’s Haoshoku Haki and remain conscious from her loud scream.
