Abstract

God Enel merupakan karakter antagonis utama dalam Arc Skypiea pada manga One Piece yang memiliki citra sebagai sosok dewa. Desain karakternya digambarkan memiliki beberapa kesamaan dengan unsur kebudayaan Indonesia di antaranya anatomi telinga panjang yang memiliki kesamaan ciri dengan tradisi Telingaan Aruu dari suku Dayak, motif pada pakaian yang digunakan menunjukkan kesamaan pola dengan motif batik Parang dari Jawa Tengah, hingga penggambaran salah satu panel ekspresi wajah yang memiliki kemiripan dengan ukiran pada Gua Gajah di Bali. Kajian ini bukan sekadar menemukan kesamaan visual antara karakter Enel dengan unsur kebudayaan yang ada di Indonesia, melainkan juga me maparkan relasi dari representasi unsur kebudayaan tersebut dengan sifat dan karakteristik dari karakter ini. Penulisan kajian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan analisis konten serta pendekatan intertekstualitas. Temuan dalam kajian ini menunjukkan bahwa unsur kebudayaan Indonesia yang diterapkan dalam karakter tidak hanya menunjukkan kesamaan visual, tetapi juga makna dan sejarah kebudayaan yang direpresentasikan berhasil memperkuat citra Enel sebagai dewa dalam memerankan karakter antagonis.

God Enel is the main antagonist in the Skypiea Arc of the One Piece manga, portrayed as a god. His character design is depicted as having several similarities to elements of Indonesian culture, including his long ears, which share characteristics with the Telingaan Aruu tradition of the Dayak tribe; his clothing motifs are similar to the Parang batik motif from Central Java; and the depiction of one of the facial expression panels bears a resemblance to carvings in the Elephant Cave in Bali. This study not only finds visual similarities between Enel's character and elements of Indonesian culture but also explains the relationship between the representation of these cultural elements and the character's nature and characteristics. This study uses a qualitative method with a content analysis approach and an intertextual approach. The findings in this study indicate that the Indonesian cultural elements applied to the character not only show visual similarities, but also the meaning and history of the culture represented successfully strengthen Enel's image as a god in his role as an antagonist.
