Big Mom, whose full name is Charlotte Linlin, was one of the four emperors in the manga One Piece. She is the captain of the Big Mom Pirates and one of the four emperors ruling the New World, as the only female member. She is also the matriarch of the very large Charlotte family, whose many children make up the infrastructure of her crew. But is she still alive? Big Mom lost to Eustass Kid and Trafalgar Law and fell into a magma chamber with Kaidou, which is why people are wondering if she is really dead or not. In this article, we will reveal to you if Big Mom is really dead.

For now, Big Mom's fate remains unknown. We know that she was defeated and fell into Wano's magma chamber with Kaidou, seemingly dying from the fall. Still, Big Mom is a very resilient character and has said that this isn't the last we'll see of her, and with Oda planning an all-out war for One Piece, she could return in the future.

The rest of this article will give you a detailed look at Big Mom's fate during the final moments of the Wano Country Arc. You already know what happened and how it happened, so we'll just give you the details so you have the full context. Be careful, though, because the article will contain many spoilers for the One Piece manga.

Is Big Mom really dead in One Piece?

Officially, Big Mom's status in One Piece is unknown. Namely, after her defeat by Kid and Law, Big Mom was first caught in a large explosion, which did not kill her, and then fell into the magma chamber of Wano Country with Kaido. From that point on, her fate is unknown. The protagonists consider her and Kaido dead, but no one has seen a body, and Oda has not confirmed Big Mom's death in any way.

We know there's a rule in manga and anime that if you don't see a character die on screen (or on the page), they probably aren't dead. This is a long-standing rule in the world of anime and manga, so it might give us some insight into Big Mom's fate. In fact, we've never seen her die, only fall. Furthermore, she swore revenge on Kid and Law. Knowing how strong she is, she might well return in the future, but for now, we're not sure.

What happened to Big Mom in One Piece?

In this section, we'll reveal what happened to Big Mom in the final moments of the Wano Country Arc. Big Mom punches Kidd, sending him flying, breaking through the wall, and destroying her metal golem. Law then uses Awakening, creating a small coin that he uses to cover his sword to pierce the empress's body, then damaging her internal organs with an electric shock.

This causes blood and smoke to flow from her mouth, and she glares at him angrily, but at that moment, Kidd takes the opportunity to magnetize her: all the metal objects around them pile up on her. Enraged, Big Mom gets up and steals the lives of the Hundred Beast Pirates present to animate the metal objects that overwhelmed her, then swallows a year of her own life to empower herself, emphasizing that she cannot rely solely on these weak souls.

In doing so, she greatly increases her size and declares that she has not taken this much damage in decades and acknowledges the worth of her opponents, but is ready to show them her potential. After exhausting them, Big Mom continues to rage against Law and Kidd, and hearing their crews beg for mercy, she taunts them by claiming that they no longer have any dignity.

When their subordinates try to save them, she shouts for silence because it's a battlefield and turns to Hera to electrocute them. She then points out that she hasn't heard Kaido's victory cry yet and wonders if she's still fighting Luffy, so she orders her close friend to take her to her rooftop to finish it off.

She becomes enraged, however, when Law stabs her again, claiming to know that she suffered from the blow he dealt her earlier. Big Mom yells at her to let her go, but at that moment, her opponent injures her from within, causing her to bleed and fall to the ground. The iron friends begin to attack the opponent, but Kidd drags them away along with all the other nearby metal objects and, while Linlin is surprised that he is still standing, realizing that the two want his head at all costs, sees him create a massive bull-like golem that lunges at her.

The two pirate captains then declare that they will not allow him to reach the rooftop even at the cost of death. As the opponents argue, Linlin gets up despite numerous injuries, including a broken right arm, and points out that the one he suffered was a shockwave that destroys them from the inside out, stating that he must have broken ribs and that Law's techniques are dangerous.

Back in force, she gathers Napoleon, Hera, and Prometheus into a sword covered in flames and lightning and uses it to cut down Kidd's metal bull, which she claims is useless because it's just a pile of scrap metal. She laughs, saying that they're the useless ones, that they'll have to give up on their respective dreams.

She asks if they have any idea how many pirates she's sent to the depths, pointing out that she's controlled the seas for decades, ever since they were babies. Meanwhile, Kidd jumps toward Big Mom, assigns her a magnetic pole, and places the opposite one on one of her walls: the woman remains attached to it, and when Kidd takes the opportunity to charge her with his metal bull, he turns to use her as a shield.

The Empress summons a female figure made of flames and lightning from her sword to attack her enemies. Meanwhile, Law carries a tower above her and uses it to knock her down, then pierces her chest with his sword. Linlin curses him, realizing she wants to use a similar attack, and repeatedly hits him with her Armament Haki-covered fists. However, Law doesn't let go of the sword and continues to stretch it further and further; it then releases a shockwave that severely injures her.

Despite the massive damage, Big Mom unleashes her elemental servant against Law, who calls for Kidd's intervention: he then notices that the latter has assembled a gigantic electromagnetic cannon, so he encourages him to get underneath it and asks him if he thinks he can tear it down. The powerful energy beam generated by the weapon then hits her completely.

As she endures Kidd's continued attack, Big Mom tells her opponents that she will give them a choice of fate: give her fifty years of life or become her slaves. She then begins to steal the terrified present's life energy, however, Law envelops her in a chamber that cancels out all the noise she makes, preventing her from using her technique.

Kidd then hits her again with his electromagnetic cannon, knocking her to the ground. She asks her friends for help, wondering what they are doing, but this request goes unheard due to the soundproof barrier created by the law. Arriving at the armory, she realizes that everything she touches makes no sound, where she destroys one of the powder kegs in an attempt to hold on to it: the explosion engulfs it and destroys the lower part of Onigashima, from which she falls.

She then criticizes Roger for starting the new era, arguing that he didn't pay the consequences since his time was already over, while they had to face the young pirates eager to stand out. She points out that the Pirate King could have at least told them what One Piece was, wondering if it really exists and where it is. She then wonders if this country is hiding some of the answers she seeks, expressing frustration.

She concludes that she will never forgive Law and Kidd, emphasizing that it is not enough to kill her. She then plunges into the gigantic crater previously opened by Law, where she is defeated by the effect of a gigantic explosion and ends up in the magma chamber below, becoming involved in the eruption of the underwater volcano. The surviving CP0 agent informs the Stars of Wisdom of Big Mom and Kaido's defeat, who are thus stripped of the title of emperor and replaced.
