JAKARTA - There is something different about the appearance of the vice presidential candidate (cawapres) number 2, Gibran Rakabuming Raka. In the fourth debate which was held on January 21 night. This time, Gibran made netizens excited wearing clothes with the addition of the anime characters One Piece and Naruto.

The mode observer from Indonesia Fashion Chamber Lisa Fitria, as reported by ANTARA, Monday, January 22, saw that the logos were not just logos, but contained certain messages.

A typical mini-pin of strawtop pirates or familiarly called the mugiwara pirate from "One Piece" opened Gibran's appearance in the debate and in the next segments he appeared in a jacket bearing the Uzumaki clan logo which is the Naruto clan in the anime "Naruto".

The Uzumaki clan logo can show several things, one of which is a symbol of Gibran's desire to continue President Joko Widodo's programs, such as the character of Boruto, Naruto's son, who wants to continue his father's struggle.

In addition, Gibran is known to like Naruto and maybe it is also behind him to put the Uzumaki clan logo on his jacket.

"Naruto is often underestimated, dwarfed, however, capable of being a leader. Maybe he (Gibran) wants to prove that those who underestimate him will know that Gibran has the ability to become vice president," said Lisa.

Meanwhile, the strawtop pirate pin from "One Piece" is called Lisa the way Gibran emphasizes the message about the downstream program, one of which is maritime.

In "One Piece" the main character named Luffy aspires to become the King of Marine Hijackers who can control the ocean. Gibran also wanted to convey a similar message that in his leadership Indonesia's maritime team will be protected by his sovereignty.

"Why does he use a pirate pin? That may mean our maritime will be guarded. So whoever hits his territory may be fought," said Lisa.

Lisa also assessed that the use of logos that are closely related to the 90s generation and generation Z is also Gibran's way of communicating and attracting young voters.

"Indeed, if you look at the 90s generation, eye catching (attract attention), it is still coming in to represent the communication of the younger generation. The overall concept and appearance are the same, but with the pin, people are highlighting and their supporters are also looking at it," said Lisa.

Gibran is still performing in his mainstay style, namely the casual appearance of a sky blue shirt and black pants complete with his sneakers.

In previous debates, the shirt with the sky blue color chosen by presidential and vice presidential candidates number 2 Prabowo Subianto and Gibran was considered to strengthen the meaning of loyalty, openness, and freedom in accordance with the political message they wanted to carry.

In addition, casual and simple styles are also the mainstay style of today's young generation.

The Indonesian KPU has determined three pairs of presidential and vice presidential candidates participating in the 2024 presidential election, namely Anies Baswedan-Muhaimin Iskandar with serial number 1, Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka number 2, and Ganjar Pranowo-Mahfud MD number 3.
