Hit 200 episodes of the same show and still don't know the main character's name

I was scrolling through my Netflix history yesterday and saw I've watched 204 episodes of this one anime, One Piece. That's like 80 hours of my life gone and I honestly can't tell you the main guy's full name. I call him Straw Hat Luffy because that's what my buddy calls him. I started watching during a slow week at work back in March and now it's just on in the background while I cook dinner or fold laundry. The weird part is I got invested in the side characters more than the plot. There's this skeleton musician named Brook who makes jokes about having no skin and it got me through a rough Monday. Has anyone else accidentally binge a show for months and then realize you missed half the details because you were multitasking?

lmao the skeleton musician is actually the best part, I legit watched like 50 episodes just hoping he'd show up again. I do the same thing where I'll have shows on in the background during chores and then later I'm like wait who is this person and why do they have a fruit hat.

The fruit hat thing though, that's the kind of detail you can't unsee once you notice it.
