I think it'd be cool if we got the spoiler for two weeks ahead and still had to wait for next week's. The predictions would be amazing.
Chapter 541: "The Likes of Vhich It Has Never Seen" Discussion
-
-
Jimbei's punch was cool, but it just makes me want to see more. I can only imagine how powerful a shichibukai's martial art must be, and as such I want to see the full extent of his abilities.
-
Soooooo…this was an really intense chapter.
But i have 2 questions for you guys:
1.:Will there be ANOTHER chapter this weak?
2.:What does the coverstory say about Vivi...sry i can't speak japanese =(. -
It doesn't say anything about Vivi.
That WAS the chapter for this week. Just came early due to Golden Week related stuffs.
-
Now I most definitely want a Fishman Karate user with the Straw Hats. One who is not Jimbei.
BAHAHAHA. Sooo stubborn.
-
great chapter. all hell breaks loose. everybody causing mahem
-
So either he punched with so much force that he displaced the air making everyone go flying or Fishman Karate allows for pinpoint directing of haki.
All in all, i have to see more before i make up my mind because neither Jimbei for Fishman Karate look cool yet.

Isn't this a new coverstory? -
No .

Chapter was ok, even though it was just beating up cannon fodder. Nonetheless it's great to see Mr. 1 again and some Crocodile action too, although I hope this whole ordeal won't degrade Croc's character too much. (Or Luffy's, lol - all he's been doing lately is run around and yelling his dear bro's name, which is like Enies Lobby all over again except that I don't really give a crap about the outcome.)
I still don't find this arc too interesting though, and given how many chapters we're into it already I doubt I ever will. Two rescue arcs this close to each other is a downright bad idea, especially when it's about Ace whose only redeeming quality is the fact he happens to work for a guy who's a major badass; and that fact combined with the lame-ish character designs of the new people (read: Jimbei, although Sadi and other prison guards that I don't remember the names for are just as lackluster) and lack of emotialness doesn't really get this arc on par with anything Oda's penned since the start of Grand Line, sadly.
At least until we get a glimpse of the events going on outside the prison, namely some Whitebeard, admiral and shichibukai action, and maybe a couple of pages with the rest of the Straw hats.

never read so much wrong in one post
-
I should probably echo the complaints other people have had with the recent FrankyHouse translations. Not translating parts of attacks that can be easily translated is completely unacceptable, at least without a footnote.
I mean really, not translating Luffy's new Rain attack when it has such a clear/direct translation is absolutely retarded. Let alone not even partially translating Jinbei's attack which obviously no english-only reader is going to know what it means.
I'd say I hope the trend doesn't continue on its current path, but this has been a recurring issue for awhile now.
-
I understand people wanting footnotes, but that was their first draft and a speed scan to boot. That aside, I don't see why there is such a fuss. If I invented an attack, and then named it "Choo Choo Pow", I expect it to remain "Choo Choo Pow" in every language, because it's the name I gave the attack. In certain cases, like Jinbei's, the words used for the name were chosen for the type of attack it is, as a small descriptor of what it is used for. But really, does anything change now that we know it is "Straight Roof-Tile Punch"? We could all clearly see it was a punch, so does the name really change our understanding of what happened? Like I said, in these cases, since it is a small descriptor I can see how it could help our understanding of how the attack was named, which is where footnotes come in, but is it really worth this much complaint? Over a speed scan? Over a first draft?
-
-
Might want to elaborate a bit there, lmao.
No, I think the post is pretty self-explanatory.
-
I'm stealing Choo Choo Pow for my story.

Is this English? Can I get a translator?

The next crew member is going to be some skinny frail looking female who uses fishmen karate even though she isn't a fishman.

ah only iva can understand me
ah vell
Wow, so Iva can get through the lack of capitalisation, grammar and spelling mistakes? He's SO AWESOME!. :P
-
No, I think the post is pretty self-explanatory.
I realise not everyone thinks this arc is as utter and complete garbage as an R.L. Stine book but I don't see anything wrong with what I posted.
-
Don't worry. He's upset that there's no Lucci.
-
Eh, my thoughts so far is that at this point it feels like Oda has thrown out any possible moments of drama and intrigue, or any interesting exposition on Luffy and Ace's relationship in favor of ''How can I make things bigger, more over the top, and flashy than ever?'', which may be a damn good crowd pleaser but is starting to fall more towards the ''style'' end of the scale than the ''substance'' one.

im so glad oda writing this manga and not you, because if it was you it would be so damn boring, i would be forced to read bleach instead.
I love how inzuma still has his/her drink at the end. That some high class liquer he must have there.
-
As I said, substance taking a backseat to style is an excellent crowd-pleaser at times. It's best to have a balance between the two, which is what Oda does most of the time. But not this time, I feel.

Who/what made the stone construction thing in the beginning?

you know he can hes vonderful
damn do capital letters matter grammer fair enough
spelling meh (as long as you get vhat im saying)
but capital letters…
i think your just nit picking now -
I know but this is a little out of topic but as i saw bon chan get the adrenaline hormone i remember luffy has it also and that the side effect would take effect after 24 hours, and i believe the side effect would be him sleeping for like 3 to 4 days because of the fatigue and dmg he will have at that moment.
Well my point is i doubt the marineford part of the arc would take less than 24 hours so unless they can get ace back in Impel down i think luffy will pretty much sleep or not do anything once they go there ;O
ps: i know they can go quicker there with the marine ship but still and ace will be executed soon

Luffy was injected with hormones at around 9 am. The execution is set for 3 pm. That means he still has 18 hours after the execution is set to take place. I think he'll be ok.
-
Want im trying to say is that im not sure if hes going to arrive there on time, even that being the logic way of things
-

I'm guessing Inazuma did it with his Choki Choki scissors.
-

I wouldn't worry about that too much, pseronally. Luffy has an unfair advantage over everyone else in that Oda is on his side. I fully expect Luffy to make it there with SEVERAL milliseconds to spare.
-
He better rocket himself into Ace's executioners or I'll be highly disappointed.

Really? I'd put him using his king's haki at higher odds.
-
Brennen, I really think you're hopeless, if you expect a Shichibukai to join Monkey D Luffy at any time in the Manga except at the end of the Grand Line

You are free to think what you want, correct or not, but just for the record I never said or implied that I expect Jinbei to join, let alone a Shichibukai. Like many, I just express my thoughts on the matter and keep it under consideration. _Un_like many, I use the manga as my reasoning for such conclusions or hypotheses, not my opinion or personal taste.
-
I could see Jimbei tagging along until Luffy gets to Fishman Island
and at this point I'll be surprised if Bon doesn't join.
-
Y'know, it kinda bugs me a wee bit that Luffy has seemingly shown more concern and emotion over Mr. 2 in this short span of time than he has for his entire crew at any stage in the story. Heck, we haven't even gotten any ''Man, I hope X is doing okay right now.'' or anything like that.
-
He has total and complete faith in them.
-

I agree. 513 was really the climax. Since then, both style and substance seems to be waning. Amazon Lily had a really weak back story and Impel Down is better but drama still weaker than earlier arcs. At least the style is coming back, building to a style climax. I have great hopes for fishmen isle though, and that should be tied in with this arc.
-
Amazon Lily would've been better if it hadn't shifted gears so abruptly. Rereading it, it feels like Oda's editor had him cut out most of the midsection and skip straight to the conclusion.
-
I have thought Oda's style of pacing seemed seemingly faster since Odz went breakdown on TB. To tell the truth, it could have been slower with more meat, but I guess there could be reasons for that.
-
I think that as long as the rest of the crew is missing, Oda will try to push the pacing.

I honestly don't know what more you were asking from it. It seems to me Mr. Oda tied all the loose ends.
-
I love that One Piece is the only shonen that gets criticism for glossing over things too quickly, while Naruto and Bleach will take three chapters to show someone swinging a sword or transforming or something.

Well there was the bit about Luffy being disappointed that Bon-chan wasn't Zoro…
