Wait…they questioned it? when?
On the page AFTER Chapter 574, titled All in The Family.
At the bottom it says, "Death In The Family?! Is Ace dead?"
No, he's going to survive a magma fist through the abdomen.

They changed the chapter title? "Ace Dies" was too spoilerly for them? Or are you talking about one of those little informational articles that they like to run?
The information article at the end of 574.
Gotcha. I was just curious because they did tweak the title of chapter 513 a bit.
Yeah, but Viz really doesn't believe Ace will get back up after that, right?
It's not that much different from that idiotic "Will they survive?!" from the Japanese editors during the upcoming flashback.
Yeah editors can just be weird like that.
On the page AFTER Chapter 574, titled All in The Family..
You're saying that Chapter 574 is titled "All in the Family"? Because that's what this post suggests.
If they did, then that's a pretty good title change on their part. "Ace Dies" was a little spoilery.

naw naw naw all in the family is the name of a little feature they have after 574 concludes…its called 'the death of portgaz d. ace' which i for some reason find cooler than saying 'portgaz d ace dies'

This .
Yeah, that All in the Family thing was a feature page that I THOUGHT was about the D's for half a second, and my heart exploded, and then I realized it was just relating Luffy and Ace to their blood fathers and their father figures. Oh, and Garp. Which was still kind of neat.
reads article titles at new Viz site
Ring my Bellamy?
Ace in the Hole?
Baby Got Hogback?Seriously? I thought they were better than this. Guess not.
More like "Hole in the Ace" =P
Anyway, I read that article and it was completely stupid. They say Ace and Luffy have a whole bunch in common and then list one thing. Their devil fruit powers, with the headline "He's got fruity powers!"
What the hell is the point of these articles?

Fruity Powers?
Come on! Even Japanese toy commercials aren't this insulting (I'm assuming).

The full article was in the magazine. Granted they only listed two other things there but it was just a way to advertise the Anime's online streaming and DVD sets.
Yeah, but Viz really doesn't believe Ace will get back up after that, right?
Half the people here did.
Putting "WILL ACE SURVIVE?!" at the end of 573 would be fucking funny as shit.
Half the people here did.
law will bring ace back 2 life!!!!!! - AGOG
Can't forget ''Gol D. Ace'', either.
"Phoenix tears Marco" was in the mix too.
The Vivre Card wasn't completely burned up. There was still a microscopic part left, but Oda didn't want us to see that.
Half the people here did.
True, but the people here didn't have access to the next 30 chapters.
I don't have a problem with VIZ. I think they're pretty good…I actually wanna buy volume 44...I like Luffy and Lucci's fight.
True, but the people here didn't have access to the next 30 chapters.
Haha, that's true!
I'm sure the people at viz are well aware of the fact that Ace is really dead. It was just a tagline…they don't really think he's alive any more than the Japanese editors questioned whether or not Luffy and Ace would really survive the flashback.
True, but the people here didn't have access to the next 30 chapters.
But they're playing to their audience, not themselves.
got my Shonen Jump today and despite Viz wondering Ace is still dead…
just three chapters again ending with the appearance of Trafalger Law
I can't wait until January.
as was thinking as I was reading it how nice it is to see the pages as big as they appear in the magazine the volumes are great but Oda's art deserves to be seen this size
Huh, I read the December issue the other day and I remember the scanlation having Marco go ''How could this have happened?'' instead of calling Akainu a bastard. Guess I'll just wait until the anime gets there to see which line was correct.
Blamenco's reaction during the big ''Oh no!'' reaction spread was hilarious.

Which I'd find no worse than Pell's supposed death.
EDIT: Wait… but it's after 574, not before. So that's untimely... Unless it's just the title page.
i was reading volume 1 earlier today for the first time in years and i saw luffy calling higuma a bastard, and the name "zoro" was being used in the morgan part.
why did they make a complete u-turn? i don't understand that. I'd love to have every one piece volume done like number 1.
@MDL:
for the first time in years
You probably have a first or second printing.
Zoro was still Zoro in VIZ's version before 4kids nabbed it.
Didn't the early volumes also have cringeworthy piratespeak though?
not the point there
Didn't the early volumes also have cringeworthy piratespeak though?
It was just the Kuro arc, I think.
i see, thanks. But the first 5 volumes are falling apart because of how long i've had them, so i might have to replace them soon. :(
though yes, i agree that the pirate speak got a little silly lol

I'm so glad I bought the limited edition copy of volume 1 (only special thing about it was that the cover is shiny)
but it's my only copy where Zoro is actually referred to as Zoro and not Zolo.
Anyways I searched through this thread but didn't see much updates about any possible viz publication for the rest of the color walks.
Or does anyone have any info about them,
planned release date?
Or should I just get the Japanese versions?
Or should I just get the Japanese versions?
Buy the Japanese version if you're looking to read the manga and can read Japanese or if you just want to collect them.
Buy the English version if you're looking to read the manga and can't read Japanese.
EDIT: Didn't see where you said color walks. Need more sleep…
Yeah, like Vongola said below me, don't wait for Viz to release 'em.
If you just mean the Color Walks though…I really wouldn't hold out waiting for a Viz release. They're not that likely to be released in English...and the only things you'll be missing are the interviews and little comments he makes. You can find translations online for those.
So when viz finally up dated their shonen jump site I was really excited, but while every single other online manga feature works, the only one that I really want to read doesn't
Bakuman!!!!!!
Does anyone else have this problem? I can read everything else including Toriko, but when try to read Bakuman it shoots me back to the main page.
Are you a subscriber?
You don't need to be a subscriber. Bakuman preview is working for me. The only one you need to be a subscriber for is Nura.
Try this link: http://media.viz.com/flash/omv/index.php?x=bakuman/omv01
I thought that was the deal there - that you had to be a subscriber to see those. Ah, well.
I can't upload an image, but I saw an ad on another site that showed the cover of the February issue. Naruto and Kyuubi are on the cover with green background / SJ logo.
Yeah
I am subscriber.
And you do have to be a subscriber to look at the preview for volume three.
The volume one previews are free for every series, but the previews for volume 3 of Toriko and Bakuman, along with the first volume of Nura, are all subscriber only extras.
It is really aggrivating because I CAN look at Nura and Toriko, but Bakuman is the only one I really want to read and is the only one I can't.
I read the new issue today.
Only translation thing that stood out to be was Whitebeard never being inflicted with a ''coward's wound'' (quotations included).
All the instrumental panels that had Akainu missing blood are fixed.
San Juan Wolf, Catarina Devon, Vasco Shot, and Avalo Pizzaro for those wanting a refresher. Shiryu is still Shiryu.
Devon saying "You've all been very bad boys." + = blargh.
Devon saying "You've all been very bad boys." + = blargh.
Then she has done her magic.
I wonder if mine will come in today …
So for Christmas I got a huge stack of all the miscellaneous ones I had missed out, up to Volume 52. It feels so awesome to have these later volumes in my hands. Now to get round to reading them.

Awesome!
I'm gonna be trying to save up my own money to get volumes 45+.
I got Volumes 5 - 7 and 49 for X-mas. Now I officially own Volumes 1 - 7, 9, and 48 - 49.
Does anyone know where I can find back issues of shonen jump? Specifically December 2010's issue.
if you have a local manga shop sometimes they keep back issues, I know mine does anyway
