Chapter 390 "Return Fire" Discussion
-
As I said in chapter 389 thread:
I think they all come at once, big two-page picture where everyone arrives.
Maybe a little cliche, but damn I sure loved (and still love) that moment! The second best was arrival of Sogeking, almost laughed my ass off :D. It's pretty rare thing for me to do, but I just always laugh when I see the page where Sogeking flies. I'll be waiting translation, tough for this chapter it isn't necessary.
By the way, am I just blind, but why haven't I realized Sogeking's weapon ? It will be interesting to see what Sogeking is capable to do with it. At least it looks cool and it seems that every crewmember is getting improvement in their fighting skills / equipment. Luffy got his gear 2, Sogeking's new weapon, Nami's perfect climatact, what else ? Does that improvement what Zoro realized while fighting mr. 1 count as an improvement I listed earlier ? Sanji might learn some of those rokushiki skills, at least those that are used with feet.
Yup, lots of things to think of. Excellent chapter, enjoyement 100%.

Oda does each fight in a different way. Alabastia had one-on-one matchups, with one two-on-two battle, Skypiea was an all-out brawl against anyone who was not a Strawhat, and now…we have a Battle Royal! Good fun.

I think whatever e1n's gf put down on spoiler thread is most of the translation…

HOLY SHIT!
The asswhoppin is about to begin!

For whoever can't wait for ooshi's translation:
http://ap.animemedia.org/showpost.php?p=168164&postcount=73that was awesomely accurate up until the bits i really wanted to read :(
-
Seconded on SogeKing's entrance. Pure gold…
-
zoro has new techniques, I saw he can bend his swords
-
Anybody noticed Blueno is gone from the picture? Now, I am thinking either he was blown away by By Zoro's Rising Dragon move (direct hit if we see where he fell fighting with Luffy) or he just simply disappeared…Feel kinda sorry for him.
Awesome chapter...now some translation, that'd make my day :)
In page 14 there is a black figure being thrown away by zoro's tatsumaki.I'm betting that's Blueno since the juror isn't wearing that many cothes.
-
so what do you all suppose robin's reaction is? it'd be helpful to know what's being said to her, so it's hard to tell whether she's on the verge of crying 'cuz she's just so happy or 'cuz she wants to tell them all to eff off once and for all and let her die. i'm really leaning more towards the latter unfortunately. angsty robin can't go that quickly, even AFTER seeing sogeking fly through the air to her rescue.
and anyone think luffy picked up his nose-picking from iceburg? i can't remember him ever picking his nose, which is kinda surprising for him.
-
done

I have this funny feeling that when everything is over, since there won't be any "guilty jurors" to condemn Robin, there will be a first ever Innocent verdict.
-
you have a couple pages the wrong way round ooshi
namely the giants spread and the frog getting beat up

just finished reading it, thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu ooshi :)

It's not only you. There are a limited number of connections allowed and it looks like in heavy traffic this number is approached and sometimes reached. Still, the forum is staying up, which is an improvement ^_^

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!! DID ANYONE FREAKING NOTICE ZORO WENT OUT ONE DOOR AND CAME IN ANOTHER NEXT TO IT!!! I think I just pissed myself laughing!!!!
-
tnx ooshi. here have a beer. nahds ooshi an e-beer
-

I don't get this. He did Tatsu Maki. But like two chapters ago the agents said they saw his swords twisting too. What exactly do you mean "bending"?
-
Thanks for the trans ooshi. :adore:
@omae:

Yeah that was completely awesome. This bad sense of direction jokes always crack me up. And the best thing is that he was there before Sanji who actually had the lead. :laugh:

obviously it's better to get lost and then make yourslef a shorcut:laugh: than actually know where's going XD

Luffy defenitely picked his nose at least once. On the Baratie, he flicked a booger into Zoro's drink. Hilarity ensues
Also, Omae, yes, i caught that Zoro door gag just before you mentioned it on a second read through. A really funny gag if you catch it
-
Great Chapter, had a bit of everything.
Can't wait to see how it all turns out…
-

connections allowed and it looks like in heavy traffic this number is
approached and sometimes reached. Still, the forum is staying up, which
is an improvement ^_^Ah okay. We did good job trying to fix, didn't we? Changing connection,
changing email, put downloads on main site, etc, etc, etc… :D
I love what Nami said: Let's go Chopper! I mean, GO, CHOPPER! XD -
Since everyone else posted theirs..
My version of the spread: http://img440.imageshack.us/img440/7626/spread1ow.png ;D
-
Every member of the straw hat crew showed part of their true characteristics today, which just made it one of the great chapters….
Luffy: Typical serious talks while still just being so Luffyish! (picking nose)
Zoro: Getting lost and then just taking the easy option
Sanji: Still fighting with Zoro and still in love with Robin
Nami: Letting the others do the work (Let's go chopper, I mean Go, Chopper!)
Sogeking: Acting brave but then starts crying when he's launched into the air
Chopper: er...(it'll come)Last Spread: So Badass I nearly wet myself in pure joyness!
-
I don't know what to say except this:thank you Oda you just created super Sogeking
-
Now that I'm calm….
This was the coolest chapter in a while. Action packed, and A FUCKING AWESOME ending, with a mirror image of the last chapter, as everyone gathered on the roof.
And don't forget Sogeking in flight.
HAHAHAHAHA!!!!! DID ANYONE FREAKING NOTICE ZORO WENT OUT ONE DOOR AND CAME IN ANOTHER NEXT TO IT!!! I think I just pissed myself laughing!!!!
I think I am observant, and then I miss this. Ah well, something to improve on.
-
I don't think Sogeking's mask is going to hold up much longer. In the last page or two they show a big crack on it, and it is being held together with what looks like tape.
-
Neophos, great spread! i was gonna post one of mine but it`s nothing compared to yours ^^
i might even colour it later

@Mog:
Dear sweet freaking lord.
Greatest chapter ever (Mid-fangasm). I mean, seriously, really just one thing actually happened, but it was so damned awesome it made my day. And my day was already awesome, so we'd get a double ''made'' making this day a fantastic package of pure rocking ass-kicking awesomeness.
Thank you for living, Master Oda.
faints
QFT I couldn't have said it better myself. The last spread was awesome, totally sweet. Luffy's simplemindedness is just hilarious, as well as Zoro's (dis)orientation skills. But he's resourceful, I'll give him that.
@Cyclops:
"The shortest way between two distances… shoots lasers and destroys a hill ...is a straight line."
And to comment the spread…
LOL Chopper really tries hard to put on his angry face. And that biker jacket is way to small for him.
Poor Usopp… The Superman stunt really freaked him out, and that bump on his head doesn't look good either.
"the eyes of the hawk…" Heh, Kaku, or whoever fights him should better get ready for some serious assraping. Damn, he'll make Mihawk proud.
Special perverts corner

And OMFG, it's the match of the century: Hina vs Mr. 2!!!

That tape must have come from his stupendous landing xD cuz it wasn't on page 11
He also had a bump on his head so it appears he landed on his face xD. Maybe the tape is temporary, and it's like a wound and will go away when he starts fighting
Soge King is my hero

That's a great observation!!!

Hmm I never noticed Soge's mask had started to crack, it'll probably break completely during the fight.
-
Notice how Chopper is in the same pose as Luffy…
I wonder if he always mimics Luffy like that.
-
Crossing your arms is pretty normal….
@omae:
That's a great observation!!!
I've been thinking about that since Blueno kicked him. I guess it'll break off in a dramatic scene or something…
I was also thinking that everyone is packed except Chopper and Sanji. I worry a little more about Sanji because he'll almost definitely get a top tier opponent.
-
The mask breaking could be used as great symbolism for Usopp being accepted back into the crew.
So unless its not obvious, Usopp will probably rejoin.I still think Robin isn't going too though…I mean they'll probably beat CP9 and Spandam......but I think she'll "vanish" in the aftermath. Especially if a Buster Call comes....
-

Yea, Chopper doesn't have anything to hold. Even Sanji is lighting one up.
Standing their with an angry look on your face and nothing more just isn't cool enough.
-
Good spot on that Sogeking mask. I reckon it'll break off during his fight with whoever but not realise and then he'll be..
Usopp: I didn't need the mask to be brave, I am brave!!
Luffy: It was Usopp?! -
ooh, something else to look forward to– dramatic mask cracking! (I know everyone else's in on it, but is Chopper? I can't remember.)
@Zoro going in circles: Yeah, I caught that joke-- at first I did a double-take and thought the page must be reverse-imaged or Western format, because it didn't make sense, then realized "wait. That's Zoro. Ooooh, he's doing the old silent-film joke." ...'twas funny. ^_^
-
Haha! The mask breaking thing… I think I drew it ages ago (around 370)
-
raises glass Here's to CP9 getting the ass-kicking of a lifetime. This is going to great!

It's not how you pick your nose, it's where you put that booger that counts. XD
As always I'm loving the chapter and the humour never fails me either. I thought the scene with Zoro and the doors was wierd yet awesome. I still can't wait for the next chapter…. I think I might explode. Thanks for the translation too ooshi.
Oh and Changso! I think that drawing deserves a DON moment =).
-

What´s actually scaring the hell out of me is that the crack is exactly there where you drew it. :afraid:
-
changsho is secretly working with oda. let's mob him. XD
-
Sanji: “marimo� (translators note marimo=kind of algae) why are you here before me!!?
Zoro: aah… youâ€re late. Were you lost?
Oh the Irony :rolleyes:
I was also thinking that everyone is packed except Chopper and Sanji. I worry a little more about Sanji because he'll almost definitely get a top tier opponent.
What do you mean "packed"?
