Volume 61 Prediction Thread

@Vongola_Boss_XI:

The coat is AWESOME….but I could see that showing up later.

I really don't get why people like the short haired Robin? O_o I like girls with long hair…irl and in manga. Don't find short hair attractive on a girl. I mean shoulder length, or something I guess….but not really short like the pictures of Robin.

Like...some of Robin's alternate designs were cool, but I liked the long haired ones.

As for Sanji, I like what we ended up with...but I will say, i always thought he looked cool with glasses.

Maybe because gasp Different people like different things?!?!

I like her with both long and short hair, even though I like the shorter haired version in the top right corner a little more.

And the question with Rayleigh here:

Hey, everyone.
I'd volunteer for the translations, but I'm currently on a school computer and not allowed to download anything outside of academics. By the time I return home, it'll be pretty late, and someone probably would have done the translations, but if not, I'll get to it.

Edit: Aohige most likely isn't going to bother with most of the questions, so I'll volunteer. Hopefully by the end of this week, when I actually would have time.

Silverblade

Please take your time. There doesn't seem to be too many free translators around this time.

Man, Robin looks so MUCH MUCH MUCH better with short hair than her current lame design :(

But when it comes to the others, I am happy with Oda choices.

Fishbot

A reader asked Oda if Jozu's penis is as well made of diamond, Oda was affirmative.

I see the readers still have priorities.

And Oda does, in fact, take a shit.

"I want a break. I need to pla….. I mean I need time to come up with the new plot for the story... like 3 weeks"
"Alright, if you're willing to do the returning chapter with extra pages and color, we'll give you one month break"

This was the conversation Oda had with the editor.
So what he did do during the break?

Apparently he went to Hawaii and had fun.

A ton of readers sent him letters saying if he's ok, if he's sick, yadayada
Oda's answer is MAN I WAS HAVIN' A BLAST IN HAWAII THANK YOU VERY MUCH
He says he doesn't get to spend time with his family very often, so he took em for a well deserved vacation.

Darkstorm

Good for him. From everything we've heard, he works harder then is healthy.

Aohige_AP

Sorry, I spent a good portion of the last hour staring at Post-time skip Perona's boobs.

The interview with Da Cider… I mean, Yao Kazuki is awesome, that dude is trippin' as always.
SDK would get along with him, he's always drunk.

No more real information in SBS, mostly gags as usual.

Reader: Hey Odacchi, I have this feeling I wanna throw up what's in my tummy, is this Haki?
Oda: No, I believe that's Hakike (queasy)

EDIT: Oh yeah, table of contents show bunch of official romanization of names.. but I don't think any of them are new?
Maybe Databook Green shed some light on them, but being in the manga makes it a bit more official I guess.
Dracule Mihawk, Jinbe, Emporio Ivankov, Silvers Rayleigh

The question about Inazuma is about his birthday or if he has a scisor penis?

Aohige_AP

@maxterdexter:

The question about Inazuma is about his birthday or if he has a scisor penis?

Reader (31 years old house wife): I really really want to be Inazuma.
Oda: Okay.

JulieYBM

…honestly, asking if he has a scissor penis would have been a far better use of space. O.o

@Aohige_AP:

Reader (31 years old house wife): I really really want to be Inazuma.
Oda: Okay.

If it wasn't this short, this would be the single worst sbs question ever.

Who, besides her, would want to read this? At least the penis gags are funny for the kids!

Crossword

I does make me wonder what the thought process behind picking these questions is, especially since the SBS used to have a happy medium of useful information and gags, and now we're lucky if we get maybe five questions that are actually relevent to the story/creation process.

But I guess I'll take Jozu's diamond penis over the 10000 ''what're Nami's new sizes?!'' questions that I was expecting.

Started on 86-57-86, then 95-55-85. Can we expect 101-53-84? Actually I'd like 90 Runs and hides :ninja::ninja::ninja::ninja::ninja::ninja::ninja:

Volume 61 sold in 3 days 2,086,080 copies, another new record in Japan.

http://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/obc/w/

Volume 60 sold 2,094,123 copies in 4 days, so Volume 61 sold more or less the same copies in less days ^^

One Piece Volume 59, 60 and The LOG 15th are in TOP 30 too.

LUFFY1fan

Holy. Shit. The manga industry wished they made that much in a year XD

rubia_ryu

These new records that One Piece keeps breaking won't be backing down anytime soon. The upcoming volumes will be just as popular.

There should be an SBS question concerning his vacations.

Don Quichotte De Flamingo

So Hawaii he chosed to spend some free time.
Wise decision Oda-san, he could easily rent his own island for his family.:happy:

Trafalgar Law

For anyone curious, the other in the top 5 are:

Gintama
Kaichou wa Maid Sama
SKET DANCE
Jin (Author: Motoka Murakami)

Luffyfan

Eh? Gintama number 2 eh? Well that's good do like that anime. Epic how much money One Piece is making.

Anime News Network just released the comic ranking.

MANUELF

One Piece is STILL breaking its own records…. when will it stop?

WarshipArc

When the final volume is released.

Rogues' Gallery

Hmm, Midly surprised that none of the SBS's asked about Bonney's mysterious connection to the World Government.

I mean, Akainu fought against Whitebeard without fear. He even managed to erase HALF OF NEWGATE'S FACE. A FREAKING YONKOU. WITH A DEVIL FRUIT THAT COULD DESTROY THE WORLD. Even two Point-Blank direct earthquake hits didn't slow him down. He also coldly fisted Ace, the son of the Pirate King, to death and showed no fear in fighting the remainder of the Whitebeard Pirates + Crocodile + Jimbei + Ivankov while chasing Luffy and still orderd the other admirals after him even when SHANKS arrived to end the war. Yet a rookie like Bonney's escape from the World Government gave him SHIVERS? I find this interesting and highly suspicous. There must be alot more to this then mets the eye.

Maybe there was. But Oda didn't put it on SBS coz it will most likely spoil the upcoming plots.:happy:

One Piece - 2,086,080
Gintma - 203,471

Great Gods!
One Piece seems to be single handedly propping up the entire manga industry in Japan.

Castelmore

One Piece breaks a new record at each release, right? It's just incredible.
I wish it was the same in France x)

Here covers in HQ scanned by me ^^

Sean D. Capitan

Thanks, Redon. I've been looking for this. You're the best! ^^

@'ko:

you mean that one?

maxterdexter

He meant the back of that one, pandaman's adventure.

@maxterdexter:

actually i meant both. i still had a little hope the fake mugiwara would be on the front under cover, in the same poses. it would be great
what about pandaman?

btw, thank you afro-skelett

^Thanks redon. That is pretty cool that One Piece has so many volumes on the charts. I guess the 200,000,000 volume celebration campaign must be working. I can't really think of any other reason for the first few volumes to be charting again except that One Piece has gained some new readers.
