@dial:
I hope it's only a fansub error but it a thing that really irritated me. In the anime Luffy said he really stood up to Big Mam which, first, no one would say like this, second, in the manga he said fought her back, he'd fight that jerk or he picked a fight with her - depending on the translator.
Obviously there were no dialogue changes. It's well established at this point that Funi's translation is usually questionable at best.
Anyway, those scanlations are often off, too. People shouldn't take them to heart.
@Crossword:
Franky didn't do anything in the manga chapter either, guys.
Yeah, and seeing how Franky literally disappeared in the manga as of late, one could say Oda is taking part on the "conspiracy" to kill off this character too..
Pretty sure Yao is fine. He's currently voicing a pretty talkative character in Saint Seiya Omega and there was no change.
If he had some serious issue, he wouldn't even be at the movie event. It's not like he had to, Hiroaki Hirata wasn't there either.
