FUNi has used Sogeking themselves in the subs and on the DVD description though.

Well, that's even worse.
But I wonder how they're going to handle the wanted poster in the later episodes.
They'll probably just leave it the way it is, since it's uncut. -
I'm actually ok with Sniper King. I would have PREFERRED Sogeking, but Sniper King is accurate so I'm fine with it.
I assume they'll translate the wanted poster to "Sniper King" the way they do signs.
-
Is it Sogeking on the blurb or sniper king? Honestly i'm not bothered by the poster issue to come but what I find terrible is the amount of typos in the episode titles. Yes mistakes happen but this is just ridiculous I can spot three mistakes in there and that shouldn't be happening, the person responsible seriously needs to be fired!
-
I don't want to have to get used to "Sniperking" personally, oh well. Maybe it won't be so bad after hearing it a bunch, cannot wait to see the episodes myself regardless since I love this arc and the character. Can't wait to hear Wanze and T-bone, really enjoyed those bits in the Japanese language track version.

Yeah, spotted three episode title typos within like 10 seconds of looking at the disc covers when they were first posted, lol. That and the Sniper King incocnsistency with it being called Sogeking on the description leads me to believe whoever handles that portion made this release a bit of a rush job for some reason. I wonder if FUNi was fighting for Sogeking and had to switch to Sniper King unexpectedly after Toei passed on the idea.
-
Man. We're always disappointed by something when these sets come. Not to sound melodramatic. It's always something small, but it's still aggravating. Especially when this is the best arc.
I'd really prefer Sogeking, but I guess it doesn't matter too much, since he's only a one-arc character. …who I believe will return to save us one day...
Typos are ridiculous. It doesn't take any effort to rescan the sentence you just typed with your eyes. Did a Fujitora (a blind man) type them?
--- Update From New Post Merge ---
Do they ever call him Sogeking? There's my question. It might just be 'Sniper King' on the episode titles.
--- Update From New Post Merge ---
Haven't you been burned by that before, as well? Don't keep doing this to yourself, man! We care about you!!
Thanks! I suppose I have, thanks for remembering. If I would've known it would ship on a thursday and that they didn't deliver on saturdays, I would've selected the normal shipping. One time they just didn't ship it out till a day late for some odd reason. And for the extra 6~$, I'm only really getting it a day earlier than the other way, if even.
I wonder if UPS will let me pick it up tomorrow…

If we're lucky, but if the episode titles have Sniper King, it's a safe bet that is what Colleen narrates in the episode , along with being what the characters audibly say.
Little mistakes in the episode titles that are ignored by the actual read of the title in the episode by Colleen isn't uncommon, I believe the last time we had one of those was Season 4 Voyage 3 at the earliest, though it wasn't as extreme as replacing an entire word with something else.
-
Right, right. I understand, but they could call him both, you know? This is Sniper King, Sogeking!
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
What I'm trying to say it that the title could be 'Sniper King', but they still could call him Sogeking, which would explain the marketing him as it everywhere else.
-
You think so? I'm not sure. I don't see an intentional inconsistency like that happening.
-
Well, fore example, they call him the Sniper King in the song, but they could still call him SogeKing in conversation. I think that's what VIZ did.
-
They just called him Sniper King consistently, Sogeking was never used once since VIZ Media edited his Wanted poster in the manga anyway. Sniper King from the Island of Snipers.
-
Woah. What? He's not Sogeking in VIZ? News to me, and I have all the volumes. My bad, then, my bad.
Yeah, I guess things are looking pretty grim for Soge. Still waiting on someone to state that he's never called that.
Wouldn't that mess up the syllable count, too? It would be easier on the scriptwriters to leave it as a two syllable name.
-
Sogeking was never a two-syllable name… How are you pronouncing Sogeking? as "Sohj-king"? It should be "Soh-geh-king" If we're talking about lipflap, then it would have been animated for the Japanese who pronounce it "So-geh-kin-gu". So, actually, Sniper King has 1 less Syllable than Sogeking does in Japanese.
"So-Ge-Kin-Gu" vs. "Sni-per-King"
Would probably make lipflap far easier actually.
-
Watching 257-258 now, no mention of Sogeking, only Sniperking.
Correction, the subtitles for the Japanese titles at the start of the Sogeking song are translated as Sniper Warrior Sogeking.

God, I'm off tonight. Yeah, I took two years of Japanese, believe it or not. I know, just wasn't thinking. Sorry, guys.

They edited the Wanted Poster on the uncut DVDs? The purist in me doesn't like that. :ninja:

What? No. The Wanted poster won't even be on screen until late Season 5.
They're probably gonna leave "Sogeking" on screen and translate it via a sign subtitle like they usually do. For reference, see the Alabasta map in Season 2. Which is also a good example that they keep things. They have the characters verbally say "Alabasta" but left the writing on the map as "Arabasta".
-
We were talkin about VIZ editing things for the manga.
-
Oh. Gotcha. Been a while since I've seen Water 7 and I haven't been keeping up with the latest DVDs.
-
Should be getting my set in a few hours! Though since I am still watching season 4 voyage 4 I probably won't be watching until later tonight.

Can you at least post clips or something? I would love to hear the sniper King song if you could post it.

It should arrive any minute now, but no can do sadly. I tried posting something with my phone before and it never uploaded correctly, sorry bro. You will have to wait with someone who knows this stuff better. If there are any simpler requests, I am glad to assist though.

Oh well. :-( at least you were honest. I myself order my one piece DVD's on Amazon, so I'll be waiting quite a while. so I really do look forward to when people here get it early.
Oh well,just a little longer.
-
Just got it in the mail. Checking out the extra's now, looking forward to watching this Colleen interview!
-
The last few boxsets had far more posts than this one. Guess that shows how lacking this boxset is comparatively Sogeking is great, but the rest of these episodes are fairly weak. I'm curious if the english voicing remedies the pacing issues at all, as these are the first few episodes to start to noticeably suffer from pacing issues.
-
Mine says it arrived at my local post office yesterday, so I might get it in today. I have to study for exams so I won't have time to watch, but I might be able to upload a clip for you guys assuming it comes in. Any specific clip I should grab? Also please provide the episode number and roughly how far in so I can find it easily, as I haven't seen these episodes :P again no promises, but I'll try my best
-
Lol, I was just browsing Funimation's FB page when I saw this picture.

Sogeking theme, please. (Episode 258)
-
EDIT: Reupload is already coming with better audio. Waiting on Youtube to process it.
-
Would you be able to post the voice actors for the new characters? (Wanze, Nero, T-Bone, etc).
-
Sure, and a better upload should be here:
-
Thanks for the clip. Sonny's Sogeking voice is decent as well. Gonna have to get used to it for a while.
-
I like how the last bit matches up with the original in terms of sound. (Gu/True)
It's just so nice to hear a song in the series being dubbed again, even if it's something like this.
-
What? You mean it's actually dubbed and not in japanese? Crazy story.
-
Wat. I was just expressing how nice it is to hear a song in english again considering at this stage we probably won't be getting dubbed openings or endings again anytime soon. Not seeing where I gave off the idea that I thought it wouldn't be dubbed, as I'm aware that songs created for the series and sung by the characters are different from the licensed ones.
(assuming you were talking to me, if not, sorry about that)
-
It was a joke featuring comic sans and everything!
-
That clip was pretty damn awesome really impressed with Sonnys sniper king voice, now to just wait another week or so for the set to arrive…
-

Yeah I know it was sarcasm but I took it differently.. somehow. Now I don't even know what it was that I thought that I had thought that you meant….....that I thought. my mistake
-
Thanks for the clip of Sogeking. Not bad, I must say. His voice definitely sounds different enough from his "normal" Usopp voice and it fits his "over-the-top" nature. I've fallen behind on these sets, sadly. I only got the 1st and 3rd Voyages of S4…mainly due to my local BB never carrying the 2nd one (and the prices are more expensive). Though I'm aiming to just save up and get sets 2, 4, and 5 at the same time from RS now. I'm really looking forward to the sea train stuff. I greatly enjoyed Sanji vs. Wanze and Franky vs. Nero, so seeing it in English w/ "near-HD" quality will be a treat. ^^
-
Nero, Wanze, and T-Bone are fun. They'll be entertaining to watch. Everyone should buy from rightstuf instead of amazon. They're cheaper even with shipping. And, of course, you get it early.
Too bad there's no trailer for the next voyage on the set. I'm hoping to see that up before the end of the month. Or at least the cover.

I'm really digging Sogeking's voice. Song was awesome as well.
Thanks for sharing.

Episode 260. Franky vs. Nero.
Should be about halfway through the episode.

If it's okay w/ you, I'd love to see the part where Wanze first appears and we see his little "quirk". I wanna say it's Ep.259, but it might have been near the end of Ep.258. Sorry I can't be more specific, it's been a very long time since I've seen these episodes. ^^
