Volume 77 Predictions/Discussion
-
that. is. so. epic
-
best bday ever.
FINALLY I GET A DONQUIXOTE FAMILY COVER IM SO HAPPY
-
Wow! I absolutely love it! About time we've got some proper Donquixote representation!
-
Wow, great cover. I love how Oda arranged the family members.
-
Hands down among one of the best one piece covers I've ever seen.
-
No rosinante? Really??
-
That cover looks great, can't wait for high res. Too bad Oda didn't use this for a previous volume, Rosinante (or anyone from the flashback) feels like a missed opportunity.
-
Looks pretty good, but I'm not a fan of how the minor family is positioned on the bottom with the horizontal line cutting them off and then leading to more of Mingo's feet. Would have preferred them being a bit bigger and hanging from the bottom.

That would be impossible because of Oda's name at the bottom right. It would end up obscuring Sugar and Baby 5.
-
huh, never expected blue hair for Gladius. Maybe it's supposed to make him look less like a super saiyan.
-
Amazing indeed…..... the Family has gotten the cover.
-
Eh, could've been better
-
No Corazon and Viola and I wish he continued the rainbow swirl from last Volume :(
Also, lower executives faces are from the manga and nothing special
-

Gladius's color scheme was revealed a long time ago.

Anime/colored manga really don't count though.
They aren't always the same when Oda colors it.

Please no, the reason most of us eagerly wait for volume covers is for the confirmation of characters´ color schemes. I honestly hate it when Oda decides to use a single hue per character on colorspreads/volume covers…

Though it seems they do consult Oda considering that they did get the unconfirmed ones right and changed the initially wrong ones (like Trebol, Dellinger and Sugar).

It worked with the last volume because we already knew their color schemes beforehand (except Kanjuro).

My point stands. I dont particularly care for Kanjuro but still, Oda gave a character with no current canonical colors a single hue.
Speaking of Kanjuro, his thumbnail on the latest character poll portrayed him with tomato red hair and paper white skin, I wonder if those colors were chosen by shueisha or by oda.

That's true, but I don't recall a ton cases where they're very different.
There are lot of times where the anime revealed the color schemes of characters first and Oda reused them in the manga.I don't know if they asked Oda for their color schemes or if Oda just decided to use theirs. They could have been completely different, but they're the exact same.
I recall Sugar, Trebol and Dellinger having different color schemes from early appearances and then having them quickly changed to their current schemes before their official introductions.
They were probably corrected by someone.I do recall Giolla and Diamante having different color schemes in the Digital comics so you do have a point.
-
Nice Cover.
But I didn't expect to see Gladius white mask.. Isn't it suppose to be black?
And please.. never believe in anime color.

Yeah, Gladius´ entire outfit is black in the manga, he only has a white/light mask (which is a part of his shirt) during Law´s flashback
Also I liked better the first color choice for Dellinger. I´m not fond of the green/lime green shirt and ugly blue short at all…

I believe Dellinger's anime color scheme has always been as it is, but yeah, Trebol's coat was originally a whole different color and Sugar had a completely different scheme that wouldn't have been fixable.

I'd say it's a case of Oda maybe liking the anime's color scheme and deciding to go with it, but he definitely still does some things differently.
The most recent example I can think of is with Ideo.

It's got that "digitally colored" look to it, so Shueisha.
As for the cover, I love it. I think it'd be pretty cool if the inside cover is an alternate one that has the flashback versions of the characters.
-
Yaaaah! Where is my Vergosinante cover ?
Pretty good cover, but still… -
@Galaxy:

Were there any other characters in the poll that were revealed with color by Shueisha?
It did look like they used the colored manga for most of the characters, some from volume covers too.. -

All the other ones that hadn't been colored by Oda were copied from the digitally colored manga (which uses anime colors as the basis if that's the case, I guess).

Poor Vergo :sad:
-
-
At least Monet got a cover in Punk Hazard. Unlike Vergo.
-
YES x20192894769195
-
A villain-centric One Piece cover?
After all this time?
-
Now that's one badass cover
-
Awesome cover… Love it
-
Monet, Violet and Rocinante too
As Ramistar said Monet got a cover on Punk Hazard
- Rosinante and Violet were not family's member (i mean they did not consider themselves as family's members).
-
Smaller but sharper version on the announcement image from the official website. I do actually like this one a lot, can't wait to see it in HQ. The officers lined along the bottom the way they are is a something slightly different as far as layouts go (although not as inventive as v76's). Title looks to be "Smile", after Chapter 766. I think Senor Pink being front and centre on the officers' lineup is another little indicator that chapter 775 will be this volume's climax.Just reading through the thread talkback though, there's a bit of debate over the accuracy of the digital colour manga, and I'm just wondering where exactly it's contradicted Oda's own colouring. It's always seemed pretty on point to me, more so than the anime in any case.
-
It´s not about it contradicting Oda´s colour choices. We want to know if the color choices are decided by Oda OR Shueisha. And yeah, they are undeniable better than the anime colors, however, I prefer that the anime actually gives the characters different skintones here and there, unlike the manga where every single non fishman character has the same skincolor (the only exception that comes to mind is Miss Monday)
-
Yeah, but that's more of an Oda issue than a colour manga specific one. Caribou I think is the only exception besides Miss Monday. It's disappointing, but I suppose you'd explain it as a cultural gap. Japan's not the most socially aware of nations and sometimes it shows in all the worst ways in their media.

I know but wouldve been nice to see them altogether. Specially Corazon. I wanna see him ;_;

Mr 5, Wiper, Kamakiri, Braham, Jabra, Blueno, Cindry, Moriah, Hannibal, Dragon, and Law all had skin tones colored differently from the norm.
Some are less obvious than others. -
I don't think slightly different shades of white are exactly what we're looking for here. And even if they were, I've just been looking through the volume covers those characters appear on and most of them hardly look different to anyone around them. Check out Law compared to the other Supernovas on v51. Or Dragon on 60, with his head next to Luffy's and Rayleigh's for easy comparison. Moria is even paler than everyone else, and Cindry, being a zombie, hardly counts. On volume 28's cover, Wyper, Braham and Kamakiri are near indistinguishable from Luffy and Zoro. Sure they anime changed their skintones up a little, but we're not talking about the anime.
-
I'm gonna miss them so much after this arc is done, seriously.
-
The thing with variable skin tones is that while in color comic is just another tone, in black and white is boosting your load to paint a shade, and reducing the viable effects and lines that you can do with them.
Compare drawing a character face just as an outline, to having to fill it in. Every time.
See Mr popo, not as a racist caricature, but as a showcase of limitations that his range of expressions brought.
Oda should use different skin tones in his color work though.
-
Doesn't it remind you of something though?
! Volume 21

I absolutely love this cover.
The panel with the officers faces overlapping with Doffy is a nice touch in particular.

This is not because of a "cultural gap", but rather because of the difficulty that comes from shading in a black and white comic.

Yup that, too…
Hopefully vol 78 will cover Luffy's bunch along with Cora-san

We already have Luffy's bunch in the cover of volume 76 though

I don't know, although I liked it, but that cover was kinda weirdly constructed and not at all what we used to get
with all the colors and hue and the swirl -oh! the swirl- it just felt weird.Plus, it doesn't give you that "vs." vibe, you know what I mean?
