Watch it be a key to the altar of ze saviour. A big strawhat shaped hole in the stone altar. And it isn't made out of straw at all. It is super secret moon technology! With authentic Buggy spit on the brim. A real collectors item
-
So Luffy seems to have allies or at least friends of every race
Fishmen and Mermaids - Jinbei and his Fishman Island allies
Long Arm - Ideo
Long Leg - Blue Gilly
Dwarves - Tontatta pirates
Giants -New Giant Warrior Pirates
Mink's - all there allies from Zou
Sky People - all there allies from Skypeiaso far they have yet to become allies with a three eyed (unless you count pudding) and a long neck
after that there are two more unknown races (One of which King is part of) do you think these neglected races will eventually become allies or friends with the Straw Hats?
-
Theres a bunch more races out there. Not even sure all of them will show up.
Wotans, kinokobito, automated, Birkans (supposedly all wiped put), etc.

Any news on Yamato's voice actor/actress? I wonder how much input Oda has had outside of Kazuki Yao who does Jango, Bon Clay, and Franky.

We will hear about that closer to when he is introduced so once we reach Onigashima and people sneak in & we see all the Flying Six.
Personally Romi Park would be a great choice IMO.
Known for Edward Elric, Toshiro Hitsugaya, Hange, Naoto Shirogane, Zidane Tribal, Koichi, and IMO one of her best and most underrated LORAN Cehack.
-
Well, as you noted, they did Loran which was notably a sort of dual gender role, so I could see that working.

I imagine a deeper, gruff voice will be used at first, just to keep the daughter reveal more unexpected.

They'll be underneath a mask, that can distort it. They won't have to be disguised for long.

He picked Luffy's VA I'm pretty sure. The manga creators are usually involved in the casting process at least a little, even if they're not in on the auditions. They can give their top choices to be considered, at the very least.

Oden flashback should be ending in about 1 month, so maybe in 2-3 months?
Romi Park you say…:blink:
@Robby:Well, as you noted, they did Loran which was notably a sort of dual gender role, so I could see that working.
After hearing Loran Cehack, I agree.
@electricmastro:I imagine a deeper, gruff voice will be used at first, just to keep the daughter reveal more unexpected.
Not sure if it's necessary since there are Japanese women who voice male characters all the time. Though, I could see this for other dubs in different languages.

That makes sense. It's his creation. So which role played by Mayumi Tanaka may have been why she was chosen?
Maybe Ryota from Dr. Slump? Straw hat alert! :ninja:
Krillin from Dragonball? Koenma from Yu Yu Hakusho? I'm not sure but I surmise Oda would pick someone that he listened to in his childhood.

Probably Krillin, Oda actually told Akira that he never read Dr Slump haha, dont know if that means he never watched the anime either though.
Speaking of voice actors…
Megumi Han got a very warm welcome by the staff when she joined team.
drawn by Usopps voice actor.

Even though they were altogether at the start because of a job, it’s cool to see a friendly atmosphere over other voice actors joining the cast. I remember it being noted that some party was held after the straw hats were separated actually. lol

Romi would be perfect, I can see her using her Sailor Uranus Voice as well for Yamato.
Edit: Nope I got her confused with Megumi Ogata my bad (she would be a great choice too) but I'd be here for Romi tho.
-
It really makes me wonder if anyone knew in advance that Daisuke Gōri, may he rest in peace, was intended to play a Straw Hat after his other roles on the show. Did Katsuhisa Hōki know all those years ago?
-
Do we know if they have special criteria for VAs who are supposed to be part od the main cast? I know the circumstances behind franky/luffy in that oda had direct input but beyond that i have no idea about the rest, especially characters like jimbei.

Speaking out of my ass, maybe a seiyuu that is not too high profile because they will be voicing the character for 10+ years.
So, no big names like Nana Mizuki (Hiyori - she's the most expensive seiyuu afaik) etc… a newbie or someone rather popular maybe.
Afaik Usopp is Shinichi and Zoro is Hijikata among others.
-
Who is that in the background on the horse?
-
Looks like Cavendish.
-
Even freaking Wanze is there (between Zoro and Franky, in the background).
-
I love that Zoro is going the wrong way.
-
My take on the infobox was that was Oda laying down that "yes, this character is biologically female. This is not a trick, a translation error, a devil fruit, or an Ivonokov accident" in order to end that chapter on a "surprise twist!"
The next chapter cleared it up pretty solidly IMO. But yes that introduction box seems to be the source of a lot of the confusion, regardless of the authors intent.
Also, Oda’s way of using the word “man.”

[qimg]https://ibb.co/wCcwPH3[/qimg]Good find! Yes, I think that speaks volumes towards Yamato's character.

This post is deleted!

Maybe Kid gets Caribou and Ulti.
-
There's no reason for Caribou not to be gone by now.
-

I have no idea what Oda has planned for him
Luffy did offer him a ride though, and we haven't heard of him leaving Wano
Imagine if ended up joining the crew
but he still knows about Poseidon, so that has to come into play at some point, right?
Maybe he tells Black Beard? No idea, I'm just shooting in the dark here
Edit: also if Caribou joined would he be part of the weakling trio?
-

Lol, wouldn't be surprised if Caribou showed up with the entire Road Poneglyph hidden in his body.
He also has to pay off his knowledge of Poseidon.
-

There isn't any way that knowledge would make Poseidon come into play in the current arc/saga.
That's EoS stuff, which makes it more logical for Caribou to have escaped already and use that info to detonate conflict in the next/last saga.

At sea, she'll always be at risk, and everyone's priority will naturally be to keep her safe, not to rely on her to get things done. They care about and count on each other equally: no single person's health and safety is more important than another's. Tama would upend that completely. That's just how it is with kids, and something I can personally attest to as a parent: kids' lives are more sacred than adults. The crew isn't ready to be parents for a child who'll need their undivided attention and devotion.
I'm sorry, Solid, but I feel Chapter 1011 highlights this issue I've had with Tama very clearly.
She requires an inordinate amount of support to get her one task done. Usopp and Nami have enough trouble protecting themselves, but now have the fate of a little kid on their hands too. She's trembling and afraid for her life, and that will become her reality and the crew's permanent responsibility if she heads out to sea now.

tbh I would have disagreed if it wasnt for her saying "i'm so scared.. I can't go on much longer", even though she is very brave and capable considering what she got to work with, Tama really is at her limit here, and with no ninjutsu to show either.
I'm still positive she is next, her interactions with the crew has been great, her character even more fleshed out and her presence gotten bigger. etc
and if Toki is indeed alive… it opens a few doors that could solve this. :ninja:

Well, I don’t think bravery is about being 0% scared. I think it’s really about doing what you feel you have to do regardless of how personally scared you are otherwise.

exactly, i didnt say otherwise, tama is in fact very brave.

While that's true, there's a bit more at play here. Tama was scared because there was an unstoppable dinosaur on their tail, and there will be many more threats like that on the way to Laugh Tale, some likely worse. She's not obligated nor ready to face those particular fears, and compelling others to protect her on a regular basis just because she personally feels she has to go would not be fair to anyone.

Unless time traveling shenanigans happens Tama is not joining

I’m honestly not completely certain how Luffy personally feels about kids joining his crew, so I’m not sure whether to think one way or the other about the matter.

Since he idolizes Shanks, and in the very first chapter of the entire series Shanks tells him he’s to young to join his crew because he’s just a kid, I’m gonna go out on a limb and say Luffy’s not okay with it
-
Well, Tama would have to be 10 years older and undergo a "Gon vs Pitou transformation"
-
I think Tama's chances are slim, but still a possibility. I don't consider that vulnerable moment by her as a knock. If anything, she's being honest. There are stronger angles than that when it comes to her character possibly joining. Like how her and Yamato's narratives have paralleled at times. Oda would go from one panel of revealing something to Tama, then switch back to Yamato revealing something relative to Momo. Their retainer group is strongly possible just off that.

Yup, completely agree, it reminds me of Oda setting up all the shipwright in w7, we knew one would, but who? and it happened to be, at the early time, the unexpected Franky.
Case is different now sure, but they both got the ace angle in common, while Yamato is portrayed as the more obvious one joining for superficial reasons while most people look at tama and goes "eehh a kid, no way", i just think it makes more sense for yamato to be the red herring in all of this.
-
Nah, Carrot, Yamato and Tama are all the red herrings, the new crew member will be my boy Caribou :ninja:
-
People: Oden sucks !
Also people: Yamato -who wants to be Oden- rocks ! -

I would like to see them meet. Imagine if they've crossed paths before. Both either lived or been to Kuri, bonded with Luffy and Ace. Harmed by Kaido in some way, Momo journey, yup. Their meeting is inevitable.

It's not farfetched to think Tama may have been among the kidnapped children the Spade Pirates rescued from Onigashima. I'm actually expecting that.

I mean lets be serious, if Oda decided Tama or any child was joining the crew they'd suddenly and/or eventually/inevitably be able to face those fears and anyone on the crew would be happy to protect that child except for Zoro probably.
Usopp should be the guy babysitting anyway.

Oda's showing us the reality of that scenario right now: Nami and Usopp aren't capable of protecting themselves and a kid from the dangers still to come. Tama is now and always has been at the mercy of serendipity and the kindness of others.
It does strike me as similar to Luffy, who also gets by with a little help from his friends. But he generates his own luck through his strength and calmness under pressure, and no one has to hold his hand, whereas everyone needs to hold Tama's. Part of that capability of his is probably thanks to getting that wake up call as a kid. This may be Tama's own wake up call where she'll realize for herself she needs more time before sailing. So yeah, while Oda could have a little kid join for the final leg of the journey, I think he's making it clear now why he won't.
-
Why are people even entertaining the idea that Tama will join when one of the main reasons Luffy wants to defeat Kaido is because he wants to make Wano a place she could eat well every day?

Story narrative beats are lost a lot in this fandom one way or the other all the time.
I don't mean this as a dig, just an observation from many years of enjoying this series but usually staying away from the fandom.
