I don't know, I just can't picture him fighting villians with the SH crew.
Neither can I picture him in Group pictures, or Openings and Endings of the show.
He's cool and all, but a little too_…eccentric_ looking.
Not to mention most of the crew don't seem to like him much at this point.

First impressions always change just look at Chopper, Franky, and Robin.
I don't want Brook in the Straw Hats. i'm sorry but he is waaaaay too weird to join
He has joined. Luffy invited him and he said yes.
I'm seeing a lot of anti-Brook sentiments here. :( Why are you being such killjoys guys? Some of you have stupid reasons for hating him. So Oda made a character that deviates a lot from the your standard One Piece and anime characters? So what?
With all this hating going on, I'll say that I more than ever want Brook to join! He'll end up being the crew's musician, come hell or high water (literally in this case!).
Brook's a unique and interesting character. Give the guy a chance! Let's see how Thriller Park plays out and go from there!
Oda really gave some of you a shock! He created a total freak to join the Straw Hats! I for one am glad! Long live Brook! He'll fulfill the musician role and so be it. He's not a generic anime character and that's exactly what this series needs!
@IT'S:
DOFLAMINGO IS TEH FATHER OF SANJI!! lawl
Sarcasm taken. But if Doflamingo is related to anyone, it's Goldenweek. Their powers are similar in that they exert control over people. And they both dress flamboyantly.
Let me ask:
If Brooke doesn't join, what can Oda write in as a next crew member that would adequately surpass Franky at weirdness?
He doesn't have to. Robin's a lot more normal than Chopper.
I don't want Brook in the Straw Hats. i'm sorry but he is waaaaay too weird to join (where the hell are all the stupid Franky Haters now?) but to tell you the truth, it doesnt seem strange to me if he joins|: i mean, it's oda, he does things like that, we're living with that for 10 years now.
Edit: i see you guys are counting the Mugiwara crew without counting the Captain. what's the reasoning in that? they are now 8, including Luffy, that's the way i think it should be, it'd be weird if they will be 11 in the end.
Luffy said he wanted 10 crew mates. So if Luffy is a crew mate then who is the captain? Besides if it is 11 people total then Luffy can stand in the middle as the leader.
aha I speculate he will be an acrobatist
I am pro Brooke
whats odd is he constraints to alot of OP theme's
all OP characters have denied joining luffy's offer at first, only to accept it later on
all crew members were greatly helped by luffy/the straw hats
all crew members have gone through alot of pain and suffering (cept usopp, unless you count losing his parents, maybe thats what usopp needs to be brave IDK)
but yea the main thing being he is joining cause luffy has set his mind to it
man every arc I love OP more and more, THIS ARC IS GOING TO BE AWESOME
I'm seeing a lot of anti-Brook sentiments here. :( Why are you being such killjoys guys? cue whining and spite
Well, in my case, it's not that I hate Brooke, it's that this guy came from literally no where and suddenly people think he's the next god or something. For those who bring up Robin, at least she was a major character in Arabasta, she didn't just pop up like Brooke did. There's also the fact that we already have a pervy, suit-wearing guy on board.
I'm sorry to say, but Brooke seems a tad rehashed mixed with total randomness. I'm also don't really care about the afro. Since the manga's black-and-white, it just blends into the background and since it's not really stuck in his head (in a visual sense) it's hard to catch sometimes.
I have a theory, what if brooke can die and then take his soul into dead enemies bodies via Yomi-yomi?
could be discovered later on as he hasnt met anyone really after he first actually used the fruit
or just possesion or soemthing
I am extremely confident Brooke will join the musician thingy was awesome.
Brooke made deal with evil shadow-merchant thingy alongside with his crew. His crew has since perished and he is alone and looking for a shadow.
After defeating undead bad guy and stopping a horrible curse, a portal opens to underwater land. Brooke is avenged and gets his shadow back and joins. I'm pretty sure he has something funky.
This also means that FFA's bullshit theory on Mr. 11 is wrong. You knew it all along.
First impressions always change just look at Chopper, Franky, and Robin.
Brook & Luffy's meeting make me think about Chopper & Luffy.
Luffy wanted Chopper to join because he's a monster with lot of transformations. He didn't knew that Chopper is a skillful doctor.
Luffy want Brook to join because he's cool, afro skeleton who can poop ! He only learn now that Brooke is their musician.
like chopper, brook really wanted to go with the strawhats but something was in the way
in this case, its the shadow thing
Just my two cents, but I freakin' love Brooke so far. I have a soft spot in my heart for ambulatory skeletons, even pervy ones. And the idea of a fiddle-playing zombie Strawhat is too good for me to pass up.
On his first appearance last chapter, I didn't think he'd be a permanent character. But with this new chapter I think there's a couple of signs of hope for him becoming more than just an Arc character:
He can't leave the Florian Triangle because of his shadow being stolen; exposure to sunlight kills him. HOWEVER, there's clearly a way to retrieve it and Luffy has already offered to help. It's not inconceivable that the new storyarc is going to involve the retrieval of Brooke's shadow. Brooke MAY join the crew in gratitude.
Luffy's been looking for a musician for FOREVER. Since what, Chapter 2? Chapter 3? And this is the first musician that Luffy has run into who's got potential as a crewmate.
So yeah. I'm not sure one way or the other yet, but Brooke's got potential. I hope he sticks around.
Well, ru-debega, why do you think Brooke desire is ? Find Thriller Park or find his shadow at Thriller Park ? :p
Brooke definitively wants to go with them, he told it. Give the SHs a few chapters to retrieve the shadow, and sail towards underwater island (or meet some others vilains/dangers in the Florian Triangle).
No, his desire to see every pair of underwear in the world.
Donflmaingo dresses like a pimp, like Sarquiss.
^^ of course
his desire is to not be lonely and make people happy imo
AND that impel down said :P
no lessOR I'm too lazy and uninspired to make a proper sig
@Impel:
Donflmaingo dresses like a pimp, like Sarquiss.
… I take it you don't know what flamboyant means. Look it up.
I'm aware what flamboyant means. I just think that he dresses like a pimp. And Sarquiss dressed the same way and had lots of women on him.
Maybe at the end of the Grand Line there's a way to get his body back?
His dream is probably to be the best known musician in the world; I can picture at the end of One Piece, we get a page or two of the following
Brooke: … and that's the story of the second Pirate King, Monkey D. Luffy.
Kids: Hooray! Mr. Brooke, you really traveled with them?
Brooke: of course! And I enjoyed every minute of it, Yohoho!
Something to that effect.
@Impel:

Every Shichibukai we've seen so far except B. Bear has dressed like a pimp. Mihawk, Doflamingo, and Crocodile all dress like pimps. Some people think it's cool. It just screams "Meh" to me.
Anyway, BoT: They had awfully similar opening lines and are both very tall men, but I doubt they're related. There's a lot of perverts in the One Piece world.
i always wondered what the Musician's dream will be like. i mean, what could he possibly want to achieve in life that's about music, except for..doing a CD or something XD
"Reality leaves alot to the imagination"
I was thinking lately who will be his voice actor? I think the top three will be either
1. Shigeru CHIBA
2. Masaya TAKATSUKA
3. Daisuke GOURI

Of course, to make people happy. That's his job, isn't it?
He was lonely as hell and wished to die so much for 10 years. That's uber sad.
Thing is he's already seeing them as his saviors and happiness, so the only thing left is to trust their strength to help him.
I'm sure his fighting style is great, with swift motions and stuff like that. Voice might be involved too. He probably practiced over those years to bring back his shadow.
He'll clearly follow them if he could handle sunlight. And we know that crew is hella strong, plus Brooke. They get the shadow, get that guy's ass, and they sail to Gyojin Island with backround music.
Impel Down:
Please, that's the lamest thing ever. Why should he need his body? And how can he get it back when it's all rotten away? I'd definitely hate that no matter what. To me it seems his skeleton body is needed for him to protect the SH [aka fighting style].
Yeah, if Brooke magically got his body back, it would negate his light body. Which means no more insane jumps, no more running on water and no more "skull jokes". He'd just be an ordinary dude with a fiddle and no manners.
I dont rememer them saying that it's because of his shadow missing that he is able to do all those things, isn't it because of his bleach bones. All the missing shadow does is kill him under the sun. I'm sure somethings is going to happen in thriller bark to give him a dream and a reason to go with the straw hats.

The only ones who have actual dreams they can't do without joining Luffy are those that were formed in EB saga. The ones after, which weren't counted in Oda's 5-year span of the series, joined because they wanted to sail with the SH.
Brooke might be with the same case.
what the hell is the point in 'making everyone happy'? that is really, really LAME. he can do it with no prob, if he could only get out of this triangle. this is not a proper dream, it's not practical like becoming the King of Pirates or finding All Blue.

What's lame about that? He wants to make people happy. That means, he wants to entertain any person he likes to the fullest.
Plus, he wants to sail with the SH. That alone is enough if you're not convinced.

You didn't understand me. it's just can't be a dream, it's not like all the others. it's a motive that you wish to do in life but it's not like '1+1=2 and there you have it'. again, it's not practical. you can't know when did he achieved his dream. while everyone will do their things, luffy becomes the Pirate King, Zoro becomes the best swordsman in the world, Sanji finds All Blue, Ussop becomes a great warrior of the sea, Nami draws a map of the world, Chopper finds a cure to all diseases, Robin finds the true history of the world and Franky see the Sunny goes all the way 'till the end - what will Brooke do? 'amm ok i guess i made my dream come true too! made lots of people happy! hah..hah..:sad: '
i hope i made my point clear. my english is not decent enough.
"Reality leaves alot to the imagination"
Look, the point is they'll go to Thriller Park, learn a backstory, Zoro'll fight a swordsman, Brooke will fight with one attack, and Luffy will beat some guy who has something to do with Brooke's shadow and he'll join them.
@Impel:

Agreed, but what does it have to do with his dream?
I doesn't, I'm just explaining what will happen.
I think my problem with Brooke is that he's just seems suspicious. When he first showed up and decided to join the SH out of the blue, I thought maybe he was put there to lead them to some spooky place of no escape. While the DF explanation and the whole matter of the shadow came up, he did seem to make a bit more sense, but I still have this nagging feeling in the back of my head. I guess I haven't really been with the weekly series for that long (I didn't start specifically looking at it until about the Franky flashback, seeing how I was collecting the volumes), but maybe if Brooke proves himself in Thrillerbarque and shows that he is true SH material, I may not be as paranoid.
You didn't understand me. it's just can't be a dream, it's not like all the others. it's a motive that you wish to do in life but it's not like '1+1=2 and there you have it'. again, it's not practical. you can't know when did he achieved his dream. while everyone will do their things, luffy becomes the Pirate King, Zoro becomes the best swordsman in the world, Sanji finds All Blue, Ussop becomes a great warrior of the sea, Nami draws a map of the world, Chopper finds a cure to all diseases, Robin finds the true history of the world and Franky see the Sunny goes all the way 'till the end - what will Brooke do?

i hope i made my point clear. my english is not decent enough.
Ah.. In that case, we still don't know anything. He might want revenge over the one who killed him, or sail the seas with full pleasure only to have fun adventuring with the SH.
One mistake is Chopper's dream isn't to find a cure to all deseases. That's something he needs to acknolage to have his chapter title. What he wants is what I said about Brooke, sailing the seas and seeing new things.
Chopper said he wanted to become a Panacea and be able to cure any diease. That is something a lot of people missed from Chopper's past when he first went to live with the old hag.
Maybe Brooke will fight with his arm. Like he takes it off and uses the sharp bones ends of his fingers as a weapon.
@Impel:

That's a cool idea. A one-armed swordsman of some sorts, or a weaponary with no weapons. Seems close enough to differ from the rest.
Chopper said he wanted to become a Panacea and be able to cure any diease. That is something a lot of people missed from Chopper's past when he first went to live with the old hag.
Chopper asked Hiluluk in his mind, if the cure does exist, and if all his work and death was worth it. He doesn't want to find it or something. His dream was to have adventures in the sea as a pirate, like Hiluluk told him to.

Well i definately disagree, of course Chopper wants to see the world and sail the seas, but i think that his dream is like we said earlier, which is to cure all diseases. anyways, nothing much to do but to wait and see.
made think, have we seen choppers super skills in medicine? no
i hope we will soon
the correct meaning is Thrillerborough.
A borough is an administrative division used in various countries. In principle the term borough designates a self-governing township, although in practice, official use of the term varies widely.
In medieval times, boroughs were settlements that were granted some self-government. Boroughs were particularly common in England, Germany and Scotland. In medieval England, boroughs were also entitled to elect members of parliament.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borough
its common in england and ties into brooke's english theme.
also.. his dream is to ROCK
i dont know about his fighting style.. maybe he uses an axe/scythe type guitar. and he probaly uses a soru/kami-e type dodging and swiftness technique and he'll probaly be the fastest SH..
Well, in my case, it's not that I hate Brooke, it's that this guy came from literally no where and suddenly people think he's the next god or something.

Did you have to refer to the rest of my post as whining and spite? ;_;
Anyhow, I see where you're coming from. However, how is Brook rehashed? I understand about the random part: he came out of nowhere and suddenly accepted an offer to join. I just don't see how he is rehashed, but I'm sure there's something I missed!
From my perspective, Brook changes things up. He had a quick debut and readily accepted the Straw Hats. He's rather eccentric and goes against a lot of pre-conceived notions of what a nakama should be and standard anime fare. There is a difference between him and Sanji: Sanji is a lady's man, whereas Brook is just lustful. Likewise, we don't really know about him yet.
I'm well aware that Brook isn't perfect. I can't wait to learn more about him! I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt see how he develops. His case is weird indeed. I love how weird and unexpected he is. We'll just have to see how this arc plays out! 
BTW, please don't take anything I've said as an insult and so on! I respect your reasons for being skeptical about Brook. This is just a manga after all! 
Welcome to the thiller park arc and the sreach for brookes shadow. just like oda to surprise us with the 9th crewmember like that out of no where. everyone noes he is going to be their nakama 1 he is a musican and two he is just freaking awsome and comical…and luffy got the gleam in his eye.
Brooke's name is definitely BULK !
lol
I moved this in here simply because I know there are people in the anime forum who don't read the manga and who don't like being spoiled.
If you spoiler me, I will eat you with tater tots.
well i don't know those actors but i believe the actor who does urahara of bleach will do brook
HAHAHAHAHA,EXACTLY! LET'S GET INSIDE LUFFY (KUROSAKI) KUN,HAHAHAHA!!
(it isn't off topic,the original topic that i answered was who will do brook's voice but….......:wassat: )
I moved this in here simply because I know there are people in the anime forum who don't read the manga and who don't like being spoiled.
I almost moved it back. Whoops. 
But this does not really fit here either… どうしようかなぁ？
