Oh, yeah. And it seems like Brook is a villian now, since he's the bouncer, so I guess he'd fight with that katana.
Post All-Inclusive Things About Brooke In Here
-
-
BUT! There are still two facts wich speak against Brooke as a villian:
He was very surprised when he saw Thriller Bark
Hogback was freaked out when Usopp mentioned him.… it's still possible that Brooke and Guardian Guy are two different (but somehow connected) persons. This could reveal a new possibility of a sad sad flashback... but hey, Oda's still the one who decides.
-
My guess is that the Guardian was given Brooke's shadow to revive, and he got his laugh and a bit of personality [That's one great opponent here for Zoro - First he got a ridiculous square giraffe and now a rude comedy guy].
That also explains Hogback's last creation, let's say he wants to get a SH shadow for the creation?
Like that a SH gets it in the face, and needs to fight someone with their own personality to get his shadow back. I pretty much thought a SH is gonna get his shadow stolen this arc anyways, kinda like how Franky was captured with Robin.Or did I get it all wrong, and that recent creation already woke up?
-
I can see Hogback taking the wrong shadow, and instead of getting one of the powerhouses of the crew, he accidentally takes Ussop and puts it into the Frankenstein guy. A fight between two cowards would be awesome XD
Imagine the fight dialogue. XDXDXD -
Personally, I think the Guardian might actually be Brook's flesh. Surgically regrafted to another skeleton (perhaps one made of metal*), and reanimated by Dr. Hogback.
- Yeah I know, I'm a Wolverine fan.
-
But exactly why would Hogback bother removing Brook's skin and leave the skeleton when he could have just tried to revive him like all the other zombies? It also seems kinda weird that he'd put Brooke's clothing back on afterwards and leave it laying around in the open.
-

Because the soul necessary for the revivation was absent, floating around at sea for a year.
-
hm… well im not against it or for it... but wasnt it brooke that was carrying a sword in his "human form?" well the ship doesnt need another swordsman for obvious reason... maybe it go w/ zoro getting a new sword... maybe.. maybe not..
-
Now that you say it… Would a zombie swordman be possible? Zombies are slow and clumsy, I don't see one of them being proficient at swordmanship. The Guardian is probably alive.
-
TB's zombies are not slow and clumsey don't forget. Though they can tire and are rather polite to each other.
-
They are scared of fire however, and if the Guardian is a zombie then he has another easy weakness. Bring back Flaming Oni Giri Oda!
-
Hm, the laugh does suggest that Brooke and the guardian might have some relation (and no, not Brooke in disguise). Maybe Brooke and the guardian where from the same crew? Which would mean that Brooke was part of Moria's crew–his ship was huge after all. Which means he's lying.
Now that's, interesting!
Or, maybe Brooke and the guardian are brothers?
-
Well, Brook said his crew was slaughtered….epifany toilet UNLESS! Moria's crew died, but Moria used his shadow powers to bring back Hogback, who then set to reviving every single member of the crew, which is why Absalom and Perona have stitches! Brook probably donated his shadow to Moria to get Hogback back.
-
I wouldn't like the idea of having so shallow reason for the Bodyguard's laugh. That's some serious business, people! It has to be directly connected to the main plot. Nothing as simple as "they were in the same crew, that's why". Having being in the same crew means a huge plot from other views, not this one.
In the end, all we do is making up false theories, and then twist the whole story we know to fit them instead the opposite.
-
I want to believe the Bouncer isn't Brook, but it's so hard to do so! I think Hogback must have shocked/brainwashed him or something.
-
Well, the new chapter has some interesting development on Brooke. He's not there yet, thouhg his "personality" is. It makes me wonder what's in store for this character, seeing as Oda clearly hasn't forgotten about him since his disappearance.
I expect a grand entrance.
-
Now I think Brooke's sole purpose is ~ (spoilers for chap. 450)
! to add mystery to that dead swordsman guy, just to make him further enigmatic.
-
@Pass:

Well, the same could go for Brooke. Both are a little mysterious now.
Also, do you need spoilers? The chapter is out now.
-
I don't see them being too mysterious.
They are sharing the same personality, means that Hogback, or an ally of his, connected them. Brooke clearly is the original, so overall we can say Ryuuma was forced on Brooke's personality somehow.And I say they forced it with stealing Brooke's shadow.
-
Yeah, Ryuuma just threw a wrench into the whole Brook situation.
-
I deffinately now don't think Brook and Ryuuma were once the same. I guess Ryuuma was simply brought to life by Brook's shadow. I also think that Gecko Moria steals the shadows with a devil fruit.
-
I hope Moria uses something else to take shadows other than a DF.
-
Well, even his face is all shadowy, which to me seems like some sorta wierd ability related to the shadows. May or may not be a DF I guess…
-
Or he could be a black guy and Oda is being really racist.
-
Dude, can you at least put some substance into your posts.
You're making a post every minute.
Slow down.
Mellow out. -
Regardless of Brook and Ryumas relationship, regardless of anything really, I'm positive that Brook will join. The "Sure!" Panel took up 2 whole pages, are rare event in OP - it marks the 33'rd time it's been used, and all previous ties have been monumental, revealing, impressive occasions…or when Oda has to draw something really big.
Oh, and I think Brook and Ryuma are brothers, or somehow related. If Ryuma was indeed brought to life with a shadow, wouldn't it be stupid to stuff a musician inside a swordsman?
-
@The:

That's it. What if Brooke is really strong, and he uses instruments as his weapons? All of them.
Now it's not so far fetched [sp?]. -
They could have taken Ryuuma's soul and put it on Brook's naturally living body as an experiment to make a stronger zombie.
-
@Impel:

Oh, about that, I think the soul should be in heaven now. Brooke's left his body even with the fruit, so all others should leave too.
-
@Rai:

Now it's not so far fetched [sp?].Based on Pokemon, I'd say your spelling is correct :P
And I have no doubts that Brooke is strong, but that doesn't mean his strenghts are compatible with a swordsman. I mean, let's say you revive a kickboxer with the shadow of a sniper. I think the result would be a somewhat messed up and weaker zombie, rather than stronger.
That's why I think Ryuma and Brooke are related, rather than "sharing a soul/power/etc". -
Well, what I noticed is that Ryuuma is a skeleton, with skin kinda streched over him. The skeleton is Brook and the skin is Ryuuma.

That's why I think Ryuma and Brooke are related, rather than "sharing a soul/power/etc".Still, a strong shadow is a strong shadow nontheless.
Not only using instruments and using swords are actually pretty close, and seeing how different Ryuuma's attack is, I'd say the personality of a strong person might still do something when the body is strong too.I mean, you can't give someone like Ryuuma a coward shadow, or he'll be useless.

Brook is as tall as a pro Basketball player would be in the real world while Ryuma doesn´t appear to be that much taller then Nami and Usopp.

That and the fact that his name is Brook, which just Happens to be the First name of his favorite musician.
This on top of the fact that Brook being a muscian was only touched upon once. Also Luffy wanted a Muscian forever.
It not like he would have all these signs pointing to him joining then find a way to make him stay. Well he could, but it would be new.
-
Well, Oda may have based Brook off a bunch of people and stuff he likes, but he's never done that with any other character.
-
He has done that with plenty of characters. As others will point out to you. Oda gets a lot from real life people, esp. those he likes.
-
Not with crew members, he doesn't
-
BROOK IS TEH SPEEDZORZ.
In all seriousness, he has the insane mobility factor, the lightweightedness, and the ability to dodge arrows. With the speed factor, and his immunity to piercing attacks, I think he would be an excellent anti-sniper fighter.
But, we're talking about powers, mmyes?
In that case, I'd say he has the whole stealth factors going on. Maybe he'll elaborate on the assasination techniques that Robin bring to the table. We have some heavy assault fighters (Luffy, Zoro, and now Franky), and we have our smart fighters, (Nami, Chopper and sometimes Ussop, when he's not screaming) We have our finesse fighters as well (Sanji, Robin, and maybe Brook).(And yes, Sanji does fit into the assault fighter category, but he has more finesse to his fighting than tankage in my opinion)
Brook could just run around with a flick knife or his cane and smack and slash at their pressure points. Given his flare for mobility, that'd be more than likely, again, in my opinion.
And maybe after he kills someone he can play a little ballad on his violin to pay his respects. (He'd probably only do that after killing a major opponent though.) -
Brook is left handed. (teacup in left hand)
The guardian is left handed. (sword on right hip and pulls it out of it's sheet with the left)ruyma in the oneshot Monster is right handed. (oposit of the guardian)
the guardian and ruymas mannerism in how they carry their sword is slightly similar.
(no idea where im going with this just wanted to point it out ^^ )
Edit: oh yeah the thing that seperates the blade from the handle on the guardian's sword differ from the one of ruyma's swords
-
I think that the shadow controls the movements and personality and whathaveyou of the zombies. The zombies are just bodies.
But, with the 'why put a musician in a swordsman' argument, Why put a plate-smashing waitress in an acress's body? Because it's the only shadow and the only body available at the time. I think Oda's theory is that the bodies have skills and the shadows have personalities, and possibly dominant handedness. On this note, Cindry is great, because she's beautiful, and who needs extraordinary skills to be a waitress/servant? Honestly. it's more personality and know-how (which are in the shadow) than actual ability (example: a Zoro-zombie would still kick ass, but if, let's say, Franky's shadow was in it, he'd do the whole, "SUPAAA!!" thing, and the poses. But, when it got right down to it, Zombie Zoro would whoop out his three swords and wipe the floor with anyone. As opposed to using a Strong Hammer.)
-
If Cindry joined the crew, Sanji would be too scared to hit on her.
-
im wondering…
since he has awesome speed and an afro
doesnt that mean that he has the fist of afro? -
@Impel:

I'm not saying I want her in the crew. O_O I kinda hate her. she's all "Pfft! Flat." ><; don't like her character, and I can't see a zombie joining the crew. Now, a skeleton? yes. =D
-
Why put a plate-smashing waitress in an acress's body?
She is a plate smashing ex-actor who now is a waitress.
DURRR
-
She has the actress's personality, but it doesn't mean she's an actress.
-
@Impel:

Huh? What about the newspaper pictures, then? Did the actress have the same head and name as Cindry? Oo"
-
Yes….okay, good point. So maybe it's a woman who hates plates's shadow in Cindry's body.
-
@Impel:
Yes….okay, good point. So maybe it's a woman who hates plates's shadow in Cindry's body.
That's what I was thinking….
-
or maybe the actress hated plates
(the reason was a wealthy suitor with 10 expensive plates that she destroyed?)
and the shadow is that of a penguin?
-
Also with the recent chapter it got me worried,
! does Brooke use swordsman style? Or is it coincidence of the hitler/gigolo guy using Zoro's attack?
