Hey can someone put up the list of people Luffy has asked to join? I want to add it to the trivia section of Luffy's page on the Wikia.
One Piece: Yellow Discussion Thread

Can anyone please tell me the names of everyone from the Norland flashback, like the name of the Lyveel king.

Couldn't Doberman be pronounced Dobelman also? Heh, dunno why, but the second just sounds cooler. >,<
-
No that just sounds gay and so wrong. Doberman is a type of dog…
Though the Japanese may well pronouce it that way… We don't.

I got it today, some pics!

Chi tiene a quel progetto, mi aiuti a portarlo avanti. If you care about that _project, help me to bring it forth.
_ Work In Progress v58: complete || v59:80% (Nov.2011) -
where'd u get it at?^

Reflecting back on Skypiea, I always thought that pumpkin thing was clear…weird.

@''White:

Wal-mart. What do you think?

Oh it's perfectly clear.
I just never picked up on it.
Okay, some new news. Been reading specific parts of Yellow to do research for my Luffy crew profile update and came across a solid explanation of Ashura.
I previously confirmed that it was an illusion based on his own spirit. However, it was written in a description of Ichibugin that the purpose is similar to Nami's new skills with the Perfect Clima Tact. The illusion simply gives him an opportunity to give a direct full blow to his enemy's vital spot with all three of his swords at once since it it 'impossible to see through the illusion'.
Yay.
-
so asura is NOT a stronger move? just a deception wich makes him more likely to hit with his full power?
-
? says that the version Kaylara uploaded is a raw doesnt it? why "scanlated"?
-

I think the Japanese pronounce it one way and varies according to accent just like the english language.

Yeah, if you completely ignore the spelling of the word in Japanese.
I mean we could spell 'hair' as 'hayr' too in English but it would be dead wrong.

So Asura´s strenght lies in confusing the opponent. In other words if the opponent can´t tell real from fake swords he doesn´t know which ones to block. Does that mean that somebody who can take on three swords can block Asura if he´s lucky with his choices?
-
There are 84 different ways you could pick three swords out of nine to counter (if order of selection is irrelevant).
So basically, you've got below 2% chance of actually hitting all the real swords.
-
Unless you could attack all of them at the same time, like several people probably can, so I think Asura's (or at least Ichibugin's) main strength is actually the intimidation factor.
-
So… he doesn't use his SPIRITZ to produce more arms and swords? That's a relief.
-

But the whole factor of luck in a fictional story relativates the thing again doesn´t it?
On another note, wouldn´t a person who is able to block nine swords at once be actually at advantage if he finds out that he only needs to block a third of the swords that are comming at him?
I´m just trying to get that information straight, because if Asura´s strenght does lie in confusing the opponent other then launching a three times stronger attack at him then I´m asking myself how well Asura would go against Mihawk.
-
So apart from the illusion is it any different from his regular 3 sword attacks? because it did shred the amendach..i or is it just some magic to blind enemies?
-
84 different ways? why would one try to block the three he carries in his mouths or the three carried by his three left arms?
wouldnt one pick one left arm one right arm and one mouth? meaning it would be 1/3 x 1/3 x 1/3 = 1 chance out of 27? -
@Radical:

That´s what I thought too at first. But the way it looks now he could probably have cut through Amanedachi without Asura. The only reason why he used it before was probably the moment of surprise making Kaku unable to deal with what was coming at him that quick.

So Ivotas and Greg, or anyone who has One Piece Yellow. What does it EXACTLY say about Zoro's Asura technique?
-
Err…we´re having the enitre talkback just because what it exactly says about Asura.
-

Yay.
Thankyou…........
Now, does Oda explain how Zoro changed Kaku's "Ranyaku" into mist?
-

**I hope you don't think that he actually turned it into mist.
Zoro just cut Kaku's attack into a lot of tiny pieces.**
-
i hope you will reread superstars sentance. since it doesnt say anything about any person turning into mist.
Edit: Polygon edited his post so mine doesnt make sense =P

From Stephen's scripts…........
Pages 166 & 167 -
Kaku: He turned the slash into mist!!!
-
lol hello there sailor
Zoro used his demon chi to alter reality and turn the attack into mist it says right there
the bigot who thinks being an asshole is actually worth shit
-
@Cap'n:
lol hello there sailor
**I feel your pain.
@** SuperStar: I'll try to explain it one more time. Nothing was actually turned to mist. It's a figure of speech.
-
maybe superstar is wondering how he cut the attack in the first place since asura wasnt an actual increase in power?
-
This post is deleted!
-
Awwww….an illusion?
And here I was thinking that he actually uses 9 sword to slash up the enemy. =/ But Im not worried because later within the series Zoro is going to obtain skills beyond most of our imaginations. :D
Im hoping he develops Asura further instead of having it as an illusion.
-
**@Polygon:

@ SuperStar: I'll try to explain it one more time. Nothing was actually turned to mist. It's a figure of speech.**
Yeah, I mean Kaku stated bluntly that Zoro turned his attack into mist. I highly doubt that was a figure of speech. Otherwise wouldn't it be more like Hyperbole? hyperbole might explain his "He turned the slash into mist!!!" however, Kaku saying that his slash turned into mist is a statement not hyperbole. It cannot mean anything else aside from Kaku's Ranyaku being turned into mist?Or is there other evidence?
-
Superstar just what exactly do you mean or expect oda to mean by "turning into mist"
the slash itself is as far as i understand not made up by anything solid, liquid or gaseous. (probably a form of wave pattern or something if it needs to be explained)
Mist is baisicly just water vapour in the air.Just like polygon i belive "mist" is an analogy for makeing the attack useless.
-
wasn't Zoro doing the same thing to some of the other rankyakus (the first bits of kiri shigure, shuriken)after all rankyakus are just cutting waves and don't have to be durable, they are for the purpose of attack. Amanedachi is just bigger, sharper, and makes deeper slashes
-
**The slash is air in a special shape flying at high speeds.
:::So, does yellow focus on anything? Like characters or geography or is it just bits of random information?**

Does the databook say anything about Zoro's Ichi-Gorilla and Ni-Gorilla tecniques? I'm more intersted in them than Asura.
-
heres some info polygon
(Edit: fixed scanlated -> scanned)
Thanks.
@Pass:

**I can't read japenease, so I can't be sure but it looks to me like part of this page (the middle-left) gives information about the gorilla techniques.

Precisely.
According to what (little) it says in Yellow, Asura has nothing to do with him cutting through Ichibugin.
I mentioned this a while back in the thread but in Zoro's profile it clearly calls it an illusion of his warrior spirit. Interesting thought now, was this what Oda was hinting at with Enbima Yonezu Oni Giri? Because in looking back on that, there was little need for his swords to 'twist' because it had nothing to do with confusing his opponents since it was a rush attack. I'm starting to think that was our intro to Asura but THAT IS NOT WRITTEN ANYWHERE and it's just my theory.
So anyway, the description says that it is impossible to see through the illusion but we also have to consider that must be true for characters we've met so far. If Zoro whips that out as a sure killer move, he wouldn't have many exciting battles so I'm sure Oda will create some weakness for it.

It does in fact and funny you mention that because that is precisely what I'm working into the Zoro profile at this exact moment. I saved it for last in his profile because it's the biggest pain in the ass to explain of all his new techniques/stances.
-
I'm wondering if Zoro switches the positions of his swords and head/arms to further confuse his opponents.

I dunno why, but I find these words hilarious…....

Did they show info on diable leg?
-

Rankyaku is basically wind so I think Zoro may have cancelled it out with another attack of equal or more force. Or simply made it really weak by softening it with a weak strike so it merely became a small breeze.
Or he summoned his own spirit and they engaged in a dogfight and they both died in the struggle.

@Radical:

heh, i'm actually more interested in the sanji info than anything else as well

Well, I would like to know why Zoro calls his attack "ICHIBUGIN"!!!! (One Mist Silver) because he turned the slash into mist.
