Adding a poll.Thing its adequate.
What would your feelings be if Brooke didnt join?
-
-
….....uuuh....yeaah....well. Guess I'd feel indifferent. Brooke has had plenty of interaction with the straw hats, has had a past and of course the entire Laboon connection. Tho I'm finding it hard to think of someone like him traveling with people who pretty much look human (opposed to Chopper, which as someone said in another thread, seems to be a pet). But in that same thread it was mentioned by going into The New World there can be plenty of as strange or stranger things.
So really, I don't see how he can't join, especially with the Laboon connection. His entire appearance and it shocking people can be made into one of the many long running jokes in the series I suppose.
-
Considering that he himself said he would love to join them on their trip, except for the lack of his shadow and also that Luffy is determined to bring him aboard as a musician (and also because of Laboon) it would be a tad vexing to have him not join after 20+ chapters. Because, if he doesn't join, what was the sense in building him up to this degree? It would seem a collossal waste.
-
I would pout, call Oda a cocktease, then get over it and read the Water 7 arc again.
-
Most people, at least in the beginning, denied Brooke will join for 2 main reasons really.
1. His appearance.
2. That a new member (Franky) joined only a few chapters prior to his introduction.I think people are too accustomed to the entire "Long ass arc = new nakama" despite in the beginning a chunk of the crew was formed in a very short time. I don't see the big deal if we get a nakama earlier.
-
Eh, Brook was pretty cool at the begining. But now I don't really care if he joins or not. And to me, it would be really weird to see him in colorspreads for some reason.
-
Well, Brooke and Chopper could make one amazing team together. I mean, it wouldn't be that weird for a weird doctor to carry around a weird skeleton for medical purposes or simple decoration…...<_<
But there's the Laboon Thing. I think Brooke would rather go on his own to West Blue with Thriller Bark to get faster to the Reverse Mountain. There's no need for him to go trough the Grand Line Again, so I don't see what would be the problem of Brooke taking over such massive ship as Thriller Bark to get to Laboon as fast as possible...
-
Its been discussed,we dont exactly know how thats possible and considering that their somewhere in the midle of the Grand Line,turning back might be impossible,especialy thanks to the magnetic streams (only if he would find an eternal pose to Reverse mountain,but he would really have to search for it,so I think it would be faster if he went along)
-
Well, I'm a huge fan of Brook
If he didn't join. On one of the rare occasions, I'd be disappointed in Oda. -
Brook, if he joined he would easily become one of my favorite characters. His fencing style, the fact he is a skeleton, and his AFRO are all great traits. I already am in love with his design. Only Oda can make a skeleton have as many emotion faces as a human. If he did not join I would be a bit sad but someone as awesome as Franky JUST joined so I would get over it.
-
"Oh, Brooke didn't join."
-
-
Relieved. I never really liked Brooke. So he's a skeleton with an afro… now what?
-

Oh no you didn't!
-
"Oh, Brooke didn't join."
Thirded.
Although it would be pretty awesome if he did join, I'm not going to have a fit if he doesn't.
-
I'd be happy, i like brooke but i dont want him to join at all. theres no reason i can give i just really dont want him to join…
-
I'd probably bitch and moan (not on the forums, for all of your sakes) then go to the "These people should have joined" thread and post it up there, unless everybody else already went there…
I'd probably feel sorry for Luffy, seeing as how another musician slipped between his fingers.
-
I'd enjoy it if he didnt join, I want him to go to Laboon as soon as possible (who knows how long Laboon has left, hes old, his time might not be far off and it would suck for him to die before Brooke sees him again)
-
I still don't understand how Brook is going to see Laboon again without completing the Grand Line or getting on a Marine ship.
-
Extremely happy. I hate that damn skeleton.
He's the reason why I barely follow along with OP now…God, why did Oda have to create him?? I can't stand him and can't see why anyone would fangirl him. He's like Franky made more of a loser and with every single bit of coolness sucked out of him. And he's ugly, even when comared to Moria.
But instead, he's become one of the most popular characters now. It's irritating. Random Zombie should reveal that Brook stole his dream from him, Brook's past as a WG member / shichibukai who slaughtered pirate crews, actually tried to slaughter Laboon, but their looks were confused at the time, and join the crew. It's extremely far-fetched, but still, Brook irritates the hell out of me.
They also have enough crew members now, anyways. He'd just get in the way, the way I see it. And everyone's forgetting Franky's also a musician, just a bad one.
Or I could just be POed that all the other Spans and ecstatic Lucci fans are now succumbing to Brookism….sigh.

That's all I read out of that whole post. Barely following OP over a single character? Get over yourself.
But anyways…
I wouldn't mind too much if Brook didn't join. I just feel the crew needs another girl, and not another guy. o_o

Isn't this thread a HUGE spoiler? I mean this SHOULD be in the manga section,right? Anyhoo…
"Oh, Brooke didn't join."
Same.
I rly like Brooke. Much more than I liked Franky,but at the same time I dunno if he fits in, the same way I don;t feel Franky's look fits in well with the rest of them. His afro is made of win, and I kinda want him to join just for that,but i really feel like Oda-sensei should stop dicking around with all these male characters and add some more estrogene to that damned ship. If Brooke joins he had better be planning some AMAZING mermaid chick to join next arc. And since it seems alittle more unlikely we'll get Franky, then Brooke, then ANOTHER crew member, maybe it'd be better if he didn't join so we have a better chance of getting a chick next arc. -
I really like Brook, and it'll be odd if he doesn't end up tagging along, but somehow I think I'll live.
-
-
oh i'd definetly go into bargaining…
-
I don't hate Brook, but I see no reason in getting really upset over him not joining in the end.
-
I'll be sad and angry that Brook won't join the crew,His a great character like Franky
-
oh i'd definetly go into bargaining…
Same!
I'd be indifferent. I mean, we already have Zoro, so…
-
I don't really see a point in the thread.
Brook's gonna join.BUT I'LL FOLLOW ANYWAY.
It's extremely annoying to see people bitch about Brook, for ANY reason at all. Seriously shut up for only one second. You're acting like the many haters of OP that don't like it for the sole reason they look at it with the intention of hating it, not trying to find anything good. And some of you will be embarrassed to realize they do love it now, and STILL deny it.As for me if Brook doesn't join [and he does] I'd be first of all shocked for a week at least from how enological [w00t learned new word!] the situation would be.
After that I dunno. I'm pretty stubborn [DUR] so I won't leave any stone unturned until I'm fully calmed down. -
Probably indifferent. A musician and another swordsman would be fun to have on the crew, but what does it accomplish in the end? Unlike several of the other members who bring something different and important to the running and maintenance of the ship, Brook really doesn't add anything of true significant other than wrapping up Luffy's longest running joke. If he joins, fine. If he doesn't, then Oda will wrap him up in the right way and move to someone or something that will be more crucial to the ship.
-
I loved Brook when I first saw him, but now I don't really care about the guy that much. I probably wouldn't care either way if he joined or not, but it would be pretty odd to see a skeleton walking around on the deck all the time (odder for Oda to develop him like that and just abandon him though).
-

Eh? Succumbing to… Brookism?
Hey, I'm more or less a raving Lucchi fangirl, but hell I really don't care much about whether Brook joins or not.
Put it this way. If he joins, he joins. If he doesn't, he doesn't. Time will tell.
-
Indifferent because I've always thought there was a strong possibility he wouldn't.
I really like the dude though. but I like alot of characters that didn't join up.

Don't see what being a lucci fangirl has to do with wanting brook to join but ok.

If you paid closer attention…
I was referring to a line that said all the "all the other Spans and ecstatic Lucci fans are now succumbing to Brookism....sigh."
I actually agree that who you're a fan of isn't an issue here... Unless you're a Brook fan of course...:happy:
-
If he didn't join, I'd say "Aww" then I'd move on
P.S. What's with these really small quick reply box's? They're tiny now.

I myself don't like Brook, I don't mind people liking him tho. Still, you guys should be aware that Oda loves to surprise us. Brook joining… wouldn't be waaaaay too obvious?? I mean Luffy even invited him!! AND Brook said he's a musician!! C'mon, it's too obvious people, I think Oda wants us to THINK he's gonna join... and in the end he won't. Part of me believes he just WON'T join. He also doesn't really needs the Mugiwara help to go see Laboon again: in fact, that would only make him late, seeing they want to go see the New World and stuff. It'd be way easier if he like, got into another ship (or even took Thriller Bark itself) and went AWAY from the Grand Line, which is where Laboon is (or in the Grand Line entering but you got the point).
Also, if you look deep into it... you can't do much things with a skelethon. Imagine color spreads, songs, merchandizing and all that jazz. Being a skelethon doesn't makes him much expressive, we must admit - there isn't really a way to draw lots of expressions, because well, he would need eyes, mouth and eyebrows to it.
However, if for some crazy reason (as said, Oda loves to surprise us) he actually get his body back, THEN he could join... although having two pervs as main characters would be too much for one ship XDDD I must agree I'd like to see another female character join, a female musician. I know, it's a shonen manga, but still, if you work on a character well enough, the gender makes no diference and, for the perv ones, it'd give one more chance for fanservice XDD
-

When I heard this anti-brookish comment,I couldnt believe my ears (yes,you guessed it) but then again,I dont HAVE ANY!(couldnt resist)

Yes its obvious kinda like how its obvious that Luffy will beat all the Evil Antagonists that is stirring problems wherever Luffy arrives. Not everything Oda does comes as a surprise. as soon as the logpose pointed up to the sky (and a ship came falling down with a map) we knew they were going to get up there somehow.
As for the expressions: Oda has managed fine so far with shadeing… there is also body language. Surprise can easily be shown by simply dropping his jaw.
-
Even though I like Brooke I'd actually be a bit disappointed either way. On one side him joining would mean Luffy would finally, well, have a musician (for some reason I always hoped that would be the last member of the crew). On the other side, Brooke was a pretty interesting character who's sole reason for going on is a whale most of the readers probably forgot about.
Fans are sure hard to please boy I tell ya what. =B
-
lol wait a minute I didn't mean to be anti-Brookish or make you guys mad XDD I said it LOOKS difficult for an eskelethon to have expression or such, not impossible, and that maybe it was too obvious to make him join. Then again, he might join, I didn't say he won't.
And yep, the Skypiea stuff was a good example of obviousness.
Well maybe it is too soon to take conclusions… maybe Thriller Bark will be like a mini-arc (like Jaya), as MAYBE (maybe is a good word for this thread, yep yep) the Fishen Island will be a bigger arc (as in Skypiea was after Jaya), so we won't have to wait much to find out about Brook. -
I realized i sounded more annoyed/angry then i meant it to be… insert a number of and :happy: at random places in my post to make it more accurate... ^^
-
Brook can do expression,he did one in chapter 466
-
Honestly, Brook is more of a background character to me.
Yet if he didn't join, I'd be kind of relieved.For some reason, he just doesn't have that One Piece feel to him. Sure, what could be more "awesome" than a fencing, musical, Afro wearing skeleton? But there's a limit to how odd the main characters can be.
Imagine him in colorspreads. I can't imagine looking at Brook and thinking: "Sure, he fits in."Plus, he's got Laboon to go back to. :P
-
Brooke's dream doesn't really seem to fit in with the rest of the crew, I mean, they all have to travel across the entire Grand Line for one reason or another. Brooke just wants to go back to one location, and they would have to go backwards for that.
Maybe something will happen at the end of Thriller Bark that leads into the next arc and Brooke can travel with them for this "Saga" then leave at the end, sort of like Vivi. I mean, he has a dream but Oda didn't show his flashback yet, though it's probaly inevitable at this point.
-
@Mr.:
I still don't understand how Brook is going to see Laboon again without completing the Grand Line or getting on a Marine ship.
Hay guyz, whatz goin on?
At this point I think Brook'll be around for at least until they get to Mariejoa (perhaps he'll find some mode of transportation there?).
-
Luffy made a promise to go back to Laboon after he found out Laboon's crew would never return… They will go back to him togheter after they reach the end of the grandline
-
Exactly what Im saying.
Uhm,U know,back when this arc was geting started and Ryuma was talked bout (they said it was "brook with flesh") ,I had this really nasty feeling that perhaps hes just lured them there,itno a trap.THANK GOODNESS IT DIDNT HAPPEN!But stil,do you think Oda'll show us some character,makes Luffy help him,then it turns out he lied to em all and just used them for his own purposes?
-
ofc he has! he is still looking for binks sake.
-
I'd be horrified. Not only do I really like him as a character but all the plot points seem to support his joining the strawhats. I mean, I know Oda is wonderfully unpredictable, but it would just be a huge let down for me. I don't really see why people say his look doesn't fit with the rest of the crew. Sure he's weird but Chopper was completely different from the rest of the early crew and that happened anyway.
So yeah, if he didn't join my reaction would consist of rolling around on the floor, pounding my fists, stomping my feet, and then eating a bucket of ice cream to comfort myself.
