Post All-Inclusive Things About Brooke In Here

Oh wow, good guess then. >_>
-
@Pass:
Based on the latest chapter, we get a few clues to his age. And folks,
I TOLD YOU SO.
Are James Dean and Marilyn Monroe elderly?

-
they werent when they died but if they were up and running now i would consider them elderly.
-
What does James Dean and Marlyn Monroe have to do with Brooke?
-
they died young but were born over 70 years ago?
still the likeness is a bit flawed since Brook is kinda living again…
-
I have wondered what was the pirate crew that slaughterd Brook´s crew. Maybe the strawhats will encounter them in the future, assuming the pirate crew is still around.
-
Course they could still encounter them now. Or at least zombies made from their bodies or shadows.
-
I am really interested in what voice actor will get Brook. I do not know if it is possible, but the voice I always imagined for Brook was Japanese Pegasus' voice. You can listen to it here-
=I imagined Brook to sound really light-pitched and cheerful… Since he appeared, I've had this voice in my head and been mentally speaking for him since. The 'Yohoho' sounding like how it'd be pronounced from kata, as opposed to 'you hou hou'.
Though this wouldn't really work, considering he uses 'Yoho' as a battle cry in the recent chapter, perhaps meaning it has a variable pitch and not always cheerful... I don't know.
I'm working from memory here, but if Mr. 3's voice actor... Nah, I'm thinking too much of a generic bard.
-
How about that guy who voices the ass-kicking, flying fatman from that episode from Cowboy Bebop where Spike and the guy shoot it out at the amusement park?
-
Am I the only one that hears a Santa Claus voice when Brooke speaks? Its mainly because of the Yohohoho. Plus, if he is based on Jack Skelleton From Nightmare before Christmas, it wouldn't be surprising for him to sound like Santa.
-

Brook doesn't really pronounce it like Santa or pirate laughter, it's probably supposed to be an Oda-pun on the latter… Since he's a musician and Yo-ho-ho originates from sea shanties, which he appeared to be singing when he first appeared and when rescuring Robin and Franky.
-
Yo-Ho is considered a sailorman's laugh anyway. I t appears in many old seaferring songs. and other culture refs.
"Yo-Ho blow the man down… I'm a ship ferring sailor..." And however the song goes.
-
If Brooke joins, anyone think he'll fight Lafitte?
Just think about that for a second and you'll understand why.
-

Actually I think it would be more fitting if He were to fight Doc Q.
To Have a skeleton fight a man called "death" and "The Grim Reaper" I think would be more symbolic then having chopper go at him and calling it a "lol doctor fight" with little actual meaning.

oooh i really like that idea :happy:
-
I think the obligatory Doctor V. Doctor fight may well be fulfilled here with Hogback v. Chopper.
But one failing IMO of Oda's is the tendency to ALWAYS match the Mugiwara against a similar competitor. Zoro ALWAYS gets the swordsman, Sanji ALWAYS gets the martial-artist, and Chopper always gets the freak of nature (Gedatsu, Fukorou)
-
freak of nature… doesnt that mean chopper gets to fight lola rather then hogback then? or possibly cindry...
-
Hogback may well be a freak… his face looks like a Gary Larson penguin, not a human.
It's so hard to choose, the whole island's freaks, so picking just one who is a freak among freaks is a challenge.

Yeah, but assuming that Blackbeard gets the same number of crewmembers as the Strawhats by the clashing point, it would make sense for respective positions to fight respective positions. Look at Lafitte. He's a tall, thin man who carries a cane and seems extremely light on his feet. If his cane is a cane sword, too, then Brooke and him would be a perfect match.
-
Cindry isn't freaky looking, and Lola seems to be an alley rather than a threat.
A while back, I said Brooke's dream may have to deal with friendship. I'm on a roll.
-

Chopper fought Kumadori not Fukurou
-

My bad. Spaced out. I guess subconsciously I still don't want Franky around.
-

Looks like Choppers fighting every one.
And the thing about Hogback is true to true.Maybe he is a zoan a penguion zoan. -

the only thing that's left is a colored brook picture so i can replace sanji in my sig.
-
Although I really like Brook, It is still possible that he would not end up joining the Strawhats. Look…his dream is to go back and tell laboon his story which, to me, not that big of a deal for him to join (of course his a musician and everything!). His voyage to Laboon is good for cover story though.
-
Im assuming that Brook will fight Laffite. They are just so similar, canes, tuxedos, tophats.
Final fight seems pretty evident now
Luffy vs. Blackbeard
Brook vs. Laffitte
Franky vs. Jesus Burgess
Usopp/Sogeking vs. Van Auger
Chopper vs. Doc Q
Its nice to see that the newer or weaker members of the crew (besides Luffy) are getting a moment of light there.
Robin will probably be looking at the final poneglyph, Zoro vs. Mihawk, no idea for Sanji, Nami will either run off scared or finish the map of Raftel. And no idea for final crewmember. I got off-topic.. :D -
awesome matchups. i think burgess will try to destroy TS and piss franky off

I dunno if anyone pointed this out yet. But I wanted to mention my impression on Brooke losing the fight to Ryuuma and how people starting raving about how much it sucked because they love Brooke or even how he can't join the crew because he lost the fight.
I think Brooke lost a fight to help illustrate his place on the crew as a useful and essential crew member but NOT as another ultra powerful swordsman/front line fighter. Especially since he fights using the cane sword, there is the issue of having one to many swordsman with both Brooke AND Zoro. I kinda got the feeling it was meant to show Zoro as the TRUE swordsman of the group and Brooke as a useful member who happens to use a sword but really isn't a battling machine(much like Chopper).
I think Brooke will be a member of the crew but he won't be a powerful fighter like RObin, Sanji,zoro, Luffy or to a lesser extent Usopp. He will be more along the lines of Nami and Chopper as far as a battler. He can hold his own,but he isn't meant to be plowing through enemy after enemy or getting fights every arc. This helps make a larger distinction between him and Zoro,who WILL alway have a massive battle during the climax of each arc and be drawn into scuffles repeatidly throughout the series.
-
Just what I was thinking though I believe Brooke will further rely on his agility and jumping skills to stay strong in battle
And I don"t mean to whore this thing in another thread but I have cosplayed Brooke!

Great Brook outfit Pass the Rootbeer :)
-
What a whore you're being AWB, XD. No really, brilliant cosplay. One of my favourites to date. Wish I could have seen it in person.
@Ao Kiji: Not a bad theory dude. I had a similar thought when I read that chapter.
-
Since about every Strawhat lost a fight when he or she was joining i dont think this indicates anything about his power. he was just faceing someone that had all his strenghts and then some plus knowing his weakness.
It was an impossible fight for him to win. But i do belive (agree) Zoro takeing over the fight is to make sure that Zoro is seen as THE swordsman. -
I hope after this fight, Brook quits as a swordsman at all!
This "2 swordsman" thing is bothering me and the simple fact one is weaker is not enough. It would be ok if he fought just with the cane, without using the blade inside.And about his power level, I use to think the MW like this:
OMG trio: Luffy, Zoro, Sanji
Strong duo: Robin, Franky
Weak trio: Nami, Usopp, ChopperSo, I kinda think Brook will be at Robin and Franky level (and we'll have 3/3/3)
-
why is multiple swirdfighters on a crew a problem for you? just look at all the generic pirate crews and you'l find a dozen swordfighters.
every single marine seems to be able to use a sword whever they arent armed with rifles.Could you explain more detailed why 2 people proficient in swords on the crew is bothering you so much?
(Edit: and please noone bring up any lame parallels with Luffy, Franky and chopper using fists… we have heard those a million times already)
-
Because some believe that two swordsman will have nothing or little significance to differ their fights from each other.
-
but he said he had no problem if Brook fought with his cane as a stick instead of a sword… so why would it be better if he went around pokeing people with his cane instead of stabbing them?
since Brook has a fencing fightingstyle he would only be pokeing people in the gut and look pretty darn silly while doeing so. =P
oh dear... im just ranting to myself... since PtRb answered what someone else was thinking i cant argue or discuss it with him =(
-
I couldn't care less about Marines fighting all equal. Screw them.
I'm talking about the Mugiwara. They are the main guys, they are unique among them in their ways, including their fighting styles.He just poking guys with his cane? Why not? Kumadori was pretty good with that Brook would only need to use pure strenght instead of Shigan Q.
If you think about the "non death" policy in One Piece, you will see it makes even more sense. Fencing is not the kind of style that can give great damage without hitting vital spots."Oh, one is using his sword as a rapier. The other uses katana. It's very different!!!"
Yeah, in Rurouni Kenshin, Blade of The Immortal, etc, maybe, since they are based on swords. But in OP… na.Not to mention Brook's style is not only fencing, so the particularities would be almost nothing. If it's only fencing, how did Ryuuma hitted Usopp, Nami and Chopper with the back of the sword?
-
im not for or against brook, but i have a feeling he may be a strawhat, but not a strawhat character, much like vivi. also after he gets his shadow back, he most likely will be traveling in the opposite direction as luffy, seeing how he will probably want to go back to the beginning of the grand line to meet up with laboon again. maybe he will be the next cover story or something.
-
I believe my brother said there were three types of fencing sword.
The best of the three (for the style) is a once use only (it breaks upon impact) because essentially it is long, light and thin, perfect for the agile fencing style. This was designed for the "gentleman challenge" between two gentleman. There is only one shot to kill, the sword breaks leaving you defenceless and so if you don't kill them, they kill you. There are a lot of dodging methods and a lot of offensive with this sword but next to none in defense and it is the best for the fencing stance you take while using it (you hold it out in one hand so there is little supporting the swords weight on your arm).
The strongest of the three I believe is the shortest but has a bladed edge for other purposes. This one is stronger and was designed for more general defensive fighting (say a rival family attacked you). Because of its shortness and heavier weight, you loose a lot of agility with this sword due to being less suitable for the fencing style (more weight on a outstreched hand).
The third is in between the two. Normally swords use slashing motion, but the fencing swords… They are thrusters. Except the short type with the blade. That has some thrustless moves.
-
I don't know. I mean, he had a reason to go to Grand Line. If he left Laboon behind is because there was something he and his friends were going after… maybe Brook will want to do what he and his friends wanted to do before seeing Laboon... if not, all his friends' deaths and Laboon wait would be in vain :/

Brilliant! You have single handidly ended the debate of Brooke returning to Laboon after getting his shadow back! Bravo to you
-
Make no mistake, i want Brook to join as much as i don't want to die, but the only thing i have making me think he might not, is the fact that he hasn't been on a Chapter title page.
Even Nico Robin was when se was temporarily out of the crew.
This makes me fearful of him not joining.
Also, He's the pirate who is Franky's dad! >< -
Well if you read back, the captain of his crew said they were going ona trip around the world and would be back in a few years… So... Yeah whatever.

Well, that's what's been my thoughts exactly. I'm guessing out of the last two nakama, we'll get one in the bottom two tiers, since we don't need anymore on the top level.
I've also assumed Brook's dream and/or flashback would be unrelated to the Laboon thing. Each member of the crew has a job-relavant dream:
Luffy-Captain-Wants to be King of the pirates
Zoro-Swordsman-Wants to be the best swordsman
Sanji-Cook-Wants to find All Blue with fish from all over the world that he could cook
Usopp-Sharpshooter-Wants to be a brave warrior of the sea(relavant since his position is one normally involved in battle)
Nami-Navigator-Wants to make a world map
Chopper-Doctor-Wants to find a something that will cure anything(pancea I think was the term)
Robin-Archeologist-Wants to find the history of the void century
Franky-Carpenter-Wants to see his ship sail all around the world
Brook-Musician-?He doesn't hae to have a job-relavant dream, but it would be cool. And his flashback could be the entire Brook's story beyond him eating the devil fruit(him as a kid, his dream, joining the crew, meeting/leaving Laboon, eventually getting killed in the florian triangle).

i guess… but he said that the reason he kept on living was that promise of returning to laboon. not the promise of getting whatever it was. but maybe they were after one piece as well, so brook could go with the strawhats, then return with luffy, because he also promised he would return to laboon to finish the fight.
-

Excuse me while I sit in the corner with blue lines covering me….
I think Brook may finish his nakama's journey and return to Laboon. That way at least he did what his crew set out to do and he may see it as part of his "I'm sorry" to Laboon.
