God has answered my prayer! Now I can relax on my trip this Friday knowing that I do not need to rush home to see the chapter!
Chapter 452: "Jigoro of the Wind" Discussion
-
-
It was annoying me that i couldn't click onto the new spoiler chapter but then i realized there's the chapter out already. Man, thanks a lot MQ and everything its great thanks. Go Zombie generals.
Is it presumed Zoro is in that guy with the three swords and the shirt with YOUR SONG on it? Also XD at the title. Gigolos FTW! -
well besides Franky and Robin,Ussop,Nami and Chopper are out in the zombie forest/garden somewhere..so 3 down,5 SH left.
Luffy could be a monkey zombie XD
-
That was quick, thanks!
I want that spider-zombie as the next new nakama. I really do. What was her (I am just randomly claiming it's female, just because it's a spider) name?
Tararan? -
Forgot to mention this, but Gigola's attire is hilarious. He looks like he's wearing a tutu with visible underwear.
-
One more thing. Those that wanted more time with Franky, they're getting that. Its a good thing that only Franky and Robin are left, so they can have more screentime now.
-
I am loving the prospect of a Franky/Robin tag team.
And did you see that HUGE guy with the huge beard in the knight panel? He looks like he has some sort of elephant centaur thing going on. I shotty he's going to be one of Franky's fights. Centaur Franky versus Centaur Elephant.I doubt it. He was a member of the team of thugs that Luffy and co fought. I doubt he's going to emerge out of hte group as a good one on one fighter, or else he would have already.
-
I'm betting his name is Jigoro. I hope he doesn't use Santoryuu, since I like his design and want him to do something unique, but since I doubt Brook is an iai-style swordsman.. I'm not too concerned.
And yeah, this was an awesome chapter. I loved all of the Franky action.
edit: I'm assuming that Captain John isn't down and out, since they seemed to go out of their way to give him more of an "identity." But yeah, I think most of those General Zombies are just chumps.
-
@ultimateclima:
One more thing. Those that wanted more time with Franky, they're getting that. Its a good thing that only Franky and Robin are left, so they can have more screentime now.
I agree. Those two are the ones I am most wanting to see in a real fight. (Especially Robin)
By the way, what is that loin-cloth like thing that the Zoro-like zombie wears called?
Zoro wore similar thing in Chopperman. -
It's always nice to see the chapter before you've had a chance to read
the spoiler, especially for such an awesome chapter… Thanks a lot. -
Gigolo of the Wind? Gigolo….isn't that a term for "man-whore"?
-
Yes yes it is. And he has a hitler mustache.
-
I think the T-shirt he wears is the creepiest thing about him…
-
Many thanks JustIra =)
That was a great chapter. Franky fighting with the zombies was brilliant, Luffy was captured and now Franky and Robin have to face a freaky giant spider-monkey. Can't wait to see what happens next 0_0
-
Here I am waiting for the spoiler when the chapter is out.
I guess I should pay attention. Thanks JustIra. Going to read now.
Interesting title… -
Wow, this was a really exciting chapter. Nice balance between action and setting up the rest of the plot. Franky was awesome, Luffy in the suit of armor was funny, and Gigolo and the spider-monkey look great as well. Can't wait for the next one.
Robin was boring this chapter. She had the least amount of lines and all she can do is use clutch on a zombie? Gyp.
-
Luffy could be a monkey zombie XD
You know the armor may be there to prevent zombification from happening.
Though after reexamining the chapter I realized Luffy's getting molested by the zombie men, so yeah.
-
@JustIra and Rai: thanks a lot!
it's really great to see robin kick ass… and franky's on the roll too..
-
Robin was boring this chapter. She had the least amount of lines and all she can do is use clutch on a zombie? Gyp.
Hahaha. I agree.
-
What the– so early? I am appalled! Thanks JustIra and everybody else who provided the chapter.
And now.. To the Translationmobile!! -
What the hell? Did I just see a Zoro/mummy zombie? And is that huge spider monkey a Luffy zombie? WTF IS GOING ON!?!?!?
-
What the– so early? I am appalled! Thanks JustIra and everybody else who provided the chapter.
And now.. To the Translationmobile!!Oooooooh!! Translationmobile! =O
~Lazzie: The monkey-spider one is the one who trapped Sunny, I think, so Luffy's zombie is still not here yet.
It seems you're very surprised ^^ You should get to the spoiler thread once in a while. Stuff like that are discussed way before. -
poor zoro.
We knew that his personality was going to get infused into something ridiculous, but really…
A diapered, rubber tire tutu wearing, hitler-stached, pop music groupie with salaryman tall black socks and an undead okama-swan hat named "gigolo of the wind?"
I really really reaaaallly hope zoro meets this guy before he's taken down. Maybe he'll get lost, run out into the forest and randomly encounter zoro there.
-
The spidermonkey could definitely be Luffy, but e-gad!!! Dr. Hogback works fast, b/c they just captured Luffy. Unless, we assume they need to capture them, when maybe they don't. Maybe they can steal the shadows w/o them knowing.
Sanji always walks off on his own, and Zoro always gets lost; also, Luffy always ends up doing his own thing as well. hmmmm… is Oda trying to mislead us??? -
And is that huge spider monkey a Luffy zombie?
I don't see how that could be the case, the spider appeared when Luffy was apparently still just being taken to the place the spider guards.
EDIT: Zoro-zombie has three swords. Does this mean that the zombie gets the figtingstyle of the person whose shadow is used to animate it? (If the zombies indeed are brought to life that way)
Does it mean, that if Ruyma has Brook's shadow, Brook fights with a sword? Or is the zombies' fighting style influenced by both the shadow and the body?
If Brook fights with a sword, I don't think he will join the crew, since there already is a swordsman.
Allthough, we don't really know enough to speculate like that… -
Robin was boring this chapter. She had the least amount of lines and all she can do is use clutch on a zombie? Gyp.
she isnt not the person that talks alot but youre right
and she overuses her clutch -
Wow this chapter is great and it came out so fast compared to the last several but I'm sure there was one time when it's come out as early as Monday.
At first I thought they had already beaten a Zombie General and Luffy took it's armor but I guess that's not the case since he just found that one laying around. I hope this one doesn't get smashed to bits like his last one.
-
And here I thought that the Sanji zombie was bad…
The Zoro Zombie (ZZ :D) has a lower number than some other general zombies. It could be a proof that the body of a zombie is created before they find a suitable soul.
EDIT: Zoro has 850 and the centaurus 889 -
Gotta like the literal spider monkey.
-
damn I love this arc
and Franky pulls out his Guitar again
all is looking up
-
thanks for the early chapter!
Great chapter and an even more Awsome arc!!!
-
@raj:
You know the armor may be there to prevent zombification from happening.
Though after reexamining the chapter I realized Luffy's getting molested by the zombie men, so yeah.
and for all we know the armor may not help and there's going to be a zombie luffy knight.XDand now there's a Elephant knight XD
Ok I just read this chapter, and when I saw the santoryuu(Sp?) sword zombie.. all I can do is this…O.O blinks XD!
this whole arc was gone really wierd now... think the spider monkey is cool though -

The Zoro Zombie (ZZ :D) has a lower number than some other general zombies. It could be a proof that the body of a zombie is created before they find a suitable soul.
EDIT: Zoro has 850 and the centaurus 889It raises certain questions. The zombie that Hogback was working on a few chapters back was #741, but we're already seeing zombies with much higher numbers. He might have felt that older zombie could have been improved on, or maybe even was retooling it because he felt it was close in spirit to one of the strawhats (making for a suitable shadow host).
Not that there is anything close to Sanji in that Penguin.
-
Ugh, I need translation batman!

Perhaps once he saw Franky he brought out the Frankenstein to prep it for Franky's shadow?
-
Heh, I just noticed that mr. Primantula has an old fashioned pilots hood…with studs! As well as what looks like a string of bombs. And is singing!
+3 awesomness points right there.And I think it's impossible for the spider to be Luffy; after all, his coffin is coated in what seems to be webbing. My guess is that the spider lurked in the top of the General zombie camp, sealed off Luffy in the coffin when he'd gotten captured, and then headed off to stop Franky and Robin from intercepting it.
-
poor zoro.
We knew that his personality was going to get infused into something ridiculous, but really…Word.
(Cheers to JustIra and the timely arrival of the Translationmobile!)
Hey Zoro, you've got charazzma!
-
Nice chapter.
Mr Moria has quite an efficient system for zombiefication it seems!
Maybe we can finally see him next chapter! (I think he might look very similar to buhi/oinkchuck - there teeth and grins seem too uncanny).
-
Gigolo looks more like the old man possessed by Kami sama during the tenkaichi budokai than Hitler. Don't get your panties in a bunch.
-
Looks like a great chapter.
No anti-Franky comments this time, folks.
-
After thinking about it for a while, I realized that there is a species of monkey called the spider monkey. I guess that was just too much for Oda to pass up on. I wonder who will dissappear next.
-

yeah i think the mustache is more to better fit the character into the "oyaji" stereotype…
...which is kind of funny, because Zoro always wore "oyaji" clothes (waistband, white shirt with buttoned collar)
-

Oh you dont say?
I wonder who will dissappear next.
Honestly I think the Disappearing is over with.
I mean if they got luffy, Captured Sanji and Zoro, and have team usopp cornerd. They just about got all the SH's on the ropes.
-
Huh. I guess after Enies Lobby, its Franky and Robin's time to rescue everyone.
Also, the zombies seem to be pretty damn resilient. This is going to be an interesting arc…
-
I don't think "spider monkeys" are a species, but a genus. But why I have a feeling I am the only person who cares about stuff like that?
-
Meh, actually I wasn't in the mood of translating today. So busy… but I'll do it anyways. At times it's a bit less super literal than usual, I'm sorry. Please enjoy in any case!!
One Piece Chapter 452: "Jigoroh of the Wind"
[^ Note: I've decided to call him "Jigoroh" instead of "Gigolo". My dictionary says Gigolo = ジゴロ, but it's actually ジゴロウ, which would pass as a male Japanese name. Also, a character like THAT being called "Gigolo" is just TOO wrong]45201
Enel's Great Space Strategy Vol 20: "Suffocated by the moon watching-dumpling, a parting with tears"

Franky: Forgive me!! I didn't intend to go as far as changing my heart when changing to iron!!45203
Franky: --- to lose such an important thing, a draft is blowing in my heart... please listen to this song:

Oinkchuck: Do they actually understand their situation?Robin: .....
Oinkchuck: Oink oink
Luffy: A hall?
Luffy: Are there Usopp and the others!?

Franky: That ring fence is pretty useless......!!!
Franky: He's totally different from the zombies we met up until now!Oinkchuck: Oink oink oink oink oink!! Now you get what you deserve!!
Oinkchuck: That's the fearsomeness of true zombies!! Even if they break apart
Luffy: Hey! You, talking from so far away!
Oinkchuck: it doesn't hurt or even tickle!! During their lifetime every single one of these
Oinkchuck: armed General Zombies has made a name for themselves with being vigorous warriors!!! Oink!!Oinkchuck: One country's knight's group leaders, fiendish felons
Oinkchuck: A legendary samurai!! A pirate!! A gunslinger!!
Oinkchuck: And now imagine these guys being immortal!!! [immortal / invulnerable / insensible to pain]Oinkchuck: There's no way you guys could possibly win!! Oink oink oink!!!
Oinkchuck: Actually not a single one of your friends is safe! That's what you get!!45210
Luffy: YOU-!!
Oinkchuck: Wall zombie!!
Oinkchuck: (small bubble) Oink oink!!Wall zombie: YO!
Luffy: Ah!!Luffy: The way is blocked!!
Robin: When the way is blocked… there's just no going back.
Franky: If I was to speak from experience now...
Luffy: UUWHOOOW!!!Franky: I'd say.....
Franky: it's gonna be beyond "tough".....!!! [< I'm avoiding to phrase it "too hard"]
Luffy: It's full of armors!!!45211
Franky: Contrary to just a single one, an attack won't affect them in any way.
Franky: If we try taking them on all at the same time we're just gonna get annihilated.
Luffy: Yeah, you're right. And this isn't even the last battle.Robin: If we directly escape this hall… perhaps we get to the courtyard.
GZs: GET EM!!!
Luffy: Okay! Then, let us three meet there later on
Luffy: I kinda don't want yet another one of us get lost!! [< not too literal but oh well]
Robin: Huhu… yeah.All: LET'S GO!!!

what if Moria is Saul, since it seems everyone but Robin is getting removed from the picture, and his betrayal at Ohara would have probably net him a huge ass bounty
-
So let me get this strieght, an original body gets trapped in a coffin before the zombie replacement shows up right? So Sanji, Zoro, Brooke, and Luffy are trapped in a coffin by now while the zombie replacement runs around?
If not, I wonder what happens if all the SH pirates becomes zombies? Or is Oda have been overdose with weed?
-
what if Moria is Saul, since it seems everyone but Robin is getting removed from the picture, and his betrayal at Ohara would have probably net him a huge ass bounty
NO. Just… no.
And what are you doing in this week's chapter?
