- The list says Hawk-Eye multiple times. Strange that Viz had it differently. I'll see what I can learn.
- Holy
- Yeah, that's one thing we had to fix recently. We did lots of research and presented lots of info to get them approved.
- Either racoon or raccoon-dog, I can't remember off the top of my head. Probably the latter.
BTW just looked and All Blue is definitely confirmed to be back to normal.

@ThegreatPirateKing:
Also Mato, since you work at Funi, you must see/hear Funi's VAs. So what would think of Vic Mignogna as Usopp/Luffy?
And just out of interest, while things like "gum gum" and "chop chop" fruit are left the same, do you think that future fruits (e.g. noro) will be left as is in the subs (noro noro fruit)
Thanks in advance if answered!
I'm not a "regular" employee, just a lowly contract employee so I have almost no contact with anyone. You guys are probably just as connected with the VAs as I am I also tend to mostly watch the sub tracks of stuff (studying other translators helps increase my translation power level, oh god I suddenly feel like I'm the main character of a shonen anime ) so I don't watch dubs all that often, so I dunno what to say.
I'm not sure what's going to happen with future terms. It might be that we get to define them, or maybe a new list will be given to us later. So it all depends on that really. Since we're already translating the fruit names out for all 50-60 eps of Skypiea/G8 so far, I'd probably want to stay consistent with that.

Ah my bad, I knew should've double checked my copy of Volume 6 before posting, it does indeed say "Hawk-Eye" (although there is a part where it says "Hawk Eye" in the Character Introductions) no biggie although I personally think Hawkeyes is more fitting as it's all about his eyes that intimidate his opponents. With Hawk-eye I think of Sharpshooters (like the Marvel hero or the FMA character) and the sarcastic MAS*H doctor.
And I forgot to ask one thing, what about Kairouseki? 4Kids called it "The Sea Prism Stone" in Alabasta (yes I checked it this time) :p.
-
Yeah, it's Sea Prism Stone or some such.

Sea Prism Stone? Why not just Sea Stone? It's easier. Stupid 4kids.

everything sounds great, IMO.:happy:
small question: will one of zoros swords still be Kitesu III or will it go to Sandai kitesu?
It shows Mihawk as Dracule mihawk in Vol 6 Viz US edition

Just two cents from an illiterate, but the term used is something like "Kairoseki." I know that "kai" is the sea and "seki" is the stone, so I'd assume the "ro" ties into a prism or something.

Looks like Kitetsu III and/or Kitetsu the Third.

"Sea Prism Stone" sounds fine to me.
By the way guys, not to sound like a mod (I apologize in advance) but I think now the dub-talk is getting a little bigger in this thread than it is in the thread that's actually dedicated to that subject. I think we should bring it back to questions for Mato and the subtitle-side of things, myself included.

I agree. I wish they would announce the voice cast and show us some clips some time soon though, as while name translations are important, voice acting, direction, and script matter more in determining a dubs quality.
I still think having to use dub terms for the subs is retarded, however… >_>

We'll hopefully get an announcement about the cast at AnimeExpo. Also I completely agree that dub terms shouldn't be used for the subs. The subs are for the Japanese version and should be accurate translations for it. Using dub terms in the subs makes them completely unnaccurate and that's not fair. Fans shouldn't get screwed over again. We deserve to be getting a perfect release after what 4Kids did to the show.

How would that even work as Luffy? Somehow I'm not hearing Luffy at all, but I hear a potential Usopp if he changed it a little.

I'm currently getting ready for bed, but I'm anxiously awaiting the upcoming Anime Expo! Since I won't actually be attending it, I'll just watch YouTube like a hawk, since someone will HOPEFULLY be lucky enough to tape the "big surprise" that FUNi has in store.

Heso!
I am truly glad that 4Kids never got their hands on Water 7 and Enies Lobby. I really like Franky and I think that Sonny Strait would be neat for him too. Also I really like all the members of CP9 expect for maybe Spandam so I am so glad that they never got to touch them either. It will be neat to hear who gets to be CP9 down the road.

Hahaha! That sounds like what they'd do, too…!
As for the Sea Prism Stone thing, I think, honestly, it was changed/translated that way to fit the mouth flaps.
Kai-ro-seki
Sea-Prism-Stone
Sea-StoneThe last one leaves a flap.

Guys if you want Vic to be Usopp so much, why not just write to FUNimation and request that he is cast as Usopp? I'm sure a bunch of letters will cinch the deal.
I think FUNimation stated that they were watching OP fans online to gauge their reaction, so I would think that without a doubt they're browsing the AP Forums as guests. We probably have more influence on the new dub than most people realize.

Anywho, on topic. This is not the speculation thread. This is an FAQ and Suggestion thread not a "I love this VA OMGS!!11!" thread. Wet yourselves somewhere else.
Please, surprise me and from this point on…. don't go off-topic. I know it sounds impossible with this group. But try.
So Mato, if you are actually reading this shit-hole of a thread still, a random question to get things rolling again.
Are there gonna be Next Time segments on the DVDs? I know they are left out for DB and DBZ. Have you had to translate any. I assume there will be.
I'm sorry if it has been answered, too much shit to go through for me to care to look (I think you did mention it, I just wanted to nudge the topic back in order a little). -
"I think FUNimation stated that they were watching OP fans online to gauge their reaction"
That would be great if true. I hope they get a good voice for Luffy.
