Throughout this month, we will be testing new features (like search) so you may experience some hiccups from time to time. We'll try to not be too disruptive...
I did a search and nothing came up but I'm sorry if someone already noted this. Not only is the coming chapter a color page, the issue of JUMP also contains the third Popular Character Ranking! Place your bets anyone?

when was the poll taken?
ooshi78
I'd bet Luffy, Zoro, and Usopp would be the top three, at least I hope Usopp is up there. 
I bet the top three will still be Luffy Zoro, and Sanji. 
If it's not, I just might fall out of my chair. How often do they do these polls, anyway? I'd like to know when it was taken too, so I can know to expect if Franky and Pauly will have had enough time to generate some interesting numbers. 
Dunno when it was taken. I'll check my old JUMPs but I haven't been religious in purchasing them in the states. The promo reads:
"There's no mistaking they're on the verge of death! Will they reach Eneas Lobby!? PLUS Popularity voting results will be presented"
Also there's gonna be a トレなび but it doesn't say what it is related to. Possibly Fighting?
eh….robin? i wouldn't be suprised if franky or cp9 take the spot light behind luffy
Yeah, I was wondering when they were talking about it on 2ch. Is that from entire Jump combined ranking?
= edit
Nvm, I saw tha page, only One Piece.
Here's the page talking about it:
http://raws.kefi.org/random/%5b2005-26%5dPreview02.jpg
Well, it's under the OP category on the usual two-page spread in the back. It doesn't say that it's for all JUMP, but it doesn't say it isn't for OP. Plus it seems about time for another one. It has been quite a while.
There's no mistaking they're on the verge of death!
->
They're in real pinch.
It's a saying.
I don´t know, it depends on when the poll was taken. If it was before the Aqua Laguna the only ones who shined were Franky and CP9 while to some people (NOT TO ME) it may have appeared that the Strawhats have lost their flair. It really depends on knowing when it was.
At least I´m sure that Franky will have high ranking and maybe Lucci if "bastard" lovers voted in the poll.
**There's no mistaking they're on the verge of death!
->
They're in real pinch.It's a saying.**
Don't forget, it's " 'a' real pinch".
絶対絶命！！
I chose to translate it as such. As 絶対 is absolute and unconditional. Not to mention that 絶 is used in such words as 絶壁 indicating the edge of a cliff.
絶命 being literally translated as the 'end of life' or in fact 'death' not to mention the exclamation points, I chose that translation. It certainly packs more punch and sounds a lot more like something JUMP would write to sell an issue rather than the rather weak "They're in a real pinch". ピンチ would also have been used if it were indeed pinch as it is an accepted word in both languages both indicating a crisis.
If you'd like to continue discussing translation ocean, I would be very happy to do it via PM rather than lose the topic 
Wow…the first was put in Vol.7 after Jump....
And the 2nd in Vol.24....
Would this one end up in 38? Or 39?
how was the ranking in vol24?i only know the one from vol7
I expect Franky to be ranked pretty high… possibly lower than 10.
Awesome. Maybe Sanji this time.
Actually, it's not "OP favorite character ranking" but "OP favorite attack ranking", you know.
I heard that's because Oda-sensei hates to rank his characters.
I almost forgot it but the poll was taken 4 months ago.

By the way guys, when did we vote for the favorite strawhat character (in ap front page?) I come here everyday nowadays but have never seen it. And I'm so sad that Nami and Usopp have low votes. I love them both.. 
I think Franky's rank would be higher if the poll was taken around this time now, but if it was taken a few months back, probably not.

Usopp came up the highest on one of the forum polls.

he was equal with sanji
They are now, but he was winning for a long time. That definately is an unusual poll, though. We have lots of Usopp fans on this forum.

I totally understand how he feels. I'm sure he even cares for evil ones like croc or buggy… since he created them. I hate the character ranking, too but I do vote for less popular ones as if I'm afraid those characters might see the poll. (I know it's insane -_-) Anyway it's so boring if everyone likes certain characters, not the others.
I think Oda said that Buggy is his favorite antihero (read on The Grand Line.com)

Usopp came up the highest on one of the forum polls.
Remeber that Usopp vs Zoro poll? That was really close. Maybe 2-3 vote difference. (But Usopp won! DANCE)

Yeah, I remember reading in an interview that he says he never makes characters he doesn't like. Even the evil ones.

oda said in the sbs that he couldnt choose a favrioute because they are all great.
I should pay attention to those pages next time… I always get it, but skip those pages x.x
Cool Character Ranking! That means this weeks ch are going to have color pages!
From thegrandline.com (Thanks omae!)
Buggy is the first pirate villain whom Luffy comes across that actually gets his own arc as a villain. He is, according to the man himself in a US Shonen Jump interview, Oda sensei's favorite anti-hero.
now the question is which source should we believe?the sbs which is most likely from oda himself or that website?
I also remember Oda saying Luffy was his favorite character in an interview.

Good question Günther. I´ll take the sbs since there you get the raw opinion of the artist over something that sounds like a synopsis which in is fundamental basics is always a product of subjective formulation.
Do you know who runs the website? User Omae no Kaasan, who probably knows the most about the damn series than anyone here. He really does his research, he wouldn't put up something that isn't true.
And it doesn't say "ODA SAYS THAT BUGGY IS THE BEST CHARACTER EVER," it says that Buggy is his favorite anti-hero.
the bigot who thinks being an asshole is actually worth shit
i dont think a random ap member knows more about odas opinion than oda himself.
he stated that he dont choose any favrioute op character and yes that includes the "anti-heros".
But that interview could've taken place right after Buggy arc. Opinion changes time to time, too. I used to like Nami the best but now I like Robin the best. So now what? If I were Oda, I just say I love everybody so that later on, there won't be any conflict
I'm guessing from the context he meant out of every anti-hero from any series rather than just One Piece.
Hey no need to get ugly here. Apparently I didn´t know who runs that site, that´s why I made my above statement.
It is a fact that interviews contain more raw thoughts then a synopsis, don´t argue with me about that. That´s why I always prefer the raw stuff over something altered. And as long as I don´t know who did that synopsis it is my god given right to question it.
Apparently we can believe this synopsis since Omae no Kaasan is indeed a very good source of information. It is by no means meant offensive towards Omae no Kaasan. Understand my point of view, the site could have been run by everybody. I`m not born with the information on which website is done by which person so I do that what appears logic in my opinion and that is to question something instead of naively believing everything.
If I´m proven wrong then I admit it and if I´m proven right then it confirms my scepsis. It´s the kind of human I am.
Sorry if I sounded like I was being aggressive, I didn't mean to at all.
And sorry, Omae is just a really respected member that I always thought that everyone knew he ran the site.
It´s ok, no bad blood. I just really didn´t know that it was his site. Friends again?
Want a cookie…and a PEPSI?
OP favorite attack ranking
Ah! Now that you mention it I do remember them asking for favorite attacks but I never thought they'd make this big a deal about it. That's usually stuff that gets stuffed on back pages. I think I have that JUMP so I'll see if I can scan it.
Ah, cool, that reminds me, didn't they also do a ranking on favorite Naruto jutsus?
I really wonder what will win… probably Gomu Gomu no Storm.
the bigot who thinks being an asshole is actually worth shit
Here 'tis. It would be VERY cool if Oda took a nod from what the Naruto person did and draw each of the top ten for the color page. That would be wicked.

Yeah, the Naruto Jutsu rankings have been in the same issues that the character rankings have been.
I'd think the winner would be something more along the lines of one of Luffy's tired and true attacks that have been around the whole series.
oda did say that his favorite character design was that dude in the box, just cuz he was so unique and he had tons of fun drawing him.

he tried to use it against aokiji, but failed.
…and he used it against Crocodile. It kind of beat him.
this weeks jump had a move popularity ranking (as determined by readers).

Yep, that's Sanji's move, no real surprises here. Am I the only one who doesn't really care for sanzen sekai all that much?! :unsure:
