      Okay, so the whole point to this topic? - Your first presumptions on characters, the storyline, and so forth. You know, back in the days when even the experts didn't know everything about One Piece, and certain storylines and characters that are popular now, hadn't even appeared yet.

      For instance, the inspiration for this topic came from the fact I used to strongly believe that Smoker was Zorro's Dad, and when I didn't know a name for Bellamy, so I used to refer to him as "Bullet-Man." - Just generally, things that make me feel like such an idiot to think back on, now. Even Zorro's childhood friend Kuina being Tashigi, and so forth, as a better example of confusion.

      So, get nostalgic, and share those exciting newbie experiences!

          I thought some characters I didn't know the names of were like characters from some books I read for English. Don't ask.

          Rappin' Chopper:

          "Yo; I was a reindeer livin' out in 'da snow! But then this old geeza' doctor brought me into his home! After healin' my wounds, I felt real phat. Then, old docta' Hiruk gave me this blingin' hat! My family beat me, shunt me, but it's all tight. Because I'm doin' my doctor remedies all night. I look like freak with my Human Human fruit. But now I'm with some gangsta' pirates who like to steal loot! All the girls like my blue nose. Yeah; it's the way that I get the Record scratching. Usopp's the guy with all 'da glory. He's my main man with all his tight stories. Zolo's Santoryu skills are on ice. You betta' watch out, or you gonna get sliced! Sanji's the cook servin' up the main dish. Don't mess with him, unless that's your wish. Luffy's 'da captain with the straw hat! His Gum Gum skills are real real tight. Vivi's the princess of Alabasta. Now we gotta head there, and we betta' do it faster!"

            I thought Sanji would be a very cheerful guy who would gladly whip up exciting meals for anyone.

            As soon as he met Nami though.. I knew how things would turn out. 🙂

              I started on One Piece pretty late, and got into fandom right away, so I don't have too many of these.

              1. "This show is probably going to be really repetitious and get old fast like Ranma 1/2".

              Boy, I'm glad I was so wrong about that. ^_^

              1. I thought Coby was going to be a permenant main character (also glad he wasn't)

              2. I assumed they wouldn't get to the Grand Line until the end of the series. I didn't think they would spend most of the series there.

              3. When I first saw Miss Wednesday, I had seen Vivi before, but I didn't think it was really her. I thought to myself, "you would think they'd have a little more variety in character design."

              That's all I can think of at the moment.

                  That's also one I was guilty of, too. Admittedly.

                  And as for Skypiea, well, I wasn't expecting that at all… even if I was, I thought it would've came before the Grand Line.

                    When i first saw usopp i thought he was a girl and Italian. i still think he's Italian though.

                    Because of a HK sub i thought Robin's name was Robert

                        OMG, I remember a time in which I thought Robin was called Smoker, actually.

                        As for HK subs, well.. they tend to confuse things altogether, like.. in the set I have, almost every character name is different to the actual true name, in some way.

                        I mean, even Smoker is called Colonel Smoke, sometimes. Which isn't so bad, considering Usopp is always called Crook/Liar/Cheat Bu. I guess they translated it directly, using the liar pun, too.

                          1. I thougth Coby would remined with Luffy but he's not.

                          2. I thougth Buggy was a ghost, but I found out later that he was not

                          3. I thougth Luffy was cursed to die because of the skull in the title, I even thougth One Piece was about Luffy figthing off people who wants to kill him or a death-realated situtition
                          (Yet I did not read Japanese and it's actully a pirate story)

                          4. I thougth the Strawhats are somewhere in the Grandline between West and North Blue Before that I thougth Whiskey Peak was in Redline. I was like "Wow, why won't the go east?"

                          5. I thougth Alabasta was on the Redline as the Strawhats are crossing it, I thougth "Wow, how will they get there ship to the other side?"

                          6. CP9: Shadowy Cult

                          7. Nico Robin Possessed

                          8. "Is the Raindeer named Sanji?"

                          9. Unluckies: Vulture: Mr 13, Otter: Ms. Friday

                          10. I too thougth the Grandline was not going to be reached untie the end,

                          11. Because I was confuse with chapter 332 and 337, I was messed up on the Franky and Usopp battle. I thougth Luffy was actully figthing Franky in chapter 332 but it was Usopp, I thougth it was not really Usopp untie I read Stephen's script carefully and read Oceanizer's script. I did not found out my error untie I realized Oceanizer does not have chapter 332 in his site but Stephen's site did. Because of my confusion I thougth Usopp ate the Devil Fruit. I had mixed chapter 332 with chapter 337.

                          12. When One Piece frist popped up on the Toei site in 1999, I thougth it's just a Toei-invented series like Digimon. At that time I did not know Salior Moon and Dragon Ball Z was based on the Manga. Because I thougth Toei was the authors of these stories and I was like "MMM…that show(One Piece) does not look promising as Digimon. It's no good show. I think it will last 52 episode" But 5 years later, I was reading a Dragon Ball Z manga and I saw the picture of Luffy on the advistisment page, and the series was on American television, I checked the TV Tome site on that series and discovered Arlongpark.com and I was SHOCKED that the series was still running! I thougth it should ended 5 years back. I later dicovered the American One Piece manga in a mall and I saw the name "Eiichiro Oda". That is when I found out the series was manga-based and Oda is still writing the series. Shocking.

                          13. When I saw Sanji in the opening screen in the anime I saw him spinning around, knocking down his enemies with his feet, judging by how his legs stracthed, I was like " Did that guy ate the Gum Gum Fruit?"

                          14. When I frist saw Sanji in the group picture in TV Tome site, I thougth that was Helmeppo because Sanji is nearly blurry in that picture.

                          15. I thougth series would be like Dragon Ball Z where charcters shoots energy and glow with power but none are there (thus disappointing me) But I enjoyed how the story is told and I enjoyed the character flexibility.

                            Lessee…

                            -I had this silly little belief that Usopp was a thoroughly unpleasant fellow. That was before I knew anything about him apart from the way he looked (all assumptions based on AMVs I saw before seeing Kuro arc). I really thought he was a stupid character. Not lame, surprisingly enough, just stupid. He later proved to be pretty much the opposite of everything I thought he was. I still feel bad for thinking that about him.

                            -I also thought that the main characters were twentysomethings or even thirtysomethings. Thinking back, I have no idea how that belief came to be. Especially with Luffy and Usopp.

                            -I thought Robin was the name of "the girl with blue hair" before I was introduced to either fo them. This was because I kept randomly hearing of a girl/woman named Robin who was a part of the crew, while randomly finding pictures of Vivi with the Strawhats.

                            -When I first saw Tashigi in the preview thing of the first TV special, I went "...but Kuina's dead! Who is this woman that looks like Kuina?". In my defence, it fooled my little sister, too.

                            • I thought Ace's full name was Puma D. Ace. Later I saw some site list it as Ace's English name, but I really don't know anything about that.

                            • During the Buggy arc I was hoping that future fights wouldn't be so long. Althought the hope for shorter fights is there to an extent, I wouldn't give a moment of any fight away, not even the ones in Buggy arc.

                            That's all I can think of now, but I'm sure there was more. I'm the queen of mistaken assumptions.

                              I used to think Luffy was functionally retarded. Hell, I sometimes forget that he isn't retarded.

                              He just has ADD with ADHD :lol:

                                Hmm let's see… The only time I remeber where I made a presumption and was genuinely suprised it wasn't true was that I thought Usopp was a filler character and he wasn't. He didn't really seem to have any special talent that whould be benificial to a pirate crew at the time. I'm glad he joined though. ^^

                                Other than that, I thought Chopper was going to be another generic anime sidekick. You know, the ones that don't really do anything but make animal noises and cute-up the whole series.

                                    For a while, cos of the use of perspective, I believed Sanji's impressive kicks meant "everyone in this world can stretch their body"

                                        Here's quite a funny one of mine, I guess.

                                        I can't really speak Japanese, and during Sanji's ending on Grand Battle 3, the GameCube game, it shows him handing that fairytale book to Cricket, the book about his ancestor. Before that, it shows Sanji as a child in the kitchen, holding the book in his hand, which shows the smiling face of Cricket's ancestor, which then cuts to Cricket looking rather aggressive.

                                        I thought this was funny, as maybe the person on the book was Cricket when he was younger, or something.

                                        Anyhow, Cricket then says something in Japanese along the lines of, "Are you a fan, then?" from what basic words I know, one of which was literally just 'fan', in English terms. "Omae wo/mo Fan, nano ka?", or something along those lines.

                                        Anyhow, I figured that, due to that weird chestnut or whatever it is on Cricket's head, he was some sort of Master Chef, that Sanji used to admire as a child. And those two apes, Masira and Shoujo, were his kitchen helpers, or something. So, to me, it looked like Sanji had asked this famous Chef he admired for an autograph, on what I could only assume was a Cook Book written by Cricket as a younger man.

                                        Yeah, well. Was I wrong or what?

                                          I thought Bon clay would join the Strawhats after the Alabasta arc, when he goes up to they're ship to talk to them 😉

                                            When i read through it the first time, i thought luffy was already on the grandline, so once they actually headed for the gandline, i was like "whaaa?"

                                              When i first saw usopp i thought he was a girl and Italian. i still think he's Italian though.

                                              Hehe, I think he's based off Italian heritage too. 😄 But maybe that's my own Italian genes talking. This probably doesn't really fit with the topic, but for the record, when I first saw a picture of Usopp, I thought he looked incredibly stupid and I thought I'd really hate him. (GASP!).

                                                  1. I assumed they wouldn't get to the Grand Line until the end of the series. I didn't think they would spend most of the series there.

                                                  ...

                                                  That's also one I was guilty of, too. Admittedly.

                                                  Other than that, I thought Chopper was going to be another generic anime sidekick. You know, the ones that don't really do anything but make animal noises and cute-up the whole series.

                                                  _Me too! I remember not wanting to read the Drum Island arc because of it. It's still not one of my faves, but Chopper is a much, much better character than I figured.

                                                  Also:
                                                  The first thing I knew about Luffy was that he is a 17 year old fool, kinda like myself today. But, I figured he'd be very masculine, and was severely disappointed when I found out he's girly-voiced.

                                                  I skipped over the Baratie arc at first because there wasn't enough action. I stopp at 22, 2 episodes before Mihawk, and shortly before the kickass battle with Krieg's pirates, which includes probably my favorite East Blue fight, with the Don himself.

                                                  Franky's the small fry, Ice is the main villain of this arc.__

                                                      I first saw the Drum arc in raw Japanese, and I thought Vivi was Ussop's girlfriend because of how overly concerned she was when she digs him out after the avalanche. I was like "Aaw, isn't that nice, the ugly guy's got a pretty girl."

                                                      It turns out I wasn't totally wrong though. Ussop is the only one in the crew with a sorta-girlfriend.

                                                        Hehe, I think he's based off Italian heritage too. 😄 But maybe that's my own Italian genes talking. This probably doesn't really fit with the topic, but for the record, when I first saw a picture of Usopp, I thought he looked incredibly stupid and I thought I'd really hate him. (GASP!).

                                                        I think Usopp is more Mediterranean than Italian but he could be Southern Italian.

                                                          I first saw the Drum arc in raw Japanese, and I thought Vivi was Ussop's girlfriend because of how overly concerned she was when she digs him out after the avalanche. I was like "Aaw, isn't that nice, the ugly guy's got a pretty girl."

                                                              Well, when my boyfriend saw a small picture of her on my desktop (you can't see her chest) he wasn't sure if she was a he or she, either.

This was because the first episodes of OP I saw were Drum where she was unconcious most of the time, and she'd only make 'hum' type noises. And then I saw episode 1, and it was the same.

                                                                    It took a couple of years before I continued with the series, and then I figured out Nami could actually talk. B)

                                                                        i was wrong, but its so cool and interesting all the islands on the Grandline.

                                                                        It took me a while to get how the Grandline worked, i thought u could juz sail in from teh side, lol didnt see the calm belt:p

                                                                        Thanks terri for the awesome sig!! Your awesome!!

I think I was sort of shoving Bon Clay into the Davy Back Fight arc, since I had no knowledge of him and little to no knowledge of either of the aforementioned arcs.

                                                                            Originally posted by CosmicDebris@Jun 26 2005, 02:50 AM

                                                                            I already said it, but that's what happened with me. I was really annoyed by his excistance and was pretty much hoping he'd leave as soon as possible. And now… watch me cry every time I read/watch that fight. Usopp is my favourite Strawhat and I love him to death.

                                                                              Rappin' Chopper:

After healin' my wounds, I felt real phat. Then, old docta' Hiruk gave me this blingin' hat! My family beat me, shunt me, but it's all tight. Because I'm doin' my doctor remedies all night. I look like freak with my Human Human fruit. But now I'm with some gangsta' pirates who like to steal loot! All the girls like my blue nose. Yeah; it's the way that I get the Record scratching. Usopp's the guy with all 'da glory. He's my main man with all his tight stories. Zolo's Santoryu skills are on ice. You betta' watch out, or you gonna get sliced! Sanji's the cook servin' up the main dish. Don't mess with him, unless that's your wish. Luffy's 'da captain with the straw hat! His Gum Gum skills are real real tight. Vivi's the princess of Alabasta. Now we gotta head there, and we betta' do it faster!"

                                                                                I can also remember punching my desk in anger after realising Usopp was the next crew member. Shortly after I read the Usopp and Chopper vs Penguin and Mr 4 and he became one of my favourite characters.

                                                                                Yeah, Chopper was a teddy bear when I first saw him in pictures.

                                                                                I also thought Skypeia would be awesome after I saw a picture of God Eneru.

                                                                                      Rappin' Chopper:

After healin' my wounds, I felt real phat. Then, old docta' Hiruk gave me this blingin' hat! My family beat me, shunt me, but it's all tight. Because I'm doin' my doctor remedies all night. I look like freak with my Human Human fruit. But now I'm with some gangsta' pirates who like to steal loot! All the girls like my blue nose. Yeah; it's the way that I get the Record scratching. Usopp's the guy with all 'da glory. He's my main man with all his tight stories. Zolo's Santoryu skills are on ice. You betta' watch out, or you gonna get sliced! Sanji's the cook servin' up the main dish. Don't mess with him, unless that's your wish. Luffy's 'da captain with the straw hat! His Gum Gum skills are real real tight. Vivi's the princess of Alabasta. Now we gotta head there, and we betta' do it faster!"

                                                                                        Yeah, I was thinking something similar to that, because that's what it sounds like when Coby is describing it. "A graveyard of battleshipts" or something like that. That's why I thought there were going there at the end. I thought it was going to be like entering a battlefield. I'm glad it wasn't, though. The whole thing about how the Grand Line works is part of what makes the story really interesting.

                                                                                        That creates some funny imagery. "Damn!" punches desk NOT THE LONG NOSE GUY NOOOO!"

I really like the Jaya part and when they arrive in Skypiea, it's around the preist battles that I don't like so much.

                                                                                                When I first saw Luffy's strecthing powers I thought to myself "Mr. Fantastic ripoff" but then I realized Luffy couldn't automaticlly stretch without throwing so force into it (i.e: he as has to pull back a body part to attack like his Bazooka move) like a real rubberband and found this very unique in a way. Kudos to Oda for breaking the mold.

                                                                                                    Yeah, I thought his long nose was freaky, and that he would ruin the series when he came in, but now I like him.

                                                                                                    I also thought grandline was just a line of pirate ships tied together where everyone fought constantly.

                                                                                                    I thought Baroque Works was a group of bounty hunting pirates that were after the strawhats
                                                                                                    I thought Vivi and Kalue stayed with the crew, but that was mostly because every website I when I got into OP listed them as crewmembers.
