One Piece Volume Z confirmed as a present in One Piece Film Z
-
-
Today is a good day
-
Couple of things…
Captain Coby and apparently a Rokushiki user now.
Lieutenant Commander Helmeppo.The page annouces a TV anime original episode that takes place before the Film Z.
Overseen by Oda himself. -
So apparently we get to see Coby/Helmeppo in the anime before the manga?? Kewl.
Everyone keep yer eyes peeled for the original episodes!
-
Theoretically Coby/Helmeppo could be in the manga volume. I know I'm hoping for focus on the world in between the two years. This would be a great way to learn about the Marines without cutting away from the crew's adventures, and Z was an old Marine officer.
With this though I wonder how/if movie Z will be considered "canon" or if it'll be another Strong World scenario.
-
And about Volume Z, Aohige?
-
So Helmeppo now has two ranks below Coby right?
I thought he'd be Commander
-
Well at least Coby is still WAAAY below Luffy and Co… not as soem people thought he magically will be close to Luffy level.
-
Holy crap yes.
We can now expect the tie-in tv episodes to be miles better than last year's crap given Oda's involvement. Awesome.
Huzzah for Captain Coby and Lieutenant Cmdr. Helmeppo.
Thanks redon and Aohige.

Good thing Oda knows very well what he's doing unlike those people, lol.
-
Sounds cool. Neat to learn Coby and Helmeppo's current positions, been wondering what they would be. Will be looking forward to both the special chapter and the episode.
-
Any ideas when it should be released? even at a guess…

I guess when the film airs. I think it's a present at the theatres like Volume 0.

makes sense, thanks.
-
Considering his growth rate before the time-skip I was expecting Coby to have changed a lot, but he hasn't. Regardless, I'm not complaining, him and Helmeppo have got pretty sweet new designs and Volume Z sounds awesome! Great way for Oda to show us the marines and the rest of the world without taking away from the Straw Hats as Gizmo said.
-

Well, he does seem older. His eyes have narrowed, not being typical round eyes anymore, and he actually seems to have gotten taller than Helmeppo. Apparently, Luffy is the only one who stays a little midget. :P
-
And about Volume Z, Aohige?
It's basically just a film pamphlet with illustrations and prizes, no actual manga or whatnot.
-
so.. is the char model used in film Z considered as canon in the manga? if that's the case it means that we already got time skip kizaru kuzan and the duo (cobymeppo).
It's basically just a film pamphlet with illustrations and prizes, no actual manga or whatnot.
so its like a databook special for the film then? but we still got a special chapter and anime episode right like chapter/episode 0 right?
-
Holy crap yes.

True that..: True that… but at the end in the final war he will magically become pirate king Luffy level or even fleet admiral Akainu level
-
Who are those three characters in the red speech bubble on this page http://www.imagebam.com/image/254b08217657625
-
Wait, so there's no manga tie-in like with Strong World?

We don´t know, when Volume 0 was announced Shueisha didn´t tell nothing about chapter 0 but Volume 0 included it.
If Oda makes another special chapter in next weeks, Volume Z will have it too ^^
-
Captain Coby and Lieutenant Commander Helmeppo! Those are some sweet titles.
I can't wait to see Coby again after the timeskip. -
I was right about Coby's rank! ^^
-
Great news, good to see those two again
-
Anyone notice that Helmeppo is beginning to look a bit like Bogart?
-
coby is also shaking his fist
garp and bogart v2
-
with that bandana Coby looks like a rockstar
-
So Coby is a captain now, eh? That's good to hear, and his design looks awesome as well. It's also great to hear that he is a true rokushiki user now instead of just a soru user like before, not mention that he should be capable of using haki to boot.
Can't wait to see what he is capable of now! :D
-
Good to see Coby and Helmeppo have been promoted. Slowly but surely, they're improving.
….heh, I always thought Akainu would kick Coby out, or something negative, considering the latter tried to stop his assualt during the war and openly oppose his tactics.
-
Captain Coby. How awesome is that? I really like his design, he looks cool.
-
Hey, Coby's a captain, that's cool, ch. 0 was excellent so looking forward to this, if there's a chapter.

Well I think Akainu had to admit that what Coby did took alot of guts and he did it for his sense of justice so I think that from a commanders point of view Coby is an excellent soldier to have.
-
Guys, I open this thread to talk about Volume Z. I think you can talk about Koby and Helmeppo in One Piece Film Z thread, even you can open another thread in Anime subforum to talk about new Anime filler arc in December ^^
-
Coby also being a Captain kind of undermines Tashigi's development. They're now pretty much equals even though Coby started his career much later and was (or still is) the target of the new Fleet Admiral's wrath.
-
Volume Z? With Red Pirates as the cover???? Me want!!
If it contains a manga chapter it will be a completely must. I really hope it contains some more information on how the Marines changed the past two years.
-
Franky… please don't wear pink underwear. Its a bit close to your skintone.
Guys, I open this thread to talk about Volume Z.
It would help if there was anything to look at currently aside from the promo sheet.
-
Hahahaha The One Piece wiki is treating Coby and Hemp's Promotion as non canon xDDD
And people wonder why no one respects the Wiki.

I like to think its more likely that as soon as Akainu got the Fleet Admiral gig he began assigning Coby and Helmeppo to the frontlines of very dangerous battles in hopes that they would get killed. Two years latter, his cunning plan still backfired in every way possible. Not only are they still alive, they also achieved fame and recognition for their strength and valor in combat.

Yeah, I felt that way too, but this explains it pretty well:

And I suppose Tashigi could always get another promotion. She went up the ranks like crazy too!

To be fair, the movie's not out yet. Not canon until we see it, I guess.
-
It kinda bothers me that Strong World and this movie are considered canon. They just don't seem to fit anywhere.
-
Strong World's between Thriller Bark and Sabaody, assuming Zoro didn't overexert himself (and to be honest, he only got the one fight and Chopper's a good doctor). I choose to believe Film Z is because Zoro was allowed to drive the Sunny, got them lost so they could go on an adventure, and then they ended up in front of Punk Hazard.
-
My memory isn't the best, but was Shiki mentioned during the Impel Down arc in the manga? I know he was mentioned in the anime.
-
Yup, he was.
Chapter 530:
Also, don't consider the movies stories canon if that bother you that much.
Just the elements they include, et voila. -
I wouldn't mind a special chapter at all.
Maybe I'll even care about the movie then ;)
-

Yes but Luffy is now on the level of many VA and he started out way below them. Tashigi also didn't get trained under Garp who was at least in the past stronger than Rayleigh.
-
True that..: True that… but at the end in the final war he will magically become pirate king Luffy level or even fleet admiral Akainu level
Oh, I do think he'll become just that. Not magically though, but he'll definitely get there.
Wait, so there's no manga tie-in like with Strong World?
Yeah, I'm quite disappointed. Still crossing my fingers for a special chapter though.

Not at all. Remember, Garp, freaking GARP, has been training these two. Hell, even Sengoku might even have a hand in those 2 years worth of training given that he's also resigned.
It kinda bothers me that Strong World and this movie are considered canon. They just don't seem to fit anywhere.
The canon-ity (I don't know the correct word) of these movies are debatable. Although Strong World's Chapter 0 was undeniably canon. If this movie has a tie-in chapter then that's most likely canon as well.
-

Well so we disagree… i think he will reach this level AFTER Luffy has become PK and has beaten people like BB, yonkous and admirals... Well more or less "In the epilogue"
-
the definition of canon is that it is written by author.so,even if the movie doesn't fit in the manga continuity,it doesn't make it non-canon.many people are thinking of the word "canon" wrongly.
whatever oda does,say ,writes or designs is canon. -

It would be great to see Coby take down Caribou though. Would be great for his character development, plus I don't want to see Caribou ever again.
-
It will be funny if Coby is called Coby the fist of Justice
