This one has a bunch of stuff on the mink village, and the cover story bits, and background details that… none of us noticed.

I did notice Kaku and the antler
:getlost:

Greg says that chapter 814 gave us a special guest appearance from Kaku, but no picture was provided. I don't recall seeing Kaku anywhere. What did I miss?

He's taking about Usopp in that panel looking like Kaku, due to how the panel cut off part of his thick lips. Also with the Kaku cap he was wearing.

Also the panel where Nekomamushi puts his hand on Usopp's head… if you enlarge the pic Usopp's nose is square.

The face next to Karuh´s wing is damn hard to see ^^
First thought about Mikio Itoo, but the lips ain´t fitting. -
Kinda cute how people are commenting/critiquing while obviously not having read the column.
"Masira etc. couldn't be just mink."
Addressed that."He stated he was human."
Addressed that."Hey Merry might be a half too."
Addressed that too.Oh intranets.
Good call with Captain Gorilla there Kage. Another Twitter fan also suggested that bear Marine might be a full mink as well. Great finds all.
Had no idea on how to contact you. Here goes;
! Hi Greg,
! I messaged you not long ago about moving to Japan and teaching English / Translation / Interpreting.
! Anyways.. to put it simply, I'm just wondering how you went about learning Kanji.
! I'm thinking of trying Nihongo Sharks 2100 Kanji in 97 days method. I will stick to what the guide says, although I'll just stick to whatever pace I feel is right for me so it may take longer.. -
Speaking of "guest appearances from Kaku", most translations didn't make it clear, but according to PowerManga here, the person that Lucci was speaking with on the Transponder Snail in Dressrosa in Chapter 801 uses his speech patterns. Looks like Lucci and Spandam aren't the only familiar faces in CP-0. I'm curious, did Greg say anything about that anywhere? I've only read a couple of his posts.

I don't know if Greg said it but I remember when that chapter came out people who read the original Japanese pointed out that it was most likely Kaku on the other line because of the speech pattern.

Suburban,
I use the 漢字検定 Kanji Kentei books for learning but…that was after having a few hundred under my belt.
It's mostly a blur that resulted from being told, "You need to learn these kanji to pass these tests or you will lose your scholarship."
That's a pretty good motivator.
There are numerous methods but whatever works for you, works for you. Only thing I would suggest is a STRONG reading reinforcement activity. The GENKI books are great for that.
Bellis,
Yep, it would be highly unlikely that it wasn't him. I didn't mention it because I knew it would be addressed to death by the time my article went to print and it was glaringly obvious in the JP version.

What about Vito possibly being a Snakeneck?
A Snakeneck could be a human with reptilian features. :wassat:
Longarms, Longlegs, and Giants are self explanatory.
Dwarves are Lilliputians.
Fishmen are anthropomorphic fish.
Minkmen are anthropomorphic mammals(not just mink).
Snakeneck have…reptile tongue, big hands and feet?, and wait for it...
...snake eyes! -

Thanks Greg,
Yea that seems like a great motivator for you. I've started and I've learnt 40 Kanji in 2 days. The wonderful thing about Anki is that I'll never forget them because I will keep reviewing it over and over and basically the computer remembers the list of what I have learnt. Enjoyment is my motivator. I must be wierd.

One thing mammals have in common with each other is their fur, and minks are known for their fur, so it makes sense for minkmen to be anthropomorphic furry mammals.
But big hands and feet aren't a feature shared by all reptiles, and especially not snakes, so it doesn't seem likely that's a feature of snakenecks.
I'm in the camp that believes Moria is a snakeneck.FC(3DS) - 2724-4238-5489 (LZTan)

Has Moria's neck always been long? No. It looks like it's been surgically enhanced throughout his years.
Snakenecks may not just be people with long necks. That's not even special as Luffy can elongate his neck at will. My point is Minkmen were alluded to before proper introductions of the Minkmen in Zou were made(Slave auction list, Bepo, Pekoms, Hawkins' Black Cat). Snakeneck is the only known race from the slave auction list the reader has yet to see OFFICIALLY. So the question is when will we see a Snakeneck? Why not now?
I would guess Snakenecks are humans with reptilian(not just snake) features or anthropomorphic reptiles(but I don't recall any hint of these). So not all Snakenecks would have big hands. Just those who represent whatever reptile that does. Vito does have reptilian features: the tongue and slim torso. And maybe snake eyes. That could connect to gambling using dice and this has a Mafia theme.

they just have long necks like the long leg and arm tribes most likely like you said moriah is closest we have to them at the moment.

Just cause Luffy can stretch his neck, doesn't make it any less special. I'm sure you know Luffy wasn't born with a long neck.
I'll agree that Moria's neck has been surgically enhanced, but he just doesn't seem as human as everyone else in the series due to his size, body proportions, and the horns on his head.

Why did Oda choose SNAKEneck instead of just LONGneck as name?:blink: Just because Moria is/was the closest thing to a Snakeneck(how you defined him) doesn't mean either or if he still possibly considered one now. If Moria is one, is that what we should expect the rest of the Snakeneck to look like? A bunch of Moria look alikes? Nah, one Moria is enough. So what snake or reptile features does Moria possibly have? Long neck…modified. Sharp teeth. Claw like fingers. Very big and tall. Different skin color. And Moria USED to look fit but he ain't thin/slender NOW which is a SNAKE feature. So I'm not necessarily saying he ISN'T a Snakeneck, just that he may not be alone now. Moria can be seen as a human with reptilian features. Gecko Moria looks are based on what...a bat and a gecko lizard right?

And horns are Snakeneck features because? :wassat: Wouldn't horns fit better if Snakeneck were not constricted to just SNAKEneck but humans with REPTILIAN features? Fishmen and Minkmen have been shown as different sizes so I would think the same applies to Snakenecks.
And Luffy I think wouldn't share a UNIQUE trait with another race that's DEFINED attribute is just a long neck. The Snakenecks have been saved for a reason. They will be special looking. Gecko Moria could be a human with gecko features and Vito could be a human with chameleon(or whatever reptile that fits better) features.
We just got (re)introduced in the post timeskip/New World: Fishmen, Humans with animal parts, Dwarves, Longarms, Longlegs, Giants, and Minkmen on the LAST 4 arcs. It feels like ALL races are getting some proper and/or necessary panel time. So what is left!? And back to what the questions I asked: When will Snakenecks get proper introductions? What will they look like? Why can't they be POSSIBLY be foreshadowed now?

Get someone to translate your question into japanese and send it into the sbs question asking thing then where Oda answers the questions but even if he looks at your question no guarantee that he will answer it but since we know as much as you do so its a bit hard to tell you something you don't know. :ninja:
It would be snakehead if it was more than just the snakeneck (snakes being long)

My point about Luffy is that any "unique" trait he can achieve by stretching is only possible because of his one-of-a-kind Devil Fruit, so he shouldn't be representative of any one race, and any other race he might resemble would be completely incidental. I'm sure he could just as easily enlarge his hands and stretch his tongue to look like Vito if he wants to.
I don't know why horns would be a feature of Snakenecks. I wasn't really thinking when I said that… But yeah, I'd be totally fine with Snakenecks being foreshadowed now. I just don't think Vito is one of them. He's not as visually distinct as the other races we've seen so far. (Big hands end up looking pretty normal in the world of One Piece and it's various wonky proportions, and the long tongue is a trait shared by Caribou).

Whatever species Moria ends up being, I think Hannyabal will be the same, since they share a lot of odd but distinct similarities. Hell, Chapter 0 Moria (shown at Roger's execution) is almost a dead ringer for Hannyabal, where Moria is shown without the elongated neck and still rocking a chin.

I'll agree that Moria's neck has been surgically enhanced, but he just doesn't seem as human as everyone else in the series due to his size, body proportions, and the horns on his head.Nah, most of the OP big shots are huge guys. Kuma, Doflamingo, all the admirals, Whitebeard… some strong guys just get to be huge.
Moria got messed up by Kaido which led to his neck surgery, and then 20 years of laziness led to his fat shape, that's all. When next we see him he's probably going to be in fighting trim again and look badass, like he did in Episode 0.
As for the horns? We've seen several guys with them now. Sometimes its just decorative, others, its part of their actual head.
Either way Moria has surgery excusing most of his stuff.

Moria won't be thin. He will most likely be notably thinner but not as buff as back then.

Why did Oda choose SNAKEneck instead of just LONGneck as name?:blink:
You should be asking why Oda used "NECK" in the first place. The noun is the most important part in a name.
If it was something like "Snakeman", then reptilian features could be believable (after all, "Fishmen" are men with fish features), but that's not the case at all. This is a name that focuses on a single part of the body, so it's more likely that only that specific body part is the species important feature.
I mean, Luffy can also stretch his arms and legs at will. By your logic, Longarms and Longlegs aren't special either.

Valid point about snakeNECK. The whole combined word should be analyzed as well as singular snake and neck. So…what is a "snakeneck" exactly? Do snakes really have some defining quality of their necks? How big is a snake's neck anyways? I guess pretty long going by the esophagus. :wassat:

Anatomy of a snake. 1 esophagus, 2 trachea, 3 tracheal lungs, 4 rudimentary left lung, 5 right lung, 6 heart, 7 liver, 8 stomach, 9 air sac, 10 gallbladder, 11 pancreas, 12 spleen, 13 intestine, 14 testicles, 15 kidneys.
Interesting that looking up snake and neck gets you long necked turtles and birds. Pekoms could maybe blend in with his DF powers?:ninja:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_long-necked_turtle
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roti_Island_snake-necked_turtle
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AnhingaThe Longarms have extra joints for their arms(Luffy doesn't have) and Longlegs are …well nothing besides longlegs. Doesn't say much against your point:sad:...well then...neither of them is in Luffy's main crew so any potential gag(s) of comparison between Luffy's DF power and their limbs will be limited at best.
--- Update From New Post Merge ---
If Moria and Hannyabal are the same race(if not "regular" human) then what connects them and Snakenecks?Gekko Moriah(gekko = gecko?)
http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Gekko_Moriah! Moriah is an abnormally large person with very distinct, devil-like features.[11] Standing at 692 cm (22'8½") in height, he was the tallest among the Shichibukai.[4]
Hannyabal
http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Hannyabal
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hannya! The Hannya (般若) mask is a mask used in Noh theater, representing a jealous female demon or serpent. It possesses two sharp bull-like horns, metallic eyes, and a leering mouth.[1]
Possible connection between Snakenecks and demon/devil like features(Adam and Eve with DF Tree connection?; Apep for Egyptian theme from Hannyabal)
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serpents_in_the_Bible
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ApepAnd back to my original guess of Vito…well his tongue is NOT a snake's forked tongue but it is reptilian though. Unsure of big handed/footed reptile(Basilisk?). Vito could be a DF Zoan reptilian power but is that what a Zoan user looks like in normal or "hybrid" mode? I'd say no going by past examples of both.

You're over analyzing it and missing a big clue.
Remember that the Longlegs and Longarms are based on Japanese folklore characters = Ashinagatenga. While the Longlegs has same look as the long legs of the Ashinga-jin, the Longarms differ from the Tenga-jin in that they have two elbows while the folklore characters had one.
There is a folklore character that seems to have a 'snake-like' neck, the Rokurobuki .Ashinagatenga=
Rokurobuki=
Though I don't think it'll that extreme, more like a really long neck.
Maybe something like one of these= [hide][/hide]
But its funny we already got one image from OP that fits that folklore image that quite well lol

Whoa! I forgot about this. Great point! I do vaguely remember this being brought up. So I guess more races and devil fruits could be represented by other Yōkai.
Inuarashi and other canine Minkmen
Inugami =
Nekomamushi and other feline Minkmen
Bakeneko =
Nekomata =
Jinbe, Moriah, Hannyabal, and others with Oni inspired looks
Oni =
Devil Fruit powers in inanimate objects
Tsukumogami =
Back to the point, Rokurobuki being some version of Snakenecks connecting with the supernatural/yokai link like other races/objects makes a lot sense. I just don't know about the maybe detaching from the body power if applied. An enemy would have to deal with two separate bodies of the same entity though.
My long shot guess of Snakenecks being related with another yokai as well is Tsuchinoko
Tsuchinoko =
And I guess if a Snakeneck is just a person with a long neck then they probably won't be a main crew nakama(like Longarms and Longlegs) because Luffy can imitate their appendages.
A yokai list: youkai-glossary
-
I see snakeneck persons as having a spring like nick that can stretch similar to a snake when it curls up

so mr hankey was indeed a tsuchinoko

I think rather than Conqueror's Haki, it's much more likely that the sparks are from that Electro thing the minks use.

@Bond:

Yeah. The sparks on Conqueror Haki are more blackish in the manga and blue in the colored version.
-
I think rather than Conqueror Haki or electrical discharge, it's normal Haki clash, or just a strong clash. Haki clashes don't produce sparks because Haki magically produces sparks, but because of two hard objects forcefully clashing against each other. Franky's punches produced similar effect.
But I don't doubt those 2 can use Haki. As for Conqueror Haki, eh, not sure. It would make sense that at least some of the people present would notice if they were boasting their Conqueror aura.
-
I think they both have it since they were fighting over who would be the king of Zou since they said we don't need two kings only one or something like that.
without more proof we cannot say for sure though but we will get them fighting when jack goes back and on wano at least so we have time to see if they have it or not them knocking people out would be proof..

Actual comment during an editorial meeting regarding the column.
Regardless of what it was or wasn't, you may want to hold off all commentary on mink until you see them at their full potential.
Nobody is interested in the section of the movie poster that hasn't previously been publicly seen? Robby?

Soru Sister: We know Nami can handle some Rokushiki techniques from Sanji being in her body. Chopper could modify his Rumble ball to perhaps allow him to use a Soru-esque technique. And Usopp has always had that cowardly speed.
So maybe Soru is possible in all threes future.Aniki!: Franky must be bipolar in some way. Cola withdraw or cola is too potent.
Mall Hats: The alluded clothes on cover chapter 811 is a great find. What is Luffy going to do with that axe? Reminds me of OG Nami.

Hang on, now that you mention it, that Ace of Spades was obscured by the movie title in the published version wasn't it!?
Does that mean you have access to the original image??
There's one other card obscured by the words. It looks like a King, possibly King of Diamonds.
Is that supposed to allude to Luffy becoming the Pirate King? Or is it the King of Spades? Which would allude to how the Pirate King is the father of the Ace of Spades?

I still haven't even seen film Z, so I've paid zero attention to anything about the new one. \ Still, it's neat that you get to show something otherwise underneath the logo.
Also interesting that particular skull and crossbones has Brook's scar.

All right, an ace of spade that has the name of a coin worth 4 and the skull of a walking dead man.

Actually a lot of skulls in OP share Brook's scar. I'm fairly certain it's what Oda thinks a skull 'should look like'.

So you don't think Stella Show will be of significance in the film? Huh.
-
Well, if it's about the coin, I wonder how Oda came to know much about it, but yeah, the gold theme and the star theme match up, that with the name make it certain that they are related.
Considering how Carina was in the Joker card before being revealed, the ace is definitely something more relevant.
I see spirals, so devil fruit?
Rolling back, Gil Tesoro, a man who managed to buy independence from the world goverment, did he create a show to celebrate it? Or he obtained it because of the show? Is he actualy the midas fruit user?
This makes me think on the origin of beries, if this dude is extremly wealthy (20% of the money of the world), and he's related to a weird and valuable coin, and a nececity of the WG, then… I feel like I'm drifting out. Haven't been keeping up with the movie, other than the Casino/Heist feel that it has.
--- Update From New Post Merge ---
Was there another Stella around? a background detail? the beer brand that Sanji drinks?
From what blue was the ship originaly from? Wasn't it stated that it was Franky's blue? (Pretty sure wasn't east or north, so that leaves west and south)
While the conflict with the strawhats from Strong World was direct and clearly deffined, the conflict between the crew and Z was more of payback, what reason has the crew to go to a casino (other than Nami)?

I still haven't even seen film Z, so I've paid zero attention to anything about the new one. \ Still, it's neat that you get to show something otherwise underneath the logo.
Also interesting that particular skull and crossbones has Brook's scar.
It's a pretty good movie with an awesome villain.

Robby, you must watch Z. It's strong competition for my favorite OP film.
In fact, the only reason 6 still wins is because it's just so different and nothing will probably ever top that/be allowed again.
Strong World was made for kids, Z is for, well, us.

Its funny, cause Galaxy just streamed a few weeks ago.
