Katakuri bros were born on November 25
Doffy's off to Level 6. Should've put him in Level 4 if they really wanted to punish him

I don't know what kind of hosting server Oro Jackson uses, but it doesn't show up for me even when I disable adblock.
Thanks for rehosting them.

[qimg]https://i.imgur.com/NoEg4Nt.png[/qimg][qimg]https://i.imgur.com/2GqMGP5.png[/qimg]Zoro looks better now, he used to look like he had a spray on tan and looked like an orange. And we all know that Robin's new skin tone is just for consistency with the manga, though she did look great with the tan. Usopp was always half-black at most, though I don't think they needed to lighten his skintone. Burgess looked tan before but now he looks sunburned.
No offense but I don't see the point in continuing to whine about this stuff. These changes are years old and it's not gonna go back.

I´m not gonna discuss this further here, it´s been discussed to death and you all refuse to even concede the fact that it can bother some people. Not everyone is fine with having Oda use our cultures on his story, and casually making pale white all the characters that hail from the country based on ours.
But whatever, I said I didn´t want to start shit. I don´t have the time nor energy to respond to every single person who is annoyed because something that doesn't affects them can bother other/s

So normal giants are a minimum of 12 meters tall (39 feet) while Big Mom is 8.8 meters tall (almost 29 feet)
Did we ever get an official height for Whitebeard? Oda notes that Big Mom is taller than him
-
Urouge tha pimp.
Oda lurks the internet. Guess he reads Sanji haters too much.
-
Oda says Katakuri was not born with his perikan-eel-ish mouth by nature. He has been covering up his mouth so fast when eating that nobody has witnessed it. Oda says it is the reason for his distinct mouth, which might imply that Katakuri's mouth can't help getting bigger due to his fast eating speed. Oda is wondering if he should tell the backstory about it in the future.
*I edited a bit.

Knew he couldn't have been born with it.
-
Cool info so far. Thanks guys!
-
Gotta say, I'm not a fan of information that important being given to us outside of the main story (even if I like the information itself).
-
Anything else @sandman?
-

That sounds like a pretty important bit of information. How does one end up like that? At a relatively young age no less.
Purely coincidence

I really wanna know the translation for the SBS banner with Big Mom and Oda fish
-
These are apparently the nationalities:
- Blackbeard - Somalia
- Law - Germany
- Kid - Scotland
- Capone - Italy
- Drake - Turkey
- Apoo - China
- Urouge - India
- Bonney - Australia
- Hawkins - Egypt
At least Oda's realized that just "Africa" is not a proper nationality. Progress!
Maybe usopp was south African all along…

Another reason why the random bullying in totland is random, wouldn't panda girl be also bullied for her mouth? Or did totland actually improve in that aspect?

Boire is the 19th daughter. So she's much older than Pudding(35th). The bullying doesn't seem to have gone down.

[qimg]https://i.imgur.com/NoEg4Nt.png[/qimg][qimg]https://i.imgur.com/2GqMGP5.png[/qimg]I don't know why others are dismissing your complaints when what you're saying is pretty validated.
It's most likely a combination of the many inconsistencies that arise from producing a long-running anime for almost 2 decades and the unfortunately common Asian bias towards lighter skin tones.
It also doesn't help that the anime is so reliant on trying to be as close to a 1:1 adaptation with the manga as possible. -
Why haven't we seen the married offsprings? The top tiers are mostly the older kids, as the ones that have been with big mom before she was an emperor, those who have been married of should be the younger as Lola, Chiffon and Praline, and Pudding. Unless they show some pirate inclinations like Gioconda or Gallette.

Thanks for the picture Redon. That's a beautiful cover if you ask me. I can't wait to put my hands on it (in a year or so, when it will be translated lol).

It bothers a lot of us we just don't complain about it anymore. Personally i think they all look better before the lightening and design changes. Part 2 is just lame character designs and lightened chars for the most part. But for some characters it seems to have worked out. Like i think Burgess looks better now, along with Jimbei and Chopper.
=D -
Wait, what about Killer?
-
Wait, what about Killer?
He got darker actually, at least i think he did, but i still prefer his past design.
=D -
I meant why is there no info about Killer.
He is a Worst Generation, right?
-
This is Japan, that Oda is admiting that other countries exists, and that women can have carreers (only non violent ones) is already "progressive".

This explanation does sound rather silly. I think Oda came up with it to justify why other Charlotte children (Perospero, Compote, Daifuku, Oven, Opera, Amande, Cracker) that are older or nearly the same age as Katakuri don't know about his pelican eel mouth.

I feel like some of the older family members know about Katakuri, they just respect him now so they don't tease him anymore, especially since he always keeps his mouth covered now. I actually think the Katakuri hype was true but incomplete now. Like Katakuri on the day of his birth really did climb up in a chair to sleep in. He just fell over while sleeping and messed his mouth up badly when he hit the floor. Poor Baby.

=DSomething like that's what I figured for a while, but it would be very weird if everybody in the family freaks out accept the small circle of oldest children who only respond with "lol Wait, you guys didn't know?" And I don't see any implications of the family respecting each other to the utmost degree without discrimination given Pudding's bullying from her siblings (which were much younger than Katakuri, I know) and her own mother. Daifuku even swats away Pudding for failing her assassination attempt.
This all just goes to show that I think the discrimination aspect in Whole Cake Island could have been done a lot better if there was more focus on the hypocritical aesthetic of Totland's racial harmony rather than focusing mostly on the wedding business so much. These occasional tidbits with Pudding and Katakuri having tragic flashbacks come across as being more awkward than poetic without more context of how discrimination can be applied to even the most trivial of traits in real life.

Those kids weren't her siblings. Not as far as we're aware anyways.

Not quite. The discrimination seems random however it looks like the discrimination in Tottoland is based on ridicule for those who exhibit traits unlike those of the residents of Tottoland. So it's mostly just weird deformities, however racism is still used in Tottoland against those whose race doesn't reside in Tottoland. This is why Pudding is bullied. Also unlike in most other kingdoms bullying is still carried out on royalty. In fact it appears that bullying overall is encouraged, especially when in groups. The family is weird cuz they don't seem to care for each other much at times, but then they're all don't hurt my siblings. Even Flambe who doesn't seem to care about anything but herself was dying for recognition from Katakuri and even valued the recognition of all her other brothers as sort of a compensation for not having Katakuri's.
=D -

True, I forgot that. But we still have Flambe, every Charlotte worshipping Katakuri, and various Charlotte siblings acting bitter towards each other for their failures.

=DI know all of that, but I still think the story could emphasize those aspects more. Having them relegated so sparingly to such short, yet major moments in the story can easily make Oda's writing look contradictory and his characters hypocritical (not in an insightful storytelling way, but moreso inconsistent characterization storytelling flaws). When we have to go to this much length to infer how all of this can be consistent, there might be an issue or two going on with what the arc is and isn't primarily focusing on.
-
As much of a fan of the Charlotte family I currently am, plot and character development this arc is all over the place. Most things seem like afterthoughts that keep piling up and don't really hold up when you try to check for consistency.

Well we know he's had this injury since he was a kid
The jaw feature was always the point oda yammed in more than the teeth

The answer is in the Pudding. How much is she messing with everyone else?
-
From some dude at OJ:
Thanks to Reddit user foreversinging0403 we might be spelling the 19th daughter's name wrong, here's what he said:
"Hm. Seems to be a mistake in how people are reading her name. That's a handakuten, not a dakuten. Compare it to the dakuten in Galette's name. Her name is Poire, which means "pear" in French. This also references one form of Charlotte cake, charlotte aux poires."
-
Yeah that's what I was thinking looking at it too. That's definitely a Po, not a Bo

So is blackbeard from Ohara or maybe wano?
Blackbeard and Robin's father!
-
Come to think of it, we never see Blackbeard without his bandana. Maybe he is a three-eye?
-
I don't know if I would really like a Blackbeard design with three eyes. He already has so much going on his design and I don't think he can even show such a thing without taking off his awesome tricorne hat. But it could make sense, I guess. It might explain the three-skull Jolly Roger, maybe…
-
But the point of 3 eyes is that they have Voice of all things like luffy and roger, not that they are archeologists.

@uniaka:

Big Mom is using Pudding to read Poneglyphs though. Poneglyphs can only be read by Robin and Three-Eyed people thus far in the story. Although veterans of Roger's crew may remember what they said.
