I wish it was "dizzy rumble"
Well they could have just called it Monkey Fist or something. I mean in Monkey style kung fu there is a Drunken Monkey Fist style of fighting. I believed Master Roshi used that as Jackie Chun if I'm not mistaken.

I think the dub called Jackie Chun's style "Mad Cow Fist"…was reminded of that from another board. Though he is of age of concent (way beyond that actually), that was mostly from watching it at 4-5 in the afternoon.

Yeah I think I remember that too… Though I'm not exactly sure why they referred to it as mad cow... but heck at least even mad cow beats loopy fist.
If anyone remembers he was once the Supervising Editor for One Piece. It's an interesting read and he does have comments about things like Al Khan and Viz's lack of support for lesser selling titles in favor of Naruto.
Hey now that we're on Skypiea in the anime i wonder what Viz will actually name Enel/Eneru when they reach Skypiea, god or something else

Well, they haven't censored anything previously, so hopefully he'll still be a god. Otherwise, they'd mess up the entire plot.

So you're saying the FUNi tv dub will mess up the entire plot?

Kinda. It does lose some of it's impact when they remove the religious parts. But at least they can fix it on the uncut DVDs. If Viz changes Enel into a king, then that's it. They've basically changed the plot, and they won't release two versions of the manga. Basically, in the anime, I can accept seeing the change in the TV-broadcast version, but it should not happen on the uncut DVDs or in the manga.
So far Funi has referred to Eneru as "Him" and "He". They need to somehow identify that title, whether its "God" or not, so we can stop worrying.

"Kingland Skypeia".
Amazon called him King.
There. Proof.
@Vegard:

What are you talking about?

What aren't you getting? Funi had Amazon calling him a King instead of a God, and they edited a sign from Godland Skypiea to Kingland Skypiea. I think it's fairly obvious what he's talking about.

Wow, it's pretty awesome to read something from a guy who isn't so uninformed he sounds like a total half-wit. I'm impressed…especially after that GL/ADV debacle from this morning. :|
He raises valid questions, and if Yotsuba is any indicator, those "tweens" will eventually have to compete with older readers who want more mature (not necesarily sexually mind you lot, but more creative) stories.

Sorry I didn't know what Amazon was.
@Yuugi's:
I wish they just started to publish One Piece in Viz Big. However, I think we all know that they are going to release them in standard volumes until the series is done. Then the kanzenban releases will roll around in Japan, and then we shall get Viz Big versions of OP.
In the year 2025.

Goku's power level reference for the win.
Urg, whoever it is that does the check ups for typos, translations and what not for One Piece isn't doing a very good job at all.
So far, spanning from Volume 14 to 17, we have the following errors and inconsistancies:
-Vivi is referred to by her family name, Nefeltari in all of Volume 14. In Volume 15 and on, she's referred to by her first name.
-Elbaf is written as Elbaph, thus destroying the pun in the name.
-Ms. Valentine's Day mentions that Luffy has a bounty of 300 Million in Volume 14. An extra zero was added by mistake, as it is supposed to be 30 Million.
-Chapter 136's cover page is titled "Django's Dance Paradise, Vol. 9: Ah! The Navy!" while the Wanted poster being held by the Naval soldier clearly says "Jango."
-In Volume 16, Dr. Hiruluk's name is written out as "Dr. Hiriluk." However, on the cover of Volume 17, the title of the book is written as "Hiruluk's Cherry Blossoms."
Pretty sure I could find more if I looked through it, but this is ridiculous.
I bought the Chopper Volume that had like 8 or 9 chapters in it. That was disapointing, normally don't they have 10? I can't believe I wasted 10 Dollars.
Tsukento: what is the pun in "Elbaf"?
"Elbaf" backwards reads "Fable". That's what I'm fairly certain it is.

Volume 14 also had 8 chapters. They vary between 8 and 10 chapters per volume. Besides, that's not exactly Viz's fault.
Volume 18 has 11 chapters so I'm kinda confused as to why it's coming out in June rather then July.
Viz maybe planning to throw in a four chapter issue. They did it at the end of the Baratie Arc.
Wow, is there a list somewhere of Viz screwups throughout the volumes? I'd be totally interested in seeing that.

#1-Releasing One Piece Shit-Slow.
#2- Romanization screwups
#3- Consistency (editing the kanji off of Smoker's jacket… "sometimes" >_>)
Anyway, I went to Borders today and browsed some... I saw the new One Piece volume 16. I flipped through it and it looked pretty good. It even had some good Winter Vivi action, which is always = win.
Then I saw these next to the Uncut Naruto box sets
!
I was thinking… ohh yea... 4kids... There were about 10 copies or so.
mmhumm
QUESTION: Was "Elbaf" ever officially romanized? (A la "Zoro")

They call him Bon Clay, and not Bon Kurei? =/
@Lobster:

Bon Kurei sounds worse.
:wassat:
EDIT : Theres actually four chapters of One Piece.
Funny that they would take the popular fan-mistranslation over the confirmed romanization.
Bon Kurei sounds worse.
It sounds about the same…
Plus Oda romanized it as Bon Kurei
That doesn't sound bad at all. Portgas may be Portgaz, but better is that Ace isn't Trace. And "Oh Come My Way" is actually a pretty clever way of avoiding referencing tansexualism or homosexuality (and using the word okama) and at least fans of the Japanese version will get the reference.
^But he's not even a confirmed homosexual… It more accurately translates to "Way of the Cross Dresser".
Viz needs to be mitten slapped by Winter Vivi. Their foolishness must not be allowed to continue. It's shear madness I say. Madness.
But during his song and dance in the desert, he says "Oh Come My Way". as a pun. Besides, would you rather have it been "Ballerina Way" or "Crazy Karate"?
And I have no beef with Portgaz. Just as long as it's Ace and not Trace.
And the holiday is Bon Kurei, but Bon Clay doesn't bother me at all.
Oooh, 4 chapters. That's great!
Some fans will never be able to accept VIZ's editing standards, but as long as you can appreciate how the editors are able to work around it, like with "Oh Come My Way", you'll be able to enjoy it more, even if it's only a little.
I can definitely appreciate Oh Come My Way. It's nowhere near as bad as Lobster is making it out to be.
LPS doesnt mind at all. he just wants Vivi to slap someone.. preferebly him.
I love the "Oh Come My Way."
No one cares what Lobster thinks anyway.

Exactly how I feel.
Btw, its pretty obvious to know that he is gay… after the confrontation (I just read this) Vivi says
"They say he wears makeup and talks like a girl and wears a swan coat that says "oh come my way" on the back."
You'd have to be retarded not to know he is homosexual. But yeah, these were a great 4 chapters seeing as they revealed Ace, Crocodile and Bon Clay.
Ah, I remember having a good laugh when his henchmen said that during their little dance routine in the anime.
I too find it amusing that they're referring to Mr. 2 as 'Clay.' Maybe they think we wouldn't know what Bon Kurei is? Or maybe it's because they know that Clay is the more commonly used term in the American fandom? Who knows, but I'm looking forward to buying the volume…in June.
