      Which one do you prefer? Gomu Gomu no or Gum Gum? To be honest, I found myself more comfortable saying Gum Gum Pistol or Gum Gom Bazooka rather than Gomu Gomu no Pistol.

      I know it was made by the dub, but it's literate translation, you know?

      :unsure:

      And BTW, if you watch the Chinese dub, then you will never hear Luffy yell, "GOMU GOMU NO…!" either.

        After watching all so far released 257 episodes, 6 movies and four specials in the original language I can´t say anything but Gomu Gomu nooooooo… :biggrin:

        I even say Fusen instead of Balloon.

          gum gum reminds me too much of chewing gum… only dubbed noise I can just accept is chop chop. Sooo gomu~

            I'm used to saying "gomu gomu." Besides, when I think "gum" I think of chewing gum.

              I also think of "chewing gum". Although Wapol did mention Luffy was chewy.

              Anyway, I'm like Ivotas, except I've only seen one movie and 130 episodes. I've heard Luffy say "Gomu Gomu no…" so much that I think of that instead of Gum Gum, despite reading the English manga first.

              Then again, remove the o and switch the m and u around, and you have "Gum Gum".

                I'm perfectly fine with saying Gum Gum. It's more comfortable for me to say than Gomu Gomu no.

                  I actually find gomu-gomu no much better, caus it sounds cooler to me, and it actually means what its supposed to. i mean, Gomu-gomu means rubber in japan (well, thats what a trusted friend told me), while gum-gum just means, well, gummy. If hes a rubber man, surely rubber attacks would fit, and not gummy :P

                    I love the way "gomu gomu no" sounds. I feel retarded if I say "gum gum". That's my preference.

                        I like Gomu Gomu no, but to be honest, I also like the way Gum Gum is said in the german dub.

                          I use them interchangable, thought I must say I tend to say Gumo Gumo no… more then Gum Gum, unless the name of the attack is long and I need to say it in a short amount of time. And all I have to say really to AlKahn really is Gear Fith.... Gumo Gumo No Ultra Jet Bazoka!

                            Gomu gomu no just sounds better in my opinion… Gum gum sounds a bit... silly... And sometimes it's better if people don't understand what I mean... But I tend to spout YOSH! more than both... :D

                                Well, if it were english, the literal translation would be…
                                Rubber Rubber. After all, that's what Gomu translates to. Luffy's not a sticky, chewable substance. He's rubber.

                                If I think I'm insane, does it mean I'm not? Because a truly insane person wouldn't know that they are insane?

                                    It's always been Gomu Gomu no for me. It's just what I'm used to after so many episodes, movies, and whatnot.

                                    Also I think that two syllables just flows better, well technically it's two 'mora' since it's Japanese. Not as much a fan of one syllable akuma no mi names like Gum Gum, Chop Chop…uh that's as far as I was willing to go in the dub

                                      I really like what they did with all the dubbed devil fruits. Gum Gum sounds better in my opinion because he is a rubber man, just like Chop Chop sounds better than Bara Bara because he is a chop chop man.

                                        I like both but at times I stress out the moo part of gumo gumo so I say gum gum alot more even though it sounds a little retarded I think of it first since i was introduced to the dub first.

                                          And correction….

                                          The dub didn't introduce Gum-Gum. Viz's manga did. The dub simply just took their translation of it.

                                          Oh. And I really don't prefer one over the other. They're both good to me.👅

                                            Looks like I'm the black sheep around here… But hey, I do not support the dub; I support the original (though I watch Chinese dub). Even if the dub is bad, I still prefer some of the translated terms that they use. But I still call the Devil Fruits by their Japanese names. I just find terms like Gum Gum and Chop Chop easier to say.

                                            I also use literate translation for other attacks. Like for Zoro's Onogirii, I always call it Demon Slash. And for Tetsumaki... It simply means Tornado, but I do like the dub name Dragon Twister.

                                              I prefer Gomu-Gomu no because well… It's the original. But just so everyone knows, Viz created Gum-Gum, not 4kids.

                                                Who says Gum Gum is inaccurate?

                                                After all, rubber was originally derived from the sap of the rubber plant, and in the old days, gum could be used interchangeably with sap. What did ya think your chewing gum was made of, plastic? Its derived from various plant saps. So Gum Gum sounds pretty darn accurate to me, seeing how Luffy's made of natural, rather than synthetic rubber. Either way its still sappy….

                                                I'm like Hisotensoku: Not here to preserve peace, nor to destroy it. I certainly can't move mountains. Mostly, I'm just full of hot air.- Meh

                                                  I'm actually glad they went with "Gum-Gum".

                                                  "Rubber-Rubber" would sound… Um... Stupid.:biggrin:

                                                    As someone already stated, Gomu gomu rolls off your tounge.

                                                    QUOTE: "Well, if it were english, the literal translation would be…
                                                    Rubber Rubber. After all, that's what Gomu translates to. Luffy's not a sticky, chewable substance. He's rubber."

                                                    thinks of the movie Coneheads, and condoms.
