Why did they hate the Straw Hat crew? They weren't invading Vearth.
Question about the Cyandians
-
-
because the Shandians were racists.
-
Aye, they simply didn't like people from below. Never really got it. (Especially seeing how they originally came from the blue sea and their goal was to ring the bell so someone on the blue sea could hear it.)
-
in all honesty, I thought that the topic creator was trying to spell "canadians" and did a bad job. I only came here because I was going to refuse to answer any questions about canadians until he spelt it right….....
I'll go now.
-
It's because they have a grudge with anyone who step in their homeland, Upper Yard. Also, there is that bit that Gan Fall said in chapter 255, about Enel's slaves scaping in ships of the "Blue Sea". Still, the slaves are Skypea people and you know how much the Shandians hated them.
-
The Shandorians were at war. Obviously, they weren't going to be very trusting of anyone new entering the battle field.

I believe the Null translators referred to the Shandorians as Cyandians.

Well, four centuries of almost constant warfare tend to make people not trust outsiders. But the Shandians were like that even before they were cast into the sky, so they're just not very friendly towards outsiders by nature.
That's most likely a result of the cataclysm that destroyed the High Jayan society. They were probably betrayed by somebody that they trusted back then and their culture never really recovered, but instead wound up becoming xenophobic in response.

Hahaha, thanks a bunch Captain Usopp, you so much made my day with that post of yours. You really gave fresh and warm laugh from the bottom of my heart when I needed it most. Thanks man. :happy:
My favorite part is "I was going to refuse to answer any questions about canadians until he spelt it righ…...". That statement is pure gold!
-
Haha…
Reminds me of how I always see Chopper spelled "Cyopper" on random ebay items.
BTW it's Shandians, not Shandorians.Ubiq answered the question well, can I lock this now?

Dude, I can spell better than most people here.
Anyway, yes, you can lock this, CosmicDebris.

don't worry, I'm not harrassing you for spelling. You can probably spell better than me. I READ it wrong, is the problem. Just wanted to make it clear, I wasn't dissing your spelling before this gets locked.

you're all missing the point here. here's the real question about the cyandians - why they have wings for god sake? i mean, for enel's sake.

Perhaps it's related with Darwin's theory of evolution.
-
Well, back in vol. 12, Oda did say that after ape evolved into man, man would keep evolving until he did a somersault, after which he would float above the ground a little. Perhaps the Shandians are that 'somersault', their wings need a few more millenia to grow large enough to fly through the air with. Hopefully by then they will have overcome their xenophobia and be more accepting of strangers.

This thread just made me think about something that I actually never thought about before, because I categorically excluded that option. Are the wings on the skypieans real wings or are they just the stereotypic wardrobe there?
I mean so far I always looked at it like some sort of fashion. I mean when Luffy called them angels it didn´t mean much to me, because after all he called Blueno a cow. And the name Angel Beach doesn´t have to mean anything here either because the name Milky Way doesn´t do neither.
It just struck me when I realized that I actually have no real argument for saying that the wings are artificial instead of real, that I might have been dead wrong with my guess. So I´m curious for what the rest of you guys took the wings for. Fashion or part of the body?

nice point my friend, never thought of it either. anyways, we never saw them flying, a thing that makes your theory stronger, but! a chicken have real wings and it's certianly can't fly XD
-
… as a farm boy i resent that statment, they can fly just not very high or far.
-
Well yeah they didn´t fly, but then again those wings aren´t really standards sized among angels or other flying humanoid with wings aren´t they? Could actually be a process of evolution. Either going back or forth and being in the middle stages right now. I don´t know.

There is already a whole thread about Shandian's wings and origins. http://apforums.net/showthread.php?t=7122
