@RobbyBevard:
Disasters come and go. There will be some extreme reactions and pulling on content initially , but int he long run the product will remain.
Right after 9/11 people were demanding Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers be renamed somehow, and the Simpsons heavily edited their New York episode (which had a gag where Homer ran between the tops of the towers to find a bathroom) for instance.
If Oda had planned on doing an earthquake in the very next chapter, (Like if this had happened during the war) he might have changed his plans for the short term and done something different for a week or two, but in 6 or 7 years when Blackbeard is relevant to the plot again? Probably not.
Also, as huge as this disaster is… Japan DOES get earthquakes all the time. Not on this scale, but quakes all the same.
Really? Change it's name? I mean yes it was a tragic thing to happen, but we can't just avoid facing it altogether that's just weak of us as humans.
Seriously they still haven't started rebuilding at all, it's just sitting there wasting space, grow up and move on if people don't then they won, and we let them cause we are to pathetic to get up after scraping our knees.
I hope japan does not act like this, it would disappoint me as people are much stronger then this.
As for the games, the Disastor Report 4 game actually sky rocketed to one of the top 10 pre-ordered game because of this incident. Interesting as that can be. It was in 79 place before this.
