There is this Bandai official One Piece card game that I wasn't paying much attention to. But what caught my interest is that the card uses anime screenshots and Digital Colored Manga panels.
In the english version of the Card decks, the talk bubbles have English translations, seemingly ripped straight from Viz.
As far as I know, this is the first time we've ever seen the Colored Manga officially English translated in any form.
Just out of curiosity, how long does it take to go back to old, finished One Pace episodes and update them with the English dub? There's a lot of that to be done eventually. Particularly can't wait for some of the later arcs, like WCI and Zou. Would be a dream to watch WCI with One Pace + dub.
I second this. Episodes 807-808 in dub made me cry, the performances are stellar. But GEEZ does the pacing kill any momentum the episode could've had. Plus One Pace fixed that fight beautifully imo. So combining those two things would be a dream come true for me.
Looking forward to seeing what was updated while we were down!
Might take a while for people to realize AP is back lol. Only new things I noticed were Baratie 03, Drum Island 03, Arabasta 10, and Water Seven 13. If something got re-batched, I didn't notice.
I used the One Piece Wiki's page to comb through every character in the "Where's Waldo" color spread, and compared them to the anime and colored manga.
These are the ones I found most interesting:
!
(Any characters I didn't go over don't have anything interesting going on. Their Waldo color scheme is either the same as an official Oda illustration, or the same as the anime.)
As you can see it's very inconsistent. Some character's schemes disregard the anime's to be in-line with the Where's Waldo color scheme. Some are the other way around. Some like Mizerka disregard both the anime and Where's Waldo color schemes.
Oh wow, they fixed King's color scheme.
If you're saying to yourself right now "What do you mean? King's costume has always been black, they never got it wrong." Well, not exactly.
King's color scheme was a slightly washed out, blueish shade of black, in line with the anime.
This was not in line with officially colored illustrations, such as the Chapter 1031 color spread.
Oh, you're right. I didn't notice the gap between the most recent episode's chapter count (178) and the first listed chapter of the next episode on the list (201). It did make Arabasta look a bit short!
Yeah I think the overview's [TBA] episodes are just made at the beginning as a relative goal, but don't get updated along the way. So they probably expected Arabasta to be 13 episodes, but along the way they realized it'd take more.
I still think there's only like 9 or 10 episodes left though, not 13. One Pace tends to be able to cram more chapters into a single episode when it's a climatic fight.
The only change I've really ever known about is older colored volumes that skipped over SBS corners eventually getting them.
If there were color scheme changes or anything like that I'd love to know but I don't think that's ever happened.
Jeez AP was down for a long time! What all releases did we miss?
Looking on onepace.net, I see a new Water Seven and Wano released this year. I also see that Romance Dawn, Wano 23, and Wano 24 got re-uploaded. But I have no clue what changes were made if any.

That way you can read them without it constantly switching between versions lol.
How come Diamante's shirt is pink even though it's actually black and white?
This question actually has two answers:
Queen's dinosaur form being the same color as his hair seems like a very odd decision to me. If you want to make him or his hair yellow, that is fine, but just don't do both the same color.
To me, his scales look like a dark orange, not yellow. Could just be me, I suppose.
Hey guys, it's been a minute
I'm rereading OP colored thru tachiyomi, using the mangadex extension. But chapters end at 763.
Where can I continue reading them in english?
I quickly skimmed thru this topic to see if there were links on the first pages but I guess these sites are expired by now
The powermanga translations stopped at Volume 76 so that's why it ended there on whatever site you were using.
An anonymous translator continued Volumes 77-93 color in a Viz-esque style. It can be found on several manga reading websites: mangasee123.com and readonepiece.com just to name a couple.
But if you'd prefer to download, you can find .zip files on nyaa.si.
@Dahaka.:
Question. Which arcs are you planning to eventually re-do?
I don't represent One Pace, but from my understanding they plan to eventually redo every arc that doesn't meet their current editing standards. Those standards being 1) 1080p video, Blu-Ray quality when possible 2) Dual-Audio, Japanese and English dub 3) Subtitles in multiple languages.
That being said, episodes never have a release date, and there is no schedule or quota. Things just come out when they come out. And things like keeping up with Wano or finishing Arabasta are likely going to be higher priority than redoing arcs that have already been done.
I forgot what One Pace's policy on "implied filler" is.
Cause recently the episodes have been showing a lot of the Brachio tank fight. And in the manga it all happened, just offscreen. It was only implied to have happened when Usopp talks about it after the fact.
It'd be cool to have it in One Pace because there's some nice animation. But I remember One Pace strictly states "no matter how cool you think a padding or filler scene, it will be cut if possible."
Implied filler kinda tows the line because it did happen, we just didn't see it.
Got today last Saikyo Jump issue, that has a special booklet with some chapters about Chopper. The important thing is that all chapters are in full color, the first time we can see One Piece full color edition chapters printed. Paper quality of this book is not very good (not as good as Dragon Ball full color edition Tankobons) but chapters looks fine!!

Imagine someone scans these in HQ.
People be reading the colored manga online and every chapter is 760x1200 and then all the sudden Chapters 148-152 are 3600 pixels.
I'm not part of the team, so take my answer with a grain of salt, but I think it was because, yes, EoEB adapted nearly every page and panel of Chapter 1, whereas EoL trimmed some stuff off like Episode 4 did. EoEB is also higher quality than EoL. It's still a bit controversial I suppose, but that's largely Toei's fault for skipping so much of Chapter 1 in Episode 4. Luffy's talk of ten crewmates is put in a filler scene of Episode 1, and we never see how he got his scar (in fact, he doesn't even have a bandage on his face in Episode 4).
While for me it was initially jarring to switch from a more beautiful HD episode to the older standard format, EoEB really is THE best adaptation of Chapter 1 we're ever going to get. I believe out of the whole chapter only 2 panels or something were cut. That's way better than all the other versions of Ch. 1 that we have access to.
I can definitely confirm EoEB is the most panel-by-panel adaptation of Chapter 1. Can't really think of a single thing that was skipped or altered. They even remembered Gyoru.
But I think the simpler answer is that EoEB got dubbed, and Episode of Luffy didn't. Romance Dawn wasn't possible to do Dual-Audio until the change was made.
The Orange Town batch has been rereleased!

Zippyshare: Soon!
I'm sure it must be exhausting or daunting to redo arcs. We're so close to having every arc "done", but so many don't meet the current Dual-Audio, multi-sub, 1080p standard. It probably feels like doing the project all over again.
But it's really satisfying. It's probably very fulfilling to have an edit like Orange Town be the best it can be.
Japan had the full series of Dragon Ball in colour, but that's the only one I know of. Viz's releases follow what Shueisha did there.
Oh wow that's really cool. I was never able to find that. I bet Shueisha chose this series because it has the flattest colors, makes it easy to print. Although the Vivre Cards kinda prove that they could do One Piece color in print if they wanted to.
@Captain:
I saw someone saying once that Viz's licencing agreement won't let it publish anything that hasn't been printed in Japan. Ie, they couldn't just decide to do an English colour release on their own, or they did they could only do it digitally. That was almost definitely conjecture, but it holds true across the releases I've seen.
Yeah the only reason I assumed Viz took it upon themselves to do Dragon Ball Color in print was because I couldn't find the Japanese version; whenever I looked for it I only ever got e-books. But since Japan did it themselves, that throws that hypothesis out.
@Vongola_Boss_XI:
Have they released any of these in print? I know we got the Saiyan and Freeza arcs of Dragon Ball in print in English, but that's it so far.
I've looked far and wide, and none of these are available in print. I cannot even find a Japanese print version of the Saiyan and Frieza arcs. In other words, when Viz made Dragon Ball Z Full Color, they took it upon themselves to make a print version. And for whatever reason, Viz stopped releasing those, so I wouldn't expect them to ever do it again.
The best you can hope for when it comes to print versions is that the pages that were originally colorized by the mangaka in the weekly/monthly release stay colorized.
Sometimes Viz will release a standard version of a series that grayscales the color pages (Dragon Ball, JoJo's, etc.) but then they make an improved release that keeps the colored pages in color (often an omnibus edition or a large print edition; or both.)
Unfortunately for One Piece, both the standard and omnibus releases grayscale color pages.
Man, I’ve fallen behind on One Pace. Yeah, it’ll be fun to see the Oden episodes a little compressed. Some of them covered over a chapter though, so I’m not sure there’s a ton of compression to be done until Roger leaves. Those last four or five in the flashback were pretty brutally slow for me, though, so those will benefit a ton from One Pace.
Yeah I remember towards the beginning people were like "man they're adapting at a chapter and a half. This flashback will be over in no time". But in the end it adapted 14 chapters in 17 episodes, or 0.82 chapters/episode. For comparison, the entire Wano arc so far has been adapted at a pace of 0.76 chapters/episode (88 episodes adapting 67 chapters, not counting the Cidre Guild filler and Romance Dawn ver. 2 special, of course.) So it was a little faster, technically. But not as much as people were hyping it up to be.
Slightly related fact, the Oden flashback marked the day there were officially more episodes of One Piece than there are chapters. When the Oden flashback started, Episode 960 was adapting chapter 960. And by the end of the Oden flashback, Episode 976 was adapting chapter 974.
Technically you could argue "There's 1017 chapters and 980 episodes. There's not more episodes yet." But at this rate, there are guaranteed to be more episodes than chapters by the time One Piece ends.
Something I'm looking forward to is condensing the Oden Flashback from 17 episodes to 7.
That had to have been the longest flashback in One Piece history.
The July colour releases have been added to the schedule and unfortunately, we are not getting volume 94 alongside the digital black and white 99
Damn, I was really looking forward to the idea of consistent releases. Ya know, a new colored volume every 3-4 months. But if it's not going to be July, it's anyone's guess when. At least we'll be getting that Vivre card booster set.
This is our first 1080p 4:3 release. Feel free to give us feedback on how you think it looks!
I took the liberty of comparing shots to see how well the upscale actually does. df68's upscale was really muddy, but downscaled it actually made for a really clean DVD-rip.
Neo-Raw's upscale is a much cleaner upscale and I'd say it even competes with One Piece: Special Edition.
I even tested it with one of those painting-esque shots and it still faired really well
The only shot where it couldn't do very well is this very specific shot of Crocodile where he was really low-res but took up much of the frame anyways. Any upscaling AI needs to work with native res in order to do anything, even Special Edition couldn't fix this shot.
In the end, despite how good this upscale is, idk which I prefer. I kinda liked 480p just on principle. Like that's exactly the intended quality these episodes were produced in. Buy yeah, I could go either way.
Anyone's guess at this point if this is the anime and manga deviating in colours in the biggest way we've seen in a long time, or if it's just a symptom of the colouring for volume 97 still being a work in progress with a few panels rushed to completion for the databook.
My guess is that, at least in the cases of Zoro, Nami, Sanji, Usopp, and Franky, this is a product of the Vivre Cards taking awhile to produce, and the volume from the panel in question's colorization not being finalized. This isn't the first time we've seen this.
This happened with Gerd. Her Vivre Card color scheme seemed to be based off her color scheme from when she was a child. The new color scheme is the same as the anime's however.
We also saw this with Marco.
We even saw this with long-time characters such as "Axe-Hand" Morgan, which just makes absolutely no sense to me.
So yeah my guess is that when Volume 97 gets colorized, most, if not all, of these color schemes will match version 2 of the opening "DREAMIN' ON".
@Uma:
like say post-war 08 has “3D2Y”, but Return to Sabaody 01-02 have nothing, that kind of thing, you feel me?
If I remember correctly, One Pace intends to eventually go back to all of their older projects (i.e. post-timeskip arcs) and use Blu-Ray sources. In the U.S., only Season 11 (and presumably future seasons) are in Blu-Ray quality. But in Japan, episodes 575 and onwards have Blu-Rays, and they're planning to go back and release all the older episodes in Blu-Ray format (including Episodes 1-206. I believe they'll just be using the Special Edition version that you can find on Crunchyroll and Netflix. I don't think One Pace plans to use those Blu-Rays tho, as they're cropped to a 16:9 ratio) But that will take awhile. These updates versions would also be Dual-Audio with Spanish subtitles, as that seems to be the standard now.
My point being that when that eventually happens somewhere down the line, said episodes will have chapter/episode citations. It would be a long while from now, as finishing arcs that haven't been done/aren't completely done is the biggest priority right now.
It's not much yet in the case of Skypiea and Water 7, but those should be good replacements for the episodes they cover. The website tells you what those episodes are.
Some of these are actively being worked on too so by the time you get to them there may be more.
Indeed, one of the nice things about One Pace is that in the overview page, every episode cites exactly what broadcast episodes were used (or TV Specials if those were used, which is not often), and what chapters they were used for adapting. So even if a One Pace arc is only half done, you can still jump between the actual anime (or manga if you want to go about it that way) and One Pace with ease.
I would find this especially useful for the Arabasta arc. All of the integrated filler from the first half has been successfully skipped in One Pace. The latter half of the arc, while not perfectly paced, didn't need that One Pace treatment nearly as much. So if you're at that point in your binge, I would totally recommend watching whatever One Pace episodes are out and then jumping into the anime/manga, and then going right back into One Pace when you can.
Baratie, Drum, Arabasta, Jaya, Skypiea, and Water 7 aren't finished yet.
On that note, One Pace from the start has been doing arcs in order of priority. Meaning the arcs that needed better pacing the most are already done (i.e. post-timeskip arcs lol).
So whenever you get to an arc that hasn't been finished yet, you can pretty much just watch the arc with the normal broadcast episodes without issues. I mean Baratie was like, what, 11 episodes? You'll be wasting more time waiting for One Pace to condense it to 7 episodes than you would just watching the 11 episodes.
Although this is coming from someone who's watched and read the series multiple times, so maybe I'm not the best to give advice on time management. I just like One Pace for re-watching arcs, so I'm willing to wait as long as it'll take.
Mr. Anonymous back at it again with a Viz-style translation.
Also he released a compressed .JPG version. For some reason.
Don't you guys have the impression in this last volumes they are putting too much bright dots in the faces, clothes, etc? Kyoshiro's kimono looks like plastic, and sometimes it's exaggerated I think.
That could just be a result of the way it was rendered.
Like here yeah I can see what you're talking about a bit.
But in the One Piece Global Ranking images I don't think it looks as intense.
Err well, I mean the kimono still has a lot of brightness shading. But that might be intentional. Wano is supposed to be very saturated arc.
Got a few things for you friends!

Alabasta really needed this, especially the first half. I remember filler getting deeply intertwined with canon chapters. Like, you couldn't skip the filler episodes cause there's always a Vivi flashback or something.
It's so nice seeing Ace bid Luffy farewell without that bounty hunter dad guy photobombing.
Sure, a single volume release isn't nearly as exciting as 6 full volumes.
But I remember the Volumes 73-82 era where you could pretty reliable count on the next volume coming out in 3 months, typically on the 4th.
That's so much better than just going several months without news and praying you'll get another colored volume soon.
Not just for us as consumers, but also for rippers and fan-translators.
Hey, again, team! I just finished watching the new Romance Dawn last night, and I gotta say, it's ten times better than the old one. Well done, all around.
What was the source of the 480p episodes? They looked fricken _clean_.
Tie-in question: what's that last part in the We Are! opening from?
It looks like the Volume 12 cover, but I don't remember seeing it anywhere in the anime. And I've watched all the Specials, OVAs, and what have you.
I'm not a huge fan of Episode of East Blue in terms of its art style (what's up with the eyebrows?), but it really is something to see Chapter 1 adapted panel for panel, word for word. And in dub too!
It's also nice that Chapter 2 is no longer a Frankenstein combination of Episode 1 and Episode of Luffy. That was a bit too jarring for my taste. As long as the seeing Nami early part is cut out, using Episode 1 alone is fine.
Besides, neither Episode 1 nor Episode of Luffy adapt Chapter 2 in a truly accurate fashion.
Are any of the latest color volumes available in English yet?
I been waiting to say this except arlongpark was down for like a week lol
https://nyaa.si/view/1293142
The anonymous guy has done all six volumes in full English. Since he did it so quick, you can guess that he didn't translate all the SFX like last time. However, the dialogue is still [mostly] the Viz translations, and he did translate some SFX when he felt they were important.
If you don't want to torrent it, it's already on mangasee123, kissmanga, and the like.
Unfortunately, I haven't found any new torrent link available for this. It was posted a long time ago on nyaa by a guy (because in Matrix everyone is a guy, right? LOL) called HigherSky.
Sorry, the above joke was a friend's classic. I couldn't resist.
My apologies.
I don't have the 3056p version but I used to. If you ask me, I think it was an upscale. You could tell cause tone sheets kinda got warped.
https://nyaa.si/view/1238288
Here's Bleach in the usual 1200p tho. And if you really want an upscaled version, it's pretty easy to do with waifu 2x-caffe.
Well, is that Oda's actual planned colour? Who knows. I don't know if they are always picking the right colours. I think at least Morgan's colours were wrong.
The only case I can think of where the colored manga is The Lord of the Coast.
his color scheme has black and white fins which contradicts the Chapter 516 color spread
Another strange case I can think of is Jango.
In the Volume 4 cover, Jango had black shades with a blue-white mushroom stem. So the Colored Manga colored him accordingly
But in One Piece Green: Deep Secrets, his shades are red with a blue-pink mushroom stem
So after Syrup Village and his cover story, Jango looks like that
But that's just another Kuma/Law/Franky case like Captain M mentioned.
@Gia:
Wait, are people getting these translated already? I figure it would take months. Or is that just the one page?
https://ifunny.co/picture/robin-s-gonna-freakin-die-lol-KlrTc3Nz7
Well this is where I found the image, hence the iFunny watermark.
I think this guy deadass only translated the pages with Nico Robin in them. But maybe he found them from somewhere, who knows.
Do you guys feel like the colors are brighter than before?
Actually I think you have a point. It's not so much that the colors are more vibrant, but the colored manga takes a lot more attention to lighting.
For example this shot is a little less saturated because it's in a dark room
Or this shot is a little brighter because the Throne room has some limelight
Well technically you can extract it without change the extension name with 7zip.
Oh damn I already have 7zip, I just didn't know it could do that. Saved me some trouble, ig.
When it comes to .cbz files I just change it to a .zip file and unzip it. Surprisingly it doesn't mess up anything
Opening 2 running through Arabasta is the plan.
We also used Brand New World for the duration of Enies Lobby, instead of switching to Crazy Rainbow.
I'm a bit split. I think reorganizing when openings happen to prevent spoilers is a good idea. But at a certain point it's unavoidable.
Like, I don't think skipping Kaze o Sagashite entirely for the Impel Down arc was a good idea. Even though I don't like how that opening showed off an arc it doesn't even get to.
Skipping the Straw Hat Pirates version of We Are was kinda unavoidable though since that opening was used exclusively for recap filler (and Straw Hat theatre but that's pretty much filler too)
I think the idea of essentially assigning openings to arcs is cool. Like instead of getting Crazy Rainbow at a random point we get it at Post-Enies Lobby, that's cool.
1 month 1 volume I guess, or less.
Mathematically, yes that's the pace he's been going. But what I'm talking about here is endurance. Will he really do nothing but edit the colored manga to look like the Viz translations for SIX months, half a year? I'd need a break if I were him. I mean, not only is he not getting paid, but he's anonymous.
THE HYPE IS UNREAL THIS MAKES THE LAST BATCH LOOK LIKE A BABEEE!!!
I feel bad for the anonymous guy that makes the Viz-based translations. From like Volumes 77-80 he was able to post pretty consistently, but ever since they started doing batches, it's been taking months. I wonder how long it'll take for him to do six heckin volumes.
Congratulations on finishing EL! Amazing job.
Alabasta arc had really bad pacing, it could definitely use some help
I can definitely agree with you there. The pacing is particularly atrocious from the beginning to Yuba. They add in so much filler like the sand people and those two cowardly hero guys. And it's hard to skip because there's canon stuff like Vivi's flashback woven in.
You started Skypiea but it's still incomplete and badly in need of the One Pace treatment, just throwing that out there
It's hard to say just how badly Skypiea needs paced. It's 43 episodes, about 1.5 chapters per episode. The One Pace overview claims to 33 episodes, about 2 chapters per episode.
Assuming each One Pace episode averages at 30 minutes (Some One Pace episodes are shorter than 30 minutes, some are as long as 45 minutes, and some are 30 minutes, so I think this is a fair average), you're looking at 42 minutes cut. That's practically just cutting the openings and endings.
You know how for a lot of talking segments they talk in slow motion to fill up time. Have you thought about speeding them up? If you speed up some of these moments by 10% or 15% they often sound more natural and of course the pace is better
Sure the voice may sound natural sped up, but what of the background music?
hi all, just found out about one pace & am starting at thriller bark. I've never torrented before and so i'm not too sure how it works, though i managed to download the thriller bark batch. my question though is why i cant seem to get a video with subtitles? i've uploaded to my computer (chromebook) using utorrent and to my google drive but no subtitles are available. if there's an easier way i'm missing pls let me know lol
