I found the part where Oda tells what character takes the longest to draw, to be really cool info. So that means, Hancock took a while for him to draw her. I already figured the Shogun Franky would take awhile. This SBS was pretty small, but I still enjoyed it like always. Impel Down kids were cool, my favorite Impel Down character is Domino, and she's playing football (soccer), very cute. =D Thanks for the quick translations CCC!!! And thanks for the RAW redon!!!!!!!

@stephen:

The cover does look neat, I love the illustration, but the font and overall design is so bland, it might as well be a chapter cover for how little the entire image sticks out…

Yeah, that's what struck my mind when I first saw the cover, it does look like it could be from a chapter cover.

I'm sure Cross Manage will be canceled, but I'm going to purchase all the volumes that are released eventually, love KAITO's lacrosse/romance series!

Cross Manage is still entertaining to me, but it will surely get canceled. But I'm fine with that since it looks like KAITO is wrapping things up nicely, though it would be really surprising if the rank goes up when we reach the last few chapters, I've noticed that Komatsu's focused chapter (when she was involved in wanting to quit the team) had a better rank (14) so when we reach the other Komatsu chapter it might rank better again. Either way I'm enjoying this series even if Japan's kids are not.

Here's some good news, the cover for volume 1 of Cross Manage was released, I love KAITO's art.

I'm seriously on cloud 9 with each issue from Weekly Shonen Jump, all these new series being added are going to be great I just know it from the preview so far, One Punch Man, now Dragon Ball Z in color!!? Woo hoo!

Awesome chapter, just read it on US Weekly Shonen Jump issue. I love Robin's cute bear? robe/coat. And the other Straw Hats' clothing! So Kinemon is back and the kids are all cured by Law cutting them up… ok, hope Oda shows it to us to explain it better. I always love to read party scenes, they just bring each side together and have a great party. Momonosuke's character reveal was very rewarding, I didn't expect him to have that traditional cut, though he is from a Samurai land. Also, Kinemon said something to Momonosuke that sounded like there are more Samurai like them that are lost and need to be found. "We must have faith that they are also alive and well!". The callback to Bellemere was very sweet, and seeing Nami smile and acknowledge Tashigi as a strong but gentle sailor lady was great. I'm so psyched for what's to come from One Piece now that Oda has officially given us the preview of what Luffy will be going through until he reaches the One Piece or maybe before!!!? =D =D

Just read the chapter from Viz Weekly Shonen Jump also and this chapter really had Franky, Nami and Usopp written all over it! Nami's Thunder Breed Tempo was awesome, she can now literally control the weather!!!
Usopp's Grass Chomp and Grown-Up Black Kabuto were explained in this chapter finally, and it's awesome. I think someone on the Unofficial One Piece Podcast asked if Franky would do a Coup de Vent with the General Franky, and he did, didn't he? Though it's called General Cannon, it's still awesome and the girls' silent reactions to the General is still pure comedy. The first thing I thought when I saw the mysterious man at the end, was Kuzan, since he stated "I overslept", then I thought I saw a cross which made me think Mihawk, but then someone gave a HQ raw scan which showed that was not possible. So it's either Kuzan, or a new character is appearing. I also noticed Sanji's blushing face when the Straw Hats appeared in front of Baby 5 and Buffalo, I really want to see Baby 5 interact with the Straw Hats! Just an awesome overall chapter!!

@Aaronrules380:

Rejoice, for the newest manga to be added to SJA will be One-Punch Man!

I checked out this manga before but never really thought much of it. But, now that Viz is going to translate this, I looked into it more. Yusuke Murata, the artist that did Eyeshield21!? Sweet, I'm going to look forward to this a lot!! =D I love his style of drawing.

@fogdark:

So, I thought it'd be interesting to give publicity to the new Dragon Ball Z movie, by at the same time giving publicity to film Z. And thanks to a special feature in the DBZ movie' site, the "Moji Maker Z", now I can haha

I did this too, it's a pretty fun tool. =D

Here's another one:

I'm a bit late to this thread discussion, but I finally had some time to play this game and I beat Morgan on my first try! He was a bit challenging, but I had Luffy with Gomu Gomu Pistol Lvl 2, and Combo leveled with 3 combos for the triangle attack. Zoro was the one who was getting his tail kicked, but I kept him alive and actually finished Morgan with Zoro, just like in the manga!! So far the game is very fun and since I have some basic knowledge on katakana and hiragana it's really not that hard to understand most of the items and menus. If they do a sequel, what would they be able to add differently from this one? I was thinking they wouldn't make another game like this until the manga is really far, close to ending, or has ended. It would make so much more sense to call the next one "One Piece Romance Dawn to the New World".

Thanks for all the video updates so far! I didn't see any indication of Vivi being playable. I'll wait for more confirmation. It's great that we are able to play with all the Straw Hats.
