Luffy got slashed in the brain by Django, and he's fine.
Luffy got a METAL BLADE IN HIS SKULL and he's fine.

That's a shame.. but he really should have thought about the possible consequences.
The possible consequences are bullshit.
Where the fuck is Usopp? If there's a single human being in all of existence that Luffy loves as much as adventure, it's Usopp.
Also, the entire theme of One Piece is about heroic characters who don't let lame shit like girlfriends get in the way of their accomplishments.
Guys, Franky showing skin is totally ok, cuz he's straight.
This is assuming too much, imo.
@robbybedfart:
But yellow actually has a lot of red in it naturally, when coloring by adding shading (black) it can turn to a nasty green very easily, so you have to keep adding red to keep a yellow tone to it. Yellow doesn't make itself after shading comes into it, but green remains green.
Huh. I'd noticed that, didn't realize that was the reason. That actually makes a lot of sense.
@Kaba:
Voila! The color wheel!
http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff187/ymokriy/th_color-wheel.jpg
That's a digital color selection tool, it's not the actual color wheel. Traditional media operates on combinations of the primary colors red, blue, and yellow. For whatever reason, monitor colors use red, blue, and green.
Both art and writing require contrast. A comic with nothing but one-dimensional badass characters would be incredibly boring. That's why Usopp is the greatest fucking character ever.
Running around in speedos, thrusting your crotch and shouting "SUPAA" With your legs wide apart don't mean shit.
This is good advice. That's how I got my first job.
If you think there is nothing wrong in this at 01:18, then I hope you never become a father.
Oh noes, they're grinding their sex bits against each other, as if they were a pair of common heterosexuals at a dance club.
If you think this at 02:42 is not disgusting, then thats your own taste, or maybe the lack of it.
Haha, you mean the fat chick in a bikini? Man, you're a dick. They're fuckin' Venus de Milo compared to the average Christian woman.
FYI, Folsom Street Fair (the subject of your second link) isn't a Gay Pride event. It's a BDSM festival that takes place on Folsom Street, a famous sex and porn shop district in San Francisco. It's not like 6 year olds are passing it on their way to school.
By the way, watch the faces of the people in the video you posted. Do they look like they think they're engaged in some heinously evil act, or do they look like they're just having a good time? How despicable a human being do you have to be to set that to spooky music as if it's some Nazi procession?
Also, lol at the "Americans for Truth" site. I like how they put "everything" in "quotes" just to "be" "dicks."
do you guys know the story of Lot?
according to The Qur'an, Sodom was destroyed because its people were queers and doesn't want to give up queerness after many warnings.
lol, this shit is so dumb. Lot tries to sell his daughters into prostitution, and because the people of Sodom didn't all rape his girls like good religious people, God killed them all? And then Lot's wife was vaporized, because, why not, I guess. Maybe God's wrath is like a nuclear bomb, which, as the fifties told us, only kills you if you look at it.
Why are people obsessing over this when there are so many other things wrong with the anime?
The anime itself doesn't fit the mood of One Piece.
Actually, Boa Hancock is Luffy's mother. After she escaped from the Tenryuubito, Dragon captured her, and used her to sire two children. Dadan Portgas is their adoptive mother, who found them after Dragon dumped them at sea, following a dream where his younger child kills him.
Luffy, unknowingly, falls in love with Boa Hancock and ends up ironically killing Dragon. Before he dies, Dragon reveals to Luffy that Boa is his real mother - Luffy, in a fit of self disgust and anguish, stabs out his eyes. Then he finds the One Piece or something.
Ace had prison sex with Bon Kurei.
After Luffy storms Impel Down, the four desperate criminals (Crocodile, Das Bones, Bon Kurei, and Mr. 3) all join.
Luffy is unaffected by Boa Hancock's powers because he devoted himself to Zoro.
Bon Kurei will easily defeat Boa Hancock, take her face, and use it to enslave thousands of men for a new pirate fleet.
@Zik:
Why do ppl keep referring to the females as a pair of tits, do ppl actually get aroused by these drawings?
If they didn't, who would give a shit about Margaret? We know next to nothing about her.
!
Why the heck does this character already have a substantial fan-following? We don't know her personality at all - as far as I can tell she doesn't really have one. Of the four named Amazons introduced last chapter, she's by far the least interesting. We don't even know 100% that her name is Margaret.
Are OP fans really so desperate for another pair of tits to join the Straw Hats? Seriously, go get laid.
@Fire Fist:
Bounties don't reflect a person's strength, they only reflect their threat to the WG.
This.
The WG doesn't care about Chopper at the moment because they think he's just a pet. If they realized he was a fighter, I'd say his bounty would be about the same as Nami's - strength regardless, he doesn't have a criminal personality and he hasn't beaten anyone notorious, aside from Kumadori. If not for him, Chopper's only bounty-worthy act would be lending aid to pirates, which the WG doesn't consider a crime unless it's someone really dangerous.
I <3 Chopper, I'm just sayin'.
Bege's power is to teleport his gihugic army of pirates out of nowhere.
@Masa:
A One Piece live action movie will be made in 2010. They will skip all the way to the Shabondy Archipelago arc.
http://www.commercialappeal-web.com/idiva/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/cover.jpg
This guy will play Trafalgar Law.
I think you mean Toni Toni Chopper.
I considered it, but I don't think the mods will understand this great genius. So I saved them the headache.
I assumed you just didn't want to spoiler as many people.
The point is less about Blood + and more about how anime in general is utter shit.
Has anyone heard of this sweet-ass show? Check it out! BLOOD PLUS.
I know absolutely nothing about the show, but the first few minutes of that clip probably told me everything I need to know. Apparently this show is really popular, probably because of its FANTASTIC ANIMATION (lol.)
Is it just me, or has anime gotten really, really bad?
(posted here, because in "Other Anime", someone probably legitimately likes this show.)
Duval is actually Luffy, who went back in time to stop himself from going to the New World, which turned out to be the biggest mistake of his life.
It's Higuma the Bear.
After he was swallowed by the sea king, he was spat out in the grand line and became a sea bandit who hates pirates and hates Luffy and Shanks for ruining his life.
He's also had years to train and become a badass.
@Mr.:
The explosion caused by Kuma sends all the SH's to OZ. There, they must search for the wizard to find their way home.
Luffy must tap his sandles together and repeatedly say "There's no place like home"
But before they go back, Robin finds the Rio Poneglyph in the Wizard's castle.
I'm assuming the segue between "reflection powers" and "bear paws" is some kind of Japanese homonym, but how do reflection powers turn into paw bullets and compressed air bombs?
Not to mention, if he doesn't have teleportation powers like we all assumed, where the heck is Perona?
Kuma is only there to teleport the Straw Hats to their all-expense-paid dream vacation, which Luffy won at a raffle in Loguetown.
Actually, that was Apple D. Jacks, and he was Saulo's second cousin thrice removed.
I don´t understand why they even let him join the CP9, since he could only use four of the six basic rokushiki abilities.
Actually, I believe he was in CP7.
The first poster defined fodder - a character who you think deserved a longer fight scene but instead was quickly beaten up to show that another character was a lot stronger.
So can we stop the fooking semantics?
T-BONE!
If he doesn't have a chapter story or come back later, I'm going to be so sad. D:
But also Jigoroh.
When they clean out your ears in America, don't they just use water?
The One Piece is a special arrow which has pierced all Devil Fruits at one time or another. By obtaining this arrow, Luffy will become Requiem Luffy, and will gain the power to bend reality.
I'm barely half way through it, but I suspect Koichi in Part 4 of JoJo is gay for Josuke.
No way.
But creepy nerdy guy (the one with the wooden doll Stand) is gay for Koichi.
@Komrade:
Yeah, but I remember him remarking about how beautiful he thought Dio was. He wasn't part of his army (probably as he thought he was dead), but he probably would of if he knew he was alive.
Plus he called his lazer eyes…like, "Sticky Eye Shot Beams" or something. I forgot it exactly, but it was possibly the gayest/least threatening attack name ever
That was Dio's attack, yo.
Dio has too little regard for others to be considered gay or straight, although everyone is gay for Dio (including Jonathon and Abdul, explicitly.)
I'm confused. The British just take American shows and show them on British TV, don't they? Why in the hell doesn't America jst do that instead of spending millions to make crappy knock-offs?
Two reasons.
#1 - the audience that American TV networks target are notoriously stupid xenophobes.
#2 - because the original British shows actually END. The American version of The Office would run until we're all dead if they could keep people watching it for that long. The longer the series runs, the longer network executives can avoid having to come up with another "original" idea.
Nakie time!! 8D
…Nah, really, I'd want to see Ace & Luffy growing up together. Nakie time would be a very close second, however. ;3
I have a terrible feeling you are going to get flamed out of your mind for making this topic, though, and that this is going to turn into an ACE IS/ISN'T DEAD debate very, very soon...
ACE IS A LIE
ACE IS A LIE
ACE IS A LIE
ACE IS A LIE
@Fire Fist:
Considering he's an old man and has probably been in the Vongola Family for many years, not really.
Doesn't change the fact that he beasts everyone.
Batholomew Kuma actually sent Perona back in time, where she inadvertently became Usopp's grandmother.
Probably not. Like Afro Luffy, I think this is just a gag Oda came up with to make the arc more fun.
But they clash with the personalities of the characters. Despite Oz being a different character, he has Luffy's exact personality. Luffy's NEVER the kind of person who would say the following:
"OMFG!!! A COMMAND UNIT?!?! THERE'S A FUCKING COMMAND UNIT IN MY STOMACH!!!"
"HOLY SHIT, THIS IS SOOOO COOL! I'M LIKE A FUCKING ROBOT!"
Notice how completely out of character that is and how inappropriate the usage is. Considering One Piece is a shounen manga, that type of thing is the last thing you'd expect from one.
I might be wrong, but I think his "fucking" and "holy shit" are directly translated from the Japanese text. I know Luffy says "bastards" all the time.
I thought some of the swears made sense in context. They'd work better if there were less swears in the rest of the chapter.
And yeah, having Chopper say "zomg" is pretty tacky.
But thanks for the fast scan <3
His signature looks like "Eiichiro Cola".
It's funny how he spells One Piece with an X through the O.
Most of the people in this thread seem to be confusing "good" and "likable."
He's evil and likable. I don't know how there's any room for debate there.
Has anyone ever attempted creating a paper and pencil RPG system based off the OP universe? Instead of creating a character within a set class, the players would develop completely unique characters, and figure out their own movesets.
In the right hands, this seems like it could be a really fun game, so I'm trying to think of the best system for it. Any suggestions?
I'm thinking an elemental system close to MegaTen's might be best for figuring out the properties of some of the weirder Logia or Paramecia types. Basically, every attack is given an elemental property, and characters have one of 5 reactions to that property.
Luffy, for example, would be Strong against bash attacks, Immune to Electricity, and Reflects bullet. Crocodile would be Weak against water, Immune to regular physical attacks. Ener would we Immune to everything besides Rubber.
Speaking of Drum, Santa Clause will deliver weapons to the 4 children of prophecy who are destined to usurp the Snow Queen and end the Drum Kingdom's eternal winter.
This will happen once Richie makes it to Drum, and awakens to his true calling.
I have no right to judge about Oda's storytelling skill. All I can say is I'm losing interest in this series after EL arc has ended. [Out of topic]But the forum is still interesting, so I still come back to check out the discussions.
I agree with you partially. You have to read some other series to understand why some of the members here complain about Nami, or even Robin.
I know naughts about Tenchi Muyo, but I hardly see any females fighting in Shaman King as well.
The Japanese are still pretty sexist. The only artist I've seen who's really pushed for equality in terms of fights is Hirohiko Araki (Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.) Part 6 is almost nothing but girl on girl action, except it's every bit as insanely bloody as the much more male-focused chapters.
