RE: Chapter 437 "Naked But Great" Discussion
Since, apparently, some people haven't realized this, Robin only "grabbed" Franky once. After that, Franky was pretending that Robin was hurting him in order to give an excuse for his crying This is shown in the script linked to in the first post.

RE: Jojo's Bizarre Adventure
For some reason, at jojo.highervoltage.net, I can't download the Part IV chapters. Whenever I try to, I go to a page with a bunch of gibberish on it (that takes a really long time to load). Is there a problem with the page or is there something I'm doing wrong?

RE: Chopperman~! Short TV Specials.
I see it like this: zoans allow you change into an animal, and everyone except that species will think you are that animal. Thus, though other animals would think Chopper looks human, actual humans wouldn't. While us humans would think Lucci looks like a leopard, actual leopards would think he looks just as odd as full-human Chopper looks to us.

RE: Your First Presumptions
At first, I thought Bellmére was related to Sanji. Since I saw the second opening before the Arlong arc, and she was behind him smoking. XD
Same here XD.
Also:
- Before watching, I thought Nami was a princess from an island in the sky, combining Arlong, Arabasta, and Skypiea spoilers.
- Before I started watching, I read somewhere that everytime someone got into any danger, Mihawk would appear to save everyone's asses. This was one of the things that pushed me into watching Naruto first. Yeah, I have no idea WTF that guy was talking about.
- I thought Smoker was one of Sanji's nicknames.
- (just pretend "I thought" preceeds all of these posts) Sanji had the same ability as Luffy and was his rival.
- Foxy beat Luffy during the Davy Back Fight, causing him to lose his memory, but after meeting two crewmembers (one of whom had an afro) he regained his memory and fought Foxy again, beating him. I got confused reading an episode list and not realizing that the people after the shot of the Galley-La were just Luffy and Usopp in costumes.
- Both Foxy and Paulie were girls. This was before I actually saw pictures of them.

RE: Donflamingo the puppeteer. [May contain spoilers]
Luffy will beat DeFlamingo by wrapping tin foil around his head.

RE: Vice Admirals stronger than CP9?
CP9 is supposed to be an elite assassination group, most likely far beyond most of the Navy's normal forces. I'd say that, just like with the other shwon ranks, power greatly fluctuates between each person. For one thing, Saul, a vice-admiral, took out a bunch of Buster Call ships, which had other vice-admirals on them, and the only one to give him any real trouble was Aokiji.
Also, I doubt all high-ranking navymen are all uber-strong. That old lady from the Shichibukai meeting, Vice-Admiral Tsura, I believe, was, well, an old lady, and not the butt-kicking kind like Kureha.
I'd wager a guess that while all five vice-admirals can fight, all but two are well below CP9's level, and the other two (scarface, to make Aldrich happy, and mohawk) are only between pre-DF Califa and Fukuro. They have their rank mostly for their leadership and tactical abilities.
By the way, Aldrich, exactly what is that second picture in your sig supposed to be? It looks like a duck or something, but I'm not quite sure o_0.

RE: Chapter 428 "Let's Return" Discussion
I'm not sure if this was brought up (I jumped from page 8 to here, page 12, using 40 posts per page) but I thought it was interesting that, at least at first, the only ones who could hear Merry were Usopp, Luffy, and Chopper, aka the comedy trio.
Also, on the subject of the vice-admiral strength, that old woman at the Shichibukai meeting, Vice Admiral Tsura I believe, was, well, an old woman. Since she was labled as an "expert tactition" as opposed to a "zombie killer maiden" or something, I don't think she's that skilled at fighting by herself. This shows that you don't have to be super strong to get a high rank. Heck, I doubt Sengoku is all that strong too (the goat is the true powerhouse and the reason he got his rank).

RE: Episode Recommendations!
I'd say if you were alright with spoiling Robin joining and you could show several episodes, then Jaya or Davy Back Fight is the way to go, or if they don't want to spend too much times watching One Piece, Movie 4 would be fine too. If not, I guess the best you can do is Movie 2. I wouldn't recommend showing the Arlong Arc without more episodes to establish the characters for the viewers.
Concerning stuff like Luffy vs. Usopp, that would be by far one of the worst things to show to first time viewers, especially Narutards. Same goes for stuff like Luffy vs. Blueno and Bellamy, since no one likes straight pwnages unless you have a reason to hate the guy being pwned, which you don't get if you just go straight to the fight.

RE: Trying to get my friend to watch OP
No, didn't you listen to what I said?! From my experience, if they first thing they see of One Piece is the Bellamy fight, they'll think all fights are short and pointless with Luffy taking down the enemy without even trying. Not only that, but the fight just isn't satisfying if you don't see how much of an asshat Bellamy is. I wouldn't have a problem if you showed him the Jaya arc, but your friend only wanted to watch one episode, right?

RE: Official 4kids Dub Thread Mk III (The End Has Come)
The book seems to be a novelization of the first few episodes… I wonder how they'll handle it. "Helmeppo then held the hammer gun to Koby's head."? "The Navymen fired their water guns, only for the blasts to bounce off of Luffy's rubber body."? Or will they just ignore the edits and just describe them as guns, etc.?

RE: Trying to get my friend to watch OP
So Rapine, did you decide on an episode yet?
-
RE: Trying to get my friend to watch OP
NO! Don't show him something like Gear 2 or the Bellamy fight. Trust me, he'll think it's lame that Luffy beat his opponent so easily and will think all of the fights are like that.
You can't really get someone to like One Piece with one episode, but if any, I guess the Arlong Park episode with Sanji and Usopp's fights. I would also suggest Zoro vs. Mr. 1 but he might get turned off by Zoro's power up at the end.

RE: OP movie opinions (warning: spoilers)
The trailer must have been wrong then, because I don't think the sword guy and the gas guy had Devil Fruits either.

RE: New Official Viz Manga Discussion

RE: Chapter 421 "Gear 3rd" Discussion
I don't see why people can't get this. When Kaku was defeated, he consciously turned himself back into his human form to talk to Zoro. Jyabura was knocked out before he could transform, and thus stayed in the form he was in when he was defeated.
Well, after reading the RAW, I still think Lucci's going to come back. It just didn't have that "end of the fight" feel to me. I mean, it just doesn't have the same "OOMPH" the other "boss fights" had.
I think it'll go like this: Lucci geppous back and fights Gear 3 Luffy for a bit, but then Luffy turns chibi. Lucci beats up Luffy and then kicks him either out to sea or to the water below them. Then, Lucci goes to where Robin, Franky, and Spandam are. Spandam is glad to see him, but Lucci bitchslaps him away because he felt like it. Robin and Franky try to fight him, but are defeated. Meanwhile, everyone deals with the Buster Call, and someone saves Luffy. Luffy recovers and faces Lucci again. They fight while everything blows up around them, and Luffy defeats him with Giant Jet Axe or something like that.
If that doesn't happen, I will be mildly disappointed but still be blown away by what actually happens and continue reading.

RE: OFFICIAL RAW Discussion
Assuming the episodes past 274 are 1.5 chapters each, it should start at 276.

RE: Movie 7: Karakuri Shiro no Mecha Kyohei/Karakuri Castle's Mecha Giant Soldier
I just realized something all of the odd movies suck.
1,3,5,7. Are horrible in fans eyes (saw the battles on youtube weak. Though i did think 5 was ok)
Kind of like the Star Trek movies, except 2 isn't considered the best by everyone, and 5 was actually considered the best odd movie by several.

RE: Set sail for Dub Piece!
I was thinking; for, like, episode 10 or some other special episode, maybe you could dub one of the one-hour specials, or even a movie. Specials 1 and 2, in particular, seem to have a lot of potential.

RE: OFFICIAL 4Kids Dub Discussion Mk. II: Alabasta Disasta
Was it just me, or did 4Kids add in some scenes?
When Crocodile demonstrated his sandstorm power, there were a bunch of clips of earlier sandstorms that I don't remember from the original.
Also, when Mr. Prince called, I think they added in a scene of Sanji kicking a guy and taking his phone, because I'm pretty sure in the original the DDM just started ringing without any warning.

RE: Chapter 415 "Heat Increase" Discussion
That was an awesome fight. However, judging from the page-long spread, I'd say it's safe to say it's all over at this point. Thanks, Battle Franky.
Because Fukuro and Califa were definately defeated with a punch and Thunder Ball.

RE: OFFICIAL 4Kids Dub Discussion Mk. II: Alabasta Disasta
They won't cut out the last part of UsoCho vs. Mr. 4 Team.
It reveals one of Chopper's new forms, which means more marketing potential.
Here's how it will go:
Chopper: That explosion did the trick.
Ms. MC/GHD: Not so fast! (grabs Usopp) We're gonna take you DOWNtown!
Usopp: Ah Chopper help, these guys are way too strong for me and I'm scared, save me!
Chopper: I have an idea! Use your smoke star!
Usopp: Okay, you're the man! I mean reindeer! I mean reindeer-man! You go Chopper! uses smoke star
Ms. GHD: Ah! I can't even see my shadow!
Chopper: Horn Boost! transforms picks up Ms. GHD (imitating Mr. 4) Molehill Intersection Number 4 (or whatever it's called).
Mr. 4: Duhh…
hits Ms. GHD
Usopp: You go Chopper! I would have never been able to think of that, or imitate his voice like that! You really are great! And oh so cute!
Chopper: Now, Usopp, attach that rubber band to my horns and shoot that hammer at Mr. 4! It looks like it's three strikes for him!
Usopp: Got it!
Chopper: Chopper Hammer Comet!
Mr. 4: Duhh...
hit, knocked to Ms. GHD
final explosion
Usopp: Wow, Chopper! You're so smart! I would have never been able to handle them without you! Not in a million years! And that new form of yours is so amazingly awesome! It's soooo cool! Ahh...
faints
Chopper: Ahhhh! Usopp! ... He fainted because of how cool my new form was...

RE: Set sail for Dub Piece!
I personally think "264 -Operation Disembarkation Commences! The Straw Hats are Breaking In!" would be a great episode to do, especially the EL CP9's introduction. It would make my day if Luffy yelled "Leroy Jenkins!" when he Gum Gum Rocket'd to the Main Gate.
-
RE: One Piece In Ten Minutes Or Less
Well, for one thing, it would probably be a good idea to give a brief overview of the differences between the English dub and original. I believe "cut out 32 episodes worth of content", "removed both drama and humor", "changed music", and "added several puns and childish jokes" would cover it.
Also, it would be best if you only went over characters from earlier in the series. Possibly mention the entire Baroque Works ordeal, but don't bring up any crewmates past Sanji, or Chopper if you want to stretch it. But DO NOT bring up Robin and Franky/Paulie.
