Hey guys, I was recalling something from a few weeks ago (perhaps when chapter… 620 came out? maybe before. I'm not really sure.) You guys were discussing the cover story arc, and Steve was, of course, excited that Johnny and Yosaku would be shown, but I believe it was Jason who pointed out that we're seeing places, not people, and everyone was then unsure if we would see them.

I thought about it and there are two possibilities that I came up with. The first, less likely one is that we see them at Baratie. It's a restaurant in the middle of the ocean, perhaps they stopped there for a bite. I feel it's unlikely though as we have Zeff, Patty and Carne to there. The second, more likely place I feel, is a place that the Strawhats have been, but no characters of any sort of note remain there. Of course I'm talking of Loguetown. It would make sense - there's a marine base there, so perhaps they're picking up a reward for a bounty, and as I already mentioned, no characters of note that we met there should be there. Smoker and Tashigi left to chase the Strawhats, Buggy and Alvida are on the Grandline (and have plenty of speculation), Dragon should play a major role in future events (well, all characters mentioned probably will) and was last seen at the Revolutionary's base.

@WolfWood37:

I call Geno!

I wonder if anyone will know who I'm talking about.

Super Mario RPG. I'd find it sad if people actually didn't know that… I've always thought that it was a better game than any of the Paper Mario titles - not that the Paper Mario titles are necessarily bad, just that Super Mario RPG is better.

Anyways, great episode guys. As others have said, "Italian" Luffy was hilarious.

So I was listening to the episode and noticed you all got a little confused with Oda's mistake coloring Zoro's swords. It made me think a bit at first too, but looking at the hand guards, it's obvious that the sword in his mouth is still Wado Ichimonji. What's more interesting to me is how he's holding Kitetsu. He's holding like Doma and Strawberry hold their swords. I'm curious as to whether that's specific to the attack he used or a change of his.

One last thing. Youg guys mentioned that he seems to have switched the sword he uses when using only one from Wado Ichimonji to Shuusui. My theory on this is slightly different: It will depend on what he needs to do. So for when he needs extreme power (i.e. cutting a ship in half), Shuusui is required, but if he needs speed or balance, he'll use his one of his other swords.

@felton:

ehh, why "Spectrum" as chapter title? I mean is there any hidden/implied meaning related to the chapter content?

spectrum -
a broad range of varied but related ideas or objects, the individual features of which tend to overlap so as to form a continuous series or sequence: the spectrum of political beliefs.

@Lordzeb:

…is that a joke?

why would that be a joke?

@Coolnerd89:

Do elevators exist in the OP world?
I mean, everything else does, but I don't think I've seen one…

While not exactly a normal looking one, there was at least one in the figurehead of the Foxy Pirates ship that the Groggy monsters rode down when they were introduced for the Groggy Ring.

@Maki707:

So based on last time, the next chapter is likely to feature 4 of the strawhats before this timeskip.
Who does everyone want to see in the next chapter?
I wanna see Brook, Usopp Zoro and Robin :)

Want to see? Everyone. That's not going to happen, so here is my thoery:

I'm guessing Robin and Zoro will actually be the last two we see, with one or both explaining the messege that Luffy sent.
With that in mind, I'd say the other four will be who we see in this chapter, if we do in fact get 4 in this chapter, which I'm not convinced will be the case. If there's only 2, I'd guess Nami and … I'm not really sure about the second, so I'll just guess - Usopp.

I did have a second theory sort of pop into my head last night though, that the order they're being shown isn't random, but decided by when they joined the crew (though not in the order that they joined, obviously). We saw Chopper (5) and Sanji (4) last time, so under this theory the rest of the order would be Robin, Usopp, Franky, Nami, Brook, Zoro.
