Umh, Oda doesn't like to draw pantyshots, does he? ... I think Rebecca's loincloth is hiding much below ... So do his female characters actually

Spoiler

Yer better not think any further, will yer?

 

[ukimix]

U mean like an expert in kamabakka arts? Tbh, it's possible.

 

[MiyamotoMusashi]

Here the wrestlers most of the new characters are either modeled after, or named after or even both

May I ask something? In vol.64, Hody Jones shoots a water drop against a soldier,and that drop runs for 150 Km. It was also said that fishmen island counts 50,000,000 citizens. Once hody attacked,a lot of people debated here about the fact there had to be some mistakes,either in the length or in the amount of the population. I also heard that oda corrected those mistakes for the volume. Does someone know what the author modified?

No idea, but welcomback!

 

[k-dom]

There is no more reference to a distance in the volume chapter. You can check it by looking at mangarule volume translation.

 

[Akainu]

In chapter 624, volume 63, Otohime mentions that there are 5 million inhabitants on FI, that though was a flashback of a decade or more ago compared to the storyline, so there might have been some migration inbetween. The thing with the 50 million inhabitants was probably a translation error, nothing on Oda's side.
The waterdrop attack you mention is likely the one in chapter 631 of volume 64, there is no talk about the size of FI from what I see.

 

[Schabrak]

It was a mistake and IIRC corrected in the editor-comment of the next WSJ, I think that was one zero to many.

Did you really check it up?

What about the panel here: v64 chap 631 p11 It clearly states 150km in the mangarule version on batoto.

Original spoiler for the chapter. It's quiet obvious that FI couldn't be 150km in diameter, when it's only 10km below sea level. Here is the excerpt from the ToC:

It was in the Table of Contents of Shounen Jump in the Chapter 632 issue. Mangakas often leave messages there and this was the message Oda left (according to Aokiji, a translator from APforums):

“I realized I made a mistake before the publish date, so I’m gonna send a ‘please don’t notice’ beam to everyone in the country.”

 

[mattiaildivino]

Oh thanks,so that was the mistake , yet, 5 millions are too many inhabitants as well,especially if they live in an island of just 15 km in diameter. Well,since the island is made of different layers (the noble ones above,the poor ones below) we can accept it. Thanks to everyone

 

[k-dom]

Did you really check it up?

Yes I did, that's why I speak of the Volume translation. The one you linked to is the magazine original one so of course it still contain the mistake. Here are the raw and mangarule volume version for info.

The Mangarule translations on Batoto are the ones released a few days after the chapter release, so the tankobon version is not available at that point. Later on, MR buys the raw volume and translates it again with better scans and, under circumstances, with corrections of mistakes.

CCC and footnote posted "Lucy and the Colossus of Kratos" in APforums. Its 19 pages, here the first and the link to the others:

[hoeru]

Just a guess, but could Rebecca's character design is based loosely on Sophitia Alexandra from the Soulcalibur game series?

U mean like an expert in kamabakka arts? Tbh, it's possible.

Uhm.... What?

I may have lost too much blood to understand.

 

[thornofcarrion]

We will soon be launching Bleach Tournament - Second Edition. We are looking forward for your participation. Here is the LINK to check out whats happening in Bleachverse

 

[MiyamotoMusashi]

Just saw this

 

[goldb]

Some of those are known, previously stated by Oda and the rest either bear a striking resemblance or are just over-reaching (ie. George Clooney, Hulk Hogan, Michael Jackson, etc).

 

[Schabrak]

I don't see the resemblence from Hordy and MJ, is it the curl on the forehead? Jango may appear like Tyler, but he's mostly MJ. Killer being modelled after Guy-Manuel de Homem Christo from Daft Punk, seems very doubtful. WB is only HH in appearance, maybe beard and bandana only.

But I wont judge as Oda uses a mix of real life personalities and legends to create completely new characters. We need a chart for personalities and traits too. :P It's gonna be HUGE!

Haha the tenryuubuto are modelled after a movie too. XD Thanks to Kirk@AP.

And MiyamotoMusashi, shouldn't you source your find to AP?

 

[FetherMan]

Rayleigh: This is why, you must understand "Law" and "History". They are not separate disciplines.
Rayleigh: Law and History go together like you left leg and your right leg. And if one is missing, your limping.
Rayleigh: i.e., your handicapped.
Rayleigh: And people are looking at you like, with the screw face / sucked on the lemon type expression and telling you what their leader guys said.
Rayleigh: Not realizing that not knowing Law, which begins with you, is unforgivable and unaccepted by the civilized world. It's all principles that we all have to live by.

Luffy: And you can't talk opinion without Law.

Rayleigh: exactly.
Rayleigh: And a person like that is dismissed.
Rayleigh: Most of these younger guys like yourself are coming into the New World without these principles, therefore your labeled as "Dead" in the eyes of Law.
Rayleigh: That's a legal classification, that's a legal obligation for the World Government to perform acts of authority against your person.
Rayleigh: Piracy is the act of actions outside of Law and Order, that will not be tolerated in the next 100 years. You are dealing with establishment on a level of Political matters and Jurisdictional orders.

Luffy: But, what about the original knowledge and organizations that existed before this "established" order that came about, that we and the SuperNovas are against?.

Rayleigh: Let's start with legitimacy, based on power. Power comes with an "order" that "works" not only for the Superiors, but the followers as well. The origins you speak of, never worked on an established order and therefore, nearly led the human race into a chaotic world.
Rayleigh: So, now today, we need a proper and better construct for our people.
Rayleigh: We don't need a King or a Leader exactly, we need "plural", "Kings" and "Leaders" that are on the same page to work together in directing said societies into a world of Peace.
Rayleigh: And not destruction into our extinction.

Which one do you mean?

 

[Schabrak]

Ah damn you, that's yourself. XD

FetherMan: Why do you just paste it here and post without any kind of explanation?

Just look at the nick of the guy who posted it

Ehh... that's why I wrote that.
