The best Usopp scene is in Nebulandia where he straight up snipes a bullet out of thin air like it ain't no thing.

SMILEs are zoan fruits, the human human fruit is a zoan fruit. What's the chance that we see a human gifter in this arc? "Man man, the human SMILE user"

Do you have the chapter for that? Because I reread that part a few weeks ago and I don’t remember him carrying any fruits.


Oh you meant the ability of having 2 fruit powers, not taking the fruit from a dead body. Marco said it was due to Blackbeard’s unique body, something he had before eating the Dark fruit(for example in the flashback it was revealed he doesn’t/can’t sleep).

I'm pretty sure that Blackbeard just ate some of Whitebeard. Like, that's how Big Mom got her fruit power.

I'm 100% down for a rescue Ace arc except this time it's the strawhat armada, the entire revolutionary army, and probably Big Mom who is still mostly just trying to kill Luffy but she just absolutely shitcans half of the Marines trying to do it.

I'm really hoping we get the fight at all. I'm crossing my fingers that we've mostly gotten clashes and one-hit defeats is because Oda is trying to rush things along because of something super special going on with Chapter 1,000.

Do we know that Kinemon’s Foxfire is a form of haki, as opposed to just some pro swordsman poo poo? Zoro extending his slashes to cut ships in half isn’t haki since Mihawk does the same poo poo and Buggy got cut into like twenty pieces without dying horribly, and honestly I’d assume that’s a form of haki before punching/kicking with fire.

I don't think that haki actually allows you to hurt Buggy with a sword. Like it can let you beat up a guy made of rubber but no amount of successfully cutting Buggy in half really matters.

Chopper being clutch AF was already pretty great but then he had to smack Queen so hard everyone collectively went “oh gently caress”. It just goes to show, all the Strawhats* own, some just don’t get very many chances to flex it.

I just love how he was like "Okay, I was a bit busy with synthesizing an entire counter virus with the stuff I had in my pockets, but it looks like someone needs to knock this guy's teeth out brb." This is the second awesome chopper doctoring while fighting scene in Wano. If Oda doesn't shunt Robin's entire fight off screen Wano will be the best arc in the series.

The trouble with being a translator is that you have to make sure that things are accurate, which doesn't always leave room to make them interesting.

The fan translations lean toward making things sound cool and the official ones lean toward making them accurate.

A good translation needs to be interesting AND accurate.

Edit:

I looked up the raws and it looks like Dogstorm expresses the idea in that exact way "We are both at a disadvantage." Which is why it was translated that way. That's why ideally you have a translator-editor-proofreader cycle. The translator puts the concepts into the target language, the editor makes it sound good in that language, and the proofreader makes sure the editor didn't gently caress up the translation. At the very least we can thankfully count on the dude translating official One Piece to not gently caress up on the details, which is good.

Disclaimer: I don't speak Japanese but I can get by in Chinese and I have some experience working with translators putting academic papers into English.

It occurs to me that

Big Mom has been pretty nice to people who are nice to her, that's just a limited amount of people because most people don't get the option to be nice to her because she's currently a despotic overlord of a horrifying candyland.

But like, the kids when she was young (until she ate them), the guy who can make food out of stuff, etc.

Yes, very respectful of Japanese terminology. Like Oden's loyal retainers, Dogstorm and Cat Viper. Whose god drat proper noun names got translated.

I know they were introduced before Wano proper, but I really can't get over how bad that decision was. They could have at least made them both one word or two word names for consistency!

Yeah those ones are a weird choice, but he usually errs on the side of keeping the literal meaning in the translation rather than making something that sounds good.

Like Inuarashi and Nekomamushi sound good and fine as names for people but they contain meanings that he really wants you to know... for some reason. It's a tough tightrope to walk as a translator between accurately conveying meaning and accurately conveying the feeling of a word.

Like in Chinese there's an idiom "人山人海" which literally translates to "people mountain people sea". I have no doubt that he would translate it as "There's a mountain... or a sea of people here!" instead of "Wow! That's a lot of people!"

One is "correct" and one is "something an actual person might say".
