Archivio per il tag: sbs one piece

D: Oda sensei, hello! The young mermaids in the towns and coves are all beauties, aren’t they? So, the question is, what did Ms. Kokoro look like when she was young? Please draw me a picture!!

O: Sure thing–. That’s it for this SBS~. See you in the next volume!!

2 Different Reactions, 1 Answer!

As stated by Eiichiro Oda Luffy reacted to Nami’s naked body (in volumes 18 and 23, and both times it happened, Usopp was with him) because when he’s with Usopp, who’s the same age, it’s like a kid on a school trip: his bad side comes out!! In other words, when Luffy is alone, his reaction with Nami is what it was with Hancock. He’s interested, but he’s not entranced by them.

 

D: Zoro and Sanji are always fighting! I was reading One Piece and thought it was odd that Zoro never seems to refer Sanji by his name, so I went back and checked!  I counted them up from Volume 5 to 66! Here are the results, ranked by frequency!!!

In conclusion, Sanji does in fact refer to Zoro by name, but Zoro does not return the favor! P.N. Little Marron

O: …Okay. Thank you very much, Little Marron! So you counted them all… This was very fun to read! Some of these terms made me wonder when they’d said these things. Indeed, I have trouble imagining Zoro calling him “Sanji” by name. Not once, eh? Wow. Well, they might not get along well, but they’re both valuable, trustworthy men who have Luffy’s back. So let’s forgive them their squabbles (laughs).

D: Hello, Mr. Oda! I noticed that Dressrosa was based on our home in Spain, so I decided to send you this letter as the speaker of our group. Why did you choose Spain? If you ever have reason to visit Spain, I hope you visit Barcelona’s Saló del Manga (a Catalan manga/anime convention). Nothing to be afraid of! Our women don’t stab you! P.N. Voice of the Pirate King

O: This is a condensed version of a letter I received from Spain. The Japanese was strange in a few places, so I think that must have come from one of those auto-translation sites. Thanks for the letter. You’re right about Dressrosa. It’s based on Spain, and Ancient Greece for the Colosseum parts.

When I took a close look at Doflamingo and tried to think of what country is suited him. I arrived at the conclusion of Spain. I’ve mentioned the lands of One Piece being inspired by real-life countries in the SBS before, but it’s the first time I got feedback from the residents of the country. I can’t be irresponsible in the way I draw, but if you do see anything that seems like a half-baked version of your culture or buildings, please forgive me. Remember, it’s just a manga.

D: Blows shouldn’t hurt Luffy, so why does he get bruises and swelling when Nami and the others beat the crap out of him?! Tell me!!!

Episode 215

Episode 316

Episode 572

O: When the crew beats up on each other, it’s always in admonishment with a strong sense of purpose, which is why it works so well!! It works on his spirit!! I bet Nami is thinking, “It’s his spirit that hurts deep down!!” …right? I guess not.

 

D: Sorry this is so sudden, Oda-sensei. Luffy’s favorite food is meat. What about everyone else on the crew? And you yourself, Oda-sensei???? Chapapapapaa! P.N. I Like Cup Ramen!!!

O: These are their favorites!!

• Luffy: ALL KINDS OF MEAT.
• Zoro: White rice, sea monster meat, stuff that goes with ale
• Nami: Oranges, all fruit
• Usopp: Pike from autumn islands, fish of the season
• Sanji: Spicy seafood pasta, stuff that goes with black tea
• Chopper: Cotton candy, chocolate, sweet stuff
• Robin: Sandwiches, cakes that aren’t too sweet, stuff that goes with coffee
• Franky: Hamburgers, french fries, stuff that goes with cola
• Oda: Often changes. Currently, qing jiao rou si.
