One Piece

[DerpDaBerp]

were they like, silhouetted? Cuz if one looked like Jinbe I would really like to see the other one.

Here's hoping any other new member is a third female

 

[choknater]

kawaii imouto rei chan... your avatar makes me miss haruhi so much. she is so cute! i never watched seasno 2 yet!

 

[Reizilla]

Me neither xD but everyone's said it was a letdown compared to season 1. I suppose I'll have to watch it eventually though, I love Haruhi too much.


The picture didn't have silhouettes. I think one had a hoodie over his face or something. Not sure about the other. I'll try to look for it.

 

[Lore]

Season 2 was mostly disappointing only if you watched while it was airing. Endless 8 was just... ugh. If you only watch the first, second, and last episodes of 8, though, it's better.

 

[choknater]

that was the reality that repeated thousands of times right?

 

[Y.b.M.]

Yo, I'm kinda thinking that Vivi is going to join back up with them. Ya know she originally was suppose to join them but couldn't because of her responsibility. So with her and Jinbe that would make there crew complete....

 

[Reizilla]

I just realized that Scratchmen Apoo is from the Long-arm tribe that captured Brook xD


I love Vivi, but I don't really see what she would be able to do in the New World (aside from look pretty ). It's not like she's gotten much stronger or anything.

 

[choknater]

scratchmen apoo rofl what a silly name

 

[DerpDaBerp]

oh yeah, another thing Oda is best at. Names

granted some of them are based on actual historical figures

 

[NinjaFoxX]

im waiting for Oda to do some work with ZUN

 

[choknater]

i just love blackbeard's laugh

 

[Reizilla]

That ain't Perona! Horo horo horo horo horo!

She might be my favorite non-crew member. She's up there with Ao Kiji for sure.

 

[choknater]

i miss haruhi

but robin is great

 

[Reizilla]

I'll probably switch back and forth every so often. I've been catching up with the last 50 or so episodes of One Piece, so I had to go with Robin x)


Did Vander Dekken really die? It didn't really seem like a death scene, but I don't remember anything about him still being alive...

 

[john!]

nobody dies except ace

Spoiler

and uncle ben

 

[Reizilla]

Which is kind of the rule I was going off of, but I don't remember a scene where he was shown captured. And if he wasn't, Shirahoshi wouldn't have been able to move so freely. So he did die? Or did I miss the panel?

 

[choknater]

i think he just barely survived, and was captured alive

death scenes are usually very dramatized

 

[Virgilijus]

Van der Dekken was in teh jail cell with Hody; he's not dead, though he should be.

I think the only confirmed death in real time was Ace and Whitebeard. I kind of hope Bon Clay is dead since that would make his sacrifice worth something, but I have a feeling Oda will some how keep him alive.

 

[Jonas]

death scenes are usually very dramatized

and then they usually turn out not to be actual death scenes after all.

 

[Reizilla]

Ah, I guess I missed that part. I'll have to go look.

 

[Phoenix Lord']

and then they usually turn out not to be actual death scenes after all.

Ace. Whitebeard.

 

[choknater]

if bon clay and sabo aren't dead...........

-_-

 

[Reizilla]

I'd put money on Sabo being alive. That scene with Dragon is just too obvious. Or a giant trick.

As for Bon Clay, I can't imagine him getting out of that one

 

[choknater]

oh hm

i hardly remember the scene with dragon. probably cuz it was a small panel in the manga but full screen in the anime, which i have never watched

 

[Reizilla]

Yeah, I didn't catch it at first myself, but someone mentioned it and it makes sense. I forget what chapter it's in.

 

[Jonas]

There's no way Sabo is dead after that scene with Dragon. Also Oda kind of hinted at an adult Sabo with one of the title pages.
My guess is that he's alive and well and a high ranking officer in the revolutionary army. Perhaps even Dragon's adoptive son (fits with him being basically a blood brother to Luffy).

Imo he's even set up perfectly to grow up and hate the world government and the nobility with all his guts.

But oh well, I also predicted that Luffy and Big Mom would become friends, so don't take my predictions too seriously

Ace. Whitebeard.

I said usually. It just seems to happen a lot in OP that a bad guy gets so brutally beaten up (sometimes with swords) that you'd just assume they would have died, but then they're later revealed to be alive.

 

[Virgilijus]

There's no way Sabo is dead after that scene with Dragon. Also Oda kind of hinted at an adult Sabo with one of the title pages.

Sabo is dead.

Did you ever realize Ace had the tatoo ASCE on his arm, but the S crossed out? Well, that S stood for Sabo and crossing it out was to honor his memory. Why do I say this?

The picture you referred to. Look at Ace's tatoo. This picture is a 'what if Sabo lived' picture. There is no S and it's not crossed out because Sabo is still alive in this picture. However, in the actually canon of the manga, the crossed out S is still there because he really died.

 

[Jonas]

Ahh

That makes sense ;(

and Ace is also dead, so Sabo being in that picture doesn't necessarily make him alive.

 

[john!]

i agree with the picture not being canon, but i do think sabo lived. his "death" was shrouded in enough mystery that him being alive is completely feasible

 

[choknater]

wow, never got that detail. dang man, reading one piece needs so much attention to detail

 

[Reizilla]

Well, of course Ace thinks Sabo is dead. There's no possible way he could have known he survived. But just because Ace has that tattoo doesn't mean that Sabo HAS to be dead. Personally, I think it would be better if Sabo did die, but it's not impossible for him to still be alive.

 

[asianaussie]

i would not rule sabo out as dead

im hoping for him and dragon to come in as big goddamn heroes and save luffy from blackbeard's crew or something

 

[Phoenix Lord']

Since Ace is dead, Sabo might as well be dead too. One Piece doesn't kill off enough characters as it is, they can't go bringing back dead people just for fun.

 

[NinjaFoxX]

sabo aint ded tho

 

[Phoenix Lord']

His hat was floating in the water all destroyed and stuff, and that's anime code for a character being dead.

 

[NinjaFoxX]

no that anime code for he might be alive.

 

[Phoenix Lord']

If Sabo's not really dead, I'm gonna be pissed. Luffy finally got an actual sad backstory, Oda shouldn't ruin it by having Sabo not be dead.

 

[choknater]

i agree that the story is stronger if he's dead..

we'll see though

 

[NinjaFoxX]

Oda can make it work, maybe some Sabo is in the new world with no memories of his past, meets luffy as an enemy, and luffy beats him, maybe killing him if thats sadder, then before he dies,he remembers luffy and tears ensue. o3o

 

[Phoenix Lord']

Yeah, no.
