Nobody dies in One Piece.

inb4 Ace and Whitebeard butthurtery.

>>17270
So pointing out people that died and thus proving you wrong is somehow not valid? It's not like Ace and WB are the only casualties of the series.

>>17272
They're pretty much the only two characters in the series who died in the "present" who I would be surprised to see alive again.

>>17273

seriously? Oda hammered it in that BOTH of them died, I mean they said it a lot and then they were buried. Also, tons of side characters have died, especially recently.

All of this being said on the grounds that you aren't using the oldest troll in the book for OP fans.

>>17296
>seriously? Oda hammered it in that BOTH of them died, I mean they said it a lot and then they were buried.

What's your point? Anon said those two are the only ones it would be a surprise to come back.

>Also, tons of side characters have died, especially recently.
All I can think of are Roshio, Bellamy, Sarquiss, Yama, and Nero.

Plus, "especially recently" is mostly because most character survivals, especially minor ones, are only revealed long after the fact (like Arlong). I only even said those ones because it's past the point where we'd see them turning up alive (in contrast, I would give the fake hats, minus Demalo and Cacao, about a year before calling it).

>>17303
>All I can think of are Roshio, Bellamy, Sarquiss, Yama, and Nero.
Plus Shura, Satori, possibly Ohm, Miss Monday, Mr. 9, Mr. 11...I'm sure there are others.

>>17305
>Plus Shura, Satori, possibly Ohm
I would imagine at least two of them survived, otherwise they wouldn't be saying "priests".

>Miss Monday, Mr. 9, Mr. 11
I did forget about them though (rather, I forgot Miss Monday and just forgot to write 9 and 11 down).

>>17307
Japanese rarely bothers with numbering nouns. "Priest" and "priests" is going to be the same word about 90% of the time, relying on context to figure out how many there are.

I'm not disagreeing with you since 99% of the characters who look like they were "killed" were just maimed or had their dreams shattered and come back later (who would've thought Spandam was still alive after that, for example?), I'm just saying that the fact "priests" was used instead of "priest" is probably just something the translator decided upon, and not canon.

>>17321
o_O Now that I did not know. So it is possible that only Ohm survived. (Because seriously, he was the least injured of those three...)
Still, if it was only one priest that they chucked onto the cloud you'd think they'd use his name. So dude still does have a point.

>>17322
Giadatsu/Gedatsu/whatever his name is is alive and well.

On another note, the infinitely random and mostly unnecessary brothers of Satori said their brother had been killed.

Which makes one ponder how a kick to the head is more powerful than getting your spine snapped in half or exploding next to a bomb.

One Piece logic.

>>17339
I know Gedatsu is alive. The other three are the ones I'm talking about. Gedatsu was already falling to Alabasta by the time Enel was defeated, so his status isn't an issue.

About Satori...didn't Sanji pretty much crush his neck? That would at the very least leave him paralyzed. It does make sense that he may have been killed by that blow.

>>17340
Nope.

Just a kick to the forehead.

>>17344
Well it was a downward kick to the forehead...

>>17345
... though it would be kind of weird to pull out the old cartoon head bumps for someone dying.

Since this is One Piece it probably isn't really safe to assume, but doesn't being exiled to the desert cloud more or less mean death for the three priests? IRCC, isn't it akin to setting someone adrift at sea in a row boat without any oars or supplies?

>>17346
FWIW, I'm pretty sure the official English version doesn't have his brothers saying he's dead. (I can't check right now because my nephew's borrowing that volume.)

>>17357
Yeaaaah, Conis did say it was a death sentence, didn't she? Unless they bumped into something (or jumped off, like one fanfic had Shura do) they're screwed.

...On that note, the whole thing with the priests getting put on a desert cloud has been bothering me lately. So it's bad when they do that to trespassers in Upperyard, but somehow it's ok when the good guys do it to them? Maybe it's just because I like the priests, but it still seems like a double standard.

>>17357
>>17358
Not to mention it was spoken of as if it was being lenient because they weren't considered that much of a threat. Unless it was suppose to be somehow different than the cloud drifting Level 5 criminals got.

>>17360
I doubt its anything like impel down. You know how some people say desert island instead of deserted island? I think its something like that.

>>17362
Sorry, not Level-5, Class 5 (as in what the Strawhats were branded as for opposing the White Berets).

Bon Clay died right? Atleast (im terribly sorry and will probably do something to justify my crimes against the world) in the anime, Magellan says "Any last words?", to wich he replies "Success"(or something) similar, and then he is supposedly killed.... Might be that he's gonna come back, but dead for now

>>18731
It wasn't a flashback and he wasn't Ace or Whitebeard.

>>18731
Bon Clay is a joke character half the time. Man, you don't kill the joke characters.

>>18732
>>18733
So no acctual reason why he should still be alive? Magellan aint a forgiving man you know

>>18735
No rational reasons. Only genre savvy reasons.

Instead of killing him, Magellan probably delivered him to Vegapunk to be turned into a Pacifista so that he could be sent to destroy the friend he had worked so hard to help escape. It will be a tearful battle where they try and repeatedly fail to break through to the now-cyborgized Bon Clay, until finally they break through and Bon Clay turns on the Big Bad of that arc (although obviously he doesn't beat him--that's Luffy's job. Instead he will do something that makes the Big Bad beatable).

>>17358
you say official like it means something.

>>17167

It sucks, yet somehow it totally seems like something the guy who wrote One Piece would do. Stick by your friends even when they do something illegal and stupid. Publically announce you intend to mantain the friendship despite the fact that you might lose fans because you don't want to lie to your fans either. Or I'm just making shit up.

It also sucks because despite the fact that I thought Toriko would be ruined forever for me, I still find myself enjoying it. It's just to damn crazy awesome to hate. And I really liked the anime crossover with One Piece because it explained stuff about the new series while still keeping Luffy and Toriko on the same level of badassery instead of having the new guy be overpowered and saving the day by himself.

But. Um. Oda. He's a pretty cool guy.

Nearly nobody dies in One Piece? Nobody dies in One Piece without a significant reason?

>>17167
See, now I can't help but wonder if that's why Toriko is such a (gourmet) sausage fest.

>>18743
That doesn't make any sense

The scandel wasn't that he was fooling with young boys.

>>18744
(Well, there's Komatsu...)

I was thinking more along lines of "He's worried people will bring up his sex scandal if he ramps up the fanservice, so he's playing it safe by having fuck all women."

>>18742
Doesn't bother me too much now that I know she was 16. Paying high-schoolers for sex is still megalame, but the way it was phrased (plus because it's [i]Japan/i], let's be honest) you hear "underage girl" and assume the worst.

>>18745

Out of the few main girl characters so far, one was mistaken for a dude, one's an old lady, one's a tiny fat woman who tricks people into thinking she's attractive, and...I guess Rin would count though. And Tina, but she's only a main character in the anime so she probably doesn't count.

None of the guys are really interested in the girls much though, it's mostly bromance. And food fanservice.

Has anyone else seen the One Piece/Toriko crossovers?

>>18766
Yeah, I really liked the anime xover.

>>18766
I'm pretty sure the anime ended up adding more Tina specifically because otherwise there would be no girls for dozens if not hundreds of episodes at a time.

>>18771

Probably. And for exposition. She's still annoying though.

>>18768

Me too! The characters were balanced in terms of power, Sanji and Komatsu were balanced in cooking skills, we got to see characters who won't be in the anime for a while, and Toriko almost ate Chopper!

...Okay, I'll stop fanderping now. Is there a Toriko thread in /jam? I feel silly talking about it on the /op board.

>>18773
Nope. Feel free to make one, though.

some more funny ones

lol this cracks me up everytime

>>18996
chapter 69, ok. chapter 626, 2+6=9. fish nami is in chapter 69 hmmm. there might be a pattern here.

>>19129
And 6+2+6 = 14, and 1+4 = 5, so clearly the fact that Oda decided to put out a 626th chapter is a sign to his Discordian fans! Now to figure out what...

>>19129
>2+6=9

>>19131
My God, I didn't even notice. That's hilarious.

Anymore advice Odas?

Does anyone have the blank template? Memegenerator's not working.

One Piece for real: Usopp's "K…

good job on the Kabuto, Oda.

>>24355
Urk! My own Kabuto has been put to shame by my greatest enemy...wood! My PVC one doesn't (well, didn't) hold a candle to this...

>>24355

All of my dreams~ They're true~

>>24355
>designed to look like a beetle's horns
>called Kabuto

....I feel like such a fucking retard for not noticing this eons ago

>>24355
big burly guy can't shoot the kabuto like ussop.

Ussop confirmed for badass.

>>16948
Haha! The child doesn't get a name. Seriously though, does anybody know what it is? Not that it's important, it's just that I've had a hard time finding it out via the interwebs.

>>24453

It's probably the same case as the kid of the creators of Yu Yu Hakusho and Sailor Moon.

They call him "Petit Ouji" or something when they talk about him in interviews.

They don't want the fact that they're well-known mangaka to affect their child in a negative way as he grows up.
