The One Piece card game is out in English and someone in one of my Discord servers posted Yamato's card and it's very funny that you have to legally call him Kozuki Oden



Looking at the website for it, this seems to be a one piece only CCG.

it seems to be like, mono colour only MTG commander as far as what you can build / play with...and there's "location" cards which seem to affect other things like the thousand sunny, so there must be some cards that affects kozuki oden specifically.

I never delved too deep into this game, does that suggest that there are cards that will only work if specific characters are in play? Is this an LCG or a traditional CCG?

If it's anything like Yu-Gi-Oh, then it's a way to have more "Kozuki Oden" cards in your deck for more consistent support use or without running into a duplicate clause that I assume this game has.

It's like how there's a dozen differently named Harpie monsters but they're all treated as "Harpie Lady" so there's consistent synergy with support cards.

In Yugioh if a card is <Always treated as X>, you're still limited to 3 in your deck.

This is literally the basis for the skull servant deck in Yugioh. There's a monster called King of the Skull Servants and its attack power is the number of monsters named "Skull Servant" in your graveyard x1000. There's also a ton of skeletons who have the effect of "this monster's name is "Skull Servant" when in your graveyard". so you just send like 8 of those to the graveyard and now have one of the strongest monsters in the game. But since its a 1-star monster with a base attack is like 100, it gets past a lot of monster effects that typically destroy powerful monsters because a lot of those target base attack power above certain levels or high level monsters.

It does make sense, although if he's already mastered the transformation then that does seem to be the end of the usefulness of the prior Gears. Looking like Gear 5 is gonna be the new default form.

That translation is good enough not to skip IMO.

It really is all go now, the cat's out of the bag and Im/the Elder Stars are going to be racing to stop the Straw Hats as soon as they escape from Egghead with Vegapunk.

And to think, we still don't know what the One Piece is and at this point I can barely hazard a guess.

I really like how it dovetails in with all the other inherited wills themes too. Luffy is an incredibly creative martial artist, but he has that power backed up and amplified by the wishes of people all over the world whereas many of the other characters we see are carrying on the passions of their parents or mentors. Also it's not in like some hacky spirit bomb type deal. I assume that if Luffy for whatever reason experienced a personality shift and turned into another tyrant, that force multiplier would either vanish or be greatly diminished. It would be really easy to write it as just another Chosen One trope, but it works here for me because it's specifically several things coming together in the right time and place.

And since Luffy himself tends to inspire people, especially the longer he fights and never gives up, it turns into a feedback loop

A lot of people online seem to think Kizaru is going to be mad at Lucci for attacking his nephew, Sentomaru. I'm assuming this is because somebody translated aniki directly or something? Doesn't sound like what's gonna happen to me.

It's a recurring problem in translations. The old translations - and therefore the colored scans - translated "oji-san", the typical disrespecful term people use to refer to people older than them - as "Uncle" when Sentomaru interacted with Kizaru on Sabaody, when "Old man" is probably the closest term for Sentomaru's meaning. It was even part of the evidence fans used to speculate that Kizaru was Vegapunk. Therefore a lot of people will probably think they're actually uncle and nephew and mention that a lot on Twitter. Though if they do turn out to be related, I'd find that pretty fun, since it gives both characters more depth and provides Kizaru an angle to know Ryuo.

Anyways, in non-spoiler discussion, what's Sentomaru supposed to be a reference to? A specific kind of sumo wrestler?

Depending on the official translation of Vegapunk's devil fruit theory, it's pretty drat close to what I theorized back when we got Gear 5. Devil Fruits are the manifestations of "concepts". If enough people believe and wish for a Sun God, it will exist as a DF.

also i was thinking Lucci could be awakened but I didnt expect the same weird cloud thing! Whats going on! I thought that was a Sun God thing, not an awakening thing!

I'm mostly leaning on this merely being the stylistic flourish for how the Awakened Tiger Zoan looks, but it's also possible Oda wants to re-establish Lucci as Luffy's antithesis - and make him stronger than Who's Who - by retconning Lucci's fruit. I don't think that's likely, though, since Akainu is still around, undefeated and having a far more personal grudge for Luffy to hold against him.
