Going by Ivankov's speculation and what we know about Vegapunk's ambition, it makes the most sense for the "mother frame/flame" to be a prototype energy source that the government is using to power the ancient weapon, which they were unable to do until Vegapunk developed it. With the einstein/Vegapunk parallels I have to speculate that his energy source is meant to be an allegory for nuclear power, and the ancient weapon is like real life nuclear bombs. VP made it with the intent of being an endless power source, and Imu uses it as a weapon of mass destruction instead. If that's the case, it probably should be called Mother Flame.

at that point it seems safer to assume that the ambiguity is a feature and not a bug than to look for The Answer

It turns out to be Muzza Flame, and one of the ancient weapons is a giant Australian.

Last Celebration posted:Honestly I assumed this was very much not the case, like it’s common practice for game localizations to do this but if it were a thing for One Piece Laugh Tale/raftel wouldn’t be a thing. I'm pretty sure Laugh Tale was a deliberate twist; romanizing it "correctly" from the start would have ruined the impact. Also, don't forget that Oda himself has occasionally changed his mind about romanizations. Shiliew became Shiryu, while Linlin became Rinrin and then went back to Linlin again (and her epithet similarly went back and forth between Big Mam and Big Mom).

I think at the time we learn about Laugh Tale there were translators saying that the kana for "Raftel" didn't actually work out to "Laugh Tale" until that chapter changed it.

But the whole thing is transliterated more like Laugh Tell than Laugh Tale.

Larryb posted:Ah, thought there was still one left. Nevermind then Oda has now gone on two month breaks, plus the animation on a lot of the recent episodes have been incredible, with some episodes being straight out movie quality Cut them some slack, they're doing the best they can given the situation. If they have to do recap episodes to maintain this level of quality and to make sure they don't catch up, so be it.

You can criticize the company’s bad choices without it being a knock on the rank and file who have to live with them.

I got this really weird gacha yesterday. The theme is den den mushi projecting the Strawhats at their lowest. I pulled two Zoro. Really weird idea for a set and I’m not sure if it sucks or owns.

Eiba posted:I don't believe the katakana changed, but it's not the standard way you'd transliterate Laugh Tale. It's ラフテル, ra fu te ru, when you'd usually transliterate tale as テイル, te i ru. Tale kind of has an ae sound, which can be captured in Japanese, and usually is captured, and isn't captured in テル. To my knowledge they're still using テル, though. Based on that, I'd honestly just transliterate it as Laughter. Or was there already one different transliteration for that word?

Fair Bear Maiden posted:Based on that, I'd honestly just transliterate it as Laughter. Or was there already one different transliteration for that word? I think Japanese transliterations take the non-rhotic option more often than the rhotic option so as to distinguish something ending in an L versus something ending in an R. For example, soccer becomes "sakkā" and super becomes "sūpā". I would assume a transliteration of laughter would have a similar ending. Previously in the series, we've had "Misutā Sutoa" for Mr Store and "Gan Fōru" for Gan Fall for treatments of things that end in L and R sounds. Based on that track record and the phonetics in the previous post, it should result in a word ending in an L sound. GruntMountain fucked around with this message at 10:41 on Jun 12, 2023 |

Okay so we know from Film Red that Shanks is of House Figarland and was taken from God Valley as an infant. How did the WG determine (or verify) his ancestry? He doesn't have a strong resemblance to Garling. I suppose he could have an ID chip, though that feels like something they'd be given when they're a bit older. Perhaps he really does have a twin brother, or at least a brother with a much stronger family resemblance... 👀

if nothing else, shanks was probably his original name and once he rose to prominence the wg would obviously investigate his background.

They're probably never going to overtly reference its events (or at least, its place in the overall timeline), but Uta is definitely canon at least.

There's an oblique reference via a panel of her hair loops when Shanks shows up at Wano.

She was shown in one panel a number of chapters ago, someone else can probably track it down.

Everyone assumed Whitebeard was talking about Roger here but he might've been talking about Garling, who probably was at God Valley when the whole shebang went down.
