Guy A. Person posted:Tashigi as a psudo-rival for Zoro was likely never supposed to happen anyway. She lost to him immediately in Loguetown and it flat out wouldn't make sense for her to somehow catch up and then also keep pace with him as he was training like a drat madman and fighting incredibly tough opponents, much less when he studied directly under Mihawk. Tashigi as she was introduced was basically the opposite of Kuina in everything but appearance and her dynamic with Zoro was a role reversal of Zoro’s rivalry with Kuina. Tashigi is as hopelessly outmatched against Zoro as Zoro was against Kuina, but she is still fixated on beating him. Tashigi’s biggest character beats in Alabasta also focused on her frustration with her own weakness. I think the set-up was for her to get stronger over the course of the series and eventually close the gap between her and Zoro. This would give closure to Zoro’s unresolved rivalry by showing that Zoro could’ve one day caught up with Kuina while also showing that Kuina was wrong to doubt herself and a woman could become one of the strongest in the world. That’s probably fallen by the wayside at this point tho

It had good character moments for Nami and Chopper. And it had the gang kidnapping a war criminal i think it's just a bit bloated, like nearly every post-timeskip arc, and it doesn't have any real high points to offset that in people's memories - there's no particularly cool fights or plot reveals. like, it's as long as thriller bark but in plot terms it's pretty much just setup. i don't think it's terrible or anything but i get why it has the reputation it does.

https://www.viz.com/shonenjump/one-piece-chapter-1103/chapter/41297?action=read Official out. Biggest clarification is that Bonney's mother is not Saturn's wife, but was the eighth wife of a "fellow in the holy land" which means either a CD or another Elder

I guess even Kizaru has his limits. Playing it cool and just following orders just isn't going to cut it when an evil spider monster is about to kill your friends.

Waffleman_ posted:https://www.viz.com/shonenjump/one-piece-chapter-1103/chapter/41297?action=read Was talking to a friend about it and he pointed out a glaring translation error.  Like, they were obviously aiming at Bonney, why is it that it's translated at 'shoot HIM through the head'?

Plutonis posted:Like, they were obviously aiming at Bonney, why is it that it's translated at 'shoot HIM through the head'? And on the previous page someone is talking about shooting Kuma with the "give him every shot you have" line. It's definitely an embarrassing mistake, but I see why they hosed up.

Eiba posted:The translators saw a crosshair on Kuma's eye and thought that's what the soldiers were aiming at, not understanding that it was Kuma targeting the soldiers aiming at his daughter. Yeah was about to type basically all of this: the translator misinterpreted the crosshair and also got confused about the admittedly frantic back and forth between the soldiers fighting an approaching Kuma and the ones still targeting Bonney

I thought the explosions were kind of vague, like they aren’t paw-shaped so I didn’t realize they were supposed to be from Kuma at first. I know he has lazers but he’s a paw-paw man, dang it!

Also all of the dialog for the previous pages was ordering the soldiers to shoot at Kuma going from "shoot him if you must" to "give him every shot you have" so I think it' was a reasonable interpretation that Saturn was choosing to squeeze Bonney to death (& shutting her up) while ordering Kuma's head blown off to stop him, even if it was meant to be going back to shooting her head

that set of pages/panels is a lil confusing to be fair. happens from time to time with odaWaffleman_ posted:https://www.viz.com/shonenjump/one-piece-chapter-1103/chapter/41297?action=read sometimes the subject being referred to in japanese isnt very clear. im assuming this (and also the shoot x through the head) are statements without direct nouns so it could be interpreted multiple ways? im not 100% convinced this one is more accurate, but i trust stephen on accuracy more than i trust fan translators anime was right fucked around with this message at 19:03 on Jan 5, 2024 |

could've been solved by saying "shoot them in the head" it's ambiguous, yes, but it also conveys the confusion going on in the scene.

The first panel (on the right) was on a previous page, but these are three consecutive panels.  Still aiming for her head. Also, I know it's been a while since this scenario began, but he's been holding her out the whole time with soldiers pointing guns at her. (I misread your post as actively defending the 'change of target' interpretation, which is why I bothered with the screenshots. On closer reading I do see you're being neutral, but I cropped and uploaded the relevant panels so I might as well post 'em anyway.) Meanwhile, a much better bit to post:

i'd say it's dumb that saturn needs help killing a child but the execution of someone with a gun being a representation of power is an ongoing thing going to wait all month for kuma to punch this guy

There's a lot of serious and heartbreaking stuff(Bonney... ) but that panel of Luffy grabbing all that food while Saturn starts freaking out still makes me laugh.

Who here is good with japan creature mythos? Just trying to figure out why Saturn can paralyze people with a glare, is that a thing that the monster he's based on can do? It is like a lore thing
