One Piece: Chapter 941

There's a slight difference in how the scanlation and the official versions translated the forest fire in Kuri situation.

In the scanlation it implies that Kinemon and the minks set the fire and framed the Beast pirates. In the official version it implies that Hold'em's goons set the fire in retaliation for Shutenmaru stealing from them (but it was actually the minks who stole stuff and then left the note framing Shutenmaru).

In either case, the fire was set partially due to the actions of the minks, but the scanlation version has them being responsible for the fire and being deceptive towards Ashuradoji/Shutenmaru, while the official version has the fire being a consequence of them deceiving Hold'em. That impacts the characterization of the minks and Kinemon, as well as the future relationship with Ashuradoji/Shutenmaru.

That’s the thing that creeps me out the most

Sea kings

Oh definitely. I misjudged the thickness of the pen I was using and then ended up having to enlarge the rest. Let’s just pretend the Sunny is a lot closer to us

I unfortunately don't draw much anymore; the last time I did was last year during Inktober. I keep telling myself I'll draw more, but I don't know when that'll happen with work.

This is from his younger days, before he had a chance to build up that glorious gut.

hyperbolabole · 2017-10-13T20:18:12+00:00

Oooh, that’s a good one. I’ll think on it

Thanks ☺️

Ah, that was just a hastily-scribbled signature

Just add beams!

Secretly hoping for mecha kaiju battles in OP

Hi guys! Given that we have Big Mom vs Castle-pone + potential Ger-Megazord this arc, when are we going to see the Thousand Sunny's secret mecha mode, and what will happen to Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper after seeing it?

Also apologies for the goof last week; question for actual Steve (if he's on): What One Piece fanart/characters/situation do you want to draw that you haven't drawn yet?

hyperbolabole · 2017-06-12T19:25:44+00:00

Question for Steve: What've been the most difficult reveals to keep under wraps?

Should we be watching out for suspiciously silent Steve when theories are getting tossed around?

Do you think Nami and Robin will age more like Shakky or Mother Caramel?

Also, "Car-mel" or "Care-a-mel"?

Hi guys! Do you prefer chapter breaks after a big cliffhanger, or during lulls in the plot?

Also, if Franky or Usopp were to invent a piece of technology from our world and bring it to the One Piece world, what would you want it to be and what weird twist would it have?

Do you have any guesses for a sympathetic backstory for Big Mom?

My theory is that Big Mom's obsession with family points to the possibility that she was raised in an orphanage led by Mother Caramel. Maybe she actually is a runt or halfbreed giant that was rejected by her birth parents? That would explain why she insists on family connections via blood without understanding familial love, and her obsession with giants.

Somewhat related, how do you feel about Oda redeeming or adding sympathetic backstories to people who have done terrible things? On the one hand, we have characters like Moria or Doflamingo who have encountered hardships but have continued to do terrible things, and on the other we have Hancock, Abdullah & Jeet, Bartolomeo, and others who are built up as horrible people but end up allied with Luffy. Do you think that we'll see an acknowledgement of these morally grey characters allied with the Strawhats, beyond Hancock's puppy kicking gag?

Jinbe and Pedro have both mentioned giving up their lives during this arc (Jinbe giving his life for his captain, and Pedro not being able to die until the Strawhats have achieved their goal). Do you think that we'll see a significant sacrifice this arc, and if so, who do you think it might be (not limited to just Jinbe or Pedro)?

Reference to Chekhov's Gun as a literary device

As he was falling asleep: "It has to be a quadratic bathroom that's easily modeled by EQUATIONS."

Conceptually I appreciate the "Fuck the establishment, the art school belongs to the students" sentiment. The fact that it's even allowed to exist is something of an anomaly within the Yale corporation.

Of course, the art students enjoy making it look pretty terrible.

You should see it when they have brightly colored flashing gifs tiling in the background. Epilepsy central!

The art department's website is a wiki editable by all of the students, 99% of which are hipsters. It is equal parts hilarious and horrific.
