Hee, Sanji course-corrects Zoro as he instinctively goes the wrong way.
To Nami, who's riding on the camel: このラクダ女。ナミラクダ。"You camel-woman." "Nami-camel." "SHUT UP!!"
It will not surprise you that I prefer your translation to Viz's, which is "camel hog" and "Namihog." I guess they don't get the joke in the meaningless insult, so they had to make it mean.
It's interesting that only Nami rides the camel, while Vivi walks. Vivi is a princess of the people.
Aw, Zoro encourages Chopper. You go, little man-reindeer.
Karoo freaking out and refusing to let Chaka touch the "bandage" on his left arm wing, because he's remembering the oath of the nakama.
It's very sweet, but I feel kinda bad for Chaka, who just wants to help. It would be nice if Karoo could communicate the concept. Or if Chaka sees the armbands in action, later.
I don't know why, but I love Oda's maps of everyone's mobilization plans. At this point, I feel every middleschooler in Japan could take a test on Alabasta's geography.
That is total fangirl bait.
Aw, it's less baity in English, 'cause Zoro says "Move it, Prince." (Does he really just echo "Prince" in the Japanese?)
(the repetitive speech pattern, the counter-banging, the shortened phrases). WHY.
To convey their thirst? I mean, Ms Merry Xmas is doing it for no reason. These guys have trudged a day in the desert.
Zoro is harassing the camel.
I missed that! Thanks for pointing it out.
Viz has Smokeroo, at least in this volume -- that's a little TOO cutesy, Viz.
You are confused. All nicknames ending in -roo are golden. Yay, Viz!
Aw…maybe I would fins Zoro's weakness to Tashigi's appearance more touching if the death of his childhood girlfriend weren't the only flashback in the history of One Piece that didn't make me cry? Stupidest. Death. EVER.
Aww, Fullbody looks cuter in that uniform. Here's what fascinates me: in this (169) cover, it looks like he is the one rejecting Django's friendship, but in the cover for 170, Django is hypnotizing him into forgetting their forbidden love friendship. Oda puts a lot of faith in the reader to fill in what's really going on in Fullbody's heart. And to remember one cover to the next.
*sigh* I miss slots where coins would actually come out. Technology did not improve gambling. Which is probably good for me, but…whine.
The <- V.I.P | Pirates -> sign? Slays me.
OMG. I just noticed Smoker's jacket is covered in cigars where soldiers would normally carry rounds of ammo.
He'll report to the government that Smoker died fighting the Strawhats, and he doubts that anyone will ask questions.
Even though the implication (at least in English, where Croc calls them "puny Strawhats") is that it would be an ignoble defeat for Smoker.
It (the fruit) is one of only five types (種) in the world confirmed to grant users the power of flight.
It's so important to deliver random factoids in the middle of a battle.
Miss A-S's power is creepy.
Luffy has a talent for impersonation (or, at least, he likes to do it a lot).
Since the word "crap" is not in his dialogue here, I have to go with the latter.
LOL at "The long day has begun." Hope you don't have anywhere to be for the next four volumes, gentle reader.
Noooooo. Four volumes of fighting? I just want Vivi and Kohza to hug and make up.
Kohza is a hothead -- his plan of attacking the king and taking the Dance Powder from him by force is not exactly his finest moment
It sounds really romantic in English, when Kohza declares, "I'll be back for the rain!!!"
OMG, Kohza wanting to be reassured of the king's innocence. His rebellion is somehow like a child's tantrum: tell me everything is going to be okay. My heart is breaking. I cannot wait three volumes for him to learn the truth.
