#One Piece 1059

[deadnamedblog]

Respoil at another time (1121)

Rejoice! Ace is back! Ace is alive!

Luffy knows it since Marco announced it in chapter 1059 (episode 1087). Marco is saying : "I know Ace is proud of your progress too, yoi!", but it got lost in translation.

But now he is back in chapter 1121, right as Vegapunk is talking about those persecuted for their ancestry. The pictures give examples we know have been hunted for their bloodline : Kuma, Ace!, Marco, Whitebeard, Pudding and King.

Further evidence is the two millimeters of picture visible on the right of page 7 in the original version, which are absent from the translations, even the official ones. If you look closesly (and zoom in if you have an electronic version), Ace's tattoo is visible in that small section!

2000 vs. 2023

i’ve mentioned a few times before that coby is one of the most politely-spoken male characters in the whole manga and he’s honestly so proper that it’s instantly recognizable. i looked at this page and knew right away it was coby speaking because of the polite verb forms.

i think he’s the only marine we’ve ever seen to address pirates, even pirates he doesn’t know, with polite language- here he’s addressing hancock with the respectful honorific -san, and using the polite anata for her.

Let me tell you about the little AU I've been spinning in my head like a microwave these last couple months! (with alt text commentary)

Luffy finds Law's seraph clone and decides to take the little baby murder bird with him (and names him Hoshio (or Starry if you're on the camp that thinks Traffy>Torao)) because who wouldn't want a mini Torao? Law, it's Law

Law haaates the whole situation and doesn't trust or want the kid anywhere near them or their crews when he finds out, which clashes with Luffy being in complete Cora-san mode since day 1

I call them the Lawlu Sky Family

The cat ears stay ON durning this fight to the death

Oh, yeah, that's not good.

I'm rooting for you, Koby. I'm sure you'll be just fine...probably.

(one piece spoiler: chapter 1059)

It’s about time I acknowledge that Rayleigh is fine asf. Like idk, sumn about the long white hair/facial hair combo that does it for me.

And the fact that Shakky was indeed the queen of the baddest bitches?? I had no choice to but stan her even more. Oda snatched my wig with this one ngl.

THEY’RE TOO POWERFUL OF A COUPLE! If they approached me in the club on some “we saw you from across the bar”… I’m finna act a fool you hear me?!??! I’m talking 🐒 boo-boo the 🤡 fool type of behavior.

Oda + Toei = top tier foreshadowing ?

Wano & Egghead spoilers under the cut (chapters 1053 to 1059)

Okay so these are the eyecatchers from episode 966 (aired on 2021.03.21) :

Back then and until recently I thought "the Roger Pirates are gonna be in Mock Town next so that's why they show us Teach and Luffy's first encounter..."

But more than a year later, chapter 1053 (2022.06.20) reveal the new Yonkou lineup, and here's the cover of chapter 1054 (2022.06.25) :

(Not only the combo is correct it's also displayed in the same order)

Just- How much insight about the next storylines or plot twists does Oda give to the people at Toei ?

I mean I know there's a time gap between the manga and anime and okay, they spoil us things in the openings often but- THIS EPISODE GOT OUT MORE THAN A YEAR BEFORE THINGS ACTUALLY HAPPENED 👀

Mock Town meetings ? Or foreshadowing ? They're going to kill me someday 😭

Or maybe Oda has a thing with patterns ? OF COURSE HE DOES, this is the cover of Volume 25... released in 2002 👀

...Either way One Piece will always blow my mind, I guess 😂

On a related note, I thought back of this panel in chapter 1059 :

I'm going to ignore the grief and the anger that Rayleigh must still feel 2 years after the war

I really think that "I really don't like you" sounds like "I don't acknowledge you (while I personally trained the other three Yonkou so I know what they're worth)" 😂

ONE PIECE 1059 AND 1080 SPOILERS

coby and garp have the same epithet even in japanese. they were both named 英雄 (eiyū) instead of ヒーロー (hīrō) even though i'm pretty sure hīrō is more commonly used than eiyū (although it might just be an oda thing

garp was a friend of the pirate king and coby's a friend of the future pirate king - not to mention, coby 'inherited' garp's skills and luffy inherited roger's hat

honestly, it doesn't seem like there are a lot of parallels right now, but it definitely seems like there are going to be a lot in the future - which makes me a bit worried about what's going to happen to them...

Hi! During Amazon Lily (ch522 and ch523) Gloriosa talks about the two other Empresses. In the translation it says "the previous empress died of this illness, as did the empress before her" and "(they) ruined themselves by suppressing those feelings". Since Shakky is very much alive, are there any nuances in the original Japanese text that didn't come through with the translation that suggests those two empresses didn't die for real? Thank you!

oooh, good question! i'd forgotten about this line!

so, if i'm reading it right, there is a small but important distinction here between the japanese and the english. gloriosa says 先代皇帝もこの病で死んだ/sendai koutei mo kono yamai de shinda, "the previous empress also died of this disease."

however, when talking about the empress two generations in the past (so, shakky) she says 先々代も同じだったそうじゃ/sensendai mo onaji datta sou ja. the important word here is sou, which is a pretty versatile word in japanese that can have several meanings- in contexts like this, it usually means 'seems'/confers a sort of uncertainty on the statement. so her statement about shakky is something like "it the empress before her seems to have been the same" or "it seems the same befell the empress before her." there's a few ways you could translate it.

given she seems (from the one panel we get) unsurprised that shakky is alive when we get the reveal in chapter 1059, my guess is that shakky faked her death or otherwise chose to suddenly disappear when she quit pirating, and that gloriosa was aware and may have helped her cover for it.

Mi varón apareció en un panel después de una eternidad y no lo supero, Oda hacelo volver a la trama que no ves cuánto lo extraño con este edit

I miss the pre-timeskip art style so much! the animation back then was cheaper and the quality wasn't always the best, but just look at how much more personality shines through in just a single still shot. Zoro is making the same face in both but the pre-timeskip feels more expressive!
