Heya! I have a question regarding a very interesting panel to me in Thriller Bark!

Do you happen to have Brook’s joining of the crew? Does he word it the same as ‘certain’ kingdom?

I’m trying to do some digging and it’s difficult to find any information!

yeah, he says ある王国/aru oukoku, which would indeed be best translated to 'a certain kingdom' or 'a particular kingdom.' aru [noun] is a fairly common construction in japanese used to refer to 'a specific but unnamed [noun].' for example, when hawkins tells drake in wano arc that "a certain man" has very low chances of living out the night, he words it the same way: aru otoko.

oh gilyoung :(

edit:

IT WASNT HIS MOM?

oh my god so essentially every single adult in gilyoung’s life failed him. no wonder he was so attached to dokja, that man was the only person to ever give him a semblance of parental comfort.

/ Orv novel ch 489 spoilers

[ Story, 'Saviour of the Star', is having a chat with the Story, 'Insect King' ]

Girl i will never recover from this chapter. the whole "gilyoung is jealous of yoosung" and "gilyoung would also put his life on the line and sign a contract with his sponsor to protect yoosung" breaks my heart and im just AUGHHHH SCREAMS

and now I will ramble about sys and lgy under the cut.

THEY MEAN EVERYTHING TO ME. have you guys ever realised how gilyoung was growing to become so fucked up in the beginning of the story? killing monsters and even people without batting an eye, offering to dokja to leave him behind, and even sangah and dokja were genuinely worried about his development. (sangah telling him she'll kill and he doesn't need to kill anything) and the one thing that sort of grounds gilyoung from this taking over his growth is when shin yoosung joins the party

its only after she joins that he's able to act his age like a lil kid, bickering and fighting and just... aughhh,, THEY ONLY HAVE EACH OTHER AS FRIENDS FROM THE SAME AGE OKAY... like having friends your age is so important when you're a kid, they literally stay together all the time. and they argue a lot but they defend each other and hold each others hands whenever the other needs help.

its SO fucking wholesome. NOT TO MENTION, yoosung was the reason gilyoung signed a contract with his sponsor in the jttw arc, (it was never specified why but i think he did it so she would survive and save dokja? Or like so he could have the power to fend off the enemies on his own and keep them occupied away from sys. Maybe I'll go reread that part again) the whole yellow aura thing yknow. and im like half certain they picked up the idiot-calling from like yjh kdj and hsy calling each other bastard stupid and idiot all the time...its kinda funny..

anyway. they make me so ill. SO ILL.

Hi!! I've a question I've been wondering about and I thought I'd ask you because I think you're very smart...

It's a moment towards the end of Thriller Bark — Brook witnessed the entirety of "nothing happened" incident. Later, when he was playing the piano, he talked to Sanji about it for a little bit (ch 486). But then when he and Zoro sat together in the graveyard (ch 489), Brook thought about bringing that up, but ultimately decided against it... why do you think he kept quiet?

I thought he might have been eavesdropping on Sanji's convo with the 2 zombie dudes, but all I got is this small silhouette at the right edge of a panel (ch 486) that I can't even identify. The anime does not show it at all...!

Hello!

That's because Brook saw everything himself! He even says to Sanji that he saw it, and he was very moved by it! He tells Sanji because he wants to let Sanji know he thought what Sanji did was just as moving as what Zoro did, but Zoro HIMSELF hasn't told anyone what's actually happened. Brook probably picked up that, while he can talk to Sanji about it, Zoro would probably speak to Brook like 'nothing happened'. Because both Zoro and Sanji don't want the crew - specifically Luffy - to know what really happened.

In that moment Brook simply understood Zoro's feelings, and allowed Zoro to not have to worry about Brook maybe blabbing to everyone because he knows what really happened lmao. Brook is a very good friend!

Core Writing, Wed. 2.7

Notes on Draft #1 & Paper #1 Grading Rubric (screenshot at top) - Organization and evidence. = as important as the writing itself. Shoot for ⅓ author, ⅔ your idea for Paper #1. You are in charge of the discussion. - Thesis and Body Paragraphs. The last sentence of the intro announces your thesis. Each BP centers on a discussion of TS-E and IS-E supporting that thesis. Each BP revolves around a slightly different idea. - Topic Sentences. The first sentence of each BP announces the idea of that BP, not an author's name or what they say (unless it is leading to what you say). "Murray says..." = No! - Spelling/Grammar. Use a good checker of some kind. - Chat GPT and AI. Acknowledge use, but try to stay away from them, regardless: AI Tools Presentation. - Revision Memo & Final Draft Resources: "A few sentences are fine. Reflect on your writing process by mentioning specific examples, or you will not receive credit for the assignment. 1 What idea did you start this paper with? 2 How did the idea change along the way? 3 How about the writing itself?" Ch. Ch. 5 (“Distinguishing What You Say from What They Say”): - "Voice markers" show who is saying what by emphasizing your contribution vs. the other side. Examples: --“According to administrators, educators, and the press, the pandemic showed us that online education didn’t work. Yet, experts in online education never recommended the kind of thing that happened during the pandemic, and neither would I.” -- “Murray argues that students should already have learned a lot of these topics before college. However, Murray is out of touch with what students actually learn before college.” -- “We all know that, on average, college graduates make significantly more money over their lifetimes than those with only a high school education. What gets less attention is the fact that not all college degrees or college graduates are equal” (Sawhill and Owen 488-489). --“Murray argues for core learning; Graff argues for student interests, but I think that they are both way too idealistic.” Activity Polish your paper by adding voice markers to highlight who is saying what. Homework: Paper #1, FD + Revision Memo by end of class Fri.!

Mobile Spoiler Guide

Most of the posts on this blog are gonna be spoiler-free, but if I'm ever discussing a topic relevant to a specific arc or in a level of detail that would spoil earlier storylines, I will place a spoiler tag. I've decided to have one major spoiler tag for everything after the live action and specific tags for every arc afterwards so that anime/manga fans can block spoilers for every arc they haven't reached yet individually instead of having to block anime/manga spoilers as a whole. Arc-related spoiler tags will be listed here with their chapter and episode numbers for a better overview. There are spoiler tags for the (major) movies, too!

Please let me know if this works for you guys as a spoiler system! It's the safest and most inclusive I could think of, but maybe you have a better idea for me.

[pdj-france]

La nouvelle Maserati Grancabrio a été repérée sans aucun camouflage alors qu'elle se prépare pour une révélation dans quelques mois. La GT de luxe à toit ouvrant semble être quasiment prête pour la salle d'exposition, apparaissant complètement non déguisée sur ce qui semble être une séance photo publicitaire pré-révélation. Les tuyaux d'échappement et le style de carrosserie agressif font de ce prototype la voiture Trofeo V6 de premier plan, mais il y aura aussi une version purement électrique quasiment identique. La version cabriolet de la Maserati Granturismo renaissante sera identique en spécifications au coupé d'après la firme italienne. Cela signifie que la Maserati Grancabrio proposera un choix de deux options V6 (avec 489 ch et 550 ch) et un EV portant le badge Folgore avec 745 ch. L'autonomie est censée se situer à environ 280 miles à partir d'une batterie de 83 kWh. La Folgore bénéficie d'un total de trois moteurs électriques - un à l'avant, et deux montés à l'arrière - à traction intégrale, qui seront sans doute mis à rude épreuve sur ces routes verglacées. Nommé d'après le mot italien pour «coup de foudre», il sera capable d'atteindre 0-62 mph en seulement 2,7 secondes avec plus de 997 lb-pi de couple. La vitesse de pointe est de 199 mph, tandis que son taux de charge est tout aussi impressionnant, mesurant un maximum de 270 kW. Le Folgore électrique sera le premier cabriolet de grand tourisme électrique sur le marché. Sous forme de coupé, il coûte environ 190 000 £ et devrait être mis en vente en qualité de décapotable de 750 ch avec un prix dépassant 200 000 £. Nommé d'après le mot italien pour «coup de foudre», le Folgore électrique sera capable d'atteindre 0-62 mph en seulement 2,7 secondes avec plus de 997 lb-pi de couple.
