[Lost in translation] Buggy, Shanks and Kaido/Big Mom declared they will get the One Piece. But they all used different definitions of *get* in the Japanese chapters. Shanks (奪る) sounds much more aggressive than Kaido/Big Mom (獲る). Buggy (取る) sounds peaceful. #ONEPIECE1082 twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

First ONE PIECE editor Takanori Asada talked about Oda and OP in TBS internet radio today. He was responsible for chapter 1-177 (middle of Alabasta arc). Here is my summary of the interview😋

"Hey, Luffy! Why not quitting a pirate?" I'm wondering about her intention..😍

Today Oda sent a message to farewell party of Momoko Sakura, who passed away at the age of 53 on August 15, 2018. She is the author of famous manga/anime "Chibi Maruko-chan". Here is my translation of his message.🇯🇵
81
What does Kaido mean in Japanese? The kanji Kaido (快童/怪童) means "joy boy /strong kid". This is a popular theory spreading in JP fandom. Not that Kaido himself is Joy Boy, but maybe his parents gave him the name Kaido, hoping he'll become someone like Joy Boy.😋
82
Edward Weevil appeared in a newspaper in ONE PIECE chapter 903. Here is a funny talk between Oda and editor Sugita about Weevil which was revealed in "Grand Talk Show" on August 23rd, 2017😂

Oda in Jump Festa today: Surprisingly, *that* character and *that* character will fight in 2023. I hope nobody dies!💪
84
Editor Takano has just confirmed in the live-streaming that One Piece will enter the final saga after Wano.😍
85
Zoro was born in Shimotsuki Village. Shimotsuki Ryuma, Ushimaru and Yasuie lived in Wano. Then, what does Shimotsuki mean? In Japanese, it means "November" in which Zoro was born, but I believe another important meaning is hiding behind it😇
86
In the upcoming Volume 101, Oda mentioned OP Youtubers. Here is my translation.😊 twitter.com/sandman_AP/sta…

Here's my translation for Oda's comment about the news yesterday that ONE PIECE is the best-selling manga in Japan for 10 consecutive years in 2017. This ranking started 10 years ago.😋
88
"Strong World" is known as the film that Oda got involved the most so far. According to today's interview of Mr. Shimizu (Toei), Oda's involvement in the story of "Film Red" is confirmed to be more than Strong World.😍

Today Oda's hometown Kumamoto announced that they will give Prefecture Honor Award to Oda on April 15th. Governor Ikuo Kabashima commented, "ONE PIECE gives us the courage to step forward tomorrow." Oda has been supporting Kumamoto people who suffered a large earthquake in 2016😋
91
New Vivre Card info: Roger's sword is called Ace (Supreme grade). It reminds us that Blackbeard's ship is called Saber of Xebec, as in Rocks D Xebec...🤔
92
I just finished watching Film Red.😍
🔔Spoiler🔔
Shanks' bounty 12 years ago is 1.04 (or 1.004) billion berries.
Shanks is known as "the killer of Color of Observation Haki", which doesn't let his opponent see through the future. Shanks uses his burning sword to villains.
93
According to today's TV show "Mr. Sunday", Luffy having no thought bubbles was one of the reasons why some Shueisha editors rejected OP many times before serialization, like "Kids, Jump main target audience can't understand what this protagonist is thinking."😅
94
Oda revealed his favorite scene in the show.
1 Opening scene of Wano
2 Robin puts Mangrove’s tree sap to Usopp. Oda says it helps audience to feel as if OP world is real.
3 Campfire scene in Skypiea arc. It was the scene where Oda wanted to draw most in that arc (end of summary😊
95
Oda: About spin-off, I came up with a magnificent story about Garp.🔥 I'd like to draw his relationship and talk with Akainu, Aokiji, Smoker, Hina, Coby, Cipher Pol and Roger. Other than that, Revolutionary Army spin-off focusing on Dragon would be interesting and serious. (2018
96
Gosho Aoyama, author of Detective Conan, revealed his desire to have an interview with Oda as comrades for weekly manga and anime. Aoyama mentioned it in “da Vinci” magazine today. He assumes that both ONE PIECE and Detective Conan will reach volume 100 around the same time.😊
97
Oda (2016):When Kaido was introduced, I said Luffy can't beat such a strong guy yet. And I'm yet to know how Luffy will defeat him. My audience won't be satisfied if the reason for defeating Kaido is just because of Luffy's strong punch. Luffy and I must find a solution somehow😋
98
Oda has a 100 inch TV in his living room. A store clerk advised him to buy a 90 inch TV, but Oda insisted 100 inch TV would be better to surprise his friends. It ended up being too large to fit through the entrance, so Oda destroyed the wall of his house to carry it in.🤣
99
ONE PIECE anime "Episode of Skypiea" will be aired on August 25th. According to Toei anime producer Sakurada, there will be a must-see scene about "that popular character" who didn't appear in Skypiea arc in manga. Maybe Urouge..? 😂
