One Piece 58
Under the wire - One Piece volume 58!
Despite one quick proofreading, this is probably full of typos and god-only-knows-what, but I wanted to get it up before mangaroo had to return her copy to the library. mangaroo, I hope you can at least scribble down some notes in the way of a response before you have to take it back ( Read more... )

Aw. What a giant heart.
I just realized I cannot follow the action that splits across two pages. (I mean, I can't follow 90% of the action anyway, but the binding is too great an obstacle for me to overcome.)
I am not sure the Viz translation gets this? They seem to think that the "pain" was Whitebeard's, but I'm pretty sure they're thinking about how much it must have hurt Squardo to doubt his father.
Oh, I hope you're right. Though I do wish the translations would stop being wrong.
If only I could remember any of the Supernovas other than Bonney and Law.
Seriously? Like Oars wasn't enough of a sacrifice the FIRST time?
If Luffy didn't already have a surfeit of fathers, Whitebeard would totally adopt him. (Except Luffy wouldn't allow it because he's going to be King of the Pirates, not Whitebeard or Ace. *sniffle* x 2)
Because height MATTERS, yo.
Look, this could break out into sportsball at any minute, and then we would need to know.
...I do not understand Japanese bra sizes.

This is the biggest reason I want to hold onto my bigger iPad, even if I end up getting a mini eventually. One Piece does the most amazing double spreads, and the mini just isn't big enough for that. (I bet they would look really good on an iPad Pro... SHUT UP, SELF)
Though I do wish the translations would stop being wrong.
To be fair to them, a lot lies in the grey area of interpretation.
Ugh, why does Viz ruin everything? "time" ≠ "living," especially in these circumstances.
But yeah, I have to agree they dropped the ball on that one.
...do we like any admirals other than Aokiji?
Ugh, no. Although I admit to finding Kizaru's sheer laziness mildly amusing. He is too amoral to "like," though.
*sniffle* Mr3 honoring Bon Kurei.
YES. That was such a nice touch. *sniffles with you*
Oh, the picture of the brothers fighting back-to-back.If I ever ( ... )

Everything about this arc seems like it's leading up to Luffy rescuing Ace. Even the moment Ace gets hit (given the rest of the series), it seems like it can't really be happening, which, I think, is why we get the title of the next chapter telling us, yes, it really is happening.
I have more to say about this cruel switcheroo, but not until much, much later.
No, I take it back, the cruellest blow is *spoiler*. Which is cry-inducing in exact proportion to its awesomeness, and we're getting there.
If you're thinking of the moment I think you are, that certainly made me cry harder, but I wouldn't call it a "cruel blow."

I had the same reaction. (Though I'm pretty sure Luffy was already calling him this and we just forgot.) Sportsball has changed us.

I don't know how much control Oda has over where books end and begin
I think he definitely plans/decides where each volume starts and ends--mangaka have a good idea how many pages/chapters in a volume and plan story arcs around that. In any case, I remember an SBS(?) where Oda talked about wanting a volume to have an extra chapter or two in it and he managed to convince Shuueisha to not raise the price on the volume even though it had extra pages.

This made me laugh really hard. XD It's basically how I think of this whole battle.
