After yesterday'z chapta "the white city" whoeva is in doubt of ODA-Sensei'z prowress/ability as the BEST mangaka of all time, should go, live & die in Abysssssssss.......what a genius & beast of a writa. Culled from Orojackson indirectly from Maganstream Lost in Translation: Amber Lead and Toxic Waste Hello everyone, voxanimus here. This week's One Piece was rather sui generis as far as One Piece chapters go, and I thought I'd write up a little blurb explaining, at least in part, the references and allusions Oda-sensei was making, some of which are not immediately apparent to non-Japanese audiences. (Of course, the real reason I'm writing this is that dino has done more than a few of these sort of things by now and I can't let myself be bested by the likes of him.) First, though, I'd like to discuss the name of the "amber lead" substance introduced in the chapter. I was rather conflicted on how to translate this. The Japanese word used by Oda is 珀鉛, one that, as far as I know, does not exist anywhere else in Japanese literature. It is not a known Japanese word and has only really been used this one time in One Piece. The first kanji in the word means "amber," as in crystalline tree sap. The second kanji is a common one and means "lead," as in the poisonous heavy metal. The problem is that the kanji for "amber" contains the radical 白, which means white, an obvious nod to the actual whiteness of the substance. Translating 珀 into English as amber causes it to lose that nuance. Secondly, the pronunciation of 珀鉛 is hakuen (はくえん), which is actually a real Japanese word when written with different kanji (白煙) one that means "white smoke." Again, this is a reference to the whiteness of the substance and the whitening it causes in those poisoned by it. Ultimately, I was unable to find a word that could capture both the "amber" and the "white" nuances simultaneously and resorted to a literal translation, along with the resolution to explain the subtleties of the name separately. Alright, let's move on to the actual content of the chapter. I—and, looking at the comments, several of our readers—was taken quite aback by the graphic, frankly gory content of this week's chapter. This is not the first time Oda-sensei has given a central character a tragic past but it is perhaps the first time he has done so so gruesomely. His reasoning behind this grisly portrayal is, however, probably more understandable once one realizes the references underlying it. Characters and entities in the world of One Piece are often purposefully juxtaposed against one another by Oda-sensei in an effort to critique or call to attention aspects of the real world. The Tenryuubito are a classic example of the ills of a class system and feudalism; the World Government is the archetypical example of a despotic military tyrant, etc. Despite the seemingly childish superficial appearance of the manga, One Piece is surprisingly mature in the themes and motifs it chooses to tackle. This week's chapter brought to light a similar theme, one I daresay is close to the heart of many Japanese. First, a little historical background. Compared to the rest of the world, Japan's industrial revolution came very late and very rushed. The Tokugawa Shogunate, a feudal government complete with daimyo and shogun and samurai, continued uninterrupted from the early 1600s up until several years after the arrival of Commodore Perry's Black Ships in 1853. Japan only began its Industrial Revolution in 1870; most of the world's nations had finished theirs by 1820. Japanese conquests of Northern Asia including China and Russia in the early 1900s further increased the need for modern technology and the industrial infrastructure required to produce it. Japan was able to meet this demand, but at significant cost. Pollution, particularly from mining operations, went virtually unchecked as the need for metal for the production of weaponry was paramount. Cadmium runoff from the mines contaminated nearby rivers, and water from the rivers was used to irrigate nearby rice fields. The rice absorbed the heavy metal and it began to accumulate in and poison the people that were eating it. Two of the most prominent symptoms of cadmium poisoning are calcium depletion, which causes softening of the bones—so much so that the entire body begins to hurt—and anemia, which causes paleness of the skin because of lack of blood. The pain all over the body was severe enough that cadmium poisoning was named "itai-itai byou" (イタイイタイ病) in Japanese, which literally translates to "ow-ow disease." At this point this should all sound rather familiar. It's no coincidence that the genesis and symptoms of amber lead poisoning in One Piece pretty much exactly mirror those of the real-life cadmium poisoning that occurred in Japan in the early 20th century. I cannot be certain, but I would venture a fair guess that this historical incident was what Oda-sensei was referencing in this week's chapter. In fact, itai-itai disease is just one of the Four Big Pollution Diseases (四大公害病, yondai kougaibyou) that plagued Japan in the first half of the twentieth century as a result of mismanagement of toxic industrial waste. The first, itai-itai disease, predates the other three, which occurred in the late 50s and early 60s, by 40 or so years. Those interested in reading further should check out the Wikipedia article on the topic. Well, that ended up being less of a blurb and more of an essay, so for those of you that have made it this far, I thank you for your patience. Feel free to ask any questions you may have on this issue or other things relating to One Piece and its translation in the comments, I'll be around to answer them. Also, if you liked this, and would be interested in reading more blog posts like it, do let me know. - voxanimus |
Culled from Orojackson.com The man behind the most successful manga series to have been published by Weekly Shonen Jump, One Piece. Casual fans enjoy his work, dedicated fans love and adore him, and die-hard fans call him god. We dedicate this article to the mastermind Eiichiro Oda. How much do you know about him? How much more would you want to know about him? We'll tell you 10 things you should know about Eiichiro Oda! 10. Eiichiro Oda's Birthday And Age Let's begin with the basics, Eiichiro Oda was born on January 1, 1975 in Kumamoto City, Kumamoto Prefecture in Japan. As of May 2014, he is 39 years old. Eiichiro Oda claimed that he resolved to become a manga artist at age of four in order to avoid having to get a "real job". 09. What Inspired Eiichiro Oda To Begin "One Piece" Undeniably, Oda was inspired by Akira Toriyama's work (notably, Dragon Ball) and aspired to become a manga artist. He also mentioned that his interest in pirates was sparked by the popular TV animation series called " Vicky the Viking". Oda began his manga career in 1992 at the age of 17, when his one-shot cowboy manga Wanted! won second place in the coveted Tezuka manga awards. Oda went on to work as an assistant to some of the biggest manga artists in the industry, including Nobuhiro Watsuki, before winning the Hop Step Award for new manga artists. His pirate adventure One Piece, which debuted in Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in 1997 quickly became one of the most popular manga in Japan with sales of over 65 million copies. 08. One Piece! Favorite Villain, Devil Fruit & Who He Would Want To Be? Fans have been very curious to know the authors thoughts on his own creation, who wouldn't want to know who is his favorite character in his own creation? Several fans asked these questions and Eiichiro Oda has answered them: Favorite One Piece Villain: Buggy The Clown What Devil Fruit Would He Eat: Bara Bara No Mi / Chop-Chop Fruit Manga Character He Would Like To Be: Nico Robin (so that he could "sprout hands and draw manga twenty times as fast." ![]() 07. Eiichiro Oda's Family Yes, although he dedicates most of his time to One Piece he does have a family! In 2002, he met Chiaki Inaba, who played Nami during the Shonen Jump Fiesta and the two started dating. In 2004, they got married, and in 2006, he and his wife had a daughter. He went for Nami eh... sorry all you Robin fans! We can only imagine what great talent their daughter will be born with, probably the best mangaka of the next generation? Click to expand Eiichiro Oda's family (left), Eiichiro Oda's Wife Chiaki Inaba (center, right) 06. Eiichiro Oda's Lifestyle What does it take to be the best mangaka? Well, certainly it takes lot of dedication, wish to know more about how Oda lives out his everyday life? Do note, some of the information related to his lifestyle is from 2013, certain aspects of his lifestyle may have changed now! He is a smoker (in-fact, a chain smoker) and fans believe this is due to the "stress" involved in the profession He prefers to work with the least amount of assistants required, he prefers to draw majority of the chapters himself He has made it clear that he doesn't like to copy and paste old art into new chapters, if a event or events have already been illustrated and needs to be re-used, he draws them all over again He wakes up at 5 am, works until 2 am (21 hours!) and sleeps from 2 am until 5 am (3 hours) on an average day He "lives" in his workplace, his family visits him at his workplace, and he spends an average of one day with them without having to work at the same time When asked "how does he blow of stress" Oda stated that he blows of stress by "writing an interesting manga." When asked "when does he feel the happiest" he answered "while writing an interesting manga" He listens to "Soul" music at his workplace When asked what is his schedule for the week, he answered "three days of sketching and three days of working on the final piece" Eiichiro Oda dreams about products that can’t be made with present technology 05. Oda Is A Fan Of... We are huge fans of Oda, right? But who is Oda a fan of? Well, we'll inform you who Oda is a fan of and what Oda loves when it comes to movies, food, etc. He highly respects mangaka Hiroyuki Takei. He is a huge fan of rapper Eminem. He is a fan of singers Avril Lavigne, Bryan Adams, Izumi Katou and Brook Benton. His favorite music is '70s Soul Music He is a fan of the following directors, actors & actress: Quentin Tarantino, Tim Burton, Akira Kurosawa, Hayao Miyazaki and Baz Luhrmann. He likes Hayao Miyazaki's animated works. He is a fan of the Dragon Quest game series. His top three favorite movies are: Seven Samurai, Young Guns and Nightmare Before Christmas. His favorite real pirate is Blackbeard (Edward Teach). He is a fan of Mexican Food. He wishes to visit Mongolia, Maldives and India at least once. His favorite animals are big, gentle dogs. He is not a fan of television programs, but likes comedy shows. He is a fan of Westerns movie genre. 04. Eiichiro Oda's Dedication To One Piece And His Fans With the series now going on for more than 15 years, it's given that Oda is dedicated to the series as well as the fans who support him. But did you know to what extent his dedication goes to? Well, if you though his dedication ended with just working 21 hours a day, 6 days a week, you are wrong! When Eiichiro Oda was hospitalized in 2013, Masashi Kishimoto (Naruto's mangaka) visited him at the hospital and witnessed Oda drawing next chapters of One Piece while being bedridden! That's right, even being bedridden doesn't stop him from working on One Piece, the only way to keep him away is to knock him out with really strong sleeping gas! If that isn't dedication, then I frankly don't know what is. And it isn't because Eiichiro Oda needs to work, he earns approximately 2 Billion Yen (about 25 million U.S Dollars) from the royalties related to One Piece each year! He doesn't need to work, it's just his dedication that keeps driving him forward even at a place he ought to rest! 03. Eiichiro Oda Has Received Death Threats If you thought mangakas were safe from death threats... think again! Yep, in 2007 Eiichiro Oda received not one or two, but roughly one hundred threats (via e-mail) from a woman between September to December. The woman's husband was an assistant at Oda's office who had been dismissed, the woman was arrested in 2009. Well what did we learn from that? Crazed wives of ex-assistants are scary... yep. 02. Eiichiro Oda's Future Plans We all know One Piece is going to come to an end sometime in the future, what does Oda have planned after One Piece ends? Is he going to retire and live the rest of his life comfortably? No! Eiichiro Oda had stated that he would want to create a robot (mecha) manga after One Piece finishes, however he later stated that after One Piece finishes he would like to take the same path Toriyama did and create short-story manga. Once a mangaka, always a mangaka! 01. Eiichiro Oda's Apology For A 2 Week Hiatus Due To Hospitalization [2013] Probably something every One Piece fan needs to absolutely know. Eiichiro Oda was hospitalized and treated for peritonsillar abscess, One Piece was put on hiatus for 2 weeks, in #04 we showed his dedication drawing while bedridden, but his dedication to his fans just doesn't stop there. He issued an apology for making fans wait "2 weeks" to continue reading One Piece and the adventures of Straw Hat Pirates. This is the complete extract of the apology: "I messed up! I put up with my illness for too long, and my condition got worse. I apologize to all the readers who were looking forward to the next chapters, as well as to all the Straw Hats who were really looking forward to wreaking some havoc. But I'm currently going through some painful treatment. The story was just about to take a new turn, so I really really wanted you all to read the next chapter as soon as possible. I know how long two weeks can feel for all the shonen out there, but please wait for just a bit longer. " This coming from possibly the best mangaka of our time, it truly made fans shed a tear for his dedication and hard work, he also received millions of get well soon wishes from fans around the world. And to further show you Oda's simplicity even after gaining such fame and wealth, he almost cried after being "thanked" by fans for his hard work back in 2009.

Lillian looks up to Oprah Winfrey and her mother for their strength. She says her mother inspired her “because she has always believed in me and encouraged me to follow my dreams”.No disrespect BUT she should have removed Oprah'z name & left only only her mom cos if the mom had trained her well, she would have never auditioned for a USELESS show like BBA |

Will not lie that I don't visit LiB but that should be twice in a year or 2 unlike NL where I visit almost uncountable times in a day alone.... When those hackers stroke last 2-3 months, nigerians never has peace or rest cos NL had become a family/bro/sister in their lives but should anything happen to blogs like BN/LiB, nobody will give a f.uck about them.... Besides a forum is different from a blog and another issue to consider is that Linda has bo_o_bie and can tread on dangerous groundz that Seun & angelz will fear to tread upon |
Never knew that a legendary actress/woman is the voice actor for Monkey D. Luffy....& it cost ¥1,000,000 = $110,000 to produce a Onepiece episode i think in Toei philippine...la wa oooo A friend told me he downloadz in almost 50mb free wifi and the anime pic is so perfect but people worldwide still komplain of Toei production---maybe they are trying to save cost by not doing it in Japan. www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=301 www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=836

I hope u guys know the drill from the way the manga fight will pan out......that nonsensical and stupid fillers is just a tip of what to xpect from the battle ahead. For instance when itachi left naruto after he saw that he shared a bond with sas-gay although Itachi won't be shown again in the manga. Their bond will c_um back about the time Naruto will want to give the finishing blow... |

An asian brotha shared this as @ 20th/8/2008 Culled from: forums.animesuki.com/showthread.php?t=69858&page=3 Hmmm I don't come over to this subforum much but I'm an up to date follower of One Piece manga. I do have something to say about Haki. To the western world Haki is something that's not properly understood, even in this thread. Simply because there's no single word that describes Haki well enough. But to us East Asians, Japanese and Chinese, the words Haki is an instantly understood term. It is a term that is Asian in origin and loosely phrased and understood in the Western world. What Haki really is and means: The words Ha and Ki, meaning 'dominate' and 'air'. Together you can make out something like 'air of dominance/atmosphere of fear' or better phrased, 'Aura of dominance/supremacy' or 'Aura of fear/ terror'. You can't really train yourself to just have Haki, it does not happen by itself or just suddenly. When you train yourself to become stronger or over time have attained some form of aggression, Haki will come along. It is something that builds up over experience and time and can be activated at will. But it can also be something that happens involutarily, examples of Haki in various forms: A large wrestler say, 'The Rock'. If you, as a normal person stands in the ring and he is about to charge towards you, or just staring hard at you, you will be pretty much in fear. But once he puts on some clothes and goes off stage and becomes friendly, even the kids can approach him easily for an autograph. Your pet dog is a cute and lovable family member, but if anyone trys to snatch its food bowl it will bark ferociously baring its teeth. Even you yourself would be quite fearful. Those are examples of actively expressing Haki physically through appearance and facial expression. Examples of involutary Haki: An infamous gangster that has been jailed for years but still remembered by people for his doings. He was known to have beaten several people to a bloody pulp before getting into jail, but since then he has already turned over a new leaf. He walks on the street trying to be friendly but people just turns silent wherever he goes, simply because they know he was a violent criminal. No matter how tame a lion or a bear is, it is a wild animal and for that we are wary even if they are circus animals dressed in frilly costumes. You would have fear to approach them to take pictures even if they are chained and in cages. -------------- In One Piece Haki is basically much the same, the amplification of fear. Though we've seen its effects with much more extreme results. Like Shanks making people fear him so much that they foam from their own fear. And Rayleigh demonstrating how you can spread fear to others but at the same time not to people who you are not hostile towards. So Haki cutting the sky into two? No, its not their Haki, its just the pure power, the power of them clashing.....Whitebeard vs Shankz clash Haki flinching Logias? Plausible, if someone could perform an action or expression that can instill enough fear, Logias could literally solidfy in their tracks. --------------- About Zoro: I agree on parts where it is a manifestation of his Haki or rather Sakki(killing intent). Sakki is another form of Haki that is also very common in Eastern manga, Akuma and Evil Ryu is famous for their Sakki. Shun Goku Satsu is an attack that uses their Sakki to strike terror into the opponent, render them helpless and allows Akuma to unleash a killing combo. Sakki is a much darker form of Haki, it does not spread just fear of the individual, but fear that they may be killed. Zoro's Asura strikes fear into the opponent messing up their minds and together with his incredibly fast movements, creates an illusion where he suddenly gains extra heads and limbs like the demon Asura himself. forums.animesuki.com/showthread.php?t=69858&page=3 |
nani667: Oh and based on the battle to come...., While Sasuke has excellent Ocular powers..... His Chakra is very limited, compared to Naruto Kun, who has all the tailed beasts plus sage mode plus Rikkudo powers..... So Ultimately while Sasuke may boast of some excellent Jutsus thanks to his Sharin-rinnegan..., Ultimately he'll eventually run out of Chakra in a short while... That's why he won't last long against Uzumaki Naruto 3.0... It'll probably be a boring battle, I'm expecting Naruto to launch the first attack ➡ A powerful dose of talk no Jutsu....*coughz*coughz*coughz*coughz* In etisalat'z voice: now u are talking.....looool @HxH fanz Our bro Togashi is down in his health 4 the umpteenth time....almost the 4th/5th time he will have 2 cancel the manga until he recovers maybe next year, probably he will be given @least 2-3years break again...I feel 4 sorry him & Odachi-Sensei unlyk Kubo, Toriyama, Arikawa or Kishi & the others without health issuez.

Once upon a time, infact that was 3 months ago, women especially in America wanted the release of this convicted felony gang member by name Jeremy Meeks whose pic is below (while in prison, he even got jobs for modelling-advert in Hollywood for that matter o).....but these same women have turned around to hate the American NFL player by name Ray Rice who must have mistakenbly because of anger hit on his then fiancee who is now his wife in an elevator room....so i'm asking this question: What do women really want in life as in what can one do to please women that believe that what is good for the goose is not good for the gander? N.b. I think it's good to be handsome for a man cos it may go a long way in.......
