Chapter 469 "Come On Out, Strawhats!!!" Discussion

[Aldrich]

Seriously I love how it looked maybe a little bit lackluster and predictable with the EL like fights only shorter a couple of weeks ago and now we're basically back to the Bridge of Hesitation scene, wondering how they'll get out of that mess. Oda did it again. Really exciting stuff.

[yangman]

Awesome.

FYI, the title of the chapter actually translates to "Show Yourselves, Strawhats!".

It's phrased as a command, not a description of scenario. (See the last page)

[onemoment]

Thanks as ususal, BF.

It's nice that we have a chapter of Odz justing ruining shit for once. I'm glad to see how the Moria's running thing was handled--it's great to see how he's just messing with Luffy. Best shichibukai yet.

Not a bad finish to Chopper and Robin's conflict, sure they didn't get to KO anyone--but would you complain after the way it was handled? Still, I wonder what Cindry is going to do for the rest of the arc?

[Mr. All Sunday]

Well, it's official, Thriller Bark has surpassed Enies Lobby.

Great, excellent, superb, and whatever else chapter.

[boiga]

- Nami is under influence of sleeping pills (Abs specifically said this, so no nami-got-her-shadow-stolen theory anymore)

Oh well, at least now grotesque depictions of zombie happiness punch will stop tormenting my dreams. I suppose we should have assumed that Absalom would be well versed in date-rape-drugs.

its has to be the greatest chapter ever cant wait for this fight. i predict the next chapter is "strawhats pirates vs demon oz".

Wow, for the first time ever, I absolutely agree with your prediction cdj. We have the two long distance fighters, Usopp and Robin on an upper level while the heavy hitters are able to keep Odz' attention by attacking his feet. If chopper can crunch a rumble ball, get into jumping form and do a salty layup on Odz' mouth, this might a done deal next chapter.

[HikaruYami]

Yay, thanks for the raw BF! (just came over from MH, so I'm kinda late to see it, lol)

[Cap'n Carter]

Odz is on a rampage, and Absalom is back! Pretty action packed chapter.

It looks like Hogback did get his comeuppance... crushed under Odz's foot (unless I misread). I'm just sad that the Robin/Chopper Suplex didn't get to finish, it would've been awesome.

The following chapters are sure to be awesome.

I thought the same thing. "Wow they might be pretty fucked this time!" Oda's pretty damn good at establishing tension.

[Kuso IX Kuso]

Once in awhile, a popular shounen series comes along with protagonists thatare in a group must have at least one moment where they must all team up against one guy!

Much like Zfighter vs Brolly. To me that just awesome!

[game2005]

You're right; Hogback really does like he's stepped on by Oz.

[*Meh*]

Of course, if Hogback has been squished by Odz's foot, who's going to give orders to Jigoroh and Dogpen? I could easily see another squabble between those two...

Ji: Well, now what? Master Hogback's squished, who's gonna give us orders?

Do: Perooona-swama!!

Ji: You shut up! She's not my boss, I answer to Master Absalom.

Do: Who are you telling to shut up?!

Ji: You, you dumb beast!!

Do: BEAST?! How dare you?! Collier..!

Ji: Ju Hachi..!

Do & Ji: Shot!! Pound Ho!!

[Hiso]

Whoa, what a great chapter! o_O Thank you, BF and Student Guy! ... and there is a chapter next week? Because this is a perfect cliffhanger chapter oo"

I really like Cindry's smile, this is going to be my banner in another forum x3 Looks like Hogback's down, but... well, Chopper said he'll kick his ass, didn't he? Brooke entered the "OMGWTFBBQ"-Mode again... I love it XD

[Lolzmaroo]

Thanks Battle Franky etc.

Cindry's scar was not visible in page 10 middle part. Was that Oda's fault or just Hogback's imagination? And she looks like Robin at page 11.

Perona reminds me of Mia Wallace' heroine overdose.

Next Week!...Nami gets f*cked by Absalom while the rest of the Strawhats battles Odz.

[Cap'n Carter]

Also, it's relieving to see that Perona's still down

[onemoment]

Some people have made predictions already, so I'm just going to predict that Nami will wake up before Odz is out. After all, it seems most fitting that the entire SH crew except Luffy defeat Odz, if it ends up as a team attack.

Oh, and I bet that Usopp will wake her up. I think we all know how.

[CraiDt]

I think zoro will see it as an unique chance to take Luffy head on, with his mentality of testing his strength and steal the show here.
Someone who he will never get to fight otherwise.

"Look,thousand dollar bills are falling from the sky!"

Reall nice,hope theres a trans out soon.And one more thing:Why the hell do you keep calling Oz "Odz"?That would "Odzu" wouldnt it not?I mean,ive heard people say it only translates to "Oz" or "Ozu",but the "Odz" spelling is incorect.

[Mr. Evil]

Awesome. Been a while since we've had such a jam-packed chapter. Also, all the crew members fighting Odz at the same time could potentially become my favorite battle sequence yet if Oda pulls it off well.

[game2005]

People call him Odz because that's what Stephen calls him, and most consider Stephen's translations to be the best and closest to official, so you get the point.

But I prefer Oz.

[Senshi Mizaka]

Yup, Oz is going on a rampage. The Strawhats seem utterly screwed this time, but I know they'll get out of this one.

"Oz" has different kana.

Odz is most likely the closest to being correct.
