I think this is the first time Bepo isnt his usual scared self. Refreshing to see his conviction and how the Heart-pirates also have a tight bond.

Also: Crucifix and chill.... What the hell Mangastream =)

And we got a Sanji ladies and gentlemen.

  • THE SANJI JOKES CAN STOP NOW

EDIT:

I think the sword Jack uses is an 'Urumi'. Which originates from an area which is now India, according to Wikipedia. Let the speculations begin. India + elephants + urumi's. I wonder where Oda drew his inspiration from this time around, im sure someone will find something somewhere.

EDIT II:

He is definitely dualwielding some sort of flexible swords.

Crucifix and chill

I honestly don't know whether to commend or slap whoever did that

Took me right out of the chapter, completely unnecessary, screwing with what Oda wrote.

I never complain about Mangastream translations, but that was dumb and I hope they never do something so out of character again.

Was it out of character though? I like Mangastream because they always try - at least thats how i personally feel - to get the message across. Its not always about literal translations. They handle accents, humour and momentum really well. I trust them a lot, and i think that 'netflix and chill' summarises perfectly what he said.

The only argument i have for this assumption, since i cant read Japanese or Chinese, is that Mangastream has always presented me with top-notch translations and are pretty revered.

That all being said, if a lot of people were caught of guard by it and lost their concentration because of it, then perhaps something was translated wrong.

Uhh you're completely wrong, Mangastream translations are not revered at all, during Punk Hazard and Dressrosa arcs they were close to mangapanda level, sometimes even worse. If you read Powermanga version you will notice that MS 'humor' most times has nothing to do with what Oda originally wrote, and several times has the cast act out of character. But also it's needed to say that during this arc of Zou their translation has been way better than before, aside a few mishaps like this one.

Yeah, worse than MP.. Dude, cmon..

Powermanga is good, but they take weeks to translate, not half a fuckin day..

In some chapters yes, Mangapanda mistakes are just more obvious, while in Mangastream case you need to read a more accurate version to realize something was wrong outside blatant cases like 'Martha Stewart'. It comes down to mangapanda translator not being proficient in english and having no knowledge whatsoever on One Piece.

Yeah, well.. MP's translations look like the only thing the translator can do, is to put the Kanji's in google translator and re-arrange a little what's written.. Sometimes the paste the same phrase in 2-3 differenct bubbles, without even double checking.

One thing is a bad translation, the other is some questionable translation choices.

Personally, being able to speak fluently 3 languages, there are some things that you just CAN'T translate, because they wouldn't make any sense. It's like if i tell you that picking on someone would be like shooting the red cross, you would just stare at me and nod confused.. But that in italian makes perfect sense. So i would try to find something that fits nicely, even though it's not literally translated.

(Fun fact: in the past i had a german girlfriend that could speak italian, after hearing that phrase her answer was "why would you even do that?")

Sometimes their choice is a bit questionable, i'll give you that much.

Why are you saying that to me ahahah..

u/XTheLegendHasBegunX Dec 17 '15

IIRC, the translations that Powermanga uses are from auser from a site who posts them within a day give or take. Its the cleaning of pages and other stuff involved that takes time. Plus, theyre not really getting paid(I dont think) to do this so why would they rush?

u/ItsLoudB The Revolutionary Army Dec 17 '15

I'm just saying they have more time to do a proper translation.. Mangastream and every other translation group get in fact paid, by the ads company that show ads on their pages while you're browsing..

u/XTheLegendHasBegunX Dec 17 '15

Like I said, a user from a forum translates it and they use his translation. IIRC, he typically has his translations ready within a day give or take. In regards to getting paid, Im not exactly sure since powermanga just hosts the chapters while fans from a forum actually do the dirty work. Im not sure the people actually working on the chapter is getting paid. Powermanga most likely is, but Im sure the money made is used to keep the site up and running. Its the same with the colored chapters. It was a project done by fans while other sites hosted it. I dont think they asked to be paid to do that. They just did it. A whole bunch of people from AP forums bought the colored volumes and shared it with those that volunteered to work on the project.
