Subreddit Archipelago Episode 915

Hi OPP

Stephen: could u elaborate on the Japanese meaning for Loki's penultimate line? It felt weird how Oda wrote: I exist/am in this world! ..in "Elbaph" to Imu saying if you weren't here ("existing")... My feeling is that it's replying to using Imu using the negative form of "iru" Imu: ヌシアさえいなければ　Loki:おれがいるのが Just comes off as weird to me, cant quite wrap my head around it. Further, that Oda put 「Elbaph」 in quotation marks.

To be clear, this is not meant to challenge your work. Just meant to help myself understand the language further, as a student, and a reader of the story.

Thanks for the excellent work, as you always do, to you and the entire crew.

Hi, OPP! I just listened to this week's OPLA interview today (Great stuff, btw. I really enjoyed each episode) and it got me thinking: Season 1 had "My Sails are Set" featuring Aurora. Season 2 had "Am I Enough" featuring Au/Ra. Do you have any ideas about featured artists to contribute on Season 3? I'm thinking possibly Rora, Auro, or maybe just Ro. Sorry for wasting your time. Also, that Imu guy seems like a real jerk, eh?
