those correspond to the months that the special Wanted poster themed stickers are coming out in. Usopp and Brooke can only be found in the SJ mag.
This is something I just found out, and really sad about. now I don't get to collect all the wanted posters since I don't read SJ/get them in the Netherlands...
I don't know where's you're from EXACTLY, but you can get Shonen Jump at some comic shops. There's Yendor in Rotterdam, which has them. Hope that helps.

Utreg. thanks, I know but I'm don't wanna buy an expensive SJ that I never read just for the wanted posters. I just hoped they'd all come out in the Novels.

So does anyone have any idea if Viz is planning on releasing the databooks and more of the artbooks?

I was thinking the same thing. Been looking forward to the databooks for some time.

I have recently baught the newest releases, never seen thriller bark before. so it was epic that its most of the way through it.
Spoiler
Brook is simply amazing, a total winning combination in design: Afro, skeleton, hillarious pervert, gentleman pervert, never serious in bad situations, cool when he gets serious,Top hat!, Cane sword. cant go wrong ever. Brook pwns
Spoiler end

It's indeed a good character added to the team. I've seen up until the Thriller Bark so when I'm done reading it again, I'll continue watching the anime again now that I have collected a lot of episodes again. I'm one of those people that rather watches the anime first, then reads the manga later.

does anyone know why Viz changed the name Oz to Oars? That's just stupid :S
Offline
That's because the name originally was Oars T_T

Really? I've seen the anime (don't remember which fansub group, must've been vegapunk/nakama fansubs or something) where the called him ozu, and on the wikipedia page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_On … _chapters_(389%E2%80%93current)
chapter 470's title is called: (オーズVS麦わらの一味, "Ōzu vs Mugiwara no Ichimi"?)
Offline
Yeah, but later *Spoiler alert*
There's a pirate ship related to him that has the word OARS clearly written on it. I think that's why a lot of groups were romanizing it as Odz and such.

i guess they wanted a catch up just like Naruto. maybe they'll do it again next year or something? Bleach maybe?
Offline
I think I heard it was because a lot of the Viz employees were One Piece fans and were really pushing for a speed-up, and the popularity of the new dub may have been what got them to green-light it.
Also. Read through volume 53 earlier. I'm pretty satisfied with their translation.
Offline
I only picked up one volume of the entire speed up, and it was volume 48. Since I wanted to have a book from the Thriller Bark arc. The bookstore I went to only had that volume.

VIZ did a great job with speed-up release. I think the timing couldn't be better, seeing the populairity growth the last months (outside Japan).

couldn't agree more, on top of that the J volumes are setting records like mad, they simply HAD to do it.

I was just wondering, if the released omnibus volumes of One Piece (from the east blue) are the same as the individual releases from VIZ or did they make changes/cut back on the edits?
Offline
I'm not sure, wouldn't be surprised. Last week in the comic book shop I noticed that they have started putting 'East Blue' on the spine of the early volumes. I guess this is just to be consistent with the rest of the manga, but I'm interested to see if they have changed anything else.
Offline
I was just wondering: Why is it that the other Color Walks never got released in the States? The demand for it is big enough, so why not? :S And is there also any word on releasing volume 0?
Offline
Just because we here on the KF forums want them doesn't mean they have a popular demand. The 1st Color Walk was released and probably didn't sell well so the rest aren't being done, probably.

Offline
Yeah, it sucks but that's how it goes. I was waiting for the databooks too, but if they haven't released em by now they probably won't...
