Episode 279 Translation Notes

Intro: It's opening 7, "We Are!" sung by the cast of One Piece! There are no more ending themes in the series after this. Starting with opening 8, the opening songs are much longer to make up that time. However, this is still the standard length, so they have the Straw Hat Theater segment at the end instead.

06:47 - This is all recap from episode 4, which we'll be re-releasing shortly as well, seeing as how most of the work is done already (retranslation).

20:15 - This is the first of five Straw Hat Theater sketches. There is one for each of the five flashback episodes. They are all silly and hilarious. This first one is about Chopperman.

20:29 - In Japanese it's actually "Usodabadan" with the second "da" being both the end of Usodabada's name an the beginning of the word "dan" for "gang." That overlap gets lost in translation.

21:14 - Usodabada wanted to kidnap Namifia to lure Chopperman to the base, but they came back with Chopperman himself.

21:29 - Another syllable overlap pun here. The cape is called the "Choppermantou." "Mantou" means cape, so the "man" goes both into "Chopperman" and "mantou." A similar word, "mantle," exists in English, but its usage is too obscure to be worth utilizing here.

22:56 - It seems that even as an efficient assistant, Nami can't resist the urge to buy expensive jewelry.

Oh, that explains it. I was going to say the the original "We Are!" was much better - this one sounds like a horrible fan-dub. tongue How delightfully ironic...

Re: Episode 279 Translation Notes

I'm curious to know why they decided to stop doing ending theme songs.  Anyone know?

Re: Episode 279 Translation Notes

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this (it isn't, but I don't feel like making a new thread for this since I'm probably being stupid).

Anyway, I'm watching this episode, right. And I see Franky falling at 05:09-ish, but I can't for the life of me remember when he got kicked off. It's not in the previous episode, near as I can tell, and not in this one.
So I guess I'm asking whether I'm going blind (I have looked, seriously) or whether it's simply not shown that he gets kicked off.

They don't show that until 284 when they show it from Franky's perspective.
