05:42 - Chopper has used Kokutei Cross before (namely, against the Skypeia priest Gedatsu in episode 172). However, it was given a translation of "Split-Hoof Cross," and I strongly feel that it would be more appropriate (and clear) to write "Cutting Hoof-Cross," as he is forming his hooves into a cross and cutting into the opponent.

09:11 - This is Luffy's first Gear Third! I hope you guys like our start-up effect for it.

10:05 - Yep, Chimney called him chibi. Chibi Luffy! I felt better translating it as "tiny," even if "chibi" is widely understood.

14:22 - This attack is Franky Triagle Jacker. Don't ask me what "jacker" means -- in this context it seems like Engrish, unless I'm missing something. The only sensible definition, from Wiktionary, says it refers to someone "who hunts at night using a jacklight," but it's archaic.

15:17 - Jugon, 獣厳, has a meaning of approximately "unforgiving beast." The "unforgiving" part could be substituted with any number of similar words and still be acceptable, such as "harsh," but "Unforgiving Beast" has a nice ring.

16:17 - Franky and Fukurou are having a nice name-calling contest here, insulting each other's punches. I would like to point out that my translation of their insults is far from literal. I tried to make the name-calling feel natural instead of random silly insults that I'd get from a direct translation of their slang. At any rate, Fukurou slips up and says "pantsu" (panties) instead of "panchi" (punches). At this point it turns into a clothes name-calling bout. Silly, yes.

16:36 - This last word Franky uses, "fundoshi," can be translated as "loincloth," but it can also refer to a sort of thong worn by men.

17:24 - The "three realms of existence" thing is a Buddhist concept. It is NOT the same as the three worlds Zoro refers to in his attacks, "sanze" (三世), which makes most of his numbers multiples of 3 and 36. Those are the three temporal worlds (past, present, and future). This is "sangai" (三界), which refers to the realm of desire-driven beings, the realm of beings with form, and the realm of beings without form.

17:53 - This is referring to the amount of time it took Chopper to complain that he had been called a gorilla.

18:51 - As I mentioned when the character was introduced, "fukurou" is the word for "owl" in addition to being used as a name. Here Fukurou uses Fukuro-dataki (yes without the "u"), 梟叩き, meaning "Owl Strike."
