And w00t! Ninja Usopp! XD
Maybe Usopp is telling the story, since he's a cool ninja.
Frankly, I don't really care the about reason, it's just a fun idea. What I'm curious about is which Kurosawa movie or Edo TV drama it'll be closest to. 'Cause, you know, it's all been done. An Abarenbo Shogun version would be cool. I used to love that show, even though it's pretty simple.

Maybe now I tell a banality, but in my opinion this special will be a sort of parody of Heiji Zenigata, the detective of Edo Jidai, literary creature of Kodo Nomura.
I know that he's a real famous character in Japan. His speciality was to block the criminals throwing some coins with force to them, just to hurt, not to kill. There are lots of movies or fiction about him in Japan. For example even Lupin III's Zenigata is inspired from this character (in Lupin III he's a descendant).
There are at least two clues about:
1. After the Ending song Luffy usually end the episode with "Kaizoku ou ni ore wa naru!" (I will be Pirate King), this time he said "Okappiki ni ore wa naru?!?" (I will be an okappiki?!?). Heiji Zenigata was an okappiki, a detective.
2. In the fight scene against Zoro Luffy is using a jutte, a weapon used to block or disarm swordsmen/samurais. Zenigata had one.
In my opinion Usopp will feature Luffy's helper.

Wow, 3 new specials in the same time?(almost...) O_o. It's a little strange, isn't it? Well... I'm happy xD
I already know, that this special will be my best xD Can't wait *_*
And of course I must say something:
ZORO LOOKS SO HOOO~~T xDDD
(Usopp too ^_^')

Hmmm, interesting theory. Quite possible. Or it could be a mix of several series. I'm hoping Mugen and Jin show up. Then Kazuya Nakai(Zoro's seiyuu) can play both.
Looks like Nami's working as a waitress....just like Fuu!! Ok, stupid time's over.

hum:-? since it takes a lot of time to catch up with a 252 episode anime i was wondering where can i found summaries for episodes? and are the manga and anime teh same?
Offline
The anime is more or less the same as the manga. There are filler episodes and various scenes are expanded a bit or shrunk for timing and effect, but still more or less the same. I doubt you'd be able to find summaries for each episode from the current K-F one to the newest RAW, I have yet to find it myself (I haven't tried hard mind you).
Offline
a very unrelated question! who is this guy who makes all this "ianimes"?! I have seen a lot of them and they are fantastic!!! iBleach isakura iRukia and etc!
Offline
I have no idea what you're talking about...
Sanji finally gets back into action in 253, wheee. I wonder if they're going to have that little sea train map as Sanji makes his way through the train. It's pretty minor, but would be nice to see.
Offline
I'd love to see that. Like they did with Skypiea with the chibi mugiwaras going up and down the beanstalk diagram. That was hilarious. A little Sanji advancing from car to car at the begining of each episode would be great.
...Too bad they won't do it.![]()

And hey crossbones by soccer special you mean the old one in which luffy kicks ussop in the end right?
Yep. That's the one. Good way to fill up the time though. They also showed a new trailer for Movie 7 with lots of new scenes. I'm putting the video of that up in the M7 thread if anyone's interested.
hey for some reason i can't find the M7 thread, i couldn't get the trailers to play on the offical site so i really wanna see it! for some reason i have yet to watch 249- 253, i think its because of finals week but ill watch em soon!

The movie thread c'est here. It was buried. If you're having trouble with the trailer, try using a different browser. I'm assuming you use Firefox, and Windows Media Player doesn't like Firefox for some reason.

I use Firefox but, I don't know why, I didn't have problem with the trailer with Windows Media Player.

Hey. Sorry for the wait. My computer was screwing up a lot. I guess that'ss what happens when you don't restart it for several days. Anyway, here's the title.
Nenmatsu tokubetsu kikaku! Mugiwara no Luffy oyabun torimonochyou.
More pics in a few minutes.
EDIT: Ok here are some caps. There are many spoilers, so beware.
Can you see all of the cameos? 
Super Size me!

My favorite pic. Zoro was awesome......AS USUAL! Sanji definitely had the funniest moments, imo.
I thought it was great. Very fun story. LOTS of special guests. So what story was it closest to? I think it had a hint of Kakushi toride no san akunin (The Hidden Fortress).
Edit, edit: Don't know when the next ep will be. The Fuji site shows a Friday morning special on Dec 30. So, we could have a long wait. Let's hope for an update soon.

Thank you for the pictures, Crossbones!
It seems a really very funny special!
I have a question: are Nami and Sanji managing that restaurant together??
I mean, in the special are they....married?!? O.o

That's right. And they're not married. Sanji does come close to romancing Nami(maybe the closest ever!) but then two cute girls walk in and he gets distracted. To bad, eh?

Just saw it. Awesome special. ![]()
Though I really want to know what Luffy said in the restaurant(when he was bloated from eating so much) that pissed Sanji and Nami so much earning him a huge hit stretching his neck all the way to the streets.
Also, when Nami was praying. She seemed pissed of at something.
