2024-02-10 16:31:50 +0000 UTCJust some extra info about Zoro's attacks, as I find it interesting and I didn't know about it for a long time because I don't speak Japanese. A lot of Zoro's attacks are puns. Zoro's move: 108 Pound Phoenix (36 Pound Phoenix when used with one sword) is actually a pun. It's a tough one to explain, but basically the crux of the joke is that 'phoenix' and 'cannon' sound similar in Japanese ('Hou'). In Skypiea, when he first uses the technique, he says "I am now aiming the muzzle of a cannon at you" to the pistol guy before firing off his attack. That's why Luffy was trying to come up with a number for their attack, because he esentially sees it as combining two cannons together. Zoro actually changes the name of his attack to match Luffy - he says "cannon" in English, instead of "Pondo-Hou"

2024-01-31 03:44:52 +0000 UTCYour reaction to Wanze (the weird ramen guy) at the end there was very very appropriate lmao. Also yes, Franky uses cola as his fuel source. Lots of wacky personality for a guy who's half machine lol. About Luffy and the numbers thing; Zoro has this strong technique where he sends out a devastating flying slash with his blades. He calls it different names depending on if he uses 1, 2, or all 3 of his swords. The strongest version of this attack is called "108 Pound Cannon". All that being said, these two are often presented as being near equals in strength. So Luffy turns to Zoro and asks "hey, what's 108 times 2?" basically suggesting that he can match the power of one of Zoro's strongest moves. In the end, it's all just a bunch of power-scaling wank for the particular fans who love that kinda stuff. The real important part is that Luffy and Zoro are so cool they can even beat up water.
