#arc: romance dawn

[kaizokuou-ni-naru]

i was rereading chapter one panel by panel because i was reading it out loud to my girlfriend, and when we hit this panel it really suddenly caught my attention in light of all the revelations in wano surrounding gear 5, so i was kind of distraught when a friend informed me that it's mistranslated pretty badly in the official translation.

anyways, i would translate what luffy is saying here as: "ever since/because i ate the gomu gomu no mi and became a rubber person, i'm always happy! look!"

EDIT: quick correction based on some added information people gave me: should probably be closer to "way more happy" than "always happy" given the context of the line (the fact that it's contrasting with before he ate the devil fruit, which i overlooked).

trust Roronoa Zoro with bounty over 1,111,000,000 to freak the fuck out if the crew got separated away from him AND their godly captain

#he's the man with the biggest cock that he turns into a mother hen #for context zoro just heard nami screaming after he almost got beat up by two (2) seraphims (mini-version of worrisome guys (to him)) #so it's understandable he freaked out despite... what's the plan again? oh right. no plan yet anyway BUT IT'S NOTHING NEW OKAY #the crew must be within his eye-and-ear-shot and under his protection at all costs!!!1!!11! #anatolian kangal shepherd dog zoro the best best best zoro #Romance Dawn Trio #One Piece Chapter 1076 #Egghead Island Arc #Egghead Arc #Roronoa Zoro #Straw Hat Pirates #Mugiwara no Ichimi #tagging ZoLu because it's rare to see Zoro stressing out to Luffy about the safety of the crew being away from him/them

Hi, gosh, I love your blog! Thank you for all the information you share, your work really is invaluable and honestly your posts are just a joy to read.

I have a question about Chapter 580 and it’s something I’ve wondered for a long time. In the official English translation, Lucky Roux says to Shanks, “Don’t you want to see [Luffy]?” and Shanks replies, “I wish I could…but to see him now…would violate our agreement. Right, Luffy?”

I was always struck by the use of ‘violate’ and ‘agreement’ here. ‘Violate’ is such a harsh word, with the same root as ‘violence’, and while ‘agreement’ is a neutral word, it strikes me as so cold and sterile to use to reference the moment that lays the foundation for the grandness and romance of the story—and a moment full of so much emotion. I’ve wondered too about using the word ‘agreement’ there as opposed to ‘promise’—which is the word Shanks used in Chapter 1, and the word Luffy always uses to describe the sentiment between him and Shanks (at least in all the English translations I’ve seen).

How does the English translation compare with the original text? I’ve also read some of your previous posts about Shanks and I see you’ve noted that he speaks casually. How does this moment compare with how he usually speaks?

Thank you again! 🫶

yeah, i'd say that's technically not incorrect but also not how i would translate it. the word used here is 約束/yakusoku, which is indeed most often translated as 'promise' or 'vow'. it can mean agreement as well, but to me at least yakusoku invokes something less clinical and more emotional.

and then the word that's been translated as 'violate' in the official is just 違う/chigau, which means basically 'different/wrong.' so i personally would probably phrase it like "meeting now would go against/be counter to our promise."

oh, and i assume this isn't replicated in translation, but the font of shanks' dialogue in this scene is also the same as when he gives luffy the hat in chapter 1:

Yes, Luffy liked Zoro and decided to recruit him, but the mental image of Luffy gunning so hard for him in the place to the point of blackmail so he could be an official pirate captain asap, is hilarious
