My respect for Chad keeps growing. He's the unsung hero in his friend group; keeping them together and lifting their spirits up. He shined in that aspect during the fullbring arc.

And I mostly realized this here when he tried (and failed) to be a wingman

Also I really like how he realized where it went wrong and was ready to advise Orihime against the outfit.

Hello! In chapter 589 there's a text box that the English translation translates as:

Later on the page we see the conversation the revolutionaries had when dragon brings Sabo aboard (without the context that's what they're talking about of course), and it makes me wonder what exactly "the night after the ship of the celestial dragon sailed into port at the kingdom of Goa" means. Does it mean the night of the next day (meaning dragon probably had enough time to sail over) or the night of that same day (meaning dragon??? teleported??) (or that Zoro's dojo and Dawn island are a lot closer together then previously assumed??)?

Anyways I was wondering if the original Japanese sheds any light on this?

It's not an important question at all but I've been thinking about it way too much so I figured I'd ask lol. Thank you!

the japanese does clarify that it's the same day! it says 日の夜/hi no yoru, so literally 'the night OF the day (when the celestial dragon sailed into goa).' so yeah, presumably they're just less than a day's sailing apart.

Mocking tone aside, Madara's answer to Oonoki acquires more meaningful connotations when it's firmly kept in mind that it has this at its core

I’ve mentioned that しーん/shiiin is the sound effect for, specifically, dead silence/silent as the grave. 

It’s the sound effect when both Ace and Luffy forget Sabo’s not there anymore and turn around to rope him into their argument. 

[kaizokuou-ni-naru]

I got an ask a little while ago about the slightly unconventional grammar of Luffy’s catchphrase of ‘I will become the pirate king’ (since in Japanese two parts of the sentence are flipped from where they would usually be) and iirc the actual reason for it is Oda just thought it was funny and liked it better. So it’s kaizoku-ou ni ore wa naru instead of ore wa kaizoku-ou ni naru, which would be more normal.

However, the fact that it’s arranged like that lets us have this absolutely devastating contrast between these two lines, which are identical except for the last word. At the end of his flashback you have Luffy saying/thinking おれはなる/ore wa naru! (basically meaning ‘I will become!’), and then it smash cuts to present day with the contrast of おれは弱い/ore wa yowai! (‘I’m weak!’).
