Summer's in full swing and it's that time again! Feel free to ask me about any aspects of One Piece you are curious about, be it about the series, its characters, or even about Oda and the franchise as a whole, and I'll try to answer as thoroughly as I can to all of you!

Since some asked, don't worry, you can message me at any time of the month, as I promise to get back to everyone!

Not sure how related or ok this is. Do you have any Japanese cinema tips? You’re probably gonna see Stampede when you’re in Japan and I’m still srsly considering going around that time too, also for the movie. But I have no idea about Japanese cinema, if there are events, how to get tickets, or maybe places with subs. And I also have no idea how to figure this out any other wat than asking you, haha. Thanks!

Don't worry about asking! Japanese cinemas really aren't much different from other places in the world honestly, you usually just buy a ticket online or at the cinema itself. Unlike other forms of media, cinemas don't tend to do long-time pre-orders, so usually you can only pre-order a week or two in advance, the only exception being if the brand itself hosts long-time pre-order vouchers (I believe Shueisha/Toei did so for Stampede months ago, but you could only get them in Japan and it was only for a few exclusive seats, shouldn't be much trouble to get a day one screening if you preorder). Though keep in mind if you're doing it online, most websites are available only in Japanese. While tickets might be limited, given how big Stampede is and how many cinemas there are in Tokyo, I don't think you risk of all tickets being sold out. As for subs, I highly doubt you'd be able to find them, aside from perhaps very specific cinemas. It's one thing to go watch a foreign movie in English with JP subtitles, that's very common, but a tourist-dedicated JP movie with English subtitles just isn't. You might find somewhere in the massive metropolis that is Tokyo, but I don't know how hard that could be. Best of luck! P.S.: Just as a note, but cinemas in Japan are slightly more expensive, sometimes 15-20 bucks per ticket. But I assume if you're willing to put in the journey to get there, 10 bucks more won't do the difference!

Hi again, Arthur! I hope you are doing well! Maybe I missed this information through your "Ohara chapters" as I like to call your Chapter Secrets series. But why are you paying so much attention to the numbered guards?

Thank you! Hope you're well too! Honestly not sure myself on their purpose yet, we don't have a precise idea what their numbers mean. Could be gifter order or some other sort of position, but we just don't know. What we know is that SOMETHING it has to mean, so I keep track of them to see where this leads. This isn't the first time I've done this. I tried identifying all mink species on Zou and all the members of the Charlottes in WCI (long before we had an official list). So I guess it's just habit at this point!
