SBS



The SBS (質問を募集する) is a special column featured in most tankoban collections of the manga, beginning with Volume 4. It is generally formatted as a straightforward question-and-answer column, with Eiichiro Oda replying to fan letters on a wide variety of subjects. Depending on the specific question, Oda's answer(s) may be short and flippant, or long and detailed.

It is here that the ages of the Straw Hat Pirates were first revealed, as well as various facts about the story that are not immediately apparent (but nevertheless present) in the chapters themselves. Sometimes the information on the characters is just suggested in this section by the fans, which Oda just agrees with and makes it official; for example, Tashigi's, Chopper's and Robin's birthdays which were all fan suggestions. The SBS was also where the author revealed the existence of the hidden characters Pandaman and Tomato Gang, who appear hidden in the background at many points during the series. Because of the nature of the SBS and the appeal of One Piece, Oda will get questions of all kinds of nature from the serious to silly and the 'mature'.

Overview
A standard SBS column is split into several one-page installments. Each installment is placed between two chapters of the corresponding volume, serving as chapter breaks as well as maintaining the pages' recto and verso alignments so double-page spreads will stay intact.

(Note that several alternate features may break chapters instead, most often the Usopp Gallery Pirates or a Storyboard Presentation. In rarer cases, two chapters may run back-to-back without any break.)

Each column has a header, depicting one or more characters spelling out "SBS" in some creative manner. Prior to Volume 50, these were all drawn by Oda himself, and differed by volume. However, per a reader's request in Volume 49's column, all subsequent headers use fan-submitted art, and differ with every individual installment.

Posting Address
Currently, Shueisha accepts new SBS submissions at the following address (also used for the Usopp Gallery Pirates): While return addresses are not strictly mandatory, SBS messages are generally expected to be written in Japanese. Similarly, header illustrations are expected to be 14×5.5 cm images drawn on the back of a postcard, per the following:

Apart from the above, Viz Media maintains its own mailing address for American fans (though it remains unknown whether any of the materials posted here—Japanese or otherwise—are ever relayed to Shueisha):

 * Volume 11 was a special Going Merry SBS which depicts the ship's design.
 * Volume 16 where Oda made a correction about a typo.
 * Volume 26 International investigation Committee was a special about One Piece issues in the different countries it is published in.
 * Volume 46 was a special Thousand Sunny SBS which depicts the ship's design.
 * Volume 59 and Volume 60 had M.K.K. corners (Matomete Kakatte Koi; Come all at once) where Oda made quick decisions on characters' birthdays based on fan letters as long as he liked the reasoning behind the date.
 * Voice Actors SBS
 * Volume 61 had an HDK corner (Hai, Domo, Konnichiwa; Yes, Greetings, How are you)
 * Volume 61 had a 3D2Y corner, full of different sketches of what Oda was thinking of making the Straw Hats look like after 2 years.

Translation and Dub Issues
While the Viz manga has retained and translated most SBS materials, it has skipped a few columns dedicated to showing off fan-made games. To maintain proper recto and verso alignments, the skipped columns are usually replaced with a generic "filler" page reprinting some panel from the preceding chapter.

Trivia

 * In a 2007 interview, Oda stated that the SBS was inspired by "a certain manga" from his youth that ran - and eventually discontinued - its own Q&A column. While never stated outright, many fans have assumed this manga to be Dragon Ball, which included such a feature in its first twelve tankōbon volumes.
