One Piece in Germany

The German version of One Piece is broadcasted by RTL II and its in its fourth run on that channel.

The names of the characters can differ from their original form,thus being the source of utter confusion from fans of the dubbed versions.

(Because in Central Europe,One Piece is broadcasted in the German Version only,many Czech & Slovakian fans know characters out of this anime by their German names,witch are at times mere translations of the Japaneese meening,yet can be a source of confusion,as some of them are different in such decree,that it is hard for German fans of the series to recognise the names of Characters in English summaries)
