Talk:Machine Island

Karakuri
Aren't Machine Island and Karakuri Island the same? Or their names in Japanese are different? I think Machine is only a translation, but I'm not sure because I haven't seen chapter 448 RAW. Queproblematico 15:48, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
 * They're both Karakuri Jima in Japanese. The pages should be merged. 121.50.43.189 14:35, December 2, 2009 (UTC)


 * I didn't know they were seperate until today. Perhaps yes. One-Winged Hawk 17:57, December 2, 2009 (UTC)

So is it Karakuri or not? Ruxax 21:08, July 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * There's a similar discussion on the other page and my reasons there are the same for here.Mugiwara Franky 04:06, July 25, 2010 (UTC)

Reviving this. "Machine Island" is the same island as Karakuri Island. Same Japanese name, and according to JOP, Blue Deep confirms that Tsukimi is from Barujimoa (the kingdom on Karakuri). 23:32, March 15, 2015 (UTC)

If a databook says it, we've got to go with it. Time to merge the two.

Agree with Nova. 23:58, March 15, 2015 (UTC)

Merge it and close this. This isn't up for discussion, it's fact. 00:16, March 16, 2015 (UTC)

Why are we going by the data book? The data book is not always accurate and it's notorist for getting many facts wrong like Sabo being dead

When the databook presents completely new information, it's usually information provided by Oda himself (like the pre-OP sketches and the hundreds of WB ally names that were revealed). While Sabo's case was probably written from a "reader's perspective", this information about Tsukimi was revealed exclusively in the databook, hence we can consider it to be canon. 00:44, March 16, 2015 (UTC)

We cannot say they are the same island. And Blue Deep says It is said that Dr Tsukimi is from Barujimoa. --Klobis (talk) 05:21, March 16, 2015 (UTC)
 * からくり島 (hiragana) - Barujimoa
 * カラクリ島 (katakana) - Enel's cover story

I don't know what the databook says, but we cannot really deny informations from a databook unless they contradict the manga and as far as I understand there is no such of information in the manga, unless you consider the different spelling as such. However is that really an evidence that are indeed two different islands? Isn't it possible that the island was mentioned in two different occasions in two different ways? Because they realistically are the same one...
