Talk:Vander Decken IX

Reason for Move?
Why was it moved from XI to IX? The manga said XI. If there isn't a reason I'm going to get rid of the redirect.DancePowderer 16:45, January 13, 2011 (UTC)


 * You read Japanese manga? It says 九世=IX. (Not 十一世=XI) --Klobis 03:48, January 14, 2011 (UTC)

Ok, I couldn't find a raw, so I didn't understand. Sorry to have bothered you.DancePowderer 05:54, January 14, 2011 (UTC)

Also, mangastream has updated and fixed the recent One Piece chapter and it says Vander Decken IX. http://mangastream.com/read/one_piece/74136489/13 NANLIT 17:39, January 14, 2011 (UTC)

Mato Mato no Mi
Just because the Mermaid Princess described it as "Mato Mato" in the style of Devil Fruits for his ability, that doesn't automatically make it a Devil Fruit.

Why is everyone so prone to jumping to conclusions just from seeing one panels worth of information? You guys did the same thing with Caribou (and yes, in the end it was a correct assumption), but it was still an assumption nonetheless and as far as I can tell such things are not permitted on this Wikia, are they not?

His ship is coated, and he met Jones while wearing a flutter kick coating. Why else would a fishman need a flutter kick coating?DancePowderer 20:42, February 2, 2011 (UTC)

Although I agree with DP that all evidence is proven, I partially agree with Sub that we can't b ecareful enough and this is indeed not permitted on the wikia. Not confirmed means speculations, which equals forbidden. But let's go along with it, I don't mind. Yountoryuu 20:49, February 2, 2011 (UTC)

I don't agree with saying that Decken ate a Devil Fruit at all. I agree with Yountoryuu that speculations are forbidden, and we should only call this a curse and nothing else.68.36.166.78 23:42, February 8, 2011 (UTC)

Remember, a devil fruit is "a curse", especially for fishmen who are always UNDERWATER. Although I find the speculation part annoying, it is probably ok to leave the Mato Mato no Mi thing. If it is some kind of "devil fruit especially for fishmen" or whatnot, we can always rename the page. As for the subbs, it is accurate. In Japanese, Shrahoshi says "「マトマト」という悪魔の呪いを受けておられ. . . " which directly translates to "he took a devil's curse called "Mato Mato"". I'm confident this is referring to a DF. JapaneseOPfan 00:06, February 9, 2011 (UTC)

I agree how likely that it is a Devil Fruit, however, it was never directly stated as a Devil Fruit so we should simply call it a curse because, as I said before, speculation is forbidden. Atleast onepiece.wikkii doesn't call it a Devil Fruit. I think we should just remove all referances that it is a Devil Fruit and simply call it "Mato Mato" until it is directly stated as Devil Fruit. 68.36.166.78 23:55, February 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * I agree. It's pretty blatantly obvious that it's a DF. But we've avoided speculation thus far, let's not break that shall we?
 * To make it clear, you are against the site keeping it as a Devil Fruit? If anyone else agrees, remove all refrances that it is a Devil Fruit, keep it a curse, and rename the Devil Fruit article just to Mato Mato. 68.36.166.78 00:57, February 10, 2011 (UTC)
