D: I am "Timmy Ueda", of the SBS-Hijacking Group! I will start the SBS Corner before Oda-sensei does!! "Ehhh, start the SBS!!"

O: Gah! Damn. He started before me! Damn you, Timmy, damn you. Now I can't start the SBS! Oh wait, it already started.

D: Hello, Oda-sensei. You know, in volume 8, pg.92, the sixth panel, you wrote "Search for Pandaman", but I can't find him. Where is he? Please show me.

O: Aha. I got a whole bunch of postcards from people about this one. I got a bunch from people who found him, and a bunch from people who didn't find him. Even though I thought it was so small that no one would notice. Well, I'll show you the answer. In the bottom circle is written the phrase, "Search for Pandaman!!!" And Pandaman is in the upper-right circle.

D: When the Arlong guys and the other fishmen give birth, do they lay eggs like fish?

O: Bzzzt. Fishmen are still mammals, so they give birth the way humans do. There are fishwomen too, of course.

D: I wanna know the height of all 5. Nami's really cute.

O: The main 5, eh? Well why don't I answer that. First of all, Gaimon's height is... kidding. I'll start from the shortest. Nami's height is 169cm, Luffy is 172cm, Usopp is 174cm, Sanji is 177cm, and Zoro is 178cm. So they're all pretty much the same height.

D: Of all the fishmen, Hatchan is the cutest and funniest. But there's one thing that bothers me. Why is Hatchan's full name Hatchan, and his nickname is Hachi?

O: A lot of Chinese people have names that go **** Chan. So it should be just fine.

D: What is the thing that Usopp and a lot of the pirates in One Piece have tied around their waists? A towel? Or did they want one of Zoro's stomach bands, but they couldn't get one, so they used that instead? O: Like this? They all have them, don't they? There's no real deep reason for these things. I guess pirates just liked to wear these "decorative sashes". But sometimes they put their pistols in them, so maybe they aren't totally meaningless.

D: Here we go! Waaaaaoooooooouuuuuuuuuun(1)! Tuuuuuuuuuuyyyyyyyyyyyuuuuuuuuu(2)!! Thhhhhuuuuuuuuuurrrrreeeeeeee(3)?!!!

O: DAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!

D: One more time! Oooonnnnnnnneeeee(1)! Twwwwwwoooooooooo(2)! Threeeeeeeeeee(3)!

O: DAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!! Ah... they're playing with me.

D: Yo! 'sup. One Piece is always a hurricane of emotion. This is the first time I ever wrote to a manga artist. Oda-sensei is my favorite character.

O: I ain't a character.

D: A little while ago, my friend asked me to draw Shanks, so I did. Then he hit me on the head all of a sudden, and said, "Why'd you draw Jango?!" Is this a disease? O: Yes. It is a disease. "Redrawing Jango Sickness", I believe. You're always going to draw Jango. Be careful, as the final symptom is when you draw Jango as a sign for a home delivery company.

D: On page 121 in Volume 8, that thing that rises above Zeff's head is a hat, right? My mother says, "It's too tall to be a hat. There must be a pole behind him or something." Sensei, please make this blockhead (44) agree with me.

O: Okay, mom, listen to me now. In this world, there are certain unbending truths that you cannot avert your eyes from. The thing that is standing on Zeff's head is the "Tower of Faith", supported by the spirit of the heart. It's called the "Cook's Slice of Heaven Hat". That's right!!!

D: Sensei! I thought of a new move for Luffy-chan. It... it goes, Luffy stretches his mouth out and eats the enemy, then he goes to the bathroom and poops it out! How is it? It's good, right? Good idea.

O: No, it's not.

D: I have a question for Oda-sensei. What do you call Belmeil-san's haircut?

O: That hairstyle is called "Women have Guts". You should yell it out in a beauty parlor.

O: I'm glad Sanji is "girl-crazy", not "boy-crazy".

D: Uh, totally.

D: When Sanji thinks about a girl, the smoke from his cigarette turns into a heart shape. How does he do it? I want to try too!! Please(x100) tell me!

O: Uh, first of all, you have to be over 20. Then light your cigarette and take a big drag. When you do that, the smoke will come in contact with the "feeling of love" you put on your lungs beforehand, and then when you blow the smoke out, it will most definitely come out in the shape of a heart.

D: I can't really tell if Yosaku and Johnny are strong or not. It's definitely by a paper-thin margin. To mess around, between those two and Helmepp, who can stretch?

O: I think I would like Kaya to become a wonderful doctor.

D: When I read your manga, sensei, I think my way of doing things is good. So I've gotten the urge to pursue my dream to build a gigantic bridge to America.

O: That's nice. A boy with a dream. I like that. So there you go. If there are any guys who want to get in your way, I'll... put on a pair of leather boots... and kick their little toes or something. So don't worry. Try hard.

(Note: The next question is impossible for me to translate. I just can't make any sense out of it. Next question!)

(Note: Crap, this is a hard one too. I think "heboimo" means hick. I think. But I don't know. And "taihen" means extremely or terrible or great. Please keep that in mind.)

D: What does it mean when the cook Pati says, "Excuse me, your hickness"? (heboimo osoreirimasu)

O: "Please excuse me, sir" (taihen osoreirimasu). You hear that occasionally, yes? You just take "taihen" and replace it with "heboimo". For example, you would use it like this. "Oh my, you were hospitalized for a year? That must have been (hick?)." "This man has accomplished many (hick?) deeds. A round of applause.", etc... Just keep using it like that, and that's what heboimo means.

D: I have a question. Does Usopp have bones in his nose? Because I've seen it bent many times now...

O: I've never seen that. How could his nose possibly bend? What a ridiculous thing to... WHOA!! IT DOES BEND!!! THE SBS IS OVER!!
