Talk:First Mate

Note
It would be helpful if we got the Japanese translation up here on what "First Mate" is etc, on all these job pages, its harder to supply evidence elsewhere otherwise. One-Winged Hawk 14:14, March 9, 2010 (UTC)

It would be helpful if we got the proper English translation for the Japanese word 副船長, Fuku Senchō which is Vice-Captain. Tipota 10:42, March 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * According to dictionaries 副 can mean "deputy", "auxillary", "secondary" etc. A 副船長, Fuku Senchō is therefore the second-in command, the one who replaces the captain (船長, Senchō) when the latter is abscent. In english, this position is called Chief/First Mate/Officer in civilian and XO (Executive offivcer) on military ships. El Chupacabra 14:11, March 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * And I always wondering what exactly 一等航海士 means. Tipota 16:37, March 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * This meanss as "First Mate" as well. Interestingly, 航海士 alone means "Navigator". Now the question is, which term is used in the japanese manga? El Chupacabra 16:26, March 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * It wasn’t a question. Tipota 12:01, March 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * This is the same as in the manga: Rayleigh as a slave.jpg


 * Any help? One-Winged Hawk 17:41, March 12, 2010 (UTC)

On chapter 500 and databooks it used the 副船長. Tipota 12:01, March 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * Stick to that then. :-) One-Winged Hawk 13:07, March 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * Then it's 副船長. Should I add this to the article? El Chupacabra 18:11, March 15, 2010 (UTC)

Was Brook the first mate?
Since Brook became the captain of the Rumbar Pirates after Yorki left, can it be assumed that he was the RP's first mate? 11:38, February 18, 2012 (UTC)

Speculation.


 * I think this has come up before, same thing said as previously mentioned. I know it seems silly but until you get it in front of you in writing you can't even consider it. Not when technically Zoro's not even classified as "second mate".  One-Winged Hawk 19:26, February 18, 2012 (UTC)
