Talk:Thriller Bark

It's Name
I'm not 100% sure is "Thriller Park" is the name of the island. I've seen other names like "Thrillerberg", and "Thriller Barque" (スリラーバーク Surirābāku). Does anyone have any ideas?

 * I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be "Thrillerberg", based on the typical Japanese pronunciation of "berg". It's definitely not "park", as there's no "p" sound in it, but I've seen many people disagreeing... I'd say just go with "berg", but if you don't want to, I'd wait for Stephen's translation to come out, as many people seem to think it's the most accurate. ^^ --Murasaki 07:06, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay, looks like Stephen's using "Burke", which seems to work nicely, so I suggest going with that. ^^ --Murasaki 02:02, 3 February 2007 (UTC)


 * But Thriller Park sounds right. It looks like another Enel/Ener/Eneru debate. Thriller Park makes sense, especially if Oda is trying to point at something. Perhaps it being a sort of haunted house style place, could be a reference to theme parks such as Disneyland or carnivals, both of which usually offer a "scary" attraction, which is really smoke and mirrors, which could be what the island is, a trick from the person in charge of the island. Of course that is translations aside. Thrillerberg is ok, it comes close, but I'm not sure Barque is even a word. If we need to vote I'm saying Thriller Park. Cody2526 11:21, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
 * It can't be park, based on the kana. The kana use a "b", not a "p".


 * Burke:

 * Barque:

 * Those are both possible, I'd go for one of them. I prefer "Burke" myself, since it's not a boat, but either one works great with the kana. "Berg" is possible as well, but the other two work a lot better. --Murasaki 21:41, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

 * So now we can change it to its official name. Brillant!  :D One-Winged Hawk 18:45, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Dogpen
My understanding of Dogpen is that he is actually unnamed. So calling him Dogpen is wrong, because he is NAMELESS. Fans made up his name and since we don't use fan names, we should properly ditch that term. I was also gonna say another pointer on that, but I forget what it is.

 * Considering he supposedly introduces himself as "San" when he first appears, Hogback just calls him "Penguin", and the Japanese fans call him "Sanpen", the penguin is pretty much nameless. The penguin also, despite housing Sanji's shadow, doesn't seem to have as much background as compared to other zombies like Ryuuma or even Talleran for that matter. Maybe it's just me but the guy, due to lack of info and development, seems abit too minor to even warrant his own article. Maybe by the end of this arc or in the future, it maybe a good idea to reread it all and reevaluate all these characters. I mean surely, the Wounded Zombie looking Old Man is more notable than the Wall Zombie.Mugiwara Franky 10:54, 2 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Agree. 100%.  Fully.  One-Winged Hawk 20:19, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Attention everybody
Due to a vandel page creation that was meant to attack me this morning, I come to discuss if the Thriller Bark tamplete is allowed here or not. I would object because it cheapens up the page and I like the Thriller Bark page with olny discussing the layout, history, culture, food, people, and many others like the Arabasta page and felt the tamplete should fit somewhere else. Maybe adding them to the Thriller Bark people reather then this page.

Template Color
Hello. :) The work you've all accomplished for this encyclopedia is wonderful. I only have a small suggestion with regards to the Thriller Bark page. I think the template containing pictures and links to the main characters of the arc is great, but I found the names of the characters themselves hard to decipher, due to the dark purple coloring in the background of the template. Dark purple indeed represents the color-theme of Thriller Bark, but is it possible to lighten the color so that the names of the characters are legible? Seasoned fans of One Piece would easily recognize the characters by picture, of course - but for the average person, it might be hard to read.
