Talk:Shakuyaku

Shakky x Rayleigh reason
Do you know what Ussop Gallery Pirates is? If you don't, just look it up in the wiki and you'll probably find it. Anyhow, I was flipping through Volume 61 which I got recently, and I saw an Usopp Gallery Pirates section and so I just read the comments by "Usopp" (a.k.a. Oda) on the fanart people sent to "him". You know, like "Great" or "Ewww" or "How'd you do that?!" or "Grand Prize" or whatever.

Well, there's this piece of art submitted by a fan with Shakky and Rayleigh on it, and I just realized that the short comment by "Usopp" says "A cool married couple". (カッコイイ夫婦♡). カッコイイ means cool, and 夫婦 means married couple, so I figured Oda was hinting us all along. It was on Volume 61 page 77. 23:15, March 8, 2011 (UTC)

I guess it's a bit unnecessary to reply to this now but I might as well.

Although Oda gave his comment on that it doesn't necessarely feel canon. Even though for what they say it seems they live together at the bar it is unspecified if they are actually in a relationship at all, and until the manga says it we're leaving it out.

You know it's not the first time Oda says something regarding the series that it isn't true. He has said tons of things like "I don't kill characters off" "I don't want to include love in One Piece" "I don't include deep messages in One Piece" so whatever he says isn't really accurate

The citations for their married status aren't showing up correctly. That's probably why someone tried to revert it. Rayfire (talk) 05:03, August 11, 2015 (UTC)

Kuja
Is shakki from the kuja tribe? the name of a flower? having connections with the kuja.72.46.128.138 17:06, January 17, 2014 (UTC)

Shakky's age
So when she is first introduced she says she quit being a pirate 40 years ago, so should we put in her age over 40 years? Like how Keimi is under 30 because her tail hasn't split yet

Shayleigh again
Nvm, Mizu just pointed out that Shakuyaku called Rayleigh "uchi no hito" (person of my household) at the end of episode 392 so I guess their relationship is canon. 21:39, June 8, 2015 (UTC)

Found the chapter, it's 498. Time to change stuff. 21:41, June 8, 2015 (UTC)

It seems a bit out of the blue tbh, but anyway instead of flat out calling them married everywhere can we just make a relationship section (it's missing anyway) where we explain in detail their relationship and how we concluded they are married? Other then what you said, which we need to explain, there is also the thing about the UGP of volume 61 where Oda commented a draw of them calling "a cute married people" (I think this is missing in both pages). Also the present reference is empty.

Okay. Here's my point on the matter. We can't explicitly tell the readers they are a married couple, though yeah, Jopie has a point about "Uchi no Hito" or person of my household thingy. I can suggest this relationship to be "presumed" and maybe.. include this in the speculations article.

I'd like to understand the "degree of certainty" of the fact they are married. I think I understand what jopie said and that's enough for me to consider them a couple, however I think we should state (and explain) it only in the specific section for now. After all, isn't it possible that she using as figure as speech? For example someone can call someone else "dear" or "honey" but that doesn't guarantee 100% they are a couple (in specific situations). This is one of my doubts, but mostly I find this information very subtle hence why I think we should just explain things in its own section for now.

If there's no ambiguity in the "person of my household" thing, then there's no reason for us to be conservative about this. 13:22, August 11, 2015 (UTC)

Shakuyaku calls Rayleigh ウチの人 ("uchi no hito"- lit. person of my household) on the last page of chapter 498 in volume 51. I've researched online and even asked native Japanese speakers for confirmation just in case (since I'm born and raised Japanese-American), and both clearly state that you would NOT call someone "uchi no hito" unless you were specifically referring to him as your husband. There's really no other meaning to it.

Though there is a slight chance of Shakky jokingly referring to Rayleigh as her husband or calling him her "family" because they've known each other for so long, these possibilities can be eliminated by taking a look at the multiple occasions in which Oda himself has made it 100% clear that these two are in fact, a married couple. Here are 3 instances I could find: Oda chooses the featured artwork for UGP and writes the comments for them himself, and I doubt he would straight up call these two husband and wife not once or twice, but three times if he didn't mean for it to be canon. Databook Blue Deep lists the two as friends, but it's not like married couples can't also be friends, and the databooks (especially this particular one) have fucked up countless times already, so I wouldn't take it too seriously. We also use manga/whatever Oda says over databook as a source anyway. 22:42, August 11, 2015 (UTC)
