Talk:Vander Decken

Full name
According to wikipedia, Van der Decken's full name is Hendrik van der Decken. While we don't know if that is the character's full name, I think it should be added as trivia or something, since the names of both the captain and the ship were taken right out of maritime folklore. Does anyone agree or disagree?DancePowderer 16:06, December 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * I agree. Maybe you should also include a link to Wikipedia pointing to the Flying Dutchman and its captain, since they are obviously related to them it wouldn't fall under speculation. MasterDeva 16:41, December 2, 2010 (UTC)

Species and Appearence
Since The Flying Dutchman obviously didn't have any coating, shouldn't the page say that Van der Decken didn't have to breathe Oxygen? We shouldn't speculate wether he and his crew is fishmen, immortal or such, but we should note that he do not have to breathe air. We should also make a text about his appearence, such as his grinning mouth, young hand (revealing he isn't very old in his appearence) and his very high shoulders.

Family Line
New information has revealed that the Van der Decken in the legend and the one the Strawhats encountered are two different people. I propose we make an article for Van der Decken XI, and move the current events section to his page. Also, just want to put this out there, we should NOT make pages for Van der Deckens II-X, that's just too much. Does anyone agree?DancePowderer 19:12, January 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * I second the motion. --Kingluffy1 19:30, January 12, 2011 (UTC)
