Question
Is Big Mom even a real character? 09MurphyM 03:26, April 13, 2010 (UTC)

It's not certain yet but apparently she's the final Yonkou


 * She was named as the final Emperor in an unconfirmed bit of spoiler text for chapter 581. Unlike usual, we don't even have confirmation from any of the usual sources that this spoiler is even close to legitimate, as well as not having any pictures to go along with it whatsoever.
 * It may very well end up being true, but until the full chapter comes out, we can't confirm it and it's against the rules of the wikia to post spoiler information anyway. So, short answer is: We don't know yet, maybe. So don't add anything on this character, at least not yet. DemonRin 15:10, April 13, 2010 (UTC)

She's totally Lola's mom, the famous pirate in the New World. Makes perfect sense and there's a mild resemblance.

Well the chapter is out and she's confirmed

the chapter is confirmed i just read it at www.mangastream.com and the final emperor is named by kidd.

Sex
It hasn't been confirmed but i think we should refer to Big Mum as a she for now if that's ok.I don't think we will see a tranvestite stronger than Ivankov.UsoppSpell 20:00, April 14, 2010 (UTC)

Romanization
Just a note: the name from the raw is, in katakana, ビッグ・マム Biggu Mamu. To me, it sounds like it should be "Big Mom", but maybe that's just my American English bias. Daisekihan 19:56, April 14, 2010 (UTC)

Several things not to do
First, we cannot be sure of the gender even from the name/nickname. What if the person is an okama or just flamboyant or people just asume they are female ? There are a lot of possibilities so it's best not to speculate.

The same goes for writing "some fans speculate she is Lola's mother". This should absolutely not go into an article, for crissake. --New Babylon 20:15, April 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * Properly not Okama, but at this stage anythings possible. I doubt its Okama because Ivankov is pretty much king and all and I doubt someone stronger then him/her would be introduced.  This will properly make moresense to me though tomorrow... One-Winged Hawk 22:41, April 14, 2010 (UTC)

Name
Is it Big Mum or Big Mom??Please pick one and stop changing it!!UsoppSpell 20:32, April 14, 2010 (UTC)

For now we should probably just go with "Mom". The only sub up so far is Mangastream; and while it's good for getting the gist of the chapter, then exact translations are usually a bit different from what it has. So until we have a few more subs up, let's use the more common "Mom" instead of "Mum". If worst comes to worst, is it really all that hard to change?Gerokeymaster 20:53, April 14, 2010 (UTC)

Btw do we know if Big Mom is his/her name or nickname?Kidd used Shank's nickname and Kaidou's name when he was talking about the Yonkou.UsoppSpell 20:49, April 14, 2010 (UTC)

It's almost certainly a nickname. Kaidou may not have a nickname, and Kidd uses Shanks's, Whitebeard's, and Blackbeard's nicknames in the same conversation. Anyway, like everyone is saying, let's just wait, and not jump to any conclusions. They'll be formally introduced soon enough...Gerokeymaster 20:53, April 14, 2010 (UTC)

We do NOT know which one of the two it is
So do not act as if we do. --New Babylon 20:41, April 14, 2010 (UTC)

Yah, better to leave the version of the picture with both faces up...Gerokeymaster 20:50, April 14, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah they both look ugly anyway ^^ UsoppSpell 20:51, April 14, 2010 (UTC)

Can someone who knows how resize the profile pic so it's not squished all onto the right side? I'd do it but I'm afraid I'll screw it up worse...Gerokeymaster 21:01, April 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well it's good the way it is for now . Let's wait and see if some over zealous contributors don't revert everything I've reverted back before bothering about trivialities . --New Babylon 21:09, April 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * Its properly the one their saying it is... I'd like to see a phyical appearance though before we declare it possible. One-Winged Hawk 22:39, April 14, 2010 (UTC)

Easier Pronoun
Instead of using he/she, him/her, and all that, would it be easier to just use they, their, etc., until we know the gender. It makes it a bit less confusing in my opinion, but I won't change it unless some other people think it's a good idea, too...Gerokeymaster 21:33, April 14, 2010 (UTC)

they?why use they when u r talking about one person?well maybe he/she(:P) has a split personality but thats just speculation(actually it is a joke)UsoppSpell 21:35, April 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * That is quite gramaticaly incorent . Plus "him/her" is a legitimate and well used form of either refering to several people or to someone whose gender you do not know . --New Babylon 21:40, April 14, 2010 (UTC)
