Talk:Ope Ope no Mi

Name
So since this is the ability of a popular character, this page is sure to grow very fast.

I've looked into the name of the ability, and unless there are other ways of using the kanji, the "ope ope" comes from the kanji from "operation". The japanese name would be オペオペの実. This is confirmed when looking at the raw panel where Smoker names Law's devil fruit. So the long name of the fruit is the "operation operation" fruit. I wonder how Viz is gonna name it.

Ope Ope no Mi's First Apperance - Chapter 505, Episode 398 (Hcw88 15:48, March 21, 2012 (UTC))

Interesting indeed. So this fruit allows the user to completely manipulate reality within their radius of influence. Incredible!74.99.77.194 16:33, March 21, 2012 (UTC)

Pronunciation?
I must ask how is this fruit pronounced? Is it OPE as in ANTELOPE or "oh-pee" (yea those words are weird but how else am I supposed to write it >.>)? I have to say this page has sky-rocketed in less than a day though =P PhoenixRising101 11:44, March 22, 2012 (UTC)

I thought it was oh-pay, but this isn't really that big of a deal. There are a lot of different pronunciations for words. 12:42, March 22, 2012 (UTC)

It's close to "oh-pay". Actually it's the same "é" as in "Pokémon"—though I don't know whether English speakers pronounce Pokémon correctly…

Since it's japanese, and they don't pronounce "E" like you crazy americans, it's pronounced Oh-Peh. You know, like Vader's breath? Ope. Not Oap, not O-pay, not O-pi.Ruffy 13:12, March 22, 2012 (UTC)

And, no. English speakers do not pronounce Pokémon correctly. It's pronounced Pock-eh-mon. Not Poke-a-mon.Ruffy 13:12, March 22, 2012 (UTC)

Sff9 and PX are right. Think of what Smoker said, his power is like an operating room. Operating, now just apply a Japanese accent. 13:35, March 22, 2012 (UTC)

No its definatly Oh-Peh, if you say it like you say operating room. 13:50, March 22, 2012 (UTC)

Does it really matter? 13:54, March 22, 2012 (UTC)

No, but it's nice to be helpful. 13:57, March 22, 2012 (UTC)

uhm we will eventually hear how to pronounce it in the anime won't we. (OnePieceNation 19:13, March 22, 2012 (UTC))
