Talk:Gomu Gomu no Mi

Lots of Odd page edits going on
Someone's been editing this page a lot and removing things that shouldn't be removed. Like someone removed the Gigant Gatling entry for no reason, and deleted most of the "Translation and Dub Issues" section. I just put them back, but maybe this section is being vandalized again. Maybe it should be fixed and then locked for a while.68.228.236.211 09:56, 16 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Not really vandalization, just normal editing by regular editors.Mugiwara Franky 12:10, 16 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Yeah, but why does Gigant Gatling keep getting removed? And why does the blurb in Translation and Dub issues keep getting removed too?68.228.236.211 07:14, 21 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Because they don't belong.Mugiwara Franky 07:19, 21 June 2009 (UTC)


 * The Translation thing is True, but I guess I get why to remove that. But Why Gigant Gatling?  Are you in the habit of completely omitting things?! 68.228.236.211 07:33, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

Merge Luffy's Forms and other Gomu Gomu Fruit content to this page
I think I better ask this before I do anything. Can Luffy's Forms and Luffy's Devil Fruit attacks be merged with this page in order to make this article better? This page kinda needs some worth mentioning content to make it at least article like. I also expressed my opinions about Luffy's Forms on it's talk page. This page kinda needs to be improved at the very least.Mugiwara Franky 13:31, 13 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Hmm... Well, I don't see why not. Then the whole lot can stand in for Luffy's attacks page I will be setting up at a later date.  One-Winged Hawk 16:57, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Then do it. Merge them here.

Gomu Gomu no Jet Rocket/Missle
Due to the extension of the Luffy vs. Blueno fight, some moves were used that were not in the Manga. One of these (Jet Missle) was used in Chapter 482 and renamed Jet Rocket. Should this mater be addressed? 211.30.212.36 11:29, 22 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Visually Jet Missile and Jet Rocket seem very much the same. However they're different in some areas. Jet Missile appears to be an attack wherein grabs an opponent's head/hair and dives bomb into them. Jet Rocket is also not a renamed Jet Missile attack but a Gear Second version of Luffy's regular Rocket attack. They look the same but are different.Mugiwara Franky 11:54, 22 December 2007 (UTC)


 * where is the "Gomu Gomu no Baka"?--Thenewjericho 03:35, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

Protection
You know there has been a guy deleting many important parts in this page and refuse to stop. Can we lock this page until this guy go away?

 * Double agree on that note. Its becoming annoying. One-Winged Hawk 07:21, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Can Luffy make himself smarter using his elasticity?
Another popular pop-culture character with similar abilities to Luffy, Mr. Fantastic, had once increased his intellect by using his elastic powers to shorted the distance between the synapses in his brain, allowing him to think at phenomenal speeds. Assuming that Luffy would be able to perform a similar feat, then the result would be much like Gomu GOmu No Baka, only the polar opposite


 * The "sign comments" is my most poplaur telling off. Heres your copy it of it:  Sign your comments please with " ~ .  X-D


 * We'll have to wait and see... Since we had "Gomu x2 no baka" already which made him stupid then maybe. --One-Winged Hawk 16:03, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

Gomu Gomus/Gum-Gums
Didn't Oda say in a SBS question that Luffy can stretch up to 100 or 1000 Gomu Gomus? Or was it Gum-Gums in the English version? Should that be mentioned?

Bone Balloon
This is done by biting into his right thumb, presumably cutting it open down into to the bone, and then blowing air directly into the opened bone.

This seems like overanalytical speculation to me, since it's more likely than not to be just a reference to old cartoons, where characters would sometimes blow up their fists by blowing into their thumb.--24.255.171.220 00:26, 22 December 2008 (UTC)


 * While its obvious that its a reference, it really does happen. From here to here, one can see that Luffy didn't just simply blew into his thumb, he bit his finger so that the air can have a hole to travel through.


 * Also take into account that One Piece is not a western cartoon where everyone can do all sorts of wacky things beyond the laws of the natural world, its a japanese manga/anime where people are governed by the natural world and fictional pseudo-science. This means that while there are all sorts of wacky characters in One Piece, there is usually some science to it that explains things to a certain fictional degree. For this technique, how else would Luffy blow into his thumb without creating a hole for the air.Mugiwara Franky 08:32, 22 December 2008 (UTC)


 * This gif also shows how it is done.Mugiwara Franky 08:34, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

New Gear Third image
Sorry, I removed the old Gignt Pistol image and put a .gif of it instead. Is that okay? Uglyguy2008 23:24, 12 February 2009 (UTC)


 * From the Image Guidelines, just ask yourself; is it only depicting one thing and one scene only? In this case, yes!  Therefore the gif is safe.  If it includes Giant Pistol anda little bit more then it,then no.  I think the image is safe. One-Winged Hawk 23:47, 12 February 2009 (UTC)


 * The only thing I note looking over the page is there is a lot of Gifs on it... That slows down the loading of the page a lot and the image loading times. It might be best if we decide what are the most important ones and have just a few to avoid problems.  Thats what I advise otherwise.  (Again, no guidelines are broken, but the page is getting problematic, may have to change the image guidelines...).One-Winged Hawk 23:51, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
