Everyday
Just where does this fall under here? Rgilbert27 (talk) 00:07, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

Sorry for barging in, but maybe a new category should be created? Like, one for "official news sources" including the websites, and maybe One Piece Official Manga App and such? I don't think these other things I mentioned actually have pages, but it might be worth it... or not? Not sure. Anyway, I think that Everyday needs a new category. Or just an "official apps" might solve this problem. Jessica Ilha (talk) 12:08, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

"Video Games and Apps" sounds nice! Though Moja and Everyday aren't what I'd call games, they do have a gaming aspect to them. But should that category be created, how are we dealing with game apps? They'll just keep their place within their game genre, and we create an "other apps" section to include (mainly) non-gaming apps? Or we can create an "App Navibox" and then game apps would have both naviboxes. I don't know how we'd classificate the apps within their own navibox, though...

IMO, we'd be fine with an "other apps" or "non-gaming apps" section within the renamed "Video Games and Apps" Navibox.Jessica Ilha (talk) 10:21, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

Yes, that sounds better indeed! For the Apps Navibox, maybe the division could be "mobile games", "non-gaming apps" and "crossover apps", the latter to include other Jump apps that have One Piece features?

That being said, would Jump Festa 2020's app get a page? I unfortunately wasn't able to participate last year, but the app was supposedly really good and interactive during the event... Jessica Ilha (talk) 15:03, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

I like your draft! Separating Crossover Game Apps from Crossover Non-Gaming Apps might be cool too!

If Cat's Sushi is the game I'm thinking of, aren't we missing Pokemon GO on the list then? A quick Google search also pointed to an old app called "Lawson ARG One Piece Stamp Rally App". I tried to see if there was any others, but couldn't find anything... Jessica Ilha (talk) 09:24, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for the hard work (otsukare-sama I want a word for this in English too XD)! I think that some apps might be worth their own pages but, if we end up we a lot of small pages, then we could merge them later.

I'll see what I can do after I watch the rest of the playthrough for Ocean's Dream... which might take a while, the guy I'm watching made almost 50 videos and I'm barely on #10... *sighs* Jessica Ilha (talk) 03:35, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

Bascudo Siblings
I have a question about Adelle Bascùd's and Shuraiya Bascùd's names' English transcriptions. Why the hell do they have grave accents?? (I reckon you probably don't know why, I'm just expressing all my frustration XD)

I searched a lot and I found NO SINGLE THING other than these characters' names that are written as "Bascùd" (and most of the instances seem to have been taken from this very wiki anyway). Some other places opted to write their name as "Bascudo", which doesn't seem to be a real world in any language (that I know of, at least. It seemed Spanish or Italian, but other than looking like the word for shield, escudo/scudo, I found nothing).

I tried to search in Japanese for some reference, but even then I found nothing. The only other place that seems to use the same katakana is one of Eureka Seven's game, with an attack rendered as "Vascud Crisis".

Their talk pages is a war edit mess, and someone claimed that Klobis was supposed to take a look at the name's transcriptions, but after that nothing has been disclosed.

The point is, I think we should at the very least remove the accent from our rendition of the name, but I don't want to do that alone as I have no proof of the real spelling (I've never seen any informational data about the 4th movie anywhere...).

It also bothers me that someone just decided that Adelle has two L, and a Japanese name for Shuraiya doesn't feel good with such a "foreigner name" (their name's order is even "Western"). But I've only seen a fan Twitter write his name as Schreier (a real name) and a random page, not related to One Piece at all, called Schleyer (it had the same katakana).

It really bugs me because I'm finding these old pages that are so... oddly written? There's these two, then there was Mihawk's Hitsugibune still in English (despite the guidelines stating that no boat should be named in English), and the names of the animals from the 3rd movie were... just randomly assigned. Like messenger pig (official name from One Piece Rainbow!) that was named as "trumpet pig". Just... why? OP Rainbow came out before the movie, it's not like people could not look at it before creating the page...

Anyway, what can/should we do about the Bascudo siblings? Jessica Ilha (talk) 10:41, 26 March 2021 (UTC)

Thanks, and sorry, I tend to get too worked up sometimes (and real life being tough right now does NOT help).

Actually, I have no conviction on how to call them. For the surnames, I have the following suggestions: 1. Bascud (just drop the accent) 2. Bascudo (and add a trivia saying that it's a reference to escudo, Portuguese/Spanish for shield) 3. Vascud (and add a trivia saying that it's a probable reference to the Portuguese navigator Vasco da Gama) 4. Vascudo (a mix of 2 and 3 above)

As for the name, I quite confident that Adelle should have only one L (namely, "Adele"). The reason why is because I feel there's quite the Portuguese/Spanish naming theme going on in the movie. First we have Gasparde, a reference to some Gaspar (a Portuguese/Spanish name) guy. Then there's Bascudo, a probable reference to a Portuguese/Spanish word and/or a Portuguese name. I think that "Biera" might actually be "Viera", a common Spanish surname (not "biela", it seems that's a slang for penis in Spanish?). If that's true, then Adelle should be spelt as it is in Portuguese and Spanish: with one L only.

But... then there's the damned Shuraiya, with a name that seems to fit nothing! I've seen the real, German surnames of Schleyer, Schreier, Schrayer and a lot of mix-and-match variations between those three. But not even a single person famous enough to have drawn the creators' attention to the point of naming a character like that... I feel that choosing any name is the same as what someone did with the grave accent... Jessica Ilha (talk) 08:35, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

Oh, that page is official? I did stumble on it, but I thought it was fan made... I mean, not many mobile games have a complete, official site like that.

So Bascud not having an O at the end throws my Spanish-related names a bit to the side, though we do have "Madrid" that's written "Madrido" in Japanese... ... or scratch that, I just saw that their hometown is "Elena", the Spanish version of the name "Helen", there's most definitely a Spanish theme going on with them.

So Adelle Bascùd would be Adele Bascud, and Biera would play along to the theme and become Viera then? Jessica Ilha (talk) 08:58, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

Occupation Boxes
Images used on an Occupation Box don't work with "Infobox" attached and I was trying to reduce the number of bytes. If the change can't happen on the page then Occupation Box should be changed instead. Also I'm just bringing up ideas to another user after this, not telling, and if you can please help when I get started. Rgilbert27 (talk) 06:40, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

Dwarf Sketches
Hmm, so I looked at chapters 713 and 733 again for safe measure, but even I'm not sure with that one for Tarara. I know there are times Oda will change certain attributes for characters, despite sketches, so I'm on the borderline of "it's a possibility" for the chapters.

I know I was having trouble even seeing the names for those two female dwarves and so did another user, but that's what I came up with, given all the zooming and enlarging of the image I was trying to do. I would honestly go with the Sleepy style sketch page for now, unless we can find an image for Tarara.

Oh, you've looked at that list I have? I know some of the names on there may not be correct or a possibility of not existing, as I've done research and Google Translate can only take my little Japanese language understanding so far, so I probably need to put a disclaimer for now on the names.

(MissVampy13 (talk) 04:37, 5 May 2021 (UTC))

Gracious, I wasn't expecting a more bigger conversation with the sketches, but that's a good thing, it helps out. Like I said, I could be incorrect and thinking it's an "S" for the "Masosherry" situation.

After reading the messages and typing this, I updated my page and put a disclaimer. xD (MissVampy13 (talk) 16:39, 5 May 2021 (UTC))

No problem, that happens with everyone ;D I do hope we get names for her and all the other minor characters without name since the last "book" Databook, but the Vivre Cards are taking so long to come... Jessica Ilha (talk) 13:28, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

Whenever I look at the last kana, I can only see a う (specially when you compare to other ラ on the same page, or even other う on the previous page). However, I don't think that naming a character with katakana-katakana-hiragana makes sense, at least not in this case, but then we have cases like Ipponmatsu and Ulti...

Oda's writing is just a mess, he's written タ in three or four different ways on the same page! Someone, please give the guy some Calligraphy classes.

Anyway, I believe her name is (was?) supposed to be Tarara and the う-looking ラ is just a mistake of whoever had to clean up Oda's drawings for publication... Jessica Ilha (talk) 16:18, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

It certainly looks the part... If there's no other, then it's this one, or Oda never actually drew Tarara anywhere. Jessica Ilha (talk) 15:35, 19 May 2021 (UTC)

Marine Ad
I finally put my hands on the "last" Grand Times! (I still think there's one missing, but I can't find it anywhere) Just like last time, I uploaded the ads (Tropical Hotel and the Join-The-Navy-style Marine this time), but I'm having a hard time determining who's the soldier on the ... Is him Rokkaku, Ripper or someone entirely different?? Jessica Ilha (talk) 15:35, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
