Talk:Pedro

Leopard or Cheetah?
People seem to have figured Pedro to be a Leopard, but the spots that can be seen are characteristics of a cheetah. I think the tail may also resemble a cheetah's more. (Shadoguardian (talk) 05:33, December 20, 2015 (UTC))

So change it. Potayto potahto.

They both have spots. SeaTerror (talk) 05:54, December 20, 2015 (UTC)

Leopards have more of a bloby spots like his tail in Chapter 809, but cheetahs have round spots like his forehead in Chapter 810.

I don't think he's a cheetah, he doesn't have the black lines that look like tear-stains on his face. He could be a jaguar; they have thick spots like the ones on Pedro's tail and the ones on their face are small dots like him too.

Epithet
Is "Poneglyph Thief" or "Poneglyph Thief of the Mink Tribe" an older epithet from his pirate days? Tamago speech bubble has it in quotation marks. Rhavkin (talk) 19:15, November 17, 2016 (UTC)

Viz translation doesn't have the quote marks, it just describes Pedro as a poneglyph thief. Kaido King of the Beasts (talk) 20:19, November 21, 2016 (UTC)

Japanese text only has Poneglyph in quotes. Dragonus Nesha (talk) 21:07, November 21, 2016 (UTC)

He's Dead. Or at least mark him as that until further notice.
We really should edit his status so that it is "Deceased." It's that for Vergo and Monet, who were caught in similar circumstances (though of course Monet was stabbed in the hear too). This past chapter has everyone grieving over him in rain and Jinbe giving a motivational speech. I'm pretty sure he's dead, and if not, we can just switch it back. But right now with so much evidence that he's dead, it looks silly, almost as silly as keeping him alive when there have been so many death flags this arc would be.

First of all, I think that we should wait for the arc to end, just like we are waiting to mark Jinbe as a Straw Hat. Then we can start the discussion about his status. Any way there is a general rule in fiction and manga especially, that until we see a dead body the character isn't dead. You can consider Igaram, Pell, Pagaya, and many others of example of "this character is dead because..." only to miraculously survive. Also we've seen in Pedro's battle against Tamago that he had dynamite strapped to his chest, and he survived the explosion when he entered the Mirro-World. To sum up, give it time. Rhavkin (talk) 04:33, September 23, 2017 (UTC)

I disagree. In the most notable instance of Sabo, we decided to leave him as dead until there was conclusive evidence to the contrary. We've seen no evidence that Pedro ISN'T dead, and plenty of talk that he is. With what we have at present Pedro is dead. We don't say "oh he might be alive let's leave it as unknown" because we haven't got any grounds for that in this instance.

With Sabo there was a datebook (can't remember which) confirming that he was dead. And again, the least we can do is wait until the arc is over, like we decided to with Jinbe as a Straw Hat and Sanji's family name. Rhavkin (talk) 11:54, September 23, 2017 (UTC)

There was a databook entry about Sabo much much later. And if you recall, we didn't wait on Sanji's family name. We changed it.

12:42, September 23, 2017 (UTC)

I said I didn't remember which databook, and I'm talking about the debate on whether to change it back to simply "Sanji". Maybe King Baum is a better example for "he's 99.99% dead..." only to be alive in the end. All I'm saying is that even if all signs points to "dead", this isn't the first time Oda has mislead us, nor is is it the first time the wiki community has postponed a status edit because of it. Let's wait for the end of the arc. Rhavkin (talk) 13:16, September 23, 2017 (UTC)

Play the waiting game. 16:44, September 23, 2017 (UTC)
