Talk:Pamu Pamu no Mi

Inorganic Objects
So this ability only works on inanimate objects, such as toys and etc, but not on a mere human. I see this power is way different from the one Mr. 5 had, and that explains why his hair was bulked up at the beginning of the Dressrosa Arc, when he was angry. --DrearyMausoleum (talk) 22:04, March 5, 2014 (UTC)

 * Actually it also works on living beings in the same way as the Bomu Bomu no Mi. It just takes more time until he swells up before exploding. It worked on the dwarfs. But this one is stronger because he does not only make himself explode like with the Bomu Bomu no Mi but can also make an inanimate object act like a grenade that explodes and throws shrapnel to the surroundings injuring everyone.

Oh, interesting and I read that too. So artillery like, though. --DrearyMausoleum (talk) 00:30, March 6, 2014 (UTC)

It works on the user? I think it's a mistranslation. Gladius makes his hat explode, but not himself. --Meganoide (talk) 15:10, July 17, 2014 (UTC)

Pamu Pamu
Does "Pamu Pamu" have any meaning, onomatopoeia or literal? 04:36, December 19, 2014 (UTC)

Onomatopoeia "pum", or panpan ぱんぱん (bursting). --Klobis (talk) 01:35, December 26, 2014 (UTC)

Thanks. 04:49, December 28, 2014 (UTC)

Punc?
Any particular reason Panku is being romanized as Punc instead of Punk? Far as I know, Punc isn't a real word (to be fair, though, this series also has words like Barriability), and it being the word Punk, as in the music style or character archetype, seems to be supported by one of the abilities being Panku Rokku Fesu, or Punk Rock Fest. Thoughts?--Xilinoc (talk) 01:14, January 18, 2015 (UTC)

Apparently it's short for puncture. 01:33, January 18, 2015 (UTC)

Except what does his power have to do with puncturing? Puncturing is the act of piercing something, which doesn't happen with any of his attacks except maybe for the one with his poisonous hair. I always saw all the uses of "Punk" as another steampunk reference, as in his power has to build up pressure first, like steam welling up, before the object bursts from that pressure. It always looked to me like Thunder Soldier was "deflating" after Gladius let go of him, and there was what looked like a trail of steam or smoke that blew him away from Gladius and into Luffy's hand.

Yeah, I've searched many dictionaries down and through and Punc only "Purdue University North Central" which I obviously doubt has anything to do. Punk has many other meanings such as Steampunk for example, fitting with his style. I agree with GrandDarkLord it should be changed back to Punk.

The japanese word for something deflating (like a tire blowout) is パンク [Panku], which, I believe, is short for punctured. 23:41, August 12, 2015 (UTC)

Difference btw Explosion and Rupture
The effects of the fruit is not explosion, it is rupture which refers to break and burst suddenly. In the manga, there is no visible explosion (fire, blast etc.) like Bomu Bomu. I dont know it is important, but i think definition can be changed.--Salamancc (talk) 00:26, January 22, 2015 (UTC)
