Talk:Episode 495

First time?
Okay, maybe I'm not understanding this correctly. I tend to do that a lot. But can you please elaborate here?

The entry says "Luffy used his Gomu Gomu no Fusen for the first time, while in the manga he first used it to deflect one of Buggy's cannonballs in Orange Town. Ace and Sabo both bullied Luffy a little by kicking him around as if he were a ball."

When you say "the first time", do you mean first time plot-wise, or first time we ever do see him do it? If it's the first time plot-wise, and Luffy didn't do it in the chapter of the manga, then shouldn't the entry said "Luffy uses Gomu Gomu no Fusen for the first time, while in the manga he was not seen using it."? If he did do it in the manga, then why is the entry there at all? (I didn't read this chapter of the manga, by the way)

If you mean first time overall, then it's clearly false because we see him using the move MANY times before this arc was even written!

I just don't see why that Buggy detail needs to be there. Obviously this move wasn't seen the first time in the episode, and obviously he used the move in both the manga and the anime during the Buggy arc. The entry just seems to go at first with "Luffy used his Gomu Gomu no Fusen for the first time" as him using it plot-wise, but then "while in the manga he first used it to deflect one of Buggy's cannonballs in Orange Town", which seems like you're talking about him seen using the move overall.
