Talk:Episode 489

Delay
So why was this episode delayed a week? CorbeauKarasu 04:11, March 6, 2011 (UTC)

There was a marathon aired on the channel where one piece was supposed to be shown last week. Sucker, huh? My dad apperantly turned the TV on to watch one piece last week only to see people running with sweat! XD 05:13, March 6, 2011 (UTC)

FUNimation, the company that distributes One Piece in the US, also explained that they couldn't post the episode in their simulcast. They just said special programming but if it was a marathon that actually explains it better.

what about the delay in the manga then? a marathon really can't affect that, so why did the manga not come last thursday? (n sorry for undoing my comment and editing 3 times for nothin, but sorry i m a noob and takes time to get used to stuff) FkinAwesome 22:45, March 7, 2011 (UTC)

You know how the One Piece chapters first come out in a magazine called Shonen Jump? Well all manga magazines (Shonen Jump included) rotate on rests each week. Here's an example. IF Shounen Jump hand only Naruto, Bleach, and One Piece in it, it would be like:

week 1: One Piece, Bleach, no Naruto this week.

week 2: One Piece, No Bleach this week, Naruto.

week 3: No One Piece this week, Bleach, Naruto.

week 4: One Piece, Bleach, no Naruto this week.

--and so on. well that's why we don't have a new chapter every so often. I know, it sucks :( 22:56, March 7, 2011 (UTC)

Since when? If that was true then every one of those manga would have less chapters. SeaTerror 03:47, March 8, 2011 (UTC)

What do you mean since when? And yes, every manga has a rest once in a while. The difference may be because of the 4-week break for OP, or the page # difference, or the difference between when the first chapter came out. 03:50, March 8, 2011 (UTC)

They don't do it how you say they do it. If that was true then all 3 of those manga would never come out in the same week. SeaTerror 03:55, March 8, 2011 (UTC)

No, my example shows only 3 manga out of the whole book. there's like some 20 or more series in there, so it takes time to alternate. 16:36, March 10, 2011 (UTC)

I read somewhere that Oda actually missed the deadline for the chapter... otherwise on chapter 616 there would have been a note saying "no One Piece next week". If it's true, I guess nobody is perfect. leviathan_ 89  17:24, March 10, 2011 (UTC)

Oh really? If that's true, than so much for Oda.. and he had a ONE MONTH BREAK IN HAWAII just a while ago too! 17:30, March 10, 2011 (UTC)
