33.000.000 not original bounty
In the bottom left pannel the bounty doesn't start with a 3, that is clearly a 2, no matter how you look at it, its either a mistake, Oda changing his mind or his original started with a 2, we should add this in the trivia with a reference. Until it is asked in teh SBS if Brook's bounty started with a 2 and Oda says he changed his mind or it was a mistake, we should take this as Brook having his bounty raised once.

It looks more like a 9 to me but ok. 16:12, October 1, 2011 (UTC)

no it's a 2. Strawhat1 16:29, October 1, 2011 (UTC)

I agree, that's most definetly a 2. Yountoryuu 16:33, October 1, 2011 (UTC)

Its a 2 but I think Oda made a mistake back there.. As in the newest chapter we saw Brook's bounty being 33,000,000.. HERE it is..

That doesn't necessarily mean it's Brook's first bounty. It only means it's the latest wanted poster. Who would keep an outdated wanted poster anyway? Neowitch

So it can be added...wait in what episode did Brook's backstory end? for the ref, since I know only the chapter

It's episode 380. But the bounty thing is only in the manga. Neowitch

Which is speculation. His bounty is 33,000,000 and it was most likely a mistake done by Oda. SeaTerror 18:53, October 1, 2011 (UTC)

It's still worth mentioning. Neowitch

Yeah, in the Trivia, its ok either way, still interesting

Nationality
Every where I look online (including here) it is said that Brook would be from Austria if One Piece was set in the real world. Yet according to the official translation of volume 56 (where the question is raised) it clearly says Australia. Is this a translation error on Viz Media's part or an error on a fan translation that everyone still uses?````

VIZ typo. Japanese says オーストリア (Ōsutoria), which is Austria. 16:27, September 17, 2014 (UTC)

Fun Trivia for Brook?
That Brook's ice-based powers and Skull Jokes are an allusion to dajare (駄洒落,だじゃれ), or the art of Japanese wordplay, especially in the fact that dad jokes, such as the ones made by the former, are usually met with reactions by less enthused audiences (or victims?), which the typical response is to shiver and comment on a sudden chill in the room by saying, “Samui…” meaning, “It’s cold…” AnonymousAnomani (talk) 14:11, March 18, 2020 (UTC)

I would like to contest SeaTerror's constant rollbacks since he cannot just deem speculation without ample proof. AnonymousAnomani (talk) 13:22, April 8, 2020 (UTC)

So, what I'm not really sure about is why ST has an issue with the mentioning of ice powers in the trivia. The ice powers are correlated with the response to shiver that's noted in the trivia. If the former is removed then there's no purpose in the latter being on the trivia. Plus I would add that this isn't confirmed to be an intentional allusion, but there are enough similarities to retain this on the page's trivia.

"Plus I would add that this isn't confirmed to be an intentional allusion," If that's your logic then removing the possible part of my edit is hypocritical of you. https://onepiece.fandom.com/wiki/Brook/Misc.?diff=1684794&oldid=1684792 SeaTerror (talk) 22:12, April 8, 2020 (UTC)

I changed it to say they "appear to be an allusion" which means the same thing. Do you have arguments against the trivia itself? Kaido King of the Beasts (talk) 22:40, April 8, 2020 (UTC)

No that is not the same thing at all. That is implying it is an actual allusion vs something just possibly being one. I already made the arguments against it in the edit summary. SeaTerror (talk) 23:22, April 8, 2020 (UTC)

This is an actual thing in terms of japanese pop culture. Here's a guide. AnonymousAnomani (talk) 13:59, April 9, 2020 (UTC)
