I don't know how long that link has been broken, but it's not a reliable source anymore. Subrosian 18:41, October 13, 2009 (UTC)

Why is it cut off on OneManga? O.o I'm not going to continue calling out its credibility or anything, but you can only see "Black" on the Manga page on OneManga.com. Subrosian 04:35, October 30, 2009 (UTC)


 * The raw copy the scanlators used was probably cut off until that part. When scanning large pictures into computers, the edges sometimes get cut off. This is no big deal in most cases as the main majority of the picture is seem. In this case however, the cut unfortunately took out a vital detail.Mugiwara Franky 09:23, October 30, 2009 (UTC)


 * It's pretty common for manga to be a bit cropped at the top and bottom when it first runs in the magazine, then have the whole picture in the volumes. 121.50.43.189 10:19, November 15, 2009 (UTC)

Actually you can't even see what it really says. The first 3 letters are cut off. How do you know the first isn't a C instead of a G? Not to mention it's pure speculation with the second and third letters since they are almost fully cut off. Drunk Samurai 18:22, November 15, 2009 (UTC)

I think the bigger problem is there is no proof that his name is actually George as evidenced by the comment above this section. SeaTerror 04:17, April 28, 2011 (UTC)

What more proof do you need? It's in the picture. 04:28, April 28, 2011 (UTC)

No it isn't. You didn't even read the comment. "The first 3 letters are cut off. How do you know the first isn't a C instead of a G? Not to mention it's pure speculation with the second and third letters since they are almost fully cut off." Also the 4th letter could very well be a lowercase n and not a lowercase r and the rest just got cut off. SeaTerror 04:33, April 28, 2011 (UTC)

You are completely overthinking it. There's speculation with no real hard evidence, and then there's a conclusion based on logic. It looks like George. The three clear letters are rge. The third letter can't really be anything but an o and still make sense by appearance and spelling mechanics. So, we now have **orge Black. Work on faith here. 04:44, April 28, 2011 (UTC)

Spelling mechanics? I guess you have never seen any unusual spellings for fictional characters. Actually the only truly clear letter is the "e" If you look at the second "g" you will notice it could also be an a with the tail cut off even if a g is more likely. There is absolutely no evidence that the 3rd letter can be only an o. SeaTerror 05:03, April 28, 2011 (UTC)

Bumping this discussion. SeaTerror 16:52, May 26, 2011 (UTC)

Pushing it
Why is this even worth having an artical on? Ryuzakiforever 04:07, April 28, 2011 (UTC)

Because its a character in One Piece. SeaTerror 04:17, April 28, 2011 (UTC)

Guys, guys. We already have a discussion for this. I made this one to debate whether to even have the artical. I don't consider this a character. This is a name, no more. If the name ever appears again, go ahead and make an artical about it. If the name is given a face, definately, but until then, we might as well delete it. We don't have an artical on the guy who says "you suck" in episode one. Ryuzakiforever 21:47, April 28, 2011 (UTC)

It's a character. We did the same thing for Roche Tomson, as well as Devon, Shot, and Wolf before they were introduced officially. 22:06, April 28, 2011 (UTC)

I don't agree with Tomson either. They were just written names, not even mentioned. I don't see your point. Ryuzakiforever 23:23, April 28, 2011 (UTC)

Merge
There's pretty much no further information between George and Roche Tomson. Only thing Roche has different is that s/he has some extra trivia. Should we merge them? 03:09, May 13, 2013 (UTC)

No, because they didn't appear together. 03:13, May 13, 2013 (UTC)

Their only mention and history are identical. They never really "appeared" at all, but as far as we know, whenever the series talks about them, they were "together". 03:15, May 13, 2013 (UTC)

Or we just merge them both into the Impel Down article as named prisoners. 03:16, May 13, 2013 (UTC)
