Talk:X Drake

Design
Is it just me, or does his outfit kind of look like Duval's? - BattleFranky202 03:40, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

In the latest chapter we get a closeup of his face, and he looks kinda like the filler marine also named Drake. 118.128.15.129 09:53, 29 May 2008 (UTC)


 * We keep filler and canon seperate. One is written by Oda, the other not.  One-Winged Hawk 09:56, 29 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Actually, Oda wrote the script of the Navarone filler arc wher Drake appeared. We'll see weather or not they are the same person. El Chupacabra 13:48, 29 May 2008 (UTC)


 * I wouldn't keep your hopes high for it. The designs for Law and Gin are simulair but the two aren't the same as far as everyone knows... Anyway, we can't speculate until Oda says so or anything.  :-/  One-Winged Hawk 21:21, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Sword
Trying to guess the sword type...


 * 

Think its the type. One-Winged Hawk 08:35, 1 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes, that's the type. His other weapon resembles a medieval mace of sorts. Don't know if one like that exists though.Mugiwara Franky 16:18, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Someone needs to put a picture of Drake using his fruit in his Zoan form.

English letter???
WTF, I always thought they're roman...


 * What do you mean? The X perhaps? Also please sign with four tildes ( ~ ).Mugiwara Franky 16:32, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Article Image
Can we try to find a better picture of him? The one we have now isn't too good; he's looking at a side angle. The Pope 00:58, November 27, 2009 (UTC)

I think so too, but a front angle would hide his face because of the shape of his hat like this:



so yeah. JapaneseOPfan 19:12, February 12, 2011 (UTC)

Devil Fruit
What do you guys think his devil fruit should be called? I think it should be "Kyouryuu Kyouryuu no mi", Kyouryuu translated as dinosaur, so in english it could be "Dino Dino Fruit."--Lordxehanort 20:55, February 12, 2010 (UTC)

Personally, I think it's called "Kyoryu Kyoryu no Mi: Model Tyranosaurus". Every Devil Fruit has been two syilables in both cannon and non cannon alike and they must continue the pattern. I think it should be more specific than just dinosaur because there were more than one different species of dinosaur. However, I will be patient and wait until Oda-san confirms it otherwise in a future chapter and/ or SBS and accept it if my theory is wrong. (68.36.166.78 22:26, September 14, 2010 (UTC))

This is forum discussion. The Pope 21:59, February 12, 2010 (UTC)

hey give the guy a break. how was he supposed to know?

Because dozens of discussions of this manner come up on an almost constant basis. People need to realize this is not a forum. Also, you need to sign your posts with ~ when leaving messages on talk pages. Subrosian 00:02, September 15, 2010 (UTC)

Real Parallel
I just read on Wikipedia that the real Francis Drake was a vice admiral. Should that be put in trivia since X and Francis were close in rank to each other, X. Drake being a former rear admiral?DancePowderer 04:24, January 7, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah is think so Firefist553 19:22, February 12, 2011 (UTC)

Period
Period in his name is necessary. The X is shortened form of Diez. A initial has period after it. (cf Monkey "D." Luffy) --Klobis 15:03, May 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * To my mind, even if it's a shortened form, it does not mean it's an initial. The X is not the beginning of the word, it's a substitute for it. Roman numerals have no periods after them. I thus agree with JOPfan. sff9 (talk) 15:29, May 12, 2011 (UTC)

If you look at the English spelling of his name in chapter 595, you'll see there is no period. Also, I know it's supposed to mean diez, but where exactly did it say that? I'm not arguing I just can't remember where it was said. 17:00, May 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * JOPfan said it's written using furigana above the X in original material. Furigana are used to specify the pronunciation of kanji and foreign words for example. sff9 (talk) 17:10, May 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * Shakky calls him Diez when introducing the supernovas in the anime, it's X in the manga though. Panda 17:28, May 12, 2011 (UTC)

 * X Drake Romanization.jpg is the romanization. Notice the furigana ディエス (Diesu) above the X. sff9 (talk) 18:18, May 12, 2011 (UTC)
