History[]
Egghead Arc[]
Joshu followed Edison to draw up plans for a new invention, as the scientist was struck with a sudden idea after watching the Straw Hat Pirates fight S-Shark.[1]
Translation and Dub Issues[]
Joshu is derived from the Japanese word 助手 (joshu?), which means "assistant."
In the VIZ version of Chapter 1065, a line was added in which Edison called Joshu "Assis-Tabby". In the Japanese version, Edison says "猫の手も 借りたい" (neko no te mo karitai?, lit. "to want to borrow even the paw of a cat"), an idiom referring to there not being enough time in the day. To explain this, VIZ treats Assis-Tabby as a title when Joshu is named, calling him "Josh the Assis-Tabby".
Anime and Manga Differences[]
In the anime, a similar series of events - Edison coming up with an idea, saying he would even accept a cat's help, and Joshu following him to help - plays out again, implying that Joshu frequently has to insert itself into Edison's spur-of-the-moment design processes.[3]
