There was a break before this chapter came out.... and whether it was expected or not, Oda also made two colourspreads for this chapter's issue ^^
I know many One Piece fans are elated about the upcoming One Piece Film Gold. I too, am one of those fans.
Please understand that as much as I want Zoro and Nami to stand together in manga, anime or anywhere else, it still means little to me compared to other things like hints or moments (if you read through this web, you probably realized it already). But what REALLY made me upset was the fact that Zoro and Nami stood next to each other in the early concepts; however, when the actual companies (is it a commercial? I don't know...) got hold of the sketch, voilá - something unexpected happens - they split Zoro and Nami and make them stand next to someone entirely different. THIS is why I feel salty. I don't feel salty because they aren't standing next to each other, I feel salty because the creators chose not to make them stand together in the final version of the posters. I know it's a small thing, but godammit, they were separated for a year already, of course I would feel upset when they could at least stand next to each other but someone just decided not to make them that way -.- Just look at it; this is one of the "posters" of Straw Hats in white outfit:
The original sketch from Oda looks like this... do you see that. DO YOU SEE THAT. Nami was supposed to stand next to Zoro, so why did they move her elsewhere?
But there is something that made me kindaa happy when I thought about it. If we take the colored and advertised version as canon and official, if that version of Nami is the same as the one in the sketch, then that means in the early and original concept, Nami's eyes darted in Zoro's direction ^^ but again, this is just plain speculation because as you can see, the original concept is blurry and not so clear :/
Here is the second official poster; the crewmembers have a bit different poses and clothes, yetttt the place where they stand remains the same. At least, the third poster shifted some of their positions so it is bit more refreshing ^^
By the way, this is the caption from the first teaser that ran officially. Zoro and Nami are standing next to each other here .. yeap, at least something...
But then just like with the posters, even here we can see that Zoro and Nami remained standing next to each other only in the early versions. In the second teaser (or is it even second? or they just changed the characters' position?), they are separated once again -.-
But then, I discovered the official trailer! This time, the crew is dressed in white - and surprisingly, Zoro and Nami are next to each other again...^^
So, what's there to say?
I honestly don't know why the posters came out the way they came out; I honestly don't know why they couldn't just do it like in the original sketch. But from looking around, I discovered the original sketch might be a part of calendar somewhere, soo we can have a closer look on whether Nami is looking in Zoro's direction or not ^^. As for the trailers/teasers, I am not upset about them or anything, because although they changed the second teaser, the first teaser at least did come out officially (I think?) somewhere. This became such a pointless ranting, wtf xD
Still not over this moment yet xD it’s anotheeer “I hope Oda is not giving me false hope again regarding ZoNami” time! I think I can make a serie out of this title....eh, whatever.
I am glad that after such a long time, Oda finally made these two interact some more and I hope that even if some people don’t ship them romantically, they can still enjoy these two’s interactions on friendship level and ... just hear me out ^^ So why is this moment so damn special? There are many reasons for that; first and foremost, it is not a very usual thing for Nami to do something like patting someone’s head (it’s often karate-chop from her side.... if you know what I mean), let alone for that to be Zoro’s head. It’s possible Nami had patted someone’s head before, but for her to do that to someone so strong, (over)confident and (let’s face it) often scary-looking like Zoro, now that is a feast to see. Zoro was, honestly said, kind of jealous when he heard Luffy praising Sanji. He wanted a praise or just to let the captain know, I am not sure whichever, that he is also worth a lot. Nami was near him at that time and realized how Zoro felt on the matter. Not only that, she tried to comfort or reassure him not just by words, but even by that gentle pat, too. (Even though she probably knew he was kind of childish with that statement... considering her sigh xD) Nami is probably one of the few people ever who did something out of trying to reassure/comfort the swordsman in a very calm and even gentle manner (and got away with it). I can’t recall anyone ever trying to do that to Zoro, it is often the other way around - for Zoro to tell others to calm down and trying to comfort them a little. Besides, it’s amazing they can act all casually like this, considering how Nami got angry at Zoro earlier for accusing Sanji or when Zoro got angry at Nami for being money-hungry. It just goes to show that despite all their differences and arguments, these two care for the other’s feelings deeply and know or are aware what probably goes inside the other’s head. After all, wasn’t Zoro also the first one to realize there was something wrong with Nami when she, Chopper and Brook reunited with the rest of the crew?
I just hope these two won’t separate this arc, because I feel like there can be a lot of funny or cute moments (like this one) awaiting these two...
And there you have it ^^ my view and little analysis on this moment. I probably should get going with the overviews, buuuuut... I am so lazy xD don't worry though, while I watch Pokemon BW, I also make gifs at the same time (it often takes a while for Photoshop to read all the layers, so....) for some movies ^^. So it's not like I am not doing anything for the blog. It's just the gifs take a long while -.- Also, I haven't edited the Pirate Alliance Saga page yet, I just threw in all those moments and analysis I did in this section, so... some texts probably don't make sense xD until the end of March, I will be sure to fix it ^^ (Read more for commenting)

Title: Capone Gang Bene
Release Date: app. January 15, 2016
Chapter 812 came out and the hype is ... just WOW.
This blog is mainly about the friendship between Zoro and Nami. Of course I would also like them to end up together, but if they won't, it ain't the end of my life or something. Besides, the "romantiship" might not fly, but the "friendship" will always live on and prevail. What I do in this blog is mainly specualte and state my opinions/theories that are based on what I see in the series. I always try not to state my opinions as some definite facts. Does it sound the same? There is in fact a huge difference. Let's see an example: A: Zoro is in love with Nami B: Zoro looks like he likes Nami/Zoro might like Nami Does it sound the same? The first one is a FACT, but the second one is a POSSIBILITY. And I am doing the B) version. I talk about possibilities most of the time, not stating my opinions as facts (like in A). It is just my opinions, which you can agree or disagree with. Never ever wanted I to force some feelings on a character and make him be like this or that..when it is just what I see. Other people might see something else, right? That is all there is to it. Also, even if I don't ship romantically other pairings, it doesn't mean like I automatically hate them or something. I also like the relationship between Nami with Luffy or Sanji, but all on friendship level only. Nothing more. Because there are some things about them that prevent me from shipping them beyond friends. Zeal aka Aohime Mizuki aka Kokaihime |
What can you findMostly things that are about ZoNa, Zoro, Nami, ZoNaCho (Zoro, Nami and Chopper) or my shitty non-interesting shipping life xD
OverviewsI sometimes write overviews of chapters. Please note that they will come out depending on my free time schedule, so no rush. I might even drop it if I won't manage to do it.
Also, they are less analysing than other stuff you guys might be used to. I want to relax and enjoy those moments, so there can be times when I only include a picture and one sentence to comment it. Please remember that I will only show things that I find important. If I won't show something, I will at least talk about it. And if I won't do either of those, then it means I didn't find the moment so significant. Archives
