Ode to Oda

Shino: I think every One Piece fan should make something like this. It took me forever cuz I wanted to make a perfect square, but I couldn't so you get the same title twice. And now, an explanation of every picture because I really like to for some reason.


1. Came with the VERY FIRST monthly Shonen Jump magazine in the US. I had a subscription for like the first 2 or 3 years. I actually still have them all except like one I lost. (Crap, now I remember that I have a few OP cards that I haven't put up here! DX)

2. The OP data books RED and BLUE. I believe a YELLOW has come out, but I dunno if I'll get it yet... It doesn't have hiragana next to the kanji so I usually can't read much. :( Next is my Gangsta' Choppa'. I got him from my mom's friend in Japan. I kept trying to get a Chopper doll in one of those crane games in Japan and just ended up losing like 10 bucks (aka 1000 yen), so she just gave me one she had. And last is the WANTED! book. CLASSIC.

3. LUFFY'S ON MAH CAR. 8D My dad got me my car at 17 with the Luffy sticker. Now, 3 years later, he's still there, though a few little parts are missing and I'll probably have to remove him completely cuz he just won't look the same.

4. Aaa~ the One Piece Art Books, COLOR WALK. I think the third one finally came out. :D I think it's funny that Robin's on the cover for CW2, when she hasn't even joined the crew in the artwork of that book.

5. A tin box that used to be for some kind of candy/snack. I can't remember cuz I got it from my grandma in Japan years ago and already ate whatever was in it. XP The back had a chibi-version of the front artwork. So cute! XD

6. A Luffy necklace my dad got for me when he was in Ireland. Yeah, WHY he got me that there is hard to understand. That's a small problem with him. Actually to other people too. I think I've said this in a recent post, but just because I like an anime/manga/game doesn't mean you have to get me a bunch of junk of it. It's actually pretty embarrassing and I'm not that hardcore of a fan, OK? D:<

7. All my OP manga, 1 through 49. I just got the last 4 volumes 2 days ago, so I just added those on. Too bad some of their spines got bleached by the sun. :'(

8. I used to have my grandma in Japan (whom I shall call just Obaa-chan from now on cuz that's what my family calls her) record and send videos of Japanese shows. It was like tradition man! We used to get stuff since I was like 4 yrs old! We had all these videos of Power Rangers, Sailor Moon, Pokemon, etc., but I had to throw pretty much all of them away since we moved. And looking back now, I wish I hadn't. I could have kept them since I have room anyways! The only videos I kept were of Crayon Shin-chan and One Piece. But just like a year or 2 ago,the videos Obaa-chan sent were SUPER quiet so I just said she didn't have to record anything anymore. Besides, I can pretty much watch anything online now anyways. XD

9. I printed out Luffy's old wanted poster on some brown paper we had at home. Now I kinda want to print the whole crew's now... |D And that's me holding a little Sanji toy that came with another OP candy box. In Japan, they have a TON of these little toys/figures/models/stickers that come with some kind of candy, usually these little ramune flavored candy balls. And last is a postcard that came w/ the COLOR WALK 2 art book. |3 Like hell I'd ever use it! XDDDD
