Hey hey people, Fun Fact of the Week here. Two weeks without a Fun Fact. I don't know how we survived fact withdrawals. Well the one from two weeks ago is still good, just a little dusty. Since we missed it due to phone-kun's illness, let's revisit that very important Fun Fact of the Week.

♪ It's the Fun Fact of the Week! ♫
D: This is a question from a Tokyo-area 28 year old male (working in the manga editor field). I would like to know the names of all the Super Spot-Billed Duck Troops members. Oda-sensei, I simply MUST know. T-they're so cute... I know this must be very hard for you, but please... do it for me.
O: Hey! Hey!! Hold on just a dang tootin' minute. I know who you are. You're that former One Piece editor with a weakness for cute things, working for a certain Jump editorial department, Da-asa or Asada or whatever, right?! You, sir, are relentless. And now you're sending business questions to the SBS via email?! This is supposed to be sacred ground for my readers... ah, well. Oh but, thanks for helping me out for those 4 years. In any case, since OTHER people have asked this too, I'll answer it. The bottom row, starting from the left, is Cowboy (cowboy hat and angular glasses. He always seems to be relaxed, no matter the situation), Bourbon Jr.(round sunglasses, a white hat, and a bottle around his neck), Karoo(You know the captain of the squad), Kentauros(smokes cigars, wears a dark Roman legionary's helmet, and always seems angry), and Hikoichi(conical Asian hat, who has a rather surprised look on his face). The top row is Stomp (reversed cap, and a very timid expression on his face. He is also very thin) and Ivan X (The largest of the Troops. He wears a horned helmet with brown goggles). That's all. I had the names all established, but putting them all in the manga would be too hard to figure out, so I decided not to.
And there you have it. All the Supersonic Ducks have names, and even have birthdays, ages, measurements, and blood types. All that extra stuff was revealed in the One Piece Visual Dictionary much later though, and assuredly isn't important. But when writing the story, Oda at least had names for the Duck Squad, and even went through the trouble to make each one look unique, something many other artists don't really bother to do for side character animals. It's pretty admirable I think.
But you know. We did miss a week. And it'd be a shame to miss the opportunity for this relevant Fun Fact since we just saw their fight with Sanji. Let's have one more Fun Fact! What do you say?

D: Wait, wait, wait. Bon Kurei! Yes, you. Listen, I don't like your travesty of the dance! You can't even do the most basic of basics, the port de bras! There are no hands shaped that way. And start off by tying your toe shoes correctly! You twist it around your ankle like this. Twist, see? And about 2 cm higher. And for your "Swan Arabesque", you're not raising your leg!! You're much too green to pull off any At-ti-tude Turns. Go back and study one more time! And shave your leg hair while you're at it! -by 10 Years of Ballet Experience-
O: Uhhh, I just called for him... Here he is.
Mr. 2: Stoooooooop joking aroooooooound!! 'roooooooound!! Shave?! My legs?! NOOOOOOO WAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY!!! If I shave my legs-!! I am nothing!!! Moi = Leg Hair, understand?! SO!! Are you shaving ME?! Would you shave MYSELF?!! And so what? 10 years of ballet...?! Well, aren't youuuuu special?! BUT!! I have had 20 years of Okama Kenpo!! Any problems?! If you do, then I'm gonna spin-?!! I'm spinning!! Spinning, spinning!! I am spinninnnnnng!!
O: ...There you have it. An idiot on stage.
And there you have it, an idiot on stage. I think that sums it up pretty well. Lets head into this week's episodes.

Im finally caught up.. My Favo Character is Zoro (due to his Samurai Fighting style), and he really is a cool guy_ I love Samurai movies and fighting style.. Hard for me to do though, (Im born with CP, so my balance is crap) but still love to imitate fighting styles.. Just like stand tall and doing the Ka-me-ha-me-ha like Goku or Master Roshi does...

Usopp has a lot to prove. He may be one of the weakest crewmember but he will always do the right thing.
Speaking of Openings, do you think It would be a good idea to do a compilation of the three first openings, for Youtube ? Some people would be interested seeing that.
Edit : Would you like a doc/sheet with all the infos (new openings, filler to skip, etc). Or do you prefer be remembered on the go in the comments ? I can set up one (everyone will be free to complete It).

Now all you have to do is keep avoiding the OP for 14 more episodes. YOU CAN DO IT
( i suggest a blindfold to help avoid temptation.)
