I'm sure you didn't mean that as a serious comment, but people mixing up solar system, galaxy, and universe is a bit of a pet peeve of mine.

Regardless of the solar-system thing, math is pretty much a universal concept. Once you've established if you're working in base 10 or 60 or whatever, you're in the clear.

Actually, there is a completely different numbers system, not just based on different bases, a classmate of mine tried to explain it, none of us got it.

2. In what world is Ahim more dangerous than Luka? Her bounty is 1 million more than Luka's. Maybe there's the royalty factor? Maybe they have to offer a little more because somebody else is looking for her. Dunno.

3. Joe's bounty is 000,000,000 Zagins? Must have been a typo.
1. It's not the sports section, that's the whole paper. It's a cultural thing that makes no real sense. If you want to read gossip, you pick up the sports paper. So think of it like a trashy newspaper covering Michael Jackson's death, if the Prince of Pop died in a giant robot trying to take over an alien planet. Also, if we respected official romanizations, OOO would have Rion, Tora and Cheetar (or Cheater) Medals.

2. I don't think they're going for the One Piece "bounty = power levels" concept, so I think you're right.

3. Definitely an 8 there.

I actually already knew about Japan's smaller topical newspapers (from a Case Closed manga that I read, which dealt with one), I was just using the more familiar term "sports section" for the sake of brevity. I didn't want to have to explain myself to people who weren't familiar with them.

The way they do it makes more sense, if you ask me. I don't subscribe to any newspapers, so when I read them, I have to pay for them off the rack, and it's usually only to read a few sections. It'd be nice to only have to pay for the ones I use. I don't see that ever happening here though, because whether they lean left or right, newspaper editors always feel the need to force their political beliefs and spin on current events onto everyone. Focusing on just one or two topics would severely limit their ability to do this, especially if that topic was a decidedly non-political one, like sports or community events.


I didn't know about the gossip bit of it though, that's pretty weird. I gotta wonder how it even started... it'd be like using Seventeen to talk about Medicare issues concerning senior citizens. :lol:

So to sum up...math, science, history, unraveling the mystery, it all started with Warzolemew James Gilliam The Impact Flon Flugel.

Nice to see Kenta and i looks like he's found a soul mate in Gai. Also looks like Digi-Ken hasn't changed much except for some updated computers.
