Chapter 194 - Cut Through Steel

Mr. 1: Sorry to ruin your enthusiasm, but...
	From the time I obtained these "Supa Supa" powers
	To this very day,
	I have never been hurt by a swordsman.
	NO SWORDSMAN CAN DEFEAT ME.

Zoro: Yeah.
	I get it.  Well, you better take those MEMORIES and lock 'em up in an album or something.
	I don't know what kind of swordsmen you've fought in the past...

 - Page 148 -

Zoro: BUT YOU AND I
	HAVE NEVER MET BEFORE.

Mr. 1: So only your mouth can cut.

Zoro: Thanks,
	Your Baldness.

Mr. 1: How many minutes?

Zoro: Will you take?

Mr. 1: "SPUR CLAW"

Zoro: "GARI"!!! (Tiger Hunt)
	(hahhh...)
	(hahhh...)

 - Page 155 -

Mr. 1: I told you already.

Zoro: I guess...  I'm a little shocked that I didn't leave a single scratch on you.
	This is the first time anyone's been able to stand after taking all of that.

Mr. 1: Well, naturally...
	Because you and I have never met before.

Zoro: Heh...!!!

 - Page 156 -

Mr. 1: YAAAAH!!!
	Hmph...

Zoro: I see!

Zoro: {He's a "Full-Body Blade Human".  He can make the edge on any side of his body...!!!}
	HRGH!!!

 - Page 158 -

Mr. 1: "SPARKLING DAISY"!!!

 - Page 159 -

Zoro: {Ggg... h...  he...!!!}

Mr. 1: BLAST-OFF...

Zoro: GWAAAH!!!

 - Page 160 -

Zoro: {I've trained harder than anyone else.  I've been in more life-threatening situations than I can count...!!
	What is there that I could possibly fail to stand up to...?!!}

<<Zoro: Sensei!!  Sensei!!!

<<Sensei: Hm?

<<Zoro: I heard there's guys out there who can cut steel...!!
	IS THAT TRUE?!!

<<Sensei: Yes, it's true...
	Watch this piece of paper carefully, Zoro...
	Hiyaaa!!!

<<Zoro: You suck, Sensei.

 - Page 161 -

<<Sensei: You see, there are swordsmen in this world that can cut NOTHING.
	But they can cut steel.
	With the same sword...
	The "Strongest Blade"...  has the power to protect what it wants to protect and cut what it wants to cut.
	I believe that a sword that harms whatever it touches...  cannot be called a "sword".
	Do you understand?

<<Zoro: Hey Sensei!!  I'm gonna be a swordsman who can cut anything!!

<<Sensei: Were you listening to me, Zoro?!

 - Page 162 -

Mr. 1: Well...?  Hurry up and hurt me already.
	You can't cut me if all you do is take punishment.

Zoro: Unfortunately for you, you won't be able to see my splendid form when I cut steel for the first time...

 - Page 163 -

Zoro: BECAUSE THE TIME I CUT STEEL...
	IS THE TIME YOU WILL DIE...!!!

Mr. 1: I see...

Zoro: HAAH!!!

Mr. 1: I'LL CUT IT ALL...!!!  INTO ATOMS!!!

Zoro: {So first of all...  comes "the sword that does not cut"...!!!}

SBS Corner

O: Ahem.  I've been receiving a ton of questions.  I'm just going to tell you everything I know about the anime, whether to answer those 
	questions or just because I want you to know.

1. First of all, what I MUST tell you is that I am a manga artist.  I don't create anime.  All that I do is character design for the anime
	original stories and the theatrical release movies.  Nothing serious.  Basically, the world of One Piece that I create in the manga
	is entrusted to others to follow in the anime.
2. I want you to remember this name.  THE UDA KOUNOSUKE.  This name is on the staff list every time the opening credits roll.  It says, 
	"Series Director".  That's basically "head director".  Pretty cool, eh?  "Head director". (do--n)
3. For the OP anime, Uda-san has 7 other directors that take turns making episodes.  Because you can't make a 30-minute episode every week.
	Every episode's director is listed at the end of the ending credits.  And the person who brings all of them together is, yes,
	THE UDA KOUNOSUKE (whistle)
4. If their opinions and mine do not meet, Luffy instantly ceases to be Luffy and the world becomes entirely different.  No matter how 
	hard I work to create the original story, if the anime's "directing" is wrong, it all becomes nothing.  But the reason that 
	doesn't happen,	and instead even more amazing things are created, is thanks to Uda-san and his Directing Fighters, for 
	understanding the world of OP so well and for "directing".
5. "Directing" is, of course, made possible by "music", "sound", "voice acting" and "art".  I truly thank all the people involved in the 
	anime in any way.  Oh, by the way, my very own Habu-yan does the "scenario checking".
6. So why am I telling you this?  Because I'd like you to really think about all the labor the people whose names you see on the staff 
	credits have to go through.
7. I know I made him sound very formal earlier, but Uda-san is really a very nice man.  Sometimes I go and party or eat something with 
	Uda-san and his producers (they're cool, too), but really, I just leave the anime work up to them and enjoy it as a viewer, just
	like all of you do.  I even cry sometimes.
8. And now, the SBS is over.  See you next time.
