Greg has a mission...but it's still a secret mission! Last week we had a call-in show for people trying to stump Greg and he didn't do all that well. It's amazing how much you can learn in a week.

On this episode of The One Piece Podcast we bring together two sides of a debate that has hit the heart of manga fans and enthusiasts for nearly a decade in a civil and informative discussion. For those who don't know us, we're The One Piece Podcast, and each week we break down the latest manga chapter and episode from Japan. We've also delved into the nuances of One Piece, announced new episodes for the United States, and reported live from One Piece events in Japan. This episode we have Molokidan, the translator from Mangastream's now-defunct One Piece translations. He has been a translator for scanlators as far back as 2005, and has also worked professionally in manga and other translation projects through today. We also have Stephen, the freelance translator for One Piece on VIZ Media's Weekly Shonen Jump Alpha. Stephen has been one of the most well-regarded translators for One Piece, garnering high acclaim from fans around the community. It was a huge pleasure speaking with both, and we hope to do this again in the near future. We also want to thank Mangastream for their support in publicizing this episode, and of course to VIZ Media for all their continued support in our work. Take a look at the podcast article concerning this discussion with editorials from Zach Logan (host and founder of the podcast) and Tsukento (former contributor for the podcast).
