I'll agree with you that the lack of Chopper is more important than Sanji's eye. However Robin's dress color should be just as important a complaint as the lack of Chopper. Of course I can't really imagine how Chopper would look in that picture no matter how I try.

I hate it when they change names for different regions. It's the main reason I don't buy many translated mangas. Even series I would love to own and collect.
Like what they did with Detective Conan. The lead characters are Kudo Shinichi and Mouri Ran. For the US release the names were changed to Jimmy Kudo and Rachael Moore. The infuriating thing is that they only changed the reappearing cast names, but they keep most of the suspects Japanese names. The reason I don't buy the US One Piece is because of edits like the one that shows Nami getting worked on by the doctor from her home village. In the original she's laying on the bed and topless as you see the scar. In the US publication they added a shirt. I could be mixed up about that detail. At least I think that was just in the US release. I just remember the anime having her topless. I don't see why the anime would make her topless if the original Japanese print wasn't like that. There is also just something about the lack of the use of 'nakama' in the US publication. In the Japanese version after Luffy defeated Arlong he screamed out, "Nami!!! You are my Nakama!!" The US version he screams out, "Nami!! You are one of us!!". Just doesn't have the same ring to it. It feels flat and lacks the right emotional punch. "Crew Mate" sounds rather lame and impersonal, "Partner" has the wrong idea, but it's close; and "Friend" just sounds plain generic. The term "nakama' just sums up all three of those to just he right level. The US publication is also a joke compared to other Shonen Jump series published here in the US. Naruto and Bleach volumes are well into the 30+ range, but One Piece Volume 20 is only coming out some time this month. That's not even near the end of the Alabasta arc. Naruto is already well into the time skip era. The best manga producer I've seen in the US is DELRAY publishing. They publish Negima! and they make VERY few changes. Just some minor things in the translations to help the jokes. They don't mess with the art at all. I've been so sad when I have seen some mangas I loved online are being published by Viz Media. Thankfully, FairyTail manga series in published by DELRAY.
