[ { "body": "\n\n_**SPOILER ALERT: Don't read if you aren't up to speed with current\nepisodes.**_\n\nI can think of two reasons.But before that i would like to mention few points:\n\n 1. One piece is greatly linked with Joyboy, D (the will of D) and of course Laugh Tale.\n 2. On Rogers journey he had instances where he was told someone(luffy) would come and change the world. He is the person Joyboy is waiting for. Or something like that.\n 3. After conquering the grand line there wasn't much time left for him (he was sick).\n 4. He and crew came to know about the void century. But again due to point 3 they couldn't do much about it. And at the time world government had too much power and control over people.\n\nAlso, Before I compare their journeys for you. Understand this:\n\n * One piece/Laugh tale (and other things like will of D/Joyboy/Void Century/Marines ) are the real deal and the goals of the Straw hat pirates and not retracing the path of Legendary Gol D Roger. Although they do want his title and treasure(We don't know what that is) and nothing else.\n\n> Record of the Void Century 800 years ago, in the Wano Country, a clan of\n> master stonemasons known as the Kozuki Family invented indestructible block\n> shaped steles for the purpose of recording important history on them while\n> preventing it from being destroyed. Those steles would become the\n> Poneglyphs.\n\n * Poneglyphs lead to a location. It's the path that either was created to stay hidden(from enemies and people) or to preserve something(op). It's obvious but i also say this because ODA said at current level Akainu can get to one piece in a year. But he doesn't because that's not what marines wan't or they may not like what they will get in the end. (by marines i mean the ones at the top).\n\n * Roger in ZOU said to Pedro \"My time is limited.Listen,Everyone has their own turn\". Most people misinterpret this as his message to Pedro. Noooooo, he just mentioned that it was his(Roger's) turn. Pedro figures out his role on his own in whole cake arc **and then** realizes what Roger meant. Roger isn't the kind who would tell anyone random what to do. Because he wouldn't like it himself being told what to do. Here, \na. The scene is after reaching Laugh tale (means he knew everything and\nacquired everything by the time) \nb. and after meeting Oda. \nc. He knew about Joyboy, his promise and that someone will come after 20\nyears. And change the world \n**So, What Roger meant was that,he needs to make sure that the man of\nprophecy** (he has learned about via different sources) **reaches the Laugh\ntale.**\n\n * Last point: Hence, When you see the bigger picture there are 3 characters to evaluate\n\n \n1\\. Joyboy: The mystery man we don't know much about. Who is the origin for\nmost of the mysteries in one piece. Was the one who created path to one piece\nwith help of wano kuri.And apparently Roger admires him, possibly so does\nluffy. \n2.Roger: Who traveled most of his life( **13 yrs +1 year** apparently before\nhis death) connecting pieces left by Joyboy. Known as pirate king (also\nthought to be his highest achievement). His, highest achievement is refining\nthe path of grandline and making sure the man of prophecy reaches Laugh tale. \n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/3X32k.jpg) \n3\\. Straw hat Monkey D Luffy: The main protagonist of the story that has been\nchanging the world since arc I. And probably will change the fate of the world\nwhen he finds one piece.\n\nNow, with considering all the data from above and concluding , Your answer:\n\n \n \n \nYes luffy and roger are travelling the same paths. And its because of one of\nthe 2 reasons.\n\n 1. After Roger conquered the grand line which took him 13+ years. Sailed again with Oden to provide a path to the man of prophecy (yours luffy) So, that he wouldn't have to invest as much time and effort as roger did. \nIn order to do this Roger traveled the grand line again in his last year\nalive. The only things mind blowing here is, Roger didn't knew which path\nluffy will take, so he travel the whole grand line that took him 13 years in 1\nyear. I mean he might know the path, and he probably wouldn't face much\nresistance like the first time but 13-1 ratio is still insane. (You might\nthink he could have just helped in one path that luffy has been taking , but\nthats not an option here. Roger wouldn't leave his life's work to luck. He\nwould rather die working). So, by this point Roger must have travelled Most of\nthe \"major\" kingdoms/islands twice.\n\n 2. We have been told that there are multiple paths that you can take on grand line. See fig below.[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/Cg2pA.jpg) \nIf you look at this clearly you'll see that there are points that are common\nwill travelling the grand line. Hence, if not any other island, Roger and\nluffy would have to travel these. So, sabaodi, fishman (and probably punk\nhazard) are a 100% possiblily. Roger went to wano and zou for/with oden Hence\nsimilarities there too. But there will be no explaination to Skypiea other\nthan luck by chance. \nUnless for example, lets say there are 4 paths to traverse grand line. One\nluffy took, one for law probably, one for kid , One for others skiping the\ndetails. Roger could have chosen 1/2 islands(so unique that only\nfew{deserving} can find the poneglyph) per route to say things like he said to\nluffy on the poneglyph in skypia. This would explain the one year too but\nstill some things would be left to luck.\n\nEdit: All in all, it was Rogers role to make it happen.\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2020-04-27T11:39:29.407", "id": "57387", "last_activity_date": "2020-04-27T11:54:10.940", "last_edit_date": "2020-06-17T09:17:53.303", "last_editor_user_id": "-1", "owner_user_id": "53014", "parent_id": "57180", "post_type": "answer", "score": 1 }, { "body": "\n\nSimple answer is **no** , he is isn't travelling the **exact** same path as\nLuffy.\n\nWe do know that Gol D.

Roger to get to Lodestar island. The\nyear he did reach it (39 years ago), is the year Shanks was born.\n\nAfter that it took him 13 years to finally find someone from Wano, Oden (26\nyears ago). So for 13 years he was just searching for someone who can:\n\n * read the Road Poneglyphs\n * knows where the last poneglyph was (Zou)\n\nAfter Oden joined Roger Pirates it took them less than a year to travel to:\n\n_Skypeia > Water 7 > Tequila Wolf > Sabaody Archipelago > Fish-man Island >\nWano > Zou > Some Harbour > Laugh Tale_ (Chapter 967).\n\nBefore reaching Laugh Tale, Roger did not know about:\n\n * Void Century\n * Meaning of the name D\n * Use for ancient weapons. But Roger wouldn't be able to use them as he was dying and Poseidon (the mermaid princess) wouldn't be born for another 10 years. \n\nAfter reaching Laugh Tale, Roger disbands his pirate crew and spends the last\nyear of his life with Portgas D.

He didn't encounter Kabuto again until Kabuto was reformed.\n\nWhile fighting, Itachi comes to sympathize with Kabuto, because of the\nsimilarity between their lives. They were both spies, with betrayal as their\nforte, erasing their identities and allegiances, hardly aware of who they\nreally were as a result. When Itachi traps Kabuto in the\n[Izanami](https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Izanami), **the battle is finished**.\nKabuto cannot escape the jutsu until he chooses the path of reformation.\nItachi also manages to get Kabuto to release the reanimation jutsu. **There is\nno need to kill Kabuto at this point** , and Itachi thus won't kill him.\n\n**Sasuke is following Itachi's lead**. Though for most of the series, Sasuke\nhates Itachi for killing their clan, his hate returns to love again once he\nlearns Itachi's reasons for destroying their clan (and after killing Itachi),\nand he seeks revenge on the Leaf Village for betraying Itachi, mainly out of\nhis love for Itachi. Thus, Sasuke is swept away by Itachi's return, even going\nso far as to switch sides and help Itachi defeat Kabuto. Sasuke is unlikely to\ndisregard Itachi's decison to leave Kabuto alive and thus doesn't finish the\njob even after Itachi disappears.\n\nFinally, Sasuke doesn't pursue killing Kabuto at any time afterwards because\n**the next time they meet, it is as allies**. During the war, when Sasuke is\ninjured, Kabuto shows up and heals him (see [section _Birth of the Ten-Tails'\nJinchūriki_ on Kabuto's wiki\narticle](https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Kabuto_Yakushi)). Kabuto chose to\naccept the path Itachi left for him, and thus is reformed and an ally. Sasuke\ndoes have good reason to trust Kabuto, because Itachi's Izanami left no other\noption but for him to become someone Sasuke can trust (aside from staying\ntrapped in a time loop forever), and Kabuto healing him is proof of this. At\nthis point, there is no reason for Sasuke to kill him.\n\n## Addendum\n\nAs these episodes have begun to air in the English version on Toonami in the\nUnited States, I've gleaned some additional information from rewatching them.\nParticularly, my statement that Sasuke's hatred turned to love may be a severe\noversimplification. After watching the episode where the battle begins, I can\nmore accurately explain why Sasuke decided to fight against Kabuto. This is\nonly peripherally relevant to the question, but I'll include it anyway, as I\nbelieve it will be of interest to readers.\n\nThe episode in question is _The Risks of the Reanimation Justsu_. When Itachi\nand Sasuke arrive, Kaubto seems to believe Sasuke will side with him, but\nSasuke makes this statement to Itachi, after Itachi blocks his shuriken:\n\n> \"He's just like Orochimaru, which makes him my enemy. Right now, he's your\n> enemy too, isn't he?\"\n\nThis simple statement explains why Sasuke is against Kabuto, but there is\nadditional information as to why Sasuke sides with Itachi. He says to Kabuto,\n\n> \"I only came here chasing after Itachi so that I could talk to him.\"\n\nSasuke and Itachi seem to reach an accord that Itachi will answer his\nquestions after the battle. The accord exists in Sasuke's mind, at least;\nItachi's responses seem a bit shifty. Sasuke seems to understand this, as he\nlater says,\n\n> \"Itachi, you always kept lying to me; saying things like 'Next time' and\n> 'Later', and then you died on me. So this time for sure; I'm going to hold\n> you to your promise.\"\n\n(Excuse the odd punctuation; I'm doing my best to capture the nuances of the\nstatement, but I only have so much grammatical knowledge).\n\nThis explains why Sasuke sides against Kabuto and why he sides with Itachi.\nThere is an additional quote in here that is directly related to the original\nquestion: After Sasuke asks Itachi why he stopped his shuriken (the first\nquote), Itachi gives Sasuke a direct order not to kill Kabuto:\n\n> \"I hear you, Sasuke. And we will talk later. First we need to take this one\n> down. But don't kill him. If you kill the caster of the Reanimation Jutsu,\n> it can never be undone.\"\n\nItachi further gives his battle plan to Sasuke, which Sasuke seems to non-\nverbally acknowledge.\n\n", "comment_count": 1, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2020-04-16T14:38:03.227", "id": "57292", "last_activity_date": "2021-03-22T20:39:09.380", "last_edit_date": "2021-03-22T20:39:09.380", "last_editor_user_id": "19307", "owner_user_id": "19307", "parent_id": "57285", "post_type": "answer", "score": 2 } ]

The ADV dub treated these in different ways\nin different scenes, which feels quite on-brand for the show - some of the\nlines were just dubbed with proper English, losing that part of the joke;\nother lines were switched into another language, like in Azumanga; one line is\ngiven a complete non-sequitur joke that actually refers back to the Japanese\nversion; and one section, where the joke in the original is that the English\ndoesn't even relate to the scene (and is mostly made up of clichéd sentences\nthat Japanese speakers might recognise, like \"Give me chocolate\") is left in\nits original form with the original voice actors.\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2020-05-15T00:00:15.113", "id": "57562", "last_activity_date": "2020-05-15T00:00:15.113", "last_edit_date": null, "last_editor_user_id": null, "owner_user_id": "8843", "parent_id": "57556", "post_type": "answer", "score": 5 }, { "body": "\n\nI know Assassination Classroom had an issue with this.\n\nIn the original Japanese the plot has the characters facing off against\nAmerican foreign exchange students in a sports festival game.
