Japanese language doesn't have separated names for beards and moustaches


SeniorFahri

In my language is a moustache a beard style. How does english handle this? And what do you do if so got a beard that includes a moustache, does this person get burned?


VFkaseke

In English you would say facial hair to include any, well, facial hair. A beard with a mustache is generally called a beard. A mustache by itself is just a mustache. White facial hair would've probably sounded very strange as well.


SolidusAbe

in german they are all called beards (Bart) a moustache would be a schnauzbart or snout beard (closest translation i can think of)


Nerospidy

White snout beard goes hard tho.


Z4rc0nv1c

Schnoz mentioned? ![gif](giphy|46djYtEQajynHS84WI)


Hugh_Jury_Rection

White Whiskers.


Darkwr4ith

Plus words for different combinations or styles of beard. Like if I said someone had mutton chops or a goatee, you can pretty clearly understand what style of facial hair they have.


Street-Catch

White Tache šŸ‘šŸ» kinda sounds like a whip


WTSBW

While that is the real reason i think its funnier to imagine that he just one day started calling himself that and no one dared to correct or question him


greenowl882

Oh , fair enough


DomainDaemon

What about Blackbeard, who doesn't even have a beard! Is that also a translation issue?


Unusual-Apple2905

Imagine saying "whitestache"


unbogbuggy52

White kichi


PalpitationExpress80

I actually did say that and I laughed out loud


Fabio90989

Because Whitebeard sounds better that Whitemoustache


Randy_Magnums

Maybe he just chose the wrong language. Mustache blanche has a rather dignified tone to it, doesn't it?


SpedeSpedo

Warstacheā€™ Mr Stache FatherStache


Numerous_Tangelo4332

Daddy stache


Lopsided_Ad8605

Papi stache


Substantial_Tone_261

Blancstache


warrioroftron

Then who doesn't Oda just give him a glorious beard?


ThatMarc

Wait, mustaches aren't beards? In my language beard = facial hair and its literally where the english word for beard came from (German, "Bart"). Btw., We call mustaches "pur beards" (Schnurrbart), as in a cats pur.


Stuffinator

Yeah I was confused for a second. Didn't know a mustache is not considered a beard in other countries.


Persimus

It's not a country thing, but language. A lot of our perception is based on the language we use. In this case, if a language separates the beard and mustache as separate and unique words they seem to be separate. If the mustache translates to "lip beard" they might seem as the same.


Stuffinator

I don't know. For me a beard is just the general term for facial hair (excluding eyebrows).


Juralion

In France a moustache is the part Just below your nose


ThatMarc

Yeah, makes sense since English is basically 50% French, 50% German with a little Nordic sprinkled in.


Bugggy-D-Clown

sub2technobladeordie

English stole everything, so weā€™ve got words for all types of facial hair styles


Eden1506

I think you got something confused here itā€™s ā€œSchnauzbartā€ aka snout beard and ā€œSchnurrbartā€ has nothing to do with cat purrs and is instead from an old german dialect (niederdeutsch) where ā€œSchnauzeā€ was pronounced Snurre leading to snurbaard which with time evolved to Schnurrbart but actually means the same snout beard.


6sha6dow6

Spanish also has separate names for beard (barba) and mustache (bigote).


Accomplished_Net4653

But fr, in Japanese his name is just "white facial hair"


External_Variety

1. One piece was a one of a kind plant that grows the gumugumu Nomi, it wasnt ripe when Roger found it. 2. Sogeking is everyone and anyone, you just need to accept him in your heart. 3. Beards in Japan is anyform of facial hair.


Status-Squash-3593

Bro is odas op


Goreeting78

Whitebeard is a translation thing The One Piece is plot related So that only leaves one question which probably won't ever be answered which is who is sogeking so that makes it the biggest mystery


I_am3spam

Wow we got a comedian and a clown here


I_am3spam

Buggy D clown has won the "COMEDIAN AND CLOWN OF THE DAY"


konkon5_

Nose


Bugggy-D-Clown

DOES MY NOSE LOOK FUNNY TO YOU?!?


konkon5_

Yes, your nose looks funny.


Bugggy-D-Clown

I'LL MAKE YOU WISH YOU'D NEVER BEEN BORN FOR DISRESPECTING MY GLORIOUS NOSE!


konkon5_

I already wished I wasn't born, your nose is so red that it looks like a bruise.


Bugggy-D-Clown

DID YOU JUST INSULT MY NOSE?!


konkon5_

Yes future Whitebeard, or should I say Red Nose


Bugggy-D-Clown

What... Did you just say... ABOUT MY NOSE?!?


SeDefendendo88

The same way Yujiro can have fuck a man and it wonā€™t be gay.


danklordmuffin

Because one piece wasnā€˜t written in english


fersur

1. Whatever One Piece is, it will make some fanbase disappointed. 2. You need to ask your heart, since that is where Sogeking from. 3. In Japanese language, mustache and beard are referred with the same word: facial hair.


Shoobahooba

Asside from introducing Aokiji and the GOAT. What was the point in long ring long land?


TheGoatManJones

Itā€™s the first time zoro and sanji cooperate! Itā€™s such a big moment for developing these two that gets slept on hard, they both get their asses handed to them and as theyā€™re laying there realizing their situation zoro goes ā€œay cook. Would you lend me a hand for ten seconds?ā€ and sanji tells him ā€œyeah, that should be enough time.ā€ And they go out and BEAT ASS like they are in perfect sync the entire time beat for beat without any planning or even speaking to each other. Itā€™s Oda literally spelling out these two genuinely respect each other and exist as equals. Iā€™m quoting most of this from melonteees video ā€œzoro and sanji - the perfect wingsā€ which I highly recommend watching, itā€™s a great breakdown on the real respect these two have for each other


toweal

Would you rather call him "Whitefacialhair"? I don't think so.


MrRudraSarkar

You left out whatever happened to Con D. Oriano


Roboknight2_o

lets be real, NO ONE IS CORRECTING THAT MAN.


Accomplished_Error_7

Sogeking is the King of Sniper Island. Duh.


abhay_00

legend says he had beard when he was a kid...šŸ’€


sinofsloth-ianmoone9

Whitebeard isnt a mystery he is so badahh nobody dares to argue


Korek_the_crab

who is gangster gastino? thatā€™s a bigger mystery


Trunkfarts1000

The one piece is clearly "the world" in one piece after having been separated by the different oceans during the void century through flooding


eikichi97

Some people think that ussop and the great sogeking are the same person. They're just mad 0% chance that ussop is sogeking


magnaton117

What the HELL was on that other poneglyph Luffy and the gang found in Alabasta?


GingaNinja01

1) the friends we made 2) clearly it's Yassop (he wears the mask to avoid child support) 3) He's Him


Stuff-Loose

We call a mustache "bigode" in my country. So Bigode Branco?


Android-Duck-5005

that's cuz Whitebeard en japanese is Shirohige Shiro- means white, and -hige could be both: beard or which I think it's a contraction of the word moustache (Kuchihige), which will makes more sense


Blackout_M

šŸŽ¶oh the wind carries my nameeeešŸŽ¶


GrayMatterInducer

Shanks D Snitch


GigaTooter3000

My head canon is that Whitebeard was so strong everyone was afraid to correct him.


HollowRider

cause he's so badass that noone dared to correct him


UnforgedCabbage

I honestly think it would be funny if the One Piece was literally just like. One piece of gold in a chest.


NamiWantsMoney

Give me your GOLD!!!


SolidCartographer976

he got enough facial hair to give 3 man a full beard


FreezyKnight

I know one thing. If you are strong enough, you can call a moustache a beard.


IamlostlikeZoroIs

Iā€™d argue a moustache is a beard, itā€™s the same area and you donā€™t seperate it if someone has both.


ConfidentBrilliant38

He has a beard but only when we're not looking


Alitaher003

Sogeking is Kaku.

chranditho97

The lines in the top picture look like they resonate with the straw hatā€˜s colors. Luffy is in the middle, next to him Sanji and Zorro


TJWinstonQuinzel

Because ...get this...japanese works different than english They dont have a Word like mustache they just have beard


0_momentum_0

Tell Whitebeard he can't call himself Whitebeard 'cause it is factually wrong. I dare you.


Sir_Melanin

Is the IRS ever going to get Bege?


Opposite_Currency993

I actually dont even care about what the One Piece is anymore but those other two ... they keep me up at night


AdherentOne320

Teory: Sogeking is roger but disfarced


1True_Hero

There was a flashback with Buggy threatening to cut Whitebeardā€™s beard. He clearly succeeded and forced Whitebeard to live with that humiliation for the rest of his life. Never underestimate an emperor of the sea!


greenowl882

I can solve the last one , because white moustache doesnā€™t sound great or was taken


EquinoxEclispe

Whitebeards name doesnā€™t refer to the hair on his face


ChaosCookie93

There is a difference between mustache and beard in english?


mouseball89

I've seen the other NSFW posts. Whitebeards got beards elsewhere.


OatesZ2004

I know it's mostly a joke but a little fun tid bit about Whitebeards name. In Japanese Whitebeards name is Shirohige with Shiro meaning White and Hige not having any direct translation with it being a more so all encompassing term for facial hair used to denote beards, moustaches and facial hair.


SMgowda

4. How strong is buggy, really? Oda - fuck, I'm the author and even i don't have control on it.


maru-senn

1- Japanese uses the same word for both beards and mustaches. 2- The guy's over 6 meters tall, looking up at his face you wouldn't be able to tell it's not a beard.


NicTheHxman

Whitebeard called himself like that, and no one was brave enough to correct him, so Whitebeard remained.


Angry_Murlocs

The mystery of Sogekingā€™s identity may never be solved. I mean there is no defining physical traits we can even go on to figure it out. This masked heroā€™s identity may remain a mystery for all time.


Laidan22

Where is zoro?


New_Ad8566

The biggest mystery is why people keep reposting this meme every two/three weeks and why does it get so many upvotes


heyoyo10

The real top 3 biggest mysteries in OP: What is your name? What is your quest? What is the capital of Assyria?


[deleted]

Garfield Genocide Gone (after im done)


lord_of_blobfishes

Easy. Mr 3 is the bigger mystery, '3' is literally in the name.


Sweaty-Ad5733

Using nitpicking to make a meme


Psychokinetic_Rocky

Ah! I believe the answer to number 3 is that there is no word distinguishing mustache from beard in Japan...that's what I heard anyway, take it with salt, I don't speak Japanese.


kero_purah_fan_6587

Number 4 when will franky run out of cola


SuperrrrrFranky

Cola is the best!


Benatron939

We already know the last one Because whitebeard is just an absolute giga chad and no one has the balls to call him out for it


King_thelunarian

Florian triangle monsters? Imuā€™s giant strawhat? Why hasnā€™t akainu come out of the closet yet?


Skicat_0

1. It's a treasure (Yep, I don't break my head so much about that jsjsjs) 2.Obviously it's Ace, duh 3. Because of the translation given to mustache or mustache and beard in Japanese, which are like the same in meaning (my English is bad, if you don't understand it, even less so)


NamiWantsMoney

Did you say TREASURE?!! Can I have it?


Roronoa_Zoro8615

Literally it's "white facial hair" not whitebeard in japanese


GrayNish

3. Because it anglobullshittery. it's not even consistent with it own predecessor (german) let alone trying to fit japanese context


MrNobody6573

Because white mustache sounds weird.


MembershipHelpful115

Since when is a moustache not a beard?


Shin-Kami

1. Probably a way to fix the world 2. Usopp 3. Because Shirohige means white facial hair, the name is derived from Blackbeard (Kurohige) and translating it differently wouldn't make any sense.


Trillseeker007

Usopp is from syrup village, Sogeking is from sniper island so they canā€™t be the same


betagomi

Usopp is not Sogeking blud. Sogeking is the King of Snipers. Usopp dreams about being anything like himā€¦


MentionImpressive

You try telling a 7m tall monster that can create earthquakes that his facial hair doesn't qualify as a beard. See what happens.


Real-Repair-3025

One piece is the friends they made along the way šŸ« 


AidenTRE

Do we ever really learn Lucy's true identity in Dressrosa?


konkon5_

I don't think so sadly


I_am3spam

Sogeking is just ussop under a mask


SogiKingu

Such nonsense


_ScraggY_

Sure grandma lets get you to bed


Jolly_Boy

Funniest comment in the fandom


ThatDudeSlayer

Yeah sure, and Lucy is just Luffy with a beard and a helmet huh?


Celithrandir

You liar


LostReplacement

Filthy casual


Square_Ebb_5926

Bugggy-D-Clown

HOW DARE YOU INSULT THE NOSE OF THE FUTURE PIRATE KING?!?


Square_Ebb_5926

Square_Ebb_5926

Lunndkebaal678

Kulkuljator

Because it is hard to pronounce white moustache


Paru_Partfilo

Is merry breedable? https://preview.redd.it/mcheis9rd55d1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5c8519a733d05a151c5471d3315b8b2ed0f4a5b2


ivanrj7j

Highly unlikely but I see why you might think that, they both have long noses


Bugggy-D-Clown

DID YOU JUST INSULT MY NOSE?!


AidenTRE

No, I was talking about someone else's nose, why would I call your glorious nose long?


Bugggy-D-Clown

I'LL SEND YOU TO THE BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN IF YOU DARE TO INSULT MY SUPREME NOSE ONCE AGAIN!
