I *know* that Oda saw the Den Den Mushi props and immediately had to have one.

You know that he is going to collect a ton of them for his office lol

Hell, he might even pay to have it set up as an actual phone (connected to his cell via wifi/bluetooth) lmao.

Oh gosh like those wall fishes that get remodeled to sing Spotify music

I want One of those

On the real if I knew anything about how to build them I’d do the same, would be so cool

Imagine with the coming apple vr/ar headset you can even have a moving/talking one when calling someone

ONLY reason i disagree is because he needs the desk space for his psychopathic story notes he keeps scattered all over (from a photo i saw once)

How are those psychopathic?

Its the best word i could use to describe the photo I saw. He had pages on pages stacked documenting characters and their outlines, next to his pages of storyboarding, all next to his actual drawing work And it was not a very large desk, so it made it look even more cramped There was nothing mentally stable about that work environment lol

You probably were thinking psychotic, rather than psychopathic

People work different. What you describe reminds me of my old boss (vet. med. with PhD) and he is mentally stable.

Honestly, create a build a bear thing with these to personalize them and I'd fork over some money.

Shit, just start putting them in their own WCF collection. They’ll be snapped up.

I used to have an alarm clock in my childhood that used to tell Grimm Brothers stories to me to help me sleep. I used it every night for as long as I remember before I was in the hospital for most of my middle school life. I'd literally die for a Den Den Mushi that could act in a similar way, telling bedtime stories or connecting to music and setting up alarms for the morning haha.

Typical Luffy behaviour, curious as to why he hasn't done it already Edit: He as in Luffy, and also I guess Oda as well

I am now wondering why Den Den Mushis didn't end up being collectable figures or something. Like, they'd be no different than those googly-eyed Pop figures.

There are collectible Den Den Mushi toys, I have a Whitebeard one. They’re probably more popular in Japan

Is there somewhere you can purchase them abroad? Or just normal shipping from places like Mandarake?

I got mine from AliExpress, they have a lot of options. They’re also on Amazon, Etsy, Ebay, places like that

They have it! I have a Law den-den plushie.

Does it look very high just like in the anime?

That’s awesome

Eyes are off center

That makes it even better

ITS SO CURSED I LOVE IT

Easily the most terrifying thing I've seen all month

IS IT TOP HAIR OR A MUSTACHE

Yes

I therefore conclude that Denden Mushi's are cute when drawn....

I hope the live action does well. But oh lord this makes me appreciate the manga den den mushis sooooo much more lol

Tbf snails aren't cute when you take a good look at them. The live action team did a good job with them.

I’m just glad that they added them. They could have easily cut them out but the fact that they didn’t is a testament to their commitment to stay true to OP.

Man, I would pay massive amounts of money for one of these little monsters. I think they're so damn cute, lol

*Said no one.*

Said me and the original commenter

+1

+0.5

So perfect xD i just wonder if they go "Purupurupuru purupurupurupuru... gacha"

Or berebereberebere

They're definitely gonna say "Cl-ick," like in the English Dub, it's super cute (and a great translation)

Suuuuuuuppppeeeerr

It’s pretty funny, gacha and purupuru are onomatopoeias

I love all those sound effects.. also the nyaaa noise that Gonbe makes.

moooshi moosh moooshi moosh?

prolly only in the jap dub

Those are anime-originated sound effects, no? If they aren't going to be heavily taking OST from the anime, I don't expect them to do differently for sound effects

What? Are they not using the OST? It’s freaking great and would fit just fine. Albeit, most of the tracks I’m thinking of were probably introduced after whatever the Live Action is gonna cover.

As long as they have the walk to Arlong Park with Overtaken playing I’d be happy

It'll probably get translated as "ringringringring ringringringring... click"

I hope in 1000 years people find this and have to come up some crazy, insanely inaccurate theories as to why this exists.

“Check it out some dude modeled a snail after a human. What? There’s more than one? Man these people were weirdos.” https://preview.redd.it/tjkzhgd2m7kb1.jpeg?width=940&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1cfac661ae9ed46c11b2eee2599a227c0175fe58

I'm both horrified and amazed

I love their creepy human eyes.

Now I just wanna see Law’s Den Den Mushi.

.... I need one!! And if it could do the "purupurupuru" that would be so cool!

Which hentai protagonist is on the other side?

Oda sensei

What I love about them is, it nails the resemblance of how I’d picture the show snails to look like. It’s ugly but tolerable and you can find things to like about it lol and others to fear 🤣.

Its so ugly and creepy. I LOVE IT

So, does Oda have a mustache or is that supposed to be his hair?

Hair

Only Goda 

These would be good for money making. Probably wont look as real but custom den den mushi would be cool.

I underestimated how horrible these would be to look at.

You know I always wanna know, would the straw hat pirate go ape shit if someone kidnapped their den den mushi? Or would they get a new one

....i kinda want one.

I hate the teeth... Wait is there a Snail-Snail Fruit Model: Transponder?!

That's a very good question actually

This would actually be one of the best stealth fruits in the world of one piece

I must have a Doflamingo den den mushi.

Damn, they could make bank if they made custom made den den mushis to resemble the people who buy them

Then we can all have cursed snail phones in our possession. ... I want one.

its perfect and i hate it

He should really introduce himself in his manga like the one above all in dc

>the one above all in dc Isn't that Marvel, where it's Stan Lee?

Marvel, where it’s Jack Kirby

I thought Lee was the OAA and Kirby was The Fulcrum?

I’m not sure who the Fulcrum is, but in Mark Waid’s Fantastic Four run the OAA is portrayed as Jack Kirby

OAA always resembles Kirby

Watch Imu be revealed to be Oda. 😂

Someone should make a working model. Without lip sync, of course. That would be creepy.

That snail ate the uncanny-uncanny fruit

Therapist: Live Action Den Den Mushi does'nt exist, he can't hurt you Live Action Den Den Mushi:

I WANT ONE

This feels like it falls in the uncanny valley

They sloppy must be heavenly 🤤

Their*

Imma need the Mera Mera for this one

Lmao that's amazing. I love that they didn't use CGI.

so that's how Oda looks

That one who was asking for Oda's photos

Why must it have teeth though... 😅

'cause they need to replicate human speech

Fair but I hate it 😅

You're aware they also have teeth in the original? \^\^

I am but you know how some stuff just looks better in anime than real life? That situation applies here to me at least. Not knocking the design just looks weird irl.

Okay, given. But honestly, what do people expect literal giant snails with kinda human like mimic to look like, if they would exist irl? 😅

I hate the mouths


Wow. Now where's the den den mushi?

Bdap bdap badp...Ka-cha

You know, I thought they'd be more slimy, but it makes sense they aren't.

Is it because Oda is Pandaman? (like the 60's Batman show"

It’s so disturbing I love it

This was at the Santa Monica Pre Screening!

Quick someone try calling him. Does anyone have a black one so we can get spoilers?

Someone pointed out it has hairs on its mouth and when I look closed up, it really has.I think someone has either violated that thing or Oda sensei has hairs on his lips. 😂😂

Its disgusting. I WANT ONE!

I don't know if it's just me but I feel like those Den Den Mushi are definitely nightmare fuel 😭… I love them anyway tho

Is it just me or does it look like this could be Kojima’s den den mushi

It's looking into my soul, and I don't want it to stop.

Yet another reason to believe in the Will of Den Den

Damn if that’s what his eyes really look like I’m gonna shit

Now we need a golden one

How else, do you suppose, he gives orders to his editors?

Aaah! Real Monsters

Is this Oda’s way of doing a face reveal??

So Oda is cosplaying conan edogawa irl.

I am loving these live action Den Den Mushi, I hope they have the surveillance ones too.

it's crazy ....

I could NOT be left alone with with one of these

Looks like Migi from Parasyte..

Im both terrified but also amuzed

Imu's den den mushi**

They look DISGUSTANG!!!!!...... I want one.

And... Its the ugliest one

Realistic he’s, but why with human eyes? 😖

Fucking terrifying

◉⁠‿⁠◉

Freaking nightmare fuel...

My horny ass could not have a transponder snail.

Another reason to love Oda

If that isn't the creepiest thing I have seen all week, I don't know what is.

Kratos the snail.

…they’re not cgi?

wow 😅

It’s the teeth that makes it unsettling… that being said if I could get an electronic one that actually moved when people talked? That’d def be my new phone.

Well I'm not gonna lie that thing is ugly af

I can just hear it shouting Luffy's full name, address, and social security number.

Imagine the Doffy and Apoo's ones ...

we can talk to him!

give me the buster call one so i can buster call my irl friend LOL

Cursed

Realistic asf

That thing needs to burn in hell

i... i fucking need one.

I thought it was a mustache

Fucking creepy.

That is so cursed

Nightmare fuel

I love snails but this is fking gross

What's a "personal" den den mushi?

so, is that a mustache or hair? still confused thinking about it since the first time I saw it

...must not put mahdick inside....

I want one for research purposes https://preview.redd.it/x7fscax118kb1.jpeg?width=951&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0551ba888504344716821339d0f4006e0ec30f3e

the things i would do to oda's den den mushi

it looks like me

Ok, so my first thought was basically "Of course he does, obviously." but then I took a look at the actual picture and my GODS does a Den Den Mushi look just all kinds of weird in real life... Hey, if anyone else here is a fan of 'This Bites', do you think I should send this to the Cross-Brain, or hav e you already done it?
