Lesson Vocabulary & Phrases
魚人を
gyojin o
Mermaid
💬 魚人 [ぎょじん] (gyojin) means 'fish-man' and refers to a character type in 'One Piece'.
🇯🇵 Fish-men in 'One Piece' represent diverse races in Japanese storytelling, illustrating themes of discrimination and understanding.

Captured
💬 しとめた [しとめた] (shitameta) often means 'took down', highlighting actions of capturing or defeating.
See breakdown →え〜♪

💬 え〜 [え〜] (ee) is a casual interjection, often showing excitement or amusement in Japanese.
See breakdown →魚人を しとめたえ〜♪
gyojin o shitome ta ee
I shot it! I took down a fish-man!
💬 [魚人] means “fish-man.” [しとめた] comes from [仕留める], “to finish off / bring down,” often used dramatically in action scenes. The ending [え〜] is a quirky character speech style here, not standard everyday Japanese.
🇯🇵 This line shows Saint Charlos’s cruel, childish way of speaking. In [ワンピース], the Celestial Dragons often talk and act in exaggerated, disturbing ways to highlight their arrogance.
See breakdown →ハア〜
haa
Haa~
💬 ハア〜 [はア〜] (haa~) is often used to show exertion or dread, commonly followed by sighing sounds.
See breakdown →撃たれてよかったわ
uta re te yokatsu ta wa
Glad to be shot
💬 撃たれて [うたれて] (utarete) literally means 'to be shot', a strong word reflecting a dramatic event.
See breakdown →ハア〜 撃たれてよかったわ
haa uta re te yokatsu ta wa
Thank heavens someone shot him.
💬 [撃たれて] is the [て]-form passive of [撃つ], so literally “being shot.” [よかったわ] means “that was good,” with [わ] adding an emotional, often softer tone—though here it sounds cold and nasty.
🇯🇵 The shock of this line comes from how casually violence is treated. That contrast is a big reason this scene hits so hard for viewers.
See breakdown →近づいて
chikazui te
Approach
💬 近づいて [ちかづいて] (chikazu ite) is often used to express action of coming closer or nearing.
See breakdown →何か病気でも
nani ka byouki de mo
Some illness
💬 病気 [びょうき] (byouki) commonly means 'illness', indicating something potentially harmful.
🇯🇵 The line portrays typical prejudices, similar to xenophobic concerns in diverse societies.
