Stephen Paul ROLE: Very Special Guest and Translator of One Piece in Shonen Jump and MangaPlus, How’s it Going, Stephen? CREW SINCE 2010 | FIRST APPEARANCE: Episode 112 Stephen is a veteran professional translator who has worked on hit series like Akane-banashi, Show-ha Shoten, Saint Young Men, Vinland Saga, Durarara!!, Soul Eater, Yotsuba, and of course, One Piece. He has been responsible for the translations of VIZ’s One Piece manga since early 2012 and will probably never stop. On the podcast, he sheds light on little-known or otherwise unexplainable references behind the series, as well as in-depth background on translation choices. Don’t challenge him to wordplay unless you want a pun of bricks dropped on your head. When not podcasting you may also find him with his wife and cat Simba.
