The third season of the One Piece anime series, The "Enter Chopper at the Winter Island" chapter, was produced by Toei Animation, and directed by Konosuke Uda based on Eiichiro Oda's manga by the same name. It was originally licensed for a heavily edited dub by 4Kids Entertainment. This editing included removing some of the episodes from the list. Later, Funimation acquired the licensed to release the season uncut and mostly unedited, as well as releasing an English subtitled version along with the redubbing. The third season deals with Luffy trying to get Chopper, a doctor, to join his crew after Nami falls sick.
The third season originally ran from August 26, 2001, through December 9, 2001, on Fuji TV and contained fifteen episodes. The season aired on August 27, 2005, though November 12, 2005, on the Fox Broadcasting Company and February 11, 2006, through February 18, 2006, on Cartoon Network, consisting of only twelve episodes.
Three pieces of theme music are utilized by the season's episodes: one opening theme and two ending themes. The opening theme is "Believe" by Folder5, and Meredith McCoy in Funimation's English version.. The ending themes are "Shouchi no Suke" (しょうちのすけ?, lit. That's a Fact!) by Shōjo Suitei until episode 81 and "Before Dawn" by Ai-Sachi (Leah Clark in Funimation's English version) for the remainder of the season. The 4Kids dub uses Russell Velasquez' "Pirate Rap V2" as opening for the whole season, except for episode 60, which uses his "Pirate Rap V3", and "Pirate Rap Instrumental" as ending theme.
Famous quotes containing the words list, piece and/or episodes:
“I am opposed to writing about the private lives of living authors and psychoanalyzing them while they are alive. Criticism is getting all mixed up with a combination of the Junior F.B.I.- men, discards from Freud and Jung and a sort of Columnist peep- hole and missing laundry list school.... Every young English professor sees gold in them dirty sheets now. Imagine what they can do with the soiled sheets of four legal beds by the same writer and you can see why their tongues are slavering.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
“The first man, who after enclosing a piece of ground, took it into his head to say, this is mine, and found people simple enough to believe him, was the real founder of civil society.”
—Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712–1778)
“Twenty or thirty years ago, in the army, we had a lot of obscure adventures, and years later we tell them at parties, and suddenly we realize that those two very difficult years of our lives have become lumped together into a few episodes that have lodged in our memory in a standardized form, and are always told in a standardized way, in the same words. But in fact that lump of memories has nothing whatsoever to do with our experience of those two years in the army and what it has made of us.”
—Václav Havel (b. 1936)
