DEAD END. I know, isn't that sick? Yeesh. This is one for the "Weird Occurances" lists.

**Galaxia** · 01-27-2003, 06:30 PM

Oh my....that's really sad....and ironic O_O; He will be missed

**Ajax** · 01-27-2003, 07:33 PM

Thats just so wrong. My God talk about your irony.

**Gruntling** · 01-27-2003, 07:38 PM

That's too bad...

Talk about coincidence, or what?

**Artemis** · 01-27-2003, 08:24 PM

That's irony in one of its most gruesome forms. O_O

**jeffrey 228** · 01-27-2003, 08:27 PM

That is very creepy to me, and I mean creepy.

**JetMaster5** · 01-27-2003, 09:06 PM

"Dead End"? Guess I'm gonna watch that movie now, since this movie will forever be known as "The movie announced by the last words of the editor of Shonen Jump".

He will be missed.

**Conekiller** · 01-27-2003, 09:38 PM

yikes, that sucks. That movie better rock then!

**StrangerAtaru** · 01-27-2003, 10:17 PM

Ewww.

Well of the two One Piece movies I have seen, the first two, plus the short "Jango's Dance Party", I have this feeling that the movie will still probably be good. (I liked the first movie, but the second one reminded me of the first Ranma movie. "Jango's Dance Party, though, rules)

**Amano Ginji** · 01-27-2003, 10:26 PM

That's sad.......
Guess I will have to see that movie.
*shudders*

**Epyon999** · 01-27-2003, 10:54 PM

What was the cause his sudden death?

**Weatherman** · 01-27-2003, 10:58 PM

Wow, that is sad. That must have been freaky for the audience.

F.Y.I., judging by the fact that it happened so suddenly, it could be either a heart attack, stroke or anyuerism.

That is indeed a shame... and ironic. c.c;;

How creepy and ironic... but at least I wasn't there to see it happen

Then it would've had a worse impact. Everyone should see this movie now.

It's not the first time something like this has happened. 19th-century American composer Louis Moreau Gottschalk passed away while playing a piano concert. He was playing one of his own compositions entitled "The Dying Poet".

Last time I saw somebody play the tune, after announcing this fact, a fly kept landing on the pianist's hands.

Moliere collapsed onstage during a performance of his last piece "The Hypochondriac". He was rushed to his home under medical care and died days later.

Whoa..... this bit of news was a little more than just odd and unfortunate:

I think there's a thread about this over in the anime board. 'tis quite sad to hear about it, though. I'd hate to fall over dead at what should be a happy moment.

**JohnCrichton** · 01-31-2003, 02:35 PM

No kidding.... something about this rings humours, but then again it's not at all. I mean.... what a time to frelling go. 0_o

Just like that....
