The SBS page answers reader questions. One asks whether the cute, freckled, droopy-eyed mermaid from Mermaid Cove is Ishilly, an ishidai or striped beakfish mermaid, and whether the other Mermaid Cafe dancers are based on fish too. Oda confirms Ishilly and introduces the top five Mermaid Cafe dancers: Ishilly, Kairen, Hiramera, Seira, and Mero, with their fish inspirations. Another reader asks why "sun" is written as taiyou phonetically in katakana. Oda explains that he often chooses kana when a character would not naturally understand or use kanji, and that for fishpeople living far below the surface, the sun is not a familiar everyday thing. That is why "The Sun Pirates" has an intentionally awkward written form that Oda likes.
