Yeah i think it is the same voice as Jiraya. :P The current Monblanc also has the same voice.

Of course they had to break up the action like this...but I love backstory, I have to admit it. Monblanc is awesome and definitely not what that book portrays.

Hmmm, I'm still confused how both the Shandrians and the native Skypieans have wings, even before appearing to have any contact between each other.

Also, wasn't expecting Norland to be such a badass.

Pretty sure Calgara has the same voice as the Third Hokage, which is somewhat fitting.

Shandian have wings when they are still on the Blue Sea? Weird.
Monbland is really not like what the book portray him as. In the book he is a pathetic coward that lie and make excuses even before he die. But the real him is totally different person O.O You really can't trust books and information.

hahahaha what's with you and Vivi???

I didn't expect a backstory and especially that one, but I liked it. It's great to found out that the real Norland was actually a badass. I was expecting him to be clever but petite and normal not strong and brave. Cool...

Nice! I love episodes like this that fill in some kind of backstory.

Also, it's cool to see more of Noland and also what Jaya was like back then.

Ah, it's no wonder Wyder is such a douchebag when these people have this red haired guy as their hero.

Also, Noland is a badass :o How dare they portray him as a fool in the book about him :(

Man, Noland was awesome in so many ways. To think that such a strong, good-hearted, and renowned explorer was the same person that was wrongly executed and made a fool out of for generations to come is a big shame. At least the truth lies with the Shandians who benefited from his efforts.

It's fascinating that the Shandians had wings way before they got launched up into the sky.

I'll go ahead and say that cultural relativism is a sham for the most part. If a culture condones barbaric practices, that's a bad thing no matter how deeply ingrained it is to their traditions. Way to go, Noland! You can do it!

Jheez, Shandian culture is disgusting. No wonder Wyper is a massive douche.

I’m pretty sure it’s already been suggested that the stories about Noland were all fabricated in order to make him look bad. So it wasn’t a surprise that he turned out to be completely different, and an amazing person at that. Hopefully he can drum some sense into those damn Shandians.

This back story is actually turning out to be a lot more interesting than I’d anticipated.
