According to One Piece Podcast‘s very own Japan correspondent and resident One Piece “Mania” Greg Werner’s twitter account, the Japanese TV channel Fuji TV, will be broadcasting a special One Piece quiz-show with Greg as a help in the production process of the quiz.

On December 29 at 12 p.m. Japan Standard Time, Fuji TV will be broadcasting a special program called ヒーデルの公爵 (Hîderu no Kôshaku) localized as Duke Celent*. The broadcast is supposed to feature a One Piece quiz.

The official page of the show on the Fuji TV website describes the show as:

Cars, cameras, anime etc. In today’s day and age, people’s hobbies have become more and more specialized. We can’t get a full mark on school tests but,…. if it’s a test about our own hobby, we might! So, in that “World surrounding our hobby,” just how do we measure up? This program puts these “Dukes” in the show business who excel at their hobby to the test with 10 questions you “absolutely should know if you’re an aficionado.” All questions have three possible answers. If they get the answer right, the “Dukes“ can explain it in more detail themselves! Viewers at home will be surprised at the facts that’ll come at them one after the other!

Edit: It seems that Greg will not be on the show itself, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t watch it anyway because since he did mention it on the podcast, but he did “help in the production” process of the show it seems! Also, to avoid any confusion: this quiz show will NOT be like Hoko x Tate where editors are pitted up against mania! As Greg said: “Do NOT expect a new Hoko x Tate!”

Note: Literal translation is “Prince/Duke Hîderu” which is a pun using the Japanese word for “Proficient” as a name, so localized you could change it to “Duke Celent” for obvious reasons. (Pun provided by Pun Master and official One Piece translator Stephen Paul)
