Hi guys!

So I designed this picture for a friend's idea below and I just wanted to be sure that all the Japanese phrases are correct and make sense(I did a lot of comparisons to the original lines in the mangas where they appeared but I just want to be sure )

@Hunters, it would be helpful to know what message you've intended before we tell you if it's correct.
 
Oh yeah of course,
So the right panel should be something like "nothing happened" (took the hiragana from One piece manga chapter 485, I believe it reads as nanimo nakatsuta )
The middle panel, should read "thank you zangetsu, you are me" (took the hiragana and kanji from bleach manga chapter 542, i believe it should read as arigato zangetsu, anataha oreda. The kanji itself I cross referenced it with what was in the manga and what I could find with google pictures of the the characters name in kanji and some kanji letter translator that I found so I could copy and paste it)
The left panel should read something like "I am walking a path that's incompatible with yours\different from yours"
(This one was the hardest as the hiragana were really hard to read because of their small size in the print, took them from Naruto chapter 181, some of the kanji in were "auto completed" by google translate when I put in the hiragana and the the ones in the middle I had to again, cross reference with what was in the manga and what I could find with google and some tinkering with online translators. Any way you can hear how the character says it in this video: time skip it to 2:11)

Thanks for the help
 
The right panel
Note that Japanese is a context-driven language. Indeed Zoro's words なにもなかった "Nani mo nakatta (Notice that it's actually not なかつた "nakatsuta". "Tsu" is a small one here.)" means "Nothing happened" because it's his answer to Sanji's question ここで何があった? "What did happen here?" in the manga. However it can also mean "There was nothing./Nothing existed." in other contexts. If the sentence is used with the picture, people who know the manga would understand the meaning correctly, though.

The middle panel
Correction
Arigatō Zangetsu. Anta (not anata) wa ore da.

Both anata and anta mean "you", but anata is more formal and respectful. It doesn't fit with the protagonist Ichigo's character and the relation between him and Zangetsu.

The left panel
Your translation is correct. The Japanese sentence is お前達とは相容れない道にいる "Omaetachi to wa aiirenai michi ni iru."

First of all , thank you so much this was really helpful and informative.
so overall, the kanji and hiragana are correct but my pronunciation was a bit off if I understood you correctly?
 
That's right. You got all the kanji and hiragana (and also English translations) correctly.(y)
