    Holy... that seems almost too close to be a coincidence. Good find, chitose!
    And by the way, the sims 2 Snape in your singature looks almost identical to my Sims 2 Snape, only mine has this permanent and really mean scowl on his face.

    The first time I saw Kuro, I remembered Freddy Kruger and the claws resemblance. But recently, I was looking at some pics from Frank Miller's Sin City and then something else hit me. Kuro's look and MO are strikingly similar to those of Kevin, the cannibal killer. Sorry for the movie screenshots, I wasn't able to find any descent pics from the comic itself.

    The inspirations behind the names of the Franky Family's Yagara Bulls should be obvious (Sodom and Gommorah, after the Biblical cities where sin was prevalent [sodomy--the official name for buttsex--comes from here]).

    I want to know if anybody can figure out why they're named that.

    Well......the Franky Family is a group of gangster/mercanaries....so they're probably proud to name their badass yagarsa sin-names!

    The sanji in the story involves a bakery (aka cooking)and the spelling is exactly the same. Anyone think that Sanji is named after the character in this children's book?

    ^ Holy junk, that is way too similar to be just a coincidence.

    if i don't remember wrong, VOEL brought this up last time. i still think this is the best find.

    and i still vouch for jim carrey in ace ventura being the model of franky. only he didn't wear speedos.
    Holy crap, that is just too awesome!!! It just floors me how much they look alike! Down to the hairstyle and the goggles! Damn.... And now that I think about it, Franky does remind me of Ace Ventura... how funny X3

    Oda has good taste X3 Yeah, Sanji would fit right in that movie... And I never realized how much Robin resembled Mia Wallace... For some reason, I always thought she kinda looked like Monica Gellar off of Friends....sorta

    That is just scary! He really does look like Eminem! Even that lazy look he has sorta resembles him in a way...

    ... but he looks hot w/ sideburns X3 i guess its just part of his character design, maybe it just looked right ^^ Kohza has way bigger sideburns though...

    Um, I don't want to make this post too big, so I'll post the rest of my replies in a bit...

    Ah, so true... That's why I love One Piece, its so original, and stands out from other anime and manga series... Plus... pirates. rock.

    Mia = Robin, we all know that.



    Now this I recently thought of...

    Tim Roth as Mr.Orange from Resorvoir Dogs.

    Is Fullbodies inspiration visually? :huh:


    And heres an even more interesting one.



    Darryl Hannah as Elle Driver from Kill Bill.

    is......

    The thing is.....is that Hina came first....
    You think maybe Tarantino has indulged on a certain series involving this forum?
    Wow, its so crazy how much Nico Robin looks like Mia Wallace, and I love that comparison between Fullbody and Tim Roth... And I never thought about Kalifa resembling Daryl Hannah... that's pretty cool

    If Tarantino liked One Piece... that would be awesome. I believe he is into anime, no?

    Yeah, both groups are badasses, and the fact that they all wear black... that's interesting... plus, both groups are assassins X3

    ......*shudders* While I love both Zoro and Zorro, it gives me a weird feeling in my stomach when i see the two compared for likeness... but its to be expected... that is a funny comparison w/ those two pics though, i gotta admit...

    Apologies for bumping, but I went through some random girl's myspace, and found a magazine cover pic. They looked just like Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine. I put them together to compare



    I also found something interesting



    He came long after Carne did, but he kinda looks like him

    Hmm.... I don't see a resemblence between the Austin Powers characters and those OP characters.
