Oda's INSPIRATION for One Piece

[PandaJinpen]

I wasn't really pointing out any resemblence. I just noticed lots of Austin Powers references in them. Do you ever recall in the manga when the Strawhats arrived at Whiskey Peak, the two jumped off the ship, saying "bye bye baby". They both like to stick their pinky fingers like Dr. Evil.

[CaptainAWB1]

Hmmm.... I don't recall that. And I don't see any resemblence between what Mr. 9 is doing with his pinky what Dr. Evil does with his.

[Zephos]

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

I think its pretty obvious<_< .......with Mr.9 especially.

[CaptainAWB1]

Yeah, I see the pinky. It's just that many people extend their pinky when doing some things. And Mr. 9's pinky isn't in his lips.

[Ao Kiji]

Great find PandaJinpen! It's them exactly! O_O
Ararara...

[teioh]

Mr.9 dress like Austin and extend his pinky like Mr.Evil do.

[Keroro]

Luffy reminds me of this japanese drama I saw somewhere....

I read through this every once and awhile and while some pics have a passing resemblance and are merely cute observations, the last one I saw that was UNQUESTIONABLY a source image was that Paulie image.

BUT

Whoever, found that Johnny Depp with the top hat and flowing hair, EXCELLENT FIND!! What movie or show was that??

[Herackles]

Wario=Wapol

they're both the greediest money loving wierdos ever

You mean Benny & Joon?

I'd say it was from Don Juan DeMarco.

Mmm...

I dunno.... Wapol isn't really a miser either. He's just a spoiled brat really...

[Audity]

Another Eminem inspiration, for Zoro? Yay.

[CatMonster]

hm, i think eneru looks more like eminem than zoro does... though in that pic (which is one of my FAVE zoro pics *drool*) i can see the resemblance...

[Blues]

Mr. 2 = Jerry Lewis. Just think of his Nutty Profesor voice or Profesor Fink, wich was based on his character. And The Rock and Shinto Priest Ohm.

[Keroro]

Jerry Lewis looks kind of like the Mr.2 but not the one in the ballerina dress. He's not as crazy

[Greg]

I'd say it was from Don Juan DeMarco.

Somehow I dun think so. Perhaps there was another JD pic in the thread you may have confused it with.

[PandaJinpen]

Doublefinger seems to share many traits of Sonic the Hedgehog. She has blue hair, green eyes, uses spikes as attacks, and is very quick.

[Kaleidoskop]

An old friend of mine has send me thie picture:


Spandam? Is that you? Waht did you do to your hairs?

[The Daz]

I have a thought at Spandams inspiration too, after watching the last panel of this page (I don't have photoshop):

The first thing I thought of after seeing that grin, was this Guy:


Their Personalities have a lot in common too...cowardice, physically weak, depends on underlings, brilliant minds, Gloating, extreme goofiness. Spandams a lot more sinister Though...
