Discussion Awesome Oda Foreshadowing/Recurring Phrases/Images, share!

[GiantAlienHamster]

I'm not sure if you can call this a foreshadowing or it is rather just a hint, but I've allways been thinking about the following "coincedence" since Caribou was introduced:

Bellamy: http://www.mangareader.net/103-2329-19/one-piece/chapter-222.html

Do Flamingo: http://www.mangareader.net/103-2631-17/one-piece/chapter-524.html (bottom right) or: http://www.mangareader.net/103-28714-8/one-piece/chapter-554.html (bottom left)

Caribou: http://www.mangareader.net/103-58051-8/one-piece/chapter-600.html

They are all sticking theit tongue out a lot (and look crazy as well). I know Oda cares a lot about such small details, so I think there's a good chance, that Caribou is one of Flamingo's subordinates.

This would lead me to a prediction:

Spoiler

Caribou will tell Do Flamingo about what he overheard here:http://www.mangareader.net/one-piece/650/3
Flamingo will show up later in Fishman Island to capture the princess. He might end up beating up Jimbei and killing Caribou for fun (cause he's too weak for the New World). Luffy will have to rescue the princess later, finally getting the chance to meet the last one of the 7S. whom he hasn't met so far.

Maybe this is just a reminder rather than foreshadowing but Zorro telling Luffy that he´s the nineth after reuniting at SA.
http://www.mangareader.net/103-58198-14/one-piece/chapter-601.html
Luffy said at the beginning it will be 10 so this could mean that there definitly will be (atleast) a tenth member.

Well here is something.... first sea kings that encountered strawhats...
http://www.mangareader.net/103-2208-8/one-piece/chapter-101.html

sea kings summoned by Shirahoshi
http://www.mangareader.net/one-piece/647/10


i can see latest 5 identical sea kings in the both pics.. what do you guys think

 

[Zehahaha]

Oda too lazy to redraw another Sea Kings maybe ?

 

[raDar]

I don't know but he's shown the exact same Sea King(s) not only once but many times. And he's not the type to draw the same thing just because he doesn't have anything more in his mind.

 

[Oni Giri]

there has been a lot of foreshadowings to the events led to the battle of marineford

[Sakazuki]

Kizaru real name is Borsalino. This name is the same of a brand of hats that we can look here:

http://www.borsalino.com/

In the chapter 623, there is Borsalino weraing a borsalino hat:

http://www.mangareader.net/one-piece/623/19

Amazing, not?

 

[Schabrak]

Sakazuki
Borsalino comes from the movie Truck Yarou[1978], where Kunie Tanaka, who's the inspiration for the characters looks, played a character named Borsalino. Akainu and Aokiji are inspired likewise with borrowed features of characters the certain actor played in some of his movies.

Oda's got to tease us with WB and BB somehow, otherwise the Marineford plot would have come out of nowhere.

I thought that it was just the physiognomy from the actor that inspired Borsalino, and the not the name Borsalino. Still, It’s funny to see Borsalino wearing a Borsalino.

 

[Zehahaha]

Damn that actor should be the Seiyuu of Akainu, just saying.

i guess you're right. still it's great that first hint was 400 chapters ago

 

[Marcus Beoulve]

There is a joke involving the real name of Blackbeard:

Historically, the pirate Blackbeard was a very fearsome as he is portrayed in One Piece by Oda. The pirate ship of Blackbeard was discovered in North Carolina in 1996, and possibly influenced Oda One Piece when he began in 1997, evidenced by statements that Oda was his favorite historical era pirate Blackbeard.

The name of Marshall D. Teach is partially removed from the name of the alleged real Blackbeard, Edward Teach. His former captain, Whitebeard, received the first Blackbeard's real name (making it as Edward Newgate). Even the name of his first known victim, a former commander of the Fourth Division of the Whitebeard Pirates - Thatch is actually one of the names commonly used for real-life pirate Blackbeard.

The real Blackbeard also surrendered in exchange for a pardon only to return to piracy, and a comparison can be drawn between this and Marshall D. Teach is to join him for the Shichibukai (whose rewards are withdrawn), only to turn his back to the group later.

ONE PIECE REFERENCES / INSPIRATIONS???

Oda is a genius!!!

he can make up pretty unique characters / storylines / powers and whatnots, but that also means he likes reading or watching TV to get so many ideas (aside from his very smart imagination) from things to use in One Piece right?

let's try to uncover Oda-Sensei's inspiration to create the world of One Piece...please share what you know or what you're theories are regarding this.

 

[hyper_megaman]

Re: ONE PIECE REFERENCES / INSPIRATIONS???

someone should list all the pirates he based the OP characters on

Whitebeard Edward Newgate and Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach
Based on Blackbeard Edward Teach

for an example

Re: ONE PIECE REFERENCES / INSPIRATIONS???

lets start with the strawhats:

MONKEY D. LUFFY

personality: obviously inspired from son gokou (dragon ball)
appearance: (can someone please help me find it T_T) there is a certain "strawhat" wearing bystander in dragon ball manga, i forgot where i can find it but its somewhere in the cell arc/saga.
if you think about it, thats how great oda's imagination is...pulling out a random character in his favorite series and turning it into his main character.

also from this guy: tom sawyer, the carefree and adventurous dude from american tales: http://www.proprofs.com/quiz-school/upload/yuiupload/1692788991.jpg

RORONOA ZORO

i guess its pretty obvious.....ryuma from one shot... http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/onepiece/images/c/cc/Living_Ryuuma.PNG

BURGLAR CAT NAMI:

bulma (dragon ball)....well maybe im reaching here...but i see similarities (in personality and some on apperances and both of their roles with the main antagonists : luffy and gokou)
http://dragonballz-episodes.otavo.tv/wp-content/uploads/061609_1730_BulmaDragon3.jpg

BLACK LEG SANJI:

http://images.wikia.com/snk/images/f/f7/King-kofXIII.jpg

now this is kinda a wild guess...LOL...one piece is released in 1997...the art of fighting (later merged with king of fighters) was released bck in 1992...plus:
1. king also uses almost exclusive "kick attacks"
2. though she is a girl
3. also dresses sanji-esque

if you ask me about sanji (and other bunch of one piece character's) fashion sense....i guess it came from the movie "reservoir dogs" by quentin tarantino
*the characters are color coded as well*
*and one character there is a chain smoker*

http://vizibly.se/files/wp/plugins/entire-reservoir-dogs-cast-e.g-i4.jpg

NICO ROBIN:

[hoeru]

Re: One Piece References / Inspirations???

About the names:

Edward "Blackbeard" Thatch (also Edward "Blackbeard" Teach) --> Marshall D. Teach (Blackbeard) / Thatch / Edward Newgate (Whitebeard)
Bartholomew el Portugues -> Portgas D. Ace (found this in the 10th treasure art book)
Bartholomew Roberts -> Bartholomew Kuma
Anne Bonny -> Jewelry Bonney
Sir Frances Drake -> X Drake
Francois de l'Ollonais -> Roronoa Zoro
Aesop + Uso (japanese for "lie") -> Usopp
Cape of Trafalgar -> Trafalgar Law
William Kid -> Eustass Kid
Alwida/Alwilda/Awilda -> Alvida

Women's names are usually either based on names flowers (All Kuja i.e.) or birds (Tashigi, Kuina, Robin i.e.) - either japanese or the scientific name

oh, im sorry...i havent had the time to check similar threads...please move this thread to the proper one if i made a mistake...i still wanted to add some inputs but it seems nobody is interested in this kind of thread eh? i thought its interesting to see where would oda (likely) get inspirations from.
