I am jesting suggesting that you were with-holding information on purpose.
I see. Well that's not the case. I simply didn't watch it since I don't really care for movies from Michael "Bully" Herbig.

I've never seen this series I don't believe, but I must! Also, that scene in the trailer was fun.
Sorry. I didn't know there was an Oda's Inspiration page. Wouldn't have started another if I had known but oh well. Here's the link for my inspiration notes. http://apforums.net/showthread.php?p=1472365
I'm 100% sure.

lol is that supposed to be Sadi-Chan?
@Huck:
I don’t know if this has been mentioned but Van Auger is a dead ringer for Adolphus from Baron Munchausen. He is pretty much an exact copy.
With his super site he is the marksmen on their ship and throughout their adventures.I haven’t found a direct picture from the movie yet, but here is the character designs for the movie, he is obviously the one all the way on the right.

There are several other parallels with the Adventures of Baron Munchausen and his crew, it seems like Oda must have been a fan.
I just watched Baron Munchhausen a couple days ago and I noticed the same thing.
weird movie.
is it me or ever since i saw Rodger Rabbit for over a couple of years ago and now saw it recently i have noticed similarities to Rodger and Jessica to Luffy and Hancock.
like for example Luffy is the naive and dumb hero and Hancock is the seductive and beautiful mistress that is in love with him?
For some reason I see Robin more as Jessica than I do Boa.
Rob Lucci = Broly
'nough said.
Alright. I've been a fan of one piece for almost six years now so i feel as if I know what I'm talking about. However, I am taking a class devoted to Hayao Miyazaki because I love the guys work even though I've only seen 4 or 5 of his films. That said, I just watched Castle in the Sky for the first time and could hardly contain myself from screaming and jumping up and down at what i saw! That movie is filled with themes and images in One Piece! Here's a few off the top of my head…
The movie starts on the tail of a pirate ship (airship)
The pirates are not as crooked as their title would otherwise dictate
The pirate captians hair reminds me of Buggy
Pazu's father was considered a liar for seeing Laputa
Pazu's picture of Laputa looks like the map of Jaya
The military act more like pirates then they do protectors
The army forces are being led by a secret division of the military
There is a scene with a train that has the number 7 painted on its side
The army outpost looks a lot like Captain Morgans base
Laputa parallels Skypeia
When Laputa is in orbit, the planet below looks like the planet in One Piece
There are large Cubes that are reminiscent of the Poneglyphs
Pazu ends up wearing a yellow hat, red vest, and blue pants
Pazu ends up running barefoot
Pazu climbs trees a lot and also scales up the sides of the ruins
Pazu gets shot and scarred under his left eye
Pazu is voiced by Mayumi Tanaka!!!!!!So my question is this. I'm 95% sure Oda was inspired by this Miyazaki film. Does anyone know for certain that Oda intended his universe to be modeled after Castle in the Sky?
Upon second viewing, I forgot to mention that Pazu gets his head stuck in a gap between two walls just like Luffy does in the water 7 arc.
Emporio healing/vigour hormones ?
Just so ppl know, Rei (the blackhaired one) was dying but he also has to fight someone, so Toki (the jesus like one) pressed some pressure points so he'd gain more lifespan for a short time. but Rei has to overcome the pain.
this french pirate Olivier Levasseur, nicknamed "La buse" (the buzzard), who was executed in 1730. Just before he died, he threw a piece of paper in the crowd, saying "here's my treasure for the one who'll understand!". On the paper was a cryptogram. Here's what it looked like:
Interesting uh? Maybe the inspiration for Gol D Roger and the Poneglyphs.
Just wanted to say: EPIC Find!
Anyway, that said, currently I'm pirating Castle in the sky to find out how good it is.
I had been thinking the Flying Fish Riders' base looked familiar, and now I remember what it was it made me think of.
I've never seen the film, but apparently there is an active slave trade in that world?
well oda has came up with am mix of litle stories.. if u think the giant jack the been stalk is from the fairy tale jack and the beans or somethink.. and in the storie the boy jack looked for gold but gold in the end was the reason that he got almost kiled from the giant tah lived up in the sky… remember the also the giant fogures that whoud show up every time that huge cloud apear ... it was a metafor of the story...also the flying fisman wha taken from that old movie..lbut its just that oda always mixt up fairy tales or movies in his world trying to propably show us that his story is also a part of the bed time stories he had read and propably all of us had heard..
look the similarity dont they look the same?
Ryuu, I think that Kizaru's appearance is based on the japanese actor Kuni Tanaka.
http://ueno.cool.ne.jp/gorou/gorou.jpg
Not sure how to embed pics yet.
SBS 57 confirmed that Kizaru is Kunie Tanaka from Truck Yarro, Aokiji is Yusaku Matsuda from Tantei Monogatari and Akainu is Bunta Sugawara from Jingi Naki Tatakai.
So STOP IT.
After all these years I recently checked out the series which basically inspired OP.
Wow. Right from the opening credits you can tell how it inspired Oda.
Anyway, did anyone know there was a live action movie released just last year in Germany O_o
Lv3pHtw_fT4
Ivotas! You holding out??
What series are we talking about ?
Bick (Wickle/Wickie/Vick/Vicky) the Viking, german-japanese cartoon from 70s.

From what I remember fisherman were not tolerated by humans. Kevin costner was one of them and imprisoned in the same cage as Hacchin !
Hacchin was a fishman as well.
The smokers were the equivalent of the flying fish riders. They were doing all sort of illegal stuff as well.
@Al!naJames:

Damn, I remember watching "Wickie und die starken Männer" (that's how it was called in Germany) back when I was younger… man I thought it was totally awesome. And when I bought the first One Piece volume in which Oda said that he wanted to tell a pirate story when he saw the same show I saw, I decided I had to love One Piece.
I lol'd when I saw the doodles Oda improvised.
That guy always went batshit.
Mmkay, so a while ago I posted somewhere on APforums how I thought the actor, Jason Momoa, would be an amazing Rob Lucci. If they (god-forbid) ever made a live-action OP movie. Please don't, movie studios. Please. Well, the one person they'd get right would be Lucci in terms of looks anyway, becauseee:
[hide]
Screenshots from the Johnson's Family Vacation movie. I didn't watch the whole thing, just skipped till I found the parts with Momoa so I could screenshot what he looked like. First part had him in a ponytail in a formal looking vest, second part had him let his hair down. Movie was boring, but seeing Momoa look like Lucci was very cool. Teehee.
The hairline would be pretty accurate, too. @_@

Lols.
Incredible O_o He IS Rob Lucci O.o But a OP live action movie (if someone ever try to make it) would be something very risky, that can Fuck for ever One piece or add to it's popularity. Just Don't movie producers…
Depends who got ahold of it.
I think its pretty safe to say it would be butchered tho.

Yeah, as long as is someone who actually knows the manga and the anime in it's extent.
(contrary example: The guy who directed DBZ evolution)
I'd imagine anyone who makes a movie should know it's source material. The people who sign up for projects simply cause of the pay check they're handed I think are stupid. I aspire to be a filmmaker, and while money would be nice and I certainly wouldn't want to turn it down, I'd make damn sure I know what it is I'm making. Rather it's reading the script over and over for something original, or in this case, volumes upon volumes of manga.
But don't think handing someone a camera who loves a series means the film will be good. If the OP series was adapted more or less page by page, as awesome as we find it, sorry… but it'd make a shit-tastic movie. Unique, but bad. When someone handles an adaption they need the perfect balance of knowing how to make a good film, and knowing the source material. Knowing when to change things, and when to keep them the same.
Sadly, there's not many like that in Hollywood. But that's getting better with each passing year, we are getting very good adaptions lately.
A OP live action would probably end up something like this:
Luffy is a normal kid, Sanji and UsoppRobinChopper (All blended into one char.) are his best friends. Luffy likes the sea and likes going to the docks a lot. Suddenly is beat up by Zoro but is saved from death by a crazy hobo called Shanks who gives him his hat for some reason.
Luffy then decides to become a pirate and fight Zoro who has kidnapped Nami (who is the new hot kid) after a fight mid-way through the film Zoro is revealed to be <insert villain's="" name="" here="">'s slave. And only did it cus he was confused.
And so Luffy beats the crap out of said Villain. And at the end everyone has their dreams fulfilled somehow.
The End.
Now. If they attempted a OP TV series then I would be a little more happy with it.</insert>

Really? Wouldn't it just be the horror that you described dragged out on who knows how many episodes, before finally ending somewhere in the middle of the story?
depends who got a-hold of it really I suppose.
Check this out: http://shayera.livejournal.com/90983.html
That is Cid from Final Fantasy 9.
Where have I seen this mustache ?
It is not Alabasta.
It is :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alabaster
You know that Arabasta was inspired from Oda's trip in Egypt don't you ?
I bet someone has brought this up before, hell it's probably a post somewhere in this thread already. But I just found out about this a few minutes ago and my brain is still reeling from the concept.

Whoooa that is just too awesome o__o
After looking more carefully, Marco's phoenix form was probably inspired by this.
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=4369
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=5901
I would still like to think it was inspired by Osamu Tezuka's The Phoenix especially when the dates are 1986-87. But hey I could wrong.
Marco in his phoenix form looks more like the mythological phoenix than that manga one. At least from the covers of that manga.
A blue phoenix is always awesome in my book
I'm going to guess that Marco's phoenix was inspired by phoenixes.
I know it's customary to assume it's one single unrelated source, while showing a stunning lack of worldly knowledge and instead a pop culture tunnel vision. But I'm pretty sure about this one.
With the recent awesomeness of Brook's Steppenwolf reference in Chapter 596, I wanted to recall all the music references in the series.
Chapter 572 is titled The Times They Are-a Changin' after the Bob Dylan song.
Thriller Bark has many references to (the late) Michael Jackson
This is debatable but the title of Chapter 39 (and Volume 5) is named after the Metallica song For Whom The Bell Tolls. However, that quote is best known as the title to a Hemingway novel.
What are some other music references you spotted?
- The very name of the ship (and story arc).
Can you explain this one to me?
NVM, misunderstood you.
I guess you could say ivankov, he/she is referencing the rocky horror picture show, they sing and dance in that alot.
Can you explain this one to me?
"Thriller" Bark? You know, the MJ song with the dancing zombies?
" Born to be wild" Bone to be wild. (Crap already mentioned)
@Superbear:
" Born to be wild" Bone to be wild.
Steppenwolf is the band that made that song, OP stated that reference.
"It's astounding how fast the time fleets" on the colorspread of chapter 595 is a reference to the some Time Warp from the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
"It's astounding how fast the time fleets" on the colorspread of chapter 595 is a reference to the some Time Warp from the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
And speaking of that.
Ivankov is heavily based off Dr. Frank N Furter from The Rocky Horror Picture Show (a musical)
And speaking of imitating celebrities.
The first time you see Jango, he's doing the Moonwalk like Michael Jackson.
Oda loves music so much, he puts references in his own manga.
Awesome. Oda really has good taste.
