Wado Ichimonji
The Wado Ichimonji is a sword of great personal importance to Roronoa Zoro, and it was once Kuina’s and her family’s sword. It is also one of the 21 O Wazamono grade swords.

Shusui
(replaced the now destroyed Yubashiri)
Shusui is one of the 21 O Wazamono grade swords and was once wielded by the legendary samurai Ryuma. It is considered the national treasure of the Wano Country. After his death, the katana was buried with Ryuma, until his grave was robbed by Moriah’s crew. Ryuma appeared as a zombie on Thriller Bark, who had been given Brook’s shadow. After his defeat, Ryuma bequeathed the sword to Roronoa Zoro, and said he was satisfied with Zoro as the sword’s master.

Sandai Kitetsu
The Sandai Kitetsu is one of the Wazamono grade swords, a “Sharp Sword”. Like all of its predecessor Kitetsu swords, this one is said to be cursed.Also, prior to getting the Shusui, Zoro had another sword, Yubashiri, which was destroyed at Enies Lobby.

Yubashiri
(now destroyed and replaced by Shusui)
Yubashiri was one of the fifty Ryo Wazamono grade sword. Roronoa Zoro obtained this sword for free from a sword shop owner.

    Did you Know that Eiichiro Oda asked several famous Mangakas to draw Luffy and his crew in their own styles?

    From Akira Toriyama(Dr.Slump & DragonBall) to Takehiko Inoue(SlamDunk & Vagabond), Masashi Kishimoto(Naruto) and many others!!!  ^__^

      Donquixote Rosinante’s References

      Corazon’s mouth tattoo(or make-up) resembles the one sported by the Joker from DC Comics in The Dark Knight movies, which is also the alias of his brother.

      In the movie the Joker burned down a hospital while walking away, similar to Rosinante burning one of the hospitals he sent Law to, even though the Joker did it because of his madness and Rosinante did it because of his hate towards the doctors who didn’t want to treat Law.

      The tattoo under his right eye resembles that of Alex from the 1971 film A Clockwork Orange.

          Oda & Tim Burton

          As we know Eiichiro Oda is a huge fan of Tim Barton, now we can see how some Barton’s works have influenced three One Piece’s characters:

          -Brook is obviously Jack Skeletron (Jack Skellington), but there are also three famed musicians contributing to his look: Jimi Hendrix (Clothes+Fro) + Slash (Hat) + Ozzy Osbourne (Glasses).

          -Gekko Moriah is Oogie Boogie not only in appearance but for his hatred of Brook/Jack Skellington, his creepy little minions, and his powers with the help of Doctor Hogback.

                Excerpt from an interview:

                D: Oda-sensei, I have a question. If One Piece was set in the real world, which countries would the nine Straw Hats come from?

                Oda: Well. I’ll just put what fits with the character’s image.

                Luffy: Brazil
                Zoro: Japan
                Nami: Sweden
                Usopp: Africa

                  Can you spot the mistake in this One Piece drawing?

                  Noticed anything? I give you a clue: look at Usopp’s bike.

                  The last image, a drawing made by the designer Takumi, has the solution.

                  Now, have you spotted it ?  ^ ^

                    CURIOSITY con tutte le singole foto

                    The story does not involve epic battles but consists of short scenes in which the characters, usually one of each series in pairs, interact together. Even if the characters here have roles different from usual they remain anyway faithful to themselves.

                    In this manga Krillin and Chopper are conductors of a roller coaster

                    Bulma and Nami are thieves

                    Master Roshi and Sanji are police officers

                    Vegeta(here with Nico Robin, Trunks and Usopp) has horns and is the captain of a pirate crew

                    Piccolo is a swordsman as Zoro

                    At last, here is Buggy with Emperor Pilaf
