If we're talking hypotheticals, it would be cool if a live live action cast would follow that old SBS nationalities answer (although Usopp could be more specific than 'Africa').

For the Gold Film should i watch the heart of gold special or just ignore it

I watched it like 1 hour before we went to see gold in theaters, sped up x2 lol i wanted to see it but forgot about it

But i think it was pretty good you should watch it beforehand. Movie is better if you have a little background knowledge through the special

Eh, it's best to take those with a grain of salt. Oda pretty much threw some darts at a map and just picked whatever they landed on.
I don't think he spent more than five minutes thinking about nationalities.

I always thought Usopp was from the Middle East than Africa.

For Nami, a ginger actress should fit well.

And Luffy Brazilian, looks bizarre.

HBO should adapt One Piece to TV series. It would be a great replacement for Game of Thrones.

My mind associates heavy machines with the Soviet Union so Franky would be Russian.

Carrot - Dutch

Franky is powered by Coca-Cola™, wears a Hawaiian shirt, debuted with an Ace Ventura style hairdo, Fires guns with reckless abandon, and has sunglasses.

He's pretty god damned american. Missing the cowboy hat, football helmet, Stars and stripes attire but he's up there.

Quoted for truth. Don't forget his favorite food being hamburgers!

Maybe it also works with vodka!

I know it's clearly American

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
Man, if anyone looked even close to anime characters in real life (without cartoony proportions), they'd be an instant celebrity.

Why are real people so ugly.

I love that color spread.

There's some people that have gotten facial surgery to look more like an anime character. It's more creepy than cute.

Bane? Get them on board, I'll call it in.

There's an episode of Ninja Sentai Kakuranger where a little girl has her face altered to look like a manga. It's exactly as freaky as it sounds.

I barely like it when people dye their hair a different color lol (An "out there" one, like pink or blue)
 
I dunno. Luffy's country could be a commentary on Brazil.

Brazil has the second highest Japanese population in the world after Japan.
So maybe there's something there. I dunno what it could be.

Maybe. But there's no way cigarette smoking, lady crazy chef Sanji isn't French.

Some are more obvious than others like Franky, Brook, Sanji and Zoro.
But that's really mostly surface-level stuff.

Oda's just picking locations based on their traits and appearances.

Oh by the way, Death Battle Natsu vs Ace happened.
Shock of shocks Natsu won. Gee, I wondered if the main protagonist that always gets bullshit power ups (which are overkill in a genre known for bullshit power ups) was going to lose to a supporting character that only showed up in a few arcs and ended up DEAD.

This really did feel like throwing a bone to the angry Erza fans.

I don't even know why you bring all this stuff up, when Natsu eats fire lol

It's better than Pudding stans and the millionth whiny argument about why Oda is an evil sexist that wants women back in the kitchen because "muh speed reading"

What?

Umm, your passive-aggressiveness aside, I wasn't saying "Why'd you post this at all", but rather I just found it funny that you're annoyed by Natsu winning when he's basically immune to fire. According to Bishop apparently he didn't get eaten (lol), but regardless, of course he wasn't gonna win lol

Ah yeah, happy birthday Luffy.
In real time he would be 37.

I wasn't annoyed he won, I called it back when it was announced.
I'm annoyed that this was clearly throwing a bone to the plebien Fairy Tail fans that got mad Erza lost to Zoro.
It happened when Batman lost to Spider-Man so they had him beat Captain America (even though Cap would still beat Bats)

Literally ever word of this is wrong, though (though stanning Pudding is a dying practice as of recent chapters)
