Even though we are up to date with anime and Onepiece manga, there are still some facts and information that we either don't notice or don't know in general. Among such, some facts come from question asked in "SBS" from either manga or anime to writer Echiro Oda. During these interview's he provides us with some unique facts we didn't know about either the anime characters or anime itself .
1. Nico Robins Birthday
Robin’s birthday is February 6th. This is an interesting fact because it was decided by a random fan. They posted in the SBS that Robin’s birthday is February 6th, just because Oda went along with the fan and that’s the way it’s been ever since!
2. The scene with Corazon and Law
In Corazon's back story where he was sent to the Hospitals Law was sent to was actually inspired by the 2008 film “The Dark Knight” starring Heath Ledger and Christian Bale. Such Movie inspiration and character inspiration is common in onepiece as we all know, but this one was special.
3. One Piece Strawhats in real life
According to Oda, if onepiece characters would be in real life then Luffy would be from Brazil, Zoro would be from Japan, Nami would be from Sweden.Usopp would be from Africa, Sanji would be from France, Chopper would be from Canada, Robin would be from Russia, Franky would be from America and Brook would be from Austria.
4. Jewelry Bonney's character
Many characters in one piece are named after real-life pirates. For example, Jewelry Bonney is named after Anne Bonny, one of the most famous female pirates of the 18th century and Bonnie was said to have had a near insatiable sexual appetite. Which arguably parallels Jewelry Bonney’s obsession with pizza and food in general. Just like bonney there are other characters that are based on real pirates as well such as drake, Blackbeard etc.
5. Half One piece completed with Chapter 597
At chapter 597, Eiichiro Oda stated that the first half of One Piece was done. So in about 1150-1200 chapters onepiece will come to an end.
6. Oda wants Robin's devil fruit in real life
If Oda could have any Devil Fruit power, he stated that he would have Robin’s power so he could draw quicker. In an interview with a Japanese magazine, he also stated that he got about 4 hours sleep every night. So,it would help his out if it were to be real.
7. Supposed to end in 5 years
One Piece was supposed to run for just five years but Oda allegedly enjoyed making it too much and continued. But since then he has changed the story line and plots many times. He has told us that 597 was half way to the end though.
8. Sanji's Name
Sanji’s name was supposed to be Naruto in a crazy instance of parallel thinking. Oda had planned to name Sanji Naruto but when he found out about Masashi Kishimoto’s upcoming manga, he changed the name. 'san' means 3 in japanese. Reiju 're' means 0, Ichiji 'ichi' means 1, Niji 'ni' means two, Sanji 'san' means 3 and Yonji 'yon' means 4.
9. Onepiece Holds Guiness Book of Worlds Record title
The Guinness Book of World Records recognized Oda for “most copies published for the same comic book series by a single author” in 2014. At the time of the recognition, One Piece had sold 320,866,000 units between December 1997 to December 2014.
10. Dragon Ball was inspiration for OnePiece
Oda was a big fan of author Akira Toriyama and his work including Dr. Slump and the hugely popular series Dragon Ball.Since debuting One Piece back in 1997, Oda became good friends with his idol Toriyama and even collaborated on projects together.
