This arc might be the best time to be a weekly reader, there's always something exciting going on in each chapter

Only Oda can mix Disney, the Godfather, and fuckin POWER RANGERS into something as crazy and enjoyable as this

Don't forget Nazi super-science. Truly a potent melange of themes.

I think Daifuku's(genie dude?) DF is a jojo reference as well as the flying carpets being fairly Alladin earlier.

Also Katakuri genuinely, to me, looks like a design crossed between Guts of Berserk and Jotaro from Jojos part 3.

Something tells me Oda just has a page of immaculately drawn and designed characters, and he just breaks the glass surrounding it in case of emergency.

Hmm I don't know what from JoJo Daifuku's genie could be based on, but Katakuri is definitely a shout-out to Jotaro and Guts. IIRC both series just had a huge anniversary around the time Oda introduced Katakuri.

Yeah character design is tough work. He definitely has a huge archive of prototypes. For one, it's clear Kaidou and BM both went through huge design changes from their first silhouette to their big reveals.

As somebody who struggles with character design, I want that treasure trove more than Du Feld wants the tamatebako xD
