Michael Jackson refrences in OP - AnimeCrazy.net Forums

Anamayki · 06-26-2009, 03:15 AM

As most of the world knows by now, Micheal Jackson died today in LA at the age of 50. I think it would be fair to state the MJ was a HUGE star in Japan.
And with that type of fame, you can influence many....including Oda.

With that I think there are a few MJ ref's in OP by Oda. Just like spotting the Pandaman, the MJ (maybe even Dragonball) refs can be that way....

I think Jango (dancing)... and to me Brook (fro and scaredy cat) reminds me of MJ as the scarecrow in 'the Wiz'

Not to mention "Thriller Bark"... now I have only seen the anime so I can't speak for the manga....

So can anyone else think of any other MJ refs in OP?

Every time I see the "zombie dance..." got me laughing...

But I think Jango's clothes were "beat it/80s style".... or was is just the special...

i think oda has admitted that jango was influenced by mj
and the zombie song... cmon, it's obvious
other than that i don't think there's anything else, maybe brook's "45 degrees" is a reference

Anamayki · 06-26-2009, 01:35 PM

I still think Brook is too..

have you seen the wiz ??
