@ghoulliver257 No idea, but if they are ever forced to fight(which is actually quite possible), they'll likely have a battle where each is trying to overpower the other's musical attacks with their own.
The result should be an awesome mix of classical and jazz music, with explosive soundwave strikes and other sound-based powers.
...Then again, this IS Eiichiro Oda we're talking about, and predicting him is like...
Well, it's like shooting luffy. You think you've done it the BAM! guess not
@zankai4the1ending hahahahahhaha completely agree and i LOVE the example at the end :D i really cant w8 for the manga to start again. 3 weeks without one piece have been torture and theres still 2 more to go. sure theres the anime but its just not the same :P
The whole Thriller Bark arc is an homage to the music video of the song "Thriller" by Michael Jackson from the album of the same name. Hence the hyperactive zombies.
Not the first by Oda since the character Django was moonwalking when first introduced from way back.
@ronaraullo Actually, it isn't the only homage Oda makes. There are elements from A Nightmare Before Christmas, Universal Pictures Monsters, and many, many other zombie and mosters movies. Hence the resemblance to things people knows...
If you read TV Tropes like I did, you would have learned that not only is there not a single pirate with an eyepatch, but Oda is saving it for someone special.
As it is, this is hardly a straight forward pirate series with the Devil Fruits, martial arts powers, clowns, amazons and cyborgs.
But yeah this is a BLAM moment straight up, I would have prefered it if they made the Thriller similarities clearer... :/ Or reused this idea somehow...
Huh? Undead of all sorts of have battled (or been) pirates in comics and cartoons for generations, it's a classic combination. One Piece is full of monsters and weirdos anyway.
I think that phrase is overused. It doesn't really feel out of place. They build to it for a whole episode with the zombies carrying the disco ball, it marks the start of the zombies going into battle, and Japan looooves singing zombies. MJ's Thriller is still huge there, so when you see zombies in an even vaguely humorous anime, they're probably going to dance.
so far in one-piece there's been Anime Michael Jackson (Jango), synchronized zombie dancing, Benny hill (British i know), and probably several hundred that i haven't seen or cant remember
and Ive also heard (NOTE: keyword here is "HEARD", this could be complete horse-crock) that Franky was based off of Jim Carrey, but that seems unlikely
total homage to thriller. I always wondered how they would do this part after reading the manga. I love how the anime elaborates on the songs from the manga (they often only last a couple panels and are very vauge) like Sogeking's theme. I can't wait to see what Binks Sake sounds like being played!!
naw, they mostly just eat people and moan. still bad-ass though. But i don't think i've ever seen a cartoon, anime, or television show that entertains me and makes me laugh as consistency as One piece does, if it wasent for the frequent flash backs and long introductions.. i would probably watch the series like all the time. The next dragonball? pshhh... Luffy and co. set the bar even higher!
