Jango one piece!
This One Piece Character Was Surely Inspired By Michael Jackson
One Piecefeatures a truly enormous cast of characters, and author Eiichiro Oda needs diverse sources of inspiration to design them all.
Longtime fans know that Oda often recreated famous pirates like Edward Teach and Anne Bonny, but he also borrowed designs from Japanese actors and even Jim Carrey movie characters. This real-life figure inspiration may include Jango, but One Piece fans aren't 100% sure.
Jango was introduced back in the "East Blue" saga during the "Syrup Village" story arc that pitted Luffy's small crew against the scheming Captain Kuro.
Jango was an amusing hypnotist who behaved a lot like the late Michael Jackson and even had the shoes to match, so fans are burning to know whether Jango really is a tribute to the King of Pop or if it's just a coincidence.
