Which usually if someone is the same religion they were born as (like they are what their parents are) they are not ashamed or afraid to say it, and it can be found and pointed too somewhere on the internet (a quote, a church membership, a group alliance, a donation to so-and-so, a specific holiday episode, some writings on the topic, etc.) In this ( ] (I know so official right? But I did actually find it insightful.) someone says 'Most classical researchers tend to agree that Oda's beliefs are akin to the agnostic satanism. his Wikipedia makes no mention in anyway of religion. So I decided to look up what his religion was out of curiosity. (Basically every crusade or holy war ever) (If you don't remember these episodes I really suggest them, they were my favorite episodes of all that didn't include Luffy and the gang in them) and during the Fishman Island arcs the bad guys are basically white fishman supremacist groups that claim to be on a mission from god to wipe out their enemies. And he bettered their lives for it and made actually a lot of good points. More importantly we get a very pro-secularization character from that arc, Noland in episodes 187-190, who teaches the Archaic Shandians about science and about skepticism. The closest to that we get is Zoro saying he basically doesn't give a fuck if he is god or not. Granted he got the title of god by kicking ass and taking names (well one name, that name being Kami) But no one ever contests that he IS indeed god. During the Skypia Arc it has the crew and the natives literally fighting a guy named God. But that doesn't really reflect back on Oda. So it seems every character has their own creed or belief set or whatever. And I have even heard people reason out that Usopp is young David from the Bible who defeats Goliath with his slingshot (further to that point there are two famous David statues from the renascence, one from the early renascence that depicts as small and with a girlish frame, the other from the late renascence that depicts as a mighty cut and sexualized warrior, so that could be pre time-skip Usopp and post time-skip Usopp) Though I think considering his nose and how much he lies a Pinocchio allegory would be a safer bet. YThere are also Franky's King Bulls named Sodom and Gomorrah which is of course a biblical reference. Nami.Nami kinda worships when it is convenient but her true god seems to be money. And we see both him and Chopper bust out crosses and dress like vampire hunters when they first see Brook and during the whole Thriller Bark saga. Kuma holds a Bible, Hawkeye is named after a Christian monster and his sword and dagger are crosses, Zoro actually states he is an atheist, Usopp appears to be very god fearing in that he prays to Enel who is referred to as Kami or god. He also runs a YouTube channel about Japan stuff called TheDoctorDazza, tweets at posts photos of his travels on Instagram.We see tons of references to pop culture and history references in One Piece but if you pay attention there are also religious references. While we await the One Piece ride to return in Weekly Shonen Jump on July 25, and on the Shonen Jump app the same day, catch up on over 1,000 episodes of the One Piece TV anime right here on Crunchyroll.ĭaryl Harding is a Japan Correspondent for Crunchyroll News.
