maybe, a bunch of one piece characters have people who their looks(and sometimes character) are based off of. Here are a couple some of these could be chalked up to coincidence but it is still pretty cool nevertheless.

I've seen this picture multiple times in the One Piece subreddit and I still can't believe that Enel is based on Eminem.
The most obvious one has to be Cruella de Vil.

Just let Devon have control over all dogs and my life will be complete.

Oda has stated that Eminem is one of his favourite artists, and when you look at Enel you can't really say that his design doesn't have some "Eminemish" traits...
Imo the killer-daft punk or george clooney- iceburg, for example, are much more farfetched in that pic. Along with few others.

Oda does love Eminem and there are a lot of similarities, especially with the looks and having a lightning fruit

The only one I might call as false resemblance would be whitebeard. While there is an argument for a resemblance. Something I had read on the wiki implied otherwise. (Copy pasted below.)
Quote: Oda explains in an extra pamphlet (that came with the initial copies of Databook Yellow in celebration of the series's 10th anniversary) titled "One Piece Paradise Vol. 2", that Whitebeard was directly modeled after the barkeep of the pub he used to frequent with his previous manager. This barkeeper passed away in 2007.
I guess it might have to do with how accurate the translation is for one thing. The other would be if directly modeled does not imply visually but only in terms of personality or something along those lines.
Regardless the image overall is pretty cool.

some are reaching,and i know for certain that whitebeard is not based of hulk hogan..some are real and already well known

Who is the Kizaru dude? The resemblance is striking, down to facial expressions.

Kunie Tanaka, a Japanese actor Kizaru is based on. Akainu is also a dead ringer for his actor, right down to having a Hiroshima accent.

Kunie Tanaka, he's the inspiration for Kizaru.

I would have killed to see Hody Jones just bust out Thriller vs Luffy.

I always thought that jango was the one who resembled MJ with all the "walking" backwards and the explanation about how the dancing business was slow

hahaha omg he looks like Fuji, i read somewhere that Oda was inspired from this movie
4
even the way he uses his sword is too similar

When you chase Zoro but he gets lost again and you both end up in another dimension.

One of my favorite samurai movies, I did also love the adaption of Rurouni Kenshin....need more samurai movies

At some point i was asking where the meteor is....

You get a Star for that one!

Does this mean Fuji went to Wano first?!

Sigh

Yes, this was confirmed by Oda

Fuji is based on Zatoichi.
yeah, That is Zatoichi in the clip. Movie is called zatoichi chikemuri kaido. Only one i've seen so far though there seems to be others
Thanks for sharing this clip! Cool to see the inspiration of one of my favorite OP characters. I'm going to watch the film now.
Yes there's about 18 different movies. I've seen a few once I knew it was Fuji inspiration. They are really good
This.
