Really good job man ! I'll sub cause you're making great content ^^ GG from France ! (I think a major part of your public in theses video are from france x) )
Thanks a lot mate! I appreciate the sub! I have a few more ideas for France-related videos so I hope you’ll enjoy those too (and you’re right about the audience, lots of French people have been watching which I’m so pleased about - it’s been great chatting to everyone in the comments about France’s relationship with manga/anime, I’ve learned a lot from you guys).
The intro of One Piece is inspired by the death of the pirate named Olivier Levasseur, nicknamed « La Buse ». Just before he was executed he literally throwed an incrypted written message to the crowd and said « my treasure to the one ho can find it »… the chase for the treasure is still on.
That’s so cool! What a badass way to go out. I’m reading about him now - his treasure was worth an estimated $1 billion in today’s money, that’s insane!
Gol.D. Roger last word where inspired by french pirate Olivier Levasseur "la buse" who throw a coded tablet to his treasure before being hang, it's still not found too
Fun fact: Lolonois is not even a real name, it's just his place of birth: Les Sables-d'Olonne, along the coast of Vendée in France. His name was spelled in various documents as François l'Olonnais, l'Olonnais, l'Olonnois, Lolonois, or even Lolona.
Yeah I spent a lot of time trying to decide which name to use in the video haha, there are so many variations! I decided on Lolonois because that’s the one that Oda knew him by, so that made the most sense for this video.
I never realised that! I mean the Trafalgar part is obvious but I didn’t notice the “water law” part being Waterloo, that’s pretty cool! Thanks for pointing that out!
It’s crazy right?! As soon as I discovered this I wanted to make a full video about it, the guy was brutal! “Lolonois” is pronounced “Lolonoa” or “Roronoa” in Japanese, so Oda used it for Zoro, so cool! He also revealed in the same Q&A that Axe-Hand Morgan was named after the British pirate Henry Morgan.
Jean Bart who joined Law on Sabaody is based on... Jean Bart, privateer in the north sea who originated from my hometown and is still celebrated to these days. His story is epic and could make a great video. Many french inspiration from Oda ❤
@@poeticalllarmy7855 Wow okay I didn’t know that, thanks for sharing! I’m reading about the guy now - he captured 386 ships, that’s crazy! Is it true that people still sing a song about him at the carnival every year?
@@ArchieTalksAnime Yes it's true, he's the central figure for our carnaval festivity (one of the craziest carnaval btw) we kneel in front of his statue to sing a song in his honour. It's an important tradition that brings around 8 thousand people in Dunkirk every year.
Haha well I’m glad you guys are interested in what I have to say about it! I’ve been blown away by how much France loves manga/anime since I moved here, so I’m genuinely interested in this topic, it’s fascinating! I wish the U.K. was more like this but we mainly got American stuff because of the language. Even the French shows that are inspired by the Club Do days are great - I love Miraculous Ladybug, I know it’s for kids but it’s fun and it helps me learn French 😂
fun fact, and that's not a joke, I am one of the descendant of François l'olonnais. If your french and your last name is Nau, or Naud or Naus, know this, you might be one of his descendant too.
@@ArchieTalksAnime yes you right that's his name ! But no he's not a well-known figure in France. The only reason why I know about him, it's because my Mother and grand-mother have retrace our family tree.
Wow I had no idea that Laffitte from One Piece was also named after a French pirate! I’m reading about the guy now, sounds like he also lived quite the crazy life!
Annnnnd subscribed! Great video! Man, barbary aside, what a life these dude had! That's adventure! As you know, there are tons of references to other pirates, if you have fun with it, I wouldn't mind the same format for each one of them! The relation between France and Spain was terrible at this time (I strongly suggest a viral video about an hilarious interaction between a French/ British crew, the game is sea of thieves, about this matter iirc) Have a nice day!
Thanks a lot I’m glad you enjoyed it, and thank for your the sub, I really appreciate it! Yeah it was such a crazy time, a real age of adventure! Of course they did terrible things but I love that pirates were setting up these island bases with different nationalities and governing themselves. I did enjoy making this one (I’m a bit of a history geek) so maybe I’ll do more videos like this down the line! And I’ll be sure to look for that video, I’ve never played Sea of Thieves - is it good?
Yeah it’s insane, especially the part with the cannibal tribe! Dude lived quite the life, going from servitude to the most feared pirate in the Caribbean! I’d respect him if he wasn’t a psychotic killer.
I had no idea ! Extremely interesting video. I'll show that to my son who's a true OP fan, i'll just have to translate him. Which leads me to a side question : I love your accent, what part of UK or Ireland are you from ? (I'm gonna guess maybe scotland or northern Ireland, but i might be totally wrong haha)
Thank you, I’m glad you liked it! This was so much fun to make, I’m fascinated by this time period. I hope your son enjoys it, one thing I love about France is that anime fandom spans different generations. You were close with Scotland! I’m English, but I’m from the north east of England. We’re about an hour and a half away from Scotland by car. We sound more like Scots compared to people from the south of England - I’ve been mistaken as Scottish while abroad a bunch of times.
"If the Strawhat's pirates would come from real countries Sanji would come from France" Well 90% of his moves are named in French after food and recepies so no wonder.
Very sympathetic video, nice job. Question : Do you know that there is what is called Franga (French manga) ? One of them was published in Japan, Radiant by Tony Valente. The japaneese anime studio "Studio Lerche" have made an anime on it for the japaneese chanel NHK. Do you know if something similar exists in other countries ? I'd be curious about that.
Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it! I know there’s been a few American comics that have been adapted into anime, like Witchblade and Cannon Busters. A couple of people have mentioned Radiant in the comments on my other video about France/manga, I had never heard of it before. That’s so cool that the cultural influence now goes both ways, it’s like a full circle moment! The story of Radiant sounds very interesting, I will definitely check it out when I get the chance. Is the anime adaptation worth watching?

The name of Trafalgar D. Water Law is a reference of the 2 famous Napoleon Bonaparte's battles (losted) of Trafalgar and Waterloo.
I never realised that! I mean the Trafalgar part is obvious but I didn’t notice the “water law” part being Waterloo, that’s pretty cool! Thanks for pointing that out!
OMG as French person I didn’t know Zoro was inspired as French pirate !!

whelp most pirate at that time where either french, english spanish with the occasional dutch

Bro as a french guy, milk those french views XD ! Im pretty much sure french are mostly the one watching foreigners react to french related topics !
I'm French and I agree

You are totally right
@@ArchieTalksAnimeyou have no idea how many adults watch Miraculous Ladybug 😂
I really think it's more than kids lol
fun fact, and that's not a joke, I am one of the descendant of François l'olonnais. If your french and your last name is Nau, or Naud or Naus, know this, you might be one of his descendant too.
Wow, for real? That’s wild! Yeah his real name was Jean-David Nau right? Is he a well-known figure in France?
@@ArchieTalksAnime yes you right that's his name ! But no he's not a well-known figure in France. The only reason why I know about him, it's because my Mother and grand-mother have retrace our family tree.
Fun fact : during the War of Independance, a french pirate fought with the US army against the English army. His name was Jean Lafitte
A character of One Piece is also called Laffitte.
Wow I had no idea that Laffitte from One Piece was also named after a French pirate! I’m reading about the guy now, sounds like he also lived quite the crazy life!
@@ArchieTalksAnime he's the probably the greatest one and was very influencial on the history of the young USA
Didn't know this, good job man :D.

@@ArchieTalksAnime I don't know, never tried,a little short on the content I guess, like the majority of the gendra.
Wowww Lolonois' story was a wild ride from start to finish 😅
Yeah it’s insane, especially the part with the cannibal tribe! Dude lived quite the life, going from servitude to the most feared pirate in the Caribbean! I’d respect him if he wasn’t a psychotic killer.
@@ArchieTalksAnimeYeah it makes him a bit harder to support 🙃
It's L'Olonais you uncunlutured swine. Stop butchering my beautiful language.
I had no idea ! Extremely interesting video. I'll show that to my son who's a true OP fan, i'll just have to translate him.
Which leads me to a side question : I love your accent, what part of UK or Ireland are you from ? (I'm gonna guess maybe scotland or northern Ireland, but i might be totally wrong haha)

Yeah totally, and also “Vinsmoke” is clearly a nod to the French word for wine - I never understood this until I started learning French!
@@ArchieTalksAnime For sure wine and smokes is as French as it gets.
don't forget the "blond and lady lover" feature, extremely french cliché in japanese manga ;)
And they say us french don't know how to have a good time...
😂😂
Isn’t it ironic that Zoro gots beef with a cook when Lolonois was cooked alive?
😂😂
the French and Japanese have good relation they Share their culture’s
Very sympathetic video, nice job.
Question : Do you know that there is what is called Franga (French manga) ?
