Dressrosa being Spain and having the Colosseum is kind of fitting. Rome's best Emperor, Trajan, was born in Spain. His epithet was the Optimus Princeps... Literally "Best Ruler".. and each emperor was coronated with the blessing of, "May he be luckier than Augustus, and better than Trajan". So every emperor after him had to live up to that
The Ales Colosseum in France is not to far from the Spanish border. Oda may have started with Spain as the baseline and took some stuff from the surrounding region for flavor. That, and it would look cool.
Check out Plaça monumental or Plaça de les Arenes in Barcelona. We are an anti bullfighting city but we still keep bullfighting plaza. Given that most of the architecture in Dressrossa is based in Gaudi's art, I would consider other monuments in Barcelona. For instance we've got a statue of Columbus, and we meet orlombus there.
Or maybe it's just another instance of Japanese pop culture mixing up European countries. If I had a nickel for every time anime mashed up Spain and France...
I'm from Mexico and i laughed more than i should have when i saw king tacos. Fun fact: Tacos said " it's better diying standing than living kneeld" (or something like that) wich is a frase that is usually atributed to "Emiliano Zapata" who was a general during Mexico's Revolution in 1910 sorry if my writing its a litte off, i'm still getting used to writing in english

(United States of America) India People's Republic of China Egypt Mali Spain Rome Canada Romania Mexico Morocco Philippines Netherlands Bangladesh Brazil Peru Chile Argentina Bolivia Zimbabwe Mozambique Republic of Congo Democratic Republic of Congo South Africa Botswana Japan Australia Solomon Islands Fiji New Zealand Tekking also mentioned Africa as a whole and Oceania.

Another great pun by Oda, Shishano apart of referencing el dia de los muertos probably also directly means Chicano, another term to refer to Mexican people
@@SuperPRguru In a fair world all countries would have a say in international disputes. Given our world super powers I thought 20 is actually kinda generous xD Glad it ain't less.
@DeidaraSanji Kaftan means a long dress, but Moroccan kaftan means the ling dress made by Moroccan style. It has nothing to do with Turkisj or persian Kaftan, and that the reason why even turkish themselves call it Moroccan Kaftan. Morocco is one of the oldest Kingdoms of the world that why honey Oda put it there. Have a nice day
Tekking: “why else would a Celestial Dragon go to some random city in the east blue if it wasn’t the kingdom his family ruled over before the founding of the world government?” My brain: “… oh shit… Hachi getting shot at the Sabaody auction house might not have been the *only* reason Luffy decked that Dragon in the schnoz. It may have been a catalyst pulling up a really bad memory for him. The memory of Sabo’s “death”.”
Even if Sabo had not "died" that day, Luffy still would have punched Charlos. Also, I know Oda does not want Luffy to kill anyone, but Charlos' skull should have caved in from that punch.
I think, Mamboshi, one of Shirahoshi's brothers, became friend with a royal that likes samba. Maybe that person can be from a kingdom based on Brazil, since the world links samba with Brazil often
It's amazing how Oda's creativity gives us such a good politycal system. Where in order to maintain a stable power, someone had to buy all the leaders into luxury and far from their lands, so that not being local to each one's kingdoms the kings wouldn't act on favor of their country, not being necessarily beneficial for the king, turning out on a not usage of their power... LITERALLY extracting the independence from a territory delicately. On MF point Oda 🙌
as someone from the Philippines, I was genuinely gladly surprised that Oda referenced our country, but also horrified that his takeaway was "wow big mountains of trash wow"
I think Portugal being the representation of the Goa Kingdom makes much more sense than the Netherlands or the Philippines. I don't think it's the Netherlands because the real state of Goa, India was a former colony of the Portuguese. And, I don't think it's the Philippines because of the architecture and fashion style of the Goa Kingdom matches more closely to ~19th century European architecture and fashion style.
I just love all the Egypt references with Vivi. The tombs, Nefertari etc I also find the decision to name Vivi after Nefertari as opposed to Nefertiti quite interesting.
Small note on the Goa Kingdome. Goa is a city in India, founded by the Portuguese in 16th Century, who had the the first Global Maritime Empire in History, who also discovered Brazil, which is the country which Luffy is based on, according to Oda's SBS. So it could be that the Grey Terminal is a mix of the Slums of Manila with Brazil's Favelas. Portugal's throne was also "taken" by the Spanish in 1580, when King Sebastian dying at a young age; which could be a reference to Sabo being replaced by Sterry.
Lol I love you buddy. You always bring a smile to my day. I needed this today... I really did. Thank you my friend. I know you prolly don't know I don't exist, but still, thank you for making my day. Hope you have a great evening bud.
2 things 1) Bollywood actually means Indian (Hindi) movies, and goa is literally a place in India. This is your first video I am seeing, great content.
He was a pirate so he wouldn’t have been invited and the only reason he could be a king was because of his warlord status. Also he has world government secrets so they wouldn’t want to invite him just in case he spills any of them
The Gorosei member that looks like Ghandi, might hint at a Kingdom based on India And I get Russian vibes from the bald Gorosei with the big moustache. So, perhaps the Gorosei represent some of the most powerful nations on earth today (USA, Russia, UK, India, France). I think that would be fit with the theme of the gorosei as the world's superpower

I have no evidence to support this but I think Roswald, Charlos, and Sharlia came from The Roshwan Kingdom and have the family name Karamazov which is a reference to Russian literature similar to how Donquixote is a reference to Spanish literature.
we didn't ask for this but we sure as well will enjoy this like always u surprise me with the topic of the videos and also the fact that Barry hasn't transcended reality yet
I always figured Alabasta was more of a generic Middle East representative, though I felt it was more based on Babylon. I would be shocked if Oda didn't have a country based off of Germany and Italy, but considering what One Piece is based off of, I would hazard a guess that those countries that were dominate during the Golden Age of Piracy would be the Countries that formed the 20 kingdoms. Netherlands, Spain, England, Portugal, etc...
So another connection with Arabasta and Egypt is in the name. Arabasta or Alabasta is a reference to Alabaster, which Egyptians called “The Stone of The Sun Gods” and of course is quite valuable. It often represents purity and transparency which...Baroque Works. So that’s a thing. And from a metaphysical aspect, it’s known as a “Drawing Stone” which is said to draw things towards or away from you depend on your need. There’s definitely a decent amount of narrative parallels to be found there....*WINK WINK*!
Vivi being missing, means a strawhat is missing. Giving Luffy a reason to storm the holy land. Its possible IM-sama wants to Forcibly marry Vivi off to retake control of the full 20 kingdoms.
Two fun Geography facts about Bolivia: The Titicaca lake (shared with Peru) is the highest lake in the world, as well as one of the deepest lakes in the world Bolivia has the biggest salt flat in the world, the Salar de Uyuni, being the worlds largest salt deposit
I have a whole bottle of mineral water by me. While I was not expecting a reference to Morocco in the slightest, I am VERY pleasantly surprised, and now there is a littre awaiting me to gulp it. Thanks Tekking!
Also also, the fact that One Piece's Morocco has a queen, when this kingdom is the longest-lasting one without a queen in the entire planet. Seriously, since its founding in 788 we have never had a queen. Ain't that interesting!
I think Tea IV might be the king of the Rommel kingdom. It was mentioned in Dressrosa that Hakuba terrorized the kingdom at one point. From what we saw the kingdom's architecture is very reminiscent of 1800's Victorian England. It even has a huge clock tower that looks almost identical to Big Ben. Also, Cavendish is from the Bourgeois kingdom, which is another reference to France. Maybe Ban Dedessinee is related to Cavendish?
I’m in NewfoundLand, you mentioned it before in a video if I’m not mistaken. We got some really lovely geography here. Our sea Arches out in Gross mourne national park are soooo cool! We also have something called “Obduction” out there where the tectonic plates actually slip up over each other, rather then under.
Hey Tekking, couldn't the Goa kingdom be based on, well GOA ??? Tge architecture would be more Portuguese than spanish, with a touch of that Indian flair, and Speaking as a Goan myself, I wouldn't be surprised if that was true. . . Though I would wonder when oda Sempai would have come to visit . . .
There's an island off the coast of Africa (if im not mistaken) where the seasons change just about once a week. I believe both the Grandline and Ruskaina are based on there
btw those fun facts: 1. we have navy, if this doesn't seem weird to you, we have no coast to put said navy on. 2. our president used all the hospital funds to make several soccer (football for us) fields because he heard "that a soccer field will keep a man healthy" 3. we have 365 different kinds of potatoes, so we can give you a different potatoe for each day of the year.
As a Jew, when I was listening to this I can say that I had a very different and somewhat disturbing images of the 'Kingdom of Bris' and 'Saint Bris' in my head 😅😂
Just imagine if Tekking brought a girl home and they started getting hot and heavy in his bedroom and she noticed Barry. Girl: What's with the brick having googly eyes? Tekking: Oh that's just Barry don't mind him, he likes to watch.
I could see Oda intending the Goa Kingdom to be the Philippines because the Spanish influence on that nation (wasn’t imperialism just swell?) could be reflected in the main city having a Spanish design.
Wano might have been a Kingdom of the original 20 since it is stated the Kozuki Clan became the ruling family during the end of the void century and became isolated. This could explain why the Gorosei have the rumored Shodai Kitetsu
For years, that damn jingle was stuck in my head, but i had forgotten about it... until Tekking brought it back AVOCADOS FROM MEXICO! Now ill never get it out of my head

En ese momento, Jorge Caballero sintio el verdadero terror.
@@jorgecaballero1013 I like the potato fact
Por los menos conocen a Bolivia.
Pobre Suriname...jaja
About fact 1 , i keep imagining a bunch of huge ships (like aircraft carriers) "stuffed" in really small lakes with people fishing in the piers
Happy to hear that you like our National Anthem. I am from Romania and I am big fan of yours.
As a Jew, when I was listening to this I can say that I had a very different and somewhat disturbing images of the 'Kingdom of Bris' and 'Saint Bris' in my head 😅😂
Goa is a popular resort city in India, and has a lot of European architecture since it was under Portuguese occupation for 3-4 centuries.
Just imagine if Tekking brought a girl home and they started getting hot and heavy in his bedroom and she noticed Barry.
Girl: What's with the brick having googly eyes?
Tekking: Oh that's just Barry don't mind him, he likes to watch.
*smiling uncontrollably*
I could see Oda intending the Goa Kingdom to be the Philippines because the Spanish influence on that nation (wasn’t imperialism just swell?) could be reflected in the main city having a Spanish design.
What if we get the Brazil/South America inspired country when we get the Dragon flashback?
I mean, Oda DID say Luffy would be Brazilian if One Piece took place in our world, and Dragon does look a bit native american.
Botswanaaa!!! I wasn't expecting to hear my country. I took a drink for Zimbabwe and SA cuz i didnt think youd mention us.
Fisher tiger Vs Oden who is more badass?
I mean Fisher did scale the Red line with his bare hands...
Fisher Tiger has 20 in Constitution, Oden has 20 in Strength.
HOLY CRAP! I didn’t think you would have mentioned Chile, but I guess I’m taking a drink as well... Thanks, Tekking!
Is mjosgard’s dad and Homing brothers?
Wano might have been a Kingdom of the original 20 since it is stated the Kozuki Clan became the ruling family during the end of the void century and became isolated. This could explain why the Gorosei have the rumored Shodai Kitetsu
For years, that damn jingle was stuck in my head, but i had forgotten about it... until Tekking brought it back AVOCADOS FROM MEXICO!
Now ill never get it out of my head
I rolled a joint instead of pouring myself a drink, let's see if he mentions The Netherlands.
Haha, did you enjoy your joint?
broer precies die gewoon dikke jonko en beetje luisteren terwijl skaffa in bed lig seh man
Luffy most definitely did enjoy his joint 🥸
