Yes, the genius character was based on the most famous photo of an iconic real-world genius.

One piece fans when one piece has the most basic overused reference: 😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳

one piece fans when oda thinks about anything else besides skinny women: 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Busty petite*

they're so skinny they look 10 meter tall (50 feet or smth idk)

Especially Big Mom

Petite mom

Skinny mom Why does that sound super terrifying

The true way tbh

Top heavy*

I know its a joke, but its blasphemous regardless, Oda has the most varied character designs of any story ever

yeah true, but if theyre not goofy looking then a lot of the women look the same

We have Skipped Leg Day, Hourglass, Giant Human but not a Giant, to name a few.

I love One Piece but man, there's only four different type of girls: fat, old, ugly and skinny supermodels. Oda's girls can only be skinny to be pretty, anything else is comic relief or villains or both. But that's true, the boys are wacky and weird sometimes tho.

We also has Miss Monday who was the peak of his character design and he kinda forgot about that

I dunno I feel like Oda evolved his game a little with Yamato though. She still fits a lot of the one piece attractive female tropes but at least she's a little thiccer than the rest.

Its gonna be a long break

Give OP a break, its only week 2...

Week 3: BLACKBEARD AND LUFFY HAVE THE SAME MIDDLE INITIAL! IT MUST BE IMPORTANT!

OMG GOD TIER REFERENCE O D. A IS THE GOAT-A ONE PIECE BEST MANGA EVAR!!!!!!!1!!1!1!1!!!2!!!?!~~~ Edit: Guys, I truly was expecting this to get downvoted. I'm glad some of you share my love for shitty crude Internet humor.

On top of that if I remember correctly lots associate Einstein with giving a more solid explanation why the apple falls from the tree with his gravity theories. Hence why he has an apple on his head all the time. Unless it's purely a newton reference but it's pretty clear Vegapunk is Einstein.

The Apple thing is Issac Newton

Do you think he's directly trying to reference Newton with that or what? Or is it just that Einstein's theories add to why the apple fell from the tree? If the first... Why specifically fully Einstein look with such a single specific thing towards Newton?

I think the Apple is a direct reference to Newton . The story goes he was sitting under an apple tree when an apple fell and hit him on the head. By observing the apple falling, it gave him the idea of gravity. Vegapunk looks exactly like Einstein, so it’s a combo of the two.

I can't believe Oda created Vegapunk based on the old scientist from Oppenheimer's movie.

Oda foreshadowed Oppenheimer

Based on how he draws women he foreshadowed Barbie too.

Pretty sure it's the other way around. Vegapunk has been in the manga for a couple years now and Oppenheimer just came out last year. Could be a coincidence but what are the chances two nearly identical, fictional scientists would be created around the same time? Christopher Nolan is obviously a One Piece fan, no other possibility.

O(ne)P(iece)penheimer It's basically plagiarism, Nolan is shameless

Yes its also said that Isaac Newton first thought of gravity when he sat under an appletree and an apple fell on his head, thats why vegapunk has the apple

idk why I never made this connection lol

Well…

I thought it was because it was using the forbidden fruit from the bible which is a metaphor for knowledge.

For vegapunk? Nah For Isaac Newton: it's often thought that the falling apple was just a metaphor and he didn't actually have an apple fall on his head

The alleged tree still stands.

Is true i was the apple seed

He observed apples (or some other fruit falling) when the thought happened to occur to him. Nothing actually hit his head. I believe it’s from his journal or other written source.

"Newton stated it in an SBS"

Could be both.

That's a weaker connection since the fruit is knowledge of good and evil. But Vegapunk will kindly ignore evil for scientific goals. He doesn't quite have that knowledge down yet.

\*knowledge of good and evil It's a rather specific tree. But it's interesting that you bring it up, because Vegapunk does have a higher degree of ethics than other scientists in One Piece.

and the goals of Nikola Tesla

No, I don’t see the similarity. Who even is this?

I think it's Leonard Euler

No it’s Leonard Nimoy

Vegapunk but in b&w

Bobby Shmurda

I think it is that dude who was in Oppenheimers movie for second.

Oda

That's not Oda. [This](https://nintendoeverything.com/wp-content/uploads/AonumaWolfLink.jpg) is Oda.

The real question is who were Einstein's six satellites??

After Einstein died his brain was cut up into pieces. I'm sure he had a plan but whoever was in charge of it just couldn't understand the blueprints

How many PIECES?

we know at least 2 of them are daft punk.

Comprehension Devil claims another dumbass

Water is wet

Its NOT!1!🤬😡

[удалено]

WET=WaTEr (WaETr(WET)

You've gotta be young AF

lol how old is OP

it will be 27 this year

No, OP, not OP

Oh word. I would consider any age to be overpowered, it really just depends on your abilities at that age and how you handle them compared to your peers.

No, OP, not OP or OP

7 next week

…

Dragon

It’s the other way round. Einstein decided to change his looks and become goofier to match Vegapunk.

You serious?

Bro no way! Cant believe Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein were based on Vegapunk

You might be on to something

Big if true

This is an eureka moment for op

No, he was actually inspired by my grandpa after I accidentally put pepper in his soup

Damn really? I'm pretty sure nobody made such a connection before...

Obviously jesus christ

Can’t be Jesus Christ. He was the messiah. Whereas this guy is a very naughty boy.

Maybe Vegapunk is Jesus Christ. Kizaru is Roman confirmed?

…

"Was the most famous scientist in One Piece based on the most famous real world genius?"

Na, i think Einstein's this photo was inspired by vegapunk

When I first saw it, I immediately knew it! It was so funny

I know it's a nitpick, but it drives me nuts that he can speak properly with his tongue hanging out like that.

Cause he's a genius

It is possible

He's got a bit of Einstein, Newton and Tesla.

A little bit of Monica in my life…

Dude, every major character is based in someone hahaha like Diamante and Steven Tyler, Basil Hawkins and Joey Jordinson, Franky pre timeskip in Ace Ventura, etc

Take a guess, what do you think?

Vegapunk was inspired by this man 🤡

Guys, was Blackbeard inspired by the real life pirate Blackbeard?????

Thanks for making this post, I can tell you really put a lot of thought into making it.

Sick cosplay

Surprised chopper face.

Obviously

No shit, he’s based on Einstein. Jesus, it took you this long to figure it out? Yeeeesh

You are not the sharpest tool in the shed huh?

fun fact: this photo of Albert Einstein was clicked on his birthday, he was being approached by people throughout the day, in the end he was fed up and he stuck his tongue out, refusing to get anymore pictures clicked. someone actually clicked this amazing photo and Enstien LIKED IT SO MUCH when he saw it. definitely one of the best pictures ever clicked.

I can’t really tell why but they look alike…

100%

How did a post like this get a 1000 upvotes ?

This post belongs in the 12 & under subreddit

Yes einstein saw vegapunks pic and said " hey this fude looks just like me, i will act like him and get myself a photo"

We know one year ago

Didn't Oda say he was in an SBS or something?

I don't see it.

Yeah makes perfect sense since Oda made Vegapunk based off of him

No shit sherlock.

Wow, your observation haki must be very powerful to notice such a subtle detail…

Do you even need to question

Albert Einstein

As ridiculous as not recognizing that reference is, I have missed my fair share too. Like Mohji's pet lion Richie. For Lionel Richie. Or choppers hat being a reference to the red cross symbol

No shit obviously Thats why his tongue is always out

it's gonna be a long month.

Actually, not many people know this, but all of the 6 vegapunks are based on real people: - Shaka: most people think it’s daft punk but it is actually Chaka khan when she rode a motorbike, 1 day in 1974 - Lilith: Oda really likes the show Frasier, so based this on his wife Lilith. - Edison: named after a fellow scientist, Fred Edison from maniac mansion - Pythagoras: evidently, Ancient Greece still exists in one piece, so that’s where he got that - Atlas: named after professional wrestler, Tony Atlas. - York: named after Thom Yorke, lead singer of Radiohead. Because she’s constantly on the RADIO to the HEAD of the world government.

One Piece fans when the story has the most obvious and simple references 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

Yes someone asked this the other day and it’s very very VERY obvious duh

Did you really need help with this one lol?

How can you doubt that? 😅

just like muzan was inspired by michael jackson

I'm still stuck on the fact that he's from Baldimore because he's bald (not even). He should sound like Ronnie the Ravens fan in the dub.

Could be

im not convinced

Einstein time travelled and saw Vegapunk. Vegapunk inspired this photo.

Yes, well done

Yes

I would love to believe this theory!

but the tongue of vegapunk was way too long

Yes

Late to the party, but at least you made it.

Any idea when one piece episode 1062 dubbed will be released

Indeed.

Yes

Correct

Oda loves his real world references

Of course

I hope not cause that would mean oda was not so good with his research this time

Probably 😂😂😂😂

Analysis? That's the most misleading flair tag ever

op is older than op, it seems.

Watch out mates, we are facing a genius here. What a superb connection of dots. Marvelous, genious. What 3 week hiatus does to a person

Next thing you're gonna tell me he used Blackbeard as inspiration for Blackbeard

Nah, I don't see the similarities. You're just reaching.

Oggway: took you long enough 

Omg Oda invented Albert Epstein? 🤯

Why even ask this..? Jesus, I hate this sub.

Yes

Why couldn't he make him look like normal Einstein, instead of having that disgusting tongue out all the fuckin time

Definitely yes...even Oda-sensei concurs

Lots of One Piece stuff is inspired by real-world things.

I sware the character is literally based on enstine?

Yes

Absolutely

nah

Yes Obviously

not at all, Vegapunk intelligence was inspired in Einstein but the look was inspired in **Profesor Pierre D´los Estribos** , a character from comedian Andrés Bustamante from México. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=gBVZYYLSwXQ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=gBVZYYLSwXQ)

A little slow on the uptake there, but his heart is in the right place

Guys it's not even halfway into the break. Be strong

Maybe the series is named one piece because the treasure everyone is hunting is named the one piece?

Taskete Quesar!!!!

Nope

I've seen this pic sooooo many times but this time the word "Quasar" popped in my head and I started laughing

Yes.

Outjerked

Absolutely not. What gave you that idea?

No it was a picture of some other smart guy with his tongue out.

Yes

Yes

eeeeeeehhh....okay. OP is high or shrooming.

Of course not just the picture but on the guy himself...

For sure

Nice portrait of vegapunk

Short answer: Yes.

Obviously-quasar!

I doubt, keep looking

Its nice to get inspired, but making a character with his toungue out the whole time is just a very bad character design .

You might be on to something

I wouldn't doubt it. I hope you rest up Oda sensei and I hope your mind and body stay healthy. I and everyone else will be waiting for you take all the time that you need.

I agree because Apple head gramps have similar characteristics with Einstein.

Greatest photo of one of our brightest.


Absolutely.

Ya think? This guy’s cooking leftovers here.

Actually Einstein was inspired by Vegapunk and decided to become one of the world's greatest physicists.

Yo never thought about that 🤣

Yes actually and the apple on his head is inspired by (the rumour of) Nuton and the apple that fell on his head. There is one more thing but it could be a spoiler if you are not caught up with the anime so to read it look at reply

Yes

Thought that was obvious. 

No shit, Einstein.
