Mysterious Cities of Gold was my fav series as a kid. Absolutely brilliant. There has been rumour that Oda was a fan of it but without any hard proof (i.e. quotes). It's why I liked One Piece in the first place as it reminded me of Mysterious Cities of Gold.

[@MARSHALLDPREACH]

Yeah I really think he doesn't even want to mention it because many of the big mysteries were inspired in some way from this series. If he talked about it, it would spoil many ideas for the end of One Piece. But the similarities are very noticeable to anyone who checks out the show for themselves

I can beat that. Qrlongs occupation of nami's home island is a microcosmic parallel of how the world government rules in terror and requires a tribute in order for the member nations to stay alive and not face the wrath of pirates if not direct destruction from the world govt. Anyone who hasn't paid the tribute is subject to the roulette wheel of destruction if their Island gets picked once every 3 years for their sick games... Just like the sick games we saw arlong play with chucking Luffy into the water enforcing his allies to either fight at a disadvantage or try to save him at an even greater disadvantage. Combine that with their evil superiority complex where they believe everyone else is beneath them and deserves any misery that befalls them at the whim of their rulers... They can shoot kill enslave and torture and the people they dominate deserve it through their weakness and inferiority.

[@AhmadLad]

This was a phenomenon when I was a kid (early 90s) I still remember everything about the show, especially the opening music, 30 years later. Oda was most likely inspired by it, at least by the spirit of exploration and wonder. Thanks for this video.

[@MARSHALLDPREACH]

One thing I forgot to include in the video was that Oda stated he originally planned to end One Piece at Skypiea 🤯 This may the single biggest hint that this 1982 anime is his biggest inspiration for One Piece 🤫

You forgot!!! To say, could this be what happened in real life ??? The Real Mu was Forgotten and we are the people in one piece looking for our lost technology…. With a real empty throne and a real void century and lost technology. And we are barely waking up to that fact and doing nothing about it. But reading about it in one piece… I think these authors make these stories to tell us this stuff is real. Nothing you are putting in this video is new to me. Ancient stuff is real. I’ve seen a lot of stuff only technology we don’t have can do in Egypt with my own eyes. And all over the world. Our history is erased we have a real void century. Say that in your vids man. Get these people going so we can find what we last and stop ONLY reading about it in a manga. Oda and others put it out for a reason. He is far from the only one

[@SevenFromTheSins]

We as humans cant focus only on manga, when we know we have real lost history and technology. Oda and others write these stories for us to find the truth like Luffy. We can’t just talk about Luffy’s story. We’ll miss our own story. All this stuff is real we have to go out and get the truth. It’s bigger than just a manga

[@helpme-w7s]

​@@MARSHALLDPREACHnot really

[@raulbarros8077]

Makes perfectly sense to me. I really love how you mention that One Piece world is post-apocaliptic, because it’s really odd how everyone is bound by “basically” steam/wind technology, but at the same time we keep seeing extremely advanced tech in some parts. Plus it’s understandable that any type of airplane tech would completely break this story, just like the giant eagle breaks tolkien universe. Also the world itself seems shattered, the way the world is does feel like some massive war almost destroyed the world So as a way to avoid it happening again, the world government makes sure that they will never reach that point, basically making illegal anything that could lead to a “nuclear” war. They started with good intention but now after many generations the power corrupted them, and they just live like gods while the ppl suffer

[@HaiderAli-]

I stopped watching 15 minutes into the video. I don't want to find out what the One Piece is as of yet. The similarities discussed are too uncanny. The video is just too accurate. I am just going to wait 3-4 years and let Oda suprise me, because reading the chapter in which the One Piece is revealed is going to be one of the greatest moments in my life, and I don't want to go into the chapter(and the last arc) knowing how everything will unfold. Much respect for all your hardwork! Keep it up!

[@Justcallmetour]

Literally did the same thing at 10:20 into the video

[@benwillett9203]

I like this theory Enis lobby was supposed to be eternally in daylight over a suspicious deep pit what if the third weapon Uranus floated high in the sky over Enid lobby passing on endless light as a passive side effect broken stuck sitting over the last land it was attacking not fixed by vagapunk all that energy is now able to be used instead of lighting up the dark as fearsome beams of destruction. I only say this because after the time skip and after a few brief mentions we have never heard about Enid lobby again and it’s reconstruction other than it connects to impel down and marine ford but no image has been shown of the after math of the Strawhats invasion.

[@eclipse2038]

Pretty strange as a french that we havevnever realized that, this show is pretty popular and known, even among the younger ones here. Make me wanna hear the french op of this an anime

[@werefrogofassyria6609]

Point of order, Mendoza isn't Mexican Shanks. He's Spanish Shanks. He's a subject of Spain which becomes a bit of a plot point a couple times in seasons 2 and 3. Also, spoiler for season 2, Attanaeus (Esteban's father) doesn't die at the end of season 1. He is severely injured, but he survives. Also, the ending of Season 4 is 1000x as satisfying as a series ending as the ending of season 1 of Mysterious Cities of Gold. By the end, they go to all 7 Cities of Gold. If you liked season 1, you'll love the additional season and should watch them.

[@Yallaredumb]

Shiki might have been the first one to fly tbh. But that would be sick if the sunny is used for something big at the end. Like if franky lowkey built it into a semi pluton.

[@danielmaxwell8394]

This is so good! I always thought that the Great kingdom in One Piece was inspired by "The Lost City of Arkadia" in "Spartakus and the Sun Beneath the Sea". This is also a French anime that came out at the same time and with a similar art style and it looks like the two shows always played one after another. I feel like it's under Reverse Mountain which is causing the water to flow up.

[@MARSHALLDPREACH]

Thank you! I’ll look into those if I get the time, sounds interesting

[@michaelestival9875]

I think a good candidate for our "Golden Mask Exposition Guy" is actually...Binks...of Bink's Sake fame. If Binks ate the Sake Fruit it's possible his Sake-Body would be effectively immortal , and might even get stronger with age, like aging wine. He might be sitting around aging in a barrel waiting to burst out like Luffy in Chapter 1. I think Binks would actually be a good candidate to explain all the world's backstory to us. "Trusting the power in the hands of innocent children" part KIND of makes me think that we've already gotten that. With the Celestial Dragons. I have a theory that they're supposed to be like overgrown spoiled children. Wanting "rides" and doing anything they want. So, I wonder if Oda is doing a dark take on this, subverting it a little. Depends on what they end up revealing about the Celestial Dragons. But, I wouldn't be surprised if the Celestial Dragons are what happens when you trust a group of children with ultimate power. And I think we even have some "proof" of there being TWO Ancient Kingdoms. If you look back, Vegapunk had TWO really big holograms on his island. A Giant Robot and a Dragon with Alien-Looking Antenna. I've been thinking that that hints that there's a literal race of "Celestial Dragons" who are aliens from outer space who inspired "our" Celestial Dragons, and they're the reason why they're trying to recreate Dragons on Punk Hazard. Thus, bringing Enel back into the story. But, maybe that's hinting at there being two ancient kingdoms instead?

[@missmilky6677]

while it would be awesome to see binks in the story, unfortunately the sake fruit already exists and belongs to vasco shot.

[@michaelestival9875]

​@@missmilky6677 I'll admit, Vasco having the Glug-Glug Fruit DOES make my theory less likely. But, it doesn't quite make it impossible. We've seen plenty of times where there are two VERY similar Fruits. Like the Kilo and Ton Fruits. Ace's Flame Fruit and Akainu's Lava Fruit. Binks COULD just have the "upgraded" form of the fruit. But, I'll admit, just having a stronger version of a Fruit we've basically already seen WOULD be a little bit of a anitclimax for THE TREAURE of this story. So, I'm probably wrong...but I still really like the idea.

[@missmilky6677]

@@michaelestival9875 I like your idea too, and i guess it is probable that there could be a similar fruit to the glug glug fruit, maybe it could be a logia instead of a paramecia?

Nice vid, i grew up watching this anime in French it was known as 'Les Mysterieuses Cite D'or' and fumny thing is since this was the early 90s i didnt yet know the difference between a 'cartoon' vs an anime but it turned out i had loved anime before i ever knew what it was. The crazy thing for me is that i've always found many of these similarities with it and One Piece i just never really thought much of it but now finding out Oda used to love this anime it all makes sense. P.s. its been remade in the last few years by a french tv channel with updated more 3D lookin style and theres a few seasons now, they end up going to China, Japan, India.

[@sumi1881]

30:56 - which makes me think that Nami is from the D clan too. Oda even drawn her as Weather Queen. What if she is originally D clan’s Queen? I’ve always believed that Nami is from Ancient Kingdom and last surviving princess who at the end happens to be the Queen of Ak.

[@8BitDuelist]

alot of people forget nami's backstory of her being an orphan from a warzone. along with her sister. The samething could have happened to Nami's people that happened to Robin's but Oda hasn't put it into the story yet.

[@KameSensei]

Cities of Gold was one of my favorite stories as a kid, now Im kinda more interested in One Piece knowing it could have been inspired by one of my favorite shows

[@phillykat36]

I remember seeing parts of Esteban many years ago. Great analysis. Personally, I think Oda (and other mangaka) has a dogged ear copy of The Compendium of the Emerald Tablets by Billy Carson. It's popular in Japan. Billy has said that Amazon told him to get the book translated and I'm pretty sure Japanese is the language or one of them that they wanted.

[@kitchiniou]

Great video thank you. Esteban is a childhood classic (french). I got into One Piece last year and went back to Esteban soon after. The similarities were insane. I'd like to add how we saw a devil in the Magellan Strait, the government is an enemy, Esteban's power is sun and 'smile' related, hi-tech lab hidden in a tall mountain with a weird circular cloud on top, and Mendoza is a mix with Shanks AND Namie (hot navigator, gold driven, traitor but comes back around) aaah it doesn't stop!

Awesome video I love how you connected all the dots I also thought the anime The Mysterious Cities of Gold and one piece was some how related since the only time I heard about golden cities in my child hood was in that anime I also watched it as a kid in the French version I mostly watched the remake version but also the original since my parents watched it during their child hood and I thought it was kinda funny how Skypiea had the same concept but the thing is that I didn't know ODA was inspired by it. I also love the connections you did with the Anunnakis since I also thought of that and I often talked about it to some of my relatives on how ODA brings a similar concept maybe you should do more research on that and by the way I don't think the flame energy is solar energy but rather fusion energy you know that energy everyone nowdays promises it would bring like unlimited energy Fusion energy is also the energy that fuels the Sun and I think it's also said to be a more cleaner energy than nuclear energy I think that instead of breaking an Atom apart like nuclear energy people suggest that we fuse Hydrogen atoms to have more energy and it being cleaner I think some people mentioned it doesn't give off radiation unlike nuclear but I still need to make some research on that and one of the most important part is that fusion energy can be used as a bomb far more dangerous than nuclear and this could be related to some ancient weapons or how IMU wiped so much history anyways I love all the research you did keep it up🔥

I really really like this Atlantis reference. I loved the Disney movie. There's already signs that Laugh Tale must be under the ocean. What if it was the Ancient Kingdom. I hope Oda does tie it into Atlantis legend in some way.

From the Lost Continent of Mu, sunk in the Pacific Ocean, and whose inhabitants created the Egyptian and South and Mesoamerican Pyramids and Ziggurats (and the Moai in Easter Island), who according to other legend were aliens, (and it's a cousin sunken continent to Atlantis in the Atlantic surprisingly, and to Lemuria in the Indian Ocean) to taking the Amazons out of the Greek Themiscyra and into the actual Amazon Jungle who they share a name with, from Inti as the Sun in El Dorado in the Amazon jungle, that might also have been created by aliens, but in truth was just Orellana's greed driving him away from sanity, to mythological serpents left and right starting with Quetzalcóatl (who is also the Sun, btw), all this elements have been used in adventure fiction a gazillion times and a half. They are all myths and legends that have existed for centuries As for things like "The New World", One Piece takes heavy inspiration in European Pirates sailing in the Caribbean sea, and explorers like Magellan (or Magalhães, his actual last name) sailing to The New World (and dying while trying the first circumnavigation of the globe, for the trip to be finished under Elcano's leadership). 4 points to find an exact place is an old navigation trick, it's nothing new, nor was it invented by Esteban or One Piece BTW, Machu Picchu is NOT a mountain. Please google it The only things that I don't know other examples of are the figureheads of the ships, specially the goat/sheep (a lion makes more sense)

You are very knowledgeable but you fail to see the fact that Oda had confirmed to have watched that series AND decided to add elements that are very similar to this story. If this was indeed one of his favorite series as a kid, then it be more surprising if he did not add SOME parallels. He added MANY, too many to be a coincidence. I think as an artist/author he will not copy an ending from another artist. However it will probably parallel big plot points, theoretically is more possible since it has already happened in the story, and continues even as we gather more information.

HOLY SHIT I just had a revalation about Luffy's strawhat and why its his symbol. @35:32 when you are talking about the dawn and showing luffy's hat to the right, Look at the hat specifically and think the word "Dawn" , looking at the hat from that perspective, the bottom of the hat looks like a sandy beach. The red was used as the band of the hat on purpose! If you think of the band looking like a SUN. It looks exactly like a hazy sun rising on the horizon in the morning! above that looks like a golden pre-dawn sky! I think this heavily hints at and cements his title of "Bringer of the Dawn" or "sungod nika" ALSO! Luffy if from the Goa Kingdom which is located on "DAWN" island.

Theory: The “D” stands for Dawn, as in Romance Dawn, as in “Fly the flag that heralds the world’s eventual Dawn.” The will of the D. is the will of those who will usher in the Dawn of the New Age, ushered in by the Sun God, Nika! It is no coincidence that Luffy hails from Dawn Island, and that he ate the Hito hito no mi, model Nika on Dawn Island!

I finally now realized that this is the best piece of one piece theory I have ever come across with. The best. Coz it is from the real inspiration story.

[@Psychx_]

My guess for the remaining 3 "golden cities": Old Alabasta, a place somewhere in Elbaf and Fishmen Island. Long version/explaination: If your conclusions are true, then the capital of Alabasta was probably also a "golden city" at some point, esp. since it got massive underground ruins, a poneglyph - and with that also a connection to Wano. Other possible places: A place somewhere in Elbaf due to the association of wikings with gold, giants with the ancient kingdom, and there being a road poneglyph. Another candidate would be Fishmen Island, since that's underground/underwater aswell, bears connections to the ancient kingdom not only through a poneglyph, but also through that huge-ass arc that Luffy nearly punched into tiny pieces - and it has some architecture that's seemingly a bit out of place (the palast, which due to its design, isn't rooted in modern fishmen culture - the dragon statue on top of it looks to be the similar to the one Ace destroyed in Wano when fighting Yamato. It was explicitly stated that that statue did not depict Kaido and was much older). With the locations you already mentioned, and assuming that there won't be coming that many new places anymore, due to OP nearing its finale, that would make it 7. God Valley would be an option aswell, but that's a guess without anything backing it up (except for the place being described as having been prosperous and rich in resources) at best.

[@MARSHALLDPREACH]

Alabasta is a good one! And God Valley could also be a solid option

[@Ann-vz8tz]

Hi! I saw this video by looking for older Mysterious Cities of Gold AMV, by accident. I'm not sure if you will see this comment as it is an older video, but wanted to add a few things from Mysterious Cities of Gold fan perspective! Honestly, I never watched/read One Piece, but of course I'm familiar with its popularity (best selling manga in history, right?), lenght and that live action is well regarded. But only based on this information I can say It's NOT MCoG rip-off in any way. Even if basic plot idea is inspired by it, I can easily see that with its number of episodes it adds a LOT of other plots. Also, One Piece is a very exaggerated in its character design and animation, superpowers are the common thing, while Mysterious Cities of gold is down-to-earth series, quite realistic, set in real historical era with sf elements, more close to Indiana Jones or The Mummy. Atmosphere is quite different. As people in comments wrote, series may be obscure in Japan and English spreaking internet, but it's a cult classic in France! It's actually not your "typical" anime, as it was made as French-Japanese coproduction and because it was a lot more succesful i France, their part now owns the rights to the series and made continuation (its beautiful visually, but story become a mess in my opinion). I am Polish and my French is VERY basic, but I used to read a French forum lescitesdor, it has a lot of interesting information. And small corrections: Mendoza is Spanish, not Mexican, and this adds to his ambigouity as he is mecenary navigator that worked for conquistadors. There is a lot to write about Mendoza, but he is my favourite character in the seires (Zia is the 2nd), I love how he was written and his relationship with kids (and that every of the trio has different opinion on him). like you pointed out, he helps them, is not blinded by gold like other, instead smart and cunning, but also there is this possibility he may become a traitor at some point. It's also an itteresting thing that at the end he gets a bit od gold AND saves the kids. Can do both, whe choose. Also 10/10 cape animation. And Olmecs (at least in French version) are not aliens, they are mutated survivors of Mu-Atlantis war, Olmec culture was the oldest known in Central America at the time the animated series was made, so the series made them old enough to remember this war. Honestly, it would be great if One Piece creator was inspired by Mysterious Cities of Gold and after the series is finished told about it, I think it's amazing animated show that deserves more attention outside of francophone countries. Animation is really great and fluid for 1982 TV show, there is not a lot of historical fiction with sf elements, especially not set in that era. The tragedy of colonization is often shown head on, there are historical documentaries added. I think its more realistic atmosphere may be something different and interesting for viewers, as rarely seen in more modern animated shows.

Amazing Theorie! Every second of that video was worth watching! All of those connections that you made was literaly mindblowing and with strong evidence Great content!🙂 Btw I'm from a Québec a french speaking canadian country and the show is remastered here! I'm watching it now following that video and i dont know if you knew but there is a little short after every episodes explaining something about the culture of the country the protagonist were in that episode since the story is literally on our earth but hundred years in the past. So if Oda was watching this show and he had a little bit of info about every country all around the world it make even more sense that he take inspiration from one piece watching it! On top on that i REALLY gets some one piece vibe watching this show!

I like the flying ship for later. It lets the strawhats get around to places quicker. Things have been kinda controlled by the navigation. Maybe they can get viva cards for their friends to navigate by. They already did it with the minks. That way you can set up more wide ranging plots that the strawhats could reasonably respond to.
