How Dante's Inferno Inspired One Piece

- I have bridged the gap between 14th century Italian poetry and Japanese manga.
Dante's Inferno is something you should read if you haven't already. And while you're at it, you should go above and beyond and continue with the reset of the Divine Comedy: Purgatorio and Paradiso.
And of course I love One Piece. One Piece is something I've treasured for over a decade now and I'm trying to think about ways to talk about it that others haven't already done. Impel Down has grown on me the most compared to every other One Piece arc in the series because I keep coming back to it finding something I love about it. Luffy's daring journey to rescue his brother Ace pushing him to the absolute limit and where else would be a better place to test him than Hell itself. The more I think about Impel Down's applications to the Egghead Island events, the more crazy the references and foreshadowing becomes.
Deus, in nomine tuo salvum me fac, et in virtute tea libera me.

Dante's divine comedy
the most successful self insert fan fiction
It truly is. Very divine
Impel Down literally has Layers of Hell. If Luffy is Dante, does that mean Buggy is Virgil?
Buggy is best Virgil
Buggy is a son of Sparda confirmed
Reverse Jailbreak is such a cool concept! And Captain Buggy my beloved❤
Captain Buggy can only fail upward. The laws of physics say so
Couldn't the inverse structure of impel down be symbolism for the inversion of virtue by the world government. Like Virtue and Virtù (à la Machiavelli).
Good catch and especially with the symbolism from Egghead with the Elder Stars, that’s is really fitting
The parallels with Blackbeard going to impel down as well makes this have even more of a deeper meaning.
Blackbeard’s crew is the Helldivers
@@TheShuckmeistershut the hell up and don't compare this trash series to Helldivers. Try watching or reading something good like, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, PUSSY.
It's one of the coolest tie-ins for Impel Down for me, plus it's one of my favourite arcs. I always think a jail break is epic, and the other references to Buddism with other things are great too.
Yeah Luffy's had some cool tie ins with Buddhism considering Gears 4 and 5 so I really like how Oda takes all these inspirations kind of like Dante. Greco-Roman mythology doesn't typically go with Christian history yet the Commedia makes it work. Oda does something similar with a whole variety of cultures!
@@TheShuckmeister Exactly couldn't have said it better 👏
never knew that about inspiration, very enlighten
Glad to enlighten!
Honestly I kind of thought that new Kama land was supposed to be a reference to limbo that exist inside hell where those who were born before Jesus would go there but I guess I’m wrong.🐱
I don't know if the video will do well with YT algorithms but I hope you do more of this videos where you explain the influences of (classic) literature in modern media, not just anime/manga, but also video games and movies/ tv shows that aren't a direct adaptation of said literary work.
It can be done!
