Netflix\u2019s One Piece<\/em> staff writer Randy Troy has claimed that the villain is based on President-elect Donald Trump, despite the character first appearing in the Japanese manga in 2000.<\/h3>\n

The character, Wapol, is an absurd dictator who ruins his kingdom.<\/p>\n

Bounding Into Comics reports<\/a> that Wapol was confirmed to be a character in the second season of the live-action adaptation in June.<\/p>\n

The report explains:<\/p>\n

\n

A major villain in the early era of One Piece, Wapol was confirmed to join the cast of Netflix\u2019s live-action adaptation in June, when the streaming giant revealed that The Main Saints of Newark star Rob Colletti would be portraying the villain in Season 2.<\/p>\n

Yet, despite the villain making his on-paper debut nearly a quarter-of-a-century ago \u2013 and likely in development for some time before that \u2013 the aforementioned Troy believes that the whole of Wapol\u2019s character was created by Oda as some sort of precognitive criticism on the newly-reelected Trump.<\/p>\n

An experienced Hollywood production assistant who ostensibly caught the attention of the Netflix series\u2019 production team by way of his own personal One Piece-centric YouTube channel, Troy took to his personal Twitter account on November 8th to absurdly allege that \u201cThe greedy and petulant Wapol is based on Donald Trump, whose family name comes from the German \u2018Drumpf\u2019, hence where \u2018Drum [Kingdom]\u2019 gets its name.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn an almost prophetic turn from Oda,\u201d he added, \u201cTrump\u2019s U.S. policies were\/are riddled with healthcare management issue.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Troy was almost immediately called out by One Piece fans, one of whom pointed out, \u201cI find this pretty hard to believe given Trump wasn\u2019t relevant to politics at all in 2000 when Wapol made his first appearance. Also, hate to say it but Wapol may end up; being a good guy (or at least a help to the good guys) by the end, so not sure you want to go this route.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cHe planted seeds as early as 1986, leading to many jokes about him as a US president in pop culture well into the early 2000s when Drum was serialized. Even the famous Simpsons episode \u2018Bart to the Future\u2019 referenced this idea, predating the start of the Drum arc,’\u201d Troy replied.<\/p>\n

Troy has since deleted both posts.<\/p>\n
