No because Kizaru 100% already has Italian tints af (clothing choices, Borsalino as a name, the fucking fedora era etc etc) and him and Kuzan 100% give Black vibes. The people who get triggered are the same people who almost lost their shit when Brook was revealed black in the LA and the actress for Vivi wasn't white. Like wow. Fork spotted in kitchen??? Who would have thought. It's almost like Ida isn't known for being the best at drawing black skin (USOPP) and Toei white washes the skin tones (and let's not even get into what they do to body proportions). Like ok buddy yeah One Piece has 4 blues and fish people and merpeople but! ☝️ Any skin tone that isn't white is nonexistenh
EXACTLYYYYY
and it's not even "black vibes", there's nothing else they could be, Kuzan is the biggest no brainer ever...
it wouldn't make sense otherwise... Kizaru could be biracial but he'd still be half black, his english VA doesn't voice anything but black characters...
that's why that adam sandler bullshit pisses me off cause there has never been a point where Kizaru ever looked like adam sandler to me... people said it more than anything during his pre-timeskip appearances and it's like??? Where is adam sandler at??
And the people mad about Brook actually blew me so bad cause what, did they think because his skeleton was white, he was white? Like how did yall think the SOUL KING was gonna be white? The character based off Slash??? LMFAO... BUT i have come to learn a lot of white people don't know Slash is black which is... shocking to me... (I just noticed even Kuzan looks like Slash lol)
But yeah, racist people watching one piece is truly a baffling concept to me man... cause its like, with the fishman island arc... they watched fishman island and saw how the fishmen were being treated and couldn't tell... that... they are in fact exactly... like... the people treating the fishmen... like shit?
And yeah don't even get me started on the body proportions, I was just mentioning to a moot of mine I hate how they drew Shirahoshi, that's a child... that shit pisses me off so bad, Toei and Oda are to blame. They're so gross.
