References to Chile in animes"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

The most famous animes and mangas in history have their eyes on Chile<\/a> and constantly make incredible references to our country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One Piece, Pok\u00e9mon, and Knights of the Zodiac<\/strong> are some of the Japanese animes that have referred to or mentioned Chile <\/strong>during their time on air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just like Pirate Luffy from One Piece, our country is one of the main characters in these animations that have captivated the international audience with their adventures, jokes, and airtime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One Piece and its tight relationship with Chilean wine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chilean wine<\/a> is internationally known by winemakers, consumers, and lovers of this drink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In countries like Japan, it is common to see shelves in supermarkets, convenience stores, department stores, and liquor stores, filled with this grape wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chilean wine is so famous in Japanese lands that in episode 509 of the anime One Piece <\/strong>titled \u201cContact! The Great Swordsman Mihawk – Zoro’s Struggle of Willpower,\u201d<\/strong> you can see a bottle of Chilean wine with the written phrase \u201cTarapac\u00e1,\u201d name of one of the 15 Chilean regions<\/strong>. This happens in minute 4:57 of said episode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is known by the fans of the series that its creator, the mangaka Eiichir\u014d Oda, loves wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the characters from One Piece, the marine lieutenant commander, Fullbody, even has that name because of the concept of \u201cfull body,\u201d which is given to wines of great texture and weight in the mouth, but it would not be weird for him to be a fan of the national wine. It is really delicious!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mewtwo and Probopass, the Chilean Pok\u00e9mon<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to Mew\u2019s DNA on February 6th<\/sup>, one of the most iconic and powerful Pok\u00e9mon was created, Mewtwo. What only a few people know is that this psychic type was born on Isla Nueva, a territory that belongs to Chile in real life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isla Nueva is an insular territory in the south of Chile, <\/strong>in the southeastern part of the Tierra del Fuego archipelago<\/a> at the southernmost tip of South America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another reference to Chile in the anime is related to Probopass (in the main picture), a fourth-generation Pok\u00e9mon inspired by the Moais of Rapa Nui<\/a>. It also wears a pukao on its head, or a hat made of red volcanic scoria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
