Hello, about the Straw hat pirates reference, I highly doubt that is the case. While One Piece is immensely popular in Japan, I've seen countless anime that featured things like a teddy bear or stuffed animal with a straw hats or just simply a straw hat laying around. Alot of older anime before One Piece was around showcased people with straw hats all the time. Plus people in Japan wore different types of Straw hats when working the rice fields and other types of labor jobs. If anything its a nod to a simpler time.

Sorry if this was really long winded, I just thought I should get this out there. Spirit sword (talk) 20:49, July 18, 2016 (UTC)
