Eiichiro Oda loves to include all kinds of hidden details in One Piece for fans to enjoy searching for all the connections in the series. The latest has been a nice gesture to Marvel that directly connects with Loki. And with Elbaf, the arc of the Vikings, already started, what better time than this to make that small homage? We tell you all the details.
Attention spoilers: this article contains information about the Loki series from Disney Plus. There are no spoilers from its plot, but there are spoilers from the first episodes of the series.
The Loki variant in One Piece
Although the anime has suffered a halt in the Egghead arc, the manga continues its journey through Elbaf, the land of the Vikings. And we already knew that Eiichiro Oda is a detail maniac, but this time it seems he has outdone himself. Thus, in chapter 1130 of One Piece manga, Loki is introduced for the first time, a character that we have seen represented in a thousand ways, but that is lately more known for being one of the faces of Marvel.
And why do we talk about Marvel specifically and not about Norse mythology in general? Well, to know the answer we have to go back to the character’s series on Disney Plus. In this one, Loki is dragged towards the TVA, the Time Variance Authority, and it is established that the Loki we see is variant 1130, the chapter number in which Loki first appears in One Piece.
The most complicated thing about this story is the fact that Oda is able to match the chapters to introduce said character right in the right number. One Piece is a huge conglomerate of plots and it seems like a very elaborate job to fit the story to match the number, but that’s how it is. Oda has done it again.
