Break Week One Piece's most recent real life inspirations

#24
Shiryu and M.Bison are both inspired by the same character from Teito Monogatari, the legendary onmyoji Yasunori Katou



He's basically the ultimate evil wizard in Japanese fiction. This is a big reason for why I think Shiryu will become more important later. Katou is a powerful magician and demon summoner. Will Shiryu end up being able to use the Abyss?
Vega/M. Bison is definitely based off Katou, but I think Shiryu was more inspired from Washizaki from Riki-O. In terms of being a vicious swordsman in a military uniform.
