Trivia

 * A fan noticed the Kinjishi being mentioned and asked Oda if the character was one and the same with the character in the movie. Oda confirmed that the two characters were one and the same, and explained more about him. Originally, Oda wanted to include Kinjinshi to be mentioned during the meeting between Shanks and Whitebeard. He however held back because he thought it might be too much info for readers and confusing. At the time also, he did not know that the story about the pirate who caused havoc during Roger's time would be made into a movie
 * Oda personally selected Takenaka for Kinjishi due to his large range of character roles.
