- From Monkey D Luffy To Goku Anime has always had Undercover latin coded characters. Even besides anime we have Characters Like Bane and Danny Phantom. Today i’m here to list all of them for y’all
Part Two Monday!
dawg dave bautista is greek n filipino lol
@@johnshedIetsky i said he’s an honorary latino
@@pesochicodamn gang u replied quick
@@johnshedIetsky i be on this shi all day 😪
"You can't be both black and latino"
Miles Morales:💀
Ps5 miles is trash but Spiderverse miles goated
It's cuz miles is too gringo so people don't read him as latino. He needs to rep his roots harder.
@@TheSeaBase real bro he’s reppin Boricua but doesn’t act like it
And Afro latino/latina
I guess I'll go back in time and erase my Panamanian ancestors 😂😂😂
Dude said "asian coded characters" as if most anime characters are not asian lol
i meant American cartoons bro
@@pesochico oh ok
😂😂😂😂Right
Lmfaooo
Gurl I see where you're coming from, but I'm sorry your L is coming via Amazon Prime. We do not want to do this, but unfortunately our hands are tied.
As a Mexican, all i am gonna say is that the bus i took today had shadow painted in the door, i know it proves nothing but at the same time it is conclusive evidence for me
that’s evidence enough for me my boy
Nah bro that proves it ngl
Take a pic
@@pesochicoyo you should add knuckles in part two hes actually indigenous/meso-american (aztecs, mixtecos, mayans)
Me who's both Latino and Black enjoying all my double representation : 💀
same gang
Same here lmao
Same bro
Same here lol
Yurr, same
Luffy is confirmed brazilian, the only japaense memeber on straw hats is zoro. usopp is black, and nami is from denmark i think.
usopp is black but people still argue about it funny enough
If you watched, like 30 seconds of the vid, Chico alr said that
You right but Nami is from Sweden not Denmark
@@pesochico Why is Usopp white after timeskip? Unless he’s South African, then there’s no justifying that.
He's not white they just made his skin light which they did with like every character post timeskip@@demonking3673
Based off of your logic with goku, whenever he goes super saiyan 4 he taps into his repressed latino(saiyan) DNA and becomes latino goku. makes sense.
that’s one of those suspension of disbelief things
He becames Mexican! jk jk
Goku is more black than anything lol.
@@Aesirfollower2020 dassa reach
Clearly he’s not an alien 🤔
i usually hate when people say rouge is latina because they think latina = lightskin miami supermodel, but someone actually gave an argument this time (btw i love your videos)
bro i had to come with the facts this time
Yeah facts the bat facts was unexpected haha
rouge is french simply because of her name. you cant fight me
People fail to realize how racially diverse Latinas are
@RetawMelon-ot8nl with your logic sanji is Japanese because of his name
I think this discussion of “__ coded characters” is my absolute favorite. Why does Shadow just *feel* Latino? There’s no real evidence to go off of other than pure vibes. Sonic is a lightskin? It just makes sense
also bro i did some heavy research for this one people got mad abt the vibes thing from the first one
Sonic's so lightskin, I'm surprised his eyelids don't produce a solar flare every time he does that zesty ass wink and/or bedroom eyes Drake headass stole tech lowkey
sonic being lightskin is the best thing ever
Sonic be hittin them Drake bedroom eyes for no doggone reason all the time and it's perfect
Yuh💪🏽
Chad from Bleach homie straight up has an abuelito who taught him boxing
Chad is the OG bro he’s gonna be in part two
Chad the goat Latino in anime
@@x-xxx-xxx-xxx the goattt
Thank you for letting people know that you can be Latino and black. Lots of people out there don't know that Latinos come in all colors. I'm Puerto Rican. My dad is light-skinned afro Latino. My mom is white Latina. I got a Cuban friend of Asian descent. I have South American friends who are indigenous. Most of us out here are just mixed race and proud of our ethnicity.
some people seriously think you can't be both latino and black?!? that's absolutely insane lmao, you walk around a place like brazil and half the people you see are black! do they think "latino" itself is a race? even then, mixed-race people exist... i just can't understand.
Yessss
Whenever I see this conversation I remember that scene in The Mandalorian in which they reveal; "Mandalorian isn't a race, It's a Creed.".
Similarly; "Latino isn't a race, it's a culture". That _blows the minds_ of people in the US because to them "latino" means "mestizo", which although common and related, specially in their region, isn't always the case across Latin American. You can be latin and white, black, brown, asian, native american, semitic, whatever. You grow up here, you live or carry our experience, you are it.
im so happy to see an afro-latino content creator that i enjoy watching and embraces his background fully
Much love bro i’m glad you like the content 🤞🏽
Bro, RACE DONT MATTER GOD DAMN
A little cringe, but I agree too
Of course Shadow is latin. He says adios and is always talking about some girl named Maria.
Lobo looks like a Mexican who also happens to be a Metalhead ( and he actually is a metalhead)
Lobo is Danny Trejo fs
Lobo is for sure Mexican bruh
lobo a rockero
Lobo is just Spanish for wolf like lone wolf
my friend be like
to clarify i said Honduras was in south america because most people don’t know the difference between central and south america don’t get on my cheeks pls
They really are not that culturally distinct, also Hispanic is not a race there are white Hispanics so technically its easy for them to feel represented in media regardless of what language a character might speak. Indigenous and Black Latinos are the shadowed outcast that has little to no representation even in Latin media
I’m getting on your cheeks.
You mean didn't know the difference between Central and South America.
You're lucky i read the clarification, I almost had get involved
@@petergeramin7195 i’m confused what you mean
Yeah man, I hate when people try to put race on Hispanic people(white Puerto Rican here)because Hispanics aren’t even a race or considered a race by specialists who study genetics. The most we can be considered is a sub ethnicity since most of us are connected by language and culture but not by skin color. People need to at least do the bare minimum and not think hispanics all look Mexican.
Real
yup, im peruvian and im VERY white and my eyes are green, my whole family is from here, we didnt migrate or if we did it was so long ago no one remembers, we are just white and culturally im completely peruvian.
Any specialist will tell you that the concept of "race" has no real foundation in genetics though
But you did the same thing by saying "Mexican" is a race 😂😂😂 not all Mexicans look the same, there's white mexicans, brown mexicans, black mexicans and even asian mexicans.
@@helloworld-sl2lw True, what I meant to say was Mexicans put out in media, it’s always brown Mexicans that hopped the border, you rarely ever see other examples of them, same goes for any other Hispanics out there, like Puerto Ricans from what I’ve seen in media always been light skin guys and girls, and like you said about Mexicans ive seen every shade of Puerto Rican in my family
Bro Obito uchiha gave me the most Latino vibes ever just cuz they seem to have made his skin darker
and I don’t know why but his hair also looks like a teen Latino style lol
i always felt this way too bro
they japanese
New head canon just dropped
@@Zelgahyou can be mixed
@@rabbit0.023that’s not the way anime works, everyone is Japanese unless it’s a hardcore stereotype character
I can totally see why you see SS4 goku as Latino, to me whenever I think of crazy fan transformations in dragon ball I think of the Hispanic DB community as a whole. They love dragon ball so fucking much and go so hard with whatever they do, from hosting huge public screenings of the tournament of power to drawing the craziest most badass transformations / fan mangas.
bro trust me my family thought dragon ball AF was actually real and canon
Facheeta
As a Mexican I got some characters that seem hella latino to me bruh but here’s 5 lol
1. Sid from Ice Age (he has that Latino aura for some reason plus bruh’s species was deadass from Bolivia around 5 million years ago)
2. Ash Ketchum (idk as a kid I always got that feeling he was Mexican from watching Pokemon XYZ)
3. Daki and Gyutaro from Demon Slayer (Daki be actin like a Bichota and Gyutaro got the average Venezuelan build)
4. Diddy Kong looks like that one Peruvian kid who’s always playing Free Fire ong (basically Latino Fortnite)
5. Big Man from Splatoon (he’s literally a Brazillian Manta Ray)
bro i feel the exact same way about ash ketchum that’s a W
3. Their daddy Douma is some sort of brown coded. He smokes Hookah (according to the fan books), has the whole Lotus/Dharmic theme going on, and something else that is too long for me to get into.
Sid is voiced by John Leguizamo, so that might help
Brock is also 100% latino
@@fhtswstudios4260brock is definitely Filipino with some japanese
Ever since someone said Shadow an Emo Mexican I can’t unsee it lol
factual
I never heard of Shadow the Hedgehog being considered Latino. I always heard he was either Gothic White or Black.
Not that we mind tho
I’ve heard black + Latino mixed 🤷🏽♀️
Definitely NOT BLACK
He’s an alien, he’s his own race similar to Goku
Black and Latino are not mutually exclusive at all. Most Latino people have a pretty large percentage of African ancestry
Always thought Danny Phantom and Beast Boy were hispanic probably puerto rican. Danny becomes tanner when he’s going ghost its fact. And i think the live action beast boy is actually latino
Also believe Danny Phantom is Hispanic. Never thought about Beast boy but I definitely see it.
Best Boy from OG Titans is definitely Mexican lmaooo
Was super pleased with their choice for the Luffy actor on One Piece Netflix. Nice they got a Latino actor and overall the show was cast to reflect the statements Oda made about each characters nationality. Was well done
Rei from Evangelion is Latina to me and I cannot explain why. I agree with legit all of these- nice dude
we gotta spin it back for the part 2
i blame rei chiquita
Rei chiquita
Asuka is Nuyorican coded.
It’s gotta be the hair, we all know a cute Spanish girl with short hair with her similar personality quirks
I always saw Hiei as being philippino. There's a Demon in the Philippine folklore called the Santelmo which is a fire demon with 3 eyes kinda like Hiei.
He’s Japanese
This is now canon for me. Makes way too much sense.
I can confidently say I’ve never thought of Hiei as Latino-coded before today and now I can’t unsee it😭so I appreciate you for that
i brought you to the light bro
im curious what makes hiei appear latino coded
@@davidleddingerit’s definitely the fits he be pulling that man doin the anime Version of baggin dickeys with a beater on or cut off sleeves shirt.
Go to the skatepark and you got like 8 chicanos with the same damn fit on
@@davidleddingerhe looks like one of those Emo Latino Teens.
true, didnt think of it that way@@Bean_Pablo
Shadow isn’t Latin American, he’s either an edgelord black or white guy who just knows a lot about Latin American culture cause of his love of Latinas🗣💯
HHWA. F**k the Ark Yo, Comin straight from above the ground, Young hedgehog got it bad Cause he (darker) Than Brown, and Not the other colour so Gun think they got the Authority to Chaos control a Minority.
as a Latino I've always as an edgy white kid
Do u mean was? Cause if u did then nah, ur just a blanquemiento.💀
But if u meant related as or something along those lines then, aight cool then.🤷
@@averytherockgod9822 Seen him as*
Ohhhhh ok, in that case I feel u🤙💯
Im kinda surprised you didn't mention Broly. Maybe its just me, but Broly always gave me Latino vibes. Especially with his DBS version.
saving dbs broly for part two my boy
Same for Paragus
@@nonpooper4384 tap in today for part two
Arkham origins bane is goated.
undeniably
Before Oda did confirm the nationality for the straw hats, I thought Zoro was Latino. I thought he was based off the Antonio Banderas movie The mask of Zorro. Plus that to be continued after he fought king with the reference to the movie as well.
As a mexican, I always thought Spike Spiegel was mexican on my first watch through of Cowboy Bepop. Idk why but I always felt like he was.
VAMBORA PORRAAAAAAAA!!! 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
BRASIL CAMPEÃO DO MUNDO!! 🇧🇷🇧🇷
Ty for the check on us! Love you, dude!
1:34 me PERSONALLY, i see shadow as asian. his whole sauce n shit reminds me of the yakuza games (this coming from an avid sonic enjoyer who didnt even know about yakuza till last year). i can kindaaa see mexican but im more leaning towards japanese
fair fair
@@pesochicoyooo wsg bro, binge watching the vids rn, shit fire
I actually draw him as a Japanese man, so I do you on that!!
He’s either Japanese or American (most likely American since he was created by Gerald Robotnik).
As a Honduran I forgive you for what you said.
Also 3 charecters that give me latino vibes are Kora, Jotaro, and Word girl.
For some reason I can imagine Kora speaking like a hispanic mom.
Jotaro is hard to explain but ig it's his menacing facial expression.
Word girl has the looks but she doesn't sound latina, ig a little tiny bit.
heavy on Jotaro for part two
I mean Jotaro is part Italian on his mom's side, and that's about the closest he's gonna get 😂
Jotaros half British half Japanese.
But word girl, either afro latina (esp Dominican(both creole and Hispanic) or colombian) or Louisiana creole
@@marleythomas3414
Jotaro is half Japanese, yes, but he's only a quarter English, with the remaining quarter being Italian thanks to Suzi Q
Another bangerr🔥🔥
shi zah i’m tryna get like you
Damn, ion know if you somehow took what I commented last video about lightskin coded characters characters but yoo thank you dog. Been waiting for this one 🔥🔥
i’m always inspired by comments bro you guys help every video 🤞🏽
@@pesochico You cooked fr, thank you dawg fr 🐐🔥🔥🔥
My new fav CZcamsr fr I’ve been binging all your vids for days now blessed with another banger
thank you bro bro welcome to the fam!
I knew Chopper was Canadian
he got that energy tbh
As a canadian, this is a fact.
As a Mexican I always headcanoned of Bardock as Latino, Specifically OG Bardock
bardock and Turles
ilu king thanks i been waiting for someone to make a video like this 😭😊
Never knew why but i always thought Fire Princess from Adventure time was so latina coded even in the newest spin off Fionna and Cake her make counter part dj flame was litterally tan skinned like brooooo just confirm it already
Huh, so that why I felt so connected with her
Fyee vid gng 🙌🏽
thanks gangy 🤞🏽
A lot of times when we think about Latin American people, we’re really thinking about the indigenous people of America, but that’s something I don’t think people will ever really clarify 🤷🏽♂️
knuckles is indigenous
Thanks for the vid🙏
thanks for watching bro bro 🙏
Lowkey need part 2😂
i gotchu gang
If you ever seen megaloboxing their main character could also be a mix Afro Latino character if you haven’t used him yet also a very good show to watch
I wanna hear from the indigenous/Native/First Nations folks. Rarely represented officially, but there are definitely characters out there that fit the vibe.
for sure! like knuckles who is an indigenous mexican
I appreciate this 🔥🔥🔥
I don't know if i would consider him latino but denji just feels like he would be right at home in latinamerica, like he already knows the struggle, and something about him talking with mexican or southamerican idioms just feels right in the spanish dub, i would argue it feels more right than the sub since in the anime they just stripped away all the energy he had in the manga and the latin spanish dub gave it back
True
Michiko is literally an Afro Latina in an anime based in Brasil her design is also based on the singer Aaliyah
ONGGG finna sub
You just spawned brazilians here, boy. Much love
Gojo definitely has Mexican running thru his blood some how. Lowkey I want nightwing to be Mexican. He just fits us too
😂😂😂
😂
This is gonna sound crazy, but hear me out! Seto Kaiba is latino. There is something about that man that just screams Argentina or Panama. As a Cuban, I can just feel it 😭
Cool vid!
thank you brodiiii
Keep cooking fam 🔥
Thank you brodie you too i’m tapped in
Gotta say ever since I was a kid, Mugen from Samurai Champloo always felt Latino coded for me. Could be delusional but that’s my opinion. Great video and subbed.
I say Jin, Mugen was arrogant asf and had a fro Jin was like a chill traditional Chicano
Loved the video. two more character are David Martinez, from cyber punk edge runner who is from this part of the city called Santo Domingo, which might be based of the capital of the Dominican Republic and Luz Noceda from the owl house which is also Dominican
Well David is already canonically latino so he really isn’t latin-coded
buen video bro me gusto
As a Latino myself, good list
Another character I would include here is Broly(specifically the one from Super)
I guess that’s another one of the characters that you really can’t give proof of and you just gotta go by vibes
But yeah, Broly from DBS just *feels* Hispanic to me, as a Hispanic. Kinda like SSJ4 Goku
bro i just recorded part two coming monday and you already know broly is in there
I just subscribed to you because of this video.
Also dude how do you miss Meta Knight from Kirby? He has a spanish or latino accent in Kirby right back at ya and even the super smash bros series.
part two
@@pesochico I will be waiting
@@pesochico oh yeah don't forget 90's cartoon Sonic was voiced by Steve Urkel, so that Sonic is definitely black.
@@mandalorianhunter1 Monday brother monday 🙏
@@pesochico sorry man I was just trying to remember stuff at the time. I was work then I remembered Steve Urkel.
Ayyy glad my boy Batista got a shout out. One of my fav wrestlers of all time who is also an honorary Latino 🔥💪
batista is the goat bro
Hopefully in part 2 you'll be able to elaborate on the characters that you couldn't explain but felt that they were Latino but good shit this video was lit
part two i got way more explaining because i made quite a few people mad i have a pretty solid list for the sequel
The best latin american character that isnt latin american is denji from chainsaw man, he is probably the most relatable shonen protagonist
Hiei being Latino could be due to being fast like Speedy Gonzales.
2:45 as cool as it is to base a sonic character’s race off of the animals that they’re based on, it kind of doesn’t work when you consider characters like Knuckles. Knuckles would be either Australian or from New Guinea if we’re going off of the animal he’s based on but people don’t really code him such. (Which is totally fine.) Although in some of the comics he could probably be seen as Australian coded but that was during the reign of that one notorious writer. In all honesty I think it would cool to see him coded as an indigenous Australian, since there’s hardly any indigenous Australian representation when it comes to animated media. Of course I’m not an indigenous person so I can’t really speak on their behalf and besides in the end he could end up being a stereotype.
(Sorry kind of went off on tangent. For the record I wasn’t trying to be rude.)
knuckles is mayan coded. he is a descendant of the tikal, a tribal group based off of the mayans
that and he’s also based on jamaican Caribbean culture. Knuckles is based latino
@@MysticTech yeah I know. When it comes to comic part I probably should’ve wrote possibly instead of probably and I’m pretty sure that’s what I originally wanted to write. But at the time I couldn’t think of the word and just went with probably, either way I wasn’t trying to claim that he was just that he could potentially be seen as such. And with the Indigenous Australian part I probably should of wrote interesting instead cool. Because an Indigenous Australian coded Knuckles would be interesting. Obviously it’s (most likely) never going to happen but doesn’t make the idea any less interesting. Not only would be fun way to reference a country the real life animal is from but like I said there’s hardly any Indigenous Australian representation in media. (I know I technically said animated media but actually it’s pretty much any kind of media.)
I’m Puerto Rican and thanks for the video ❤❤🇯🇵🇵🇷🔥
And Japanese
yo también 🇵🇷
As a latino, we claim goku.
factual
The other day i learned that albiore de cafeo from saint seiya is argentinian, and as an argentinian myself...yea he fits in
Also i feel likea lot of jojo characters (more in part 5) could be argentinian or brazilian tbh
Que Onda vato! You good we laugh at ourselves all day, this is just hype for us, on part two can you add Chad from bleach, yugi from yugioh, ty and cari from digimon, duo from Gundam wing, yes I'm absolutely reaching but my people don't got enough representation 😭😂
Chad from bleach is in part two up now!
Gang what edit platform do you use
Goku es 100% latino
-Atentamente y con amor; La comunidad latina UwU
Oye mano i was fucking with you until the uwu part but all love brodie 😭
@@pesochico ha ha. Don't worry bro, it's completely undertandereble and a fair point not gonna lie. Anyways, keep your great work bro. Beso en la rosca
(I'm learning english and i'm watching you improve it so i hope you understood what i said)
J-stars victory vs was a great time.
i miss it so much bro
4:42 I mean Paulina from Danny Phantom was probably based off of Liz Allen since Butch himself stated a fair of characters from Danny Phantom were inspired by Spiderman...so probably.
Honestly as a Latino who loves SA2 and the Sonic franchise. This the first time hearing about Shadow and Rouge being latino.
Shadow no idea, but I have always seen Rouge as a black coded character. Now I am picturing Rouge as Kali Uchis and it makes sense!
Gracias por este video informativo.
0:43 you know brazilians can be white right? Im Brazilian and i seen guys who look like vampires from how white they are, im white and im a Brazilian, its not a race its a nationality
yes i’m aware my boy just like black people can be hispanic
It's funny how many mix have in Brazil
michelle jones took the same concept of the classsic mary jane but did it in a completely different way, if they wanted black mary jane she would be called mary jane. when the mcu does a character everyone knows (like spider-man) they do things different. i dunno i think she's cool
Thank you & yeah!! I don’t mind when they change characters races to make it feel different
Also the most popular One piece short international in the early 2000s was Dream Soccer King! and Luffy was breaking ankles everywhere
3:15 that cause Bruce Timm has a weird ass fetish for Batman x Batgirl for some reason and won’t stop forcing it in his work
I mean… Shadow DOES love Latinas.
factual
Who doesn’t
Don't forget Sosuke Aizen. The author of Bleach even said lots of his villains' designs are inspired by spanish culture.
can’t forget the goat
whoever let bro cook, give them 10+ awards cuz they amazing 🎉
however the fact u aint put tsubasa from beyblade in here is wild 😮
In my opinion I think that shadow is black but I respect your opinion
Chicooooo W MANS
W Mori-goat in the comments
Wow interesting video
My boy chico bout to hit 10k im proud of u bro
Idk if u remember khalil with the nle choppa face on pfp but that’s me i got banned for saying fa**ot too much lmao
bro khalil i was like wtf happened to you we were talking about collaborating and you just disappeared
So weird seeing people retroactively make excuses to feign a deeper connection with a fictional character than is being presented by the creators. To each their own but most mfs who talk about coded characters are so tribalistic it hurts. At least you have tame reasoning, even if evaluation of characters you want to be coded to be like you is strange. Its still a semi-fun discussion.
i just do it for fun honestly. If i was wrong and all these characters are just Japanese i wouldn’t mind id still like them the same to me the research section is the most fun for these videos. I got one more and then im done with this topic
@cashchiico I assumed it's just topics for fun. It's actually really interesting seeing all the similarities found between behaviors of those from different cultures and how it connects us with certain characters. Being able to identify with a character who is nothing like you is a pretty cool feat of accomplishment for those who made the characters. It is pretty cool to see a little bit of yourself in a character made on the other side of the world. It's a testament to how well-rounded most anime characters are for people to be able to connect with them on a deeper level such as this. It's an interesting topic for sure.
I know this is a wild idea, but maybe the writers don't care about race as much as yall.
so why did the creator of one piece go out of his way to give all of his characters nationalities. You’re bein dense bro
the ones that you couldnt identify why u though were latino all had this black n red color scheme, it think it might give the latino vibes. Also, u so chill :)
1:32 It’s funny you mention this since Ace is apparently Portuguese (and ofc Portugal speaks Portuguese)
exactly bro
(Coming from a Latino) Garfield, Jake the dog, and Michaelangelo from TMNT are all latinos, Even though Michaelangelo is mixed and is lightskin
5:06 Liz was amazing in this show, idk what Peter was thinking I would’ve chosen Liz over Gwen
while true gwen understood him more imo
as someone who is portuguese its so weird and cool seeing any character even related to portugal
Ehhh I don’t know if I agree with shadow or hiei but solid vid
Goku or Broly definitely ain’t Mexican tho lmao. MAYBEEEEEE Vegeta but I don’t think any of them are aside from maybe Yamcha (Yamcha could be indigenous too)
the rouge mod really caught me off guard and couldnt help but laugh
0:58 This Oda must've wrote the world, this is crazy
good one
Idk if you do video game characters a lot lot, but Qiyana from League of Legends is definitely Latina coded.
2:48 you’re pointing at Central America😂
