No that marine vice admiral is actually his grandfather however it's revealed in episode 312 in the anime here they changed it. They bring the reveal to episode 5 so the live action is accurate but the pacing is way faster here storyline wise compared to the anime

[@Hawkcam1996]

30:33 No, Captain Morgan actually believed he captured Captain Kuro. In the anime, there’s another character named Jango, who’s a hypnotist. Kuro uses him to hypnotize Morgan into believing someone else was Kuro.

The introduction of Down D. Stairs. Kuina, according to manga, died because she fell down the stairs... Which is why Zoro is who he is, he lives as if he could die any moment, because any bs can kill you.

[@markussmedhus9717]

Excluding infections.

[@pvtread5207]

Another theory is she offd herself as "falling down the stairs" in Japan is essentially deleting yourself. Now in the anime I can see that as a possibility tbh. She overheard the conversation her dad had about the school and her fight with zoro; may have pushed her over the edge. Whatever the case "down d stairs" was born lol

[@rantingrodent416]

​@@Kamon181but the promise comes after she heard that. The anime (and I think the manga?) make it clear that she started pushing herself even harder afterwards and her father started to change his mind Regardless, any variation on her intentionally killing herself ruins Zoro's whole character motivation.

Episode 1, "I alone took down kuro of a thousand plans," is what Captain Morgan said. In the very next episode, you see his bounty poster in the chest with the map to the grand line. He knew.

[@honeybadger5548]

I don't think so. He most likely kept it as a trophy.

[@DevilWearsAdidas]

[@DevilWearsAdidas]

@honeybadger5548 that's just not anywhere mentioned in the show. If you have sources then by all means show me. But since jango isn't in the show, captain Morgan appears to be an accomplice.

[@honeybadger5548]

@@DevilWearsAdidas We know for certain that Morgan is easily fooled. (Nami managed to do so with Luffy basically giving it away). Thus, Kuro should easily be able to fool him without the risk of Morgan screwing up. Now, is there ANY indication Morgan does indeed know? Because keeping a trophy makes sense. Keeping the wanted poster because they colluded? I see no reason why that would make anywhere near as much sense as having a trophy. If you have an actual good argument, I really don't mind being wrong. But to me, it sounds like you didn't think of a trophy and now are locked in to the idea that they worked together without any evidence.

​@@AzulApe Kuro as a villain is interesting, but the story involving him is not. Hes my 1st fav too.

[@borjankosarac3645]

His plan is the manga/anime is both more thorough and yet simpler… I think as a writer Oda was still finding himself and so there were both clever ideas and logical fallacies to it. For the former, he had a crew mate who could effectively hypnotise people, and set up a scenario where a fall guy was executed as “Captain Kuro” which is actually why Axe-Hand Morgan believed he’d defeated and killed him. On the latter hand, Kuro’s original plan was to have the Black Cat crew raid the village, kill everyone so Kaya’s death wasn’t suspicious… and then kill his whole crew so he could have the island for himself; he didn’t think than anyone would find that suspicious? The live-action is simpler and maybe more flawed in some ways, but on the other hand they kind of just embraced the silliness by going for an almost camp-horror, slasher villain vibe to Kuro.

[@Damnitgary]

I liked 3 and 4 more then the first to tho

[@JJ_6036]

I surprised myself when I realized that the Kuro arc episodes are actually my favorite of the series (the whole series is also my favorite though). What I loved is that it is the part of the show that feels like the Straw Hat Crew "settled in" if you will. In these two episodes all of the dynamics of their friendships are sliding into place, Nami and Zoro being calculating realists together, Luffy and Usopp vibing as goofs and relating through Yassop, and it all takes place during a mystery mansion caper. Not to mention the set design is STUNNING. Also Kaia was endearing and made it feel like the she represents the sweet and innocent people in the world of One Piece who aren't pirates...and are worth protecting by being good pirates and not bad. Now the crew is more tight knit, they make a lasting friend in Kaia, get a new crew member, and get their first SHIP. It's just all so satisfying :D

[@billbillinger2117]

If memory serves the "accident" that took Kuina was only ever hinted by Oda as something along the lines her of falling down the stairs that morning. A reminder of sorts that even the strongest can succumb to something so simple. I can't remember if it was in the manga or if Oda just talked about it.

[@Gutslinger]

It wasn't hinted. Her dad specifically says it to Zoro in the manga. I just read it for the first time today.

[@snake698]

Zoro's background in the anime is so much more heartfelt in my opinion. When he asks for the sword, he literally cries "I will become the strongest, so my name will reach even Heaven"

what I love about the OP series is out the gate devil fruits are established, and yet half of the notable characters you see along all these chapters are badass on without a devil fruit, they can just DO stuff, they are physically just big, a different species, etc. It could've been easy to just double down on any notable person could be explained as devil fruit but instead it's a full variety

2:00 Kuro doesn't have a Devil Fruit ability; in this season, the only characters who have them are Luffy & Buggy, and there are only going to be two more before they get to the Grand Line in season 2. Kuro is just super-fast as a trained skill. Basically, if anyone has a Devil Fruit, they'll talk about what fruit they ate and what their power does; if they don't mention it, an ability is probably just something they trained.

Just as a general note about your question pre watching. They have been (and will probably continue to be) really good about letting you know if the person has a devil fruit. They will generally announce it and give a short explanation of their power at some point like buggy did.

Kuina fell down some stairs. I think she fell because of the fight. She was on her way to sharpen her sword after their duel and fell. Zoro indirectly blames himself because if they never fought, she never would've needed to sharpen her blade.

I believe in the manga her father, the senses tells Zoro that she was getting a whetstone to sharpen Wado Ichimonji, and during this she slipped and fell down the staircase. Think that and the anime actually showed her body; not sure why they didn’t here, to be honest it would have quieted people suspecting she wasn’t dead or something.

[@Gutslinger]

@@borjankosarac3645 I read the flashback part in the 2nd volume (I think) of the manga for the first time 2 days ago, and he said nothing about her sword or whetstone. He just said she had an accident falling down the stairs. And yeah, you do see a panel of her body immediately after when child Zoro goes to see her. But I don't know if they explain or show anything more about it later on in the manga or not, as I'm reading it for the first time and only own the first 2 arcs.

[@d.a.baracus]

I think the general consensus is that the Syrup Village arc is the weakest story arc in the Netflix adaptation, but strap in b/c the final 4 episodes are all bangers. To answer your question, no, Axe-hand Morgan did not know that Kuro was still alive; Kuro tricked Morgan into thinking he had captured/killed Kuro. Also, the reason the 2 henchmen look so ridiculous is b/c their costumes are pulled straight from the manga. But regardless of how stupid they look, they are actually supposed to be elite members of the Black Cat Pirates, not just a couple of scrubs. That being said, I think it was a mistake to lean so heavily into the manga for their look b/c their costumes make them look ridiculous & thereby less menacing.

[@Gutslinger]

Usopp's character is majorly lacking. His actor is terrible at delivering. Especially with the important sad/sentimental scenes. It was awkward and cringe hearing him trying to deliver his lines in scenes like when it returns from his flashback. "Why won't anyone believe me? **sniff**" - It sounded like when adults mock children when they cry over something insignificant. Also his acting when asking if they think Kaya "like liked" him, and his acting when finding out Luffy knew his dad, and his acting when Kaya was saying goodbye to him was very cringe and awkward.. They made a terrible choice in picking him, though his look is passable.
