[@yuuchan97]

Oda-sensei meeting an embodiment of his "child" - Luffy, after years of just writing and drawing stories of him must be so awesome, and emotional for him as a mangaka and as Luffy's father. "I can't imagine anyone else playing this role" is the biggest compliment you'll ever hear from a mangaka if you were playing a role that they created, most specially coming from a legend like Oda-sensei himself. No wonder Iñaki felt so happy, and emotional. I'm so looking forward for the next seasons to come no matter how long as long as the quality of the production won't get compromise.

In Latin cultures, people (including men) are much more open and touchy feely. Americans less so. And Japanese waaay less so. But I think Oda-San was probably okay here since Inaki is basically the embodiment of one of Oda’s “children” and dearest creations-Luffy.

Also, I don’t mean the story is similar to Star Wars or LOTR stylistically. I just mean that the level of storytelling and world building is on par with something like that. The amount of cultural, religious and political referencing going on under the surface of what seems like a silly show/manga about a rubber boy wanting to be the pirate king blows me away whenever I think about it lol.

There are characters out there where the actors who play them just can’t be replaced. Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, RDJ as Iron man, Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow etc. Now Inaki will always be our Monkey D Luffy.

[@evileyes274]

He's dead, this is actor(head is covered and e.t.c) He has been out of sight for several years since his last appearance. The mangakas have a story plan that they give to the editors. If something happens to the mangaka and it cannot be hidden, the student continues the story. Remember "Berserk", there is the same story. And the death of Oda is still managed to be hidden, referring to the fact that he is a hikkikomori.
