I don’t know if anyone noticed, but if you rewatch Zoro vs Mihawk they gave resonating sound effects to both Wado Ichimonji and Yoru for their respective graded swords. And if you notice further, Yoru’s sound resonated far more than Wado Ichimonji’s being it was a Supreme Grade

I loved that Garp laughs after Luffy escapes. I always got the sense that while Garp hated that Luffy was a pirate, he loves that he’s living with freedom. This encapsulates that perfectly. They kept Mihawk says about hunting rabbits with a cannon. And I love that Zoro uses 3000 worlds, though he doesn't call it that. I think Oda has said that it was going to be the yonko, with Crocodile being one of the yonko. There was a really great video by the channel Dak's Sake recently where he used east blue to sort of plot out what Oda's initial 5 year plan was and then he used that to make prediction about the final saga.

[@SuzakuX]

Despite having a really cool design in the manga Mihawk he was never a favorite of mine. The live action version elevated him quite a bit. It's hard to even explain why because he's close to 1:1 with the manga version. It's just little details like his attitude, those hawk-like little micro head tilts he does, the pasodoble music that comes to the forefront every time he has the upper hand in the fight. Just really friggin' cool. Him splitting Krieg's galleon in half also gives me faith that they'll be able to pull off the large scale stuff if they can make it into later seasons.

[@gauthamvadlamudi3500]

I really liked all this because this clearly paints a picture of the one piece world and it's structure.. that not everything is black and white and not all pirates are bad and not all Marines are good, but still Marines are necessary for the functioning of the world. It's not that either of the extremes are the right thing... And this we'll slowly know in the anime later but this is important in live action as people have to understand one piece is not childish as it seems in the surface level with all the colors, imaginative world, goofiness etc. And this live action is doing a Greta job at that

What saddens me about this is the number of people who, even if they heard of this, would be like "oh it's an anime adaptation, nah."

It's a good show in general, that I think would work really well for a general western audience if it didn't have the word "anime" simply attached to it.

[@GaimeGuy]

You have to also realize that with Garp, it wasn't really intended to be a secret as long as we think it was in the west. The Romance Dawn one-shot was already well known when One Piece began, or at least, it would have been expected that fans of one piece would go back and read the pilot, and it's very clear that Garp was the design of luffy's grandfather from Romance Dawn.

[@sweetpea8155]

"you're like a little frog croaking in a well.." is probably based of a Japanese proverb "A frog in a well knows nothing of the sea.." Mihawk calling out zoro for thinking that he can take him on. Zoro is like a frog who thinks the whole world is as big as the sky the frog sees from the well, not knowing his own limitations. basically it just "know your place" 😅

[@sleepyash0666]

It could be better if they didn't cut the part Zoro said "You heard that, King of Pirates?" to Luffy after he promise he won't lose to anyone again. It stuck on me the most because it shows just how much Zoro believe that Luffy gonna be King of Pirates and trust each other dreams.

I won't spoil, but if you know Arlong well and remember the Nami Arc well enough, and say the final episodes are remarkable, there's some rose tinted glasses at work.

And that's that Sanji should've been in this scene like in the og. Since he's basically given up on his dream, he should've witnessed Zoro facing his own head on and losing and yet still moving forward. Would've added a notch on why he'd want to join the crew later, seeing how Luffy inspires his crew.

[@creatingpulsars9979]

I really like the Garp/Koby b plot inclusion. I agree 100% that it works, it makes sense. I also think it will, if they do manage to get this far, will make season 4 or 5 much easier for them because with everything they’d have to get into that section of show? This take something very important off their plate without them excluding it. There are very small complaints I have about certain things. I don’t think syrup village needed two episodes. I think watching zoro climb a well an entire episode was a waste of his backstory, think it should have been interjected during the mihawk fight. And I don’t love that Luffy doubts himself at certain times but that’s a small thing, they probably did it just to make him a little less anime protagonist lol. I don’t mind overall. Some things were completely rushed through so the emotion didn’t hit as it should have BUT that’s almost unavoidable considering how much they had to establish, I bet my soul season two would be sooo good because they’d be able to focus more proegressing rhe story than set up so I am definitely on board for this show getting a good run. And I repeat the biggest change, I love. I really liked the Garp side plot.

[@Nasengold]

What you say about the way they tell the story is very true. When you watch the Anime, you can really tell that just one idea comes after another. I'm not a One Piece geek, I think I only watched 200 episodes or so when it freshly came out like 20 years ago but if I remember correctly, then these story arcs were never really connected. It's very typical for Anime. Oh we got this checked out? Now here comes the new objective or the new enemy. They introduce concepts after the prior one was fully explored. It just makes sense that they handle the live action series very different to that. It feels way more alive and believable this way. It's legit better than the anime.

[@vandara.0788]

One piece was the one anime I swore I would never start just because an anime that has over 1,000 episodes about a pirate kid never interested me. But seeing the enthusiasm and genuine love from the cast for the anime caught my eye enough to look forward to the live action.

They completely missed on Sanji's 2 MOST IMPORTANT motivators for joining the crew, and those are him witnessing Zoro vs. Mihawk and Zoro's pledge afterwards, and also Luffy's fight with Don Krieg. Without those 2 moments, Sanji joining the crew in this show is just because "these pirates have a job for me instead of this place."

[@kevinnosaurus793]

Agree also it makes his departure in the next episode is much much less emotional than in the anime. Baratie is the first big arc with such emotional drive in One Piece , but in here it felt drier compare to it. Not to say the LA did a terrible job or anything , I could understand why they did it the way they did and I think it's pretty decent. But Anime Baratie is far better.

[@troikas3353]

Nah, not at all. Trying to tie it to a fight is honestly almost willfully missing the point. Sanji's initiating incident here to break out of the comfortable stagnation of his life on the Baratie and pursue his dream to find the All Blue is just meeting Luffy, witnessing how strong Luffy cares for his crew and having that heart to heart with him about his dream. The fighting is incidental and ultimately unimportant as its not the violence that matters. Luffy just naturally pulling out the best in everyone around him, spurring them on to their dreams through the conviction with which he believes in and pursues for his own.. that is the pure core of One Piece and it's perfect that this is what brings Sanji on board.

[@nataliamarcosvidal958]

My one initial complaint was that some things they changed affected how each Straw Hat got to join the crew, so it felt like they were just putting Usopp and Sanji there just because. But I'm rewatching it now, and with rewatches comes the ability to focus on details. Maybe they changed a few things, like taking out Jango and giving Krieg his just desserts in the Grand Line rather than at East Blue, but they didn't change the Straw Hats. They each got to join and they each get to keep their selves, but they do it differently. Different doesn't mean worse. It just means different. And I love that this is a chance to relive One Piece in a different way but keeping everything that makes it One Piece intact. Edit: And yes, I'm a manga fan, and I love it. I loved it even with the one (1) complaint, and now I love it even more, I get the shivers at some scenes even though I've already watched the live action, so... And the non-fans I've watched it with love it too, so they definitely did a good job.

What is perfect about this Live Action is like y’all said WE already know all the little details, but it’s hard to talk my friends into 1000 episodes of the best show ever.

In this season, his arc is about Mind, he is learning that the world is not black and white, not even shades of gray, it is a multitude of colors and he needs a strong mind to accept that. Next season will probably be Body, of course very similar to the anime, he will need to become phisically strong in order to survive the Grand Line, and will have to deal with being used because of this strenght. I hope they get far enough to finish it with an arc about Spirit, where he forges his own sense of justice as he climbs up the ranks with unwavering determination.

I read some of one piece growing up and it wasn’t really for me. It was fine, but I am not a 1000 episode, 25 years of books kind of person. I am loving this. I think some of the backstories are in the wrong episodes, I love the way they have reimagined the story telling. Also! All of the quiet, friend building moments between the crew have my heart.

[@bonesmusic2751]

I agree with ruff on the point that they did it because they weren’t sure if they got a second season, but I think the majority of reactions were so good it kind of backfired for later season’s, because imagine if new fans found this out (I assume in the fourth season) later.

[@sifibruh7055]

Well remember that they learn about Luffy’s father in that scene so it doesn’t really ruin it.

[@atinkonic8585]

One thing I love about the Live Action is that they show more about other important side characters like the Garp taking helmeppo and Coby under his wing and training them together with his right hand man Bogart. Because the anime does the opposite, the more the characters seems important the less they show them for the mysterious effect. And also I can guarantee that This Dinosaur Island those two giants and Laboom will be included in the Live action. They may shorten it but it will be included for sure 😉

[@anony_meows]

i think what OPLA got right is that they made sure the show is first and foremost a good standalone show, after that they can start to pay respect to the original material. the pitfalls of other live actions is that they chose to follow the original material too close only to forget that they're a show on their own too. lots of sacrifices that hurt the cohesion of the story only because they wanted to copy a panel/a dialogue/a characterization as similar as possible.

[@R3_dacted0]

???? It's literally the exact opposite. When there is an adaptation, people genuinely want it to be as faithful as possible to the source material. That's the entire point. If it where physically possible, having it be 1:1 is what a majority of people would want to see and would result in adaptations being far, far, far more successful. But every single failed adaptation of an anime, manga, comic, game, etc has always done the same thing: tried to go in its own direction. They tried to run with the ideas and make something unique. _But that's not what an adaptation is._ People don't want to watch an adaptation of a story they love go and be completely disregarded in favor of some fanfic story that the writers thought was somehow better than what constituted the adaptation in the first place. If a story is there and it's so good that an adaptation is warranted, then literally rewriting anything automatically defaults it into being worse. One Piece has done a phenomenal job with this adaptation. Because not only does it stay incredibly faithful to the source material, but it does it without any extra "creative liberties" that the writers decide to tack on. It adjusts the pacing by moving story elements around and being creative with how characters interact... but nothing is necessarily "new" content. And that is why it is such a successful show.

[@anony_meows]

@@R3_dacted0 i think we're looking at 2 different directions here. you're looking at netflix's and overall western history of anime adaptations, death note, FMA, ghost in the shell, cowboy bebop, etc, where as i'm looking at the adaptations that japanese does, which is most of them: meitantei conan, bleach, AoT, mob psycho, JJBA, and the list goes on and on. i think our respective take on it, although the opposite, is correct when applied to each the scenarios that we were thinking. you were right, and so was i.

Yes, Oda originally planned it at 5 years with the 4 emperors. Adding the 7 sea lords was the first of many additions that drew the story out so long.

I really hope the show keeps going, I think they've nailed the live action adaptation so far and having Oda helping oversee the project with all of the things he's learned really shows in this. I wasn't really hooked in one piece anime nearly as much or as fast as I was hooked by this adaptation! (to the point that I'm probably going to watch more of the anime again)

SPOILER FOR THE TV SERIES: Sadly Usopp did not get his cannon shot in the show. It woud have been awesome though. Usopp and Sanji did get a bit less attention, but they have much less time too, which makes sense.

[@agenttheater5]

12:07 And he learned how to cook for the show as well. Hoping at some point (maybe when we get the Germa) we'll hear him speak Spanish - the actor, Taz Skylar, he's from the Canary Islands in Spain so he speaks Spanish fluently. His dad's Lebanese and him mum's from England so that's why he speaks English fluently as well (plus he was working in London for a few years before this show as well - starred in and co-wrote a play called Warheads that was performed off-West-End (like off-Broadway) and was nominated for an Olivier Award (Englands equivalent of a Tony Award). Mostly thinking we could fit Spanish into the Cake Island saga because they called Vinsmoke Judge 'Generalissimo' and that made me think 'Generalissimo Franco' of the Spanish Fascist party (the 66 symbols made me think of Fascist flags as well).

[@jean-wg1rk]

I think this is a good adaptation (I actually liked more this mihawk than the manga one) but in my opinion it lacks a lot of key character moments that make the manga so special

[@dutchielander2478]

Ngl, Zeff's stache is just *chefskiss* . No pun intended. Need more smoking Sanji tho. All great chef's are chainsmokers. He took one drag LOL.

[@HeraclesN-fp1bw]

- Sanji is played by while Taz Skylar who was also Walt in “The Lazarus Project”, Gin in “The Deal”, Billy in “Boiling Point”, & many more. Fun fact he & Zeff’s actor actual work together before having a father son relationship so this was perfect casting - Mihawk is played by Steven John Ward (who also is Mark in “Catch Me a Killer”, Ezra in “Triggered”, Chaz in “Vagrant Queen”, & many more) while his younger self in Roger execution is played by Theo Le Ray - Zeff is played by Craig Fairbrass who also is Eddie (Villian), Arkad (Stargate SG-1), Pat (Rise of the Footsoldier), & many more - Krieg (bounty 17,000,000 Berries / Yen = $ 115,008.62) is played by Milton Schorr who also is Burrell (Black Sails), Graham (Warrior), Mercenary (Tomb Raider), & many more - Patty is played by Brashaad Mayweather who also is Bmore (Summer with the Guys), Brown (Deep Blue Sea 3), Damion (The Coroner), & many more - Gin is played by Litha Bam who also is Bartok (Raised by Wolves), Ben (Warrior), & many more - Fullbody is played by Jean Henry who is also Arno (Diepe Waters) - Moody is played by Amber Hossack & she was also in Cut-Out Girls - “Cresent Moon” Gally is played by Nkulueko Phiri who also is Hlubi messenger (Shaka iLembe) which - Easter Eggs found in this Episode: - With the Going Merry’s railing getting broken by cannon balls reminds me that we don’t have Johnny & Yosaku ins’t here to fix it because this is the point in the Manga / anime when they appear - Garp uses his technique called Genkotsu Meteor / Meteor Fist where he throws a cannonball at an enemy ship - When entering the Baratie their outfits are from color spread: Luffy’s is from Ch.28, Usopp’s is from Volume 8 special, & Nami is wearing her outfit based on her Baratie arc & Ch.50 (minus the letters “WC”) which notice that the circles on her skirt con contain money like a pocket - Once they enter notice the paintings on the wall references Gaimon on the Island of Rare Animals, Sabaody, aGiant King Squid, a Sea Beasts from Fishman Island, Foolshout Island (Koala’s birthplace), & Kyuka Island - Sanji’s dish that he made is made of Elephant Bulefin Tuna which is the same dish from Sanji’s Cookbook & the fish that he buys in Lougetown that originates from the South Blue, & if you look on the kitchen wall references species from the One Piece world like a dinosaur & the panda shark - Sanji mentions Ithurzburger Stein a drink from Micqueot in the North Blue that Fullbody mentions when he ask for the wine from Sanji in the manga / anime, but then with the Straw Hats he mentions Umeshu a wine that Kureha drinks - Luffy ordering milk is a reference to Ch.1 when after Shanks gave him milk he was mock for being a kid - Koby just like Nami in Ep.1 mentions 77th Branch which is lead by Pudding Pudding - Notice that on the cannon ball Krieg shoots at Mihawk has his Jolly Roger, & after his defeat you can see another named member behind him named Pearl “the Invincible Shield” - The large drink that Usopp had notice it had Sea Kings painted on it - During the Ending Credits you can see that they have added the Baratie located in the Sambas Region

[@DiabloDave8605]

The more serious while still funny moments suits the live action better they don't need filler villains at this point. It's cool that some are present and that's fine, but a more direct serious route is building this version as a good pirate story for all viewers

What followed is Arlong Park, then comes Lougue Town, where we will meet Smoker. How would his power adapt to the live action? Also, the encounter with Buggy that we didn't have before. Buggy, Alvida and Smoker are all in Lougue Town before laving to the Great Line. Edit: I forgot another important character that appears in Lougue Town, Dragon.

I grew up with One Piece. Since when? Since the first manga was brought over here in English. Volume 1, back in high school, with Volume 2 not yet on shelves. I was waiting week to week for the next episode, when we were barely at episode 10. I have some small issues here and there with the live action, but overall I think they did a magnificent job with it and the changes were done intelligently.

[@8bit_paul]

[@Hawkcam1996]

24:20 No, that is absolutely *not* true. Overall, people like it. But what’s bugging people is not that they “changed stuff”, it’s that they left out *very* important character moments. For example, in the original Syrup Village arc, Usopp had time to shine. He actually got heroic moments, from inspiring the Usopp Pirates into protecting Kaya by, as Zoro put it, making running away sound cool, to showing his determination even after having his head bashed in and sniping Django. But in the live action version, he literally did nothing. He got the marines, but all the marines did was take Luffy for 5 minutes before vanishing until the Straw Hats left the island. He did absolutely nothing else. Another key moment that’s missing is Zeff’s speech about how Luffy is “a man without fear” which convinced Sanji that Luffy is a man worth following. Then there’s the first time a member of the crew calls Luffy the King of the Pirates, when Zoro pledges his loyalty to Luffy after losing to Mihawk. These are all important character moments that they could’ve easily written in, even *with* the changes. But for whatever reason, they chose not to. The fact that you disingenuously shrug off that criticism as “you’re just mad they changed things” speaks volumes about how you really feel about One Piece and this show.

[@sortastupid]

Sounds like you’re just mad they changed things

[@Hawkcam1996]

@@sortastupid Tell me you didn’t read a word I said without telling me you didn’t read a word I said. I said that what’s bugging people is *NOT* that they changed things. What’s bugging people is that they *LEFT OUT* key character moments. Those character moments could have still happened even *WITH* the changes. I don’t give a damn that they changed things. I liked almost all of the changes and feel indifferent about others. For example, I liked that they made Koby, Helmeppo and Garp recurring characters in East Blue. I also like that they connected the arcs together using Arlong as the main villain of the saga. But that doesn’t mean I can’t be annoyed that *THE MOST IMPORTANT MOMENTS FOR THE CHARACTERS* were left out. Usopp still could’ve had his heroic moments, even with the battle on the slope being replaced by the mansion. But he didn’t. Zoro still could’ve called Luffy the King of the Pirates(seriously, it would just take two seconds to add the line in to what we got). Again, it’s not because they changed things, it’s because they left out important moments. You think I care that Don Krieg was replaced by Arlong for Baratie? I don’t. I loved the live action show, but it is definitely *not* better than the anime because it didn’t have those important moments that defined the characters and made them more compelling.

I agree. After episodes 3 & 4, I pondered on whether or not I should finish it, but ended up continuing on with it.

I understand why people are saying everything went down in the perspective that the reason was because everything is now different. i have to adjust to the show both as a fan of one piece and the pov of someone who is new to one piece. but we have to remember that live action is a different medium than the anime and manga. the live action have the manga as a source material that they can work on with, and we don't know when the next live action will happened. so they have to be creative in dropping hints and adding and/or erasing moments or important info to accomplished this in 8 episodes. As the overall live action, it was great and a success. i loved it, especially the crew moments and the laughs are the best.
