They removed hachi who is a huge plot point in 2 future arcs
They can still introduce him in a diffrent way, like nami see him and help him(despite being a fishmen, a subtle charechter moment)
If he'll be back, assuming we will get to see Sabody, they'll either introduce him in flashback, possibly by being only nice person on Arlong crew to Nami.
That, or they'll excuse him by saying he went away to tend to seacows or something.
@@ibrahim5463So Nami is racist to Fishmen now. What do you mean DESPITE being a Fishmen.
@@Sadmattchoyou’re actually stupid
Honestly who knows if they'll even reach Sabaody. That's like... 7 years from now? At the soonest?

That's what I said 😂😂😂
It's a true Crime we will never see jango and full body's bromance in action 😔
They didn't animated it as well right?
Maybe we will
There is a good chance they will cut Hina out of the life action, too, and give her part in Alabasta to Smoker.
@@depressedbatmannthere are alot of animated scenes of jango and fullbody being under the pink haired female vice admiral or captain or whatever
@@lorenzrenner1866She's a captain before the time skip and a rear admiral after.
Doesn’t zeff literally tell sanji to watch luffy fight for the very reason that luffy will show him how to truly go after your dream?
Yup.
He does. It's a standout moment. Because until now, zeff had been giving off a vibe that he wasn't too fond of Luffy, but then this moment shows the opposite. He knows Luffys capacity. He was just being a dad being tough on Luffy. Plus Luffy taking responsibility showed zeff he wasn't just some stupid kid.
It was a moment that showed Zeff saw a grand line pirate in luffy. Zeff was an experienced pirate likely seeing people who are standouts. It is an important facts that the two people impressed by luffy are mihawk and Zeff who are pirate veterans
One of the things I have enjoyed about the live action is the number of people who decided to watch the anime afterwards and were pleasantly surprised at how good it is.
I am convinced live action is just a farce to make people watch the anime and anime is just a thing for people to read the manga
Tho not many talk about the huge percentage of that amount that immidiatly dropped the anime short after that.
When the live premiered, my wife and I were going to watch it but decided to watch the first couple episodes of the anime first. That was October or November. We finished the entire series last week. So I guess whether the live is good or bad is irrelevant as it served its purpose.
same, people starting the anime or manga because of live action makes me so happy.
I never watched anime in my whole life but i thought the live action was so good. So i wachted en read the whole of one piece in 4 months
They totally took the "I'll pay you with future treasure" thing from the first One Piece movie, where Luffy gave the owner of the traveling Oden restaurant an I.O.U. written on a rock.
He, Ace, and Sabo also dined and dashed as kids with Luffy leaving an IOU (chapter 585)
Considering luffies an emperor now, that rock is probably worth a fortune.
or when luffy was a child and told that to the barmaid, in which shanks replies don't try to scam the lady
Not having Sanji witness Zoro's fight with Mihawk was the one change to the series that I can't get over; it's important to Sanji's development, and it would have been so simple (and inexpensive) to have Sanji standing there watching.
Its Not Importent for Sanjis Development
I just want to see a live action Condoriano cameo.
Fr
G8 is 10/10 filler
Imagine them doing G8 despite it being anime filler
One can dream.
@@gtdc4685 the live action takes reference from all the materials like character outfits from covers and prototypes, so we can hope.
I feel like this problem was even more obvious in Arlong Arc. first by cutting hatchan which is important later on in shabondy . and also how they cut out that Nojiko, gonzo and the rest of the villager actually knew the truth about Nami and cut all their involvement in the fight.
there is also that scene when Nojiko explains Nami's backstory. while anime Luffy refuses to listen ,in Livaaction he listens to the story, which is why it comes off strange when Nami asks him you know nothing and he says I do. this goes against Luffy's character as he doesn't really care about someone's past only his present this is shown again later on in Fishman Island when he sleeps when Jinbe starts talking about his backstory.
I also didn't like that Nami witnessed the marines being racist to Arlong. Like that realization was a big moment for her in Sabody and they just rushed it for some reason. All they had to do was just not have her there when Arlong talked to Nezu but of course they just couldn't do that lol.
They DID plan out an entire fight scene for Hatchi and they even designed his character but they couldn't put it in because it proved too expensive for an already very expensive show
@@beanzarueasy cut out some garp/coby storyline that isn’t really that important.
@@beanzaru hence it's a money/time problem which is the point
@@demoneyez97 I actually agree with that. Garp was my least favourite in the live-action. The fight between him and Luffy felt unnecessary as well. I feel like they should have spent more time on Arlong Park instead.
I really hope they take their time for future arcs like alabasta. Many minor characters really add to the impact of the story
It's in the nature of any live action that you have to lose some minor characters if your cast is a vast as the one of One Piece.
@@f.carasind4188 Almost like you should never have tried.
@@sparxskywriter2589 that's bad way to approach it. "There's too many characters, so we should give up" is such quitter take.
One Piece is very much bloated with characters, in early story it was just more subtle, and Oda was more than happy to let some characters fade away after their few pages of significance. Also, crew being smaller helped.
It's inevitable that some characters will be cut or mashed together, some plot points will be changed, but as long as spirit of the original story is kept, and things happening makes logical sense, there is no issue here at all.
@@sparxskywriter2589 I know. Peter Jackson should really give back the Oscars for the Lord of the Ring movies and delete them from all streaming services.
@@f.carasind4188 gottem
I think the live action is leaning more towards the children going on a pirate adventure and then facing their first real roadblock with Arlong and Mihawk. Whereas in the manga, luffy and to a certain extent Zoro were kind of already overpowered and a little bit more mature. I mean look at Luffy's intro. He beats the monster that bit off shank's arm. Then shruggs off being shot at and kind of one-shotting all of alvida's crew. For all of east blue, I felt that he was a superman like figure who can basically overcome anything thrown at him. And he is responsible for his decisions and Shows that he understands his crew on an innate level. Whereas live-action luffy is a mere kid in a pirate cosplay out to make his dream come true. In baratie, Luffy has to learn a little bit about responsibility when Zoro is knocked out, something that manga Luffy kind of already knew. So, live action Luffy is much less, oh this captain who I want to follow to the earth's end but first he must learn some valuable lessons and more this audacious kid who hopes to dream. He is a little more Naruto-esque in that way. So, he has a lot more room to grow. I think that it's a different interpretation of Luffy and not necessarily a worse version.
I wouldn't call luffy mature.
But he definitely was way too strong for east blue. His first real struggle was Smoker, and to some extent Arlong.
Also, things Luffy learns here are things he learns in Manga as well. Whole water 7 was Luffy learning about responsibilities of the Capitan, that they're not just friends but a crew, and he needs to step up and make hard decisions.
Tho this lesson for him started all the way in Drum Islan where Vivi had to taught him that not everything can be solved with fists, and he will sometimes have to talk with others and ask for help.
So his character development was pushed earlier, not created out of nowhere. Which makes sense, I honestly feel like people working on Live Action honestly never thought they would get second season, or that it will blew this hard.
I didn't read what both of you wrote but I guess you are right👌
Luffy is way more mature in LA
He only starts to "grow up" after Ace's death
Luffy nearly dies againts arlong because he did something stupid. Really odd tyou compared him to superman.
Shame that Fullbody was reduced to a cameo and Jango never showed up. Hopefully Season 2 will rectify that issue.
I dont think we will get mr 5 and valentine
Or just completely skip them, which wouldn't be the worst. One Piece has too many characters for live action, and sometimes even for anime.
It‘s even more of a shame since there was a wanted poster for Jango at the start of episode 2 on a bounty board. (Could have been episode 3 or 4 as well, but I can‘t be assed to check.)
This leads to bon clay. How can they cut out bon clay? Impel down won't hit the same for sure. If there's no baroque works. They could still do alabasta without baroque works but thatll ruin impel down. They would surely cut the elbaf giants fight which means bon clay intro and valentine and mr5. Everyone. That also takes away one of usopps dreams. To visit that kingdom. Because why would he want to go if he hadn't bonded with the giants.
@VideoGamesMusicMe
Why are you acting like Bon Clay is already cut? I highly doubt he will as he is too important. It’s more likely Hina will be cut just like Fullbody and Jango and Bon Clay’s sacrifice and capture will just go to Smoker instead. Cause it doesn’t really matter who captures Bon Clay, it just has to happen by someone.
Alright so i'm gonna put this here and feel free to fight me about it: despite all the issues and cut stuff, the live action is still really good
Honestly, I agree with everything you said, but I also think I’m okay with Luffy maybe growing from “maybe I can’t beat you” to the anime “I’ll kick your ass no matter what” mentality he is known for over the next couple seasons of the LA. Luffy is primarily a static character in the manga, which works perfectly, but if they are trying to give a bit of character development where he goes from being less confident to gaining the confidence he has in the manga; I wouldn’t be against it if they do it right. They also may take these criticisms well in season 2 and tweak his quirks a bit to make him feel more like his usual confidence. Hope to see improvement in all these areas
The whole point of him being ridiculously confident when it comes to fighting his opponents is that all brought too our attention after marineford luffy fought harder than he ever had before breaking his limits multiple times and still lost
Although as you said if they do it right too have him build confidence and then have it completely crushed would be very impressive
This sucks. Sanjis recruitment and all the early crew stories were all paramount to the one piece world building. I still recall the Sanji fried rice scene after so many years because of how strongly it introduces his values. That entire arc was so good, one of the best early OP arcs.
I wonder if Ian McShane will appear in One Piece live action show's Season 2 by cameoing in his costume of Blackbeard from Pirates of the Caribbean among the crowd of people and pirates.
I mean he did narrate an ep so maybe.
He did? What episode is it?@@mmem4264
Luffy: A happy go lucky, truthful, simple-minded guy who does what he wants.
Zoro: A serious looking, faithful, honorable guy who cuts what he wants.
Sanji: A deep-minded, thoughtful, knowledgeable, intelligent, calm and well-mannered guy who kicks what he thinks should be kicked and maintains chivalry everytime.
Guess who's development they cut the most🥲. I swear Sanji just gets hated or put in the back for normal reason. Dude is the Clutch MVP. He has more clutches than any character. He knows what's important, does it, expects no praise from his captain (expects only from nami and Robin lol) and is chill as hell. If they cut his clutch in Alabasta Saga, there's gonna be cancellations
If they cut Sanji´s clutches in the Alabasta Saga, Luffy simply won´t make it any further than Alabasta
Guess that will happen if their budget won´t be enough lol
(I hope it will be though)
My guy, Sanji only starts going ham at little garden and alabasta. You know, arcs that haven't been adapted yet. His character development has not been snuffed. They did his introduction well
You might want to add asteriks to sanjis description considering half that goes out the window when women are involved. Also sanjis intelligence isn't really shown in the east blue.
Huh.. didn't even relieze that WAS fullbody at bartie, its been at least a decade since i read or watched east blue stuff and i geuinely forgot he was a character
Where are those 2 friends of zoro THATS IMPORTANT THEY ARE LIKE THE GOAT
#JusticeForJhonnyandYosaku
ZorBros
*Johnny and Yosaku* 😤😤😮💨
Wait Gally has a bounty of 5m? Doesn't the mountain bandit that got shanks eaten by a sea beast had a bounty of 8m? How does a mountain bandit that sticks to one island have a higher bounty then a actual pirate?
If we think about the fact he was in Windmill Village, that means he's on Goa Island, and there are ample opportunities to get into trouble with nobles in the big city. He probably crossed some random noble OR did a lot more horrible things than Gally did - murder, rape, kidnapping, etc. All it takes it doing the wrong thing to the wrong person to get a bounty much higher than it should be.
As always, bounties aren't solely rated on might, but also on how dangerous a person is and how much the WG wants them dead.
I wish the reduced the carp/coby storyline in half and worked more on the main strawhats arcs. It was a cool idea but it took so much time away from the main cast.
100%.. they could’ve launched some kind of spinoff show showcasing their time with garp or not at all
It's important to note that the live action characters deviate a lot to their manga characters to begin with: Manga Luffy went nearly unchallenged in the east blue as far as fair fights go, whereas live action Luffy met a match in Arlong same goes for the other Straw Hats more or less, different from the manga doesn't necessarily mean bad.
Plot Twist: Live action follows the bad timeline.
for me the live action gave me an idea of what one piece is as i first watched the live action and then started the anime and caught up in 6 months
As someone that hasn't watched all of one piece extensively, I really enjoy the live action!
I think it's a good show in it's own right, rather than just a live action of an anime/manga.
The main problem is that us long time watcher know how much these small cuts add up as the shows go on, many small character that appear in the east blue saga appear in the later part of the show, and not having them in here takes a lot of the emotional weight later on. heck even not adding a small make-up for sanji eyebrow takes a lot of great things that happen in the future.
Cope. It’s objectively an inferior product. You can’t make excuses for people realizing this and bringing it to light
@@roberto7288the anime is the inferior product compared to the manga but people still like that shit for some reason
Every character except Kuro. Even Morgan came back for a cover story.
I don't think Krieg or Gin were ever in a cover story were they?
Fullbody and Django in thumbnail= I must watch the video
I can agree. While I liked the live-action series and things got shifted from the manga into television to fit,the arc that felt rushed the most was Baratie which was one of the arcs that really got me fully involved when I started watching the anime which affected the next one. Hopefully that will not be too much of a problem in season 2
this is a fascinating study on just how important even minor characters are to One Piece as a story
I just rewatched the Sanji and Gin scene from the anime and realised that when Luffy decided to have Sanji join his crew, it's after Sanji helps Gin with a big smile on his face. Luffy responds with that classic Joyboy giggle and asks Sanji to join because he fits the role of cook on the crew of Joyboy perfectly, helping the less fortunate with a smile
He was interested in him a bit before that.
Send this vid straight to the showrunner
None of the stuff listed in this videoare things the show runner's had any control over.
Matt Owens HAD to make hard cuts.
I swear, you guys have the most unrealistic expectations ever. The fact that this series was as good as it is was an Eneru-forsakin miracle, and all you can do is nitpick the carp out of it.
@@roger_towny_jrpersonally I didn't need it to exist. Still don't. All it does is butcher the Manga and I can't watch it. Just awful for me. Glad some people enjoy it, but if it got cancelled tomorrow I wouldn't give a shit
@savage4242 It didn't "butcher the manga" dude. the manga still exists. Get over yourself. The worst thing this live action did was introduce the story to people who were too intimidated by the 1000+ episode count of the anime. New fans. Oh what horror.
But seriously was it so hard to maybe quickly do something like full body saying there’s a bug in his soup or at least the thing about the wine
I guess i'll just treat Live Action One Piece as a Demo Version of One Piece.
This way i won't boil like a lava while watching all the changed scenes.
The only thing you got incorrect in this video was that Johnny and Yosaku were actually introduced before Fullbody in the Baratie arc.
Thank you for all the videos getting me thru the break, much love ❤
Keep up the awesome work and videos Liam love the video
With the insane success of the first season. Hopefully the budget will be higher so cuts like these will be reduce
This was super well done imo. I strongly agree that time limits the LA story. I also feel budget and effects do too. The power lv is much much lower, and probably needs to be. Budget and time are OP
I wasn't expecting a video but i ain't complaining
Unfortunately even if you like the live action it will always be lesser because it simply can’t contain the same amount of information as the manga/anime.
Yeah they did wonders but adapting a work of such breadth was always going to be quite a task.
Of course, but like the noodle ads, it's still more One Piece stuff and just for that I can love it. Also, the cast are incredible and fun, and it's cool to see another rendition of the story being told in fun, new ways. On top of that, it's doing its job in drawing in new fans to try out the source material and honestly, that's a big win in and of itself. I can love both for different reasons.
With enough money anything is possible.
Love to see your videos
The break ends this week 🎉
Chore boy almost rhinest with joy boy
I always thought of that episode as a bus stop lol
I need a 3 episode long backstory for that fly fullbody put in the soup. Just imagine how strong he got during the timeskip
I’m only 3 1/2 minutes in so I might be jumping the gun… But certain Easter egg characters are worth more screen time than minor actual characters and I think most would agree. Gyari being the antagonist in one of the One Piece pilot chapters definitely deserves a nod, and if we have to make cuts, cutting Gaimon and Fullbody just makes sense. Very interested to find out if the rest of this video changes my mind.
After finishing the video, I agree that there are building blocks that were unfortunately left out, but did not need to be accomplished using the characters that were cut. In my opinion, there is no problem with cutting or reducing characters, but clearly there were subtle and not so subtle plot points that they still should have found a way to write in.
loved the blood splash at 10:08 hahaha
Man this three week break sucks huh love that ya got stuff in the meantime though
Lesss Go New video 🔥🔥🔥
Not to mention the long term repercussions from not having Hachi lol
Just say that Hatchi had left the crew. Or replace Hatchi with another Arlong pirate. This is not an actual problem if the solutions are this easy.
*_still_* can't believe they removed hachi from the series... so, *_now_* who's gonna apologize to nami and cause luffy punching a celestial dragon in the face?
That is why your just wasting your time watching that live action trash
I feel like they can still meet Cami without Hatchan.
@likom9813 Because one character is gone?
They can easily say that he left the crew earlier and have them meet him in Sabaory.
@@gtdc4685 then whats the point? How can nami forgive him if his not there in the 1st place. Dude lets just admit live action one piece is not good at all.
Hmmm... get a feeling that Little Garden will either be skipped or very brief.
I reckon, they might play catch up with characters supposed to appear earlier. So Hatchan will appear in Sabaody but either was never part of Arlong's crew or left it some time before.
It could be that Garp actually called Mihawk a week before the Straw Hats reached the Baratie, but they placed the scene out of chronological order for a better flow of the plot.
This is to be taken with a grain of salt.. right? Because I personally think the Live Action did really great capturing the feelings of the first arcs. Yeah, because of time constraints they had to mix up plot points, but for the general narrative, they did INSANELY well. I am caught up in One Piece, I’ve read the Manga AND watch the Anime, so I went into the show with a knowledgable mind. I see where you’re going, but like… yeah. Sorry for the paragraph and a half of stuff. (I be just ranting) ❤
they removed a lot.. right from the getgo, they completely changed Alvida
The true purpose of One Piece Live Action is to attract new fans to the manga/anime (current and future retelling) and merchandising. One Piece Merchandise has increased considering 4Kids hurt One Piece to the point that even despite Funimation fixing the dub the show wasn't as mainstream to be located in stores. This Live Action is Oda's extra spending money due to royalties, not to mention the lesser known actors'/actresses' careers will surely launch to higher roles in the future.
Hope they didn’t remove Toto in SS2.
What I do love though is how the Live Action is consistent in showing that LA Luffy is a very different (and arguably weaker) version of him. The way he fights, the way he acts, the learns, and the way he acquires his crew are all vastly different. One of the main takeaways that I got after watching the Live Action was that "this Luffy is INEPT". That may not be a bad thing if they gradually build him up throughout the Grand Line.
All the points of the video are still valid though. Luffy definitely got off too easy considering how he got his crew into deep shit.
I heard that "money" from Caleb Hammer.
I feel that if they cut down a little bit on the Coby and Garp side of the story in this episode especifically they could've fit all of this even to a minimal way
What If?
Live action one piece is an alternate universe where things don't go the same way 😮 and that's the reason why all of their facial features and suits don't match??
Can you please do a video with Ohara?
0:33 true, but that's different from existing for purpose. Also luffy doesn't say he can't beat arlong. He says maybe he can't beat him but he can destroy everything he's built.
Maybe there was actually a time skip somewhere in episode 6 of the live action, and Luffy had washed dishes for an year on the Baratie.
Awesome points! I feel a lot of the soul of Baratie was lost, sadly. I think OPLA did an amazing job. And I'm sure a lot of the changes made perfect sense logistically or in terms of budget. But from a narrative standpoint, imo, some of the changes make future of the story difficult. OPLA may become a quite different story by season 4 or 5 I think, which isn't bad thing necessarily, could still be very interesting and well done. You make amazing points about how much was lost or changed, and how just reducing Full-body had a snowball effect. Some of the lines from Zeff to Sanji and about Luffy, were some of the strongest dialogue in the early story imo. I missed Hatchan and Momoo the most, but I'm sure they were cuts that made most sense for production, but sting narratively imo
One thing season 2 could improve is having 10 episodes like originally planned for season 1 instead of 8
I wonder if Don Krieg will be at the beginning of season 2 to open it up with a bang
Agreed with most of what u stated in the video concerning the OPLA short-comings mainly just due to the time and money needed to tell the real OP story. However just to highlight Sanji's decision to join Luffy in the LA some points i noticed weren't mentioned in the video:
1. Luffy encouraged Sanji to go after his dream
2. Sanji saw Luffy's dedication to being the chore boy where he cud have ups and left at anytime
3. Sanji saw Luffy's care and concern for Zoro wen he was severely injured
4. Sanji saw Luffy standing up for the Baratie (even tho Arlong did beat him)
So while the manga had more substance to Sanji joining...the LA still did enough for me to make it believable that he did
I wouldn't exactly call them problems tho. Or at least privlems that need fixing. It is an adaptation.
Some things are necessary to be changed, and so far i don't feel like anything is bad really. We have same spirit of the story following just slightly different events. Like alternative universe where a lot of things are different, but outcome is pretty similar because people involved are still themselves. It is difficult task, but I'm not worried yet. So far Live Action has proved they know what they're doing, even if they change things in significant way.
Later down the line it might bite them in the ass (Imagine Oda suddenly deciding that Gaimon is now man marked by flames lmao), but i honestly feel like no one is honestly expecting this thing to last till the end of story, and everyone involved is just here to see how far they can go into adapting the behemoth of a tale that is One Piece before Netflix will inevitably can it for tax write off
True, sad, illuminating. Thanks!
I assume they cut out the don kreig thing because they thought sanji would have another character arc on whole cake to look into his past and so, if we absolutely have to remove a core arc, we'll remove the don kreig one
'Seems significantly watered down'
That's the entire LA One Piece, unfortunately.
Let's go! New vid ❤❤
for a few i'm not too bummed out about them being shelved(compared to hachi where it really will need a huge change to handle that unless he's introduced early or arlong missing part of it's bite when he could've took the spot of krieg whose superfluous outside that & gin who they could've made a person that got ransacked.) but do think with how it's popularity gave it legs the live action takes it's time more now that it can breath.
It is possible that Mihawk was whittling down Krieg's Fleet for a week as he tracked down Krieg who was using his other ships in his fleet as shields from Mihawk. Ghin did act as a decoy in the manga/anime so it'd make sense he survived whilst buying Krieg a week but ultimately knows it's inevitable.
We got GrandLineReview saying „Schadenfreude“ before gta 6
Another thing I really missed was the cold/boring farewell between Sanji and the Baratie.
i still dont see why would he recruit usop in live action as he havent done anything and why would sanji join him awell and zoro joining is also kinda weird but sure it makes a bit sense here :-)
Live Crocus "I don't have the time or money to answer you, go that way."
They traded sanji's development for the having coby and helmeppo's journey with the marines. The real problem is that the network limits the series to 8 episodes max. If they had 10 episodes they could've fit more baratie without spending much more because the entire set was already built and also make the arlong appearance have more development and substance too by using the se physical set more.
This series really needed 10 episodes to be just perfect with their desicions to focus so much on garp
Very true. The marine story is unnecessary. Wish they would’ve cut that out and followed the manga more closely
Best they could? The restaurant Fullbody and Gin scenes could have been done traditionally w/ little changes to the story w/o taking up that much time. Maybe cut the fly in the soup, and just have Fullbody dump it on the floor or something.
Speaking of cut characters, I wanna know what they're gonna do about Hachi. I understand _why_ they removed Hachi from the live-action, but I'm really curious and a bit worried for how they're gonna deal with his role in Sabaody Archipelago and Fishman Island.
Doubt they’re even going to get there
Matt Owens has already addressed this. They would just explain that Hatchi is one of the Arlong pirates and he had left the crew at some point. Easy.
I wonder if Gin will return to story
While you make some good points, as far as Luffy being ready for the Grand Line, I would counter that even in the manga we can't be sure he is at that point. Yes, he beat Don Kreig, but all that shows is that he is more ready to face the adversity ahead than Kreig was. Kreig washed out after a week on the Grand Line, so it is entirely possible that someone could be at him yet still not be ready for the Grand Line itself. That was my takeaway after reading Baratie. The only thing that finally proved to me that Luffy was indeed ready for the Grand Line was actually reaching the Grand Line and seeing Luffy not only survive but actually thrive and grow as he progressed through it. I mean, Kreig was put down by Mihawk and forced to run back to the East Blue with his tail between his legs. For Luffy to truly demonstrate at this point that he is ready for the Grand Line would have been NOT beating the failure (Kreig), but beating the one who caused him to fail (Mihawk), and that doesn't happen, even in the manga. I think that is what the live action was going for. The only way to prove you're able to survive the Grand Line is to survive the Grand Line (or at least to take down one of the major threats that makes the Grand Line so dangerous). Kreig WAS a major threat to Luffy at that point in the story, but he was most decidedly NOT a Grand Line level threat. So, in my mind, the audience SHOULD be left questioning whether Luffy is up to the challenge ahead, and the omission of the fight against Don Kreig helps set that up. The key point of Baratie as it relates to the Grand Line is that Mihawk singlehandedly destroyed a whole fleet that tried to enter the Grand Line prematurely and the Strawhats were unable to beat him. That is still our big takeaway in the live action. The manga muddies the waters by throwing Kreig into the mix so some people see Luffy beat him and suddenly believe, "Oh wow! Luffy beat that guy so he MUST be ready for the challenges of the Grand Line!" In reality, that's like saying Joe challenged a chess grand master and lost, I beat Joe, so I would definitely be able to beat the grand master. It doesn't work that way. If I beat the guy that BEAT the grand master, THEN you could pretty safely infer that I could probably beat the grand master, but beating someone that lost to them doesn't tell you anything about how ready I am to face the grand master, especially if my victory over that failed challenger was a very narrow one. That just says I'm BARELY better than this guy that lost to the grand master.
Cope
I cant bring myself to watch the live action for precisely these reasons, I am worried of being massively disappointed with the character developemenet they didn't work on😢
Give it a chance, live action needs to stay Alive because it s the reasson why I became huge One Piece fan
@@danielsmid3777 I can't, If you start with the live action then move the manga/anime, I guess its logical. But I would've much prefered they take their time and do it right. I've waited this long to get to where we are in the manga, what's a couple years to get a solid 3-4 seasons of proper material made for the entire East Blue saga. I'm sure there are many hardcore fans thats work in the industry of film production, and wouldve been more than glad to help, and probably free sometimes, with the developement of the effects, just to be able to say they were a part of it...
Maybe they avoided Sanji watching Zoro fight because imagine his only true inspiration to chase his dreams being Zoro... that would've been hilariously awful. The show runners probably decided it was better not to give him anything than to half-ass it into something that would've kinda blown up in their faces later
They did my boy so dirty
Honeslty the live action just feels like test ground for people to get into the anime/manga than something that can stand for itself
Yeah, basically what I've been saying is that I'm happy for those who enjoyed the live action series, but my thoughts on the series comes down to two things;
A.) This is the best live action adaptation of any anime or manga
B.) This is not One Piece, and I have no plans on watching season 2
In the same way but much quicker netflix destroyed witcher. At the end of first season there is a scene when Geralt and Ciri meet each other and fall into hug and its supose to be emotional etc. But it is not bc they never meet before. At this stage Geralt literally didnt know who dafaq it is. And Ciri who spend last few episode running away from armed men jump on to random armed man that she never saw before. And all of that bc they remove whole Geralt-Ciri arc in brokilon.
I can't get to the your merch store marinara linked to the store
I really thought you were gonna talk about hachan
Ayyyeeee new one piece content!!!
And people say East Blue is not well written.
The live action was horrendous to me. I feel like they made it not expecting to go very far. Which is why there are so many problems and inconsistencies.
Hindsight being a thing, I believe the better cut would've been to Syrup Village, and instead it felt like we got a pseudo-extension to the arc. I'm not saying it would've been easy, but perhaps the crew could've stumbled upon the Going Merry on Orange Island and sailed straight to Baratie, skipping Syrup Village entirely. Events play out as in the manga, to the point where Luffy has become a chore boy, and there maybe he meets Usopp who is also working as a chore boy after erroneously leaving Syrup Village and winding up on the Baratie before his boat sank, and he's now working to earn money to return, but Usopp takes a liking to Luffy and later sneaks aboard the Going Merry (to hide from the fight against Krieg, display his cowardice) which they don't realize until they're halfway to Conomi Islands. Give the time spent in Syrup Village--which ultimately doesn't have as strong of an impact on the greater story beyond the addition of Usopp and the Going Merry--to Baratie which does have a big impact.
Wait that image of full body was the live action I thought it was like 3D model or Ai art
Now that I think about it, this was either early haki (even before Zoro), or Luffy's fruit doing it's thing. Can't believe Oda was this willing to break logic then, and we bought it.
Bro really used Garling's silhouette for crescent
Im still waiting on Gin's comeback
So... No one remembers that Hachi actually appeared in the live-action, as a cameo...
