They didn't change Gol D Roger's name to Gold Roger for the live action. You're just not supposed to know that at this point in the story. It's just that in the beginning of One Piece he was only known as Gold Roger until you get to a certain point in the story it's revealed his name is actually Gol D Roger. There is a in story reason for it that is a spoiler.
Spoiler, sorta... I'd have to double check to be sure, but I was under the impression the reason he's known as Gold Roger is because the navy specifically refers to him that way assumably to draw less attention to the will of D which they sorta fear... As the crew hasn't met anyone who knows better yet, they would likely be unaware. Propaganda 101...
Regarding why they call Him Gold Roger to begin with, the same thing happened in the anime. It isn't revealed that his name is Gol D. Roger until way later into the story. In fact, if I remember correctly, you're still in the Little Garden Arc, and his name isn't revealed as Gol D. Roger until Drum Island, many episodes after, so even your knowledge about it probably comes from somewhere else, since at the point of the story you are at that reveal still hasn't happened yet.
Nerdy's giddy excitement and Clarous's bewildered confusion is exactly what I wanted from this. I agree with you Nerdy. It's such a brilliant adaptation. There's a lot of great decisions and they nail the tone and little details. The casting is incredible. I loved every episode, and I hope you do to. As for why it's called "the One Piece" as far as I know only the English version of the opening has Roger call it that. In every other version, it's kinda vague why everyone calls it that. I don't blame you getting confused. I thought he called it the One Piece in the anime opening too.
25:03 there are like 4 versions of Roger's execution in the anime itself , so in the later versions they show shanks, mihawk and other characters watching the execution. Many people got inspired from Rogers words and became pirates.
For example, it only became known much later that Buggy and Shanks were members of Gol D. Roger's crew! That's why they weren't seen at the execution at the beginning of One Piece!
Be aware that this 8-episode series has managed to convince a good many to actually begin their journey through the anime. Let's see where Clarus is at it's end.
@@Shadow-fb2ec it's not a spoiler, it's a different adaptation of a story. Spoilers reveal things too soon, adaptations don't owe it anyone to do things the way you initially absorbed it and that's not the same as a spoiler
I love Nerdy's reaction to watching One Piece anime and now the LA. Let's go. Seeing him so excited watching the LA makes me smile and excited with him. So eager for upcoming LA episodes. But I feel bad for the great spoiler coming ahead even Nerdy is on episode 7x in anime. Anyway, still a joyful ride I speculated.
I’m glad y’all enjoyed this! As a huge OP fan(I just got caught up last week after YEARS) I LOVED how they managed to capture the essence of the AniManga and didn’t shy away from the silliness. The production design and Hair & Makeup team KILLED it. Of note, you’re gonna notice some WILD footwear, and apparently it’s because Netflix rules forbid open toed shoes on set for liability reasons. Hence Iñaki Godoy not having Luffy’s iconic simple Sandals. Also Zoro’s Actor Mackenyu was also in a Ruroni Kenshin adaptation I believe and uh….is Sonny Chiiba’s Son, yes, THAT Sonny Chiiba
The thing I love the most about this is him basically getting to experience how we viewers feel when we watch the anime OP reactions. It's SO precious how he smiles knowingly when she asks questions he knows the answers to but won't spoil 🤭❤
Gold Roger never said “One Piece” in his speech. The treasure came to be known that through people referring to it as such. One Piece (WAN PISU) is actually said in English so the dub tried to do something funny with him, actually saying the words. But i’ve interpreted it as the legend of his treasure’s name that was given by the people searching for it.
It's also very likely created by the media (as in, the news ppl). In much much later arcs we see how embellishments by the media lead to the creation of misconceptions and legends
Only in (some versions of) the English dub. In the Funimation dub he says "one place". In the original japanese he just says he 'left everything there' (soko ni oitekita)@@idoorion9279
The gold roger is actually somewhat accurate. The Marines call him Gold Roger to hide the fact of the D... IDK where you are in the anime now, so I don't wanna spoil much, but the D is important.
At last, the time has come for the Nerdy Nightly OPLA reactions! As a longtime OP fan, I found the spin they did for the Live Action very enjoyable (though there are a few things I took issue with, but we'll get to that in another reaction). Reminded me of watching Xena, Sinbad, and Hercules back in the late 90's/early 00's. Already getting a kick out of your excitement, and Clarus' confused reaction to your excitement, lol.
I love how much Nerdy is into the whole episode and Clarus is sitting next to him, being so confused about his excitement. xxD Let's hope Nerdy is right and the live-action will get Clarus so hooked on One Piece that she will want to watch the anime. ;)
love how Nerdy knowing context is just him getting so giddy about so much. But I will say though, little bits here and there that may seem changed is because they come from the manga instead of the anime as well as added bits here and there since its working off 20 years of material.
I have to say - the live action version was my first exposure to the series and I really love the show. It's a great series with a great story and I already can't wait for Season 2.
I cant tell you how much joy i get when i see another grown ass man like myself act like a kid same as i do to One Piece 😂😂 love you my brother much blessing in this new year to you and family.
Just a note but Yasopp always had just a headband with his name, never a tattoo. Also as others said until episode 90 or 91 of the anime they only use the name as "Gold Roger" and its the name in his bounty poster, but his real name is Gol D. Roger is first used at those episodes (and there is a reason for it way later). Also the scene of Roger execution is closer to what we know way later as in the manga/anime with Mihawk, Shanks, Buggy (and others) are know to be there at that moment, however when it was first animated (aka where you are now) that information was not know. There is a lot of other things like that because the producers are huge fans (and Oda did help a lot in the project) so they could use current information to make the world more accurate. Like the bounty wall in this episode was various references. Another example is the scene where Luffy eats the Devil Fruit as they went back and changed a prompt due to the latest chapter at the time making it a great easter egg
Nerdy, if you had waited to complete at least 400 or 500 episodes of one-piece anime and then started to watch live-action, then you would have gotten way more easter eggs than what you have gotten right now. Easter eggs are everywhere in the live action from music to wanted posters to even random character mentions. But anyway hope you enjoy this.
I think the Anime version makes more sense, personally. Shanks wouldn't want to let that treasure out of his sight for a second. He just didn't expect Luffy to BLOODY EAT THE DAMN THING IN A SECOND
You are gonna have SUCH a good time with this series. I only saw so much of One Piece, but this series does it all justice. I've NEVER seen a better live-action adaptation of a manga/anime. You'll probably pick up on more easter eggs than I can.
Two things made me very sad here: that we aren’t gonna get the next episode for a week, and that they totally edged us on choosing the algorithm goddess. WHICH ONE IS IT NAMI OR ALVIDA WE NEED TO KNOW! :D
@Nerdy: one thing I think you may not have picked up on is that Garp is the officer overseeing Roger's execution, since his name isn't mentioned in the scene, you're still used to thinking of him in the anime as wearing the face-obscuring dog hat from the Kobymeppo cover story, and he doesn't show up again until the end of the episode, looking a fair bit different due to it being nearly a quarter century later (so it's entirely plausible you wouldn't connect him back to the guy in the prologue and realize it's the same character). Personally I think this is a brilliant change vs having it be just some random marine, though to fully explain why would be a bit of a spoiler.
24:30 Noo! Dude, that's a spoiler! He's always been called "Gold Roger". We don't actually learn that he shares Luffy's middle initial and that the letter "D." has hidden relevance until what's probably gonna be in season 2 of this show.
Man with beard (Nerdy?) is adorable-and I mean that in an honest, non-demasculinizing way. Despite being emotively muted (in comparison to him), I agree with the majority of his takes. Switching gears, I’m also impressed by the keeness of the woman with red hair (Clarus?). She gives off ASD vibes with the tree-for-the-forest and similarly muted emotions-so like me-and yet, (despite having seen this show upwards of ten times) she has spied things I have never. That keenness of flawed-or-odd details is a money-making skill in the right context.
20:52 Didn't catch the liquid not shifting, what got me is that Vincent Regan is still standing straight relative to the floor. Minor details in an otherwise amazing first episode!
Now you know how Luffy got his scar under his eye. The Anime is great but it omitted A LOT of things from the original Manga that this Live Action version kept in. The Live Action version also added a lot of nods and references to Oda's work.
I never really watched or read One Piece even though I've been an anime fan for over 20 years, I had an absolutely wonderful time watching the Live Action and I don't know if I'll have time to catch up on the source material but I've been seriously considering it after seeing how much love was poured into the live action series
I tried watching the OP anime at one time and had trouble getting into it, but then the Live action came along and I loved it. So much so that it helped me get back into the anime. I skipped forward in the anime to where the live action left off and now I'm hooked and am now arriving at Alabasta. I am binge watching to keep just ahead of Nerdy's reactions to the anime.
Gol D Rogers name was revealed later yes, but also his Last name is Gol and his First name is Roger. SPOILER: Just like Monkey D Luffy and Monkey D Garp share a last name. And Monkey D Dragon does as well. Ace therefore would have been Gol D Ace.
Yeah man, I absolutely loved every minute of every frame of this adaptation. I think we've all said at some point or another 'it just needed more episodes' for so many shows now, and I think this adaptation in particular, demonstrates the cope in that for all of us. Would this have been better with 10 or 12 eps? Of course. But the fact it was 8 didn't mean this had to be shit story telling like so many others that we make excuse after excuse for. It's amazing what happens when you get writers who clearly prioritise adapting the existing characters personalities and narrative arcs, and not inject their own bs into it for whatever reason. This was a joy, an absolute treat amongst a pile of disrespectful dogshit last year - cant wait to see the rest of your reviews!
Generally, when we like something and we are passionate about it, we like to show it to the people we live with the most. But I don't know, you have to accept the same when other people are not interested or only want to please you.I'm not saying this so that anyone gets offended or to bother the girl, on the contrary If not the fact of understanding that well she is not interested in the show and that is fine, That's why bro, I think, in my humble opinion, you should enjoy the show alone This way you can get much more excited and I know you will enjoy the show more, thanks for the reaction
I've watched a lot of the cast interviews for this show, its very apparently that they're all super fans of the anime and that comes through so much in their acting in the show. THey were very worried about not doing the show justice.
Netflix fkukked up my favorite moment. When Koby asks Luffy if he can be a Marine. Luffy said" How would I know". Given the rythm and the fast pace Koby decided for himself, rather than make a promise to some one else
Good thing they have such a healthy relationship so we get also the first time reaction by his women ,just joking. At least she knows now hoe much her husband loves nami 😂😂😂
never seen the show before. watched the entire live action series and loved it. then watched the first few episodes of the original and loved it even more seeing how well they adapted it.
whoops, you mentioned the live action being adapted from the anime, but the anime itself is an adaptation from the Manga. To be clear, this show and the anime are on the same footing. The manga is the source material. I think this is important to distinguish because MOST people starting the Live Action start with "I wonder what this _adaptation_ has ruined or not ruined", using *adaptation* like it's the only thing that matters, not fully realizing the anime is also an adaptation and it doesn't get flack about it. The *story* of one piece is being told again. The only real *adapting* going on is the change of format, which changes a lot automatically. Just like how the anime was changed to be slower paced to fit the "Saturday morning cartoons weekly episode" format. This show is the _story_ of One Piece suited to real actors and live sets. So...emphasizing _adaptation_ is just us giving flack where zero flacks need to be given. Let us give zero flacks and judge the show on its own merit and stop emphasizing that it's adapting something because that is criminally obvious anyway. I have spoken 🧙♂ -- rando on the internet
Gold Roger is his nickname, whereas Gol D. Roger is his name. But just like the adaptation, he's introduced as Gold Roger. Also, I have no idea what you're talking about with Yasopp. He doesn't have a tattoo. He's always been shown w/ a headband with his name on it.
I think "alias" is more applicable to Roger's situation than "nickname". It's not an alternate name his friends call him, but one the world at large knows him by in lieu of his actual name.
I look forward to Nerdy's OP videos every week, hope you enjoy a second ride together! This is going to be interesting with one of you knowing the plot. And I wouldn't mind if Clarus decides to catch up and join OP if she likes the vibes 😊
The Live Action is more about seeing the world of Op and the characters in real life settings, given ODA personaly handpicked the actors, meaning if they were real this is who they would be so its amazing for the fans just to see the characters come to life, ODA said if Luffy was from our world he would be Brazilian, but the actor for luffy is Mexican so it still fits, it was my ddream to play luffy so seeing another mexican play him is like hes' carrying on my will!
I love the difference in your reactions to the series. I love one piece and seeing you is a treat! Thank you for the entertainment and the following episodes!
Nerdy being excited at spotting young Shanks while Clarus not noticing the hype is exactly how me (OP fan, caught up with the manga) and my wife (no exposure to OP) watched the Live action
Woooo been waiting for this reaction for a while! Huge kick seeing how giddy Nerdy is as he compares the adaptation to the anime src he is familiar with. Clarus looks pretty whelmed so far, like she is humoring Nerdy, but it's a really fair point how breakneck the pace is. Will be fun to see if the characters grow on her.
I haven't made it very far yet, but I love how your wife is just staring at the screen with an expression that shouts 'what the hell did I sign up for?!'.
So glad you guys posted this, I probably wouldn't have watched the show otherwise. Knowing nothing of the story other than what it's based on, watched ep. 1 and it was the most ridiculous yet enjoyable episode of TV that I have seen in a long time! Agree with everything Nerdy said, esp. about Luffy's interaction with his "crew", his wonder and encouragement. Just makes yeh feel good 😊 Also like the way, so far, that they have written Nami, not a "girl boss" but very competent and capable within realistic ways. Fun show, looking forward to the rest.
Its funny to see you so hyped and giddy, because you already got a connection to the characters. And the difference of your wife next to you I hate what they did with garps character in the live action
5:13 @Clarus, this story doesn't take place on Earth, but on a different world that is as large as the sun and it's mostly ocean. The sooner you accept that fact the better it'll be for you and the story =)
A lot of the outfits the crew wear are taken from cover pages and concept art - Nami's outfit in her first appearance was based on the original design for her where she used an axe. The team making this really did their homework on the details.
Well, I've been watching the One Piece anime since episode 1 (so over 20 years) and I started reading the manga shortly after that. My girlfriend has never been interested in it, but has accepted that I watch anime like this! I hate the live action because there was too much changed and it just doesn't fit! Recently my girlfriend told me she watched the live action (all 8 episodes) and thought it was ok. I was so surprised that she watched it and thought it was ok! Apparently the live action seems to be just right for people who don't really know One Piece. At least as an introduction!
Chaotic is fine for a story so long as it is also coherent and understandable. There's a major difference between absurdist fantasy and just a jumbled mess.
That clown reminds me of the villain in this insane movie by Bobcat Goldthwait called "Shakes the Clown" about an alcoholic clown and his buddies. It includes a cameo by Robin Williams and a bunch of clowns beating up mimes 😂😂
This show is so great -- I started it over thanksgiving with my parents -- none of us had any previous One Piece experience (beyond me having been deep into Anime like 20 years ago, and being shocked to see "the stretchy pirate anime" was still going somehow) and we all loved it

Gol D Rogers name was revealed later yes, but also his Last name is Gol and his First name is Roger.
SPOILER:
Just like Monkey D Luffy and Monkey D Garp share a last name. And Monkey D Dragon does as well.
Ace therefore would have been Gol D Ace.
I believe the author of One Piece said he chose Luffy’s actor because he made him laugh like Luffy would - love it.
Luffy is about as stealthy as a Blender full of BOLTS
I can't wait to see Nerdy's reaction to Garp, especially as he knows nothing about him.
10:32 To be fair your accent can change depending on environment so it's possible to lose or gain different accents throughout life.
Fashionably late, but glad to see you here.
guys, he called Luffy ‘Lucy’ by mistake 😂🎉
I noticed 😂
Yeah man, I absolutely loved every minute of every frame of this adaptation. I think we've all said at some point or another 'it just needed more episodes' for so many shows now, and I think this adaptation in particular, demonstrates the cope in that for all of us. Would this have been better with 10 or 12 eps? Of course. But the fact it was 8 didn't mean this had to be shit story telling like so many others that we make excuse after excuse for. It's amazing what happens when you get writers who clearly prioritise adapting the existing characters personalities and narrative arcs, and not inject their own bs into it for whatever reason. This was a joy, an absolute treat amongst a pile of disrespectful dogshit last year - cant wait to see the rest of your reviews!
Generally, when we like something and we are passionate about it, we like to show it to the people we live with the most. But I don't know, you have to accept the same when other people are not interested or only want to please you.I'm not saying this so that anyone gets offended or to bother the girl, on the contrary If not the fact of understanding that well she is not interested in the show and that is fine, That's why bro, I think, in my humble opinion, you should enjoy the show alone This way you can get much more excited and I know you will enjoy the show more, thanks for the reaction
If you’re only 75 anime episodes in, this live action season will cover much more than you’ve gotten so far
Thinking he made a mistake by calling him Lucy.
Laughing in Birdcage
I've watched a lot of the cast interviews for this show, its very apparently that they're all super fans of the anime and that comes through so much in their acting in the show. THey were very worried about not doing the show justice.
That Lucy lapsus is mental when you think about it.
The "hot clown" comment really made me laugh, Buggy is definitely something else here if you're into it :D
Netflix fkukked up my favorite moment. When Koby asks Luffy if he can be a Marine. Luffy said" How would I know". Given the rythm and the fast pace Koby decided for himself, rather than make a promise to some one else
Yeahhhh!! I was waiting this forever! I'm so happy you liked it, it's a great adaptation!
Yes he does! Those kinds of Devil Fruits also affect clothing that is touching their skin!
Good thing they have such a healthy relationship so we get also the first time reaction by his women ,just joking.
At least she knows now hoe much her husband loves nami 😂😂😂
never seen the show before. watched the entire live action series and loved it. then watched the first few episodes of the original and loved it even more seeing how well they adapted it.
whoops, you mentioned the live action being adapted from the anime, but the anime itself is an adaptation from the Manga. To be clear, this show and the anime are on the same footing. The manga is the source material. I think this is important to distinguish because MOST people starting the Live Action start with "I wonder what this _adaptation_ has ruined or not ruined", using *adaptation* like it's the only thing that matters, not fully realizing the anime is also an adaptation and it doesn't get flack about it.
The *story* of one piece is being told again. The only real *adapting* going on is the change of format, which changes a lot automatically. Just like how the anime was changed to be slower paced to fit the "Saturday morning cartoons weekly episode" format.
This show is the _story_ of One Piece suited to real actors and live sets.
So...emphasizing _adaptation_ is just us giving flack where zero flacks need to be given. Let us give zero flacks and judge the show on its own merit and stop emphasizing that it's adapting something because that is criminally obvious anyway.
I have spoken 🧙♂ -- rando on the internet
Gold Roger is his nickname, whereas Gol D. Roger is his name. But just like the adaptation, he's introduced as Gold Roger.
Also, I have no idea what you're talking about with Yasopp. He doesn't have a tattoo. He's always been shown w/ a headband with his name on it.
I think "alias" is more applicable to Roger's situation than "nickname". It's not an alternate name his friends call him, but one the world at large knows him by in lieu of his actual name.
I look forward to Nerdy's OP videos every week, hope you enjoy a second ride together! This is going to be interesting with one of you knowing the plot. And I wouldn't mind if Clarus decides to catch up and join OP if she likes the vibes 😊
The Live Action is more about seeing the world of Op and the characters in real life settings, given ODA personaly handpicked the actors, meaning if they were real this is who they would be so its amazing for the fans just to see the characters come to life, ODA said if Luffy was from our world he would be Brazilian, but the actor for luffy is Mexican so it still fits, it was my ddream to play luffy so seeing another mexican play him is like hes' carrying on my will!
She represents the brain and he the heart when watching this show 😂😂
I love the difference in your reactions to the series. I love one piece and seeing you is a treat! Thank you for the entertainment and the following episodes!
Nerdy being excited at spotting young Shanks while Clarus not noticing the hype is exactly how me (OP fan, caught up with the manga) and my wife (no exposure to OP) watched the Live action
17:14 that's an amazing slip of the tongue
5:39 in the video, she's already regretting watching it HAHAHHAHA
Woooo been waiting for this reaction for a while! Huge kick seeing how giddy Nerdy is as he compares the adaptation to the anime src he is familiar with.
Clarus looks pretty whelmed so far, like she is humoring Nerdy, but it's a really fair point how breakneck the pace is. Will be fun to see if the characters grow on her.
I love the dynamic of both reactions!! 😂 the person who have seen the anime and the one who hasn’t.
I haven't made it very far yet, but I love how your wife is just staring at the screen with an expression that shouts 'what the hell did I sign up for?!'.
So glad you guys posted this, I probably wouldn't have watched the show otherwise. Knowing nothing of the story other than what it's based on, watched ep. 1 and it was the most ridiculous yet enjoyable episode of TV that I have seen in a long time! Agree with everything Nerdy said, esp. about Luffy's interaction with his "crew", his wonder and encouragement. Just makes yeh feel good 😊 Also like the way, so far, that they have written Nami, not a "girl boss" but very competent and capable within realistic ways.
Fun show, looking forward to the rest.
Its funny to see you so hyped and giddy, because you already got a connection to the characters. And the difference of your wife next to you
I hate what they did with garps character in the live action
5:13 @Clarus, this story doesn't take place on Earth, but on a different world that is as large as the sun and it's mostly ocean. The sooner you accept that fact the better it'll be for you and the story =)
Please don't let the length of the anime deter you! It's really REALLY good!
Casually Bink's sake melody in the background, yohohohoho!
What impressed me is that they were confident enough to adapt as much as they did, and what they changed was sometimes better than the anime.
A lot of the outfits the crew wear are taken from cover pages and concept art - Nami's outfit in her first appearance was based on the original design for her where she used an axe. The team making this really did their homework on the details.
Great reaction! Hoping you two do the whole season together! Also Clarus looks like Anya Taylor-Joy - stunning!
Well, I've been watching the One Piece anime since episode 1 (so over 20 years) and I started reading the manga shortly after that.
My girlfriend has never been interested in it, but has accepted that I watch anime like this!
I hate the live action because there was too much changed and it just doesn't fit!
Recently my girlfriend told me she watched the live action (all 8 episodes) and thought it was ok. I was so surprised that she watched it and thought it was ok! Apparently the live action seems to be just right for people who don't really know One Piece. At least as an introduction!
There are major spoilers from the live action for people who are before ep 320 just so you know
Okay.. who said that men aren't talkative? 😆
You just don't know how much we want to talk about the things that we love..😂
New subscriber here.
Wow, it's like deja vu all over again.
It is more different than you think! But also keeps the same spirit. I have been looking forward to this SO FUCKING MUCH! WE ARE!!!
Chaotic is fine for a story so long as it is also coherent and understandable. There's a major difference between absurdist fantasy and just a jumbled mess.
That clown reminds me of the villain in this insane movie by Bobcat Goldthwait called "Shakes the Clown" about an alcoholic clown and his buddies. It includes a cameo by Robin Williams and a bunch of clowns beating up mimes 😂😂
binks sake on the background music while we watch shanks stich luffys scar.
One is reacting like a golden retriever, while the other reacts like a cat.
"A camera esta balançando mas o liquido continua reto" - "as definições de CHATA foram atualizadas"
Wish you luck getting her into anime.
The dynamic between you two has been fun to watch. 😁
I love his optimism
This show is so great -- I started it over thanksgiving with my parents -- none of us had any previous One Piece experience (beyond me having been deep into Anime like 20 years ago, and being shocked to see "the stretchy pirate anime" was still going somehow) and we all loved it
As the live action series goes on, you fall in love with the characters pretty quickly
