Netflix’s One Piece live-action series is only a few days away. On August 31, an entire community will be in front of their screens to discover the adaptation of Eiichirō Oda’s cult work. After having experienced great emotions this month thanks to the reveal of Luffy’s Gear 5 in the anime, fans should still be thrilled at the end of the month. For now, the show is blowing hot and cold with its trailers and images. The visuals that have just been released once again divide the community.
New images for the One Piece live-action series
The official Netflix One Piece series X account released new visuals of the series yesterday. The opportunity for the public to discover the actors who will play the childish versions of the members of the Straw Hat Crew. In One Piece, Luffy, Nami, Sanji, Usopp and Zoro, visible in these images, are all entitled to flashbacks that allow them to dive into their past. These moments are especially heartbreaking, which is why fans are already emotional just by the sight of these new visuals. ” Am I really ready to relive those moments (I cried at every one of them, but shh) again? », « ready to be annihilated once again by Nami’s past “, can we read on the social network. Fans are also particularly happy to see Bell-mère, Nami’s adoptive mother, even if she only appears from behind.
If the public expects therefore almost unanimously to be upset by the story of these characters, the appearance of Zoro is debated. Indeed, the actor who will play the pirate in his youth seems a little older than the others, but especially older than Zoro is during the flashbacks of the manga and the anime. ” Why is Zoro 23 years old? “wonders ironically a fan of One Piece on X. A statement shared by many, which causes a lot of concern. We will have to see what it gives on the screen to form an opinion on this point. To a lesser extent, Nami’s hair color, considered too garish, also bothers some fans.
Eiichiro Oda is keen on adaptation fidelity
In any case, it’s rather reassuring to see that the past of the Mugiwaras will be mentioned in the One Piece series. If producer Matt Owens is to be believed, their story should be true to what fans know. Indeed, he recently revealed that Eiichiro Oda, who occupies the role of consultant and executive producer on the program, had had two requirements concerning the Netflix adaptation: that the past of the characters as well as the powers of the *text muted* Fruits be kept Alike. Excellent news for fans attached to the codes of the One Piece universe. Remember that the series will be available on August 31 on Netflix and that a few lucky ones will be able to discover the first two episodes in preview at the Grand Rex on August 29.
