A thing I love about this episode is it ties their shared backstory to the last episode where Sanji fed the starving pirate but they don't explicitly call it out. Sanji fed him and when Luffy tells Zeff, the audience is expecting him to get mad. Instead he just smiles and says what a good lad Sanji is. They know that hunger so neither of them will let a hungry person leave without getting fed.
Matt Owens is the showrunner, and he's a massive fan. He actually suffered from some extreme depression when he was younger, and credits finding One Piece as saving his life. When he met with Eiichiro Oda, the mangaka, and told him that, that was when Oda shook his hand and knew that the show was in good hands. Oda actually stipulated that he had to sign off on everything, which is why there are some big changes between this and the anime and manga, but everything really still makes perfect sense. But really, everyone involved is a fan of the story, and it shows. Inaki Godoy, the actor for Luffy, is literally perfect, but Taz Skyler as Sanji is for sure my favorite, and the dude even trained in kickboxing and cooking so he could do those scenes himself. They all respect how incredible One Piece is.
Matt Owens had a quote in an article that he credits as what gave Oda so much confidence in him understanding the story of one piece, that I love "...it’s really a story about how everyone has tragedy, pain, sadness in their life. But it’s not what defines you. What defines you is how you use that to motivate your future. And that no one has to do it alone. No one in this world has to be alone. When you find those people around you, who motivate you and lift you up and help you, that’s the greatest power in this world."
Fun fact: The Sanji and Zeff actors already knew each other very well before the show, and it was actually Taz Skylar (Sanji) who recommended Craig Fairbrass (Zeff) for the part.
Unless I’m mistaken, the first time we hear Zeff call Sanji by his name was in the farewell scene. That was the signal that he was at his most vulnerable.
There's really good symbolism here with Zeff. Zeff ate his leg because losing a leg would mean he has to stop being a pirate and settle down, but it still means he can cook. If he ate his arm, he could still be a pirate, but would be impossible for him to cook.
It's also canon to the manga... in the anime, it was made "less brutal" by him sacrificing his leg to save Sanji from the sinking ship pulling him down.... which leaves us wondering how the hell he survives all that time because he wouldn't have a leg TO eat...
Fishskin is anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial, it supports and improves woundhealing in a variety of wounds, fishskin grafts are oftenly used on patient suffering from burnwounds. Sometimes even maggots are used on really badly burned patients to clear the skin (they only eat dead/necrotic tissue)
Like Sanji said at the end, he felt like he owed Zeff his life. Sanji couldn't just abandon the man that saved him. Zeff knows that and was trying to get him to hate being there so much that Sanji would leave and fulfill his dream.
Taz Skylar (Sanji) really gave it 110%. Not just with that goodbye at the end but the guy when to culinary school and got a black belt not sure what in but he got one.
SO, I think officially, Sanji's fighting style is apparently a hybrid between Brazilian Capoeria, French Savate and Korean Taekwondo. I can find several quotes where he says he got 2 black belts, and 1 blue belt, and I can only confirm he got a black belt in Taekwondo from an insta post. I don't wanna spend more than 5 mins to figure more details out xD. edit: As in, Taz got the belts, not Sanji the fictinal character.
Now we know why Zeff called Sanji a good kid when Luffy told him about him feeding the hungry pirate. The actors for Sanji and Zeff had worked together before and Sanji's actor Taz recommended Fairbrass for the role of Zeff.
what I kind of liked seeing Luffy getting so concerned for Zoro to point shock that he cant eat, think straight...just....um riceballs, or maybe beer....or riceball soaked in beer.....kinda realistic mental approach
I'm so glad they used the manga version of Sanji's backstory for this show. In the anime, when their ships were sinking, Zeff had to save Sanji from drowning, but his leg was wrapped around an anchor chain or something, so he cut it off to get to the kid. It honestly hit less hard than him eating his own leg while giving Sanji all the food (plus, it raises the question of how the hell he even survived in that version).
Yeah, that was an unfortunate censoring. But given the time it was released and the fact it's marketed at teenage boys, it's an instance of censorship i can understand the reason very well. Yeah, it has less impact in the anime, but that specific part is something im not even mad over, it was probably not even an option to NOT censor for it to be given an okay to air the episode.
I read the manga when I was so young. New to anime/manga back then. A few years later I discovered One Piece again and was confused why he didn't eat his leg. I had this core memory of him eating his leg, but I completely forgot I read the manga and didn't watch the anime as a kid. I thought I was going crazy when I had this idea of him eating that leg.
the author Eiichiro Oda of the manga, which is the original material, actively participated in helping the tone of the series, and the director and the entire team are fans of the original material, so it was good
The funny thing is: this is just the grouping of the crew BEFORE they even reach the Grand Line, and Luffy learns early how much impact a Captain truly has and has to be. If they plan to do Season 2, you really will see how much more that is implemented. Oda teaches very powerful lessons, but learns at the same time to have fun with it.
Season 2 is currently being worked on and filming starts next month. Eiichiro Oda himself confirmed Season 2 about 2 weeks after the live action premiered.
Due to nostalgia, the anime version still hits more for me, but holy hell, they did such a good job with Sanji and Zeff saying goodbye. Props to the actors and editors. And I'mma just say, a lot of people appreciate Zeff more, 800+ chapters later. And Luffy stepping more into the role of a real captain, was in my opinion a bit too fast, but I still like how they did it and he's still just Luffy in the end. And Beth, the one who foresees the production of the show is actually the creator of One Piece, Eiichiro Oda. He loves his creation so much that he doesn't want others messing it up. So he went through the entire process of finding the right actors, artists, stylists, etc. He did not want the final product to be any less than what he envisioned. And damn did it pay off. BIG TIME.
After watching the LA, and on a rewatch of the anime, that moment did not hit the same for me..due to Patty & other guy crying weirdly, it made the moment kinda funny, with how ridiculous those two were. While this one just had Zeff & Sanji, in the moment.
@51:05 The show runner, Head writer, Executive producer of the show is Matt Owens who is responsible for the script, writing and he nailed it, and he is the captain of the ship. The mangaka Oda Eiichiro sensei is the navigator, and the one piece manga, color walks, anime etc., are the map and bible for the crew. It was only possible because Matt Owens is a huge long term one piece fan and he understands one piece, it's characters at a very deep level. So, he brought all his love for one piece, all the things he loves in one piece, all the future information he has on the characters, plot etc to the table to make an informed decision in creative process while adaptating the manga to live action by retaining the heart of it all, the soul, spirit of one piece and making necessary changes to adapt it to live action to make it seemless by trying to keep the same vibes of the original without falling into uncanny valley. Another major reason this worked so well is that the original mangaka Oda Eiichiro sensei is also a executive producer, who made agreement that it'll only be out after he OKs everything. Oda sensei has been heavily involved in the scripts, casting, creative decisions, and every change and decision had to be approved by Oda sensei's team. It is Matt Owens who is the person who convinced Oda sensei that he is the right person for this project and he can be trusted with one piece adaptation by showing Oda sensei how much one piece means to him, what one piece has done in his life, how it helped him in his darkest times, and Oda sensei got convinced by the conviction of Matt Owens and ofc his skills and credentials to agree to this. And the directors were chosen very wisely to fit the specific arc they are directing, which is a great decision. Those directors even though didn't know about one piece had respect for the original and the scripts by the writer's room headed by Matt Owens is so good that, they just had to focus on how to get a scene, visual, emotion right. And Oda sensei gave notes to the team and corrections on specifically about the intention behind any specific scene and what something specific is supposed to convey and that level of deeper insight gave the directors deeper understanding, equipping them with the nuanced thought behind each scene, characters, so that they can use their skill to teh fullest to bring about that essense without watering it down and portray it as intended on screen in the best way possible with their own ideas, talents, and vision, without straying from the intent of those scenes. And the art directors took one piece manga, color walks and Oda sensei's clarifications, notes as reference along with Matt Owens's insight into the one piece story, world, lore to design props, background, posters, newspaper articles, wall paintings, background banners etc, to include many inworld details to make it lived in, as well as so so many eater eggs for casual and hard-core fans at many levels. It all shows in the output. If it's not for Matt Owens' vision, conviction and Oda sensei's care and supervision this would've have succeeded at this level. That's for sure. There have been lot of changes in live action from manga to fit the "Netflix's" episodic model with cliffhangers, etc, while adapting, some great additions, some good, a very few not so great due to budgetary constraints of Netflix. Also, due to writer strike, Matt owens even though he is the show runner was not fully involved in some if the production which resulted in some suboptimal decisions, which won't happen in future. But all in all, inspite of all that, what they came up with is no less than a miracle and is something no one expected to work, and it passed with flying colors in the hearts on the fans. It is even attracting normies to give one piece a chance and actually end up liking it and some actually giving animanga a chance. My normie friends who don't get animation love one piece and are eagerly waiting for season 2 and i could talk with them about one piece. That's a big WIN due to this live action. It put one piece in the mainstream!! Another reason it all worked out is that many people in the production team of one piece project are one piece fans. The music composers Sonya and Gionna are huge ine piece fans themselves and they made the sound tracks of the live action very memorable, exciting and as good as the original, I even am feeling nostalgic about the live action music now..😂 Then many actors like Emily Rudd are huge One piece fans in the crew. And some many others started watching or reading one piece after joining the team. Everyone is having that appreciation fir th original and they just want their beloved characters and story reach wider audience through this live action and that sentiment shows in the final output. There may be few things that we animanga fans want to be improved upon, especially longer run time (10 episodes)as originally planned which would solve many minor complaints that we animanga fans have about the live action, but none the less this turned out great and I personally who have been supporting this live action project from the beginning from 2019, when I first heard Matt Owens speak in the Reverie, that gave me faith and I'm happy that my long wait is brought to fruition by the output. One piece is one of the greatest stories of all time especially in modern literature, and they nailed the show for what it is to standalone on its own and be a great show along with being a great adaptation of a manga and be so good at so many levels, the writing, characters, character arcs, plot, plot threads, foreshadowings, plot resolutions, full circle kinda storytelling at multiple levels and aspects, acting, cinematography, lighting, set designs, direction, music, action, choreography, CGI, and many many more.., all of which were implemented at a very high level. And absolutely, shout out to the editors who did a fantastic job to stitch it all together so beautifully. They managed to strike the balance between humor, light heartedness, sense of adventure, action, wacky superpowers with seriousness, emotion, character work, heart and acting. That's something which is very very hard and Matt Owens has to be given credit for coming up with such a great script to hit all the great moments in the manga, within such a short condensed format, retaining the soul of the original, yet making it all feel earned at the end in the live action. That's a marvelous feat in itself.
Actually Sanji rescued Luffy underwater in the manga too. The situation changed but he was still doing that. He kept his suit on while doing it in the manga though, but you can easily say why a more realistic show might want him to swim without a heavy sodden shirt bogging him down.
I had to know what Sanjis' issue with oregano is. The best answer i could find is that there's a history of French chefs looking down on Italian chefs' herbs of choice. Also lots of fans get horny watching One Piece. And often over multiple characters
I love that they added this extra bit of Zoro's injury. The anime shows him wounded, but he isn't out for so long. This bit shows just how scared Luffy is to lose people close to him. We don't see this side of Luffy in the first 400 eps of the anime.
14:38 You should remember the story Nami tells to Zoro about Noland the Liar. If the live action gets a third season, it’s going to become very relevant.
"so he knows" I mean he probably figured it out when he heard Luffy's full name. Garp only told him his name was Luffy and he had a strawhat, but Mihawk later says he wants to speak to Monkey D. Luffy so in the meantime he found out Luffy's last name which is the same as the last name of the vice admiral who just asked him to seek Luffy. Not that hard to put the pieces together from there xD "very much works for the character" Yes, whether you know the original or not, Mihawk in the live action is basically perfect. Almost all of the actors are well casted but you can see that some are still inexperienced or clumsy sometimes, but a few others are perfect from start to finish like Helmeppo's, Buggy's and Mihawk's actors. You saw Christian Bale because the exact face he makes before climbing on the Merry is a Bale face with a Bale smile. I mean I get the feeling in general, but in this moment in particular it was basically Christian Bale.
Eiichiro Oda, the original author, is the one who co-directed this series. He made sure that it followed the emotional intensity of the original manga. Cases like this where the original author's intent is respected in an adaptation are very rare, that's why it's so good. He is the one who personally chose the actors, the scenery and everything else. If he didn't like something, most of the time it was deleted from the final footage. The choice of exposing Garp as Luffy's grandpa so early in the story was the only plot element brought by the Netflix crew. Oda was against it at first, but after hearing their reasons for suggesting it, he changed his mind.
interestingly enough while stranded on that Island Sanji & Zef were talking about having a Restaurant in the middle of the sea not just to feed passengers/customers charging them. but also to feed or hire anyone or anyone who are Hungry no matter the status in the Manga....thats why Sanji fed that guy who injured in the previous episode also...Sanji started smoking at the Age of 12 in the Manga while in Anime not shown but age 18....
The author of the original Japanese comic, known as manga, is the one the show creators defer to when it comes to making the final decision, whether it comes to the casting or the writing. However, the background crew are phenomenally good.
Well, you better be tough buttercups from the next episode, it will be a great emotional rollercoaster coming through and that would be her backstory. You all keep asking "why is she hating pirate?"
From what I understand alcohol is used to sterilize the surface before a wound is made. If you use it afterward all it's going to do is irritate the skin and cause damage, it's better just to use soapy water at that point.
I won’t give spoilers, all I’ll say is, put a pin on Sanji, and watch his character close. He has so much depth to him. Next to Luffy (and perhaps Jimbei), he is my favorite character.
Even though Nami thought it was wrong for Luffy to let Zorro fight (And she was right in a way, Zorro shouldn't have tried. But Zorro thought he was near the top himself), this was what showed Zorro that Luffy wouldn't stand in the way of his dream. Was willing to let Zorro risk his life for it. Knowing that, made it so Zorro could swear to follow Luffy. At least, in my opinion.
Auto-cannibalism has never been so emotional! It would be so easy to drop the ball on that scene but that look Zeff gives, where he's so utterly broken by everything but sees that his dream can live on, it's perfect. And the whole scene builds TENSION even though we know they both survive. Only other work I've seen that builds tension so much despite us knowing it had a happy ending is Apollo 13. "Because you have the same dream as me" is a big theme in this series! So is characters being much deeper than you would initially think. I saw a video that said the best character in the series is (someone you haven't met but who wears the most ridiculous outfit you'll ever see including a swan tutu). If you guys are ever in Sandy, Oregon, there's a food truck called All Blue. And yes it is very much a reference to One Piece--the cash register is covered in stickers of the crew. (Disclaimer: I didn't actually have the food there so I don't know if they're any good) Zeff is an asshole, but, like with real people, that's not ALL he is. If you guys want to find out a bit about Sanji's blood family, he was in Death Battle. I forget if you watched that episode, but if you haven't then you should probably avoid it now unless youre intentionally seeking out spoilers (also it...really wasn't a very good episode).
That talk about accepting others and not being so quick to judge… that’s what One Piece is all about. You got it. More than anything to me the one piece is a one piece of humanity, our commonalities being more important than our differences.
fun fact: arlong in the anime is around 8-10 ft tall. that line at 22:05 "I was expecting someone bigger" and luffy saying "me too" is a nice touch to that
Oda, original writer himself is making sure they don’t screw it up. Every decision has to go through him. So Oda made sure the ppl making this show are fans of the series. Everyone who is involved does know the story or does know enough of it for this part
In the core stuff, they don't have opposing views, neither Zeff nor Sanji will leave someone without food, none of them fight with their hands because they use their hands to cook.
Oda the creator of the IP is the one leading every episode. That's one reason people think it was such a successful adaptation is because the creator was so closely involved with every part of every episode.
The person behind scenes ensuring that Netflix doesn't mess up the adaptation is Eiichoro Oda the manga auther and creator of One Piece. He still has full creative control over the adaptation and if he's not satisfied with anything Netflix has to change it or are not allowed to release it at all.
Ok, I'm just starting the video but I absolutely have to pause quickly to give a quick Cheers (clinks digital glass) to the Oneders reference!! That Thing You Do deserves even more attention!
One Piece always makes references to folktales, like how Usopp is a clear nod to Pinocchio and the Boy who cried Wolf. Somehow I feel like the two bags thing is a reference to the Japanese folktale about the old man who, after feeding some mice/saving a sparrow, gets rewarded with either a small box or a big box and he humbly chooses the smaller one. The smaller one was filled with treasure and the bigger one was filled with monstrosities. Here, the bigger one is filled with treasure but its still the smaller bag that is the one with value
Usopp's slingshot has less velocity of more accuracy than a pistol, it also gives him a better ammo selection. Right now it does less damage than a pistol, so after zeph shot Arlong, all he could do was hide.
My rankings of the title card of each ep :- 5) Ep 8 [ Its Very Rich ] 4) Ep 6 [ Sanji ] 3) Ep 5 [ Zeff's Jolly Roger] 2) Ep 4 [ Zoro ] 1) Ep 2 [ Buggy's Jolly Roger ]
This would be my last time saying this on each of the Ep6 reaction :- Zoro vowing to protect Luffy's dream, after Luffy defended Zoro's, was such a good choice on the showrunners part. This change suits the medium, while in the anime, Zoro was literally playing pirates with Luffy from the get go..the promise happens the same, but loyalty was earned better here.
A controversial change from the manga was that they cut out a battle with Luffy and the pirate captain who Mihawk killed in the previous episode. Between that and Zoro’s fight with Mihawk, it showed Sanji witnessing how Luffy and Zoro have the grit to follow their dreams. Which was a huge factor that convinced Sanji to join the crew. I think he still sees that in them but it’s easy to overlook because they have a ton of material they need to convey in the few episodes they have left. It’s at this point we see some really hard crunch they had to do, because they were aiming for at least 10 episodes but only got 8.
I dunno that it was 'that' controversial tbh. A lot of people felt Don Krieg was the most generic/boring villain of the East Blue saga, if not in One Piece period; heck, quite a few long-time One Piece fans watching the LA were thrilled to see him killed by Mihawk. Having seen the man in action, I had zero issues with it myself because he was just... your standard bad boss; no more, no less. Not all that exciting, really ^Sure, some meme "Justice for Don Krieg", but it largely seems to be an ironic/sarcastic sentiment rather than a genuine one, at least as far as I've seen.
@@Omegafire17 The reason people find it controversial is due to the effect it has on Sanji. How to some it lessens his decision to join Luffy. It was home he watched Luffy and Zoro pursuing their dreams even if it meant dying here that showed him the value in chasing his dream. Personally I don’t mind it as I feel it’s still there. However the LA makes it feel more like it was a thing Sanji has been wanting to do for a long while. Rather than something Sanji decided to do after meeting Luffy. Manga and anime Sanji was more willing to die protecting Zeff and his restaurant.
As you guessed the captain of the show is the creator of One Piece - Eichiro Oda. Unlike most shows of this nature he retained control of the IP and had final say on whether things were good enough to make the cut, which he used more than once. He's actually still creating the series though! Chapter 1115 of the manga came out this week (may 2024).
I’ve watched the live action so many times and so many reactions! You two are great!! And Mihawk and garp are held in such high regards both amazing characters and in the anime everytime they are ever on the screen every one piece fan can literally picture probably every scene they are that epic.
This live action adaptation of Netflix's 'One Piece' was produced as a collaboration between Tomorrow Studios, and Eiichiro Oda (Author of One Piece) who served as executive producer with Matt Owens ('Luke Cage,' 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L. D'), Steve Maeda ( 'CSI: Miami,' 'Lost'), Marty Adelstein and Becky Clements. There is news circulating that Netflix will not release it if Oda doesn't like the results of the Live Action,
When Sanji asks Luffy if he knew what if felt like for someone to lose a limb to save their life, and Luffy says he does, that's because Shanks lost an arm saving Luffy. Can't wait for you to see the next episode! There's at least one scene in the next episode that truly embodies the entire show, and it was nearly word for word from the anime/manga.
This is just a glimps of how emotional one piece is. I'll tell you, you will experience more of this. Watch the anime. You will experience sobbing like a baby, laugh like you never laughed before, hate characters to death, and experience trauma just like the rest of us. One piece can deceive you with this goofy characters but it can be brutal at times.
One of my favorite things about Sanji's goodbye in the Manga/Anime, which I'm sad they did not include, was how everyone was crying, and Zeff berates them by saying real men should part without words let alone tears, while having tears in his eyes.
They did the 'expecting someone bigger' joke because Arlong in the manga and anime is roughly 9ft tall. And later we meet fishmen who are even taller than him. Stronger to - the average fishman is at least 3 times stronger than the average human (emphasis on the words 'at least' and 'average), Arlong is stronger than most, but there are other fishmen who beat him in a fight (a few years ago). As you can imagine, actors who are 9ft tall are kind of rare.
Rogue waves, like the ones shown destroying the two ships, are a real thing. For millenia, they were legends. Ships would disappear and sometimes wreckage would be found, but the stories of giant waves that came out of nowhere and could destroy ships were dismissed as tall tales. They don't develop near shores and usually leave no survivors, so they did sound like fantasy. But thanks to modern satellites, we now know they exist. And can be avoided.
1. You should se Garp in his manga dog hat it's 10000% funnier 2. Oda's (The author) met his wife at a Jump Festival event (Like a big manga publishing celebration event for the magazine One Piece was published in) after she had played Nami for a few years on stage for a musical One Piece show! So- she was a fan of his work
I didn't realize I was catching up with you guys as videos, so now that I'm caught up. I'm so excited for you guys to watch the last 2 episodes. I love your guys' analysis at the end of each one of these episodes. You guys insight. Is so good Ask for the person behind the scenes. I would probably credit, mostly oda. Since he always made the final decision on scenes and casting.and even design Although I would also say the show runner, Matt. Owens has a lot to do with it as well. Since he is a huge one piece fan. Which I mean? About. Almost the whole entire crew is a massive fan. And you can tell with how much love was put into the making of this series❤ Although I would also say the show runner, Matt. Owens has a lot to do with it as well. Since he is a huge one piece fan. Which I mean? About. Almost the whole entire crew is a massive fan. And you can tell with how much love was put into the making of this series❤..?
I guess they gave the Baratie a maitre'd who was a fishman to stop us from assuming that all fishmen are like Arlong, and to tell us something minor but kind of significant about Arlong - for all his massive, MASSIVE faults, he won't harm a fellow fishman (beyond a few fights we saw much later int he show in someone else's memories, but it was never anything that serious).
I agree that it's a very find line between dramatic and tacky and this show is a master class in on properly building expectation and not overplaying your hand. I also love how Zeff was written. Yes, he is rough and an asshole to Sanji and in the beginning it's easy to write him off as a jerk, but by the end you not only see why, but agree. Also, per Oda (the creator od One Piece), the live action is based on the manga and not the anime. I'll stop flooding you with my rhetoric now I promise... Or do I?
Both the show runner Matt Owens, and the author Oda, basically made sure everything flowed as well as possible. Every 2 episodes have a different director. And the final 2 episodes of this season were edited right before the writer and actor strikes happened. So while still great. The editing wasn't quite what Matt Owens wanted them to be.
The series was overwatched with the creator of One Piece, Oda. He made a lot of calls with the series, without changing too much of the overall story beats. They're remaking One Piece anime as well.
Fantastic review guys. I'm currently writing a children's book precisely on the subject matter of a class accepting a fictional troll, but not accepting a classmate who is different to most
No need for Sanji to say "I love you dad", Zeff knew it. We can understand though why Sanji didn't want to leave Zeff after everything that had happened. And that was before.....well.....let's just say we may eventually find out the answer to the questions some may have had about his backstory, chiefly the one about 'were his parents on that ship before it sunk?'
your analysis of the directing and acting is really good. One Piece is really hard to get into Live Action and yet they did it. Please watch the anime, you will have so much joy (and tears) watching it. I promise
So, something I think fits this episode. Later in the series, and I don't think one line out of context is too spoiler-y, Luffy says "I'm not a hero. Heroes share their food and I want it all for myself." And then a video I watched a couple weeks back pointed out: Luffy sees sharing food as a heroic act. Therefore everyone who shares their food with him is a hero to him. And then look at what Zeff did for Sanji.
The live action actually made me love Sanji. I’m not a huge fan of what I saw of him in the anime. His specific character trope was annoying. But the live action actually made me like him. His backstory is still so brutal though. And thus, the reveal. I can not wait until next episode.
I wonder if they're still going to include that one specific thing he's terrified of even though it's not exactly...PC. But the entire point is that it's a ridiculous thing to be afraid of and he's being stupid and shallow when he gets that way.
Not even a minute in and that's a question I kept forgetting to look up the answer to: where "The Oneders" came from. Good to know. I will write down "That Thing You Do" and look it up later.
@@BJGvideos tbf, the anime has to work with network censorship limitations that the manga doesn't have to deal with. Even now, I think there's less censorship laws around manga compared to anime.
A thing I love about this episode is it ties their shared backstory to the last episode where Sanji fed the starving pirate but they don't explicitly call it out. Sanji fed him and when Luffy tells Zeff, the audience is expecting him to get mad. Instead he just smiles and says what a good lad Sanji is. They know that hunger so neither of them will let a hungry person leave without getting fed.
Great point! 😀
Matt Owens is the showrunner, and he's a massive fan. He actually suffered from some extreme depression when he was younger, and credits finding One Piece as saving his life. When he met with Eiichiro Oda, the mangaka, and told him that, that was when Oda shook his hand and knew that the show was in good hands. Oda actually stipulated that he had to sign off on everything, which is why there are some big changes between this and the anime and manga, but everything really still makes perfect sense. But really, everyone involved is a fan of the story, and it shows. Inaki Godoy, the actor for Luffy, is literally perfect, but Taz Skyler as Sanji is for sure my favorite, and the dude even trained in kickboxing and cooking so he could do those scenes himself. They all respect how incredible One Piece is.
Can tell the people making this had a lot of love for it 🤩😍
Matt Owens had a quote in an article that he credits as what gave Oda so much confidence in him understanding the story of one piece, that I love
"...it’s really a story about how everyone has tragedy, pain, sadness in their life. But it’s not what defines you. What defines you is how you use that to motivate your future. And that no one has to do it alone. No one in this world has to be alone. When you find those people around you, who motivate you and lift you up and help you, that’s the greatest power in this world."
Fun fact: The Sanji and Zeff actors already knew each other very well before the show, and it was actually Taz Skylar (Sanji) who recommended Craig Fairbrass (Zeff) for the part.
Love it ☺️
Unless I’m mistaken, the first time we hear Zeff call Sanji by his name was in the farewell scene. That was the signal that he was at his most vulnerable.
🥲
There's really good symbolism here with Zeff. Zeff ate his leg because losing a leg would mean he has to stop being a pirate and settle down, but it still means he can cook. If he ate his arm, he could still be a pirate, but would be impossible for him to cook.
Good point 🤔
It's also canon to the manga... in the anime, it was made "less brutal" by him sacrificing his leg to save Sanji from the sinking ship pulling him down.... which leaves us wondering how the hell he survives all that time because he wouldn't have a leg TO eat...
Fishskin is anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial, it supports and improves woundhealing in a variety of wounds, fishskin grafts are oftenly used on patient suffering from burnwounds. Sometimes even maggots are used on really badly burned patients to clear the skin (they only eat dead/necrotic tissue)
I will add the medical maggots are specially bred and grown in a sterile environment, so it's less disgusting then it sounds.
😯 the more you know
Like Sanji said at the end, he felt like he owed Zeff his life. Sanji couldn't just abandon the man that saved him. Zeff knows that and was trying to get him to hate being there so much that Sanji would leave and fulfill his dream.
Taz Skylar (Sanji) really gave it 110%. Not just with that goodbye at the end but the guy when to culinary school and got a black belt not sure what in but he got one.
Tae Kwondo
SO, I think officially, Sanji's fighting style is apparently a hybrid between Brazilian Capoeria, French Savate and Korean Taekwondo. I can find several quotes where he says he got 2 black belts, and 1 blue belt, and I can only confirm he got a black belt in Taekwondo from an insta post. I don't wanna spend more than 5 mins to figure more details out xD.
edit: As in, Taz got the belts, not Sanji the fictinal character.
That’s dedication 😀
If it hasn't been pointed out before, Sanji fights using only his feet because a chef would never put his most valuable tools at risk in a fight.
Clever 🙂
Now we know why Zeff called Sanji a good kid when Luffy told him about him feeding the hungry pirate.
The actors for Sanji and Zeff had worked together before and Sanji's actor Taz recommended Fairbrass for the role of Zeff.
That’s cool they already had worked together. 🙂
I love that Nami read the Noland story to Zoro.
🥲
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 you definitely couldnt get it, but thats actually important later on in the story
That "i was too easy on him" is freaking comical for any anime watchers 😂
what I kind of liked seeing Luffy getting so concerned for Zoro to point shock that he cant eat, think straight...just....um riceballs, or maybe beer....or riceball soaked in beer.....kinda realistic mental approach
"How the fuck am I getting choked up at this?!"
Ah, got acquainted to the old One Piece approach, soon will be part of the "Cried over a boat" Club.
🥲🤗
I'm so glad they used the manga version of Sanji's backstory for this show. In the anime, when their ships were sinking, Zeff had to save Sanji from drowning, but his leg was wrapped around an anchor chain or something, so he cut it off to get to the kid. It honestly hit less hard than him eating his own leg while giving Sanji all the food (plus, it raises the question of how the hell he even survived in that version).
Yeah, that was an unfortunate censoring. But given the time it was released and the fact it's marketed at teenage boys, it's an instance of censorship i can understand the reason very well. Yeah, it has less impact in the anime, but that specific part is something im not even mad over, it was probably not even an option to NOT censor for it to be given an okay to air the episode.
100% this
I agree but I think we need to set aside the ‘how did he even survive’ concept for this whole storyline lol
I read the manga when I was so young. New to anime/manga back then.
A few years later I discovered One Piece again and was confused why he didn't eat his leg. I had this core memory of him eating his leg, but I completely forgot I read the manga and didn't watch the anime as a kid. I thought I was going crazy when I had this idea of him eating that leg.
Eating his own leg doesn't make sense
the author Eiichiro Oda of the manga, which is the original material, actively participated in helping the tone of the series, and the director and the entire team are fans of the original material, so it was good
😎👍😀
The funny thing is: this is just the grouping of the crew BEFORE they even reach the Grand Line, and Luffy learns early how much impact a Captain truly has and has to be. If they plan to do Season 2, you really will see how much more that is implemented. Oda teaches very powerful lessons, but learns at the same time to have fun with it.
Season 2 is currently being worked on and filming starts next month.
Eiichiro Oda himself confirmed Season 2 about 2 weeks after the live action premiered.
@@Phanthief95I knew they were going to, but I’m psyched to hear they’re about to start working on it.
Due to nostalgia, the anime version still hits more for me, but holy hell, they did such a good job with Sanji and Zeff saying goodbye. Props to the actors and editors.
And I'mma just say, a lot of people appreciate Zeff more, 800+ chapters later.
And Luffy stepping more into the role of a real captain, was in my opinion a bit too fast, but I still like how they did it and he's still just Luffy in the end.
And Beth, the one who foresees the production of the show is actually the creator of One Piece, Eiichiro Oda. He loves his creation so much that he doesn't want others messing it up. So he went through the entire process of finding the right actors, artists, stylists, etc. He did not want the final product to be any less than what he envisioned.
And damn did it pay off. BIG TIME.
After watching the LA, and on a rewatch of the anime, that moment did not hit the same for me..due to Patty & other guy crying weirdly, it made the moment kinda funny, with how ridiculous those two were.
While this one just had Zeff & Sanji, in the moment.
@51:05 The show runner, Head writer, Executive producer of the show is Matt Owens who is responsible for the script, writing and he nailed it, and he is the captain of the ship. The mangaka Oda Eiichiro sensei is the navigator, and the one piece manga, color walks, anime etc., are the map and bible for the crew.
It was only possible because Matt Owens is a huge long term one piece fan and he understands one piece, it's characters at a very deep level. So, he brought all his love for one piece, all the things he loves in one piece, all the future information he has on the characters, plot etc to the table to make an informed decision in creative process while adaptating the manga to live action by retaining the heart of it all, the soul, spirit of one piece and making necessary changes to adapt it to live action to make it seemless by trying to keep the same vibes of the original without falling into uncanny valley.
Another major reason this worked so well is that the original mangaka Oda Eiichiro sensei is also a executive producer, who made agreement that it'll only be out after he OKs everything. Oda sensei has been heavily involved in the scripts, casting, creative decisions, and every change and decision had to be approved by Oda sensei's team.
It is Matt Owens who is the person who convinced Oda sensei that he is the right person for this project and he can be trusted with one piece adaptation by showing Oda sensei how much one piece means to him, what one piece has done in his life, how it helped him in his darkest times, and Oda sensei got convinced by the conviction of Matt Owens and ofc his skills and credentials to agree to this.
And the directors were chosen very wisely to fit the specific arc they are directing, which is a great decision. Those directors even though didn't know about one piece had respect for the original and the scripts by the writer's room headed by Matt Owens is so good that, they just had to focus on how to get a scene, visual, emotion right. And Oda sensei gave notes to the team and corrections on specifically about the intention behind any specific scene and what something specific is supposed to convey and that level of deeper insight gave the directors deeper understanding, equipping them with the nuanced thought behind each scene, characters, so that they can use their skill to teh fullest to bring about that essense without watering it down and portray it as intended on screen in the best way possible with their own ideas, talents, and vision, without straying from the intent of those scenes.
And the art directors took one piece manga, color walks and Oda sensei's clarifications, notes as reference along with Matt Owens's insight into the one piece story, world, lore to design props, background, posters, newspaper articles, wall paintings, background banners etc, to include many inworld details to make it lived in, as well as so so many eater eggs for casual and hard-core fans at many levels. It all shows in the output.
If it's not for Matt Owens' vision, conviction and Oda sensei's care and supervision this would've have succeeded at this level. That's for sure.
There have been lot of changes in live action from manga to fit the "Netflix's" episodic model with cliffhangers, etc, while adapting, some great additions, some good, a very few not so great due to budgetary constraints of Netflix. Also, due to writer strike, Matt owens even though he is the show runner was not fully involved in some if the production which resulted in some suboptimal decisions, which won't happen in future.
But all in all, inspite of all that, what they came up with is no less than a miracle and is something no one expected to work, and it passed with flying colors in the hearts on the fans. It is even attracting normies to give one piece a chance and actually end up liking it and some actually giving animanga a chance.
My normie friends who don't get animation love one piece and are eagerly waiting for season 2 and i could talk with them about one piece. That's a big WIN due to this live action. It put one piece in the mainstream!!
Another reason it all worked out is that many people in the production team of one piece project are one piece fans. The music composers Sonya and Gionna are huge ine piece fans themselves and they made the sound tracks of the live action very memorable, exciting and as good as the original, I even am feeling nostalgic about the live action music now..😂
Then many actors like Emily Rudd are huge One piece fans in the crew. And some many others started watching or reading one piece after joining the team. Everyone is having that appreciation fir th original and they just want their beloved characters and story reach wider audience through this live action and that sentiment shows in the final output. There may be few things that we animanga fans want to be improved upon, especially longer run time (10 episodes)as originally planned which would solve many minor complaints that we animanga fans have about the live action, but none the less this turned out great and I personally who have been supporting this live action project from the beginning from 2019, when I first heard Matt Owens speak in the Reverie, that gave me faith and I'm happy that my long wait is brought to fruition by the output.
One piece is one of the greatest stories of all time especially in modern literature, and they nailed the show for what it is to standalone on its own and be a great show along with being a great adaptation of a manga and be so good at so many levels, the writing, characters, character arcs, plot, plot threads, foreshadowings, plot resolutions, full circle kinda storytelling at multiple levels and aspects, acting, cinematography, lighting, set designs, direction, music, action, choreography, CGI, and many many more.., all of which were implemented at a very high level. And absolutely, shout out to the editors who did a fantastic job to stitch it all together so beautifully.
They managed to strike the balance between humor, light heartedness, sense of adventure, action, wacky superpowers with seriousness, emotion, character work, heart and acting. That's something which is very very hard and Matt Owens has to be given credit for coming up with such a great script to hit all the great moments in the manga, within such a short condensed format, retaining the soul of the original, yet making it all feel earned at the end in the live action. That's a marvelous feat in itself.
Actually Sanji rescued Luffy underwater in the manga too. The situation changed but he was still doing that.
He kept his suit on while doing it in the manga though, but you can easily say why a more realistic show might want him to swim without a heavy sodden shirt bogging him down.
I had to know what Sanjis' issue with oregano is. The best answer i could find is that there's a history of French chefs looking down on Italian chefs' herbs of choice.
Also lots of fans get horny watching One Piece. And often over multiple characters
Maybe too much oregano is what's bothering him. 😂
I feel like One Piece characters fall into mostly two categories: hideously ugly (like the Arlong pirates) or incredibly hot.
@@1stgenkpopfan646arlong is not even ugly, dude’s just a different race
@@1stgenkpopfan646somebody gonna tell you they want the fishtick
I love that they added this extra bit of Zoro's injury. The anime shows him wounded, but he isn't out for so long. This bit shows just how scared Luffy is to lose people close to him. We don't see this side of Luffy in the first 400 eps of the anime.
14:38 You should remember the story Nami tells to Zoro about Noland the Liar.
If the live action gets a third season, it’s going to become very relevant.
"so he knows" I mean he probably figured it out when he heard Luffy's full name. Garp only told him his name was Luffy and he had a strawhat, but Mihawk later says he wants to speak to Monkey D. Luffy so in the meantime he found out Luffy's last name which is the same as the last name of the vice admiral who just asked him to seek Luffy. Not that hard to put the pieces together from there xD
"very much works for the character" Yes, whether you know the original or not, Mihawk in the live action is basically perfect. Almost all of the actors are well casted but you can see that some are still inexperienced or clumsy sometimes, but a few others are perfect from start to finish like Helmeppo's, Buggy's and Mihawk's actors.
You saw Christian Bale because the exact face he makes before climbing on the Merry is a Bale face with a Bale smile. I mean I get the feeling in general, but in this moment in particular it was basically Christian Bale.
Eiichiro Oda, the original author, is the one who co-directed this series. He made sure that it followed the emotional intensity of the original manga. Cases like this where the original author's intent is respected in an adaptation are very rare, that's why it's so good. He is the one who personally chose the actors, the scenery and everything else. If he didn't like something, most of the time it was deleted from the final footage. The choice of exposing Garp as Luffy's grandpa so early in the story was the only plot element brought by the Netflix crew. Oda was against it at first, but after hearing their reasons for suggesting it, he changed his mind.
That’s cool he was open to hearing feedback on why things should change for live action and working so closely with production 😀
interestingly enough while stranded on that Island Sanji & Zef were talking about having a Restaurant in the middle of the sea not just to feed passengers/customers charging them. but also to feed or hire anyone or anyone who are Hungry no matter the status in the Manga....thats why Sanji fed that guy who injured in the previous episode
also...Sanji started smoking at the Age of 12 in the Manga while in Anime not shown but age 18....
The author of the original Japanese comic, known as manga, is the one the show creators defer to when it comes to making the final decision, whether it comes to the casting or the writing. However, the background crew are phenomenally good.
Well, you better be tough buttercups from the next episode, it will be a great emotional rollercoaster coming through and that would be her backstory. You all keep asking "why is she hating pirate?"
From what I understand alcohol is used to sterilize the surface before a wound is made. If you use it afterward all it's going to do is irritate the skin and cause damage, it's better just to use soapy water at that point.
I can’t wait until you guys watch the next episode
I won’t give spoilers, all I’ll say is, put a pin on Sanji, and watch his character close. He has so much depth to him. Next to Luffy (and perhaps Jimbei), he is my favorite character.
Looking forward to more Sanji 😀
Even though Nami thought it was wrong for Luffy to let Zorro fight (And she was right in a way, Zorro shouldn't have tried. But Zorro thought he was near the top himself), this was what showed Zorro that Luffy wouldn't stand in the way of his dream. Was willing to let Zorro risk his life for it. Knowing that, made it so Zorro could swear to follow Luffy.
At least, in my opinion.
Auto-cannibalism has never been so emotional! It would be so easy to drop the ball on that scene but that look Zeff gives, where he's so utterly broken by everything but sees that his dream can live on, it's perfect. And the whole scene builds TENSION even though we know they both survive. Only other work I've seen that builds tension so much despite us knowing it had a happy ending is Apollo 13.
"Because you have the same dream as me" is a big theme in this series! So is characters being much deeper than you would initially think. I saw a video that said the best character in the series is (someone you haven't met but who wears the most ridiculous outfit you'll ever see including a swan tutu).
If you guys are ever in Sandy, Oregon, there's a food truck called All Blue. And yes it is very much a reference to One Piece--the cash register is covered in stickers of the crew. (Disclaimer: I didn't actually have the food there so I don't know if they're any good)
Zeff is an asshole, but, like with real people, that's not ALL he is.
If you guys want to find out a bit about Sanji's blood family, he was in Death Battle. I forget if you watched that episode, but if you haven't then you should probably avoid it now unless youre intentionally seeking out spoilers (also it...really wasn't a very good episode).
That talk about accepting others and not being so quick to judge… that’s what One Piece is all about. You got it. More than anything to me the one piece is a one piece of humanity, our commonalities being more important than our differences.
Oda and Matt Owens who huge Manga fan also the show runner make sure the spirit of One Piece,
fun fact: arlong in the anime is around 8-10 ft tall. that line at 22:05 "I was expecting someone bigger" and luffy saying "me too" is a nice touch to that
Oda, original writer himself is making sure they don’t screw it up. Every decision has to go through him.
So Oda made sure the ppl making this show are fans of the series. Everyone who is involved does know the story or does know enough of it for this part
In the core stuff, they don't have opposing views, neither Zeff nor Sanji will leave someone without food, none of them fight with their hands because they use their hands to cook.
They also have a personal rule to never hit a woman, even if they try to kill them.
Oda the creator of the IP is the one leading every episode. That's one reason people think it was such a successful adaptation is because the creator was so closely involved with every part of every episode.
Involved and listened to. Which is great 😀
The person behind scenes ensuring that Netflix doesn't mess up the adaptation is Eiichoro Oda the manga auther and creator of One Piece. He still has full creative control over the adaptation and if he's not satisfied with anything Netflix has to change it or are not allowed to release it at all.
Ok, I'm just starting the video but I absolutely have to pause quickly to give a quick Cheers (clinks digital glass) to the Oneders reference!! That Thing You Do deserves even more attention!
Was about to pop in to say the same thing lol
It is indeed a fantastic movie! 😀
One Piece always makes references to folktales, like how Usopp is a clear nod to Pinocchio and the Boy who cried Wolf. Somehow I feel like the two bags thing is a reference to the Japanese folktale about the old man who, after feeding some mice/saving a sparrow, gets rewarded with either a small box or a big box and he humbly chooses the smaller one. The smaller one was filled with treasure and the bigger one was filled with monstrosities. Here, the bigger one is filled with treasure but its still the smaller bag that is the one with value
Buggy angry laughing in the end😂😂
Usopp's slingshot has less velocity of more accuracy than a pistol, it also gives him a better ammo selection. Right now it does less damage than a pistol, so after zeph shot Arlong, all he could do was hide.
31:54 haha 😂
My rankings of the title card of each ep :-
5) Ep 8 [ Its Very Rich ]
4) Ep 6 [ Sanji ]
3) Ep 5 [ Zeff's Jolly Roger]
2) Ep 4 [ Zoro ]
1) Ep 2 [ Buggy's Jolly Roger ]
This would be my last time saying this on each of the Ep6 reaction :-
Zoro vowing to protect Luffy's dream, after Luffy defended Zoro's, was such a good choice on the showrunners part.
This change suits the medium, while in the anime, Zoro was literally playing pirates with Luffy from the get go..the promise happens the same, but loyalty was earned better here.
A controversial change from the manga was that they cut out a battle with Luffy and the pirate captain who Mihawk killed in the previous episode. Between that and Zoro’s fight with Mihawk, it showed Sanji witnessing how Luffy and Zoro have the grit to follow their dreams. Which was a huge factor that convinced Sanji to join the crew.
I think he still sees that in them but it’s easy to overlook because they have a ton of material they need to convey in the few episodes they have left. It’s at this point we see some really hard crunch they had to do, because they were aiming for at least 10 episodes but only got 8.
I dunno that it was 'that' controversial tbh. A lot of people felt Don Krieg was the most generic/boring villain of the East Blue saga, if not in One Piece period; heck, quite a few long-time One Piece fans watching the LA were thrilled to see him killed by Mihawk. Having seen the man in action, I had zero issues with it myself because he was just... your standard bad boss; no more, no less. Not all that exciting, really
^Sure, some meme "Justice for Don Krieg", but it largely seems to be an ironic/sarcastic sentiment rather than a genuine one, at least as far as I've seen.
@@Omegafire17 The reason people find it controversial is due to the effect it has on Sanji. How to some it lessens his decision to join Luffy. It was home he watched Luffy and Zoro pursuing their dreams even if it meant dying here that showed him the value in chasing his dream.
Personally I don’t mind it as I feel it’s still there. However the LA makes it feel more like it was a thing Sanji has been wanting to do for a long while. Rather than something Sanji decided to do after meeting Luffy. Manga and anime Sanji was more willing to die protecting Zeff and his restaurant.
More One Piece is hype.
As you guessed the captain of the show is the creator of One Piece - Eichiro Oda. Unlike most shows of this nature he retained control of the IP and had final say on whether things were good enough to make the cut, which he used more than once. He's actually still creating the series though! Chapter 1115 of the manga came out this week (may 2024).
And the Bethany Reacts to the creepy stuff never gets old from Zef eating his leg to the Ear of burpy inside a Hat...so cute
Sanji & Zeff's Goodbye never failed to make anyone go unscathed✨💯
exceptions? maybe.
I’ve watched the live action so many times and so many reactions! You two are great!! And Mihawk and garp are held in such high regards both amazing characters and in the anime everytime they are ever on the screen every one piece fan can literally picture probably every scene they are that epic.
This live action adaptation of Netflix's 'One Piece' was produced as a collaboration between Tomorrow Studios, and Eiichiro Oda (Author of One Piece) who served as executive producer with Matt Owens ('Luke Cage,' 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L. D'), Steve Maeda ( 'CSI: Miami,' 'Lost'), Marty Adelstein and Becky Clements.
There is news circulating that Netflix will not release it if Oda doesn't like the results of the Live Action,
This is one piece. They be having the goofiest characters with the most saddest tear jerkin backstory😅
I love how much time y'all spend discussing the episodes!!
I just got to the part in the anime (Whole Cake) where they flashback to young Sanji and all this and OMG Sanji I'm so sad
He was Mr. Prince afterall lol
The Mihawk/Zoro sword jokes had me hacking up half my lung, omg
When Sanji asks Luffy if he knew what if felt like for someone to lose a limb to save their life, and Luffy says he does, that's because Shanks lost an arm saving Luffy.
Can't wait for you to see the next episode! There's at least one scene in the next episode that truly embodies the entire show, and it was nearly word for word from the anime/manga.
First time watching this eps in anime made me cry like a baby, they both changed each other deep inside. ALL BLUE!!!
This is just a glimps of how emotional one piece is. I'll tell you, you will experience more of this. Watch the anime. You will experience sobbing like a baby, laugh like you never laughed before, hate characters to death, and experience trauma just like the rest of us. One piece can deceive you with this goofy characters but it can be brutal at times.
33:06 Someone else said that about him - "if Christian bale and Gordon Ramsey had a baby"
One of my favorite things about Sanji's goodbye in the Manga/Anime, which I'm sad they did not include, was how everyone was crying, and Zeff berates them by saying real men should part without words let alone tears, while having tears in his eyes.
Get ready for One piece backstories they bring the tears
8:35 They were washed up onto the Island during the storm by chance.
One Piece will have you in tears
They did the 'expecting someone bigger' joke because Arlong in the manga and anime is roughly 9ft tall. And later we meet fishmen who are even taller than him. Stronger to - the average fishman is at least 3 times stronger than the average human (emphasis on the words 'at least' and 'average), Arlong is stronger than most, but there are other fishmen who beat him in a fight (a few years ago).
As you can imagine, actors who are 9ft tall are kind of rare.
Rogue waves, like the ones shown destroying the two ships, are a real thing. For millenia, they were legends. Ships would disappear and sometimes wreckage would be found, but the stories of giant waves that came out of nowhere and could destroy ships were dismissed as tall tales. They don't develop near shores and usually leave no survivors, so they did sound like fantasy.
But thanks to modern satellites, we now know they exist. And can be avoided.
I think Zeff's crew were called the Cook Pirates because Zeff was the cook as well as the captain.
Oda the one piece creator is COMPLETELY involved to answer your director question
1. You should se Garp in his manga dog hat it's 10000% funnier
2. Oda's (The author) met his wife at a Jump Festival event (Like a big manga publishing celebration event for the magazine One Piece was published in) after she had played Nami for a few years on stage for a musical One Piece show! So- she was a fan of his work
I didn't realize I was catching up with you guys as videos, so now that I'm caught up.
I'm so excited for you guys to watch the last 2 episodes. I love your guys' analysis at the end of each one of these episodes. You guys insight.
Is so good Ask for the person behind the scenes. I would probably credit, mostly oda. Since he always made the final decision on scenes and casting.and even design Although I would also say the show runner, Matt. Owens has a lot to do with it as well. Since he is a huge one piece fan.
Which I mean?
About. Almost the whole entire crew is a massive fan.
And you can tell with how much love was put into the making of this series❤ Although I would also say the show runner, Matt. Owens has a lot to do with it as well. Since he is a huge one piece fan.
Which I mean?
About. Almost the whole entire crew is a massive fan.
And you can tell with how much love was put into the making of this series❤..?
this entire live action is just a free taste for the anime
Buckle in, the show now goes from an 8 to a 10 on the "Are you freaking kidding me?" meter.
I guess they gave the Baratie a maitre'd who was a fishman to stop us from assuming that all fishmen are like Arlong, and to tell us something minor but kind of significant about Arlong - for all his massive, MASSIVE faults, he won't harm a fellow fishman (beyond a few fights we saw much later int he show in someone else's memories, but it was never anything that serious).
"Don't watch any more One Piece, you get too horny."
GHUAHSDADJIFHGHG I started choking on my drink oh my god
I agree that it's a very find line between dramatic and tacky and this show is a master class in on properly building expectation and not overplaying your hand. I also love how Zeff was written. Yes, he is rough and an asshole to Sanji and in the beginning it's easy to write him off as a jerk, but by the end you not only see why, but agree. Also, per Oda (the creator od One Piece), the live action is based on the manga and not the anime. I'll stop flooding you with my rhetoric now I promise... Or do I?
Both the show runner Matt Owens, and the author Oda, basically made sure everything flowed as well as possible. Every 2 episodes have a different director. And the final 2 episodes of this season were edited right before the writer and actor strikes happened. So while still great. The editing wasn't quite what Matt Owens wanted them to be.
22:42 lolol, disgust on one side. Elation on the other (from a very good prediction) :D
The series was overwatched with the creator of One Piece, Oda. He made a lot of calls with the series, without changing too much of the overall story beats. They're remaking One Piece anime as well.
Fantastic review guys. I'm currently writing a children's book precisely on the subject matter of a class accepting a fictional troll, but not accepting a classmate who is different to most
Love you guys...your genuineness and banter is awesome (especially when it goes off the rails 🤣)
They ended up in that weird mountain because of the wave
P.S. If you thought the delivery in this episode was good, get ready to have your minds blown in the next episode.
No need for Sanji to say "I love you dad", Zeff knew it.
We can understand though why Sanji didn't want to leave Zeff after everything that had happened. And that was before.....well.....let's just say we may eventually find out the answer to the questions some may have had about his backstory, chiefly the one about 'were his parents on that ship before it sunk?'
Not many people notice that Buggy is missing an ear in episode 3, but yeah, they did in fact show it 🤔
4:22 seems like during these reactions, the one piece world is not the only thing that is wet😅😅😅😂
your analysis of the directing and acting is really good. One Piece is really hard to get into Live Action and yet they did it. Please watch the anime, you will have so much joy (and tears) watching it. I promise
So, something I think fits this episode. Later in the series, and I don't think one line out of context is too spoiler-y, Luffy says "I'm not a hero. Heroes share their food and I want it all for myself."
And then a video I watched a couple weeks back pointed out: Luffy sees sharing food as a heroic act. Therefore everyone who shares their food with him is a hero to him. And then look at what Zeff did for Sanji.
Wow, guys, I love your comentaries after watching each episode D: Great job.
i firmly believe Emily knew the Noland-Story by Hearth
Zoro's favorite treatment is literally long rests. 😂
By the way, the story Nami reads to Zoro about Mont Blanc Noland is important and has significance later on in future arcs of One Piece.
If you think Garp's hat is funny, then you have to see the Fleet Admiral's hat first.😄
You guys called called definitely not definitive , but you guys are awesome to me ❤
Can't wait for the next episodes. I think you both are going to enjoy it.
The live action actually made me love Sanji. I’m not a huge fan of what I saw of him in the anime. His specific character trope was annoying. But the live action actually made me like him. His backstory is still so brutal though.
And thus, the reveal. I can not wait until next episode.
I wonder if they're still going to include that one specific thing he's terrified of even though it's not exactly...PC. But the entire point is that it's a ridiculous thing to be afraid of and he's being stupid and shallow when he gets that way.
@BJGvideos Don’t know. Don’t think I ever made it that far in the anime so I have absolutely no clue.
Not even a minute in and that's a question I kept forgetting to look up the answer to: where "The Oneders" came from. Good to know. I will write down "That Thing You Do" and look it up later.
26:30
33:27
Fun fact the whole Zeff leg thing was changed in the anime cause it was considered too gruesome for audiences.
That's so odd to me. The anime is for the same target audience that the original manga is, yeah?
@@BJGvideos tbf, the anime has to work with network censorship limitations that the manga doesn't have to deal with. Even now, I think there's less censorship laws around manga compared to anime.
