- Опубликовано: 14 июл 2024
- "Luffy reminds me a lot of me, when I was a little kid." When Iñaki Godoy received the news he got the role of Luffy, he knew it would change his life forever. From having his own 'One Piece' journal where he kept notes on every episode to putting on the straw hat for the first time, Iñaki Godoy truly manifested his pirate dreams. Iñaki breaks down his entire process for the 'One Piece' live-action, from studying original voice actor Mayumi Tanaka's legendary dubbing, meeting the manga creator Eiichiro Oda for the first time, seeing the incredible special effects come to life, and so much more.

He made Oda himself laugh with his audition for Luffy. I could think of no greater honor. We found our Joy Boy
🥹🥹🥹 yaaaaaz!
"He laughed"
he made Oda laugh get this guy an Oscar!!😁😁
Why are you trying to spoil for newcomers who could be watching this. 🙄
@@neovalkyrie0 I don't know what it means, so I'm taking it at face value. That Luffy makes people happy. I haven't seen the thing the Internet would've spoiled people on first before I did
The fact that he can embody and capture the essence of the character without even originally being a fan of the source material is a talent in itself.
Ikr??
Iñaki nailed it as Luffy ☺ He makes me laugh for being goofy but he amazed me for being brave and willing to fight for his friends. ⛵
That's just a funny little thing called acting 🤗
くぬ
its almost like he's an actor or something
This kid is infectious just by being himself. Doesn't matter if he's Luffy, the guy is magnetic. Don't really see actors like this. Fresh air. All the best to him.
I don’t know anything about One Piece, but I now absolutely need to watch this show just because I love this guy’s energy
Facts
@@christophero3869 this! My husband loves the anime. Me, I don’t have the time for it. But Iñaki’s portrayal of Luffy made me rethink watching the anime. Also Usopp!
Watch imperfects he is fun in that.
AIN'T DAT da troot!
I am 100% sold on his casting. I didn't even notice the hand on the shoulder when Luffy punches. Iñaki doesn't just get the soul of the character, he's observant in *building* the character. Mad respect.
Nah it's the only one that is bad. NotMyLuffy
okay fun police crybaby @@6Sparx9
@@6Sparx9what makes you say that? The accent throws me off a bit when it breaks through on scene, but otherwise, he looks great, sounds great, and I think overall is a perfect casting.
@@alexandregrand-pierre1981 I don’t even care about accent- he captured Luffy very well IMO
@@OmegaEnvych it's more of a nitpick than a real criticism lol
I never noticed it until he pointed it out. Luffy is indeed a listener. I got deceived by how loud and frank he is. But I realized that whenever someone is talking, especially with sincerity, he just listens and immediately understands them. Luffy isn't as stupid as I thought he was. He's childish but with a very high emotional intelligence.
"Frank he"( Franky refrence) SUPER
what's amazing about Luffy is that, they don't show him listening or paying attention but he does because he noticed Boa Hancock's brand on the back and how it looks like Hatchi's. He protected one of the sister's back because they said it's important to them not to show it. That is listening. He listens when feels those details matters. He actually sat and listened when Kin E Mon was telling Oden's story. And that is a long story.
@@hikari62k you never know what luffy thinks or what he wil do for most part tbh this is more true for his relationship with momo whil many sympathize with him he treated him normally
hmmm
Luffy fits the whole Wise Fool archtype.
Dude. He continues to prove he is perfect for playing Luffy!
894 like and no reply’s let fix that
This dude does not resemble act like nor respect Luffy goofy really pulled up on Luffy s voice actor acting like it's an honor for her to meet him
@@emailaccount1806why r u such a hater..
@emailaccount1806 he act like luffy but abit more realitic to suite the live action
@@emailaccount1806aaaaaaand FALSE
He's very likable. It's so refreshing to see an actor actually STUDY, and LOVE a character that he is playing!! I've never heard of One Piece, but I'll be watching it.
It's an amazing read too!
Bros never heard of peak
Ya its Peaked Stuff
for real. The cast is perfect! Every single one of them!
Most actors study the characters they play idk y y’all say things like it’s non existent anymore lmao or like you’re going to see a actor studying their upcoming role anyways. 😅
This might be the single greatest casting for a live action adaptation ever.
Agreed
Agreed (2)
Agreed(3)
Agreed (4)
Just you wait for Avatar The Last Airbender
We as a fandom REALLY lucked out when they found Iñaki. You can feel they way he reflects his genuine self just like Luffy does.
agree
He's such a sweetie to me cuz he actually respects the source material but is still having fun with it!
Yes, this dude was literally born for it. I want to thank him not only for existing, but also for the effort in embodying Luffy as best he can. Not only that, but I also really want to thank the live action prod team and Oda-sensei for actually finding him! The stars really aligned perfectly for this one!
Nah he doesn’t watch one piece clearly by the way he explained one piece the perfect cast would be someone who is a big one piece fan
@@Shanks6039 This doesn’t address anything I said… I said he’s genuine like Luffy and nothing with whether he read OP before. And the point is to bring this story to people who wouldn’t have been exposed to it otherwise. The staff and actors who have slowly become fans of the source material is the optimal outcome.
Actually i love that he points out that Luffy listens a lot and doesn't speak too much, even if he says hilarious stuff bluntly. I just started watching One Piece the anime and i'm really noticing how many times they cut to Luffy and he's just straight-faced, not saying a word. That makes me laugh so hard
This Luffy actually has more brain cells. But I don't mind. It fits the medium better.
@@bendover7841 Luffy isn't as stupid as everybody thinks for some reason. He is super sharp in understanding people motives and nature and in battle tactic or strategy.
@@sychuan3729yup he’s super emotionally intelligent and understands people
@@sychuan3729 Luffy has the highest emotional intelligence of the series.
@@robjoker3786 dare we say, of any series
I would listen to Iñaki all day, he's so real, honest, and natural in interviews that it makes me trust him so much!
He was born to play Luffy
Lol because of that for some reason her seems untrustworthy
@@itzcalivenus6279 What?
i was saying the same thing. its so crazy . .amazing i hope Netflix's don't f it up @@FinancialFaiz
I hear he has condos in the swamps of the Everglades for sale.
He studied and understands Luffy so well! What a professional! Luffy is part of many people's childhood, thank you for portraying him so well and keeping his spirit in the live action.
The perfect Luffy, oda choosing him because he made him laugh is on brand for a show like one piece.
that's sound like Oda
Agreed
When he said that i just thought, yup that's Oda. And This is luffy.
The perfect Joy Boy
Back then, Sanji was chosen on the basis of "he fed me well". xD
The moment he said he arrived on set blasting John Cenas theme song he sold me on everything. Dude is the perfect casting for Luffy.
He could have also blasted the we are ost for one piece.
@@kairunikko nah, real Luffy would definitely choose john cena song over we are
Also sounds like something Franky would do 😂
AND HIS NAME IS MONKEY D. LUFFY!!!
@@TheBlackDemon1996 🎺🎺🎺
This kid has a deep understanding for screenwriting and storytelling, which is honestly not as common in actors as you'd think. He is going to go places in the Entertainment industry.
Inaki is the most likable kid in the world. He comes off with so much heart and light. Obviously he's human and probably has bad days but he just seems like the most genuine person full of joy. Perfect casting!
I love how he just views being cast as something fun and how he tries to bring fun to the set. I’d be so stressed worrying I’d mess up.
SAME!😂
Sounds like luffy to me 😂
He's a actor since he was little so it help haha but he's actor ethic is amazing
@@KaminkaeseHe’s Luffy
So in other words, Iñaki is Luffy.
When he notes that Luffy actually mostly listens, it was such an epiphany! Having read the manga and watched the anime over 15+ years, I’ve never thought that about him! But it’s so TRUE. There are times where he just peaces out in the middle of peoples’ stories, but he always was able to grasp the essential points of the person’s sharings, and takes immediate action. SOO grateful for such a dedicated and honest actor for Luffy 🥹
Sometimes he straight up falls asleep.
Something a RUclipsr has pointed out to me is that Luffy has a lot of emotional intelligence. He may be an airhead sometimes but I think he straight up chooses when to be serious and when to not be serious. Not because he’s dumb which a lot of people think he is. I hope that makes sense haha
Or he takes a walk like he did at Arlong Park instead of listening to Namis past
@@sline1276 He’s not that consistent, he can’t read, he isn’t the best at making plans or following orders. But when it comes to helping someone being abused or mistreated or saving a friend or innocent person he will do everything to make sure that it happens… and when it fails he never gives up.
@@sline1276bc her backstory isn't important to him. She's his friend no matter what, that's what matters.
He shows so much respect for the character, the fans and the Mangá by studying Luffy so deeply. He certainly deserves all the recognition and compliments he is getting.
This anime was a perfect example of what you can get when you take your time, AUDITION actors for the role, and go through the process to actually find the actors who embody the character. I didn't think a live action Luffy was in anyway possible until I saw this kid.
I don't care if the show ends up being bad or boring. Iñaki deserves respect for being the best possible real life Luffy possible.
if he really was the best choice we are dooomed since his acting is F'ing horrendous
@@pg8835your opinions are horrendous
@@pg8835put some respect on Oda the creator of the manga he picked him out so you legit gonna say he isn’t Luffy when he is smh 🤦♀️
It was great.
@@pg8835dude, watch it! he gave luffy a justice
I'll admit, Inaki definitely has that Luffy energy.
Fr lol
You kids make me laugh… Do you really think a guy that is like Luffy in real life can be a relatively successful actor. These people are all bloodsucking backstabbers
Absolutely not no one can do luffy’s character
@@DUDEWHOhating for what😭😭
@@yoppafree i’m not a hater, but no one can fr 💀
This guys is the real deal. His respect for the origins of the anime and his dedication to Luffy’s character and development is what makes this interview so mesmerizing. And it absolutely shows in the series.
Inaki and Jenna Ortega are two young actors I really like now. Both love their characters and strive to act to the best of their abilities. Those shows wouldn't be what they are without them in it. I am jealous of anyone lucky enaugh to call them friends or best friends.
And they’re both Mexican
And they also loved their characters ❤
wow bro you're so unique and different the way you've latched onto two extremely popular, trending and mainstream actors, it's so amazing and special
@@bryantorres1755 Jenna is american with puertorican and mexican heritage
@@pepelechad536Someone is hurt
They really lucked out finding him. He's Luffy. Period.
Edit: Some of yall are so funny getting the jibs of me saying PERIOD at the end. lmfao making my day.
Idk why but I hate period used in these kind of sentences😅
frrrr even Oda and the casting directors said that hahaha
real fans know luffy is heavily inspired by brazil thats why he has rubber powers , rubber production in brazil etc. so a mexican actor fits perfectly ethnically. hopefully plastic fans can put the "but hes supposed to be japanese" agenda to rest.
just put a period you dont have to say it
@@ginyuTV😮😮 you're stupid bro
That darn guy is so wholesome that even his out of character interviews make me tear up at times. The show's casting is absolutely amazing.
You know what? I hope theres a second season for this live action version. It seems like there's some passion behind it
Can't wait, binged season 1 in like two nights.
It was just confirmed! 😊
They actually announced 12 seasons! 😁
@@nansy603612!?
@RD-mp8bm They said for sure 6 seasons now that I searched about it more!
he's so respectful to oda's creation while also showing off how creative and how fun he is.
Everyone involved with this production seems to treat it as more of a passion project than just a series to churn out. I'm pretty confident this first season will turn out fine, maybe more than fine even.
This is why I’m hopeful for this series: You can see how much the cast and crew care.
This is where Ive settled aswell. Im prepared for the fights to maybe underwhelm considering the budget. My only fear is how the humour translates. Im optimistic though.
underwhelm considering the budget? it had a budget of 18M PER EPISODE. thats more than game of thrones btw.@@henaresadlier
and the mandalorain, under no stretch is this a low budget show
@@ThePieGuy7302 House of Dragon has a budget of 20 million per episode.
It's incredible seeing an actor who does their own research on a character and shows geniune love for them.
the casting director deserves an award. everyone in this show was so perfectly cast
And the casting director was the creator of One Piece himself
"Luffy is not just a ball of energy. He is a ball of energy who listens." - Iñaki Godoy -
That's something the great leader would do👍
The reason you getting picked because you made Oda laugh is absolutely heartwarming
that's also the first reaction Roger had when he first found the One Piece, he laughed
I’m happy the studio is including Oda in the production
He totally embodies the childlike optimism the character is known for. A+ casting choice
This was seriously one of my favorite live action remakes I've ever seen because of Inaki! He was Luffy himself! Such a true joy to see.
i like this kid! He's got the passion for the role emanating out of him.
Yeah I like him too
Totally agree 👍🏽
Agree
Love his mindset about not copying the original dub's thing because it cannot be replicated. He wants to do his own thing while staying true to the character ❤️
I think he should have copied it as much as possible
@@muscularleopard9613that’s also how you get cringey live actions
@@muscularleopard9613terrible idea
@@muscularleopard9613See how that turned out with Cowboy Bebop
@@muscularleopard9613 thats why every other live action was horrible
The cadence and pitch in his voice is just brilliant. I hope he’s greatly successful with this series but I’d love to see him get some voice acting roles
I don't know if any actor could do live-action Luffy like Iñaki does. He is filled with such joy, empathy, and passion. Fantastic casting choice and his accent adds a lil something special.
I really love how Inãki Godoy made an effort to really understand Luffy and what he represents. I think he’s perfect choice for luffy because he channels the character onscreen and offscreen
I like this kid. Hope the overall product has the success we all want.
He's very likeable. He seem to just be happy go lucky X)
It won’t. I hope I’m wrong, but if they screwed up cowboy bebop then they will screw up this……Cowboy Bebop is a much easier series to adapt then One Piece.
@@sideshowonacid even of it has Oda's approval?
@@Puyax01 that’s doesn’t mean much. Regardless of quality he is obligated to endorse it. It would be financially irresponsible of him to be negative.
@@sideshowonacid I get your point. Let just hope all goes at least not that bad.
This kid has a bright future ahead and one to watch. One Piece is the best anime to live action show ever made!
As someone who has watched a lot of One piece, I can proudly say that he has made for an amazing Luffy! He imitates him so well! Heck even my brother who dislikes any anime, has watched all the live actions eps with me and now is a fan. Well done for casting him!
10:55 “Luffy is a ball of energy who listens”. Sounds angelic. And Inaki couldn’t have put it better. Luffy is very observant to his crew mates dreams. The excitement and joy on the faces of his friends when they talk about their aspirations is something he not only sees, but understands. This is shown in whole cake island arc-Luffy vs Sanji, where Luffy refused to be deceived by the appearances Sanji was displaying in that moment. He knows true joy when he sees it, and the joy on Sanji’s face when he was talking about the All Blue was undeniable. Inaki was very spot on with this observation.
He's got so much charm, I'm excited to see his performance in the show
That little "wherever live takes you, have fun" - Speech at the end was such rawr Luffy-Energy.
He nailed Luffy in a way that I actually didn't think was possible
This boy is not just talented but he is also a very mature person who works hard. They found a rare actor for luffy
“I’m feeling so pirate-y”
So someone not familiar with Luffy that would seem cringe and out of character but that is something he would say. He just says how he feels.
That line made me laugh lol
that got a chuckle out of me
YES I agree! I’m kinda worried about the new watchers who will think it’s cringe, especially non geeks, cause we people who grew up with One Piece humour, Marvel humour, Nickelodeon humour just know and laugh.
The problem lies is this live action cringe is closer to us. It's cringey with the language we know. The japanese Luffy is cringey as well, but in Japanese. It's very hard to translate that part as we can't just translate what Luffy said in anime, it'll be worse than cringey I think
It didn't really feel cringe to me.
He is very cute. And his deeper spanish voice is also amazing.
Huge props to him on doing something people thought was impossible.
Making Oda laugh is a life achievement 😯👏
It reminds me of trying to make Gordon Ramsay compliment you.
"he said that I made him laugh" and what if I CRY y'allllll 😭😭
Inaki was born to be the king of the pirates. He has the physique, and charisma for this character my respects and admiration to my fellow Mexican compatriot.
I'm actually obsessed with this angel human

He was my favourite casting and now, knowing he took his time, loves, and respects the source material, I love him even more.
I’m soo glad they chose him. You can tell he’s not forcing that personality! Such a perfect cast
Brilliant casting. I’ve actually started One Piece about 2 weeks ago (currently on episode 300 and counting). Can’t wait to sit back and and enjoy this series with the rest of the fandom. This looks like a labor of love. Happy to be apart of it. Happy to be a new fan as well.
First off: Great that you started watching the show. 👍😁
Second: How'd you get to 300 in two weeks? 😳 It's taken my cousin half a year just to get to half the series.🤣
Third; Hope you have fun watching the rest, it gets better, trust me. 👌👍
@@ocarina269lmao they watched approx 7 hours worth, or 22 eps a day
welcome aboard nakama!! can't wait to watch the live action soon, let's goooo
Yo welcome to the cruise! We'll wait you in wano! Enjoy the trip!
Nothing happened 🔥💪
Inaki's charm and passion for the project really makes it easy to root for him. Shoutout to the production crew for bringing the world to life in a way that didn't make it look cheap or silly.
I started watching thinking I was going to rip this series apart, and by the time Coby and Luffy were sitting in that dinghy talking, I was in love with this adaptation. Inaki you were born to be Luffy. We are blessed to have you as the King of Pirates.
He's so charismatic and really understood Luffy. Actors usually avoid typecasting but he would also really fit Midoriya if the MHA liveaction is still being made
I’d prefer deku be a Japanese kid but I get your point lol
Yeah they’re still doing MHA lol
@@garenthal9638 too bad for both of us it will probably be the whitest actor with some made up freckles and a wig lmao
@@Chibiknux I mean I’d prefer Japanese but I’m sure there are white kids or Latin like inaki who could do it well
I really hope they dont
Inaki's message of doing what you like and really enjoying it at the end gave off strong Luffy energy. He is Luffy personified this show can't come quicker
While watching the show I thought to myself, "He's got it. He's Luffy!😁" And the fact that Eiichiro Oda, the creator, loved his audition too shows it! 😁
honestly Iñaki Godoy doesnt deserve all the hate he genuinely put so much effort into this and he nailed it too, i respect that
Nobody hates him my dude.
Literaly, this guy is one of best actors of this new generation.@@ilangilang7185
@@ilangilang7185 literally
I hate him
If anything, he deserves praise for trying not to mindlessly copy animated Luffy but do his own best version of Luffy he can be
i love how inaki respect the original voice actor and he didn't try to imitate mayumi tanaka because he respect her so much
We need a season 2 already!
Season one hasnt even come out yet 🤣
I 2nd that. 😆
We haven’t seen S1
Can’t wait for Arabasta
Nah don't get too excited first let the 1st season come out then we will see
He did an absolutely phenomenal performance, found this video because I wanted to see his inspiration, absolutely does not disappoint. Really hope we get a second season!
He's absolutely perfect for the character. His authenticity and attitude as a person make One Piece more magical.
Oda made the greatest decision casting Iñaki
"Why me? Why did you like me?"
"Becouse you made me laugh"
We all know that Oda saw the Luffy he knows in Iñaki. Iñaki deserves this role.
He’s so genuine, it’s honestly so refreshing
I'm not really familiar with the anime or the manga, but I'm really enjoying the new series, and a very large part of that is due to this guy. He's the most charismatic, compelling performer I've seen in years, and he's imbued this role with the perfect mix of naivity and depth. It would have been so easy to make Luffy too silly, too over the top, but he absolutely nailed it. He's going to be a huge star, and hopefully he has a long and varied career... so long as he doesn't get sucked into the Marvel/blockbuster black hole.
I’m Japanese and the first moment when I knew that he’s gonna play Lufy was like just “Oh, it was him, who got the role of Lufy”, but I identifying him with Lufy more and more day by day. I can’t wait watching your adaptation!
he's so freaking cute 😭😭❤ even if I end up not liking the live action, I literally CANNOT dislike this guy or the rest of the crew. He's literally the perfect Luffy, and the fact that he’s Mexican is a plus 🤭🇲🇽
He captured the character so well....I loved every episode!
Sometimes when watching this, I get this kind of dissociative feeling, where I just look at Iñaki and see Luffy talking to me. That's how perfect he impersonates him. Biggest respect.
REalmente que dieron con el clavo en este chico, muy carismático y si que tiene la esencia de Luffy. Esperooo tanto ya ver la serie.
Me sentía excéptico pero este chico me da esperanza.
Amo a iñaki
This is Monkey D Luffy for me. This is it.
Inaki Godoy is the perfect Luffy and no one can tell me otherwise! No one other than him could be this extremely passionate and dedicated to play his character/role as Luffy. He is the best Luffy we could ever have! And Oda Sensei saw that on him along the way.
This is perhaps the most perfect casting decision that has ever been made. He is Luffy. 🏴☠️
Inaki is so likable… thank you for the many details!
He worked hard for his character, I really hope this live action succeeds
He's adorable.
Luffy is a hard character to understand, even more acting it out. Just listening to Inaki's efforts to manifest Luffy in himself gives me goosebumps. I don't care if in the future One Piece LA will not as successful as expected, I will always respect how the actors and the crew giving their best delivering OP to reality.
His little grin after his accidental "one piece of advice" pun
too precious
He carries such a sweet energy, he’s the best
"You didn't become Luffy."
"You were always Luffy."
Iñaki and the rest of the cast is one of the best castings in any adaptation.
I was smiling throughout the whole thing. I love that Iñaki watched the anime for reference but at the same time he also tried to seek out more stuff about Luffy. I love that he cares so much about the character. We really found our Monkey D. Luffy!!!! ❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
hoping this show doesn't flop so that we can get much more seasons. we need to see a marineford live action in our lifetime
I swear if this series makes it to Water 7 & Enies Lobby, I would be so happy.

This was a great interview. best one in my opinion about this show. This was in depth and it really let him show who he is. I hope more are coming with the other actors!
