The "One Piece" live-action adaptation is fantastic, setting a new standard for live-action adaptations of anime and manga. The show takes Eiichiro Oda's beloved and iconic manga and translates it to the screen in a way that is faithful, but also changes things when it makes for a better story — like bringing in Garp earlier and making him an overarching villain for the season. A key element to the adaptation is the cast, which is absolutely perfect and encapsulates why people fell in love with the story in the first place, bringing to life the tale of Monkey D. Luffy and his quest to get a pirate crew that will join him across perilous waters in search of the mythical treasure, One Piece.
Of course, adapting over 90 chapters into a single 8-hour season is bound to leave many things behind, and unfortunately one of those was a beloved character...

Before the time skip in One Piece, all the admirals from the Navy were hated by One Piece fans except for Aokiji Kuzan. He was the only admiral who did not have a crude sense of justice like Kizaru or Akainu. However, One Piece fans were shocked to find out that Aokiji changed sides after the two-year time skip in the story.
Aokiji – One Piece
It was revealed that Aokiji was recommended for the position of Fleet Admiral after Sengoku retired. However, he had to fight Akainu for the position. Their battle was one of the biggest fights going on for 10 days, but in the end, Akainu came out to be the winner. This led to Aokiji leaving the Navy and joining hands with Blackbeard.

The dichotomy of One Piece can make anyone balk. On the one hand, you have the World Government, fraught with Celestial Dragons, the most corrupt and ruthless people alive. And on the other hand, you have pirates, some of whom are trustworthy, but the others are no less evil than the nobles.
So, who do you choose as the rulers of the world? When no side has the correct answer, you simply have to choose the lesser of the two evils. This explains why even a corrupt body like the World Government has some morally upright people working for it: Garp, Sengoku, Kuzan, and Kuma are some examples.
But who draws the line between bearable and unbearable evil? How could Garp let Ace die in front of his eyes by the very government he serves? According to a theory, he, too, was forced to choose the lesser of the two evils.

I do kind of look a little bit like Em,” he added.

Unlike The Last Airbender, The Legend of Korra had a different approach to its show, as it preferred to follow a more mature protagonist and deal with more layered themes such as politics, class, and Post-traumatic stress disorder (Ptsd). While the 2005 show was labeled as age-neutral, the sequel is more appealing to an older audience, who have an interest in these themes.
Korra
Though the show is undeniably remarkable, full of intricate world-building with three-dimensional characters, it is disliked by a percentage of the franchise’s fans. However, a fan has come forward and mentioned how some of the events featured in the show were quite unnecessary. If the story writers avoided making the story so complex, and how certain events did not make any sense at all.

A problem with adapting a popular work of fiction to a different medium is the desire to encompass everything, even what isn't in the source material. Sometimes this translates into good choices that take advantage of the new format and hindsight, like "One Piece" giving Garp a bigger role much earlier than the manga. Of course, this can also lead to unnecessary additions like showing the Air Nomad genocide in the live-action "Avatar: The Last Airbender."
Thankfully, the "Fallout" TV show is more like the former than the latter. This is a show that takes what makes the video games so special and popular — namely, its world — and tells an original story within it. That allows the show to be canon to the "Fallout" universe without stepping on the toes of any one game or retconning player choices. There are plenty of references to the games and characters that share...

Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece is one of the most popular anime ever. Currently, the anime is in its final saga after running for over 25 years. One Piece began in 1999, and numerous things have changed since then, including the story’s pacing, animation, chemistry, etc. During this time, the manga and anime industry also became mainstream.
The different arcs in One Piece portray several types of emotions. One of the best arcs in Eiichiro Oda’s magnum opus is the Marineford Arc. The Paramount War was a rollercoaster ride of emotions with Monkey D. Luffy and Whitebeard Pirates trying to save Portgas D. Ace from getting executed by the Marines. Even though it was such a fan-favorite arc, it was nothing compared to what Oda sensei has in store for us.

Blackbeard has been one of the most mysterious characters in One Piece. He was introduced as a member of the Whitebeard Pirates who went rogue after killing his commander. Portgas D. Ace was hunting him. Initially, fans thought it to be an open-and-shut case. But as the story progressed, Eiichiro Oda started to open the knots, and the fans were left baffled.
There are several fan theories surrounding the captain of the Blackbeard Pirates. Marshall D. Teach is the only character in One Piece to possess two Devil Fruit abilities. Most fans believe he has three Devil Fruits, the last of which is a mythical Zoan with the powers of a Cerberus. The latest fan theory adds to it by bringing forth new claims about Blackbeard’s split personality.

One Piece has often raised questions in fans’ minds about certain scenarios. Even though there are several fan theories to justify those answers, most of them remain unanswered. One question that has often lurked among the fans is why Luffy’s grandfather, Vice-Admiral Monkey D. Garp, never launched a full-scale attack against the Red Hair Pirates.
No one ever rightly found out the correct answer to that question since Eiichiro Oda never mentioned it. But one of the latest One Piece fan theories delved deep into the matter and found an answer to why Garp never attacked Shanks even though he poisoned Monkey D. Luffy’s mind and influenced him to become a pirate as he grew older.

Mangaka Eiichiro Oda sensei has a way of hiding easter eggs as minor trolls in One Piece, which later turns out to be of much greater significance than what the readers expect. And in this very manner, he just may have hidden signs here and there about who could succeed and carry on Bartholomew Kuma’s legacy in the saga.

While some might expect Monkey D. Luffy or Jewelry Bonney, the former Warlord of the Sea’s adoptive daughter, to be his perfect heirs, one recent fan theory implores otherwise. In fact, with an ocean of hints mentioned here and there in the previous chapters of the manga further backing up this theory, it just might be proven true over time.

While some might expect Monkey D. Luffy or Jewelry Bonney, the former Warlord of the Sea’s adoptive daughter, to be his perfect heirs, one recent fan theory implores otherwise. In fact, with an ocean of hints mentioned here and there in the previous chapters of the manga further backing up this theory, it just might be proven true over time.

The Monkey D. Family from One Piece is probably the most weird family in the entire series. Luffy, the protagonist of the series is on his way to becoming the King of the Pirates. His father, Dragon is labeled as the Worst Criminal in History. His grandfather Garp is one of the strongest members of the Navy.
Monkey D. Dragon in One Piece
Despite several appearances throughout the years and decades have passed since his introduction, Dragon, among these three family members has always remained a mystery. Not much is known about his devil fruit or his origins. As the commander of the Revolutionary Army, he aims to overthrow the World Government and the Marines’ oppression that exists in the One Piece world.
To the shock of the fans, it was recently revealed that Dragon was a part of the Navy and left them when he saw the injustice that the organization did.

In the world of One Piece, many characters have been given specific titles that depict their might and how strong they are. One such character is Kaido, who is known in the One Piece world as “The Strongest Creature” to ever live. He earned this title by defeating some of the strongest characters and climbing the ladder to become an Emperor of the Sea.
Kaido – One Piece
Even the main character of the series, Monkey D. Luffy, was unable to defeat him for a long time, which in itself speaks for the strength the Yonko possessed. He ruled over the kingdom of Wano for a very long time and not even the World Government dared to capture him or take a fight with the chief of the Beast Pirates.

With each passing chapter, the greatest anime and manga of all time, One Piece, is slowly edging towards its end. Currently, in its final saga, which is estimated to be comprised of 4 to 5 arcs, it is about to complete the first arc in One Piece. As fans like to reminisce about different arcs, one question that often dwells in the minds of fandom is: which is better, the Wano vs. Egghead arc?
Egghead Arc
The Egghead arc carries a lot of importance as it is the beginning of the final saga of the 26-year-old journey of Luffy and his crew, while the Wano arc gave us some of the most iconic moments in all of One Piece. Although it’s a neck-to-neck battle, Egghead emerges on top and is overall much better than the Wano arc.

Adaptations and re-imaginings are a tricky thing. They have to capture and recreate the essence of the original while also making changes for (potentially) a new medium, different times, and a new audience. The best ones recognize this and rebuild and remix the original until they end up improving it and making something that feels fresh and brand-new, like HBO's "Watchmen" series or Netflix's animated series "Scott Pilgrim Takes Off." Another opportunity with adaptations is the benefit of hindsight. Even the most meticulous authors and creators cannot possibly think of absolutely everything ahead of time. This offers an opportunity for re-tellings to bring elements that were introduced later in the original story to the forefront.

Jump Festa ’24 unveiled a special message from Eiichiro Oda, the creator of One Piece, hinting at the future of the Straw Hat Pirates.
Oda began his message by expressing his commitment to continuing his hard work on the manga, as well as addressed the challenging events many characters had faced in the series.
He then hinted at a destination where Luffy and his crew may be headed next, provided the crew can escape the Egghead island. He simply called the new destination as ‘That’ Island. However, Oda admitted to considering alternative routes but hinted that he might not be able to deter Luffy from ‘That’ route.
The hype didn’t end there, as Oda also disclosed a long-anticipated battle between two undisclosed characters, suggesting that the “outcome may lead to unexpected results”.
The full message can be read below:

Previously, in Netflix’s One Piece Episode 2, Luffy and his crew were captured by the clown pirate Captain Buggy, who sought the Grand Line map Luffy had swallowed. Meanwhile, Koby decided to join the Marines despite having a friendship with the pirates. Luffy’s hat held sentimental value as a gift from Red-Haired Shanks, who lost his arm protecting Luffy. It turned out that Buggy also had a Devil Fruit, known as the Chop Chop Fruit, which allowed him to split his body into parts to avoid getting hurt. However, Luffy ultimately defeated Buggy by trapping his body parts and retrieving the Grand Line Map. In the third episode of the series, we met a new member of Luffy’s pirate crew, and while the crew found themselves in a dangerous situation, facing a treacherous pirate captain, they would have to fight.

Aside from its literary brilliance, one of the most striking features of One Piece is the magnitude of its world-building and the sheer volume the main storyline has attained since the first volume was published twenty-five years ago. The still-expanding, voluminous narrative has often discouraged even hardcore otakus from venturing into the fictional world of pirates of the four seas. Understandably, while adapting the story for live-action, the makers at Netflix decided to omit, splice, and jump through several story arcs by jamming over 100 chapters into the first season, a strategy that will be followed in the following seasons as well.
To hint at the narrative that will shape up in the near future, the closing moments of the finale of the first season teased a certain character who will begin his hunt for Luffy and his Straw-hat crew soon enough. The individual in question is Smoker the White Hunter,...

Previously, in the first episode of the Netflix adaptation of One Piece, the story kicked off with the execution of Gol D. Roger in Loguetown, where he hinted at the existence of the One Piece treasure in the Grand Line. Monkey D. Luffy began his adventure, showing off rubbery stretching powers acquired from the gum gum fruit and teaming up with Koby. Together, they defeated Captain Alvida and continued their journey. Meanwhile, Roronoa Zoro’s run-in with Mr. 7 turned into a showdown, while the cunning thief Nami was on her mission to steal the Grand Line map. Luffy, Zoro, and Nami took on Captain Morgan to get the map and said goodbye to Koby. Garp learned about their actions, hinting at more exciting adventures to come, including Captain Buggy’s role. In One Piece Episode 2, Luffy and his crew confronted Buggy’s tyranny, and they managed to put an end to it.

Netflix’s One Piece live-action adaptation is streaming worldwide and has certainly taken fans by surprise with some of the notable creative changes, one of which is the introduction of Vice Admiral Garp. In true Shounen fashion, the leading faction of the manga series, pirates, must also face formidable mainstay adversaries, which in this context are the Marines, the peacekeeping administration deployed by the World Government to keep miscreants like pirates and bandits in check. Vice Admiral Garp is presented as the leader of the Marine fleet, chasing Luffy and his straw-hat crew through the East Blue.

A live-action adaptation of Oda Eiichirô’s manga One Piece sounds like a dicey proposition, especially with Netflix manning the ship. With decades worth of source material to draw from since the series began in 1997, a faithful adaptation would require a near-unthinkable number of seasons from the infamously cancel-happy streamer. Furthermore, compared to its Dragon Ball-inspired contemporaries, the material is unabashedly cartoonish, with much of the manga’s dialogue shouted by an enormous cast of characters with improbable abilities and bodily proportions. A true adaptation would be a more expensive, elaborate undertaking than Cowboy Bebop, which Netflix axed after a single season.
And yet, One Piece defies the odds by being faithful to its source while also standing on its own. Its first season covers a little more than 10 of 100-plus (and counting) manga volumes, making a small dent in the story of Monkey D. Luffy (Iñaki Godoy), the happy-go-lucky,...

The following contains spoilers for Netflix's "One Piece."
"One Piece" is the biggest manga in the world for a reason. Eiichiro Oda's magnum opus crafts a vast and fleshed-out world with a sense of history and lore, a story with complex characters and themes, and an epic story told across over a thousand chapters (and counting). Because of the nature of the story and its intricate writing, to even try to condense the scope of the story into seasons of TV — especially the shorter season runs on streaming -- feels like one heck of a challenge.
This is why it was always inevitable that the live-action "One Piece" show on Netflix would make changes to the source material when telling the story of the East Blue Saga that kicks off the story of Monkey D. Luffy and his journey to becoming the King of the Pirates and find the legendary treasure One Piece.

Review: Anime and manga adaptations come in two flavors: crap and cool. With the successful live-action takes on classic Japanese comics totaling a paltry number, fans are obviously hesitant when a new production is announced. For every Speed Racer, there...
