“One Piece” editor Eric Litman is “so excited to get involved” in the live-action Netflix version of the popular Japanese manga series by Eiichiro Oda, which was also turned into an animated TV show in 1999. Litman had previously collaborated with co-showrunner Matt Owens on Marvel’s “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” so he was happy to continue their working relationship on the new pirate-themed project. “When I finally got the call that they wanted to bring me on, I was just absolutely beyond myself,” the editor tells us. Watch the exclusive video interview above.
Litman calls it a “responsibility” and an “honor” to be a part of such a world-renowned franchise, adding, “You want to make sure you do right by the fans.” As he explains, “Anime hasn’t always translated well in the past. And we wanted to make sure that the fans really responded well to the show, and the...

The Gorosei have attacked with full force and the Straw Hats are having difficulty keeping the oldies at bay. Despite Luffy’s Gear 5 transformation, the battle is leaning towards the Five Elders in One Piece‘s Egghead Island arc.
In this dire situation, it is visible that another power-up is necessary to suppress the Gorosei. But since Luffy is already operating at Gear 5, a new transformation might be on its way from the swordsman of the group, Zoro.
Zoro’s Foreshadowed ‘Cutting Nothing’ Technique
Zoro could be the ultimate savior of the Straw Hats from the danger posed by the Gorosei. However, he would need to master a new ability if he wants his attacks to prove effective against such monsters.

The swordsman of the Straw Hat Pirates in One Piece, Roronoa Zoro, is one of the most popular characters in the series. His popularity stems from his extreme talent as a swordsman, his cool attitude, and his loyalty towards his crew, especially his captain, Monkey D. Luffy. Besides Killer, Zoro is the only member of the worst generation who is not a captain.

Fans have loved Zoro since the beginning of the series and have wanted to know more about the character. However, even after 1100+ chapters, very little has been explored about the character by Eiichiro Oda.

The latest One Piece episode brought with it a lot of exciting events, but it also may have triggered the fans of the cook of the Straw Hat Pirates, Sanji. In episode 1105, which was released on May 18, 2024, fans were able to point out a change in one of the scenes from the manga that resulted in Sanji missing out on his epic moment.
Sanji – One Piece | Toei Animation
This led to fans getting angry with Toei Animation for not doing justice to the character of Sanji, and some even claimed that the studio is biased towards Zoro and favors the swordsman between the two. Zoro and Sanji already have a rivalry going on, and fans believe that cutting out scenes like this undermines Sanji’s importance as a character.
Some fans even targeted the One Piece animator Henry Thurlow, who is part of the One Piece anime staff at Toei Animation.

The rivalry between the wings (Zoro and Sanji) of the future Pirate King, Monkey D. Luffy, has always been one of the most heated discussions among One Piece fans. While one-half of the fandom is always rooting for Zoro and his achievements, the other half is always pointing out the injustice that has been done to the cook of the Straw Hat Pirates.

If becoming King of the Pirates were easy, then every pirate in One PIECEwould be following in the notorious Gold Roger’s footsteps right now. To truly rule over the East Blue and find Gold Roger’s treasure, the One Piece, you have to be willing to face obstacles, including your fellow pirates — not to mention Marines.
That’s why Monkey D. Luffy (Iñaki Godoy) has won the hearts of his Straw Hats crew — swordsman Roronoa Zoro (Mackenyu), navigator Nami (Emily Rudd), marksman Usopp (Jacob Romero) and chef Sanji (Taz Skylar) — and fans of Eiichiro Oda’s pirate manga series the world over. Luffy’s resilience and determination to realize his and his friends’ dreams have inspired fans to follow him as well.

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

From Emily Rudd’s Nami to Chioma Umeala’s Nojiko, fans cannot begin to comprehend what went wrong with the wigs department over at Netflix and some even wonder if the streaming platform’s star series Stranger Things took up the entire budget of the streamer had for wigs.

Zoro is a legendary character, not only in One Piece but in other anime and manga franchises as well. The daunting swordsman is often the butt of jokes due to his inability to figure out directions. However, that has not stopped him from appearing in other famous works.
Franchises like Haikyu!!, Kagurabachi and more have included Zoro references in their plot, proving that other mangakas are nerds for Eiichiro Oda’s work. But make sure this doesn’t reach the ears of Sanji fans, or the rivalry between the characters might just prove fatal.

Monkey D. Luffy, the protagonist of One Piece, experienced the most significant growth in his strength during the time skip. After losing his brother Ace and almost losing his crew during the Sabaody Archipelago arc, Luffy decided that he and his crewmates needed to grow their strength to face the upcoming opponents.
Strawhat Pirates in One Piece
Time Skip is one of the greatest narrative aspects used by manga creators like Eiichiro Oda and Masashi Kishimoto. Although the major role of a time skip is to fast-forward a narrative, they also tend to improve the strength and abilities of the main characters. The only problem with them is that they also increase the age of the characters.
However, Oda, in one of his interviews, revealed how he tackled this problem. He intentionally introduced the two-year time skip so that Luffy and his crew wouldn’t grow too much in age...

Ma Dong-seok has been getting a lot of attention from the media in the last few years. While his work in the Marvel Cinematic Universe has certainly helped get his name out there, it was his iconic series, The Roundup, that helped his face get recognized. While this was the case in Western cultures, he has been a respected member of the South Korean film industry for decades.
Ma Dong-seok in Champion
Being one of the most talented and respected actors from there, it is not surprising that he is strong-willed and lives up to his title of the ‘Korean Superman’. It would seem that these traits were truly tested when he had to survive a true natural catastrophe.

Ma Dong-seok has become the talk of the town with the upcoming release of the third part in The Roundup series, The Roundup: Punishment.

Netflix’s live-action adaptation of the popular anime and manga series, One Piece, has been a big hit. It has managed to do something that many fans thought would be impossible.
One Piece features a unique setting, weird and colorful characters, and amazing fight scenes. And bringing that to life in a live-action format was always going to be a huge challenge, especially since Netflix has not had much success with other anime adaptations in the past.
Sanji in One Piece live action
But there are a few reasons why this One Piece live-action has worked so well. First, the creator of the original One Piece manga, Eiichiro Oda, was closely monitoring the making of live-action. But another key factor was the casting of the main Straw Hat crew. The actors who played those characters have been absolutely perfect.

Bathing with Nami is a rare opportunity for the Straw Hats in One Piece. Sanji would probably sacrifice Zoro, Luffy, and every guy on the ship just to get a glimpse of her. Yet, when the same was offered to Chopper, he did not even hesitate to turn Nami down.
Why is it so? Is it because he is an animal? Or is it because he is a Devil Fruit user and did not want to get into a deep water bath? Or does he just want to protect his modesty as a boy? Eiichiro Oda has patiently answered all fan questions.

There are thousands of characters in Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece, but Nami stands out as a fan favorite. As the navigator for Luffy’s crew, she even ranked top 3 among the most popular anime characters.
However, for years, fans have criticized Nami’s outfits as being too revealing, seeing them as nothing more than fanservice. Nami’s choice of clothing is actually a planned part of how she works.

One Piece, written by Eiichiro Oda, is well-known for its amazing world-building, outstanding character design, dynamic movement, and some funny jokes. However, one thing that seems to be absent from the story is any real romantic attraction between the characters.
The fans are quite passionate about the series. They frequently like to wonder about potential romantic connections between the characters.
Luffy in One Piece
The real reason behind this is the genre that One Piece belongs to, as romance is not always a big focus in the shonen manga. This type of story is predominantly written with young boys as an audience in mind, and the focus is usually more on action and adventure.
Why Eiichiro Oda Avoids Romance in One Piece
Romantic elements in shonen manga, such as One Piece, are quite uncommon. Sometimes they hint at it, but they don’t confirm anything until the story is almost done.

Luffy might be famous for his brave deeds, the endless kindness in his heart, and his inhalation of food like a black hole in One Piece. But the one thing he isn’t interested in is perverted adventures. When it comes to women, he is the complete opposite of Sanji.
Even when Boa Hancock fell head over heels for Luffy, he did not break character for a second. So when fans observed him getting a nosebleed over Nami, a lot of questions arose in their minds. Did Luffy have a crush on Nami? Does she really look that amazing?

Eiichiro Oda loves to base his stories on the real world. That’s probably why the betrayals and twists in One Piece feel so much more relatable. Many characters in One Piece are inspired or named after pirates who actually existed in history.
From Eustass Kid to Edward Newgate (Whitebeard) the list of inspired pirates is quite long. In fact, even the beloved swordsman Zoro is a member of the club.
Who inspired Zoro’s Last Name in One Piece? Zoro in One Piece
In a fan question-answer session, Eiichiro Oda revealed that Zoro‘s last name was inspired by the “Most Fierce & Cruel Pirate François l’Olonnais of the Caribbean Sea.”
François l’Olonnais was a French pirate, who was active during the 1660s in the Caribbean. The Japanese translation of l’Olonnois is Roronoa, which served as inspiration for Zoro’s last name.

Masashi Kishimoto’s Naruto Shippuden ended seven years ago, while his rival, Eiichiro Oda, is yet to conclude his magnum opus. One Piece is currently in its Final Saga, and it might not be long before the anime finally comes to an end. One Piece began before Naruto and is still going strong even several years after Naruto’s end. So, many think it to be the better anime.
But one statement from Masashi Kishimoto can change the entire perspective of the fans. During an interview, he revealed an important fact about his magnum opus, which makes him a better mangaka than his rival. Eiichiro Oda is considered to be a genius, but after hearing Kishimoto sensei, people might understand how underrated the latter was.

The creator of One Piece, Eiichiro Oda, is a master storyteller. The creator has amazed fans for over 25 years now with his exceptional storytelling abilities.
Oda has often been called a genius for his ability to plant easter eggs and foreshadow future events via minor details of the story. One of his greatest powers is creating suspense by creating mysteries and then masterfully connecting them through a single revelation.
A prime example of this is Kaido, one of the Emperors in the One Piece world. Kaido was introduced as an almost indestructible opponent for Luffy.

It took Luffy several attempts and powerups before he was finally able to defeat the “King of the Beasts”. Even then, the victory was hard-won. Kaido’s unconscious body drops into a pool of magma, only to get caught up in a violent volcanic eruption.

Eiichiro Oda has portrayed almost every feeling there is in his One Piece story. Be it fear, excitement, sadness, happiness, or anger, the One Piece storyline has covered it all. However, there is one feeling that Oda doesn’t want to draw in his magnum opus. And that is the feeling of romance.
Strawhat Pirates in One Piece
Oda has strict rules regarding romance in his manga and he may never change those. However, this doesn’t mean that he has not introduced the emotion of love in the series. Characters like Senor Pink, Sanji, Pudding, Hancock, and many more have expressed the feeling of love.

One Piece is a world that expands on a power system unique to its own. Each and every character has a skill set that makes them stand apart. Whether it is about the Devil Fruits, the Yonkos, or the mythologies streaming behind the river of possibilities. One of the most mysterious of the lot happens to be Sanji. His powers have so far been either a developing concoction or a brewing tale.

Zoro’s left eye, which has been closed for a while now, has had many theories developed around it. He first appeared with a missing left eye in One Piece after completing his training with Mihawk during the time skip. Some fans believe that he was injured during his training with Mihawk, while some believe he keeps it shut so that he can improve his precision.
Zoro’s Missing Eye
Knowing Eiichiro Oda’s habit of foreshadowing, One Piece fans think his left eye has some kind of significance that will be revealed later on to enhance his character in some way. Zoro perfected almost all of his abilities when he was training with Mihawk. He was not only able to polish his swordsman skills but also learn the Haki abilities.

Almost every character is unique and has left a mark on the story no matter how small or big his/her role is.

One such character is Baron Tamago, one of the Knight-ranked fighters from the Big Mom Pirates.

Although Lucci was incredibly strong, he could not hold himself in front of the Straw Hat Pirates swordsman. Lucci has come a long way from the Water 7 arc and his character growth over the years makes him one of the best villains of One Piece. And his Devil Fruit abilities certainly add to this title.

Rob Lucci shocked the One Piece fandom when he introduced the awakened form of his Devil Fruit in his first fight in the Egghead Island arc. His awakened form was first revealed in One Piece Chapter 1069 when he was fighting Luffy and while it did not have a chance against Luffy’s Gear 5, it was extremely powerful making it one of the best Zoan Devil Fruits in the One Piece world.

The cook of the Straw Hat Pirates, and one of the strongest members of the crew, Vinsmoke Sanji, or as the One Piece world knows him, Black Leg Sanji, has been proving his strength as one of the wings of the Future Pirate King for quite some time now. He has made quite a name for himself since the beginning of the series.
Sanji – One Piece
The only problem with the character however is, that whenever the crew gets a power-up, he is placed third on the list. This means that as compared to Luffy and Zoro, he will always be a step behind in terms of strength no matter what. The perfect example of this is the growth in the Haki abilities of the crew.
Eiichiro Oda has already disclosed that both Luffy and Zoro have the Conqueror’s Haki, which is considered to be the strongest Haki ability in One Piece.

The wings of the Future Pirate King, Roronoa Zoro, and Vinsmoke Sanji might be in the same crew, but as One Piece fans know, they do not see eye to eye with each other. They have been at each other’s throats since the beginning of the series and this rivalry has only gotten stronger since then.
Sanji and Zoro
Eiichiro Oda, the creator of One Piece has introduced many rivalries in the series, however, none are as interesting as Zoro and Sanji’s rivalry. With a pinch of comedic elements, this rivalry makes the storyline especially the battles more interesting. However, it has divided the fans into two parts: One that supports Sanji and the others that support Zoro.
The rivalry between the two has turned into a debate among fans about who is stronger and better between Zoro and Sanji. However, this rivalry between the two Straw Hat...

The first season of One Piece was a huge success with a lot of positive reviews from all over the world. As the first season has covered the East Blue saga of the franchise, Netflix is set to bring the Arabasta saga to live-action with the release of the second season.
This also means that the fans will get to see their beloved One Piece characters like Captain Smoker and Crocodile in action. However, one of the most important and anticipated additions in the next season is going to be our next Straw Hat, Nico Robin.

Furthermore, Vinsmoke Sanji is known for his hopeless romantic actions. Even though his stated objective is to find the All Blue in the Grand Line, his romantic hobby well outshines culinary ones.

Taz Skylar’s portrayal of Sanji is one of the rare few moments when a live-action adaptation of an anime gets it right. Eiichiro Oda is perhaps having the time of his life with the skyrocketing fame One Piece has gained in the past two years. From Gear 5 to the live-action series, it is one win after another for the mangaka.

When it comes to the most iconic anime in the world, the list can go on and on, but it would be incomplete without two significant works; Dragon Ball and One Piece. For years, Eiichiro Oda has come to praise Akira Toriyama for the masterpiece that shook the world. He has gained popularity not just in the eyes of the audience but also that of other renowned mangakas as well.
Luffy using Kaido as Jump Rope
Honoring the fact that the two had great respect for each other, they often wrote anecdotes about one another, giving boosts of confidence neither knew they needed. Toriyama’s untimely passing came as a sudden sorrowful surprise to either world, making it seem as if a part of what made it whole was taken away in an instant.

The Poneglyphs, which were introduced during the Alabasta saga of One Piece, are one of the biggest mysteries of the series. Not much is known about them aside from the fact that they contain the details about the history of the One Piece world, and that they are indestructible. As the story progressed, the importance of these Poneglyphs has also increased.
The Poneglyphs in One Piece
Out of all the Poneglyphs, the four road Poneglyphs are the ones that, when combined, can disclose the location of Laugh Tale which is the final island in the hunt for the One Piece treasure. This is why they are the biggest threat to the World Government and they have been actively trying to destroy them.
However, the strange thing about the Poneglyphs is their indestructibility. No one knows how the Poneglyphs were made and how they have been so intact even after so many years.
