One Piece anime fans are in for a treat as a new behind-the-scenes image unveils an exciting peek into the upcoming live-action adaptation. Stars Iñaki Godoy and Mackenyu Arata, who play Luffy and Zoro respectively, shared a selfie on set, sparking anticipation for the show’s debut on Netflix.
Official trailer: A glimpse into iconic scenes
The image showcases Luffy and Zoro in an intriguing moment against a backdrop of hut houses, one of which intriguingly appears to be flipped upside down. While not officially confirmed, this subtle hint suggests the possibility of Cocoyashi Village being part of the adaptation. In the anime, this village is a pivotal location during the Arlong Pirates story arc, a time when the crew encounters Nami and faces off against the formidable Fish-Men pirates.
Amid concerns about successful live-action adaptations, One Piece enthusiasts can find solace in knowing that Eiichiro Oda, the creator of the manga series, played a significant role as the executive producer. Collaborating closely with showrunner Matt Owens, Oda’s involvement ensures that the adaptation stays faithful to the beloved anime.
The recently released official trailer offers a glimpse into the series‘ initial storyline. Viewers are treated to the heartwarming moment when Luffy hand-paints the Straw Hat pirate flag, marking the crew’s official formation. Filled with intricate details and nods to the original manga, the adaptation promises to capture the essence of the Straw Hat crew’s camaraderie.
