“One Piece”: That’s why the Netflix adaptation of the cult phenomenon has become so good

When a phenomenon like ‘One Piece’ gets a live edit with a huge following, such a project is greeted with a lot of rejection and skepticism from the start. After all, it’s not easy to satisfactorily re-release a template that has become so dear to millions of fans worldwide. But in the case of “One Piece”, the performance actually succeeded, to the surprise of many.

The Netflix adaptation of the manga hit released since 1997 (which has already spawned an equally popular anime series with more than 1,000 episodes to date), launched on August 31, 2023, was able to capture the hearts of fans and non-fans alike. by storm. Apparently the right people have come together for the new version of the fun adventure about Monkey D. Luffy (Iñaki Godoy), who goes in search of a legendary treasure and becomes the greatest pirate in the world. The great influence of manga makers Eiichiro Oda but must have played a vital role in its success.

“Everything Went Through Oda”

It is not uncommon for authors to be consulted when filming their work. But Eiichiro Oda’s involvement in the live-action series One Piece goes one step further, director Emma Sullivan and editor Tessa Verfuss told the website. revealed: “Everything went through Oda,” Sullivan explained, with Verfuss adding that this gave the team a sense of security:

Let’s get his feedback and do what we have to do to make him happy.” Because of course it is absolutely essential to have his blessing to deliver a series that the fans want.“That certainly makes sense. If anyone can make an edit stay true to the core story, world, and characters despite the compression, it’s the person behind the original itself.

The creators of “One Piece” had scenes reshot

The fact that Eiichirō Oda did not just pass everything blindly, but actually used his right of veto to achieve the best possible result, is shown, among other things, by the that entire scenes were even reshot if he had a major objection. Emma Sullivan also looked after im -Interview also a specific example: “We had already shot a scene where Kuina and young Zoro are fighting. Oda looked at them and said, “I don’t want them wearing the kendo masks. I want it rerecorded.’ So we went back to Cape Town and shot again. It was better.”

These descriptions match a letter Oda published in July 2023. In it, the 48-year-old already revealed that after the main shooting ended, several scenes that he thought were not good enough were reworked:

Despite (or because of) the lack of live-action expertise, Oda repeatedly commented on minor and major changes, some of which stemmed from traditional series mechanics. And Giving this important role to the mangaka, which at times, according to Sullivan and Verfuss, seemed to be even bigger than the production studio’s notes, has paid off despite the occasional extra effort.. “A piece of‘ is wildly popular on Netflix, so nothing should stand in the way of an (unconfirmed) second season.
