It's as good as they could make it tbh. There's something about Japanese speakers screaming into the sky that makes it less cringe but I can't think of another way they could've done this better.
Some parts of this episode were a bit cheesy, but not this, and thank god because it's easily the most impactful moment of this arc. Overall though the series so far has had more hits then misses, and that's really good for a live action.
I think the anime does it far better with luffys kinda absent mind responses rather then stoic. Then she asks for help and he gets serious. Overall though Im happy the adaptation is good and brings in people who wouldn't watch an anime to the story
this scene made me ball my eyes out just like the anime version of this scene did. plus the acting was perfect in every way especially when Nami stabs her arm 🥺😢😭
@@zyphyrisI honestly would have been perfectly fine if they just kept the simple and soft "Of course I will" that Luffy said first, because I believed that would have been the best way to adapt the scene... However, seeing him say the line again a couple more times, and slowly building the tension to the point where he officially screams "OF COURSE I WILL" was actually a pretty good move on the writers and directors parts, and I highly respect them for it.
My only gripe is that luffy hears namis childhood which kinda lessens this moment for me because what made is so touching was that he doesn’t know what’s going on between nami and the village and arlong but is willing to help the moment she asks. Everything else was pretty good. I actually like that they changed it from night time, and that luffy first whispers, “ofc I will” until eventually shouting. And the have the crew say “right” as if it was a manga panel was a nice touch
i think him knowing and still admiting to her he doesnt understand makes him more honest and trustworthy because even tho he doesnt understand he still wont abandon her or judge her
But he only heard everything from Nojiko’s perspective so far so he doesn’t know that Nami is actually trying to help the village this whole time. Luffy still doesn’t know Nami was actually good all along besides he own gut instinct so him helping her when she didn’t talk about the specifics of her side of the story says a lot of his faith in her
@@strawberryymangoexactly and only hearing from the sister makes it worse for Nami . Because it paints her as the girl who watched her mother get shot then next morning went to work for the killer. Out of context that makes her seem heartless.
the only thing i think i can critique is some of the audio mixing. i personally feel they could've made luffy's "OF COURSE I WILL" a bit more powerful, and not due to inaki he did great, but i wish they added the echo effect that luffy has when he yells in the anime, as if his voice is roaring and heard all through the world. other than that one absolutely miniscule thing, the scene is almost perfect to me.
When I first started watching the One Piece anime, I didn’t really like it and I thought about quitting. However, I decided to push forward just a bit more before stopping and when I saw this scene for the first time, it took my breath away. After all the buildup, seeing the raw emotion of this scene, and the walk to Arlong Park, I had never felt such a drastic shift in my opinion and vowed to see how deep the One Piece rabbit hole went. After years of catching up, not a single part of me regrets it because I kept going and was rewarded with one of the greatest stories I’ve ever witnessed.
And like in the manga this was followed up by Luffy like the badass captain he is getting right to the point and telling Zoro, Usopp, and Sanji "All right let's go!" giving the order for the 4 of them to take the fight right Arlong and his men and free Coco Village, and Nami from slavery.
I understand it happen in the manga and anime, but when you see an actual person screaming "Of course I will!" with their hands up in the air, it's pretty cringe. Everything else in this scene was great. The first "Of course I will" was fine, but they just had to re-create the anime.
Watched the whole series in like 9-10 hours. It was good. But every emotional scene is way better in the anime. Also, they missed some golden moments in the live-action that's only in the anime.
@@synesthete23 You are not that dense right? Zoro's character literally opens up with him cutting someone in half and him bringing his bloodied half body to a counter for bounty. Not to forget, Alvida smashing someone's skull with her weapon.
@@ProIshaanPuri Eh, even those scenes had the blood kind of subdued compared to the OTT bloodletting in the manga, though. I mean I felt Mihawk cutting Zoro was considerably more bloody in either source material too. So I think the amount of blood they showed is about what we could expect. They also reduced the number of times she stabs herself. I mean at this point, we're almosty literally splitting hairs.
To be honest I think that scene was cringe in the anime to lol. If luffy would have just stuck with the more serous "of course I will" short and sweet, that would have had more of dramatic impact, but of course luffy is luffy. There has to be excitement and hyper activity involved.
@@skunthundlerI just think alot of the luffy goofiness, exaggerated or distorted facial expressions and slapstick is something easy with animation and manga because you have such an extraordinary range of expressiveness you can play with in art, but it’s hard to capture that persona and essence in live action. It comes off as the character acting a bit Autistic such as how they portrayed Ed in cowbow Bebop live action. Though that being said, Inaki has an incredibly difficult character to pull off and he did a solid job. Even though its not perfect.
this is the only scene that kinda bothered me. it just doesn’t show nami exhausting all the energy she has trying to get luffy to leave, until finally realizing she needs help. i know it’s not a replication just an adaptation, but it just doesn’t hit anywhere near the way the anime did.
Hit me right into my heart. Nami actress got the emotions right and Luffy made a nice build up before screaming OF COURSE I WILL! And also... english voice actors can't do those CRAZY SKILLFUL PUNCHLINES as japanese seiyu do. Anime's "atarimae da" is much more voiceful and powerful of course. Nami didn't have to go all into the dying state just to ask for help here. It is good as it is in my opinion! :)
Emily Rudd should've shown us her feet in this series. I consider it a failure on behalf of the writers that she didn't wear her boots bare and kick them off for us. And she never had an accurate Nami outfit.
The live action did a decent job, but I have to say it wasn’t perfect. In the anime, Nami had a “crazed level of desperation”; to me, it seemed like they altered this to make her “not so desperate or crazed”. I felt the anger from Nami, just not so much the feminine despair or actually being helpless & weak. I just didn’t feel that original vibe.
I'm sorry, her "feminine despair"? It was the despair that almost anyone would feel when 10 years of planning and relentless self-sacrifice are irreparably destroyed and they suddenly find that they have to start from scratch. That's what happened to her character. If you've ever known anyone whose life has fallen apart like that, you would not call that crazed desperation "feminine despair". In general I agree that the transition from her lone wolf do-it-all-myself persona to the moment in the street where she has to have that final internal struggle over whether to give in, admit it can't be done alone, and trust Luffy enough to ask for help is done in a more raw and emotional way in the source material. I don't know anyone else who would call that whole thing "feminine despair", though. Weird choice of words.
@@kyojin2455You're telling someone to grow up when they're pointing out the very obvious terrible acting? Sounds like you need some growing up to do because you don't take criticism that well. You can tell the VAST majority of people in this comment section applauding this scene have either never watched a single episode of one piece anime/manga, or it's been so long that they forgot, because this is a literal embarrassment to the delivery and raw emotion the original anime scene delivered.
@@matics28Friend, the scene delivered what it should deliver in the context in which the story of the series placed it, I don't care how it is in the anime, the scene has to make sense in the series. And she delivers what she has to
