They made Buggy way stronger. In the manga they didn't show him to be strong enough to hold Luffy down, nor did he use separation so precisely that he could avoid non cutting attacks.
They made Buggy more competent. Chop-Chop is a pretty strong Devil fruit but Buggy sucks with it's mastery as he never wanted to eat it. In the anime, Buggy Stabs Zoro in the back on the 1 v 1 because Buggy was more of a trickster that won by tricking their opponents in victory.
He is stronger since blunt force trama should work on him no problem but doesn’t appear to here. On the other hand we are giving credit because he managed to put up a decent fight. None of the straw hats are hurt in any meaningful way here so the spirit of buggy not being particular strong still stands. Was a cool fight but I wish nami was the one to bring up the crates since in the anime, it was her showcasing her thief skills to tie him up without him noticing
@@EduardoLopez-tged I get what you mean, but if you think about it, Nami did tie him up off-page so we don't know how she did. Maybe the guys that did the live action couldn't come up with a good explanation for how he manga to tie all his parts so they decided to change that part
@@ovidiuvergil the implication is as a thief, she is good at sneaking around without being noticed and allowed her to contribute to the fight using her skill set. For this scene they could have just had nami say, let’s use the crates, and it would have given the same effect
In the anime, while Buggy is too busy taunting and fighting Luffy with his floating head, legs and arms, Nami secretly tied the rest of his body so he can't move. But I actually like this part by making his body trapped in a box and show the teamwork of the early trios of Straw Hats Pirates.
Jeff Ward is such an underrated actor. Those of us who watched the entirety of Agents of Shield, knew from how great he was as Deke. When I saw he got casted as Buggy, my hype skyrocketed and he truly delivered!
It took me until they arrived at Arlong Park to realise he was Deke. The voice sounded familiar, but I only made the connection at the last minute. I hope after escaping Impel Down, Buggy celebrates by hugging a tree.
@@feathermanr7577 I'd argue that AoS is downright the best part of the MCU, period. I don't think I'd be watching every new movie and series coming out if AoS didn't get me so invested in that world back in the day. The scope of the series really allowed it to do the kind of character work that you don't really get in other parts of the MCU. I cared way more about Caulson and Daisy's paternal dynamic than I did for Tony and Peter's. Heck, I even care more about Daisy's relationship with her actual father than I do with Tony and Peter's. I even care more about Grant Ward in general, than I care about 95% of characters in the MCU. And I am the kind of person who watches every new MCU project, and I don't go complaining about social media that not everything is Infinity War-level good. But even I can tell that AoS just allowed the viewer to develop a way more intimate connection with its characters, and it was all the better for it.
Love the way that Luffy’s arms/hands twitch when he’s stretching as a sign of strain. That and the subtle sound of rubber/stretch whenever he uses his abilities. Bravo to the team!
they got rid of one of Buggy's weaknesses. In the anime and manga, Buggy's feet needed to remain on the ground for him to use his powers. They way the chop-chop fruit worked was, think of an invisible bubble with Buggy's feet at its center. His parts can move anywhere within the bubble so long as both his feet remained on the ground and in the center of the bubble. As shown in the Impel Down ark when Buggy's feet are dropped down a hole, the rest of his body was pulled down with them like nails being pulled into a magnet.
It could just be that the actual range hasn’t been specified yet, because it’s shown his body still lives at Arlington park whilst his head is at the barratie, plus it could be he was balancing on one foot, we don’t necessarily see both feet off the ground at the same time
@@pikabrook3724 There's an episode during the impel Down ark where the narrator explains how Buggy's powers work. Since the rest of his body is outside the "bubble" he can't control them or recall them. It was the same way in the anime too.
@@dragonkingdarkrider7118 the live action is not the anime though, also just because he can't control them it doesn't mean they still function appropriately, like he's separated from his heart, doesn't mean his heart stops, also that "bubble" was very exaggerated in the anime when it was only supposed to be about 20 feet in diameter, the live action is probably just correcting that mistake, plus the audience doesn't know that at this point in the series yet
The only scene I cried at was the Nami stabbing scene and that was primarily because I was remembering the anime one as well. The live action was close, but missed the mark on emotion.
Never thought that this live action adaptation could ever work ,even the idea of it is ridiculous and now here we are, i just hope they could do the same for fullmetal alchemist
theres a lot of things in the adaptation i like and theres also things i cant take seriously… but the performance of the Buggy actor is spot on and the laugh is exactly like in japanese version
Oda said that Buggy is his favorite character. Oda said that if Buggy just would train his devil fruit and haki a little bit more he could be the strongest pirate in the world. FunFact: Gildart from Fairy Tail looks like Shanks and has the powers of Buggy because Oda and Hiro Mashima are good friends.
@@Silentout i know one of my favorite Studios but top Gun was finished by Method Studios but they are now a Part of Framestore and yeah but i think Framestore Handled more the Creature Work because thats what they doing for the Most Part one the Last Projects Could also be RSP or Scanline who Handled this but yeah Eather way The VFX so far in the series are Great and Framestore's Work is unmatched Incredible 🔥
A detail I love about this is it really helps show the potential of Buggys fruit, if he trully mastered it combined with good enough observation haki he could be the next Katakuri, especially because he has the advantage of being able to leave parts of his body literally somewhere else, can't shoot him in the heart if he leaves that section somewhere safe.
THE CGI IS AMAZING. One piece totally broke the anime live adaptations curse, holy shit this really happened. Now imagine them doing Marineford arc - I’m a simple woman, even imagining it fills me with fire(though I doubt they will do it until that arc)
If people think Buggy is too strong.. read the manga. Luffy made light work of Alvida, Richie and Axehand Morgan. Yet Buggy made him bled and is dodging his pistols.. even his move where he rushes him. And Buggy only loses since he was focus on catching Nami. Also Buggy technically defeated Zoro He is actually strong as he is stronger than his crewmates.. the same acrobat crewmate who lifted the lion to block the cannon and that same lion who destroys the steel cage.
I think people overstate how weak Buggy is just because he's so rapidly outmatched by everyone who comes after him, but he's really not THAT bad. He's got a great devil fruit and pulled off some pretty impressive feats in Impel Down.
He was always menacing during Romance Dawn arc & he was called the most dangerous pirate in east blue,not to mention he managed to make Zoro kneel in the manga
" _I used to think my life was a tragedy...but now I realized...it's a_ *piracy* " pretty much the first thing that came to my mind after seeing Buggy in live-action 😅
I know some people complain about the Cgi, but the way they do it is so satisfying to me. Plus, thats next to the amazing characters, acting and soundtrack. I have no clue how they pulled off this much quality but I hope to see more of it soon!
I always loved the anime version where Luffy kicks him in the nuts to stop him. Also seems they forgot that Buggy's feet need to be touching the ground for his floating power, or being held by someone touching the ground as he stated in Impel Down
Now you combine this power with full body armament haki and you can turn yourself into a cluster missile launcher. This is a fruit that would be handy to have in a fight.
Chop chop fruit's awakening prolly can chop anything but Buggy at this time never actually learned it BUT him becoming a warlord make sense if you think about him figuring out his own DF 😂
For the people finding this adaptation bad or sub-par, keep in mind it’s adapting an anime/ manga about pirates with powers that live in a fantasy world filled with creatures like a talking reindeer. I think this show is amazing in how it achieves adapting that alone, but of course it’s gonna be cringey at times. Not every show out there has to be this gritty, serious tale. Not saying anybody has to love or even like it, just wanted to clarify exactly what this team is adapting.
Lmao the scene where buggy remove his arm off reminds me of the scene in suicide squad where theirs a guy who's does the same thing and starts beating up a bunch of bad guys with his hands and his arm later get shot up while his mean body start crying in pain shit crack up.
It is, he's just an idiot. The powerful devil fruits are only good in the right hands. Kaku ate the Giraffe fruit, which wouldn't do shit for most characters. Kaku is competent and was able to use it to amplify his own strength
0:42 you don't see that every day. That doesn't even seem possible if you think about it, with body organs cartilage and bones, i mean i'm no doctor but that was like... one clean chunk
I like that the CGI looks just a tad off in this show. Well, for the powers anyway, the rest of the CGI looks solid when they use it, but they don't try to make the powers not *look* weird, cuz they would. There is nothing normal or sane about what Buggy is doing in this fight and it shouldn't look that way.
