One Piece Live-Action Episode 1 Reaction 

That’s a great story! 😀 and knew we recognized that voice just couldn’t place it 😝

As of 2023, One Piece is the best selling comic of all time, beating out Peanuts and Asterix. So yeah, it’s popular.

I started One Piece with the LA. It may take you a couple shows to love it, but...I know I got HOOOOOKED

Not every year, some, bleach and Naruto was best selling in those to

@@bendoucet8641best selling manga not comic

​@@bendoucet8641 Currently officially only second best selling comic because it has to overcome the hurdle of Superman first - which was written by very different authors over a way longer period of time and had dedicated single chapter volumes. If anthologies would count One Piece would be easily number 1 because you would have to add the sales of the Shonen Jump magazine in Japan which has other manga as well but also the newest One Piece chapters.

That’s a cool fact 😀😎

Glad the creator was so heavily involved 😊

didnt oda also chose the actors?

@@L-W-ko1hn Yes

Oh nice! No wonder he is so damn good 😀

Also flirting and womanly charms have no effect on him.

​@@YukoValisHe's a child tbf 😅

6. Older women all fall for him 😂😂 (except Nakama)

@@YukoValis and yet he's proven to be completely irresistible time and time again - even when you want to hit him on the head

and he picks odd moments to take naps

Yeah he really nailed the nuances of the character 😀

It make sense in a way too you know lol considering that world is mostly water... snails is the most waterproof phone system out there if you consider ...

😎👍🙂

@@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 Those snails, also called Den Den Mushi, or Transponder Snails, are special snails that has phychic abilities and can communicate with each other over vast distances. The Humans of the world utilizes this as a form of telecommunication. And the snails don't mind cuz they get fed and taken care of.

Funnily enough, they are terrain snails. So they shrivel up in salt water... ​@davidho1470

@@ricorichardson5945 are you trying to overload the reactor with information... they not even at that part yet.

Nah, they did Benn Beckman dirty, he's young and built like Shanks, just as much badass really but the LA decided to have an actor that gives Benn Beckman the impression of someone old and not built, he don't look important character at all in the LA. That's a shame.

@@alvdansen7172 Fair enough, hyperbole aside, most of the cast was great

@@alvdansen7172lol, I’m pretty sure if we get far enough to see him do anything important he’ll be recast.

@@alvdansen7172 Do you understand pirates aren't as physique and handsome as you think they are from the anime. Real pirates or stereotypical pirates are gritty and greedy looking. Especially the Red Hair pirates who are one of the most stereotypical pirate crews in the franchise. Which is something the OPLA is going for and it should stay that way. Making every notable strong character look physique and handsome doesn't fit right in a Live Action show based around pirates. It fits well in the manga/anime because of it's art style and the Shonen demographic.

@@Liqhtmare I dont care about that, Im talking about One Piece!! Benn Beckman got done dirty.

Did it surpass superman sales...it's gonna happen but last I checked it was still in second behind superman comics

some reports of it still about 20 million volumes behind

Lucky Luke is iconic?

@@BJGvideos I was surprised too. I grew up reading a bit of it in the French Caribbean, but I didn't know people outside of French territories knew about it.

@@randomwatcher8673 FUN FACT FOR YOU : France is the second largest consumer of manga in the world. PS : I’m french lol

You're almost right, lol. Or rather, I think it's notable to mention that Zoro didn't just master the Three-Sword Style, he CREATED it (and, the argument could easily made that he hasn't yet mastered it at this point, that it's still a work-in-progress). And Nami is at this point a thief and a Cartographer. Meteorology -- or predicting weather patterns -- is something she's naturally talented at, but doesn't actually study until much, much later. If my memory serves, then at this point it isn't something she's even aware herself that she's talented at, just something she does.

I think it's more fitting to say that Zoro is the first mate of Luffy.

​@@MorenaEvensong She's naturally talented at predicting slight weather shifts, feeling changes in barametric pressure, etc. But she has also studied basic meterology as it relates to navigation (she does study it more in-depth, later). There are points in early episodes when Nami explains the workings on weather phenomena and we have other characters point out that only someone who has studied weather would understand how X or Y works.

Aw man… I was hoping to be cast as Mr 9😩! Really looking forward to Season 2 tho🤩!!!

Nice 😁

Agreed 🤩😍

I've seen it get folks interested 👀

@@kaialone i'm on episode 187 of the anime now after watching the live action. definitely want to read the manga but i'm in a reading slump at the moment.

​@@thehannahrobotoOnce out of your slump I hope you enjoy reading One Piece

I went straight into anime after watching. I am at Thriller bark now and at a point when "oh no, just 700 episodes left, so few"))

@@LeiaGreenleafable Holy damn. Enjoy the ride. You're in for it.

Same with Usopp & Krillin as well as Sanji & Trunks.

Zoro having a Vegeta connection and us instantly loving Zoro makes sense now 😜😁

Luffy's Japanese VA is Krillin.

We can imagine. First episode alone gives us vibe that it’s much more than just funny pirate looking for treasure 😅🤩

Looking forward to hearing about the remake and if they can condense the anime then that is for sure something we’d want to check out 😅

@@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 It will condense the anime for sure, but's it's not going to do any miracle. Even condensed, One Piece will still be around 600 episodes instead of 1100 at best.

@@Arkayjiya It definitely will not be 600 episodes (way less). Regardless it's being animated by probably the best studio in the industry (alongside modern-day Mappa) and will be 100x better than the slog of a pace the current anime is airing out.

​@@kappachino335 You're dreaming if you think it will last less than 600 episodes (unless it's cancelled of course). DBZ Kai only divided the amount of episode by 1.8. There are currently 1101 One Piece episode, at that same rate that's 590 in the "kai" version. But even if they go even faster than DB Kai (which is gonna be hard because One Piece has ten times more dialogue than DBZ, and you can't really cut that), remember that the OP anime is far from over. We've got two big arcs left in the manga, that's like 200 chapters at least, so 250 anime episodes at least (probably closer to 300), so the final episode count will be something like 1400, which means that to get to 600 for the new anime, you'd need to go 2.33 times faster. They're not gonna go any faster than that, not with a manga as dense as One Piece. This isn't Chainsaw Man where chapters are short and often have little dialogue so you can adapt 3.5 chapter per episode, that's impossible to do for One Piece. They can't even do what they did with Death Note which had tons of dialogue, but a lot of it was tense reaction face with no action going around and characters talking at the speed of light (pun intended). One Piece has everything, a lot of dialogue, ton of set pieces, a lot of action, even with good pacing this is easily 600 episodes.

@@Arkayjiya bro id be surprised if they did the entire series dont think they will but if they do they are going to cut a lot it for sure wont be 600 episodes they did the entire east blue almost in 8 believe me your dreaming if you think they are going to do that.

😂🤗

lucky

Cool, who?

@@BJGvideos Nami and Usopp

Nice 😀

We heard it was a great adaptation so we had to check it out 😅

While I'm not a dragon ball fan, that must feel so cool as the creator to grow up as a fan of something and then have those people voice act for YOUR story.

More than just a fan of it. He and the mangaka of Naruto both worked on Dragonball as assistants when they were first starting out in manga. They were both really close with Akira Toriyama (mangaka for Dragonball) and were both hit really hard when he died recently. Oda has said in interviews that Goku was a huge inspiration in how he wrote Luffy as a character.

​@@TheSwampianOda and Kishimoto were never assistants for Akira Toriyama. Oda was an assistant for the Rurouni Kenshin manga.

Zoro's English dub actor, Christopher Sabat, plays Piccolo, but Piccolo's Japanese actor, Toshio Furukawa, plays Ace. Zoro's Japanese actor, Kazuya Nakai, does play Tagoma in Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection F and Dragon Ball Super

Wait, 1112 came out?

@@rakhatthenut3815 I jumped the gun, my bad

I'm ace and a few characters had me going "mmmmmm"

@@BJGvideos I agree, some characters had me questioning whether they were the right choice. I think the main ones that I was a little disappointed by was kuina and kaya, idk if it was the lighting or what but they felt a little off to me.

@@aikawahotaru1657 Kaya was absolutely fine. She should look more pale because of the poisoning which likely led to the off-feeling. With kid Kuina they had limited choices: They needed a young asian-looking girl that speaks english very well, can act and simulate an engaging sword fight. Especially the last bit isn't easy to find.

Bi here, somehow he didn't affect me.

My knees are still weak till this day 😅

Isn’t Rurouni Kenshin better received?

Damn quite a shame you missing out an amazing story maybe one day you’ll continue on the other hand I want to see how far the live action would go.

@@AlexGamingAlexGaming02yeah, it seems people get put off by the sheer size of the series, with over 1,100 episodes and chapters. I’m nearly caught up the the anime and almost to the manga. As soon as I was seeing the hype around gear 5, I started and really enjoyed it and is one of the best things I have experienced.

@@AlexGamingAlexGaming02I got to that point quicker than anyone should have, but I still enjoyed it. If I would recommend one piece to anyone, I would go with reading the manga since it’s an easier read. Or if they want to go with the anime, I would say to go at the rate you are comfortable with, so don’t try to speed running through it just to get caught up.

P.S. In case you notice this comment: *And I understand me mentioning Dragonball Evolution makes you as new Dragon Ball Fans, makes you interested in watching it* YEA...DO...NOT...DO...THAT!!!! *Unless you wanna hate watch it*

P.P.S. And I am so adamant about this, cause I care about you guys. Like the Live Action movie is so bad, I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.

I don't know about that. The fan reception that I've seen has been pretty positive. Admittedly it's been more popular with general audiences, but I think overall, the fans love it, even if it does have a fair amount of inconsistencies.

@@grandpagohan1 yes, there's changes than what it is in the anime. But they adapting it from the manga side and Oda himself (the creator of One Piece) aproved the changes and i don't mind the changes at all, i don't really see it ruined the show for new comers of One Piece at all
