The series of ‘One Piece’ that prepares Netflix It is letting us see little things with a dropper, although little by little the entire cast has been revealed and some first glimpses of the life-size ships that have been built.
While the trailer for the series finally arrives, what has been seen is a first image of the Straw Hats ready for adventure… and of course, fans have looked at her with a magnifying glass.
Fidelity or practicality
‘One Piece’ It has already had some minor controversies… Including that this or that actor is too handsome, or too ugly, or that he does not meet the impossible proportions of the manga, or that there is too much diversity or any other potato. Well actually criticism of the first image of Iñaki Godoy as Luffy has not come for any of thatif not for his sandals.
The first image let us see Luffy, Nami, Zoro, Sanji and Usopp with their backs turned and ready to board the Going Merry. From the outset it seems that her wardrobe is quite faithful to the one worn by the characters in the first saga of the series, but instead of his iconic sandalsLuffy is wearing slippers.
Some fans have been complaining about the beauty in networks, accusing the Netflix series of little fidelity and little care, and in the end Emily Rudd, the actress who plays Nami, has explained the reason for this change.
“All of us filmed as many stunts as we were allowed…and if we couldn’t, it was usually for security, which is where our incredibly talented stunt team came in,” the actress explained. “Unfortunately, sandals aren’t the safest footwear for these scenes, and you wouldn’t want to miss out on the amazing work that [Iñaki Godoy] can do and has done.”
Considering that the characters can spend half a chapter running from one place to another, the decision makes all the sense in the world. And more in the case of Luffy, that at any moment a sandal can fly off from a kick or as soon as he uses his powers. In any case, in order to judge how faithful to Eiichiro Oda’s manga this new one will be ‘One Piece’we will have to wait for the release date to be confirmed in sometime during 2023.
