Netflix's One Piece adaptation excels globally but disappoints creator Eiichiro Oda with plot deviations.
Oda recently voiced concerns about the series' deviation from the manga's plot. He emphasized the importance of faithfully capturing the essence of the characters and their power dynamics. He stated, "A good live-action film does not need to change the storyline drastically from the manga."
Fans of the original manga and anime have echoed Oda's sentiments, noting that while Netflix's adaptation stands on its own merits, it introduces significant changes that detract from the source material's essence.
One notable change revolves around the character Merry, who in the Netflix version becomes a financial advisor rather than a butler and meets a different fate at the hands of Kuro. Such alterations have left fans puzzled and disappointed.
Another instance of divergence involves Nami's interactions with her village. In the manga and anime, her sacrifices are acknowledged by the villagers who are forced to pretend otherwise. However, the live-action adaptation portrays Nami as greedy, leading to awkward scenes that fans find out of place.
