I mentioned somewhere way way up thread that my ideal live action One Piece would be directed by Stephen Chow and honestly, this new trailer has that right energy.

Monsters, a pre-One Piece oneshot of Oda's that was retroactively added to One Piece canon, is getting an anime adaptation.

:yeah:
Having talked about it with One Piece fans RL, something like Kung-Fu Hustle is how we've described the perfect adaptation. This trailer has gone over way better than the teaser did.

Seems to be Kuroobi. Arlong busts out of the Baratie at 1:54, so his boys being at the restaurant would track. Given that there's definitely a separate Arlong Park set that we see in the next shot, they may well be introducing Arlong earlier and making him even closer and more personal as a villain to the crew. It may even be that he's at the Baratie to collect Nami.

Zoro fights Mihawk outside a blue-green entrance to the Baratie (2:15). The entrance is undamaged. Arlong kicks Luffy through the very same door, breaking it (1:54). There's every chance that Mihawk just leaves after fighting Zoro, Luffy fights Don Krieg and then, instead of being taken away by (an uncast) Gin, Don Krieg just eats poo poo when Arlong arrives to cement the difference in power.

Honestly having Arlong and crew show up to "collect" Nami from an injured and exhausted post-Krieg fight crew is probably better than Johnny and Yosaku randomly happening to show up and happening to know everything needed to do an exposition dump. My only concerns are:

1. I hope when Arlong shows up Nami goes full "I'm betraying you" on the crew, rather than being kidnapped. It would really hurt the march to Arlong Park if Nami was just asking for Luffy's help all along.
2. How does the crew manage to sail to Nami's village without her (I think Sanji is semi-decent at navigating? Still need someone to know where it is, might be fine).

Wow, I had completely written this off until watching that trailer. I really hope the musical score is at least somewhat faithful to the original though, if it doesn't have throwbacks to some of the themes, I'm gonna be a little sad. They really made the original magical, and it's the main reason why I would recommend watching the anime over starting with the manga.

That looks really good! Live action Luffy continues to quip and they continue to actually somehow be good and fitting!

The only negative thought I had after that trailer was "well, now I don't need to watch the show because every powerful moment from the story was all right there." They really didn't hold back showing the whole emotional climax in that trailer. But I guess that's fine. If you're a fan you already know what's going to happen and it's hype, if you're not you're not going to figure out what's going on without context.

I do wonder what the heck this looks like to someone who's not a fan already. I noticed there were a few solid shots establishing how cool pirates were at the start of the trailer. "Okay, this is a pirate story and, uh, what the gently caress happened to that clown?"

The anime has the potential to add so much to this. Obviously all the animation references, but personally, the part that was hardest for me to put together and imagine were the Drums of Liberation. I expect this to sound incredible.

Sound- voices and music- are the one place the anime really adds something to the One Piece experience. The manga is honestly well animated enough that I can see the actions, often better than they end up getting animated. But I can't hear the characters voices unless I've seen them in the anime first, and I can't just imagine the music.

Actually hearing the Drums of Liberation along side animation that they'll be going all out on is going to be an experience.

DU WIRST NIEMALS ALLEINE MARSCHIEREN
one thing i feel like isn't mentioned very often in one piece discussions here and elsewhere is that gear 5 seems to literally change luffy's personality to some extent. i feel like sometimes people project goku onto luffy, but historically while luffy has silly moments in pretty much all of his fights, he's almost never outright declaring that he's having fun (vs arlong, lucci, doflamingo, etc.)

in the battle against kaido, on his way to awakening, luffy starts behaving differently. as the fight goes on he keeps declaring how much fun it is over and over. and this all culminates in what i think to be a fairly notable shift after he awakens where he's pretty blatantly having a good time in the fight. it is, to me, a little unsettling and the new trailer for the anime gear 5 kinda shows that. there's something a bit off about nika, he seems to have a taste for humiliating his opponent too with the way he tosses kaido around a bunch.

kaido did say you awaken when your mind catches up to your fruit, so luffy's growing enjoyment of the fight probably "contributed" to the awakening in a way. i'm excited to learn more about nika and who exactly he is

I'd say Luffy was having fun in his very early fights, then got more serious as things went on and he developed his "gears" to be more and more focused on performance in combat. And then Gear 5 kindof represents a shift back to his original creative joy

I think one weakness of Nika/Gear 5 is going to be that Luffy gets too carried away doing silly stuff and getting distracted from important things outside the battle. It already happened once when he was clowning around with Lucci and allowed him to land a big hit on Sentomaru.

i still have a lot of questions about luffy's fruit
is gear fifth a hybrid form or a full nika transformation? and what would the other form look like?
what if luffy eats a rumble ball?
how much has the fruit's own 'will' affected luffy's personality? did it 'choose' to get eaten by someone with the right temperament, since it's a god fruit that's been evading the government for hundreds of years, and especially zoan fruits have a mind of their own to some degree?
how does gear fifth affect luffy? is it taxing to maintain or just a spot in the regular -> fruit form transformation scale, where other zoan users can pick and maintain a form seemingly effortlessly?
i need answers, oda!

The music we've heard seems pretty One Piecey. However, if they don't have Overtaken when they walk to Arlong Park I will riot.

Edit:Now I'm wondering if Oda had a talk with the music director about drums a couple decades ago.
