Close - in an SBS oda said those are the real world nationality of the straw hats. But brook was Austrian, chopper was Canadian, Robin was Russian, and franky was American. If they actually went that route for casting it'd be cool

It looks like those flags are in order of who joins the crew with those nationalities in mind, for whatever that's worth.

I can’t see live action Chopper being anything but terrifying. That said I feel like putting in every Straw Hat in the first season would be too much. I think it’d be better to just do the first five and roughly adapt the East Blue saga.

Live action Chopper is gonna be a real reindeer, they'll make it look like he's talking by putting peanut butter in his mouth like Mr Ed.

In 10 episodes, how much of the crew would even show up? Series is loooooong & it'd be a shame to rush through the early stuff.

Ep 1 – Luffy / Zoro
Ep 2 – Nami / Buggy
Ep 3 – Ussop's whole isle dealie
Ep 4 – Sanji and the resturant
Ep 5 – Arlong part one
Ep 6 – Arlong part two
Ep 7-10 – Alabasta?

I suppose that gets ya to Robin.

I still think Naomi Scott should play Nico Robin.

Also maybe this is just me as a black man that's lived most of his life with a big afro but I'm gonna be real disappointed if Brook isn't black.

If Ace traveled to Wano I wonder if he ever had any kind of interactions with Kaido in the past. Since he's got king queen and Jack, maybe the spade pirates were originally an offshoot of kaidos forces?

Entirely off subject, and something I'm sure got pointed out at least once in here, but I wanna just get it out.

I was thinking about the silhouettes of the Numbers we've seen so far. I'm thinking that it isn't just Oda trying to make them scarier. What if they were test subjects of SMILES for Ancient Zoans, but they were a critical failure and they ended up as stupid monstrosities that even the rest of the crew is barely safe from?

My thought for how the first season of Netflix One Piece would hash out, assuming mostly half hour episodes:

1-Hourlong pilot, intro, Romance Dawn, Alvida
2-Zoro and Morgan
3-Nami and Buggy
4 and 5-Usopp and Kuro
6 and 7-Baratie and Sanji
8-10-Arlong Park

I'm not sure if I'd stick Loguetown at the end of East Blue or the beginning of the Grand Line.

I was thinking the same thing, but it does lean more into there just possibly being an entire Oni race of people out there, nobody I recall has ever commented on the fact there's people running around with horns other than giants relating to Oars

This was pretty similar to what I came up with in my head, except I'd put the zoro stuff in the first ep, freeing up an episode for Loguetown and having that serve as a proper finale with a preview of things to come. Also might split up baratie and arlong park so they're both 2.5 episodes each depending on how they oaced/scripted it.

I feel like there's definitely a story implied there. A whole bunch of Kaidou's subordinates have horns, and I don't think they're all supposed to be related to him. It reminds me of how all of Enel's subordinates had the same type of wings and it was later revealed on the moon that the three races of sky people were defined by their wings- but the wings were never mentioned in dialog.

Marco said "Huh, they're calling it Onigashima now. Interesting." when he first met up with the Samurai and Law. I bet the island itself has some history do with these people. Possibly it's the skull/corpse of an actual creature whose descendants have been getting smaller and smaller.

They have horns because they're horny.

On the topic of the character getting the redactions that's cool of Oda, though I know he may have formed his views in a weird way. Wasn't he close friends with the VA for Ivankov? Like as gross as the okama/newkama stuff sometimes got, on a like, gut level it seems to be coming from a good place, and I don't think he's had an evil trans/nb/nonconforming person in the entire series, unless that theory about Crocodile turns out to be true.

He's also got Izo nonchalantly hanging out with what I think I'm correctly interpreting as feminine hairdo and lipstick, which is cool. That's how it read to me at first at least. Typing this out has made me less sure.

Ivankov was directly based off a friend of his, the friend then learned about the character and then auditioned for the role of Ivankov in the anime.

I think Izo is specifically a cross-dresser, while his sister Kiku is explicitly trans. They're both presented as valid and cool. It's a pretty neat scenario.

In general I agree that Oda's depiction of gender-nonconformity comes from a place of respect. All the Okama have been explicitly good people. The problems in the past have been equal parts insensitivity to some specific issues and Sanji. Just Sanji in general. He's a problem.

Oda made a bunch of jokes about how ugly and unappealing old lady Kokoro was, for instance, but that's not because he doesn't like old ladies as people. Kokoro was clearly an awesome, admirable character. Oda's just so horny that he can't help but bring everything back around to how horny things makes him, and in the case of Sanji and the Okama... it resulted in something incredibly gross.

I could see putting Zoro in the first ep and having Romance Dawn maybe interspersed throughout.
