The filming of the new episodes of ONE PIECE has begun with a video from the set, yet another clip that shows how Netflix is not doing anything wrong when it comes to marketing this live-action. But there’s more: whether it was intended or not, the video in question includes a reference to Oda’s manga that is nothing short of wonderful (and perhaps not even intentional).
In the video, essentially, we witness the “reunion” of the 5 main actors who have conquered our hearts, as I tell in the review of the live-action of ONE PIECE. The crew shows once again how close they are even off the set, given the warm hugs and tears of joy in having found themselves again to continue the adventure on the Grand Line.
Leaving aside the very pleasant graphic quote, because each member of the Straw Hat Pirates is represented by his own icon that travels from various corners of the world to then land in South Africa, and also the fact that Zoro’s symbol wanders around randomly to quote the swordsman’s very poor sense of direction, the reference is another.
Those who know the original work, both manga and anime, know well that at a certain point in the story the protagonists are forced to split up, with the promise of meeting again in the same place no longer in two days, but within two years. All accompanied by Luffy’s iconic tattoo that reads “2D-2Y”, with the “2D” (i.e. “Two Days”) crossed out.
Seeing the various Inaki Godoy, Mackenyu, Emily Rudd, Jacob Romero Gibson and Taz Skylar meet again and express so much happiness It really reminds me of the Mugiwara reunion in the mangawho return to the Sabaody Islands to fulfill their promise and continue their journey. Not surprisingly, a couple of years have passed since the first season came out!
Whether this quote is intentional or not, we cannot know. But it testifies to how fully the group has entered into the spirit of their respective characters.
