Director Marc Jobst explains.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT One Piece director Marc Jobst reveals the three things that shaped Luffy and Shanks' relationship in live-action. Premiered on August 31, Netflix's adaptation of Eiichiro Oda's manga follows the high-sea adventures of Monkey D. Luffy as he searches for the titular treasure.
On the day of Netflix's One Piece release date, the director discussed this very relationship between Luffy and Shanks in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. Jobst, who directed the first two episodes, revealed the "three pillars" that were "incredibly important" to capturing Shanks and Luffy's relationship in live-action were "the casting, the action, and then how you frame it and shoot it.
It’s all about tone. Steve, Matt, the studio, Netflix and I talked a lot about tone together when we were working. If you make it too whimsical and too quirky, then it just becomes a bit silly and unbelievable. If you lean too much into the darkness of it — and there is some darkness — then you lose what is One Piece. Somehow you have to find that balance.
Part of that was about how we cast it. Part of that was how we shot the action, because I didn’t want it to be like the Marvel action that I’d shot or The Witcher action that I’d shot. And part of it was just about how we used the camera to find a style and a camera language that would somehow evoke that tone and the manga framings. So those three pillars were incredibly important: The casting, the action and then how you frame it and shoot it.
How Luffy & Shanks' Relationship Is In The One Piece Manga Early on, Netflix's One Piece effectively captures the relationship between Shanks and Luffy in live-action. In the manga, Shanks is Luffy's greatest inspiration and role model, and the relationship between the two is depicted as one of mentorship and deep mutual respect.
