Mackenyu as Zoro in front of a manga panel in One Piece
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT A Roronoa Zoro moment that Netflix's One Piece might have been tempted to skip in live-action just became essential thanks to a new manga reveal. One Piece earned its reputation as Netflix's best live-action anime adaptation by staying true to Eiichiro Oda's original manga.
Related How Many One Piece Episodes Netflix’s Live-Action Covers The One Piece anime has over a thousand episodes, so Netflix's live-action series has a lot of ground to cover. Here's what One Piece season 1 covers. Zoro's Sandai Kitetsu pulls him deeper into One Piece's expansive lore, drawing a direct connection to the franchise's very biggest villains. Moreover, wielding a Kitetsu sword makes Nusjuro a natural enemy for Zoro, giving the fan-favorite swordsman another fated duel beyond just One Piece's inevitable Mihawk rematch. Netflix skipping over the sword's introduction in season 2 would represent a huge injustice.
If the Going Merry sails onto the Grand Line without Mackenyu first recreating Zoro's manga and anime sword trick, live-action Loguetown could only be seen as a disappointment - especially after One Piece season 1 adapted its source material so faithfully. Netflix's adaptation may not last long enough to pay off Sandai Kitetsu's connection to the Five Elders and the sword's true history, glossing over its introduction would not give the weapon the respect it deserves.
