As the Release of &#8216;One Piece&#8217; Nears Us, Iñaki Godoy Excites Fans by Clicking with Original Voice Artist Mayumi Tanaka

What makes a great show apart from story and direction, is the actors or their
voices that we get used to. One Piece was one such anime that could make its fan
guess the character merely by hearing their voices. That is the beauty of voice
actors, who gain recognition and love by perfectly altering their voices to suit
their characters. While One Piece flourished through these members, it is ready
to take the next step now.

The lead actor of Netflix’s upcoming One Piece live-action series, Iñaki Godoy,
recently posed for a photo with Mayumi Tanaka, who gave voice to One Piece’s
lead pirate. While Godoy’s talent will be seen after the show’s release, Tanaka
is the whole soul of the original anime that solidified the franchise globally.
Both smiled at the camera as they held a drawing of the lead character, Monkey
D. Luffy.

Other photos also show them hugging each other, and him kneeling down as if to
get her blessings.

In an effort to expand itself, Netflix decided to make the hit manga into a
live-action series, bringing together a team of stars and makers. So far, they
have faced skepticism from fans that doubt their ability to remake. But this
picture almost acts as approval from the original member to the next lead.

But what do anime fans feel about this One Piece picture, and what does it mean
to them?

“Two Luffys,” said one fan, who was left emotional to see the photo of the icon
with her younger counterpart, at least in the fantasy world.

One anime lover could feel the magnitude of the photo, acknowledging how lucky
the actor is, while another acknowledged how attractive Godoy is.

The new Netflix show brings opportunities now just for him, but also for Tanaka.
Since many in Japan still do not speak English, the series will be dubbed by her
for the fanbase there. And a fan rightfully pointed out the same.

Needless to say, fans are excited to watch the show, and this photo has only
added to it now. The date for One Piece Live Action is set on 31st August 2023.
