One Piece creator Eiichiro Oda has a response to his fans since the show is facing skepticism for being a bit different from the manga

“This bit is different” &#8211; &#8216;One Piece&#8217; Creator Eiichiro Oda Confirms of Making Changes to the Live Action Series

One Piece live-action has been getting much hype, even the maker has to pacify
its fans. Recreating a classic manga, show, game, or story into a live-action
show is indeed a challenge. Makers are required to woo the existing fans while
impressing the new ones. One of the top criticism that these shows face is not
sticking to their source material, which takes away from the originality.

Now Netflix has been exploring several genres, including the One Piece manga.
The manga has fans around the world, protective of its material. A lot of them
look at the live-action idea with skepticism, even after a trailer is out.
Responding to the criticism is its creator Eiichiro Oda.


EIICHIRO ODA CONFIRMS AND REVEALS CHANGES IN THE ONE PIECE LIVE-ACTION SERIES

It may be important to stick to source material when recreating something. But
when your inspiration is anime, changes are made to make things more realistic.
One Piece creator Eiichiro Oda took to Twitter to put fans’ criticism to rest
and explained why some changes were necessary. He admired the protective fans
for being outspoken, and in fact, enjoys their complaints. He feels that the
criticism comes from a place of love for the series. “This character is missing
or that scene is omitted, or this bit is different from the manga,” they pointed
to him.

For the creator, some scenes were not adapted exactly because they did not fit
in well in the real world. For several of these reasons, some scenes were
re-shot after production. The intention is to not make the show look unnatural
when fans actually see it with live actors.

Netflix has also been generous with these ideas, spending a big chunk of money
for making each episode. Here is what we know about the upcoming series so far.
