After taking over the world with One Piece

Netflix Adapts ‘One Piece’ Creator Eiichiro Oda’s 30-Year-Old Manga

Last year, Netflix took over the world with their live-action adaptation of
Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece. With the series reaching major heights of success, it
looks like the streaming giant wants to try its hand at adapting another one of
the creator’s mangas. However, this time, they have chosen a 30-year-old
creation of his, Monsters. While it was first created when he was 19, the short
story will now be making its way online.

In a post on X, it was revealed that Netflix had created an animated adaptation
of the artist’s short story. It would be called MONSTERS: 103 Mercies Dragon
Damnation. The clip gave fans a peek at what they could expect from the short
story. The post also revealed that it would be making its way to the platform on
January 21st.

The one-episode anime was said to be set in the same world as One Piece, which
is sure to excite fans. The story will focus on Shimotsuki Ryuma. He is supposed
to be a samurai and ancestor to the already beloved character Zoro. The anime
will unravel the story of Ryuma’s past and it might also shed some light on the
origin of Zoro’s famous sword, Shusu.

With Netflix putting out another creation of Eiichiro Oda, it could be their
chance to recreate the success they had seen with the live-action adaptation of
One Piece.


THE SUCCESS OF NETFLIX’S ONE PIECE LIVE-ADAPTATION

Just last year, Netflix took up the task of adapting Eiichiro Oda’s beloved
anime, One Piece. While the world was initially not too sure about how it would
end up, it became a huge success. It was so loved by fans that they could not
wait for the second season of the series to be confirmed. Thankfully for the
fans, the show was renewed just 2 weeks after it debuted on the platform.



Apart from that, the show also dominated the charts long after it was released

Just 2 months ago, the show also ended up surpassing the popular Sex Education
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/sex-education/] series, which ended in its fourth
season, with almost 120 million hours of playtime in its first five weeks.
