Tanaka (Luffy's VA): Luffy is sometimes very cool, but Zoro is ALWAYS cool. Nakai (Zoro's VA) is resolute and cool when he is acting in front of the microphone, but when he has finished acting, he becomes a friendly person.
Nakai (Zoro's VA): In the early days of One Piece anime, I was often depressed after watching the anime broadcast because I was the only one who was not a good actor compared to the other amazing Straw Hat VAs.
Tanaka says, "Netflix live-action casts will grow up, so they need to shoot the drama quickly. But we anime VAs are much older, and we don't know how many more years One Piece anime will last, so we need to stay healthy."
