News One Piece Live Action Series!!

I don’t get the white vs brown talk honestly the people wanting her to be “white” are likely to be racist

the real issue here is casting yet another indians(actually two cobra also) as a middle eastern coded character which is a real problem 20 years ago i would have understood it the whole 9/11 thing everyone avoided middle easterners like the plague but in 2025? so if they got an egyptian/middle eastern actress i don’t think it would matter how pale she is at least that’s for me

I am Surprised there isnt more outrage due to the Russian one

 

[Bisoromi Bear]

i don’t get the obsession with casting middle eastern roles as anything other than middle easterners

Make up your mind will ya

 

[Toby D. Dog]

Msybe you were the problem

When Emily herself has to come out and call you incels out, I’m pretty sure the problem is you people. Know your place.

I wonder if you morons realize something …

ODA HANDPICKED THE CAST

doesn’t matter how any of you feel about anything, he’s the God of the OP verse, he choose everyone and hand picked everyone, knuckle crawl back into the mountains and stfu.

Alabasta has ancient Hindustan inspiration as well, Oda wasn’t just taking inspiration from Ancient Egypt

we’ll probably see a mix of ME and Indian/Pakistani actors when we get to Alabasta.

What are some story changes you predict will happen in season 2?

With how season 1 didn’t pull punches killing off Merry and Don Krieg, I think Igaram is gonna actually die this adaptation.

The season will end with Crocodile 'killing' Luffy, this scene will somehow be much earlier in the story.

'Approved by Oda' is just a quality label these days. It passes off anything the franchise milkers produce as canon because there's fans who won't take something seriously if it's not canon in their eyes.
It's all marketing anyway

Exactly. Also Oda is the guy who said that Usopp's nationality is "African" and often writes english terms wrong. Even if he really chose Vivi,he cant understand the difference between indians and arabs

Or he simply follows his old author comments/SBS? advice 'it's no use me writing a manga if it's unpopular and nobody gets to read it'(paraphrased) and/or some of the staff explained Murica's cultural sensibilities to him regarding the middle east and he went 'alright let them cast Indians, show must go on'

no No NO it is NOT “approved by Oda” but “Oda hand picked these individuals” states so himself

also @ShinichiMugi

 

[ZippySpace]

I'm personally not bothered by Vivi and Cobra being played by Indian actors since it's just two characters. If we're in season 3 and Koza, Toto, Chaka and Pell are coincidentally all Indian actors and there's not a single middle eastern or north african actor in the ENTIRE cast of Alabasta then that's just weird.

She doesn’t have the it factor nor intimidation to have it work. Also, nicely stopped meaning much years ago.

It's marketing sweetheart

 

[Vivi4Nakama]

Hand picked by oda from the curated list given by the studio, dumbass really think oda watch all hundred b or c tier actor casting video one by one, they really think there no actress in their 20s with slightly bigger breast can pass the audition at all for all cast. while it so obvious its to avoid one new holywood rules " no male gaze ". And yeah, oda specifically asked koby to be nonbinary if you really believe what they say....

Goddamnit, just say you guys happy with the choice since you finally able to see yourself representated in american media rather than this mental gymnastic ,labeling and namecalling bullshit.

 

[sanjikun]

Oda writes the manga every week, supervises everything the anime does, supervises everything the LA does, supervises all the stuff in the Vivre Cards.

Crazy.

You're creating a strawman, nobody is saying he's handpicking every single actor. It's more that he approves them.

See this comment ?

So take your "strawman fallacy" deflection back, and use it on someone else.

Koby isn't non binary tho. Actor is afaik. Not character. Acting like someone you're not is basically what being actor is all about after all. I guess some people love making up reasons to be upset

Is it so racist to discuss Casting of actors?

Wow man you have the whole attitude, the memes, the profile picture inspired by the transphobic memes, what do you have that isn't racist?
