Without a doubt I hold this is a very bad decision for Oda. No matter what I don't think this will translate to readers of the Manga and at the worst it will shatter the Fandom. I am not sure how a One Piece primer would work since cutting things sounds counterproductive to get people into one piece.
The channel Frame of Mind made some excellent videos comparing One Piece to other properties.
I honestly doubt it.
Merphy's fine and bad at the same time because she's a BookTok chick. The fine is having a "mid" e-girl talk about your niche and the things she finds compelling about it. Plus, like a radiohead watching/reading JoJo and noticing Araki referencing music however he can, bookworms into One Piece can point out whatever fables, folktales, and other text Oda is referencing.
Probably. But again, we could have Vivi be captured by the WG and brought to Imu. Somebody earlier ITT mentioned the post timeskip arcs matched a lot of pre timeskip arcs, so that could lead to the post time skip version of Impel Down and Marineford, with Elbaf being Amazon Lily.
Garp is time skip Ace, but I think Luffy won’t come because Garp will say something imploring him to find the One Piece and how he’ll tell him what it is if he comes to save him. Koby is gonna try to pull a Marineford.
I thought it was well established by Whitebeard that a Marineford would happen once The One Piece was found. Also, Marineford showed that Garp would treat Luffy like any other pirate and would stop his grandson from reaching his goals.
Honestly i don't think there is a definitive way for people to be introduce to a long running series like One Piece at least not something that can't be curated by individuals who want to get into the series. The Live Action show is more of a way for people to get the basic gist of the beginning of the series and if they want to then they can go read the manga to get more details.
I’d say it sounds about right. Except I’ve heard some changes were made, like Garp doesn’t start chasing Luffy as early as Netflix had it, and they didn’t have Nami stealing the Going Merry to go to Arlong Park, and the barrel scene at the end happens after Loguetown, so Netflix has it much earlier than the manga. Also, Garp wasn’t at Roger’s execution, let alone overseeing it. And Sanji isn’t a mega simp (yet).
Doffy’s thing is having a big, hard throbbing vein.
Honestly, I don’t think you have to worry. From what I’ve heard, Oda is REALLY strict when it comes to other people handling his work, if Netflix is anything to go by.
It's not just Oda either, Toei and Shonen Jump aren't going to let anyone fuck with their golden goose.
Considering their other golden geese such as Demon Slayer, MHA, Black Clover and JJK have either ended or are about to be, they better take care of One Piece. They need a buffer until the next cash cow. Kagurabachi seems to have attracted the international fandom but we will see.
