7 biggest differences between season one of Netflix's 'One Piece' and the original manga and anime

  • Netflix's "One Piece" live action essentially adapts the East Blue Saga from the manga and anime.
  • While it shares many of the same story beats and villains, there are some differences.

While Netflix's "One Piece" is an adaptation of Eiichiro Oda's seminal manga series of the same name, it had to take some liberties and make changes along the way.

The live-action series stars Iñaki Godoy as Monkey D. Luffy, a young man with rubber powers who aspires to become the King of the Pirates. In the first season, he gathers the initial members of his crew as they set off for a treacherous stretch of ocean called the Grand Line in pursuit of the former pirate king's treasure, known as the One Piece.

The first season adapts the East Blue Saga from the manga, just as the "One Piece" anime (which, with the exception of the occasional filler arc or episode, sticks much closer to Oda's manga) did beginning with its premiere in 1999. Many of the characters and major story beats are the same, but the live-action adaptation moves up some characters from later in the story while also condensing moments from the source material.

Here are the biggest differences between Netflix's "One Piece" live-action series and Oda's manga and the anime adaptation of it.
