Line #99 Trivia/OnePiece2023


1	----
2	* ActingForTwo:
3	** For the first season, Jandre le Roux portrays Kuroobi and [[spoiler:was a stand-in for Smoker's adult self]].
4	** In the Italian dub, Federica Simonelli voices both Nojiko and Makino.
5	* ActingInTheDark: Creator/{{Mackenyu}} was given a fake script for his audition as Zoro.
6	* AscendedFanon: Numerous fanfics have Chew being beaten/killed ''just'' by being lit on fire, omitting the Usopp Hammer and Usopp Rubber band. That's exactly what happens here.
7	* AdaptationFirst: This is the first ''One Piece'' production to be dubbed in Czech, Dutch, Hungarian, Romanian, Tamil, Telugu and Ukrainian, since the manga and anime were not localized in those languages.
8	* ApprovalOfGod:
9	** Creator/EiichiroOda personally met with the cast, and has formed a friendship with Iñaki Godoy, even gifting him a Straw Hat in person. In fact, it's been said in interviews that ''every'' change made was run by Oda first.
10	** Creator/ColleenClinkenbeard, Luffy's English voice actress since 2007, [[https://twitter.com/ccarrollbeard/status/1458199870527901700 tweeted]] how impressed she was with the LiveActionAdaptation's cast. She would later say, "[Iñaki Godoy] already is closer to being Luffy than I could ever be."
11	** Much like her English counterpart, Creator/MayumiTanaka also met Iñaki Godoy and gave him her blessing as a worthy Luffy.
12	** Creator/MikeMcFarland, who voiced Buggy in Funimation's dub, was also pleased with the live-action series' cast.
13	** Creator/TiffanyGrant, Nojiko's English voice actress, was impressed with Chioma Umeala's casting.
14	* CastTheExpert: Roronoa Zoro is portrayed by Creator/{{Mackenyu}}, a trained swordsman and martial artist who appeared as Yukishiro Enishi in ''Film/RurouniKenshinTheFinal'', while Cabaji is played by Sven Ruygrok, a trained gymnast who once successfully auditioned for Creator/CirqueDuSoleil.
15	* ChildrenVoicingChildren: In most foreign releases, the Straw Hats' younger selves are dubbed by child actors.
16	* ContentLeak:
17	** A Netflix page for the series was discovered in March 2019, nearly a year before it was officially announced.
18	** A revised pilot script for the first episode, dated July 7, 2019, was posted on Scriptshadow in March 2020 and was leaked all over social media. It was eventually taken down two months later.
19	** The involvement of Creator/{{Mackenyu}} as Roronoa Zoro was first reported on less than eight months before the cast was [[https://variety.com/2021/tv/news/one-piece-netflix-live-action-series-cast-1235108332/ officially announced]] in November 2021.
20	* CreatorChosenCasting: As one of the executive producers, Creator/EiichiroOda had extensive control over the casting as well as the scripts.
21	* CreatorsFavorite:
22	** In the Reverie XI livestream, Matt Owens said that in this first season, Mihawk was his favorite character.
23	** During production, Taz Skylar himself suggested Craig Fairbrass to portray Zeff.
24	* CrossRegionalVoiceActing:
25	** Iñaki Godoy (Luffy) re-dubbed his lines for the Latin American Spanish release in Los Angeles.
26	** Taz Skylar (Sanji) re-dubbed his lines for both Spanish dubs at [=UniDub=] in Brazil.
27	** Aside from Taz Skylar, the European Spanish dub used voice actors from both Madrid and Barcelona.
28	* DarkhorseCasting: The approach with this adaptation’s casting was to grab complete unknowns. For example, Steven John Ward (Mihawk) is a casting agent who typically only acts as a hobby. He only auditioned at the urging of a coworker.
29	* DawsonCasting:
30	** Most of the East Blue-era Straw Hat Pirate actors were in their 20s when filming began in 2022 while the characters they portray are in their late teens, with Emily Rudd (Nami is 18 at the beginning of ''One Piece'') the oldest at 28 and Iñaki Godoy (Luffy is 17 at the start of ''One Piece'') the youngest at 18; the latter turned 19 towards the end of filming.
31	** Morgan Davies was 20 years old when he portrayed the 16-year-old Koby.
32	** Celeste Loots was 27 years old when she portrayed the 18-year-old Kaya.
33	** Kuina, who was 11 at the time of her death, was played by Audrey Cymone, who was about three years older.
34	* DevelopmentGag:
35	** One of the outfits Nami wears in the series is [[https://www.tumblr.com/akmu/727464274363105280/nami-and-her-early-design heavily inspired by an old concept design]], with some slight tweaks such as shorts instead of pants with a leg torn off and a t-shirt instead of a crop top.
36	** In one scene, Luffy mistakenly calls Buggy "Boogie". Originally, Buggy's name was going to be "Boogie", but Oda changed it because it sounded too similar to "Oogie Boogie", the antagonist of ''WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas''.
37	** Cabaji confronts Zoro while he's tied to a knife-throwing wheel. Back when Zoro was originally going to be a minion of Buggy's, Cabaji's role in the Buggy Pirates was going to be a knife thrower.
38	* DeletedRole: Dean Damonse was cast as Monkey D. Dragon, but most of his scenes were cut from the final release.
39	* DirectedByCastMember:
40	** Like in Netflix's re-dub of the anime, the Brazilian Portuguese dub was directed by Glauco Marques, Zoro's voice actor.
41	** The European Spanish dub was directed by Creator/AlfredoMartinez, who also voiced Arlong.
42	** In the Latin American Spanish dub, Creator/MireyaMendoza is Ririka's voice actress as well as the ADR director.
43	* DoingItForTheArt: Much of the cast and crew are all huge fans of the manga and anime, and have repeatedly stated they're making the show out of love of what Oda made first and foremost.
44	* DyeingForYourArt:
45	** Langley Kirkwood, Morgan's actor, [[https://mobile.twitter.com/langleykirkwood/status/1534043020378660864 confirmed]] that he dyed his hair blonde and gained 22 pounds to play the character.
46	** Taz Skylar (Sanji) not only took intensive martial arts classes to more accurately portray Sanji's fighting style, he also learned how to cook like a chef.
47	** Mackenyu (Zoro) actually got two extra piercings on his left ear to match the three earrings Zoro wears.
48	* ExecutiveVeto: Creator/EiichiroOda is extensively consulted on the making of the series, and he has issued a couple of these along the way.
49	** Any romance between the main cast is a "hard no."
50	** There were to be no changes to the origin stories of the various superpowered characters, and they got said powers through the Devil Fruits.
51	* ExtremelyLengthyCreation: The TV series was first announced during the franchise's 20th anniversary in 2017. Writing began in 2019 and production began in 2022, during the 25th anniversary.
52	* GodCreatedCanonForeigner: The original Mr. 7 was only alluded to in the original manga and anime, with Zoro relating the incident in which the agent tried to recruit him in passing well after the fact, and all that is known of Mr 7's appearance is from a crude doodle Oda drew in a Q&A segment. However, given that all of the features of that drawing are present in this adaptation's version of the character (outside of DualWielding cutlasses rather than only wielding one), he was clearly inspired by it. As Matt Owens revealed on Instagram, Oda sent a detailed character design to the product after being reminded by Owens that the original Mr. 7 fought Zoro in Oda's own words.
53	* HeAlsoDid: Quite a few actors were also involved in other productions that were, shall we say, markedly different.
54	** Iñaki Godoy (Luffy) starred as Bruno in the Mexican thriller series ''Who Killed Sara?'', which streamed on Netflix.
55	** Emily Rudd (Nami) appeared in Netflix’s ''Film/FearStreet'' film trilogy as Cindy Berman.
56	** [=McKinley=] Belcher III (Arlong) portrayed Agent Trevor Evans in ''Series/{{Ozark}}'', which also streamed on Netflix.
57	** Peter Gadiot (Shanks) appeared in the Netflix horror film ''Film/VelvetBuzzsaw''.
58	** Amber Hossack (Moodie) portrayed Kate Wiley in the short film ''Mind over Matter''.
59	* InternationalCoproduction: The series is a co-production between Netflix, Kaji Productions and Tomorrow Studios in the U.S., and Creator/{{Shueisha}} in Japan.
60	* LoadsAndLoadsOfWriters: The series had about 10 credited writers for the first season.
61	* MethodActing:
62	** Jacob Romero Gibson channeling the sadness of his mother's death during the filming of Usopp's flashback with Banchina was genuine, since it reminded him of his relationship with his own mother.
63	** Taz Skylar took professional cooking and kickboxing classes to prepare for his role as Sanji, ending up with a blackbelt in Tae Kwon Do for his troubles. He actually cooked for the production team while the show was filming.
64	* MilestoneCelebration: The series was announced in 2017, the 20th anniversary of ''One Piece'' and the first appearance of Monkey D. Luffy. Filming began in 2022.
65	* MultipleLanguagesSameVoiceActor:
66	** Iñaki Godoy, who plays Monkey D. Luffy, reprises his role in the Latin American Spanish dub.
67	** Taz Skylar re-dubbed his lines as Sanji for the Latin American and European Spanish releases.
68	* NewbieBoom: Many non-fans of the source material, particularly those who felt its status as a LongRunner was too daunting to get into, enjoyed this adaptation enough to watch the anime or read the manga.
69	* NoStuntDouble: Many of the cast did most of their own stunts, with only the most risky stunts being reserved for their stunt doubles.
70	* OfficialFanSubmittedContent: Shortly before the series' release, Netflix held a contest for Brazilian Portuguese fans to vote on Luffy's potential voice actors: Daniel Figueira, Lipe Volpato and Vyni Takahashi. Takahashi was eventually cast as the character.
71	* OrphanedReference: In the original manga Higuma taunts Shanks by [[FoodSlap pouring his offered bottle of booze over the pirate's head]], while in the adaptation he instead smashes the bottle on the ground. However, Shanks still refers to the act as "Spilling a drink on me" on multiple occasions.
72	* TheOriginalDarrin:
73	** In the Latin American Spanish dub:
74	*** Creator/DafnisFernandez, the second voice actor for Roronoa Zoro in the second season of the anime’s 4Kids release and the first actor for the first three seasons of the Netflix re-dub, returns to voice the character for the first time since being replaced by Alfredo Gabriel Basurto[[note]]Zoro’s original actor from the 4Kids release[[/note]] for the anime’s fourth season.
75	*** After being replaced for the fourth season of the anime’s Netflix release, Alan Bravo returns to voice Cabaji for the live-action version.
76	*** The narrator is once again voiced by Creator/GerardoVasquez, who was the main voice actor for the anime's 4Kids release as well as its Netflix re-dub until he was replaced by Óscar Gamboa six episodes into the third season.
77	** In the German dub, Alvida's original anime voice actress Anita Höfer was replaced by Angela Wiederhut from episodes 512 onwards. Höfer returned to the role for this series.
78	* TheOtherDarrin:
79	** Due to Siam’s GenderFlip, female voice actors played the character in the foreign dubs.
80	** Within the series itself, Don Krieg has two separate wanted poster designs, one used for his introduction and one that can be periodically spied as background set decoration. The photo used on the set decoration poster depicts him with someone other than his on-screen actor.
81	** In the Latin American Spanish dub:
82	*** Monkey D. Luffy is voiced by his live-action actor Iñaki Godoy instead of either the late Creator/DianaPerez (who voiced him in the first season of the anime's 4Kids release), Karina Altamirano (who voiced him in the second season of the 4Kids release), Ayari Rivera (who voiced him in ''Anime/OnePieceFilmGold''), Mireya Mendoza (who voiced him in the first four seasons of the Netflix re-dub as well as Ririka in this series) or Creator/DesireeGonzalez (his voice actress since the ''Anime/Dream9SuperCollaborationSpecial'').
83	*** As with Luffy, Sanji is voiced by Taz Skylar instead of his regular voice actor since 2006, Noé Velázquez[[note]]who voices Koshiro here[[/note]].
84	*** Usopp is voiced by Pablo Moreno instead of Creator/AlejandroOrozco, who has been voicing the character since 2020.
85	*** Creator/CarloVazquez voices Buggy instead of Manuel Campuzano (who voiced him in the first three seasons of the anime's Netflix re-dub), Mario Rosas (who voiced him in the fourth season of the Netflix re-dub onwards) or Gabriel Ortiz (who voiced him in the 4Kids release).
86	*** Arlong is voiced by Dan Osorio (Smoker's voice actor for the anime's Netflix release), replacing Óscar Gómez[[note]]who replaces Creator/HumbertoSolorzano and José María Negri as Genzo[[/note]] and Ricardo Méndez, his voice actors for the anime's 4Kids and Netflix releases, respectively.
87	*** Creator/EmilioTrevino becomes the third person to voice Koby, after Adriana Casas and Angélica Villa, who voiced him in the anime's 4Kids and Netflix dubs, respectively.
88	*** Nicolás Frías voices Zeff instead of Daniel del Roble (Netflix)[[note]]who voices Dracule Mihawk here instead of Esteban Desco or Jorge Badillo[[/note]] or Jorge Santos (4Kids).
89	*** Brandon Santini takes over for Creator/ErnestoLezama (4Kids) and Fidel Garriga Jr. (Netflix) as Nezumi.
90	*** Ricardo Brust replaces Creator/GabrielPingarron (Netflix) and Arturo Casanova (4Kids, died in 2021) as Gold Roger.
91	*** Creator/ArturoMercadoJr voices Kuro/Klahadore instead of Armando Coria (Netflix) or Jorge García (4Kids).
92	*** Creator/HumbertoSolorzano and Óscar López respectively voice Kuroobi and Chew instead of their voice actors from the anime's Netflix release, Salvador Reyes and Alan Prieto.
93	*** Boodle is voiced by Creator/JesseConde, who replaces Alejandro Mayén (the voice actor who played him in the anime's 4Kids release) and Creator/HermanLopez (who voiced him in the anime's Netflix release before he succumbed to spinal surgery complications in December 2021).
94	** While the Brazilian Portuguese dubs of the anime and the live-action series were still dubbed at [=UniDub=] in São Paulo, there were some recasts. For example:
95	*** Monkey D. Luffy is voiced by Vyni Takahashi instead of either Vagner Fagundes (DPN Santos) or Carol Valença ([=UniDub=]).
96	*** Leonardo Santhos voices Don Krieg instead of Guilherme Lopes (DPN Santos) or Gilberto Baroli ([=UniDub=]).
97	*** Gold Roger is voiced by Ricardo Rossatto instead of Leonardo José due to the latter succumbing to lung cancer in 2021.
98	** Since 2001, the Italian release of the franchise's animated productions have been primarily dubbed in Milan. For the 2023 series, the work was instead dubbed in Rome and everyone was inevitably recast, with Luffy going from Creator/RenatoNovara to Creator/LeonardoDellaBianca, Zoro from Creator/PatrizioPrata to Creator/ManuelMeli, Nami from Creator/EmanuelaPacotto to Creator/VeronicaPuccio, Usopp from Creator/LucaBottale to Creator/AlexPolidori and Sanji from Creator/LorenzoScattorin to Creator/AlessandroCampaiola. In a curious case, Novara voices Shanks in the live-action series.
99	** In the German dub:
100	*** Martin Bonvicini takes over as the voice of Helmeppo, after Oliver Stritzel and Gerd Meyer.
101	*** Christian Weygand voices Zeff instead of his anime voice actor Dirk Galuba.
102	*** Oliver Scheffel replaces Ziad Ragheb and Uwe Kosubek as Cabaji.
103	*** Hans-Rainer Müller voices Boodle instead of Michael Rüth due to the latter's 2013 retirement.
104	*** Philipp Moog voices Kuro instead of Walter von Hauff, who voices Mornin in this adaptation.
105	** In the Japanese dub, besides the fact that the live-action adaptation is the first Japanese voice-acted ''One Piece'' work outside the anime adaptations and stage productions, some of their voice actors have been recast:
106	*** Creator/HirokiTochi replaces Creator/JurotaKosugi, who has previously voiced Arlong in all Japanese ''One Piece'' media.
107	*** Creator/HiroshiIwasaki (who voiced Kurozumi Orochi and Dr. Hogback in the anime) replaces the late Creator/JojiYanami as Boodle.
108	*** Creator/KenjiNomura voices Koshiro instead of Creator/UnshoIshizuka due to the latter's 2018 death.
109	*** Akiko Utsumi takes over for Hiromi Nishikawa as Moodie.
110	** For the European French dub, everyone was recast due to the anime and live-action series being dubbed in different studios (specifically, the anime’s second dub by Toei was produced in Belgium from 2008 to 2010 and again since 2015, while this series was dubbed in France, where the anime’s second dub was produced from 2010 to 2015). For example, Luffy, voiced by Stéphane Excoffier since 2008, is voiced here by Oscar Douieb.
111	** In the European Spanish dub:
112	*** Monkey D. Luffy is voiced by Creator/JonSamaniego instead of Jaime Roca.
113	*** Roronoa Zoro is voiced by Creator/SergioLiebana instead of Creator/JorgeSaudinos, who voices [[ActingForTwo the first Mr. 7 and Patty]] here.
114	*** Creator/LauraPastor voices Nami instead of Creator/DianaTorres.
115	*** Usopp is voiced by Creator/EdsonFerrero instead of Creator/PepeCarabias.
116	*** As in the Latin Spanish dub, Taz Skylar voices Sanji instead of Creator/AlfredoMartinez. Oddly enough, Martínez replaces Creator/FranciscoAndresValdivia as Arlong.
117	*** Creator/MiguelAngelJenner takes over as the narrator instead of Creator/JuanCarlosLozano[[note]]who [[RoleReprise reprises his role]] as Gold Roger and voices Kuroobi here[[/note]] and Miguel Ángel Pérez.
118	* ProductionPosse:
119	** Director Marc Jobst and cinematographer Nicole Hirsch Whitaker previously worked together on ''Series/JupitersLegacy'', another Netflix series.
120	** Several of the crew members also worked on ''Series/BlackSails'', which was also filmed at Cape Town Film Studios.
121	* PromotedFanboy:
122	** Executive producers Marty Adelstein, Steve Maeda and Matt Owens, along with actors Emily Rudd (Nami) and Creator/{{Mackenyu}} (Zoro) as well as cinematographer Nicole Hirsch Whitaker and composers Sonya Belousova and Giona Ostinelli are longtime fans of ''One Piece''. Rudd and Mackenyu even stated that they were portraying their favourite characters from the series, which was a dream come true for them.
123	** Iñaki Godoy arrived to a meeting with Oda not only overjoyed to meet him in person, but with a piece of fanart and letter thanking Oda for making ''One Piece'' in the first place.
124	* RealLifeRelative: In the Latin American Spanish dub:
125	** Carlos Eduardo Guilbert, who voices Luffy as a child, is the grandson of the late Creator/HermanLopez, who voiced Boodle in the anime's Netflix adaptation.
126	** Ananda García voices the younger Nami, while her mother Kerygma Flores has been voicing Nico Robin since 2007.
127	** Constanza García, who voices the younger Nojiko, is the daughter of Creator/XochitlUgarte, who voiced Kuina in the anime's 4Kids adaptation.
128	* RecursiveImport: As a Netflix original and a foreign adaptation of the original manga, the live-action series is also dubbed in Japanese.
129	* RecycledSet: One reason the show filmed in South Africa was to take advantage of several ship sets leftover from ''Series/BlackSails''. The ships were then redressed to fit ''One Piece'''s needs. For example, the ''Man O’ War'' was reused for the ''Miss Love Duck'' scenes in “Romance Dawn”.
130	* RecycledTheSeries: The series marks the first live-action adaptation of Eiichiro Oda's manga.
131	* RoleReprise: Tons for the various foreign dubs.
132	** In the Japanese dub, Creator/MayumiTanaka (Luffy), Creator/KazuyaNakai (Zoro), Creator/AkemiOkamura (Nami), Creator/KappeiYamaguchi (Usopp), Creator/HiroakiHirata (Sanji), Creator/ShuichiIkeda (Shanks), Masane Tsukayama (the second Gold Roger), Creator/MikaDoi (Koby), Creator/KoichiNagano (Helmeppo), Creator/YokoMatsuoka (Alvida), Creator/ShigeruChiba (Buggy), Creator/JinDomon (Lucky Roux and Merry), Creator/MarikoKouda (Kaya), Creator/WakanaYamazaki (Nojiko) and Creator/MahitoOba (Narrator) reprise their roles again from the anime.
133	** The Latin American Spanish dub brought back many of the previous voice actors from the anime's Netflix dub, like Creator/GeorginaSanchez (Nami), Creator/DafnisFernandez (Zoro), Creator/RaulAnaya (Shanks), Mauricio Pérez (Lucky Roux), Creator/EricaEdwards (Alvida), Daniel Lacy (Helmeppo), Creator/VictorCovarrubias (Krieg), Maggie Vera (Belle-Mère), Adriana Olmedo (Nojiko), César Beltrán (Morgan), Marco Guerrero (Higuma) and Creator/GerardoVasquez (Narrator).
134	** The German dub also brings back most of the voice actors from the animated productions such as Daniel Schlauch as Monkey D. Luffy, Uwe Thomsen[[note]]who took over for Philipp Brammer shortly before his fatal mountain accident in July 2014[[/note]] as Roronoa Zoro, Stephanie Kellner as Nami, Dirk Meyer as Usopp, Hubertus von Lerchenfeld as Sanji and Markus Kästle as the narrator.
135	** The Brazilian Portuguese dub keeps nearly all of the [=UniDub=] voice actors for the Straw Hat Pirates (as well as Wellington Lima as Arlong, Priscila Franco as Nojiko, Silvio Giraldi as Shanks and Carlos Silveira as Zeff), with only the exceptions being the ones for Luffy and Krieg.
136	** The European Spanish dub brings back Juan Carlos Lozano as Gold Roger from ''Anime/OnePieceStampede''.
137	* SelfAdaptation: Creator/EiichiroOda was extensively involved with the live-action series' production to make sure it stayed true to his creation.
138	* SoMyKidsCanWatch: Nicole Hirsch Whitaker, the cinematographer for the show's first two episodes, cited her son being a ''One Piece'' fan as a reason for her involvement.
139	* StarMakingRole: While the principal actors had their respective fans before the show, starring in One Piece caused their popularity to explode to a much wider audience. In particular, Taz Skylar (Sanji) became a much bigger name due to his role in the show more than anyone else [[note]]In August of 2023, he had an Instagram following of just under 300,000 - as of April 2024, he now has close to 2,000,000, a much wider margin of new followers than his castmates[[/note]]. This fact is not lost on the show's social media team, as he now features very prominently in marketing.
140	* ThoseTwoActors:
141	** Taz Skylar (Sanji) wrote and starred as Miles in the stage play ''Warheads'', while Craig Fairbrass (Zeff) played his father figure, Deeks.
142	** The Latin American Spanish dub marks the second occasion Creator/GeorginaSanchez and Ananda García appeared as a character's older and younger selves, after voicing Kyoko Hori in the live-action adaptation of ''Horimiya''.
143	* ThrowItIn: The scene where the Straw Hat Pirates do the barrel pledge and restate their dreams while it synchs up with their younger selves saying their dream wasn't originally in the script. It originally was going to have just the adult Straw Hats say their dreams, but one of the editors cut together the version with younger Straw Hats involved and when the showrunner, Steven Maeda, saw the scene, he was so amazed by it that he decided to keep it in.
144	* TroubledProduction: Like most projects of TheNewTwenties, production of Season 1 was delayed due to the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic. Work on Season 2 was delayed by the 2023 Hollywood strikes.
145	* UncreditedRole:
146	** The actor who plays [[spoiler:adult Captain Smoker]] is not listed in the credits. It was later revealed through [[https://twitter.com/OPLAfandom/status/1758104439804543163 behind the scenes footage]] to be Jandre le Roux (Kuroobi's actor) standing in, as the scene was a last minute addition.
147	** Dean Damonse's casting as Monkey D. Dragon was publicly announced before the first season release; however, his only appearance is in "Romance Dawn" as the man in the green cloak witnessing Gold Roger's execution, and he is not listed in the episode's credits.
148	* UnderageCasting:
149	** The 76-year-old Garp is played by the then-56-year-old Vincent Regan. He even tells Koby he's been a Marine for 50 years.
150	** Michael Dorman was 41 when he filmed his scenes as Gold Roger, who was 53 at the time of his death.
151	** Grant Ross was 36 when he filmed his scenes as the 46-year-old Genzo.
152	* VoicedDifferentlyInTheDub: A curious example happens in the Japanese dub: Due to both the change of format from animation to live-action, and the fact the live-action series is adapting the earlier parts of the manga, the returning voice actors [[VocalEvolution had somewhat deeper tones compared when they began voicing those characters two decades ago]], on top of being also chattier, since they need to explain more things that aren't too evident in the live-action series, compared with the animated show. This is more evident with some characters like Luffy, since his voice actress, Creator/MayumiTanaka, had to dub him with a somewhat deeper voice than she normally voices him in the anime, as well with Nami, Zoro, and above all, Buggy, which uses Creator/ShigeruChiba's trademark voice for evil villains, rather than the one he uses for more comical characters.
153	* WhatCouldHaveBeen: See the [[WhatCouldHaveBeen/OnePiece franchise page]].
154	* WorkingTitle: According to [[https://www.instagram.com/p/CMdgjVJp3YL/ an Instagram post]] by Steve Maeda, the first season's codename was ''Project Roger''. It was switched to ''Project Panda'' shortly before filming began. For the second season, the production codename was "Project Renaissance".
155	* YouLookFamiliar: Nicole Fortuin plays Ririka in "Romance Dawn" and also appears as a fishwoman towards the end of the season.
