One Piece (Live-Action)
Summary
Even though the first season ofOne Pieceis proving to be one of the most successful alive - action gum anime adaptation in recent memory , it still needs to get a few thing right about the beloved Straw Hat Pirate , Nico Robin . Known for her intelligence , especial scrap art , and play dynamic with her fellow Straw Hat Pirates , Robin ’s absence fromOne Piece ’s first seasonleft much to be want from the pop live - action at law version . Considering the crucial theatrical role that Robin run in bestow the Straw Hat pirate ship nigher together , as well as fending off menace , Netflix will have a pretty big undertaking on their hands regarding her in her live - action at law unveiling .
In addition to thelocationsOne Pieceseason 2 will need to admit , Robin ’s portraiture will be tough since she come in with an extensive backdrop that ’s unique to her fellow Straw Hat Pirates . As such , it begs the question as to howOne Piecewill convincingly limn Robin ’s past while also pretend her a formidable accession to the Straw Hat Pirates without things feeling rushed . Furthermore , Netflix failed Usopp and Sanji ’s live - activeness depictionssince they point up in the series far too late , and were n’t given an adequate amount of care as Luffy , Zoro , and Nami . Nevertheless , there ’s enough time forOne Pieceto ensure Robin ’s portrait is a success .
A central element to One Piece achiever is its expectant casting of major and minor molding . Nico Robin ’s accurate casting can continue the trend in season 2 .
10Robin’s Skin Tone Needs To Be Addressed
This detail would display great attention-to-detail from One Piece’s production staff
When Robin is inclose inOne Piece , she ’s draw as a darker - skin woman with perfectly symmetrical bangs that hang just above her eyes . However , afterOne Piece ’s timeskip , Robin is noticeably fairer - skinned with her pilus slicked back , virtually making her look like a completely dissimilar woman . While neither theOne Pieceanime nor the manga ever addresses the change officially , the likely reasoning behind Robin ’s different appearance is due to series Jehovah Eiichiro Oda ’s shifting in style . One Pieceis in a unequaled position as they can formally address this by take a crap it a part of her backstory , or even charter two different actresses after a set identification number of episodes .
9Netflix Needs To Get Robin’s Age Right
Failure to properly handle Robin’s age can ruin the Straw Hat Pirates' dynamic
Perhaps one of the expectant challenges that Netflix confront is by rights handlingRobin ’s age in the live - actionOne Piece . In theOne Piecemanga and Zanzibar copal , Robin is twenty - eight by the clock time of her creation and thirty after the timeskip , thus place her well over the median eld of her fellow crew . To put things into position , the second - quondam members of the crew by the time Robin link are Roronoa Zoro and Sanji , at twenty - one each . On the surface , Robin ’s geezerhood disparity does n’t seem too importantuntil one considers how a importantly sure-enough actress execute the endangerment of negatively impacting the active betweenOne Piece ’s mostly young mould .
what is more , Nami actress Emily Rudd was already thirty by the timeOne Piecedebuted in 2023 , and her ability to convincingly portray the seventeen - year - old Nami while meshing well with her importantly younger co - stars is proof that an older onscreen Robin can knead . However , the openhanded divergence between Nami and Robin lie in their temperaments and worldview . In the source fabric , Nami is selfish and more like an older babe who eventually learns how to get along with her crew . Robin , on the other hand , play more of a maternal role aboard the run Merry and Thousand Sunny , socasting a younger actress might not be the proper move either .

Another noteworthy aspect isRobin ’s starting bountifulness at 79,000,000 berries by the time she ’s introduced to the serial . While most other graphic symbol accrue large bounty for particularly flagitious criminal offence , Robin ’s absurd bounty stems from false accusations that she sunk six Buster Call battleships in her juvenility .

Whether friend or foe , Oda ensure that each of his character reference have layers to them that justify , or even in sure case , controvert their very nature . In the case of Robin , her childhood is substantial because it indicate audiences how she gained her Devil Fruit abilities , and how said powers led to Robin ab initio start down a dubious itinerary . what is more , Robin ’s yesteryear present that her sentence with the scholars of Ohara profoundly effected her , thus leading to her becoming an archaeologist .

As Robin grows potent , she can even manipulate this ability to twist her multiple arms into wing , thus granting her the ability to fly . GivenOne Piece ’s first season succeeder and the credible effects behind the Devil Fruit already seen , it ’s likely the studio apartment will drop the necessary amount of money to make Robin ’s power count convincing .
Netflix ’s live - action One Piece sets the level for Luffy ’s journey in season 1 , but season 2 will feature even more exciting anime scenes .
