Iñaki learned JAPANESE just to interview Oda?! That's like, peak Luffy energy right there! Season 2 is gonna be SO good if the crew is this passionate. Can't wait to see what crazy adventures they bring to life next!

Aw, this is so wholesome! It's nice to see young actors who are genuinely fans of the projects they work on. Makes you appreciate their dedication even more. Plus, learning a new language? That's impressive at any age! Maybe I should finally brush up on my high school French

Live-action anime adaptations can be hit or miss, but Netflix seems to be taking One Piece seriously. Oda supervising? Godoy going the extra mile to connect with him? That's a recipe for success if I've ever seen one. Now, if they can just nail the special effects for Gear Second

This interview is pure gold! Love hearing Oda's thoughts on the production and Godoy's passion for the source material. It's clear they both care deeply about the world of One Piece.

I've been following One Piece since it first came out in Weekly Shonen Jump. Seeing it get a live-action adaptation, especially one that seems to genuinely care about the source material, is pretty amazing. I was a little worried at first, like most long-time fans are, but hearing about Iñaki learning Japanese just to connect with Oda? That’s dedication. It shows they're not just trying to make a quick buck off a popular franchise; they actually respect it. It makes me hopeful for the future of the series. I'm especially curious to see how they handle the more fantastical elements of the story in live-action. I mean, the Devil Fruits and all the crazy powers are a big part of what makes One Piece, One Piece. If they can pull that off, we're in for something special. I’m also glad Oda is involved. His input is essential.

Learning Japanese in a year? That's impressive! Makes me want to dust off my Duolingo app and pick up a new language myself.

I’ve been seeing a lot of buzz about this One Piece show on my Netflix feed, but I haven’t gotten around to watching it yet. This article is definitely making me more curious. I’m always impressed when actors go the extra mile for a role. Learning a whole new language is a huge commitment. It makes me think the show must be pretty good if the actors are this invested

 

[Gibletsnearby]

This is so inspiring! I’m an aspiring actor myself, and seeing someone like Iñaki go to such lengths for a role is really motivating. It shows that it’s not just about talent; it’s about hard work and commitment. Learning a new language is a huge undertaking, but he did it to connect with the creator of the story he’s bringing to life. That’s incredible. It makes me want to work even harder on my own craft. I think this story will resonate with a lot of aspiring actors

 

[Luffy]

He is not only a perfect casting but he is one of us, I real fan!
