Before 2023, live-action anime adaptations like Cowboy Bebop and Death Note faced criticism. However, One Piece received acclaim for improving upon its source material, showcasing beloved characters in new light. Sanji (Taz Skylar) evolved into a suave, fierce fighter, gaining more screen time and impactful battles, while Wapol (Rob Colletti) presented an intriguing villain despite mixed reception. Other notable characters like Mr. 3 (David Dastmalchian) and Nico Robin (Lera Abova) also impressed viewers with their unique powers and clever tactics. The season culminated with Dragon (Rigo Sanchez) debuting as a formidable presence, raising anticipation for future developments.
