Netflix’s One Piece remake is currently in production but the recent updates confirm it will make a major change from the original, and fans couldn’t be happier.
The One Pieceis an upcoming anime remake of Eiichiro Oda’s popular manga followingMonkey D. Luffyand his journey throughout the Grand Line. He sets out to become King of the Pirates and gathers a crew who each have their own goals to accomplish in the treacherous sea.
One example is where the anime changed Zeff’s scene. In the manga, Zeff eats his leg to avoid dying from starvation but the anime shows he cut off his leg to save Sanji. However, fans comparing the concept art notice how it’s gorier than the original version.
