For those unaware, the Monsters anime is a canon side-story that follows the events from 400 years when history was made in Wano. One Piece fans will finally find out the legend behind Ryuma slaying a dragon.
Based on Oda’s one-shot, the Monsters anime will adapt Shimotsuki Ryuma’s backstory and his legend. He is Roronoa Zoro’s ancestor, who is believed to have slayed a dragon. In SBS Volume 247, Eiichiro Oda says: “Despite being a zombie, the character appearing in Chapter 450 is indeed Ryuma.
“The samurai protagonist of the MONSTERS short story. In the world of One Piece, however, he is a legendary warrior who has already passed away due to illness and etched his name in history.”
Netflix ‘s official synopsis reads: “A samurai’s path leads him to a waitress whose hometown was destroyed by a dragon. He doesn’t want any trouble–but it finds them anyway.”
