When you take a character that has already been developed within the show and has set rules, so to speak, regarding their personality, it's stupid and unprofessional to just change those aspects in order to conveniently fit the plot.
#ONE PIECE NEBULANDIA MP4 ZIPPYSHARE MOVIE#
One of the reasons I hated the 5th movie of One Piece (Norowareta Seiken) was because of how ridiculously and insultingly out of character Zoro was. This film did a piss-poor job of keeping the characters within their roles. They have their usual roles in the story. Same One Piece music you've heard a hundred times before. One Piece Adventure of Nebulandia gave zero effort to be creative or interesting in comparison to the source material. That's the sort of variation I am talking about. Even something like One Piece Mugiwara Chase, which was only 30 minutes, was unique because the entire thing was done as a 3D film.

For example, Strong World – one of if not the most popular One Piece film – had unique art because of how spectacularly detailed it was. One of the best parts of One Piece OVA's, Specials, and Films is that we usually get to see some difference in art that we wouldn't see within the show. And everything about this screams filler even though it /wasn't in the show/. If this special had been cut up into 25 minute segments, it would have easily made a 4 episode filler. It would have been nice to see some variation in art style though. Didn't seem to have a big budget like Strong World, but since it's not actually a theater released film (thank god) I can't expect too high of quality. It's about Luffy and Foxy teaming up to save some people and end up on an island that is essentially one big slab of anti-devil-fruit-user-material. It was also not about an island that nullifies Devil Fruit Powers. This story was /not/ about Luffy and Foxy having a rematch. But even without these inconsistencies, the story is still extremely weak. If they are affected by the seawater plant and the seawater fog to the extent that they are suffering because of them, then standing in a big pond of seawater should make them weak too. However, in this same film where those sorts of events happen, we see Luffy multiple times standing knee-deep in seawater and showing no reaction to it at all. The fog that comes over the island is “seawater fog” which makes our devil fruit users weak as well and we see them struggling just to stay standing (as a side note: seawater fog? Really?). There is a particular plant within the movie that grows via seawater, and when touched by the plant, devil fruit users are shown to become weak.

The people in charge of this movie evidently don't understand this because there are several occurrences that just do not add up. This concept has been shown multiple times within the original One Piece story. As we know, somebody who has a devil fruit ability can no longer swim, but more than that they become weak when in contact with seawater. Much of this “story” revolves around the use of devil fruit abilities and highlighting the fact that seawater is their kryptonite. My biggest problem with the story was the lack of understanding regarding Devil Fruit powers.

Oh, you might think that Nami or Chopper got kidnapped but no, instead, two of our strongest characters – Zoro and Sanji – spend the majority of this movie waiting around helplessly in a cage for their knight in shining armor to come rescue them because they ate some miraculously unheard of mushroom that conveniently turns them into wimps. This hour and 45 minutes of feces is actually about Luffy and Foxy teaming up in order to defeat a bigger badder guy so that they can save their friends. You can throw in the word “spoiler” here because technically I'm revealing details about the special that are not specified in the synopsis or the trailer, but really these are things that should have been specified anyway. Never has a synopsis been so misleading because this was the complete opposite of a battle between Straw Hat Pirates and the Foxy Pirates. involved due to the fact that the island they are grounded on nullifies their powers. I went into this film-length special with the understanding that it was going to be a rematch between Luffy and Foxy, the twist being that this time there would be no devil fruit powers Despite that, I was willing to give this special a chance because the synopsis caught my attention. And strap in because I have a lot to say about this poor excuse of a Special.įoxy is one of those “villains” in One Piece that I wish I could forget ever existed. I could probably just end my review right there but allow me elaborate.
