The One Piece Lego sets have officially launched! This is something great for fans around the world, but probably no one is geeking out more than One Piece creator Eiichiro Oda. Netflix, home of the successful live-action One Piece adaptation, offered a video of Oda getting to see the finished sets for the first time.
One by one he’s presented with the Windmill Village Hut set, the Buggy the Clown’s Circus Tent set, the Battle at Arlong Park set, The Going Merry Pirate Ship set, and The Baratie Floating Restaurant set.
“Wow, this is too much fun,” Oda begins. Moments later he exclaims, “Kawaii!”
And it turns out he’s a longtime Lego fan. “I truly love Lego sets, always have,” he remarks. “Yes, I’ve bought a lot for my retirement, still in their boxes.”
He admires the wanted posters, and multiple times he says “Sugoi!” which could be translated as “amazing!” or “awesome!”
“The craftsmanship is incredible,” Oda exclaims. “This is so accurate.”
Oda describes the scenes as “perfectly recreated.”
“I could play with this forever,” he gushes. “This is the best. The kid in me is so excited about this. My dream has been fulfilled, truly. I want to display it in my room.”
Oda Sees ONE PIECE LEGO for the First Time
VIZ Media publishes the One Piece manga, and gave this description for the first volume:
One Piece Plot
As a child, Monkey D. Luffy was inspired to become a pirate by listening to the tales of the buccaneer “Red-Haired” Shanks. But his life changed when Luffy accidentally ate the Gum-Gum Devil Fruit and gained the power to stretch like rubber…at the cost of never being able to swim again! Years later, still vowing to become the king of the pirates, Luffy sets out on his adventure…one guy alone in a rowboat, in search of the legendary “One Piece,” said to be the greatest treasure in the world…
