Why Zoro’s fighting style was difficult to adapt in One Piece Live-Action

The infamous pirate hunter Roronoa Zoro was brought to life in Netflix's One Piece live-action series.

While the show got much praise, the team had some trouble adapting Zoro's three-sword fighting style behind the scenes.

In the manga and anime, Zoro is recognised for holding the hilt of the white sword between his teeth. While the other two were chopping and dicing.

The anime and manga images are amazing, but how did the One Piece team adapt them for live-action?

The showrunner of One Piece explained how he and his crew came up with a compromise for Zoro's fighting technique. It's not always easy to fill in the gaps from the original manga drawing scenes.

Live-action adaptations do not always go as planned, But One Piece has become one of the rare ones that has surpassed all expectations.

Marc Jobst, the director of One Piece, realised that the actors needed to be physically capable of performing stunts. The manga for Zoro displays pieces of fight scenes with no clue of what happened in between.
