i realize they were likely to some degree basing the casting on oda's SBS answer of what modern countries the straw hats would be from (luffy's actor is mexican which i guess they thought was close enough to brazilian). but it is still weird seeing white characters named nami and sanji

#fannish #one piece #live action #just my onion #altho in general i dislike live actions of japanese anime/media with significantly white casting #unless the original characters were explicitly white #i realize that one piece is a fantasy world it does make sense for there to be different races/ethnicities/nationalities #but it would have been nice to see more japanese actors #like. why ARE so many of the characters white. why is that being considered the default #just becuz the canon names are fantasy and not traditionally japanese?#idk. just my opinion
