Netflix has once again captured the attention of One Piece fans worldwide — this time by revealing the first look at two beloved characters: Dorry and Brogy, the legendary giant warriors of Elbaf. The newly released teaser images showcase the imposing yet noble duo in stunning detail, with designs that blend faithful adaptation and cinematic realism. Fans immediately took to social media to celebrate the reveal, praising the production team for staying true to Eiichiro Oda’s vision while giving the giants a presence that feels larger than life — both literally and emotionally.
Faithful Designs That Capture the Spirit of Elbaf
In the original manga and anime, Dorry and Brogy were introduced as honorable warriors locked in a century-long duel on Little Garden, embodying the pride and strength of the Elbaf Giants. The live-action reinterpretation seems to carry that same spirit — with intricate armor, tribal markings, and weathered expressions that convey both wisdom and battle-worn resilience. Many fans have noted how the show’s use of scale and costume design pays homage to the source material while pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in live-action fantasy.
The God Valley Arc Has Taken Over the Fandom
At the same time, Eiichiro Oda’s manga continues to dominate fan discussions with the God Valley Arc — one of the most compelling storylines in One Piece history. The flashback has brought together legendary figures like Rocks D. Xebec, Gol D. Roger, and Monkey D. Garp, weaving a tale of power, betrayal, and the birth of the modern pirate era. The arc has captivated readers not just for its action, but for its deep exploration of the “true history” of the world, revealing long-hidden connections that fans have theorized about for years.
Fans Don’t Want to Return to the Straw Hats Yet
Interestingly, many readers have expressed that they aren’t ready to return to Luffy and the Straw Hat crew just yet. The God Valley flashback has been described as a “once-in-a-generation” storytelling moment, and the shift to historical storytelling has become one of the most exciting parts of the series. As one fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter): “We’re watching legends being born — this is One Piece at its peak.” It’s rare for a prequel arc to capture so much emotion and intensity, but Oda’s balance of mythic scope and human drama continues to keep fans enthralled.
A Testament to Oda’s Legacy and Netflix’s Growing Ambition
Both the manga’s ongoing arc and Netflix’s live-action reveal highlight a shared truth — One Piece is in a golden age of adaptation and storytelling. While Oda continues to deepen the lore of his world, the live-action team is proving that the story can thrive across mediums without losing its heart. The reveal of Dorry and Brogy marks the start of an exciting new chapter for the live-action series, one that promises to bring Elbaf’s grandeur to life.
Whether fans are immersed in the chaos of God Valley or eagerly awaiting the return of the Straw Hats on screen, one thing is certain — One Piece’s world has never felt more alive.
