The reigning power of “ONE PIECE” seems to be unstoppable these days, as its latest volume sold more than 2 million copies in the first week.  ”Trenders” a research analyst group specializing in the interests of business women, held an online survey about “ONE PIECE” in October, which surveyed business women from 20 ~39 years old.

    Takeru would be pretty happy about that, he likes One Piece. But he’s already Kenshin <3

    I haven’t been up to date with One Piece in a long time though I’ve seen it here and there… but I like the choices. =D

    I can definitely see Oguri Shun as Zoro.

  • heesu

    i could see some of the characters resembling the manga :D
    though, i WOULD prefer it to stay manga… just so that in case the live action is bad, it doesn’t ruin the fantasy of others

  • arashi_oneday

    The choices are pretty good and I have to say that I agree with Shun as Zoro. The choices really do match the characters!

  • Hikari光

    That picture of Aya does look like Nami, but either ways, I wouldn’t want it in a live action~ but people can always fantasize~haha

  • Celebration

    That is one live action I hope never sees the light of day.

  • MinahMyu

    I think it’s funny that it doesn’t matter who the second choice of Zoro would be “Matsuda Shota/Matsuda Ryuhei” I’m not really into One Piece but I read some of the manga… and I can see them playing the characters. Kinda cool ^_^

  • babypanda1

    …LOL….no…don’t make this live action…

  • tonbi

    Oizumi Yo as Usopp would be extremely funny. and i can see Mukai Osamu as Sanji….have him bleach his hair hehe. Katori Shingo’s face actually kinda looks like Luffy. but i just can’t think of a guy that would fit Zoro’s character….

  • SOH_GReeeeN

    NOoooooooooooooooooo….. One Piece as live action doesn’t sound good. Please it this remain as Manga and Anime’…(^O^)

  • http://youtube.com/user/wvrtv Neika

    woo..a lot of good choices

  • http://deedarling.livejournal.com/ DeeDarling

    lol they fit sooo well, i’d love to see it as like a movie like pirates of the caribbean was. mannnnn. that’d be the day <3

  • atarashi26michi

    character i want as my boyfriend: ACE!!!!!!
    soooooo hott <3
    for husband, i agree, probably zoro~
    but i totally agree with all the actor choices~
    if they made a live-action, it better be japanese one
    if hollywood tries to make a live-action of one piece, i will probably murder someone

  • margalovesjpop

    lol! Oguri shun!! that would be cool! hehehe *drools*

  • sohxys97

    most of e characters does resemble the manga esp ussop!!!

  • beltofvenus

    I’d pick Sanji for boyfriend AND husband. He’s hilarious and a good cook!
    How about Franky? Chopper, Robin and Brook?

  • LeiDiAngelo

    awesome choices. these girls asked sure have a great taste.

  • rawrr_j

    LOLS they picked sanji only as a boyfriend and zoro as the husband ;) i think i understand why they made that choice! ;D

  • rawrr_j

    BTW i too understand why they don’t want to make it into a live action ;D

  • Namirin

    rofl, kinda funny…
    But somehow , it doesn’t sound good to me when they say ” One Piece live action ”
    *shrugs*

  • Little_SunHee

    awesome! xD
    I would pick
    As boyfriend: Ace~ or Luffy~
    As husband: Shanks! ♥

    The women want a playboy as their boyfriend! xD
    But he would be loving one :)

    ….I think Shingo is too old to play Luffy xD But he definitly has that character :)
    I love the choice of Aya as Nami and Mukai as Sanji! :D
