“When do you think a man dies?" Dr. Hiriluk's speech from One Piece Live Action Season 2

I'm still on the lookout for a dentist named Crentist.

Goda foreskinned again, unbelievable

There’s also Chopper the talking reindeer played by Mikaela Hoover, & reindeer have hooves. The casting department is just messing with us at this point.

When I was trying to look up who played him, I thought Google just kept making incorrect autocorrect assumptions.

Favorite casting for name alone

Lol I had the same reaction when I realized by the voice that Dr.Kureha was Leela from Futurama

He also played Dr. Gabelhauser in The Big Bang Theory

Holy shit it is. I’m glad he still gets to chew up the scene sometimes.

Another game for MILOS!!!!

Look at the big baby!

He had a memorable role in Star Trek voyager. https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Kashyk

I always think of him as the pathetic high school teacher who [ruins his life for Tracy Flick in Election](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-lJZmKZjqQ)

Whoa whoa whoa wait. Why you calling Buggy a "non-main" character? He's clearly the secret protagonist and strongest pirate on the sea!

I was holding my breath for who they would cast as Bon Clay for season 3, and then they went with Cole Escola who is probably the most qualified possible casting in the world.

Miss Goldenweek, and yes, the casting on her was amazing, too. That actress originated Lydia Deetz in the Broadway Beetlejuice and pulls off creepy doll like nobody's business.

And more importantly, pretty much no stunt casting. It would be easy to hire famous actors to play "big" characters like Shanks or Mihawk, but instead the casting has been very inspired and really lets the actors bring their characters to life. Even bigger names like Katey Sagal or David Dastmalchian disappear into their characters completely. It is an incredible feat.

Apparently its the creator himself. He picked most of the main characters thus far. The only one that was offered the part outright was Zoro. I honestly don't think this show would have worked without Mackenyu. Getting someone that actually knows how to do the shit the character is supposed to do is special. Its what a lot of people have wanted with Batman for goddamn years now. Hes so good with a sword during the first season the stunt coordinator told him to slow down because the stunt guys couldn't keep up and he was going to hurt someone accidently.

Mr. 9 was also amazing. It's a short role but the actor gave it everything he had. Between him and Hiriluk, they were my standouts of the season.

Same goes for Miss All Sunday. I did not think anyone could perfectly capture what makes her character special. Lera Abova did.

The Buggy casting is absolutely perfect. This episode from season 2 was also incredibly well done. I don't know the story, so I can't say I was prepared for what was going to happen... But the way they told the story between Chopper and the doc was so good.

This show is dumb as hell, but the casting, choreography and costume dept deserve awards. It literally is "live action anime".

Junie Lowry-Johnson and Libby Goldstein with Oda, the series creator, getting final say for the larger roles.

Dalton looks spot on

Jeff Ward is so amazing in everything he does. Agents of Shield, Hacks, One Piece, etc

and Wapol! Was absolutely stunned how great he was!

Even the Reindeer they got looked just like Tony T.

Of the main cast my favorites are Usopp and Luffy. Robin seems great too and Nami is good. Chopper is perfect. Sanji and Zoro both lack some of the insane aura they have in the original imo, but I imagine casting martial arts characters is a lot more challenging.

One Piece became a global phenomenon for a reason. It's understandably been memed to death for being overly long and entirely goofy, but when it's peak, it is PEAK. I hope they find a way to film the whole series.

Welcome to One Piece. One of the characters with the most emotional and tragic backstories in the series is named Señor Pink. He dresses up like a giant baby, with a bib, pacifier, rattle, diaper, and hat.

Just wait until it makes you cry over an 'inanimate' object down the line.

Drum Island is one of my favorite arcs from the series, just because of how well everything comes together. Kureha is a doctor with skill, but no care while Hiriluk cares, but has training to help. With Chopper taking the best from both with dreams to be a "cure all". Also fun fact Choppers hooves are shaped like cherry blossom petals in the manga. This was unintentional on the authors part, but he loved how it all came together.

Watch the anime. It will have you crying more than you thought a cartoon ever should.

Oda has a way with creating a wacky character and then dropping a devastating backstory afterwards. I’m still not over Senior Pink.

They handled his relationship with chopper so well. This speech is even not as impactful without that context. When he said “he is my son”, that’s when it got me.

Crying at One Piece is extremely normal so glad the LA is capturing that

If you don’t cry even a little at chopper crying for the doctor asking him what he did wrong then you have no soul

Never watched the anime. I was not ready for the Chopper related stuff. God damn that was powerful.

It’s a good comedy show if it can make you tear up a bit. 🎭

> I got a bit choked up that episode, I'll be honest. I was ugly crying during that and the Laboon episode

I got choked up with sanji left the floating restaurant. I didn't expect that.

Get some crying practice done friend. This is introductory sadness. I hope the Live Action lasts for the full series. I want to see how people deal with the full Sanji backstory, the laughing village in Wano and that Kuma backstory.

Almost done with it and it f****** sucks there's only one left.

GNU Terry Pratchett Thought of him with this speech too.

The Manga came out four years prior to that.

But I'm so glad he did. This speech lives rent free in my head.

I hope to dear God Netflix doesn't stop producing this series after season 3. I never read or watch any one piece so going in blind into this series is quite enjoyable.

Bringing almost Shakespearen delivery to it feels right

Have fun with the finale!

No. You're thinking of Robin Thomas

Then Chopper goes and gets the mushroom with the same visual…

It won't happen as long as Robert Zemeckis lives. Zemeckis is currently 74.

I was thinking about how if this was 25-30 years earlier Christopher Lloyd would kill this role

Good news there’s a thousand episodes!

My brain kept drifting to imagining Will Forte

Actually Milos from Seinfeld. The crappy tennis player

Mark Harelik, actually. He also played Dr. Gabelhauser in The Big Bang Theory.

No you don't. Just watch this version (that's partly what it is for) or wait for the anime Remake. This show condenses like 20 episodes into 1 (in a good way, it cuts out a lot of the bs) or the anime remake they claim will skip all filler and focus on the main arcs and developments you really need to see. That's not out yet but starts soon, 2027 maybe? I just see random reports and i'm not a fan like that, alabasta is where it lost me as a kid because I too didn't like 500+ characters and how goofy and fantastical it became. I liked how it started with more grounded pirate world with just one kid and his enemies having some goofy powers here and there. It just didn't keep me so I too jumped off and I'm not mad about not watching 1000+ episodes either. If you're interested enough though, watch this show or the new anime to get caught up. And / or read or watch synopsis or summary videos.

I mean, it's a very campy show based on a campy anime.

Show is campy for sure. Its not campy in a bad way, like its just genuinely goofy.

its about a rubberman who wants to be king of the pirates. it’s incredibly goofy

Its honestly surprising how hard everyone goes for the silliest scripts. Say what you will about the rest of it, but no one is phoning in their performances.
