Can someone tell me, is trans Kobe half featured in every episode?


I'm not interested in continuing to watch a half Straw Hat Pirates half trans-Kobe show.


I appreciate the actress's efforts in the beginning, but I'm not interested in a half/half series.

The actor is trans, is the character? Still only seen the first episode.


She's clearly not a guy. I had to look it up when they started calling her a "he" because I couldn't believe that was a dude. Was wondering if the character was just supposed to be extremely effeminate.

ETA: Other than her, the first two episodes were pretty great. Never watched the anime because the Luffy character always seemed ridiculous in commercials, but it's actually a pretty infectious character and his "crew members" are serious enough to counterbalance his ridiculousness.

I do. Gender swapping characters is lame and sexist.

No. I never watched.

Koby's evolution is definitely apart of the story.

Still watching. Liking it more than I thought I would.


The lead character Luffy? Doing a really good job. I'm a bit sketchy on the world building, but i guess that's just how the story goes. No idea what to expect, but it seems to be getting good reviews.

This is where I'm at. The fact that I'm watching it says a lot. Good for Netflix for finally striking a balance although Oda was on this project, right?

Like I said, its getting good publicity. Just set a record for the #1 viewed show on Netflix in 84 countries. That beats Stranger Things (S4) & Wednesday.


Comicbook dot com


Now we'll see if it has legs or levels off.

On about episode 18 of the anime and anime Luffy can be a real a-hole and not nearly as endearing as Netflix Luffy.

Wait …what? Which main actress was trans?

I need to know….I …I mean someone I know may or may not have jerked off to one of the main actresses. I…I mean he may need to know he may have the “gay” now.

No really, in all seriousness, I guess I never heard about that. Which actress was it?

He's trying to say Emma D'Arcy is trans but of course she's not because he doesn't know what trans is apparently as she's non-binary.

Owwww…well that’s good. I don’t think my friend would have any issues jerking or to a hot non binary chic.

Thanks for the info. I really could care less about anyones sexual preferences. Who you choose to screw is your business. But I do have issue with treating people with mental issues like they are normal. Trans people should be getting mental health help and treatment.

I never watched the anime but am enjoying the live action. Good to know they changed the plot some. That’s something about the cowboy bebop adaptation I didn’t like. If you aren’t going to change anything or tell a new story, what’s the point? You aren’t going to do it better than the original.

Found out last night the zoro actor is Sonny Chiba’s son. RIP Sonny

Episode 37 is where I was hooked. I wasn't that into it until then. Luffy is the GOAT MC and friend.

Wow. Ep 4 is super based.

Love it!


*ETA

Nami is giving me Claudia Donovan vibes from Warehouse 13. Curiously enough, the 2 actresses are only a couple of years apart in age.

One more episode to go, and I am glad I am taking my time with this season. As goofy as the world is, they really do make it feel authentic and not overly cartoonish. What an amazing balance.
