Tanaka Mayumi-san (Luffy& #39;s VA) was curious about Luffy& #39;s mother and wanted to know about her.
But Odacchi told her that
"A young man& #39;s adventure begins after he leaves his mother& #39;s arms. I want to tell the story of this young boy& #39;s adventure, so mothers don& #39;t plat a part of it."

Tanaka-san is grateful to Luffy & ONE PIECE for teaching her that
" You can still be a leader even if you can& #39;t do everything by yourself and need support from others. "
" You can still be a leader even if you can& #39;t do everything by yourself and need support from others. "
Tanaka-san didn& #39;t know about ONE PIECE before she was selected for the role.
When she found out about the manga, she was surprised & thought "This is a really big deal."
Her son who used to read ONE PIECE was the one who told her that "It was a really major role."

Tanaka-san says that Wano Kuni hen has been a lot of fun, especially when sometimes it feels like the story is moving towards the end.
Tanaka-san& #39;s most favourite ONE PIECE Opening theme song is "We Are!" by Kitadani Hiroshi.
Although she says there are a lot of great songs like "Hikari E" and others.

Tanaka-san& #39;s most favourite catchphrase of Luffy is "Shut Up! Let& #39;s go!" when he tells Chopper to shut up and join his crew.
She says there are many great lines from different arcs like
Hiruluk& #39;s - "I had such a good life"
Garp to Ace - "That& #39;s something you& #39;ll see as you live."

There are many of Luffy& #39;s dialogues that are her favourite.
Luffy to Arlong -"I can& #39;t navigate, I can& #39;t do anything, I can& #39;t even lie."
Luffy and Jinbei& #39;s interaction after Ace& #39;s death.
Jinbei - "Don& #39;t just think about the ones you have lost.!"
Luffy - "I still have friends."

If possible, Tanaka-san would like to eat the "Gomu-Gomu no mi" fruit.
She says she would probably use its ability for lazy things like to pick stuff up without getting up!

Other than "Gomu-Gomu no mi", she says she would like to have the fruit which is like the & #39;Anywhere Door& #39; from Doraemon which could open to anywhere.
Although, I don& #39;t think there& #39;s any Devil Fruit like that.

Strong World movie had a really good impression on Tanaka-san.
She says one of funniest movie moments is from Movie 2: & #39;Adventures on Clockwork Island& #39; where Genda-san(Villain) wants to marry Nami but She refuses saying she hates hairy guys. To which Genda replies, he can shave.

Tanaka-san said Luffy started his journey at 17 & and is now 19, she wanted to know how old will he be when the story ends.
She tried asking about it but got in trouble. It& #39;s still a secret so even she is just taking the story as it comes just like the rest of us.

Next up is Hirata Hiroaki (Sanji& #39;s VA)
When asked what was his inspiration for Sanji& #39;s voice.
He couldn& #39;t give a straight answer said it was based on Sanji& #39;s character in the manga and how readers would like Sanji to be.

LOL. Looks like none of them thought that ONE PIECE would last this long.
Hirata-san says after the anime was 2 years old, they met Odachi in an event and Odachhi told them if he takes the manga seriously, it& #39;ll take over 20 years but he& #39;s not gonna do it.
Now it& #39;s been 23 years.

Now it& #39;s been 23 years.
Once Oda told them that a crew member was leaving next year(referring to Going Merry). But it took 2 years for that to happen so going by that term, Hirata-san says he wouldn& #39;t be surprised if it takes 40 years before it& #39;s over.
He says just become the Pirate King already.

When Sanji& #39;s backstory was revealed, Hirata-san was surprised since it came as a surprise for him as well.
He then wondered that& #39;s why they hadn& #39;t heard of Sanji& #39;s last name all this time.
He was also impressed by Odacchi for Sanji& #39;s backstory and thought it was really well done.

He was also impressed by Odacchi for Sanji& #39;s backstory and thought it was really well done.
Hirata-san says, Nozawa Masako (Kureha/Goku& #39;s VA) is a legend and she did a fantastic job as Kureha but he didn& #39;t get to interact more with her since she(Kureha) just kicks his(Sanji& #39;s) butt whenever she sees him. & also because Chopper and Luffy had more interaction with Kureha.
Hirata-san liked Dr.Kureha& #39;s character. He thinks she was the backbone of the Drum Kingdom arc and her gags like & #39;The Secret to my Youthfulness& #39; made the audience grow attached to her character.
She was also a motherly figure to Chopper & was voiced none other than Masako-san.

Hirata-san says since he reads the manga, he knows there are some scenes in the manga that are really impactful. But as a voice actor, it& #39;s up to them to bring the same impact in the anime and when he sees that fans share the same feelings as him, he is very happy about that.
He says, Sanji was the spotlight in the Whole Cake Island arc but once it was over, it& #39;s just goofy Sanji again but he is satisfied with Sangoro & Soba Mask.
He asks fans to make an eyecatcher for Sanji.
Sanji was so cool in the WCI that Odacchi told Hirata-san that we& #39;d never see him like that ever again.
O- That& #39;s it for you, Hirata-san
H- You don& #39;t have to tell me.
O- There& #39;s no more okay
H- You don& #39;t need to repeat it again & again.
O- Sanji will never be that cool, again.

O- Sanji will never be that cool, again.
Hirata-san& #39;s most favourite ONE PIECE opening song is also "We Are!"
Part of it is because it was the first song and gained a lot of attraction.
And even in between the story, the song is used which gives the scene more emotional touch and makes us feel nostalgic.

Hirata-san most favourite line from Sanji& #39;s character.
"Listen, Usopp... if it& #39;s for Nami-san& #39;s sake, I don& #39;t care if you die!"
He says, it& #39;s been over 20 years but that& #39;s the line he puts the most effort into sounding cool.

Hirata-san says he didn& #39;t want to eat any Devil Fruit since he won& #39;t be able to swim but then said, he already doesn& #39;t swim anyway so he would like to eat the same fruit Sanji would want to eat the most.
Sanji wanted to eat the Suke-Suke no mi.
Sanji wanted to eat the Suke-Suke no mi.
Hirata-san& #39;s favourite moment from "Episode of Chopper" besides the last part where Kureha calls Chopper, "Baka Musuko"(Stupid Son) is when Chopper waves the Skull Flag and asks Dr. Kureha to teach him medicine.
Hirata-san says that moment alone sums up Chopper& #39;s entire story.

Finally, Hirata-san asks fans to enjoy the Wano Kuni hen as it& #39;s a very Japanese world.
He also asks fans to pay attention to Sanji and not Zoro.

I am tired so I& #39;ll tweet the remaining later.
Next up is Otani Ikue (Chopper& #39;s VA) and Nakai Kazuya (Zoro& #39;s VA)
Next up is Otani Ikue (Chopper& #39;s VA) and Nakai Kazuya (Zoro& #39;s VA)
Alright, let& #39;s resume.
Otani-san& #39;s inspiration for Chopper& #39;s Voice.
She says Chopper was even turned away by his own mother, he was isolated from everyone. Throughout the story, it was shown how he was carrying that loneliness with him & how badly he wanted friends.

Otani-san says the same thing as others that none of them thought that it would be so long.
But she would anticipate that more and more strong opponents were coming but they made sure not to get ahead of themselves while voice acting.
But she would anticipate that more and more strong opponents were coming but they made sure not to get ahead of themselves while voice acting.
Otani-san said, Chopper has a very dark past which tends to twist people up but despite that, he& #39;s still very forthright. And his relationships with Hiruluk & Dr Kureha, his dreams about the adventures of the future, define what kind of person he is, & that helped her voice him.
She also says that it& #39;s not just Chopper, there are many characters in the story that has a beautiful background and setup.
There& #39;s not just one protagonist in the story, and that& #39;s why a lot of people like many different characters so much.

Otani-san& #39;s experience with working with Masako-san in the Episode of Chopper.
She says, it was her first time working as a duo (Chopper & Kureha) in a long-running series,so she was excited but on top of that she was working with the person she grew up listening to in many anime

Chopper & Kureha& #39;s had a teacher-student relationship, as well as a family, so adding the right kind of emotions to the dialogues were a challenge for both of them.
Masako-san also told Otani-san how rare it was for her to voice such an old chara as she usually voices young boys.
Masako-san also told Otani-san how rare it was for her to voice such an old chara as she usually voices young boys.
During their interplay, if there was something that needed work, one of them would help pull it back in the line, without pointing it out. There was a real verbal back and forth between them and she enjoyed it a lot. It really left a strong impression of Masako-san on her.
Her favourite scene from the Episode of Chopper is when Kureha chases Chopper, throwing weapons at him, refusing to allow him to go out to the sea.
That shows how much she cares for him as a teacher and as a mother..

She also liked the interaction between Kureha and Hiruluk when Chopper fed him the poison mushroom, Kureha gets angry and beats him up even though he is already injured.
She shows her emotions through anger and violence.

Another scene is when Kureha helps Chopper understand that being a doctor is more than just acting nice. It gets to her so much that she almost cried out.
Overall, she loved the relationship between Kureha and Chopper.

Just thinking about the scene where Chopper waves the skull flag, saying "Teach me how to be a Doctor" made Otani-san cry during the interview.
She says, the doctor dies but since Chopper has made a promise with him, he wants to work hard toward fulfilling his promise.
She says, the doctor dies but since Chopper has made a promise with him, he wants to work hard toward fulfilling his promise.
That scene showed Chopper& #39;s true resolute. Despite losing his father figure, he maintained a strong will.
She likes that part a lot even though it& #39;s very sad. She also said, that scene was made to make the audience cry, even the people working on it cried, including the director.

She says being a fan herself, she loves the series so just being involved in its creation is very satisfying and she deeply feels very happy about it. But more than that ONE PIECE has helped her meet a lot of new people and that motivates her to do her best.
She likes that there are many new things happening in the Wano Kuni hen, and many new and interesting characters are showing up.
Also, Chopper being teamed up with Big Mom while being terrified of her is a lot of fun to watch. So she is having a lot of fun in the Wano Kuni hen.

Otani-san says she likes most of the opening songs since all of them are good and reflects the story but her most favourite one would still be "We Are!"
Her second most favourite is "Fight Together" by Amuro Namie followed by "We Go!"
Her second most favourite is "Fight Together" by Amuro Namie followed by "We Go!"
Her most favourite line from Chopper which really left a mark on her was when Chopper realized Dr.Hogback was not the kind of Doctor he admired and the inhumane way he treated Cindry was unacceptable.
He yelled, "You& #39;re not even rating here as a human being!"
He yelled, "You& #39;re not even rating here as a human being!"
He had fought before as well but that was the first time, Chopper was personally determined to fight someone because of his pride as a doctor. And because someone like Hogback who plays with people& #39;s lives doesn& #39;t deserve to be a doctor.
If possible, she would like to have a Devil Fruit which lets her travel to and fro in time... like a time machine.
Toki& #39;s DF lets her travel only in the future but Otani-san wants to travel both in the past and the future as she pleases.
Toki& #39;s DF lets her travel only in the future but Otani-san wants to travel both in the past and the future as she pleases.
She says, she really likes how non-japanese fans understands and relates to the Character& #39;s backstories, even though we speak different languages, we fans understand the story in the same way and if in future we meet, we can talk about the characters and the story and enjoy it.
ONE PIECE is still going strong and as another fan, I& #39;ll keep watching it. I hope you all will join me and enjoy this wonderful story.
Nakai Kazuya(Zoro& #39;s VA) says the manga art is the basic foundation for Zoro& #39;s character. He said, at first he thought Zoro was going to be a bad guy with all the ominous vibes and his bad reputation.
Another thing that helped form Zoro& #39;s character is that Kazuya-san while growing up watched all the time in the anime that the protagonist always has this cool, strong friend at his side, his number 2. So all those characters played a part in forming Kazuya-san& #39;s image of Zoro.
Kazuya-san also never thought the series would last over 20 years. He knew the title was big so thought, it would last 3-5 years & at that time he thought that was great.
He said, he was lucky to be selected for this role and never thought he would be voice acting for this long.
He said, he was lucky to be selected for this role and never thought he would be voice acting for this long.
He says, compared to others, Zoro& #39;s past was not detailed or lengthy & it is just about his promise with Kuina.
He says that& #39;s what defines Zoro, he is a simple straightforward guy who always keeps his promises & never lies to anyone or himself
He wants Zoro to be like that alwyz

Kazuya-san says, shortly after starting work for ONE PIECE he got to work with Masako-san in some show.
He thought, such a big celebrity won& #39;t remember someone like him but when they met for the second time, she remembered him & he felt that impressive people are all really kind.

She really had a big impression on him and he says, working together with her on ONE PIECE made him really happy.
He says, her personality hasn& #39;t changed and she is still a very kind and sweet person.
Seems like, every one of them deeply respects & admires Nozawa Masako-san.
