Netflix has revealed the title for the first episode of its live-action One Piece series, and longtime fans of the anime and manga will likely recognize it.
That’s because the episode title, Romance Dawn, seems to be hinting at the origin of One Piece.
“No matter how hard or how impossible it is, never lose sight of your goal,” the official One Piece Netflix Twitter account shared with an image of a script.

Originally released in July 1997, One Piece follows the wild tale of of Monkey D. Luffy, an ambitious boy whose body is turned to a rubbery substance after he eats a Devil Fruit. All the while, he and his pals are yearning to find the world’s most ultimate treasure, known as the “One Piece.” If they find the One Piece treasure? Well, Luffy becomes the King of the Pirates, then. That’s the dream!
Now, it’s unclear if the first episode of Netflix’s One Piece series will be a retelling of the Romance Dawn arc or if the episode title is simply an homage to the series’ start.
