Ever since the premiere of theOne Piece Live Action, the actors portraying the Straw Hats have become household names. While all the actors did a brilliant job in their respective roles, Emily Rudd’s popularity has taken a great stride. Fans love her for her brilliance as Nami. She fully committed to the role as if it was tailor-made for her.
Instead of simply replicating the anime or manga version of the character, she brought her own flavor to it. From her first proper television movieSea Change, to the live-action adaptation ofOne Piece, Rudd has come a long way. However,Sea Changedeserves a discussion of its own for a multitude of reasons.
Emily Rudd Was Great inSea Changebut…
One Piece Live Actionpremiered in 2023, and fans still can’t stop themselves from gushing over it, especially the actors.Emily Ruddstarted her acting career long before the live-action and her first major role was in the movieSea Change (2017). Based on a book by Aimee Friedman, the movie has sea walkers and their paths entwined with the main character Miranda, played by Rudd.
There are many mysteries in the story that never get resolved. However, the beginning is quite interesting and so are the characters. Some people even believe that the movie is too similar toTwilight. But, the incomplete ending ruins the experience. Notably, the movie also changed some plotlines from the book.Sea Changehas underwhelming reviews andratings acrossdifferent platforms, but the fault primarily lies in its narrative.
Emily Rudd’s Secret Name From One Piece Live Action Set Revealed and It’s Vastly Different From Nami
It leaves many things unanswered but most people loved Rudd’s performance as Miranda. She was fully committed to the troubled-but-curious archetype commonly seen in rom-coms. Her role as a teenage girl who was struggling in a different but familiar environment appealed to fans.
So, it seems like even a disaster likeSea Changecouldn’t stop Rudd from shining in her role. From that to the massive success ofOne Piece Live Action, Rudd has come a long way. Coincidentally, the movie came out in the same year when the live-action was first announced.
No One Suits Nami Better than Emily Rudd inOne Piece Live Action
From the promotions to the final episode, the live-action kept fans hooked on its journey. It wouldn’t have been possible without the dedication of the actors. While all the actors were over the moon with the opportunity to bringEiichiro Oda‘s exceptional storytelling to life, Rudd was always a huge fan. It wasn’t just her admiration for the series but her understanding of the character.

She embodied Nami perfectly and made her slightly more serious to fit the tone of the series. Beyond the screen, she is always the first one to express her excitement over all thingsOne Piece-related. When we look at the journey of the actor and her performances, it seems like there can not be a better Nami. And, it’s even better to know that we’ll get to see her return to the role soon in the upcoming season of the live-action.
One Piece Live Actionis available to stream on Netflix.
