I’m glad they found a way to include him since this story is Zoro-adjacent.

That kind of reminds me that in the Neutral Spanish dub of Monsters, Ryuma is voiced by the same actor who voiced him in One Piece, who also voices Brook as well, just how the same thing happens in Japanese with Chō

I know that I am usually "Everything that ever existed must get a modern remake." person around here, but...

In this case, how do I say it, there is just something beautiful about such old manga, where Oda haven't even developed his drawing style yet, getting adaptation after so many years.

Also, Kazuya Nakai as Dragon...
I think they knew what they were doing.

I too found it interesting to see how characters and styles are developed. Ryuma is definitely a mixture of Zoro and Luffy, where Flare is a early version of Nami and Cyrano eventually became Mihawk.

They did the same to bring Sabat for the English dub. I was happy to see it!
