One Piece Is A Masterclass On TTRPG Adventuring Days

If you set aside a weekend or six to watch either the Dressrosa or Wano Arcs of One Piece, you’ll see that those arduous adventuring days include a lot of defining elements of heroic fantasy Tabletop RPGs, not just a series of back-to-back combats. In both arcs characters infiltrate enemy encampments using disguises (usually comically terrible ones, but sometimes people roll poorly and still get by). There are alliances made with local resistance fighters. Add a few traps for the Rogue and you’re not far off from an iconic D&D adventure. Just avoid splitting the party as much as Shonen Anime tends to, for your own sake.
