One Piece live-action: Who is Mr 7?
NetflixOne Piece’s live-action series has finally dropped on Netflix. While we were able to meet the mainframe characters like Luffy, Zoro, and Nami, several other characters also grabbed our attention, one of whom was Mr. 7.
One Piece is one of the most popular and longest-running manga series. So, while every fan of the franchise was excited to get the live-action on their screens, they were also scared. That’s because Netflix made a bad reputation amongst anime fans by delivering not-so-good live-action adaptations of manga/anime, be it Death Note or Cowboy Bebop.
However, this time, it seems the streaming giant has broken the “curse” with the live-action adaptation of Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece.
The series was already hyped up ahead of its release, and now, when it has finally arrived for streaming, fans are going insane seeing the top-notch cinematography and casting. One such fight sequence that got everyone’s attention was obviously Zoro vs. Mr. 7, which also got everyone intrigued about Zoro’s opponent.
Who is Mr 7 in One Piece?
Mr. 7, who appeared in the One Piece live-action episode 1, was a swordsman sent to meet Zoro by a criminal organization named Baroque Works. The organization was interested in Zoro’s swordsman skills, so they sent Mr. 7 with a proposal asking the pirate hunter to join them.
However, Zoro shows disinterest in the offer and instead provokes him, culminating a normal conversation into a blood-soaked fight. Zoro, as expected, kills Mr. 7 after overwhelming him with his swordsmanship.
Mr. 7 has obviously died in the first episode, but the title and the position of “Mr. 7” will still live on. In the anime/manga, the position of Mr. 7 was later filled by a sniper frontier agent from the same organization.
In the anime and the manga, the new Mr. 7 works with Miss Father’s Day and is a minor antagonist in the Arabasta Arc, the eleventh story arc of the series.
Mr. 7 and his partner, Miss Father’s Day, line up their shots accurately and hit any target they want. Hopefully, we’ll see the deadly duo of Mr. 7 and Miss Father’s Day in the potential next season of the live-action series if it’s greenlit by the creators.
In the live-action, Mr. 7 is portrayed by the South African actor Ben Kgosimore. Before starting his career as an actor, he showed his talent as a radio host.
