Steven Maeda says there are at least two animal characters from the manga he would love to adapt for Netflix’s One Piece adaptation.Maeda shared Shushu the dog had a fully developed story in One Piece that was never filmed. The showrunner revealed plans for a side story involving the fan-favorite furry in an interview with Screen Rant. “We had a fully broken Shushu story,” he said. “It was slightly different than the manga story. At the end of the day, we ended up separating it out of this version of the story, and we never actually shot it. We had a scene and an arc with Shushu and Zoro, and it was very different. And ultimately, we decided it was too different.”Shushu (Chouchou) is a small white dog who guarded his late master Hocker’s pet food shop in Orange Town. The character is endeared to manga fans because of his devotion to Hocker, keeping watch over the shop even when everyone else fled when Buggy’s Pirate crew invaded the town. “We would have loved to have the Shushu story in there,” Maeda admitted. “But it’s more important to have Zoro be with Luffy and Nami when they are encountering Buggy as opposed to being off on a separate side story. I love Shushu, and I have three terriers of my own. So, I definitely have a soft spot for the Shushu story.”RELATED: Garp’s Early Introduction in Netflix’s Live-Action One Piece Series Explained
