It’s funny because One Piece is absolutely the kind of show you could get away with poo poo like out of place accents and lollipop cigarettes so that dub was a special kind of awful, Marc Diarson aside.

Yeah, Zoro was definitely the standout of the 4kids dub, Marc did a great job. I even like his voice more than Sabat's Zoro.

Speaking of which, were the Fake Hats in the Funimation dub voiced by the crew’s regular actors only switched around like they were in the Japanese version?

Fake Hat - Straw Hat
Luffy - Sanji
Nami - Chopper
Zoro - Usopp
Usopp - Franky
Sanji - Zoro
Chopper - Luffy
Robin - Nami
Franky - Brook

It's even the same switch-arounds as in Japanese.

I’m pretty sure Fake Chopper was a normal deer (or some kind of animal) and didn’t talk. Also I was under the impression that Luffy voiced Fake Nami but I could be wrong.

Fake Chopper is a wild fox with a moustache that they stuck a hat on. It spent half the episode attached to the fake Robin’s head.

They don't seem to do it so much anymore, but one of my favorite little touchesin the Japanese version was how the majority of the prominent animals were voiced by members of the Straw Hats.

Carue was voiced by Sanji, Minotaurus was voiced by Usopp, Sphinx was voiced by Brook, Nami voiced the rabbit that thought he was a cat in Water 7, Zoro voiced Pierre in Skypiea.

A big problem with 4Kids was their time slots were aimed for young children, and the big TV networks had vast restrictions on what can be put on air. No death, no guns, no sexual references, no drugs, etc. The stuff posted above on how they aquired it in the first place is neat to read. It never made sense to me why a company aiming for the 8-12 audience would attempt to dub OP.

Apparently they got it in a package deal with some other anime franchises that they were after, and got the ball rolling on making it a SatAM cartoon before they realized just how dark/violent it was.

Incidentally, when 4Kids One Piece was first announced, they had a version of We Are ready that quite frankly I like better than the real English We Are (and not just because it's free of Vic.)

Yeah, not exactly an accurate translation in the least but still a good song none the less. Kind of a pity they never actually used it.

An accurate translation of We Are would be largely meaningless nonsense anyway.

I think the end of Crocodile vs Luffy Round Three is that for me, because it’s one thing to just have a hype track like You Say Run or some poo poo for the end of an anime fight but another thing entirely to just sync From The New World to the entire last third of the episode. Mayumi Tanaka rules for being the reason that was included.

Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.

Yeah, ending the fight with Dvorak was inspired but I'm in One Piece for the adventure. I hope we get another arc before this is over that's just the Strawhats going on some fantastical journey that's completely unrelated to the overarching plot. I've enjoyed the New World but the way each part has lead directly to the next has made it feel a lot smaller than Paradise did.

I'm prety sure Elbaf is going to be an adventure story. At most it's got a connection to Big Mom and maybe the sky islands, but other than that it's just the land of the giants, literally named fable backwards.
