In the original manga and the anime, Sanji smokes constantly and is very flirtatious and perky towards any woman he meets. These traits were toned down for this show not only to avoid a TV MA rating but also to not alienate the female audience.
For Sanji's first fight scene, several fighting styles were tried out to find the one that was felt appropriate for the character. After many unsatisfactory attempts, Taz Skylar joked "Why don't I just hold a plate of food while I do the fight? And have the other hand in my pocket?" That joke as well as a YouTube video showing a cart-wheel kick that suited Sanji's fighting style were the basis for several months of practice. On the day of filming, the entire set was packed, and Skylar, who had never done a fight scene before, was nervous about getting the shot right without any failure.
Unlike the original version, this Usopp tries to look the part of a Captain by wearing a signature pirate hat and long coat.
Nami bribes the greeter to get the crew inside. This is due to the restaurant being a fancy and big as a hotel ship instead of small cafe-sized ship like in the original.
