Error?
Isn't it more of an ugly shadow? It just looks like it and not an "error". 23:24, 21 November 2021 (UTC)

You can see shadowing on his left eye and forehead, and his right cheek is lighted up normally. Rhavkin (talk) 04:07, 22 November 2021 (UTC)

Yeah, the heavy shadow on the external eye is a classic stylistic feature on several japanese animation. It is intended to focalize the attention on the internal eye and put some "cool" aura on the character and is realized already in storyboard step. The shadowing on the forehead is instead an average color shadow which is worked separately. 09:23, 22 November 2021 (UTC)

It is a dramatic tool in scenes like this, this, this, or this to name a few. The shot in the opening is far from dramatic, given the context of it being an opening, and that Luffy is smiling excitingly. Rhavkin (talk) 15:59, 22 November 2021 (UTC)

Okay, just saw a compare video with the original and there is a blackened eye as well. I now think it is just poor mirroring, or just looks bad because of the background. Rhavkin (talk) 04:52, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
