The One Thing ‘One Piece Odyssey’ Is Missing

Characters from the video game 'One Piece Odyssey'

Like One Piece Film: Red, Odyssey's scale and production feel like they've hit a new high in the series. However, there's one key aspect in which Odyssey doesn't feel quite up to date. And it's a bit of a heartbreaking omission, too.
