Here we go, a little comparison between the Japanese and Korean opening. A thing I'd like to point out is that the Korean opening uses a completely different song. At the beginning of the Korean opening, you instantly see the One Piece logo. This means that the part where it originally occurs, that is, when Luffy grabs onto Going Merry and flies into the camera, continues instantly with the next screen without the appearance of the title (since it already happened at the beginning!). Also, the whole opening ends before a seagull flies across the camera. You know, the part when the camera is tailing behind Going Merry.

It looks like this logo uses the flag that's used in a lot of One Piece products. The red text is where the "From TV Animation" used to be. Onwards...

Hmm! It looks like Sanji is once again cursed with a lollipop. I heard that he actually doesn't have one in the Korean dub. Maybe they were thinking about it (they had about 20 episodes anyway) and then decided to leave it in when Sanji came into the story. Thanks to Wyraachur for showing me that it was indeed possible to get that frame on the left.

Lollipop.

Next up is a strange edit to Zoro's swords (and pretty much everybody else on the ship). Not much more to say about it, other than people thinking that they're clubs.

This is the reason why they look like clubs to many.

And finally, to furthermore prevent others from thinking it was a cigarette (at the time being), it was erased from this shot and Sanji is just holding his face.
