Is Merry dead?
The answer to this question varies depending on which version of One Piece you’re referring to.
In the manga and anime, Merry manages to survive Kuro’s assault, yet the live-action series takes a different turn, depicting Merry’s demise as Sham and Buchi discard his lifeless body down a well.
A departure from the original storyline occurs when, instead of Kaya stumbling upon Merry in the mansion, it is Zoro and Usopp who discover his remains in the well, marking the final appearance of Merry in this altered narrative.
