Few anime franchises have the same level of appeal or global reach as Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece. Considered one of the “Big Four” of anime, along with Dragon Ball, Naruto, and Bleach, the manga series began publication in 1997. Its anime adaptation began in 1999, and both have continued uninterrupted for decades. In 2023, Netflix decided to create a live action version of the anime, and now the streaming giants are back with season 2.
The trailer for One Piece season 2 released on Tuesday begins with the protagonist, Monkey D Luffy, looking at a cliff, ready to climb it. He is joined by his trusted partner Tony Chopper. We then discover that the crew, consisting of Roronoa Zoro, Nami, Sanji and Usopp, are sailing towards the Grand Line. Luffy recognizes his crew’s potential and tells them to celebrate for the journey they’ve had so far. However, danger lurks around the corner, as a group of assassins known as the Baroque Jobs seek the reward given to the crew.
Miss All-Sunday is part of the group and threatens Luffy by saying, “You may think you’re unstoppable, but your friends aren’t made of rubber,” referring to Luffy’s Mr. Fantastic qualities. He is also joined by Miss Wednesday and Mr 3, 5 and 9. ‘The Straw Hats’ (Luffy’s crew) must survive the vicious plans of Barroco Works while meeting new allies and enemies. According to the original manga, the Grand Line arc is where the crew will interact with the whale Laboon, Princess Vivi, Chopper (for the first time), CP9, and more.
The trailer gives viewers more information about the action sequences planned for season 2, as the creators try to make it bigger and better than the last season. Zoro is seen wearing the iconic green suit while presumably about to use the coveted ‘three swords’ style. We even see him in action during the final scenes of the trailer, where he defeats a group of attackers in his own iconic, trademark way.
The One Piece Live Action season 2 cast includes Iñaki Godoy, Emily Rudd, Mackenyu, Jacob Romero, Taz Skylar, Vincent Regan, Morgan Davies, Aidan Scott, Lera Abova, and Charithra Chandran.
