I’m Worried One Piece Season 2 Won’t Include My Favorite Character After Netflix Show Update
One Piece saving Arabasta for a potential season 3 has me worried that the live-action show will not include a fan-favorite character just yet.
The blurred costumes could also be teasing some of the important characters that will be introduced in season 2, including Nefertari Vivi (Charithra Chandran), Mr. 3 (David Dastmalchian), and Nico Robin (Lera Abova).Another core character will be Chopper, a reindeer imbued with Devil Fruit powers who becomes a core member of the group when he’s introduced. This latest behind-the-scenes look doesn’t reveal too much about what to expect from season 2, but does indicate a strong follow-up after theend ofOne Pieceseason 1.
