When Monkey D. Luffy began the Straw Hat Pirates in One Piece, his first recruit was Roronoa Zoro, who practices the Three Sword Type and is decided to change into the world’s finest swordsman. Mackenyu performs Zoro in Netflix’s live-action adaptation of Eiichiro Oda’s manga, and he shared the massive objective he needed to perform for his character in One Piece Season 2. Whereas that’s all properly and good, I’m extra astounded by the Data he casually dropped throughout this similar interview.
Get Prepared For A Extra Badass Zoro in One Piece Season 2
A number of weeks after it was introduced that One Piece had completed filming its second season, a Crunchyroll interview with Mackenyu had dropped, and one of many questions the actor was requested is what it was like bringing Zoro to life once more for this subsequent batch of episodes. He answered:
The primary season I used to be looking for the best way to deliver Zoro to life. That was my most important objective for season one. However for season two, the objective was to make him rather a lot deadlier and cooler, simply degree this badass character up.
With One Piece Season 2 adapting the Loguetown, Reverse Mountain (Twin Cape), Whiskey Peak, Little Backyard and Drum Island storylines from the manga/anime, there’s positively gained’t be any scarcity of moments for Mackenyu’s Roronoa Zoro to look extra badass. What particularly involves thoughts (and I’ll situation a spoiler warning for anybody who solely watches the live-action present and needs to enter Season 2 recent) is when Zoro takes on all these Baroque Works operatives throughout Whiskey Peak by himself. We’ll additionally probably appear him coaching below frigid temperatures throughout Drum Island, so yeah, I’m wanting ahead to seeing Zoro up his sport in Season 2.
Apparently One Piece Season 3 Is A Go
On the time of this writing, Netflix hasn’t introduced One Piece Season 3, which is irritating since Season 2 stops simply in need of reaching the epic Alabasta arc. Nevertheless, in response to Mackenyu, a 3rd season is already a finished deal, as a result of he mentioned this when requested if he had a message to provide to followers who’re ready for his subsequent mission:
The following mission goes to be One Piece Season 2. We do have initiatives lined up for this yr earlier than we shoot Season 3 of One Piece, however I can’t let you know something about that, so it’s not going to be enjoyable for y’all.
Clearly we will’t contemplate One Piece Season 3 an formally finished deal till the powers-that-be at Netflix say one thing, however for one of many lead actors of the present to say one thing isn’t insignificant. Frankly, I hoped that Season 3’s destiny has already been determined because it’s wanting much less probably that Season 2 will premiere on the 2025 TV schedule. The lengthy wait is unlucky, however at the least Season 3 can begin being put collectively sooner fairly than having to attend till after Season 2’s launch. That approach, there can be a a lot faster turnaround in comparison with the hole between Seasons 1 and a couple of.
For now although, there’s nothing to cease you from firing up each One Piece Season 1 along with your Netflix subscription. Additionally do not forget that Netflix may also be dwelling to The One Piece, the remake the unique anime collection, which can be streamed on the platform.
