I hate to say this to followers, however the anticipate Netflix’s One Piece Season 2 simply turned extra agonizing. (However in a great way?) Whereas there’s nonetheless optimism that it will finally obtain an official launch date on the 2025 TV schedule, I am actually flat-out impatient now after listening to the most recent feedback from franchise creator Eiichiro Oda. The mastermind answerable for Luffy and buddies not too long ago made the journey to Cape City, the place the present’s set is situated, to examine in. Now, two of his feedback have me much more pumped for brand new episodes.
The live-action adaptation of One Piece has progressed with Eiichiro Oda’s blessing, and he usually has the ultimate say on what adjustments the present could make from his manga and the anime adaptation. For instance, he dropped a “laborious no” by way of permitting a romance between Nami and Zoro, regardless of some franchise newcomers hoping it could occur. So then, what are his ideas on the progress of Season 2 up to now?
What Are Eiichiro Oda’s Ideas After Visiting The One Piece Season 2 Units In Cape City?
Eiichiro Oda summarized his go to to the set, and the message was then shared on the present’s Instagram account. One can in all probability surmise, given it was shared on an official platform, that he was impressed with what he noticed, however that may be underselling it a bit. After looking on the set over just a few days, he sounds flat-out astounded over what lies forward for the sequence:
Cape City is the place the Netflix live-action present is being filmed! I acquired to see firsthand the laborious work of so many crew members throughout numerous fields! The units? Big! The eye to element? Insane? The crew’s love for the mission? Off the charts! And the meals? Superb! Now I really feel an excellent larger sense of duty given my function.
I would think about that seeing a message like that makes the forged and crew of One Piece really feel nice. Season 2 will deliver Loguetown and different iconic places to life so, if the manga creator is astounded by the main points of units like that, I am unable to wait to see what easter eggs and surprises can be in retailer for viewers. On a aspect observe, I additionally love his remark concerning the meals, as I can really feel the components of Luffy’s character that shine within the creator. I’m wondering if he shared a meal with Mackenyu or simply despatched him one other hilariously awkward textual content about hanging out. However, vittles apart, I am now pumped for the brand new locales.
What Eiichiro Oda Thinks Of The New Forged Members
One Piece Season 2 goes to be thrilling for lots of causes, as new and thrilling characters are coming into the forged. The sequence simply welcomed many recent faces, together with Joe Manganiello because the villain Crocodile, in addition to Lera Abova, who will play Miss All Sunday. Eiichiro Oda had an opportunity to satisfy the brand new members of the ensemble and talked about his experiences with them:
I additionally managed to talk with not solely the returning forged from Season 1 but in addition every of the brand new forged members. My very own casting picks have been produced from Japan over pictures and movies, however seeing them in individual satisfied me: ‘They have been completely the right alternative!’ The vibe on set was simply the very best too. Belief me, that is going to surpass Season 1! Keep tuned for Season 2!
Not that I might essentially count on Oda to talk ailing about One Piece this deep into the manufacturing, however it’s nice to listen to simply how jazzed he’s after assembly the brand new forged members and exploring the varied places that’ll be launched this time round. On prime of these two components, it is nice that he thinks Season 2 can be higher than Season 1, as a result of I believed the latter was fairly rattling good. Ugh, I want the brand new episodes have been right here already, however I am hopeful that this lengthy wait can be value it.
The excellent news is should you’re not updated on the anime, there’s loads of One Piece content material ready so that you can get pleasure from with a Netflix subscription. If you have not watched the anime but, I might extremely advocate it, although be warned that it has over 1,100 episodes!
