Get ready for an epic showdown as the Arabasta Arc comes to life in One Piece’s second season!
It feels like it was just yesterday that the live-action adaptation of One Piece dropped. I remember not caring for it, but that just prompted my friend to hold a make-believe gun to my head so that I would not miss out on the supposed ‘peak’ media. A thrilling news slipped out of Netflix’s mouth recently; the castings for the upcoming second season of the live-action One Piece has been unveiled.
Iñaki Godoy reprises his role as Monkey D. Luffy, and the adored Straw Hat gang will undoubtedly be returning from Season 1. The cast also includes Taz Skylar as Sanji, Jacob Romero Gibson as Usopp, Emily Rudd as Nami, and Mackenyu Arata as Roronoa Zoro.
The news that four antagonists from the Arabasta narrative would be appearing this season is sure to excite you all, as that alone suggests what an awesome turn things will start to take. As part of Crocodile’s plot to seize control of the Arabasta Kingdom, Baroque Works becomes infamous in the anime for their criminal activities.
Mr. 3, Mr. 5, and Mr. 9 are going to be played by David Dastmalchian, Camrus Johnson, and Daniel Lasker, respectively as the newest members of the previously mentioned criminal ring, with the addition of Jazzara Jaslyn’s assumption for Miss Valentine’s role. But, the identity of the actor playing Warlord Crocodile, the syndicate’s mastermind, remains a mystery.
The casting announcements from Netflix also include Werner Coetser taking on Dorry, Brendan Murray as Brogy, and Clive Russell going for Crocus. To refresh the memory of the anime fans, Mr. 3 and Miss Goldenweek went after Dorry and Brogy for their bounties, while Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine went for the beloved Straw Hats.
I do not think my friend needs to hold that figurative firearm to my head anymore to watch the second season, because, for whatever reason, the first installment of this live-action One Piece adaptation has already led me down the path of being okay with watching the anime – despite how much I was against the idea, due to the absurd number of episodes.
I am just glad that this one did not get canceled like how Shadow and Bone’s Haunting was canceled, and hopefully, I did not just jinx the show by saying that. Now begins the waiting game.
