One Piece Season 2 Trailer Review
This March, One Piece fans are going to break Netflix.
In the summer of 2023, Netflix released its live-action adaptation of the legendary anime, One Piece. And despite the streaming platform’s track record with adapting anime, One Piece proved that it’s built different by having a live-action adaptation that was actually good! From managing to make its characters and world loyal to Oda’s vision to faithfully retelling the early days of the story, Netflix’s One Piece has been a cut above the rest. It’s almost as if having the series creator serve as the end-all authority on what works and what doesn’t was a good idea. You hear that, Shyamalan?
It’s been almost three years since the first season dropped on Netflix, and while the anime and manga have continued apace, we’ve had to wait for the live-action version to return. On March 10th, though, the wait shall be over, and judging by the final trailer we’ve gotten for the series, it will be worth every second spent!
Picking up where the first season left off, season two will see Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates finally enter the Grand Line, and discover just how insane it truly is. Judging by everything that we know, this season will cover the tail-end of the East Blue Saga that started it all to the first half of the Alabasta Saga. This is when One Piece really started to find its stride, as Oda began to drop any remaining pretense of realism in favor of telling a story that’s absolutely crazy, and it shows in the trailer. Everything that we see in the trailer is something that we’ve seen in the series, no matter how crazy it may seem. That includes fighting otters, giants, a whale big enough to rival the one from Pinocchio, giants, dinosaurs and more! And that’s not even getting into the Devil Fruit powers we see. Newcomers should prepare themselves, as from the moment we enter the Grand Line, Devil Fruit users are going to be found in almost every antagonistic group we’ll meet, with powers just as crazy as Luffy’s.
However, what I think fans, especially longtime ones, are most excited about are the introductions of two important characters: Miss All Sunday and Chopper.
Chopper Still Cute as Ever!
I won’t spoil anything about Miss All Sunday in case you’re a newcomer to the series, but when it comes to Chopper, I don’t think I need to hold back. With his chibi form and childish innocence, Chopper is pretty much the mascot of One Piece. It’s to the point that the One Piece YouTube channel has a little comic strip about him. The series knows he’s adorable and has spent years selling merch of him, and it’s not hard to understand why. But despite how cute he looks, Chopper has one of the saddest backstories out of any member of the Straw Hat Pirates. Granted, a lot of characters in One Piece had a hard past, but Chopper’s is one of the saddest. I sincerely hope that Netflix gives his backstory the justice it deserves.
We have less than a month before the series drops its second season, and I’m even more excited for it now than I was for the first one. The reasons being that now that I know that Netflix can pull this off, I want to see how far they can go. Secondly, the Alabasta Saga was when I started getting into One Piece back when it was being dubbed by 4Kids. Their dub might have been terrible, but it still turned me into a lifelong fan. So I hope that Netflix does this justice!
