By the way: Those in charge of One Piece had already promised that a mixture of CGI and handmade effects would be used for Chopper – just like for Arlong’s fishmen in season 1. The first picture now shows that CGI definitely takes the lion’s share.
It is currently unknown when season 2 of One Piece will start on Netflix.A release of the new episodes towards the end of 2025 would not be unlikely. In this regard, fans will have to exercise patience for the time being.
Meanwhile, many, many new actors have been announced for the upcoming season of the series in the last few days and weeks. For example, Joe Manganiello as Sir Crocodile, Charithra Chandran as Vivi, Callum Kerr as Smoker and Lera Abova as Nico Robin.
