Season 2 should be 12 episodes. I want to see more episodes of Live Action. After watching and reading One Piece for over 1000 chapters and 1000 episodes, watching just 8 episodes of OP Live Action feels so unsatisfying. I want more.

Thanks for the breakdown. I really hope they don’t split up the Alabasta arc. I think ending the season with the X-mark Vivi scene is SO POWERFUL and would mirror the barrel scene that they made the end of season 1. …then the after credit scene could show Robin hiding as a stow away as a zinger for season 3.

This is great! Im impressed that we are getting so many character confirmations. It would nice if we could find out how the character Chopper will be handled. Im hoping that some of the more campy aspects of certain characters such as Mr 3 and Wapol will be toned down a bit.. especially for people who aren't familiar with the source material. Im super excited to see Smoker and Tashigi in the live action and I hope they get to be one of the Straw Hats primary Navy antagonists moving forward. Thanks for providing such a detailed breakdown of each new casting.

i love these first castings!! however they make waiting for the REAL heavy hitters even harder (robin, vivi, ace, crocodile, CHOPPER???) i simply cant wait 😭😭😭

They can take notes from the team behind the cg on Hobbits in the Middle Earth saga films and do the reverse of it.

I believe the OPLA will not skip any canon arcs bcz they don't wanna create loop holes for the future since they probably know Oda always finds a way to reuse the old arcs to enhence the future plot by connecting their importance in some way. they most likely just don't want to take the risk of ruining Oda's work as they are also fans of his work.

You know a kind of want alabasta to be season 3 so they can take their time with it. Then they have more time for everything prior to it and dont have to condense as much.

As long as oda approves everything it will successful

I was waiting for you to tallk about it! This is so exciting!

Still waiting for announcement of DeVito as Gaimon

i can see them cutting a lot of the parts in alabasta where they're walking back and forth through the dessert, i could see them cutting luffys fake out death with the dessert toilet too

I’m really hoping we get Igaram and Miss Monday and they do whiskey peak. I’m worried they are gonna try and tie everything from whiskey peak into Laboon. Just cause I want the badass scene of Zoro fighting the 100 agents as well as the bomb scene where Igaram “dies.” They’re epic and hope they don’t cut it. They’re doing Mr. 9, so that gives me hope we will get the other two. I know we are getting Ms. Goldenweek. That leaves Dr. Hiruluk, Dr. Kureha (please Jamie Lee Curtis), Chopper’s voice actor, as well as Chess and Kurimarimo. And also Vivi and Robin. We also might get Crocodile since we first hear his voice when Sanji is on Little Garden. And: possibly casting for Mr. 2 and Ace since they appear right at the end of Drum Island leading into Alabasta. Almost forgot! Dragon casting too! But that might be a surprise till it airs. Looking at all they are doing, there is no way the entire Alabasta Saga is adapted in only 8 episodes. I’m thinking with that rumor that they were filming season 3 with 2 means that this season will be split into two halves with the latter focusing solely on Alabasta.

Awesome video bro! I’ve been getting hyped over the castings for the whole week and your breakdowns are so enjoyable to watch! And yeah, I can definitely see them keeping all of Alabasta in S2 and just cutting out some unnecessary scenes. 3 episodes that are a little over an hour each could honestly be enough to tell that arc, especially since they might incorporate other elements into earlier episodes of the season.

Callum looks like an amazing smoker

I hope they take there time with the Alabasta story.

The idea of David Dastmalcian playing Mr. 3 was a big surprise

David's gonna be sooo good as Mr 3!! He's such a great actor and truly brings passion into what he does which is important

These were some great casting which as for the agents I agree that I would like to see maybe them implying that Mr.9 & Miss Monday like each other, but what would be really cool is like how they did with Mr.7 in the 1st season they can do the other members that are minor like Miss Catherina or Mr. Beans along with adding the Frontier Agents we never seen like Mr. 6, Miss Mother’s Day, Mr.10, Miss Tuesday, Miss Thursday (Mr.11’s partner), Mr. 12, & Miss Saturday

I originally had dave dastmalchian fan casted as Bon Kurei but sure Galdino's great too!

Where the hell can I get that Devil Fruit Hoodie? That drip is FIRE!!!

What I want to see is how they do Chopper and his various transformations. I'm going to guess all CG, although little form would be great with physical animatronics.

I'm curious what they're gonna do with Mr. 3's hair, if they're gonna go for it and do the giant 3 hair or something different. I could see them doing something like giving him have a curly bang in the shape of a 3 that falls on his forehead instead.

Possible first look at the reverie and Marie-Joie through the Vivi/Dalton flashback ! 👀

I would love if the Live Action would do Oda’s original 250 issue idea. That way we could see LA go to its conclusion. And it would be fun.

Im more than happy that we’ll just stop at drum island this season. Means the story will be thorough and pacing might be more fleshed out compare to season 1

I heard recently that it was going to be 12 episodes that I think would be enough to do it properly.

Live long and prosper. 🖖

I don't understand why so many people are on the fence with the Giants on Little Garden. Have you never seen an Alice in Wonderland Life Action Movie? And here they can even skip the Growth Scene entirely. About Dalton's existence as a Zoan Fruit User being preserved: That wasn't at all a given. The Drum Recap Movie completely omits that. Lastly, I know that's unlikely at best but: Can Mr 6 and Miss Mother's Day at least show up somewhere? It still is so weird that these two, Top Ten Ranking Agents, didn't do anything during Operation Utopia...

The next season will be 12 episodes, so they will finish Alabasta! I got no call so I guess I'm not Chopper. Oh well. Maybe I can try again with Lola! As for the giants, simple green screen effects can handle that pretty easily!

I think they should do 12 episodes ...8 up to end of drum island and do a 4 episodes as alabasta and have it come out 6months to a yr after so we can get a season a year ....you have a build up with the 8 episodes and then a 4 episode conclusion I think it would be a great way to do it as to not leave out important characters and story line

I want an awesome Bon-Chan :D

Honestly a bigger role would suit him a lot better imo. Not sure which one though

I think that they are going to scale down the giants a little. Just look at what they did to the fishmen. I just hope that they don't make the giants the same size as the rest of the cast. I can understand, from a live-action production standpoint, why they would scale back some of the character sizes. As for the number of episodes, I can see them reducing reverse mountain and whiskey peaks to (at most) one episode each.

Theyre just biding their time announcing Jamie Ler Curtis as Cureha. Or do you think they'll find someone else for that role?

Alabasta and skypiea could fit in 8 episodes as skypiea doesn’t really have much to fill up episodes as water 7 and robin rescue would work out for season 4

Love the vcasting so far but am worried about Miss Golden Week, ngl ^^; Was one of my favourite early characters.

I still believe (and hope) Alabasta is not going to be done this season, it would be too rushed, but also Alabasta wouldn't be the entirety of the next season. It makes way more sense to split next season between Alabasta, Jaya, and Skypedea, which is more than enough for a full fleshed season. The producer have said they want to do 6 seasons before the timeskip, so there seems to be enough room to adapt more elements of the story. Season 3: Alabasta, Jaya, and Skypedea Season 4: Foxy Pirates, Water Seven, and Enis Lobby Season 5: Thriller Bark, Sabadody, and maybe Amazon Lilly Season 6: maybe Amazon Lilly, Impel Down and Marine Fort I definitely feel there's more than enough material to split the seasons like this.

(Heavy spoiler warning) 10:57 sorry what? Okay luffys fruit wasnt revealed as a zoan officially until wano i think, but theres been hints ever since enies lobby or cp9 with gear 2 and 3. So luffys fruit is the first zoan, but it was called a paramecia until wano, and both hito hito no mis on the strawhat crew sort of appeared before daltons fruit. I dont think chopper used his fruit until then, and luffys fruit was thought to be the gomu gomu no mi, but it is the hito hito no mi: model nika, and im pretty sure chopper appeared before dalton, i think, i dunno its been a while since i watched drum island. So maybe daltons fruit is the first zoan to be revealed, but not the first one to be seen.

Wow, they look JUST LIKE the characters. I can't wait for NR's and NV's actresses to look JUST LIKE the characters, too. :)

I need: Mason Alexander Park for Bonclay Jamie Lee Curtis as Dr. Kureha Brina Palencia as Tony Tony Chopper Xolo Maridueña as Portgas D. Ace

If they don't cut a ton of stuff and merge arcs the actors will age out before we get to Wano arc let alone to end. I mean 1 season a year+ and we need like 15yrs lol.

Does anybody else think that it would be cool if they got a Russian or Ukraine somewhere in there actress to play Nico robin? Because a little while back, Oda(wow, my microphone actually spelled that, right) gave all of the straw hats, real-world nationalities, and hers was Russian. I think it might make things interesting and different in a good way

Bro why are you blurring everything

Now if we could get Jamie Lee Curtis to play as Doctor Kureha would be be great but that's very unlikely.

12 episodes is enough Episodes to fit in everything there should be no reason why it shouldn’t fit as they can strip stuff away that isn’t important in Alabasta

Yo so im trying really hard here to here you but that background alexa sound III simply cannot focus on whats being said and yeah i know its not that loud just distracting ....not sure if im thebonly one who has this issue but as much as i wanted to watch i i unable i really wish i wasnt

Wait when was the reference to the burning beast of Baldimore?

"rumor 8 episode"

Naomi Scott as Nefertari Vivi

How the hell are they gona use cgi to make the giants

chopper will be voiced by Jack Black

2026!! Bullocks

I couldn't watch this with all the blurred images. Made my eyes sore

I hope they cast Robin and Chopper well because they are really important characters. And especially, they must make Chopper with a sense of mission to make it cute. Chopper's entire identity is cuteness.🥹

the floating picture while you speaks 2 to 3 paragraphs makes it a bit too draggy and distracting, a little change is needed. :)

#atticus4wadatsumi

… I don’t know when he wants to play Mr.3 when it’s far better to play Crocodile.

i just really hope they put Lucas Amorim as Ace he worked so hard for it he just needs a little more work on the acting

#lucas4ace

Said it months ago, and I'll say it again. Miss Goldenweek will be played by Jenna Ortega

Spoiler for episodes that came out 22 years ago. Cmon my guy🤪

Boa Hancock is a big joke😂 🤣

a

I feel like crocodile will be a woman

The casting of Robin will break the show. If they miss on her and Crocodile everything else is pointless.

I wouldn't mind the sexual tension being added in between tashigi and Zoro they gonna be too hot on screen
