Netflix’s One Piece live-action series set a high bar for anime adaptations’ capabilities of fitting the anime’s admittedly intimidatingly long arcs into palatable episodic chunks. With Season 2 on the horizon, Luffy actor Iñaki Godoy has revealed three iconic anime scenes he would love to see the series plant its flag in next.
In an interview with Youtuber Full Haki Marco (translated by ComicBook.com), Godoy revealed that the three scenes he’s most excited to see the Netflix series tackle are Princess Vivi’s heartfelt farewell at the end of the Alabasta Arc, Nico Robin’s tear-jerking “I want to live” scene from the Ennies Lobby Arc, and the totality of the Marineford arc.
It should be noted that while many of these scenes (and whole arcs) top the tier list for many a One Piece fan’s most emotionally climactic junctures, they’re also awhile away in terms of where the live-action series is in the grand scheme of things with the manga/anime. The Alabasta arc is the last arc of the Alabasta saga’s five-part story arc. Likewise, the iconic Nico Robin scene is a story arc and a half divorced from the events of Alabasta. Marineford correspondingly serves as the series pre-time-skip arc. Suffice it to say, it would take the Netflix series a while before it would hit Godoy’s most anticipated scenes. This fact, however, hasn’t deterred the Luffy actor, as he plans on sticking with the series for the long haul.
“I am happy to play Luffy and will play Luffy for as long as it makes sense,” Godoy told Full Haki Marco. “Whatever time it takes, if I am playing Luffy is because I am happy to play him, I want to play him, and it makes sense for me to play him.”
One Piece’s second season is reportedly slated to drop on the streamer sometime in 2025, with filming expected to begin next month. While little is known about the scope of the upcoming season, various social media posts from creator Eiichiro Oda and Godoy respectively celebrating the show’s second season and Luffy’s birthday all but confirmed it will include the introduction of the Straw Hat’s doctor, Tony Tony Chopper, and will revolve around the Alabasta arc.
That being said, there’s also a high chance that the Netflix live-action series’ second season — much like the first, which condensed 93 chapters (around 17 hours of anime) into eight hour-long episodes — will play with the order of events in the Alabasta arc while also injecting some original storylines to complement the original series. Season 1, for example, depicted Koby’s and Admiral Garp’s blossoming student-mentor relationship, which happened off-screen in both the manga and anime.
In our review of One Piece (Netflix’s version), we gave the series a six out of 10, saying it was “an entertaining adaptation that’s hindered by a desire to recreate every major event found in its source material.”
