While Netflix has been revealing casting news and sharing behind-the-scenes promotional material, Chopper remains a big mystery. His live-action debut is one of the most anticipated moments for fans, and actor Mackenyu , who plays Roronoa Zoro , recently spoke about the experience in an interview with Variety .
Mackenyu comments on Chopper's arrival in One Piece Season 2
During the conversation, Mackenyu was promoting his work on Assassin's Creed Shadows , but he also took the opportunity to drop hints about One Piece . Without revealing too many spoilers, the actor confirmed that the new season will cover the story up until Chopper's arrival:
I'm trying not to spoil any surprises, but we'll have a lot of new characters. Oda-sensei has already confirmed that the season will run until Chopper's debut.
Even more excited, Mackenyu also revealed what it was like meeting Chopper on set:
I met Chopper! He's the cutest ever! Oh my God, I'm such a fan of his. Acting alongside him was surreal. Something truly special.
This statement has left fans even more eager to see how the character will be adapted.
When will One Piece season 2 be released on Netflix?
Despite filming wrapping, Netflix has yet to confirm a release date for the new season. Rumors suggested a possible premiere this year, but Netflix itself denied this. With the 2025 release schedule still silent on the series, fans may have to wait a little longer than they'd like.
Another important detail is that, to date, there has been no official announcement regarding the actor or the technique used to bring Chopper to life. His introduction is one of the most challenging moments of the adaptation, and Netflix appears to be taking the necessary time to ensure he remains faithful to the source material. After all, if Chopper isn't well-received, it could impact the series' future.
