While Netflix has been revealing news about the cast and sharing promotional behind-the-scenes materials, 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 this experience in an interview with Variety .
Mackenyu comments on Chopper's arrival in the 2nd Season of One Piece
During the conversation, Mackenyu was promoting his work on Assassin's Creed Shadows , but 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 to Chopper's arrival.
I'm trying not to spoil any surprises, but we'll have many 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 to meet Chopper on set:
I met Chopper! He's the cutest of them all! Oh my God, I'm such a big 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 season 2 of One Piece be released on Netflix?
Despite filming having wrapped, Netflix has yet to confirm a release date for the new season. Rumors suggested a possible premiere this year, but Netflix itself denied this information. With the 2025 release schedule making no mention of the series, fans may have to wait a little longer than they would like.
Another important detail is that, so far, there has been no official announcement about 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 seems to be taking the necessary time to ensure that he is faithful to the original material. After all, if Chopper is not well received, it could impact the future of the series.
