The ending of Netflix’s One Piece season 1 hyped the audiences by introducing a new character. Those following Eiichiro Oda’s original Manga series recognized the character in an instant. Luffy defeats every other pirate in East Blue, and Season 1 ends with him searching for new adventures in the Grand Line. But with the arrival of the new mysterious character, fans have been rather excited for Season 2. Several questions arise, such as what the plot might be about? and who will play the role of this mysterious figure in Season 2.
How did the Netflix’s One Piece Season 1 end?
After the ending scene of Season 1 of Netflix’s One Piece, the post-credit scene rolls. This scene was crucial as it gave the audience an insight into what the plot can become. The scene starts with dark and mysterious vibes in which faint smoke rises. Those who watched the One Piece anime recognized the scene in an instant as it was foreshadowing the arrival of Smoker in the coming season.
There is a reasonable probability that if there were a Season 2 of One Piece live-action, then the plot would revolve around Luffy and his adventures involving Smoker. However, there is no official information available about who might play the role of this character.
Who is Smoker in One Piece?
The character revealed at the end of Netflix’s One Piece season 1 was Captain Smoker. He is a member of the Marines stationed at Loguetown. He is different from the other marines Luffy encountered in One Piece‘s first live-action outing as Smoker is a Devil Fruit user. However, the character isn’t an antagonist as he has been portrayed as one of the good marines in the One Piece anime.
Has Season 2 of Netflix’s One Piece been confirmed?
There hasn’t been any official announcement regarding season 2 of Netflix’s One Piece. Considering season 1 just dropped, it’s implausible we’ll hear anything for a while.
Season one of the One Piece live-action follows the events of season 1 of the anime, along with some portions from the East Blue manga saga. One Piece anime has 1073 episodes as of August 2023, which translates into the 20th season. This implies that the future of the live-action holds a lot more content than we’re speculating at the moment.
Predicting a particular date for the release of Season 2 of One Piece live-action can be challenging. Hypothetically, if Season 2 were to be released, then based on season one’s timeline, we might have an idea. The filming for season one of the live-action started in January 2022 and finished in August 2022. However, the series was released a year later, in August 2023. Considering this, if season 2 was confirmed this year then production might begin in January 2024, and the series might drop by summer 2025.
