Netflix’s One Piece season one has performed well, considering the mixed reviews it was getting during its pre-production stage. Live-action adaptations of anime in the past have been disasters. This made the fans worried about their favorite anime. But One Piece Live Action broke that curse by being the most-watched show on Netflix on the first release day.
It broke Stranger Things season 4 and Wednesday‘s record of premiering in more than 84 countries. But even among such huge achievements, a cloud of controversy remains. One Piece Live Action introduced five members of the Strawhat Pirates. It will be a big challenge for them to introduce the two other members, who are most likely to debut in season 2
Creating Tony Tony Chopper Will Be A Nightmare
According to One Piece manga and anime, the sixth member of the Strawhats will be Tony Tony Chopper. Tony Tony Chopper is a blue-nosed reindeer who ate the Hito Hito no Mi, a Zoan-type Devil Fruit. It allows him to stand and talk like a human. He will be an important member because he is the ship’s doctor.
Tony Tony Chopper is from Drum Island and had a pretty rough childhood. Due to being blue-nosed, he was banished from the reindeer herd, and being a reindeer, he was not accepted by human society. Doctor Hiriluk found him and made him a doctor. Doctor Kureha also loved him. Tony Tony Chopper was introduced in episode 61 of the One Piece anime and chapter 136 of the One Piece Manga.
Creating Tony Tony Chopper in Netflix’s One Piece season 2 will be extremely difficult. The best way to put him onscreen will be to use CGI, but it is going to be costly, as Chopper will have a regular appearance. Another way is to make a child dressed as Chopper. The actor who played young Sanji, Christian Convery, can be a good fit. He was seen with reindeer horns in the Sweet Tooth series.
Fans have been acting delusional with Chopper’s CGI. Several of them are circulating on the internet, but none of them are good. Chopper is a cute-looking member and needs to put extra effort into showing him on screen. Chopper’s CGI can increase the show’s popularity as well as decrease it. The producers should pay close attention to this matter.

Brook Will Follow Chopper’s Path In One Piece Live-Action
Another member who will be a nightmare for One Piece production is Brook. Brook is a skeleton wearing clothes. He was a member of the Rumbar Pirates. He ate the Yomi Yomi no Mi Devil Fruit, which allowed his soul to return to his body after death. Brook was introduced in episode 337 in the anime and chapter 442 in the manga.
Brook is seen with a cap and cane. The cane has a sword inside of it. Brook is a well-trained swordsman and a good musician. The One Piece Live Action team will have some difficulty with this character. Being a skeleton, he, too, will be to be created by CGI. A human can play him with a skeleton outfit, but it won’t look authentic. The only sigh of relief is that his body and left will be covered by clothes. Only his face, hands, and lower portion of the legs will be shown.
With One Piece Season 1 ending on a good note, the expectations for Season 2 have increased. It will be interesting to see how the One Piece Live Action team deals with Tony Tony Chopper, and Brook. Will it be CGI or a real person portraying those characters? It is the big question for season 2. Whatever happens, these two characters will be responsible for the upgrade or the downfall of the show, that is for sure.
