Every New & Returning Character


Warning: This article contains spoilers for the One Piece manga, on which the Netflix show is based.

One Piece season 2’s cast is bigger than ever, bringing multiple characters from Eiichiro Oda’s manga to live-action for the first time. One Piece season 2’s story covers the majority of the Arabasta saga, ranging from Loguetown to Drum Island. One Piece season 1’s ending teased as much, with the Straw Hat pirates finally heading for the Grand Line.

One Piece‘s cast was one of the best things about the Netflix live-action anime adaptation. Having existed for more than two decades, Luffy and his friends have millions of fans around the world and had to be perfectly cast. Fortunately, not only did Netflix nail the Straw Hats, but it also delivered pitch-perfect versions of other characters.

One Piece season 3’s cast is only promising to continue this, with several actors already announced who perfectly fit their counterparts from the source material. However, concerning One Piece season 2, the cast remains staggeringly large due to the returning characters from its predecessor and the new allies and foes the Straw Hats find in the fabled Grand Line.
