Netflix’s One Piece Season 2 still has a long way to go, and director Marc Jobst has special hopes for it. Here’s everything you need to know about it.
Netflix’s most successful live-action adaptation series, One Piece, is all set for its highly-anticipated sequel. The second season is currently under production. It was renewed two weeks after the series debuted and created quite a buzz on the internet.
Eiichiro Oda confirmed the sequel in a special video message, thanking global fans for their support. He also teased Chopper’s introduction, which more or less confirms that Season 2 will adapt the Arabasta Saga.
The Saga follows Luffy and his crew all the way to the Grand Line, with more dangerous enemies. In a recent interview, One Piece live-action director Marc Jobst shares his thoughts on Easter Eggs during Gold Roger’s execution. Delve deeper to find out more
One Piece director Marc Jobst’s thoughts on Easter Eggs
In a recent interview shared on YouTube, when asked about the enormous amounts of Easter Eggs in the opening scene, Marc Jobst says, “Man, you know, there were more. We had more Easter Eggs.
“You know, we shot a lot of stuff for those scenes, and, you know, it would be lovely if maybe in season two, you know, because Oda-san quite often goes back to the execution of Gold Roger.
“So there’s quite a lot of material we shot that we haven’t used, and it might be quite fun to use some of that kind of later on to build the bigger picture of Gold Roger’s execution. I don’t know, listen, I don’t know what the showrunners have got in mind, but we had lots of other Easter Eggs that never got into the final cut.”
The interviewer also asked him to throw one example if possible, but Marc funnily responded, “David, I would be murdered if I did that. How could I possibly do that? You know I can’t say that.”
What to expect from One Piece Season 2
One Piece Season 2 will adapt the Loguetown arc (the final arc of East Blue Saga) and the Arabasta Saga. The Straw Hats will visit the town where the Pirate King was born and executed. They will meet an unexpected adversary there and barely survive the journey to the Grand Line.
