One Piece has often treated the fans with some Earth-shattering mysteries. Eiichiro Oda keeps the answers in plain sight, but the fans often complicate things with their theories. There is no doubt that Oda sensei is a genius and a master at foreshadowing. But several mysteries are more than just theories. One such theory in One Piece is between Zoro’s childhood friend, Kuina, and Captain Smoker’s left hand, Tashigi.

Roronoa Zoro often speaks about their resemblance, which often confuses the fans. It has been an ongoing debate for the last two decades. After Captain Smoker’s confirmation, Tashigi will also make his debut in season 2. It might once again ignite the Kuina-Tashigi controversy. Julia Rehwald has been confirmed to play the role of Tashigi in the upcoming season.

Julia Rehwald has been confirmed to play the role of Tashigi in Netflix’s One Piece Live Action. Season one confirmed Captain Smoker, and it also confirms Tashigi’s role. In the anime, when Roronoa Zoro first met Tashigi, he mistook her to be Kuina. The fans also found a resemblance between them. In the live-action, Audrey Cymone played the role of Kuina. Surprisingly, Julia Rehwald and Audrey Cymone also look kind of the same. It further strengthens the Kuina-Tashigi controversy.

Matt Owens is an avid One Piece fan. Knowing how he was a perfectionist in season one, it might be one of his doings. Moreover, Eiichiro Oda’s involvement with the show also proves that there might be a lot of similarities between the anime and the series. The mangaka also said that their being the spitting image of each other is just a coincidence. But implementing the same thing in the series sounds more than just a coincidence.

Netflix’s One Piece Live Action has created a separate identity other than the man. But when it comes to Tashigi, it will likely follow the anime’s policy. Several important scenarios will take place in season 2. But the latest mystery might add another element to the uncanny resemblance. Moreover, Eiichiro Oda does not do anything with a fluke. Maybe Tashigi is in fact adult Kuina who lost her memories.

Netflix’s One Piece Live Action season 1 has attained massive success after the fans initially doubted the show. The previous projects of anime live adaptations have failed miserably, especially Death Note and Cowboy Bebop. But Eiichiro Oda’s presence in season one added several intense elements to the show. Captain Kuro, Buggy, Monkey D. Garp, Mihawk, etc., proved their worth as the live-action stars. The mangaka had sprinkled the magic dust all over the series.

The fans demanded season two after season one. There has been a lot of speculation surrounding the different situations in season two. Apart from Captain Smoker, Tony Tony Chopper is also set to make his live-action debut. The Straw Hat Pirates will be heading towards the Grand Line with more enthusiasm and hope than ever. Unknowingly, they will also attract many enemies. It will double the fun. Apart from that, the fans can also start cooking new live action fan theories.

One Piece Live Action is available for streaming on Netflix.
