One Piece‘s latest episode 1116 has presented a beacon of relief to the series’ fanbase. The progressing Egghead Arc has eliminated the concerns related to the fate of Sabo, the second-in-command of the Revolutionary Army. Sabo’s survival has now been confirmed. The episode also saw a new voice actor for Sabo, Miyu Irino taking over the role from Toru Furuya.
During the incident of Lulusia, Sabo was predicted to be dead along with the whole island. His survival not only relieved fans’ concerns but also added a new layer to the development of the plot. He is the sole person who witnessed the events at Mary Geoise. His revelation about some important figures promises to revamp the complicated world of One Piece.
The New Voice of Sabo Eases Fan Concerns
One Piece fans have been tussling with the story’s plot twist as well as the change of voice actor cast. Miyu Irino became the new voice actor for Sabo. He has been met with optimism for his role. Irino brings a rich experience from all his previous roles in anime such as Spirited Away, A Silent Voice, and Mob Psycho 100.
This change-over comes with relief to fans who were worried about potential disturbance to Sabo’s character. There was a chance that might have affected the character after the departure of Toru Furuya. However, Irino as his replacement has been largely appreciated.
In contrast, the change of voice actor for Benn Beckman created criticism from some fans. The new Benn Beckman voice actor was not positively acclaimed, pointing out a flaw in the cast. Nevertheless, Sabo’s recasting appears to have dodged similar criticism. Fans look forward to hearing Irino’s interpretation of Sabo.
Sabo’s Return Ignites Hope Among One Piece Fans
One Piece fans are now feeling at ease as their beloved character Sabo has returned without a scratch. In an unexpected turn, he has survived the destruction of the Lulusia Kingdom. He had been in a very risky situation but managed to slip away with new Revolutionary Army recruits through a ship.
Sabo’s reappearance has brought vital facts about the events that emerged during the Reverie. He, who has been marked responsible for the death of King Cobra of Arabasta, now cleared his name from the false accusation. He has witnessed the workings of the World Government and its hidden powers.
As the Egghead Arc carry out to unfold, it seems that Sabo will play a crucial role in the next episode of One Piece. His direct witness to the events at Mary Geoise is sure to have a significant outcome for the series. Sabo taking center stage in the next episode is assured to stun the Revolutionary Army as well as the One Piece community.
One Piece is available to watch on Crunchyroll as of 18th Aug 2024.
