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.

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.
