Netflix’s One Piece Live Action season 2 is already in its production phase. It has been a few months since the popular series was renewed for a second season. The live adaptation of Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece created a buzz in the air. The fans were excited and fearful due to Netflix’s past venture into the anime live adaptation genre.
However, the presence of Eiichiro Oda greatly helped the series reach its peak and became one of the best shows of 2023. Emily Rudd, who plays live-action Nami, is a massive fan of the anime, and it was a dream come true for her. She mentioned that she was in a long haul with One Piece Live Action. Emily Rudd mentioned that her favorite storyline was the Enies Lobby arc, and it might become a cause for upset among the fans.
Emily Rudd May Have Made The Fans Upset
Emily Rudd is one of the biggest fans of One Piece, present on the set of the live action. She being accustomed to the story made it easy for her to gracefully do her part. It is believed that the series might run for at least six seasons, and she is in for the long haul. On her Instagram stories, she said, “I am her and she is me as long as they let me amen.” She also mentioned that her favorite of the anime is the Enies Lobby arc.

But it might have made the fans upset since it won’t be until four to five seasons that the Enies Lobby arc will be adapted into a live-action. They will have to wait a long time before they can see Rudd living the best arc of her life. Enies Lobby is a long way from the Loguetown arc. Several new members would have already joined the Strawhats by then, and the plot would become more intense.
Even though Emily Rudd never intended to upset the One Piece fans, it looks like Enies Lobby reminded them of the long wait and the several years they had to wait to see Sogeking burn the World Government. Unfortunately, there is no medicine for this except for waiting.

More on One Piece Live Action
Netflix’s One Piece Live Action season 2 will have several new characters introduced. Eiichiro Oda hinted at Tony Tony Chopper’s entry in the upcoming season. It will be interesting to see how the story progresses and how fast the chapters are adapted into live-action. The executives mentioned that it would not be possible to uphold a 1000+ episode anime with every detail, but they will give it their best.
Season 1 was a glimpse of how well the story was written. The executives mentioned that season 2 is in progress and would take at least twelve to eighteen months before the season premieres. Emily Rudd might have made the fans upset by making them think how far the Enies Lobby arc is. But it looks like the fans are forgetting that One Piece Live Action season 2 is also farther than it looks.
One Piece Live Action is available on Netflix.
