One Piece live-action series by Netflix is gearing up for season 2. With the series following the next storyline after the East Blue saga, fans eagerly await some kind of update on the upcoming season of the live-action adaptation of Eiichiro Oda’s masterpiece. The only thing known about the second season is that according to the One Piece manga, it will cover the Alabasta saga.
The Alabasta Saga holds great importance for the future storyline of One Piece as it introduces major characters who have roles even after the Alabasta Saga ends. One such character is Nico Robin, the archaeologist of the Straw Hat Pirates. However, she is introduced in the story as Miss All Sunday, a member of the Baroque Works criminal organization.
One Piece live-action has revealed the past of almost all the Straw Hat crewmates who joined the crew in the first season itself, but they can’t repeat the same mistake with Nico Robin. Nico Robin’s past holds great importance for the future of the series, and if the creators of the live-action bring it out early on, it will surely ruin the future of Netflix’s first-ever successful live-action adaptation.
One Piece Live-Action Season 2 Cannot Reveal Nico Robin’s Past
Nico Robin is going to be one of the biggest additions to the One Piece live-action universe in season two. Though she starts the series as a villain with an enigmatic past, Robin eventually accompanies the Straw Hat Pirates on their quest to locate the One Piece treasure and becomes a major character in the One Piece storyline.
If the live-action series follows the manga’s events, Nico Robin will make several appearances in the second season, but her backstory will not be revealed or discussed. This is because her backstory is more thoroughly examined throughout the Water 7 arc, which, if going according to the timeline, will appear in the fourth season of One Piece live-action.
As a result, if One Piece live-action continues to explore the Straw Hat crewmate’s background, it will significantly harm the series’ future. Her mysterious background is what drives the storyline of Enies Lobby and Water 7, and thus, it needs to be kept that way for the live-action series too.
The Importance of Nico Robin’s Background For The Future of One Piece Live-Action
As previously stated, revealing Nico Robin’s origin story too early would spoil not just her introduction but also Water 7, one of One Piece’s most exciting arcs. The disclosure of Robin’s past is the most fascinating plot point among all the incredible characters and themes that are introduced in Water 7.
If One Piece season 2 discloses Robin’s past soon after introducing the character, scenes like Luffy declaring war on the World Government during the Enies Lobby arc will be less impactful than they were in the manga. Not only that, Robin’s hidden background also adds a mysterious element to her character in the Alabasta Saga.
One Piece live-action season 2 is bound to be as successful as its first season because it will introduce one of the most important storylines in the series in the form of the Alabasta Saga. Introducing Robin’s past might somewhat help in making the second season more interesting, but it will surely affect the future storyline of the live-action series and become the reason for its downfall.
