Unveiling the Identities of Season 2 Characters in One Piece on Netflix – Fans React!

Four-star cast

It is on X (formerly Twitter) that Netflix has just reveal the casting of some of the major antagonists of season 2 of its One Piece adaptation. This should narrate the events taking place between the Logue Town and Drum arcs, and will therefore logically feature the members of the criminal organization Baroque Works, one of them having already appeared in season 1. Thus, Mister 9, originally appearing upon the arrival of the Straw Hats on the Grand Line, will be played here by Daniel Lakser (Raised by Wolf).

He normally accompanies Vivi aka Miss Wednesday, who flees to the town of Whiskey Peak, a lair of bounty hunters in the pay of Baroque Works and which welcomes some of their members like Mister 5 and Miss Valentine. These will therefore be respectively interpreted by Camrus Johnson (Batwoman) and Jazzara Jaslyn (Professionals) and have already convinced fans of the manga. But the announcement that capsized the most hearts concerns Mister 3, main antagonist of the Little Garden arc, who will be played by David Dastmalchian, notably known for his role as Polka-Dot Man in The Suicide Squad and William Borden of Oppenheimer. This first glimpse of the casting delights and reassures One Piece fans who are now impatiently waiting for the release of this new season.

The character of Mister 3 had already been teased when Netflix broadcast a video of Iñaki Godoy – interpreter of Luffy – who, on the occasion of his character's birthday, blew out a candle in the shape of hair of the bad guy. Advanced reference since the latter, via his powers inherited from the Ciro-fruit, has the capacity to generate and model wax as he wishes. When he uses his abilities, the tip of his hair styled in a “3” ignites, like a candle, and the character almost destroyed Luffy's entire crew single-handedly.

Mister 3 being confirmed in the show, there's a good chance that Iñaki's crew will indeed pass through Little Garden. But since Oda himself has confirmed that Chopper will be present in the next episodes, and given the number of adventures that await the protagonists of the series, fans are already worried about the future story cuts that await the story. In fact, many events take place between the appearance of the recently cast characters and that of Chopper on Drum Island, which contributes to worrying fans of the original material. This new season is expected for 2025 and afiscionados.
