It's almost back to school for many French people. Some Netflix series are enjoying a little reprieve, like One Piece.

mistake avoided for season 2 of one piece on netflix
Manga, anime, live-action series, anime remake, One Piece is everywhere. And that's without mentioning video games, card games and other derivative products of all kinds. But what remains certain is that before 2025, Netflix subscribers will have to be patient if they want to discover the continuation of the live-action adventures of the Straw Hat Crew. The date is set for 2025, when new information about the said season 2 continues to reach us week after week.
This time, it is on the side of the YouTube channel of Nuxanor, a VTuber with more than 788,000 subscribers, that the information is shared. According to this friend of Matt Owens, the director of the One Piece series, Owens would have focused on the pace of the series and especially its season 2. According to the videographer, some Netflix executives wanted to shorten or even cut some of the arcs in season 2, so that the Straw Hats could reach Alabasta as quickly as possible.
An idea that Owens fought against, aligning himself with Eiichiro Oda's vision. One Piece is slow. Even though the pace has picked up over the years, it must be admitted that Oda is taking his time.And that's not a bad thing in itself, fans always enjoy discovering the master's new boards, and especially the new ideas imagined by the mangaka. Fortunately for Owens, and especially One Piece fans, Oda has the final say on all aspects of the series.
The mangaka has found an ally in Owens, even if adapting One Piece to live-action format still requires some sacrifices. For season 1, cult episodes like Zoro vs. Hatchi or Sanji vs. Kuroobi still had to be sacrificed. Nevertheless, fans are lining up to say that the series teams did a great job, let's hope that season 2 is of the same ilk, if not even better.
