The fans of One Piece were just waiting for this, Netflix did it. He will still have to wait until the last day of Netflix's Geeked Week 2024 to get the long-awaited first glimpse of Tony Tony Chopper, a cult character from the universe of One Piece. Eiichiro Oda imagined the design last October, while Netflix has just revealed the first images. Unfortunately for the most curious, only its antennas are visible.

In the teaser, it is Inaki Godoy, the actor who plays Luffy in the series, who presents Chopper, but part of his face is masked. The reindeer was invited to participate in the reading of season 2 of One Piece, but he is unfortunately a little too small to clear the table in front of him. A Chopper presented here in computer-generated images, which could still differ from the final design. And for good reason, Chopper has several forms.

It remains to be seen how Netflix will manage to juggle all that. For the moment, we do not know who will play Chopper in this Netflix One Piece series, nor if motion capture will be used to bring the doctor to life.
