10 Anime Moments One Piece Season 2 Will Struggle To Replicate
The live-action One Piece is doing a great job of portraying the anime so far, but it is due to capture some anime moments that will be hard to adapt.
It was assumed that season 2 would conclude with an adaptation of the Arabasta Arc, due to it concluding several threads and introducing fan-favorite friends and foes. As such, Oda’s list of arcs that the new episodes will adapt is surprising, though the writer’s enthusiasm shows that his relationship with the streamer remains intact. In an age where viewers have become all too accustomed to stories being cut short despite their true potential, it is clear that One Piece is taking its time in bringing its world to life for a new audience.
