Netflix’s One Piece Is Making a Clever Change to Vivi’s Design

by

As a seasoned One Piece gamer with over two decades of following this grand saga, I can confidently say that Netflix’s latest announcements have sent shockwaves through the Grand Line community. The revelation that Joe Manganiello and Lera Abova will bring Crocodile and Nico Robin to life is undeniably exciting, but it’s the subtle hint about Tony Tony Chopper that has me intrigued.

In recent times, Netflix has shared some major updates about “One Piece,” leaving Grand Line enthusiasts excited with the latest tidbits from Geeked Week. Not only have they unveiled Joe Manganiello as Crocodile and Lera Abova as Nico Robin, but they’ve also given a sneak peek at Tony Tony Chopper’s possible appearance. Earlier this year, Charithra Chandran was confirmed to play Princess Vivi. However, a recent backstage video has sparked curiosity among fans who think there might be a change in the character portraying King Cobra’s daughter.

Although Alabasta may not be heavily featured in the upcoming second season of “One Piece”, it doesn’t diminish Princess Vivi’s importance. As ardent Grand Line fans are aware, King Cobra’s daughter initially disguises herself as “Miss Wednesday” within Baroqueworks, a move aimed at safeguarding her endangered country. Despite not possessing any Devil Fruit abilities, Vivi’s strong character and resolve make her a valuable ally, both prior to and during Luffy’s time in Alabasta. A recent video from Netflix offers fans an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the production of season two, subtly hinting at a significant role for Vivi, as indicated by the “Vivi easter egg” mentioned by Jeff Ward.

Although it’s not yet officially confirmed, many One Piece fans online believe they have identified the new wig that Charithra will wear for the second season of One Piece. This wig appears significantly darker than Vivi’s hair seen in both the manga and anime, indicating that the live-action adaptation may be open to alterations from its original source material. During Netflix Geeked Week, showrunner Matt Owens was hesitant to reveal a release date for the second season, but filming is currently underway in South Africa as of this article’s publication.

Vivi In Season Two

In the second season of One Piece, if the series stays true to its source material, Princess Vivi won’t appear on her own. In the original manga and anime, she was accompanied by Karoo, an unusual protector who is a big, yellow bird. Known for fearlessly jumping into danger to safeguard Princess Vivi, this character hails from Alabasta. Although no details have been shared about how Karoo might appear in live-action, the sneak peek at Tony Tony Chopper suggests that CGI could bring this bird from Alabasta to life.

Although Alabasta may not have a significant presence in season two, viewers could catch a brief peek at its desert setting. By the end of season two, Vivi will have officially joined the Straw Hats, which suggests a substantial role for her in season three if Netflix renews the series. Despite parting ways with the Straw Hats after the Alabasta Arc, Vivi continues to be an important figure in the franchise throughout its ongoing storyline.

Alabasta’s Anime Predicament

In the last few episodes of “One Piece” anime, it has been disclosed that King Cobra has met his end. This revelation by the World Government leader Imu marked the impending doom for Alabasta’s ruler. However, contrary to what many in the Grand Line might think, Sabo was not the culprit behind this murder. Instead, the truth is much more complex and has left both Luffy’s brother and the resistance in a precarious predicament.
