As a long-time fan and connoisseur of anime voice acting, I can’t help but feel a sense of nostalgic excitement at the prospect of Toshio Furukawa reprising his iconic role as Ace in the upcoming One Piece reboot by Wit Studio and Netflix. With his extensive resume spanning across various genres and franchises, from Piccolo in Dragon Ball to Ataru in Urusei Yatsuru, Furukawa has undeniably left an indelible mark on the anime industry.
In its main anime series, One Piece has surpassed 1,100 episodes, but it’s not just Toei Animation that will be shaping the tales of the Straw Hat Pirates. Wit Studio, in collaboration with Netflix, is also set to reimagine the adventures of Monkey D. Luffy and his crew as they traverse the Grand Line to fulfill their dreams. Since Wit will delve into familiar territories from Eiichiro Oda’s manga, one actor is eager to resume his role in this fresh take. Voice actor Toshi Furukawa expresses his desire to reprise his character as Ace in One Piece.
If you’re not acquainted with Toshio Furukawa’s extensive contributions to the anime world, it’s worth noting that Ace isn’t his only character creation. He is arguably best known for voicing Piccolo in various Dragon Ball series such as Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball Super, and Dragon Ball GT, not to mention numerous other projects starring the powerful Namekian. Beyond Dragon Ball, Furukawa has lent his voice to characters like Ataru in Urusei Yatsuru, Asura in Soul Eater, Kai in Mobile Suit Gundam, and Suguru in Ultimate Muscle. Remarkably, despite such a vast portfolio, Toshio maintains a deep affection for the role of Ace.
Will Toshio Furukawa Return as Ace?
Lately, Furukawa participated in the anime event called Otakuthon, held in Montreal. In an interview at this convention, Furukawa expressed hope that he would be given the opportunity to voice the character Ace in the forthcoming One Piece reboot. Fans of the Straw Hats are aware that Toshio hasn’t had many chances to portray this character due to the shonen series’ narrative, but this could alter with the upcoming partnership between Wit and Netflix.
In the midst of crafting this piece, I find myself still brimming with curiosity about “The One Piece” universe. Though we’re aware that a fresh anime reboot is on the horizon, setting sail from the very beginning of this captivating franchise, us enthusiasts are yet to catch a glimpse of its voyage or learn which talented souls will breathe life into our beloved characters. There remains a glimmer of hope that the original voice cast might set sail once more for this exciting remake.
Curious about where the story of “One Piece” is headed next? Keep up-to-date with Team Anime at ComicBook for the newest insights into this fresh interpretation of the Straw Hat Pirates’ adventures.
