One Piece Debuts New Franky Voice Actor With Anime’s Return

by

After a significant break, One Piece has resumed its fast pace with the anime’s comeback and the debut of a new voice actor for Franky in this fresh era. The One Piece: Egghead Arc concluded Part 1 of the series last Fall, and it was revealed shortly after that the series would take a six-month hiatus to allow the production team to ready themselves for what lay ahead. However, there were also significant alterations backstage as one of the Straw Hats decided to retire.

In the anime series “One Piece”, the character voice actor for Kazuki Yao’s character, Franky, has announced his retirement and a new voice actor was introduced to take over the role. With fresh episodes of the show airing again, this new voice actor made his debut as Franky in the recent broadcast. Although he only had one spoken line in his first appearance, fans can now listen to the new voice for Franky online. This change has been highlighted by excited “One Piece” fans across social media platforms.

Who Is One Piece’s New Franky Voice Actor?

I recently had the pleasure of witnessing the return of One Piece after a six-month hiatus, as Episode 1123 marked the beginning of Part 2 of the Egghead Arc. The episode not only rekindled the tension surrounding Luffy and the Straw Hats’ predicament on Dr. Vegapunk’s Future Island laboratory but also hinted at even more significant events to come. The Straw Hats are gearing up for another showdown with the world, but this time around, they have a fresh voice actor bringing Franky to life, adding an exciting new dimension to their adventures.

In a recent development, Ryoma Terasaka, who is known as Subaru Kimura in “Assassination Classroom” and Ku in “Boruto: Naruto Next Generations”, has assumed the role of Franky from Kazuki Yao. He made his first appearance in the latest episode. Due to the limited lines he got in this episode, it’s challenging to evaluate Terasaka’s performance as Franky, but some viewers have already detected a shift in the delivery between the two actors. However, it remains to be seen how their interpretations of Franky will compare when we hear more of his iconic catchphrases and notable scenes.

What’s New for One Piece?

With One Piece now entering its second phase of the Egghead Arc, the anime is once more in high gear, faithfully adapting the first significant arc of Oda’s Final Saga based on his original manga series. This storyline has already unveiled key plot points like Dr. Vegapunk and his intention to announce crucial information worldwide, but there’s much more to come as Luffy and the Straw Hats brace themselves for a confrontation with an impending Marine fleet.

Fans of the One Piece series have eagerly anticipated the return of new episodes after a six-month hiatus, and based on what’s been unveiled so far, it seems that the wait will be worthwhile. The addition of a new Franky voice actor adds to the excitement as we gear up for the real battles against Egghead. We’re just getting started, so let’s see where this adventure leads us in the coming months.
