The 2nd season of the live action adaptation of One Piece is getting closer. However, it was still not unveiled how reindeer chopper will look in the series. The actor of Zorro gives a gratifying update.
What does the actor reveal about chopper? In an interview with Variety, Mackenyu was asked what he can reveal to the 2nd season of One Piece. The actor embodies Zorro in the live action series, the swordsman of the straw hat gang.
Mackenyu thinks directly of a fellow actor who has left a lasting impression. He reveals:
I try not to reveal anything, but a lot of new figures come out. We will cover the action sheet-Oda-Sensei-until Chopper comes out. And I met chopper! He was the sweetest! Oh, my god, I’m a chopper fan.
He adds that he was crazy to be able to act at his side. For Mackenyu, the experience was something special that he could take home with him. This could indicate that Chopper is embodied by a person who has not yet existed on the set – for example a child.

Chopper is a big secret of One Piece
Why is Chopper so special? In the series, Chopper is a reindeer that has eaten from human-human fruit. This can go on two legs and speak to people. For a live action version, the question remained open how the human reindeer is shown in the series.
Thanks to an employee of the series, we already know that Chopper is embodied by a person (via GamePro). In addition, CGI effects are to be used, for example, fur or the animations of the ears.
It is also clear who chopper acts in his “Heavy Point” version. Chopper grows into an adult size and becomes stronger, which is why it is embodied by an adult actor.
However, it remains a big mystery on what the little chopper will look like in his children’s form. Therefore, fans are excited to finally see what the small reindeer with the mix of actors and CGI effects will look like.
What about the 2nd season? The filming of the 2nd season has now been completed. There is still no fixed release date, but it has already been unveiled that the series will start in the course of 2025. The series runs exclusively on Netflix.
EIICHIRO ODA, the creator of the manga by One Piece, wakes up over the rotation with anxious eye. For example, he was involved in the selection of the actors. In the middle of the shooting he also visited the set and convinced himself what the actor does for a great work: The creator of One Piece visits the set for the series on Netflix, shares pictures of the set
