Netflix just confirmed that one piece of manga will take longer to catch up than we thought

Summary

• Season 2 of One Piece will end on Drum Island, saving Arabasta for a potential season 3.
• The decision not to rush the arcs suggests a slower live action pace than expected.
• Netflix's One Piece will need several seasons to cover the manga's expansive story.

The latest version of Netflix One Piece update confirms that the live show will take longer than we thought to cover Eiichiro Oda's manga. while One Piece Season 2 was announced shortly after the release of the first season, with no significant updates on what arcs it would cover. Several cast members were recently announced, with other major characters expected to be revealed this week. Netflix plans One Pieces future is now clearerbut I was surprised by the route the live series took.

One of Netflix's most watched shows of 2023, One Piece Hollywood's live-action anime adaptation broke the curse and introduced fantastic versions of Monkey D. Luffy and friends. Apart from some changes, One Piece live-action was a very faithful adaptation that managed to please anime fans and new viewers alike. It's safe to say considering the manga and anime only got better after East Blue One Piece Season 2 has the potential to be even better than the first season. He said, I am surprised by this Season 2 will not include the Arabasta arc.

Saving Arabasta for One Piece Season 3 means it will move slower than we thought

One Piece Season 2 Stops at Drum Island

One Piece Author Eiichiro Oda, who also serves as an executive producer on the Netflix show, recently shared an open letter to fans expressing his excitement for season 2 and revealing what arcs it will cover. According to the room, One Piece Season 2 includes Loguetown, Reverse Mountain, Whiskey Peak, Little Garden, and Drum Island. In other words, Arabasta will not be included in the 2nd season. One Piece Saving the final arc of the Chariot saga for a potential season 3 is surprising, especially given how long it is One Piece does.

Although the Chariot saga is quite complex and involves many characters and locations, I assumed that the live show would squeeze it into eight episodes, as it did with Eastern Blue. I guess so One Pieces producers believe The Chariot arc takes more than a few episodesin which case it should have been saved for another season. It is not clear if there is potential One Piece Season 3 will only be about Arabasta Kingdom or if it will lead to Sky Island as well.

One Piece
Season 1 did not include Loguetown, which is now confirmed for season 2.

Anyway, One Piece Arabasta not ending in season 2 means the live show may have a slower pace more than most people imagine. With this in mind One Piece With over 1100 manga chapters, I was ready for a live show to go through some arcs and cover as many storylines as possible in a season. However, One Piece The fact that it only covers half of the Arabasta saga in season 2 shows that this is not the strategy they are going for. Only going from Loguetown to Drum Island in season 2 will allow the series to take more time in each arc.

I worry that One Piece Live-Action will take too long to reach the best arcs of Anime

It will take a few years to get to Enies Lobby at this rate

I have a disagreement about Oda One Piece Season 2 update. On the one hand, One Piece not rushing through the manga's arcs and taking their time is great news for Arabast – it confirms that they're focused on the quality of the show, no matter how many seasons it needs. On the other hand, it can be frustrating to imagine how many years it will take One Piece to cover the rest of the story. I didn't expect it at all One Piece live action that will cover the entire mangabut more realistic goals now seem elusive.

Even if Oda makes a decision
One Piece
today the live show would still have a thousand chapters left to cover.

For example, assuming One Piece Season 3 will be a war for Arabasta Kingdom, Sky Island season 4 will take place. While some may wrongly perceive Sky Island as skippable, it's fascinating. One Piece arc that could do very well for an entire season. This will leave Water 7 for season 5With Enies Lobby maybe only happening in potential season 6. While these are nothing more than predictions based on the structure of the manga and the pacing of the live show, it shows how difficult Netflix is. One Pieceis the future of

One Piece Live Action Covering The Entire Story Would Never Begin

One Piece Will Have To Be Smart In Deciding What To Cover

While saving on Chariot for Season 3 One Piece's future was more complex than the live show was ever expected to cover the entire story. It should be noted that One Piece is still ongoing, with new chapters and episodes coming out every year. But one can come to such a conclusion in Oda One Piece today the live show would still have a thousand chapters left to cover. It's practically impossible to do something like that for a live show that can only run for so many seasons, no matter how successful it is.

Netflix's to put things into perspective Cobra Kai ends after six seasons. Likewise, Stranger ThingsOne of Netflix's flagship games for years, it will soon conclude with its fifth season. Grace and Frankie It closed on Netflix in 2022 with seven seasons and remains the longest-running original show on the platform. in an interview with Deadline, One Piece producers Marty Adelstein and Becky Clements have indicated that they hope for 12 seasons, noting that they have plenty of material to use for years and years to come.

Even Netflix's Greatest Hits can only run for so many seasons

Usage Cobra Kai and Stranger Things as parameters, One Piece a run of at least six seasons would be ideal. This would allow the show to potentially include Water 7 and Enies Lobby, which would be a fantastic way to wrap up the live action adaptation. Of course, this would mean that Luffy's story would be left unfinished, but the show could still find a way for a satisfying ending. said that I hope Netflix's One Piece at least it can cover everything that happened before the time jump. Finishing the series in Impedown and Marineford will do.

It would be for another option One Piece finally starting to merge the main sagas into one and even change big aspects of the story so that it all fits into a reasonable number of seasons. While risky, this could be an interesting way to make sure the live-action show can still have a satisfying ending that honors the manga in some way. It is difficult to predict what the future holds One Piece will be like live action, but Oda's direct involvement in the project makes me believe that even the most surprising creative decisions will be worth it.
