Behind the Scenes of One Piece Season 2 Filming

The most attentive fans may be able to unmask some hidden Easter eggs.

The live-action adaptation of the famous Japanese manga was a big surprise last year, becoming one of the most-watched productions in 2023 on Netflix. So it's impossible to escape a season two for One Piece and its cult character, Monkey D. Luffy, a perched pirate, played by the Mexican actor Inaki Godoy. Filming began a few months ago, and the entire team – Mackenyu (Zoro), Emily Rudd (Nami), Jacob Romero (Usopp) and Taz Skylar (Sanji) – celebrated his reunion in style.

Across the set and the different departments, the actor gives us a tour of the owner. Fans can discover the men and women behind the costumes, accessories, sets (the Twins' Cape, the Kingdom of Drum), and the makeup of the characters, and hope to briefly catch a glimpse of a few easter eggs from season 2. But for that, you'll have to have a sharp eye, because most of them are already blurred to avoid any spoilers. Can you spot them?

The first season adapted chapters 1 to 95. The Straw Hat team takes their first adventure to The Road of All Perils – a name that does not bode well for them…
