Super spoiler link. According to this article from What's On Netflix, casting recalls confirmed a few roles to expect including the wanted ethnicities.

A Hispanic or Latin Robin? That is an interesting direction since Oda said she's Russian. No recalls on Ace or Crocodile so maybe they found definitive actors already.

Hmm. Yeah, that's interesting. I always pictured Robin as North Asian, specifically, as far as Russia goes. Having the casting call for her be Hispanic is definitely a different direction. Though I'm glad to see North African casting for Vivi.

A large group in the fandom is pretty attatched to Robins tanned design in the pre-timeskip anime. Because of that did I kinda expect that they would not cast a white actress for her.

Though interesting that they went for latina specifically, maybe her using a bunch of Spanish in her attack names (mixed with French) influenced that choice.

The other casting calls are pretty much exatly what one would expect though. I'm pretty confident they will find great fits for everyone.

They could have gone with South Asian to preserve the anime tan. And yeah, maybe it is just that she uses Spanish in her attack names?

Find it weird Vivi asked to be Middle East/North african or South Asia because those varyingly large gaps in ethnic appearance.

Well I for one am for it. Oughta make things interesting, I should say. Oda's got an interesting pivoting style to him. Oda also had Luffy in mind as Brazillian, but hey, Iñaki would up proving to be such a wonderful fit that it would appear he is flexible. As long as the first priority is nailing these characters, I'm confident they'll have this in the bag.

I wonder if Robin will have blue or brown eyes. She has blue eyes in the Toei anime, but always had brown eyes in the manga.

So, we know the original plan in Season 1 was to give Hatchi a short scene where he bursts out of Arlong Park while they're fighting, fight Zoro and then lose, but they couldn't even give him that much screentime because his 6 arms would be too expensive.

I've heard suggestions for how to re-introduce Hatchi in season 2, since he ends up being pretty important in Sabaody and Fishman Island, but my favorite suggestion is to have him replace the Fishman fishmonger in Loguetown who sells Sanji the Elephant Bluefin Tuna. Have a scene where he mentions being part of Arlong's crew until he left a couple years ago, and Sanji gets mad at him for Nami's sake but he apologizes and says he left because he was bothered by the way they treated Nami. Something like that. And having Hatchi be a fishmonger would line up somewhat with his later job as a traveling takoyaki vendor.

I maybe thought Kuroobi would replace Hatchi’s place in Sabaody. Different dynamic but same role

I could see that, but a big part of Hatchi's appeal is his buffoonishness, and I don't see Kuroobi capturing that same energy. Then again, it would be interesting to see Kuroobi in Sabaody, scared shitless of the Celestial Dragons and having fun in an amusement park.

It's REALLY sad that they didnt feature Hatchi the whole Nami forgiving him was such a great angle that will be sadly missing from the show, and this would be the start of the character development that would lead Nami to forgiving Jinbe.

I always though that Robin really looked like Mayim Bialik, though she might be too old for the role now- though Robin's one character they could probably get away with aging up a bit

So, according to The Wrap, One Piece was the most watched show on Netflix in the second half of 2023.

(Forgive the double post.)

Sooooo... I got a spoilery question here: How do you think they're going to handle Nefeltari Vivi's Miss Wednesday disguise, prior to her coming clean as Princess Vivi? In canon, because Oda was originally just gonna make her an easily disposable Starter Villain for the saga, before suddenly getting the idea to write her as the big princess ally to help Luffy and them out... that change, consequently, is a rather jarring one, and I can't help but feel that with the Live Action show, they'd put a good deal more effort into foreshadowing that she's not really loyal to Baroque Works, maybe being a bit halfhearted in how she follows Mr. 9 along. And maybe she might even whisper under her breath about Baroque Works being full of shit. I dunno, I've been thinking about the storytelling potential they have with her.

I'd imagine more foreshadowing towards her being princess, but I would prefer her to ham it up as Miss Wednesday. Go full on Bad "Bad Acting" to highlight of how off she is as a Baroque Works agent.

I guess theyll make short if not multiple short scenes that would make Vivi’s real personality shine through to make it apparent something is more to her. Honestly, I liked her acting like an evil goon even though what she does in so against her personality. It makes her feel taking her disguise as absolute as it could, even immoral stuff she does to do so aside

I more wonder if theyll change her partner to being Igaram for the sake of streamlining

I think you could make it so that, rather than being an actual member, she's only an antagonist as part of some initiation, and she's still working her way into the group. Having her be a really bad wannabe pirate right from the get-go would help establish her as sympathetic to the audience, and make for a less jarring switch so early into the season—I can't imagine she'll be a "villain" for more than an episode or two.

Manga/Anime spoilers, for season 2 ahead.

I don't know. I've always liked the idea that Vivi has had to do some unfortunate things to keep her cover in Baroque Works. She's been in the organization for a couple years at this point, and isn't among the lowest rank agents, Millions or Billions. I don't think its very realistic for her to have never done dirty work.

Manga Spoiler Response, Still For Season 2: But even so (and I actually don't mind her having to do some dirty work), I still don't think she should particularly be seen as enthusiastic about it. As I stated prior, this is more about narrative cohesion, building up to the reveal that Miss Wednesday is Vivi, so I'm thinking that she could be seen, ready to cut all ties with Baroque Works, once it becomes clear Luffy's her answer to shutting them down.

Rumor alert! The following is an unconfirmed production rumor!

Brashaad Mayweather, the actor who plays Patty in the live action, seemingly let slip that seasons 2 and 3 are going to be filming back to back.

https://comicbook.com/anime/news/one-piece-netflix-season-3-rumor/

Filming seasons back to back would be one way to help deal with the actor's ages in the timeline of the series.

Of course, going forward, Patty isn't exactly a primary character - His actor was talking about hypothetical cuts or flashbacks back to the Baratie - so being mistaken on the matter is also a distinct possibility.
