Let’s dream-cast the second season of One Piece on Netflix
Ian Chen as Tony Tony Chopper
Ian Chen, who stole hearts with his role in the popular series Fresh Off the Boat, is a name that fans are actively discussing when it comes to who would make the best Tony Tony Chopper in Netflix’s live-action One Piece show. Chen’s portrayal of Evan Huang had an innocence and charm that is essential to Chopper.
Tony Tony Chopper isn’t just a reindeer (although he is a reindeer, for those who didn’t know); he’s an important member of the Straw Hat crew, taking care of them as their doctor. Chopper’s character has depth; he goes from from a shy, often overlooked character to someone indispensable for Luffy and company.
Chopper’s character arc in One Piece is about finding one’s place in the world. His backstory is filled with moments of sadness, solitude and the pains and loneliness that comes from being an outcast, which resonates with many fans. This is where Ian Chen’s acting skills can shine. By casting Chen, fans would not only see Chopper’s physical journey, but would also feel his internal transformation and evolution.
In a universe as rich and diverse as One Piece, casting choices play a significant role in bringing the story to life. This dream lineup for these seven characters brings together a mix of seasoned veterans and rising stars. They would make season 2 entertaining, memorable, and faithful to its source material.
As we await official announcements, one can only hope that the casting and plot for season 2 is as exciting and fitting as we fans envision it.
