posted on by Ken Iikura-Gross
One Piece creator Eiichiro Oda posted comments about the second live-action season soon after the season's 2026 premiere announcement and first peek at Chopper on Sunday. Oda stated, “The key to Season 2 is, of course, our weird talking animal. After extensive trial and refinement by the entire team, the day has come to finally unveil him!!” Oda added, “From his form and furs to his expressions and voice, and even lighting and gravity simulation — a world-class team brought their skills together in bringing Tony Tony Chopper to life, and now he's ready to be introduced to the world!!”
Shortly after Oda's comments, the One Piece online spinoff project "Chopper's" released an image of Tony Tony Chopper watching himself in live-action:
