What happens in the first trailer?
Spoilers for One Piece Seasons 1 and 2 follow.
The trailer shows Usopp explaining the Straw Hats’ greatest adventures to Chopper before the young reindeer officially joined the crew. However, Usopp’s version of the story gives him a much bigger role in almost every important event.
He claims that he defeated powerful enemies such as Arlong and Alvida and even suggests that searching for the One Piece was originally his idea. The trailer also includes LEGO versions of familiar ships, locations and characters, including a brief look at Dracule Mihawk.
This storytelling approach allows the special to revisit major moments from the first two live-action seasons while adding the exaggerated humour commonly associated with Usopp.
Season 1 followed Luffy as he recruited Zoro, Nami, Usopp and Sanji before confronting Arlong and freeing Cocoyasi Village. Season 2 took the crew into the Grand Line, where they encountered Captain Smoker, Dr. Kureha, Chopper and members of the Baroque Works organisation.
Major cast additions confirmed
The entire live-action Straw Hat crew will return, including Iñaki Godoy as Luffy, Emily Rudd as Nami, Mackenyu as Zoro, Jacob Romero as Usopp and Taz Skylar as Sanji. Mikaela Hoover will once again voice Chopper.
Netflix has also expanded the cast with several returning characters and Season 2 favourites:
- Jeff Ward as Buggy the Clown
- Katey Sagal as Dr. Kureha
- Callum Kerr as Captain Smoker
- Charithra Chandran as Miss Wednesday and Nefertari Vivi
The new trailer suggests that LEGO One Piece will work as both a funny recap for existing fans and a simple introduction for viewers who have not watched the complete live-action series.
LEGO One Piece arrives on Netflix on September 29. Which exaggerated version of the Straw Hats’ adventures are you hoping to see? Let us know in the comments.
