Netflix has just teased One Piece fans with an exciting first look at Tony Tony Chopper in the live-action adaptation, set to appear in Season 2. The beloved Straw Hat Pirates’ doctor, known for his adorable yet powerful presence, was revealed briefly in a separate clip at the end of a behind-the-scenes video shared during Netflix’s #GeekedWeek.
In the video, Iñaki Godoy (Monkey D. Luffy) gives fans a “V.I.P. (Very Important Pirate)” tour of the set, offering a glimpse into the cast’s table reading for Season 2. As the behind-the-scenes footage wraps up, a short separate clip appears showing Chopper from behind, showcasing his signature antlers and head movement. The brief moment strongly suggests that the character will be CGI, capturing Chopper’s unique blend of cuteness and fantastical abilities.
Tony Tony Chopper Joins the Straw Hat Crew
Tony Tony Chopper is one of the most beloved characters in One Piece, and fans have been eagerly anticipating how the live-action adaptation will bring him to life. In the original anime and manga, Chopper is a reindeer who ate the Human-Human Fruit, granting him the ability to transform into different forms, from his adorable “Brain Point” to his terrifying “Monster Point.”
Given the nature of Chopper’s design and abilities, his live-action portrayal will likely rely heavily on CGI. Fans are already buzzing with excitement, speculating how Netflix will handle the transition from anime to live-action, especially given the adaptation’s careful attention to character detail so far.
As anticipation builds for Tony Tony Chopper’s debut in Netflix’s live-action One Piece, fans have been creating a wave of hilarious memes. From exaggerated reactions to Chopper’s adorably fierce transformations, the meme landscape has been bursting with creativity. Expect to see captions like “When you’re the cutest doctor in the Grand Line but still ready to throw hands!” paired with screenshots of his signature expressions. However, with Chopper’s first look now revealed, it feels like we have to say goodbye to the meme-making frenzy—at least until we see how he comes to life in the show! Whether it’s his “Brain Point” cuteness or the sheer chaos of “Monster Point,” Chopper’s charm has definitely left a mark on meme culture, and we’ll be watching closely as his adventures unfold on screen!
