Summary
Zoro will face a major new opponent, Mr. 1, in One Piece season 2.
Zoro's insult to Mr. 7 foreshadows his upcoming duel with Mr. 1.
Netflix's adaptation of One Piece faces a challenge in portraying the intense battle between Zoro and Mr. 1.
Zoro's upcoming rival in One Piece season 2 is hinted at by a witty insult in Netflix's live-action series. Despite the challenges of adapting unique powers and sword techniques, Netflix's adaptation of One Piece maintains its thrilling action, with Mackenyu's Roronoa Zoro standing out as a formidable fighter in season 1. In the first eight episodes, Zoro takes on Mr. 7 from Baroque Works, the powerful Dracule Mihawk, and various fish-men from the Arlong Pirates, showcasing his impressive three-sword style.
However, these battles may pale in comparison to the fight Zoro will face in One Piece season 2. With the show's continued success on Netflix, it is highly likely that Zoro's enemy will be Baroque Works' leader, Crocodile, and his group of shady criminals. Interestingly, a line spoken by Mackenyu's Zoro in season 1 offers a clever hint at the future duel between Zoro and the Baroque Works member.
One Piece Foreshadows Zoro Vs. Mr. 1 For Season 2
In episode 1 of One Piece, Roronoa Zoro has a confrontation with Mr. 7, who becomes upset when Zoro refuses a Baroque Works membership t-shirt. Zoro easily wins the fight and delivers a humorous insult before defeating his opponent. Zoro notices that "Mr. 7" is tattooed on his face and responds by raising his middle finger and jokingly saying, "My favorite is number one." This line has a double meaning: it is a crude gesture on the surface, but it also foreshadows Zoro's upcoming battle with Mr. 1 in season 2 of One Piece.
As the Straw Hat crew ventures further into the Grand Line in One Piece, Baroque Works becomes more prominent. Each member of the crew faces off against a high-ranking Baroque Works member. Roronoa Zoro's individual duel is against Crocodile's right-hand man, known as "Mr. 1." Therefore, Zoro's line, "my favorite is number one," in Netflix's One Piece has a dual significance. It is a humorous insult directed at Mr. 7, implying that he is no match for Zoro. Additionally, it hints at Zoro's upcoming battle with his true Baroque Works opponent, Mr. 1, in season 2 of One Piece.
Zoro Vs. Mr. 1 Creates A Challenge For Netflix's One Piece Season 2
Zoro's live-action fights against Dracule Mihawk and Cabaji demonstrate his impressive anime swordsmanship. However, the Netflix series faces a daunting task in setting up the battle between Zoro and Mr. 1 in One Piece season 2. In season 1, Zoro easily defeats his opponents, except for Mihawk, who is significantly stronger than him. The clash with Mr. 1, on the other hand, is more evenly matched, demanding a longer and much more intense live-action battle.
Furthermore, Mr. 1's ability to create blades from his body parts, thanks to the One Piece Devil Fruit power, presents a major visual challenge for the live-action adaptation. Zoro will have to face an opponent whose arms and legs are literal weapons. Overcoming Mr. 1 will mark a significant increase in difficulty compared to Zoro's previous fights as the first mate of the Straw Hat crew. To effectively convey this escalation, the Netflix adaptation must raise the bar in terms of stunts, visuals, and overall scope, surpassing the battles seen in One Piece season 1.
One Piece is currently streaming on Netflix.
