'One Piece' has promised that Alabasta's favorite character will arrive in season 3

The wait for the second season of the live-action One Piece is generating great anticipation among fans, especially after the inclusion of such an iconic character as Princess Vivi. The casting has been well received, and many consider the choice to be spot on. However, the absence of her iconic pet, Karoo, has left some followers disappointed.

Let’s save Alabasta!

In an interview with IGN, the series writer, Joe Tracz, revealed that Karoo, Vivi’s super duck, was originally intended to appear in this installment. However, the final decision was not to include him, as bringing a two-meter duck would not help the princess remain inconspicuous in her role as a disguise. Despite his absence, Tracz emphasized the importance of Karoo as an essential comedic element for the plot, especially in the Arabasta arc, where his dynamic with other characters like Chopper provides significant comic relief.

The absence of Karoo this season also raises speculations about his possible return in the third installment of the series, scheduled to be released on Netflix in 2027. Many fans are eager to see the duck in action, as his presence not only enriches the narrative, but could also play a key role in the marketing strategy for the upcoming season. With his charisma and popularity, including Karoo could open the door to a new line of merchandise that would surely capture the interest of fans of all ages.

The second season of One Piece promises to offer new adventures and memorable characters, but the anticipation for Karoo persists, and fans hope that his inclusion, if it doesn’t happen in this installment, will come in the future. In the meantime, the community remains excited about what is to come.
