Spilling the beans on what One Piece season 2 will be about, showrunner Matt Owens said: “When the Season 2 writers’ room got together, we knew how far we were going to get and that this character Dr. Kureha was going to be a big part of the season.”
“Oda told everyone we’ll be meeting Chopper in Season 2,” he added.
“The place that we were talking about all of Season 1, we’re in it now,” he added of the Grand Line.
