Netflix’s One Piece Showrunner Teases Live-Action Show’s Easter Eggs

One Piece is currently gearing up for its live action debut with Netflix, and one of the executives behind the upcoming series is teasing fans that they should keep a look out for Easter Eggs hidden in the new adaptation! While there is currently no set release window or date for Netflix’s upcoming live-action series for Eiichiro Oda’s long running manga franchise, it’s clear that progress on the series is moving forward not only has much of the cast wrapped filming, but those behind the scenes are ready for fans to check out the new take as well.

Showrunner and executive producer on Netflix’s live-action One Piece series, Matt Owens, has been pretty vocal about the production of the series with fans over the last few years but recently got to tease more about it than ever. Speaking with Nux Taku on YouTube about the upcoming live-action adaptation, Owens revealed that fans will need to keep their eyes peeled for some of the Easter Eggs that tease some major huge events in the series. 

How to Watch for Easter Eggs in Netflix’s One Piece 

“Pay f–king attention. Because the Easter Eggs…,” Owens began speaking about what he was excited to tease about the upcoming live-action One Piece series. “Look at everything we know about the One Piece world now versus when the East Blue saga was being done. Watch for Easter Eggs. Pay attention to any wanted poster, newspaper, even just bits of [dialogue]. Pay attention. Pause things, screenshot, that’s gonna be really fun.” So it seems like there will be some bits that even the manga wasn’t able to tease just yet.

It’s yet to be revealed whether or not Netflix will have further plans for One Piece’s live-action run following the debut season taking on the East Blue saga. But if the series does get picked up for a second season, at least those behind the series are ready for what’s next by planting seeds here with events fans find out about much later than actually tie back into East Blue’s characters.
