With One Piece Season 2 wrapping up its production earlier this year, Netflix has been getting fans ready for what’s next with special behind the scenes looks at some of the new characters. This includes Ty Keogh’s Dalton, who appears during the Drum Island arc coming in the new season. With a special first look at his character, it’s also revealed that his Zoan form includes a real Bison head that we can’t wait to see in action in the coming season. Check it out below.
Who Is Dalton in One Piece Season 2?
Drum Island was confirmed to be one of the arcs from Eiichiro Oda’s original One Piece manga making its appearance in Season 2 of the live-action series, and Dalton is one of the key characters who debuts during this section. A member of the Royal Guard who serves under the villainous Wapol, Dalton himself has the ability of the Ox-Ox Devil Fruit. This power gives him the ability to transform into a Bison man that gives him boosted strength and speed. It’s a Zoan type fruit that gives him beast qualities, and it appears that part of the transformation includes a practically made head for the occasion as well.
Keogh himself teased the Drum Island set as well with, “I really enjoyed the Drum Island set, the outdoor set. A lot of detail. A lot of texture. But I would say the most grand set that I was in was Wapol’s throne room, which was just huge.” Keogh further teased how impressive Wapol’s actor was as well, “Rob Colletti was just magic.” As for how he describes Season 2, “Bigger than you’d expect.” But the wait for these new episodes continue as more and more updates come from behind the scenes.

What to Know for Netflix’s One Piece Season 2
One Piece has yet to reveal when Season 2 of the live-action series will be streaming with Netflix as of the time of this publication. Former showrunner Matt Owens has left the series to focus on his mental health, but it has yet to be revealed how that will be shaking up the production moving forward either. In a statement to fans back in 2024, Eiichiro Oda revealed that Netflix’s One Piece Season 2 would be tackling the Loguetown, Reverse Mountain, Whiskey Peak, Little Garden, and Drum Island arcs with its episodes.
That final arc includes characters like Dalton and Wapol, but most importantly of all, includes Tony Tony Chopper. This is the new member of the Straw Hat crew that will be officially making his introduction in Season 2 of Netflix’s One Piece, but very little has been revealed about this new debut thus far. Those behind the scenes are probably taking their time to make sure everything’s as perfect as it could be before fully revealing Chopper, so it might be much closer to its full release.
