One Piece S2: Garp & Roger's Secret Child Revealed Early!
28 Feb
Summary
- The live-action series' second season opener features a flashback.
- This flashback shows Gold Roger revealing he has a child.
- The child revealed is Luffy's brother, Ace, to Garp.
The highly anticipated second season of Netflix's live-action One Piece is set to premiere in 2026, with early screenings revealing a significant plot development. The first episode features an unexpected flashback scene between Vice Admiral Garp and the late Pirate King, Gold Roger.
During this early flashback, Gold Roger discloses to Garp that he has a child. This revelation, which occurs in episode 460 of the anime, is presented much earlier in the live-action adaptation. The child in question is revealed to be Ace, who is also known as Luffy's brother, though not by blood.
This early reveal of Ace's parentage is a substantial deviation from the manga and anime timelines. In the original series, Ace's connection to Gold Roger is disclosed much later, during the Marineford arc. The live-action series' decision to present this information so early may indicate a strategic alteration of the narrative's pacing.
