Netflix\u2019s One Piece<\/a> Season 2 recently released a new trailer one month ahead of the highly anticipated release, adding to the excitement. However, the latest trailer omits a majorly anticipated character, raising concerns about their appearance in the new season. Season 2 is set to dive deeper into the Straw Hats\u2019 journey into the Grand Line, showcasing the perilous adventure that awaits them. The new trailer highlights this direction, introducing new characters who will have a significant impact on the Straw Hats.<\/p>\n

Among these characters, one group in particular is set to play a major role: the Baroque Works organization<\/a>, which will serve as key antagonists as the Straw Hats navigate the Grand Line. The new trailer introduces nearly all the major members of this syndicate and hints at their involvement in the season. However, it notably excludes the syndicate\u2019s most prominent member, its boss, Mr. 0, also known as Crocodile. His casting has already been revealed, and fans were highly anticipating a first proper look, so his omission has raised concerns about whether he will even appear in the season.<\/p>\n

One Piece Season 2\u2019s New Trailer Misses a Prominent Character<\/p>\n

Netflix announced that Joe Manganiello would be portraying one of the series\u2019 most prominent villains, Crocodile<\/a>, also known as Mr. 0, back in September 2024. Since this announcement came so early, Crocodile\u2019s inclusion in Season 2 felt inevitable. As promotions for new characters gradually increased, concealing his first look seemed like a deliberate marketing strategy, with the expectation that he would be unveiled closer to the season\u2019s release. Given that this new trailer dropped so close to the premiere, many expected Crocodile to appear, confirming his presence and possibly hinting at a larger role.<\/p>\n

However, his omission from the latest trailer suggests that Crocodile may have a very minimal role in the upcoming season, if he appears at all. It\u2019s possible his introduction will mirror Smoker\u2019s brief reveal at the end of One Piece Season 1<\/a>, teasing him as the mastermind behind Baroque Works. This interpretation is supported by the fact that a promo image released before the trailer did include Crocodile<\/a>, showing him from behind on the poster.<\/p>\n

While it\u2019s disappointing that Crocodile may not play a major part in the upcoming season, keeping his full reveal for later could indicate that the live-action series is taking its time to faithfully adapt the source material. Unfortunately, fans hoping to see Crocodile in action in Netflix\u2019s One Piece Season 2 may now have to wait until Season 3, which could still be a couple of years away.<\/p>\n
