One PieceLive Action has once again become the hot topic of discussion with the new announcements regarding season 2. What made the first season universally liked was the passion of everyone involved, the cast and crew alike. The respect they had for the series was matched up with their performances. With season 2 shaping up, fans are elated but so is the cast. It’s great to see that the enthusiasm of the cast, especially Emily Rudd, is still intact.

Recently, Oda made an announcement about the particulars of season 2. This announcement was accompanied with a special gift for the original cast of the live-action. Rudd never misses a chance to express her love for the series, and seeing the gift from Oda brought a priceless reaction out of her.

Oda’s Gift to the One Piece Live-Action Cast

Along with a message for fans about the specifics of what the live-action season 2 will cover, Oda drew the Strawhats as well and the drawings resembled the characters as well as the actors that played them.

‘Goda’ is a nickname given toEiichiro Odaby his fans for his god-like storytelling prowess. Over time, the nickname has become a famous meme in the fandom. Given that, Rudd’s reaction is extremely heartwarming. She had her perfect fan moment. Before the role of Nami, she has been aOne Piecefan for quite some time. Following a mangaka and admiring their work for years, only for them to draw you as one of his character, is a dream come true for any fan.

Furthermore, her excitement is not limited to her role as Nami. The way she interacts with the other posts about the live-action screams that she’s just like any otherOne Piecefan. She reacted to the news ofCharithra Chandran’s casting as Vivion X, saying that even though Chandran is playing a villain, there’s something special about her. It was probably referring to Vivi’s transformation from Miss Wednesday to a precious comrade.

Rudd referring to the mangaka in that way is a reminder of how the actress has been following the series for a while. She’s a part of the fandom and now gets to live the dream by meeting Oda and interacting with him. Fans were extremely happy for Rudd and even congratulated her.
