Kapanlagi.com - After the huge success of ONE PIECE LIVE ACTION season one, NETFLIX has confirmed that the second season will be coming soon. This news has certainly been met with enthusiasm by fans around the world.
However, this enthusiasm was somewhat marred by debates on social media. One of the triggers for the debate was the casting of the character Nefertari Vivi, known in the anime version as Miss Wednesday.
Actress Charithra Chandran, who plays Vivi in the LIVE ACTION version, faced criticism from some netizens for not fitting the anime version. This then sparked reactions from the cast of ONE PIECE LIVE ACTION, including Emily Rudd who plays Nami, and Rob Colletti who plays Wapol. Check out the full explanation below.

In the second season of ONE PIECE LIVE ACTION, the character Vivi will appear for the first time. This role has been entrusted to Charithra Chandran.
Since the announcement, comments have emerged from some netizens who believe Chandran's appearance is too different from the anime version. The character Vivi in the anime is depicted as having white skin, while Chandran has dark skin.
Emily Rudd did not remain silent in response to the criticism. Through a post on Instagram, she emphasized that the differences between the anime version and LIVE ACTION cannot be used as an excuse to spew hate speech or racist comments.
“Perceived ‘canon’ does not excuse blatant racism, or hate of any kind,” Emily wrote in her post. This statement immediately caught the attention of fans following the developments of ONE PIECE LIVE ACTION.

Emily also conveyed that diversity is at the core of the story of ONE PIECE. According to her, the differences between the anime and LIVE ACTION versions actually enrich the viewing experience.
"I am beyond proud of our show, our cast, and the opportunity we have to bring to life a story centered around a diverse found family — by an equally diverse found family," she stated. She expressed pride in being involved in a series that promotes diversity.
Before Emily, Rob Colletti also showed support for Charithra Chandran. In his Instagram post, Rob revealed that Charithra was handpicked by the creator of ONE PIECE, Eiichiro Oda.
"Charithra was hand-selected by Oda, and he has far more knowledge and understanding of his own characters than anyone else, particularly the hateful, unimaginative creeps who actually have the audacity to get on the internet to throw hate speech towards an actor without even seeing their absolutely amazing performance on the show," wrote Rob.
