I Think One Piece May Have Just Handled The Mr. 0 Twist Better Than The Anime

Joe Manganiello as Crocdile in the One Piece Season 2 finale, with gold hook on his left hand and a cigar in his right hand.

Warning: SPOILERS for One Piece Season 2 are ahead!

One Piece Season 2 premiered on the 2026 TV schedule last week, and while there were a lot of new antagonists introduced to give the Straw Hat Pirates trouble, the biggest of them all was barely present. Joe Manganiello’s Mr. 0, the leader of Baroque Works, is only seen twice in Season 2: first from the shadows during “Wax Off, Wax Off,” and then in full during the final moments of the Season 2 finale, titled “Deer and Loathing in Drum Kingdom.” With that full look came a major reveal, and after watching the new One Piece season with my Netflix subscription, I think the live-action series handled the Mr. 0 twist better than the original manga or anime did.
