The Streaming Giant Selects Perfect Actor for Mr. 2 in One Piece Season 3
The Secret Organization is set to play a huge role in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, even if the real showdown won’t take place until the third season, and a cherished, audience-beloved member has just been cast.
The streaming service revealed recently that the skilled actor will appear in the One Piece season 3 cast and will portray Bon Clay. Bon Clay has the ability to transform into an exact copy of any person they’ve touched with their main hand. The performer, who is identifies as non-binary and prefers they/them pronouns, will portray a interpretation of that role reimagined as non-binary identifying, rather than as a drag performer, in the real-life adaptation, as in the source material and anime.
The new cast member joins a number of fresh additions set to bring Baroque Works to reality, including leader the main antagonist, portrayed by the seasoned performer, a talented actress as Miss Goldenweek, and Sendhil Ramamurthy, who will appear as the cast as the ruler of the fictional land.
Though the role is a important part of the group, the individual won’t appear until One Piece the third season. With the second season set to cover the Little Garden arc, this marks a major departure in the placement of the character’s debut, one that could suggest additional alterations to the plot development.
Escola’s blend of excellent comedic sense and deep sensitivity makes them a standout choice for the role. Along with their current animated role in the youth-focused cartoon movie Boys Go to Jupiter, they garnered significant recognition and multiple awards for creating and performing in the successful stage production Oh Mary!, showcasing the range they’ll contribute to one of One Piece’s widely praised figures.
The streaming service’s real-life One Piece program is due to premiere for its next installment on March 10th, 2026.
