On February 11, 2026, the official Netflix One Piece account thrilled fans worldwide by unexpectedly releasing detailed character images from Drum Island. After a long focus on the Baroque Works arc, the most emotional story arc for fans has finally been unveiled.
The new images not only showcase the key characters’ appearances but also reveal the iconic snowy atmosphere of Drum Island.
Let’s take a closer look at how Netflix has brought these characters to life!
1. Tony Tony Chopper: A World-Class CGI Masterpiece
All eyes are on the Straw Hat crew’s adorable doctor, Chopper. These latest images erase any doubts about how a talking reindeer would look in live action.
Netflix features Chopper in three different shots: one standing in the snowy landscape, another peeking out from behind a table (in his classic hiding style), and a particularly touching HD image of Chopper sitting with Dr. Hiriluk by the sea under a full moon.
The CGI design is highly expressive, maintaining Chopper’s lovable charm while looking realistic. The big question now is how intense the Rumble Ball transformations will be.
2. Wapol: A Villain Cooler Than the Original?
Rob Colletti’s portrayal of King Wapol has sparked lively discussions. On the official fan page, many fans commented, “This version looks even cooler than the original.”
While Wapol appeared somewhat ridiculous and goofy in the manga, the live-action version feels genuinely threatening. His armor-like outfit and heavily weaponized arms give him a formidable presence. Rob Colletti’s sharp gaze promises a tough opponent, not just a gluttonous clown.
3. Dr. Hiriluk: Straight From the Pages
After only a silhouette in the trailer, the eccentric doctor Hiriluk is now fully revealed through Mark Harelik’s performance. His look stays true to the original, from his distinctive outfit to his unmistakable wild hairstyle.
With a warm voice and a passionate pirate dream shown in the trailer, Mark Harelik is expected to move audiences deeply in the emotional flashback scenes.
4. Dr. Kureha: The Fierce 72-Year-Old Beauty
Finally, Katey Sagal makes a commanding appearance as Dr. Kureha. Famous for her role as Peg Bundy in Married… with Children, the 1954-born actress surprises fans by maintaining an incredible figure at 72.
Kureha’s costume matches the manga perfectly, including the confidently exposed midriff of the 141-year-old doctor. Katey Sagal’s presence exudes strength, sharpness, and the quirky brilliance of a genius doctor. With such a stellar cast, Netflix proves it’s serious about maintaining the high standards set by season one.
