On September 21, 2024, Netflix changed its X bio to a simple dialogue to welcome the arrival of the latest Straw Hat Pirate, Tony Tony Chopper, from One Piece Live Action season 2. Even though the other characters, like Nico Robin and Crocodile, were also announced recently, this act took over the internet indicating that the character would be something special.
Even though the fandom might not realize this, this is a big thing because the official account of the streaming service has about 22 million followers, and even though there is a separate account dedicated to One Piece live-action, the biggest X account made an initiative. This could indicate that Chopper's entry to the live-action series could be grand.

One Piece Live Action season 2: Netflix changes its X bio to welcome Chopper
The official X account of Netflix, the one with 22 million followers, recently changed its bio to "Tony Tony Chopper Hello." This gesture was to welcome the latest member of the Straw Hat Pirates in the One Piece live-action series, even though his casting hasn't been announced yet.
Moreover, this gesture took over the internet because even though the lovely casting for Nico Robin and Mr 0 (Crocodile) were also announced a few days ago, the spotlight went towards a character whose casting is yet to be announced, something which the fandom also discussed online.
Reaction from the fandom
As expected, the fandom couldn't help but admit that the hype around this character from the live-action series was on another level. However, the majority was adamant that this gesture from the streaming service could be due to the character's cuteness and would go great as merchandise.
Lastly, one fan admitted that the pirate with the lowest bounty in the series dominated the real world, again indicating the character's entry in One Piece Live Action season 2.
"The hype behind this character is crazy bruh" a fan said
"It's cause they know the merch boutta go crazy. Their main merch man has arrived." another fan claimed
"They are 100% going to make Chopper a bear and they are going to sell very well" another one claimed
"Chopper, A pirate who got the Lowest bounty in the one piece world now conquering the RL" another one said
Final thoughts
The hype of Tony Tony Chopper is indeed unmatched and the recent buzz on the internet is proof of it. As indicated by the visual that was shared of the character, there are changes that he could be a CGI, instead of a real person. This would be a wise decision too but it is advised to wait for official confirmation as this could be announced in the upcoming days.
