The Streaming Giant Chooses Spot-On Star for Mr. 2 in One Piece Season 3
The Secret Organization is poised to exert significant influence in the next installment of Netflix’s show of One Piece, though the major clash won’t take place until season 3, and a adored, audience-beloved member has now been chosen.
The streaming service revealed Tuesday that the skilled actor will appear in the One Piece upcoming season’s lineup and will play Bon Clay. Bon Clay can use their power to transform into an exact copy of any person they’ve laid a hand on with their dominant hand. Escola, who is identifies as non-binary and goes by they/them, will play a interpretation of that character re-envisioned as gender non-binary, as opposed to as a drag performer, in the real-life adaptation, unlike the initial comic and anime.
The new cast member is joined by a number of recently announced actors tasked with bringing the organization to the screen, such as leader the main antagonist, brought to life by the seasoned performer, Sophia Anne Caruso as Miss Goldenweek, and Sendhil Ramamurthy, who will appear as the cast as the ruler of the desert kingdom.
Though Bon Clay is a major member of the organization, the character won’t appear until One Piece the third season. Considering the next season set to cover the Little Garden segment, this signals a notable change in the timing of the character’s debut, one that could signal more adjustments to the plot development.
Their mix of precise humor and emotional depth makes them a standout choice for the part. Along with their current animated role in the youth-focused cartoon movie Boys Go to Jupiter, they garnered significant recognition and several accolades for creating and performing in the successful stage production Oh Mary!, highlighting the adaptability they’ll bring to one of One Piece’s most celebrated roles.
The streaming service’s real-life One Piece show is set to return for its next installment on March 10, 2026.
