# One Piece's Unstoppable Legacy: Even Stars Are Stunned by Its Global Domination! Imagine pouring your heart into a role for a blockbuster live-action series, only to watch fans still chanting for the original anime over 1,000 episodes later. That's the surreal reality for **Taz Skyler**, who plays Kiwi in Netflix's *One Piece* Season 2, as he shared his genuine surprise at the manga's enduring hype.[1] In a recent interview with *Times of India*, Taz Skyler opened up about the phenomenon that's kept *One Piece* ruling hearts worldwide for decades. "It's insane how this story from the '90s still feels fresh and pulls in new fans daily," he remarked, highlighting the franchise's timeless appeal amid Season 2's explosive March 10, 2026 premiere.[1] Despite the live-action hit storming Netflix charts at #1 globally and proving the three-year wait was worth it, the anime's legacy remains unchallenged—recent surveys even rank its 2026 Elbaf arc return at a strong sixth among most anticipated shows, trailing isekai giants but with room to surge as buzz builds.[4][1]
