Taz Skylar, who portrays Sanji in Netflix’s live-action adaptation of “One Piece,” has taken his dedication to the role to a new level. His commitment goes beyond just physical training and culinary skills; Skylar expressed his desire to immortalize his connection to the series with a tattoo designed by Eiichiro Oda himself.
Skylar’s preparation for his role as the Straw Hat chef was extensive. He not only hit the gym to perfect Sanji’s signature kicks but also honed his cooking skills to genuinely embody the character’s essence. This dedication paid off, as fans and co-stars alike have praised his culinary prowess.
In a recent interview at the Paris Fan Festival, Skylar revealed his unique request to Oda. He wanted a tattoo that directly linked him to the “One Piece” universe. Skylar asked Oda if he could create a specific design for him, and the manga artist obliged. Oda drew a figure where each part of the body represents a letter, and together, they spell out “One Piece.” This design symbolizes Skylar’s deep connection to the franchise and his admiration for Oda’s work.
Details about the second season of the live-action “One Piece” are scarce, but fans are eagerly anticipating the continuation of the story. The upcoming season is expected to cover significant arcs from the manga, including Loguetown, Little Garden, Drum Island, and Alabasta. These storylines will present new challenges for Sanji and the rest of the Straw Hat crew as they continue their adventures.
Filming for the new season is set to begin this year, with a likely release next year. Fans can expect more action, drama, and of course, more of Skylar’s impressive portrayal of Sanji.
