The production for the second season of One Piece live-action season 2 has started in Capetown, South Africa, and the Straw Hat Pirates of the widely popular Netflix series are all ready to once again prove themselves. This was recently portrayed by Taz Skylar, who plays Sanji in the live-action series, as the actor posted a video of him training for the upcoming battles.
As One Piece fans know, Sanji only uses his legs to fight his opponents in the series. Thus, Skylar has been focusing on training his legs since season 1, and he has gotten pretty good at it. His kicks are more smooth and powerful than ever, and every Sanji fan is excited to see his performance as they appreciate him for his hard work.
However, Skylar’s kicks have become so lethal that he is earning praise from Stephen Thompson, the professional mixed martial artist and former professional kickboxer from the UFC. He commented on Sanji’s video and commended him for his hard work.
Taz Skylar’s Training For One Piece Live-Action Season 2
Skylar’s performance as Sanji in One Piece live-action season 1 was one of the best performances in the series considering the complexity in the playing of the character. He was loved by Sanji fans, and after the release of the series, the actor talked about the intense training and hard work that he put into getting ready for the role.
As he was doing all of his stunts on his own, he used to train for 8–10 hours a day for six months, specifically focusing on his kicks. His intensity as Sanji and his dedication to the role proved him worthy of playing Sanji. And now the actor has shown even more dedication for the second season.
Taz Skylar has been sharing his training and practice videos with his fans to showcase how far he has come from the first season. All of the videos and pictures show him getting through hardcore training, and now the time has finally come for him to reveal what he has been doing for the past year.
UFC Fighter Stephen Thompson Approves of Taz Skylar’s Performance
Recently, Skylar shared a new video of him showcasing his talent with his legs, and it has gotten a great response from One Piece and Sanji fans. But the highlight was Stephen Thompson’s comment on Skylar’s video. Thompson is one of the greatest UFC welterweight fighters in history.
According to his stats, he has been through 37 amateur and 20 professional matches. He has a record of 17-7-1, which in itself speaks for his talent as a karate fighter and a kickboxer.
Thompson’s appreciative comment on Skylar’s video about his kick proves that the actor is going down the right path, and he is definitely ready for season 2.
But fans will have to wait for the release of the second season of One Piece live-action to see Skylar’s performance as Sanji. Season 2 holds a special place for the Straw Hat Pirates, especially for Sanji as he fought Mr. 2, also known as Bon Clay, who is quite famous within the fandom.
One Piece live-action is available to watch on Netflix.
