Episode 1,151 of the TV anime "ONE PIECE" (Fuji TV, Sundays at 11:15 PM), based on the popular manga by Eiichiro Oda, entitled "A Dream I Made with My Father! Bonnie's Free Future," aired on November 30th, and it became a hot topic when it was revealed that Takano Urara would be playing the mysterious character Joy Boy.
Joy Boy has only appeared by name in the show so far, and although there are still many mysteries surrounding him, it has been hinted that he will be an important character in the story. After the broadcast, Takano wrote on her account (@urara__takano) "I had the opportunity to appear in ONE PIECE! I was involved with ONE PIECE only once, a long time ago. 27 years have passed since then. This time, I will live the role of Joy Boy with many memories. 27 years is a very long time, and it feels like 800 or 900 years, but... I will return to my roots and do my best!"
On social media, viewers left comments such as, "I got goosebumps," "I almost cried when I heard Takano, the voice of the original Luffy, voiced Joy Boy," "It made so much sense that it made me groan!" and "Takano is the biggest key character in the series...! The anime staff's enthusiasm is so passionate!!"
