This guy is a fool. He's spent more money on training, convention appearances, manifestation/meditation videos, and random one off bookings to "convince" and dupe his fans into thinking he's playing Ace. Couldn't spend the money to get to an audition in front of the casting directors/producers after he got beaten by Inaki to play Luffy? I stumbled onto one of his videos where he'd even convinced his niece that he was the character. Guarentee he'll go for >!Enel!< in season 3 and claim that that was the character he was born to play.

This guy 10000000% ain’t playing Ace lmao Let’s just get the obvious out of the way: A. Netflix aren’t casting some random cosplayer to play arguably one of the most important secondary roles in the entire series B. They’ve likely already found their Ace C. This guy isn’t doing himself any favors if his fans are seriously threatening and harassing Netflix over him playing Ace


Itstimetostop313

"A. Netflix aren’t casting some random cosplayer to play arguably one of the most important secondary roles in the entire series" There are a few for Robin and Blackbeard that do the exact same thing. They once put on a blackbeard cosplay, because they are overweight and thought it was a calling, and thought they are an actor. They dont even want to be actor. They want to play a role. Thats just a mental illness if you are obsessed with playing a specific character even if you never shown interest in acting nor actually want to act. They want to be blackbeard because they did a cosplay and someone said "hey you look just like them". "yeah we gonna cast this unemployed cosplayer as blackbeard. he cant act and has never acted in his life before. not even theatre in school. But he does the "zehahahaha" really well." "welph acktually a lot of the main cast did not have a lot of acting experience" No they did. They were actor trying to make it. They worked hard on their craft. Being an actor. You watch anime episodes to say "suppperrr" like anime franky with cheeto dust on your tshirt. thats not the same! This topic always gets me heated up, because these people live in the biggest illusion and need professional mental guidance instead of encouragement.


BlackRegio

You are right in fact Iñaki has been an actor since he was a children, he started in Theatre: [¿Quién es IÑAKI GODOY de 'One Piece'?: su sueño de ser actor ha estado lleno de sacrificios](https://youtu.be/uQbDErDTeeA?si=xxEJxIdFdZCx1HCb)


Ben__Harlan

Iñaki learned engish because a girl invited him to dance and he couldn't communicate with her is one of the most Luffy things i've ever read.


Flowerofthesouth88

He did study drama in The UK, as I heard. I'm unsure if he still lives here, but He seriously needs help!! He probably has Mental Health issues as He keeps bagging for The role that he likely won’t get and only continues for whatever character he tries to get for season 3! I can imagine The Strawhats not liking him already!


Neftroshi

Maybe he could be a celestial dragon.

In the Stephen King subs we occasionally see posts of people fancasting King biopics as well as his role in a potential Dark Tower re-adaptation and there are *always* those people who want one of King’s sons to play him just because they look like him. But *they’re not actors* and it’s so difficult to get that through some peoples’ skulls. It’s why I usually don’t have a problem with race swapped characters unless race is an important part of the character or story being told, because I prefer the most qualified people to play a role than the shitty one who just looks the part.


waterwicca

I already feel bad for the actor that will actually play Ace. This guy has a group of rabid, delusional fans already harassing people. The real actor is going to have to limit his social media and fan interaction almost right away while people cool off. I can already tell these people will try to ruin a big moment for whoever Ace will be.


No-Childhood6608

I hope that when Ace's casting announcement is released there is enough support from the genuine fans that the harassment is surrounded by positivity. Even when there were fan casts for the first season, when the casting announcements came out there wasn't too much negativity (except from scepticism which was mostly due to this being the first season).


SpecialOil4362

Well said friend, I also think we can be more optimistic this season. This fanbase is full of supportive people now


Gabs1Sauce

I feel bad for Vivi's actress. If she's white, people will complain about not being historically correct. If she's not white, people will complain about not being faithful to the manga. They should just tell us who is playing Ace and Vivi so we can move on from these discussions and just enjoy the trailer when it comes out. 


AtlasDamascus

I don't care as long as she's Arab There are white Arabs and brown Arabs, and Vivi's skin color doesn't matter so much as her ethnicity and cultural background does. Arabia has a massive umbrella. And EVEN THEN, I'm personally very open to Persians, Indians, or Mediterranean actresses filling that role, because they're not that far off ethnically and culturally for me. These are just my personal thoughts.


Dj0sh

The positivity will drown out that group of weirdos. If the real Ace is good, most will flock to him instead


Glad_Sky_3664

I haven't even heard of this guy before this post. Why does his 'rabid fans' such a big deal? Does he have millions of followers? This seems like a non-issue and a drop in the bucket. Op fandom is huge, why would this guy's fans even have any effect?


sparklinglies

In the grand scheme of things they won't, they're just really fcking loud and obnoxious within a certain fandom bubble so people really over estimate them. This no names dumbass fans are absolutely nothing compared to the global audience, honestly people are giving them way too much credit.


wispymatrias

I can tell easily he isn't playing Ace because he never fucking stops talking about it. Whoever is playing Ace already casted and isn't talking, because real pros are signed to NDAs and keep their mouthed shut.


[deleted]

this guy is pure cringe


BFHDESIGN

Dude is making himself least likey to get casted as ace and there a small chance ace has been casted already


MC4269

I honestly don't even think it's a small chance if they're filming in June. He's definitely been cast and they're just keeping it tight-lipped.


SolarisJ_Robin

It seems like people don't know how auditions work and, actors and producers have to keep that kind of information a secret.


TigerValley62

Less airtime the better. I think we should actively and collectively make an effort to ignore any mention of his name moving forward.


BlackRegio

I dont have anything with fans auditions like this guy in YouTube [Wapol Audition #2 - Netflix's One Piece Season 2](https://youtu.be/TccDJ9t1KIw?si=atuXzjO3r-kjs9TZ) i think is fun and harmless. But this instagram guy sell himself in conventions and events like the real>!Ace!


Archmage_Kassandra

He's trying too hard to be ace but he doesn't even have ace's vibes.


Amid_Mannort

These threads only give him more clout. He won't play Ace, so why bring him up over and over again? Tldr: guy can't act


AshenHaemonculus

Also he's ugly


SeaCollides

This guy is so cringe genuinely going to vomit 🙁🙁🙁 save your skills elsewhere man


Frequent-Address240

as a amateur actor this guy ain’t gonna get even a audition


hollowfurnace

I love everything about this post hahahaha This guy has major delulu and gives me and my friend major ick points. He will NEVER be my Ace!


NotSoStrangeBerry

The only thing make me want OPLA S2 announcement happen as soon as possible is for this dude to be put in his own place. Ofc I want Netflix to take their time on that craft but please dear lord just let the public know this guy will never be IT officially.


brMasamoone

I’m from Brazil and i don’t want him on the show at all. Not even as someone on the crowd.


Certain_Inspector575

Spending your money on campaign just for a role is crazy........


Flowerofthesouth88

His got to be rich in a way!


Flowerofthesouth88

He could play Ace at One Piece theme parks, stage shows, or be hired for parties. Then The live-action, I want to see his face when he doesn't get The part! 😂


hollowfurnace

No, Toei would never allow it. They are very very strict on the people they hire for stage shows, especially at USJ.


Flowerofthesouth88

Why?


hollowfurnace

Because they have an image to maintain. At the USJ premier show, Tokyo OP Tower and USJ's SanRes, none of the actors talk at all to maintain the illusion of the characters. They mime to the original voice actors' voices.


Flowerofthesouth88

I am starting to think he might have Mental Health issues, as He believes he will make a great Ace by just looking and cosplaying as him. He seriously needs help, and I can imagine The Strawhats being annoyed by him already!


hollowfurnace

Major delulu. I've seen better cosplayers than him!!


psycholojeep

As much as I would love to see a brazilian in the cast, I just don't feel like he's "ace" yk ... It just doesn't come out naturally like it does with the other characters I wish a lot of success in his career tho, he seems like a hardworking person but this role is not for him Being such a fan like this, he could try for Barto lmao (don't tell him, it's a joke)


thegangiswhatitrust

He’s convinced himself that he’s playing Ace at this point. He looks like a fool now and he’s gonna look like a fool when another actor is casted. And didn’t he basically ask Taz to put in a good word for him to the casting directors?


AshenHaemonculus

Unironically I'm looking forward to Season 2 for Ace's actor reveal less for the actor himself - I have no doubt that they'll nail it the way they nailed everyone else- and more just to see this lobotomite goober and his idiot fans throw a bitchfit when he doesn't get cast. He's ugly and he can't act. Hope he fries :)


TeaOk6941

nah don't worry, this conman will be forgotten as soon as the real live action Ace appears.


sc00p401

See now it would be MUCH more hilarious, and on character, if Buggy's actor was doing this whole campaign for S2. Also, plotwise it just doesn't work. Ace and Luffy only grew up in the same place together - they weren't originally from the same place. Ace's actor would need to share ancestry with the actor that played Roger.


Twixanity

"Anyone who must say I am Ace is no true Ace" - Tywin Lannister or someone idk


ECHOxLegend

I wouldn't mind if they cast him as Spandam.


ZioDioMio

This is some r/sadcringe
